House Ghost ONC 2022 LONGLISTER by SayWatt74

Curiosity killed the cat. That's what a young ghost woman, Grey, tells herself everyday, feeling the same tug to know more about the human world. There's only one problem: the lights. The same lights that has made her kind extinct and has made her avoid any humans in her building. She's managed to balance her survival instincts and her curiosity for so long. But one day she makes a single error that brings her closer to a human than she ever wanted to be. Now she'll have to give up the life she's made for herself or fight the light to save her home. Let sleeping dogs lie. That's what college dropout Justin tells himself everyday, ignoring the issues piling up in his life. He's made it work this long. But one day he comes across something totally out of place in his world, and it's only the first of many. Now he has to either accept there's a stalker living in his house, or that his mind is unraveling. They're both running out of time. * ONC 2022 LONGLISTER ONC Prompts used: 64, 70 **Credit to @stella_vigo for the amazing, beautiful cover! **Credit to @ladyloki34 for the lovely lovely chapter banner!

Redemption by soobamooba

Stranded on a snowy mountain road and at risk of freezing to death, Ghost is rescued by an unexpected and unlikely, good Samaritan. Trapped with a stranger, in a snowstorm, with no contact with the outside world, Ghost realises he must overcome his fear of vulnerability and deep rooted stubbornness, and accept help. He never would have imagined that backing down and swallowing his pride, could open so many doors. This storyline originated from Ghost and Roach being left for dead after being betrayed. It changed and morphed into this one after the remastered Modern Warfare, brought a new life to the character of Ghost. If I have time, I may repost with the original backstory.

The Masks in Your Life (Ghost x Reader) by peachyyykid

18+ | contains smut, emotional/psychological abuse, canon-typical violence | please read the first chapter for more information After a mission that didn't go exactly as planned, Ghost gets assigned a covert mission. But spying on a target who doesn't deliver is less intriguing than watching the beautiful, young woman across the street. Too beautiful to always be alone, too young to look this miserable. He couldn't help but compare you to a bird, a beautiful, magnificent one that was caged against its will, having its wings clipped by someone who didn't understand its urge to be free.
