Hunting Death by amcronin87

Madison Adams feels like her life is pretty perfect, but everything comes crashing down when her biological father passes away suddenly and leaves his legacy in her hands. She ultimately regrets that she hadn't taken the opportunity to get to know him and decides to fulfill his last request; that she move out to the ranch he owned and operated and take up where he left off. Unbeknownst to her though, Madison's father had ulterior motives. Keith Walker isn't your normal veterinarian, not only is he drop dead gorgeous, but he's well, also a little undead. Working for Madison's late father, he's tasked with not only running the ranch but protecting Madison as he helps her discover her destiny. The only problem is, they have very little clues to go on, and by the time things are all said and done, Madison ends up having to protect Keith instead. Can they outwit a ghost determined to exact his revenge, a murderous ex-girlfriend who wants what's hers, and a vampire hunter cop out for blood, in time to discover Madison's destiny before someone else determines it for her? The first novel in The Immortals series, Hunting Death is packed with action and origins and explains all the supernatural you'll need to know for now, with just the right amount of sex, blood, murder, and mystery that you won't be able to put it down! Hunting Death is more than just a vampire story; it's werewolves, and witchcraft, angels and demons, the creation of all things supernatural and beyond. If you're looking for a new telling of an age-old tale, this is it! So take a chance, what have you got to lose?

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.

House Ghost ONC 2022 LONGLISTER by SayWatt74

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.
