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

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. 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=64a5ba74d0544b07

Insane. That's what the other soldiers called Analaya. She was almost... too happy to be there, in the midst of chaos, killing. Slipping out of 'suicide' missions, bruised and bloody, but always alive. Always smiling. And always alone. Until one night there's a fault - and it leads Laya to meeting a team just as messed up as her. '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.
