"The Wisp Of A Ghost" Simon Ghost Riley x Female OC

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.
