Althea was dangerous. She wasn't particularly large or imposing, but once you heard the Whisper of her breath, it was too late. Her ability to sneak around without alerting others, as if melting into the shadows, it scared people.
She was a cold, heartless killer, and nothing more. Or so she thought.
She has always looked up at the sky, loving daytime, hating the darkness, the stars that watched her suffer. But one day she meets someone that makes her love the stars.
--------------------------
Althea suddenly felt, more than saw a presence behind her. Before she could whip around, there was a harsh blow to the back of her head, and her vision sparked. she watched, mesmerized as fireworks exploded in her vision. Stars swam across her sight and she reached out for them, but just as she was about to touch them they danced away. The world became darker and darker.
Her radio crackled again, and she could barely hear the words. It was all this death and destruction were miles away, her reality fading. She just barely heard her name being called from the garbled sounds of the communicator.
The last thing she saw was a skull, glinting eerily in the dim light of the alley.

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. Just so you know, there is a playlist for this pic. Here's the link if you're interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Wh7toa54mIyUFQWDwhBxQ?si=64a5ba74d0544b07Complete

Sometimes, even to herself. "Lor," a quiet voice behind her made her flinch. "You know the base is already lit up. There's no need to leave him a light on." "I know," she briefly glanced at all the lights around. Her tiny lamp made no physical difference amidst all that brightness. "It's a sign, Keegan. Leaving a light on for those who are supposed to come home." "You're waiting for him despite everything he's done to you? After all the pain you've been through?" he touched the bruise on her arm, fully aware that there were more she kept hidden. "Yes." Slow burn. Strangers to lovers to enemies.

Hidden by design (Simon "Ghost" Riley x OC)
Simon "Ghost" Riley x Reader TW: Blood, Knives, Guns, Sex, Language, Stalking, Torture, Abuse, Manipulation, SH, Drugs, Pills You can imagine Ghost how you love him. 💜 Blurb: 🪻🪻🪻 Lynx, the best of the best. An asset who handed us intel no one else could find. One day, the messages stopped. No contact. Days stretched into weeks, weeks into months. Our missions started failing without Lynx's intel. So my team and I made a decision, even though our contract had one clear rule: Never try to find out who they are. Our only lead brought us to the deepest woods in Poland, to a hidden prison. That's how I got assigned by my Captain to get inside. I don't know their face, name. No one does... But I have to find them. Before what they know becomes a weapon. 🪻🪻🪻 AN: I'm BACK, with a new story. I'm so freaking exited for it. Englisch is not my first language. This story is completly my idea, meaning I don't follow the story and plots from the games. Complete Standalone.

Daisy | Simon Riley
With a threat growing in the shadows, Lieutenant Drew "Daisy" Farrell is sought out for TF141, an elite squad of soldiers trained to deal with the world's most serious threats. The transition onto the team goes smoothly, except for the animosity between her and her fellow task force Lieutenant. Despite the anger between them, Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley --the grumpy-ass, arrogant, rude, frustrating, control freak of a man-- manages to distract her with his coffee-colored eyes and sinful touches, leaving her cursing him in more ways than one. But as the target terrorist organization avoids their grasp, he shows her exactly what she can have if she simply listens. ⁂ For anyone else who is feral over Simon Riley and enemies to lovers, this is for you ;) This story contains a lot of smutty chapters, however, there is still plenty of plot to go along with it. Chapters will be noted if they have smut... in case you're curious... This story does NOT follow the video games, ie. Soap's not dead <3 CW: cannon level violence, swearing, explicit sex, threats and inuendoes referring to SA *Warnings will be posted at the top of chapters. Excerpt: He turned to her then, stepping close enough that he brushed against her knees. "Is it possible for you to keep your mouth shut?" he asked lowly. "What? Am I getting on your nerves?" His eyes narrowed at her. "You're gettin' close to an ass-chewing." "Can't handle a little banter, sir?" "You're insubordinate." "And you're sensitive." He let out a frustrated growl. It only served to encourage her. "You wanna take that thing off? It's hard to tell how you're feeling without seeing your face." A very obvious lie, especially when his eyes showed her everything she needed to know. He was pissed.Complete

It's Simple, Riley
"Why?" I whisper when my curiosity gets the best of me and I yearn for the thoughts he hides away "Because I want to love you." Ghost forces the words out when his habits want to lock them away "Okay." I nod as easy as that and his eyebrows furrow at my simple tone "Okay?" He repeats and I repeat my nod. "What are you thinking?" He asks in need for my thoughts I have no problem laying in front of him "It's simple, Riley." I smile and lift my hands to cup his cheeks. "I like you."

"You're in 141 now, Ace. There's no place for being gentle here," His eyes dance across my face but come back up to my eyes as he waits for a response. I swallow the lump that has inevitably formed in my throat, "It was only training. You slammed me against a wall of a 1-by-1 closet," I lean forward, engaging in this stupid game that he has started.
