A quiet bookstore. A girl who doesn't believe she's enough. A man who never says too much.
Between the books and the silences, something begins to unfold gently.
P.S I know taken ghost's real personality, this isn't as canon but that's what writing stories and fan fiction is for right? i haven't written in so long and I never put this much effort into a book. but this time hopefully its different because I'm putting quite a bit of my soul and life in it. also english isn't my first language.

Simon | Simon "Ghost" Riley
As a criminal profiler, I'm trained to read minds, not fall for one. Assigned to Task Force 141 to catch a demon from Ghost's past proves more difficult than anticipated, because the masked man I need answers from swears he will never trust me. He won't even let me say his name. But, despite our mutual hatred, a spark kindles between us. And since fires don't ask for permission to burn... we're about to go up in flames.
The Pieces You Left Me (Book 2)
Leo is learning how to breathe again. Maddie is still the calm in his storm. They're older now-changed by time, by pain, by everything they've fought to survive. But some things don't change. Like the way he looks at her. Like the way she always knows what he needs, even when he doesn't. This is a story about love that grows with you. About holding space for someone even when it hurts. About choosing each other-again and again-even when the world keeps pulling you apart. And maybe... about finding your way back when you never really let go. Story Snippet: ---- And she hasn't looked at me in twenty minutes. I know it's not personal. I know she's not trying to be cold. But it feels like I'm on the outside of something I didn't even know I could be outside of. I swallow hard and move toward her before I can talk myself out of it. She glances up as I approach, blinking like she didn't expect me to come over. Her smile flickers but doesn't quite fade. I reach for the hem of her hoodie and tug on it lightly-just enough for her to feel it. "Maddie," I say, quietly. "I really don't like this." Her body stills. She looks at me, really looks at me now, and the sound of the others fades a little. Her eyes soften, but her shoulders don't drop. Not yet. ---- Continuation of "The Softest Parts of Me" Book 1 I highly suggest reading the first book before this one!!! I post Chapter Updates daily! (cover pic is from pinterest)Complete

Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

RIDGEFIRE | Simon Ghost Riley
After losing everything the city promised her, Abigail returns to Willow Ridge Ranch, the place she ran from, and the only thing left with her name on it. There she meets Simon Riley, the quiet, guarded man who's kept the land alive in her absence. He speaks little, works hard, and sees through everything she hides. What begins as tension in the dust slowly becomes something neither of them expected. Under open skies and long silences, two strangers learn that sometimes home isn't a place you remember, it's the one you build when you stop running.
Echos Of You
Ghost was a soldier built for silence, a man who belonged to the shadows, but you cut through him like light he could never dim. You were meant to see through him, to study his mind and keep your distance, yet he couldn't stop watching, couldn't stop circling closer. Nights on base stretched long and restless, your name humming through his thoughts until obsession no longer felt like a sin but a necessity. To him, you weren't a psychiatrist. You were the cure, the weakness, the one thing he would never release. And he would have you, one way or another. Disclaimer: None of the Call Of Duty characters were created by me, I have no problem with people using my story for anything just please let me know beforehand! This story will start out romantic but lead into the realities of obsession and may seem glorified from his point of view but I am absolutely not romanticizing abusive situations. This is a slow burn so if you're looking for strictly spice this story is not for you lol.
