TRAITOR | Ghost x Reader
You're the newest addition to Task Force 141 as a sniper. You try your best to fit in with the new team and environment but one member on the team doesn't seem to like you very much. Or so you thought. Ghost is reserved, cold and brutally honest. You were transferred to Task Force 141 as they needed an extra pair of hands to help with missions as a sniper. You've been in the military for a few years and gained up the ranks of one of the best snipers known in the military. They called you "Raven". The name meaning death and you have a winning streak of always hitting your targets. Never missing a single shot. After being with the team for a few months they find out there's a mole giving away the team's movements, missions and plans . They think it's you. What will they do when they find out? (Spoiler it's not you) Enemies to lovers slow burn - Ghost (aka Simon Riley) x y/n Side note - Not campaign accurate Content will contain violence, mentions of blood, injuries, harsh language and sexual scenes etc. Disclaimer- I do not own any of the Call of Duty Characters or storyline's.

CATCH ME ((GHOST))
Insane. That's what the other soldiers called Analaya. She was almost... too happy to be there, in the midst of chaos, killing.

'There's no better place for crazy than 141.' ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ But among finding friends in her new task force, she also finds stronger feelings - hate - for her Lieutenant; Simon Riley. He's always there, with his dry remarks and watching eyes. But she hates him because he sees something behind her unbreakable facade. She had ran. Maybe... technically 'missing' to some. And Ghost continues to uproot her of her old life, bringing up memories that were supposed to remain forgotten, bringing up problems. Problems that cause her to stumble. And Laya never falls. So begins her descend to madness and wrath. ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ Analaya knew why she was here... And this was the last place they'd look for her.
Task Force 141
The world is a warzone, and for Task Force 141 operative Y/N, the line between duty and survival blurs with every mission.

Their connection is immediate, forged in the heat of battle and veiled in shared secrets. This is a story of three phantoms navigating a landscape of deception and danger. When the enigmatic Simon "Ghost" Riley enters the equation, the delicate balance shifts. Every stolen glance and quiet moment between Y/N and Keegan peels back another layer of their protective armor, all under the watchful, hidden gaze of Ghost. The path to trust is a slow, arduous burn, but in the chaos, they might just find a sanctuary in each other.Complete
Anchor
A Ghost/oc fan fiction "I See you, little shadow. And I'm never letting you fade." Nora Ashton knew what she signed up for when she joined Task Force 141 - blood, grit, sacrifice. But nothing could've prepared her for him. Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley: war-hardened, cold, brutal... and the man who unknowingly claimed every shattered piece of her. Their relationship is a secret - forbidden by protocol, sealed by silence, and smothered under the weight of their trauma. He never lets her stay the night, never lets her close, yet he's always there in the shadows, protecting, possessing, watching. But war doesn't just scar bodies - it haunts souls. As missions grow deadlier and their bond deeper, Ghost's obsession becomes as dangerous as the world around them. And Nora? She keeps crawling back, craving the pain if it means feeling his touch. She's the lamb in love with the wolf. And he'd rather destroy the world than lose her.Complete
Wait For Life - Ghost
When nurse Daphne Anderson is assigned to a high-risk mission alongside Ghost, Soap, and the rest of Task Force 141, she expects chaos-but she doesn't expect him. From the moment a rogue hair tie lands on Ghost's cheek, Daphne's world shifts: she's no longer invisible, and neither is the silent, stoic soldier who seems to both haunt and protect her. Thrown into a whirlwind of combat, close calls, and relentless banter, Daphne must navigate the terror of the mission, the chaos of wounded soldiers, and the tension of unspoken attraction. Between moments of levity with Soap, simmering frustration with Jenny, and Ghost's enigmatic presence, every glance, every touch, every command becomes a battlefield of its own. Tropes: enemies-to-lovers, slow burn, forced proximity, unspoken tension, protective soldier, chaos-and-comedy amidst high-stakes missions, accidental intimacy, small gestures with huge emotional weight. Tw: swearing, violence, murder, smoking, kidnapping, blasphemy
