Lara "Wisp" Moore has been on the hunt for revenge for years, and when she finally gets it, the 141 is less than amused that she stole a kill from them and messed up their assignment.
When Cpt. Price finds out who she is, he recruits her, but there's a shadow always looming over her. A shadow that never takes off his skull mask.
Enemies-to-friends-to-lovers
Occasional fluff
Soap and Ghost are best friends
Content warnings: Violence, gore, torture, blood, talk of all types of abuse, eventual smut, König annoys the shit out of Ghost
MASSIVE TW if you have witnessed war, especially if you are from the Balkans.
Note: This is my first fanfic and published writing of any kind. English is not my first language, so please excuse my mistakes.
The games sadly make me seasick, but I have watched them on YT and am doing my best to keep it canon compliant by cross-checking with the wiki and the comics.
The goal is to finish the story at about 60k words.
Big shoutout to the many creators on TikTok, many of whom have inspired me and certain scenes, like "sebriley", "acidgryyn", "moleculeoftheday", "_shy_si", "clmeowtan" and especially "electronic.fish" who's basically carrying this on her back at this point, and generally the whole community on TikTok.
Summary: Elaina was recruited by TF:141 as their permanent onsite medic. She slowly gets to know the team, except for one. Simon "Ghost" Riley. The mysterious and dangerous masked soldier who barely speaks to her. She feels he doesn't like or trust her and she has no idea why. Yet Elaina wishes he would let her get to know him just a little, after all her contract is for at least three years. After assisting Price with yearly qualifications for the team, things start shifting between Simon and Elaina. When her past threatens to intrude on her present Simon becomes her shield.
Author's Note: Okay, so I have only just started getting into this fandom. (Hey, blame the COD cosplayers that have begun flooding my TikTok courtesy of BookTok. LOL. I have read up a bit on Ghost and have read a few fanfics, so I'm giving it a shot. Please be gentle. Also, I should mention I have never played COD, but have heard of it.
Author's Note 2: This has some things from the games, characters too. I will be including the betrayal by Sheperd and Graves, but in my story, Soap wasn't killed. Just letting the readers know, and please no backlash or comments as I will delete them. This is fan fiction not cannon. Having said that, if the characters seem out of character I'm sorry but this is how they came out as I wrote this. Again, no backlash or rude comments. If you don't like it then don't read the story. Plain and simple.
