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

Home - COD Simon Ghost Riley X Female OC
She thought he saved her. He knew better. An American woman, presumed dead by the world, is accidentally discovered during a mission in Mexico. She's been kept for a year and is barely alive. She's cared for by the 141, it's unsafe for her to return home just yet, but it becomes increasingly clear that something else is at play. Ghost knows to keep his head on straight, even when he's assigned to question her, to test her loyalty. He's the one that gets tested when he discovers that no mask could hide him from her. Her connections are dangerous. His enemies want her. All she wants is to live again. Cartel related storyline, soft Simon, soft female OC. Other characters make important appearances. Not historically or Call of Dutily accurate, although I tried my best. Shamelessly slow burn. 'Eventual smut' is my favorite tag.

NULL - Simon Ghost Riley
There was blood on my favorite jacket. I hadn't washed it. Couldn't. It was still balled up in the bottom of my closet, stuffed under a pile of clothes I hadn't touched since Germany. The red stains had gone dark by now. Dried. But I could still smell it if I got close enough-metallic, sharp, like pennies and cold rain. I stared at it every night before I forced myself to sleep. I told myself I wouldn't forget. Wouldn't move on. Wouldn't heal. I didn't want to heal. I wanted revenge. And then something inside me snapped. Simon Ghost Riley x fem Oc I won't include the missions used in the Games. I read many Ghost fanfictions and almost every has the same missions so I'm changing that. I won't have an upload plan as well. I think it would stress me and i don't want to give you half hearted chapters so please, bear with me. SLOW BURN!!!

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.

In fact, it is so obvious, everyone agrees- everyone but oblivious Ghost.

Having entrusted her with his past, finding a friend in her, he is forced to beat the information out of her, sparing neither strength nor blows. #20 in #Ghost 15.01.2025 #2 in #Price 15.01.2025 An excerpt: A small ritual she had been repeating for the past few days seemed foolish to many. 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.
