Hey, so I have trouble sleeping, and I'd love for you to do a post inspired by him helping a teammate on a rough night. Thanks! :)

Absolutely, anon! I've been having trouble sleeping lately too, so here it goes.

Simon “Ghost” Riley headcanons! (Helping a teammate through a rough night version)

1. He doesn’t ask questions.

If you show signs of distress, he doesn’t press. He just sits nearby, present and silent, giving you the space to breathe without judgment.

2. Quiet presence.

He won't speak unless you do. Sometimes he’ll just hand you a water bottle or a warm drink and sit on the floor beside your bunk, mask tilted like he’s listening—even if you’re not saying anything.

3. Hyper-aware.

Ghost picks up on changes in body language fast. Tension in your shoulders? Avoiding eye contact? Sleepless at 0300? He notices.

4. No pity, just understanding.

He doesn’t give you the “it’s going to be okay” speech. Instead, you’ll get something like, “I’ve had nights like that too.” And somehow, that means more.

5. The tactical blanket drop.

If he sees you curled up and shivering, he won’t make a scene. he’ll just toss a blanket over your shoulders like it’s an accident and walk away brfore you can thank him.

6. Shared silence.

Sometimes he just sits down across from you and starts cleaning his gear. No talking. No staring. Just existing in the same quiet space, showing you you're not alone.

7. Smoke break companion.

Even if he doesn’t want one, he’ll light a cigarette just to step outside with you. Offers the lighter without a word. Keeps watch while you stare into the dark.

8. Grounding instincts.

If he sees your hands shaking, he might hand you something small... his lighter, a coin, a shell casing. Something to focus on. You don’t even have to ask.

9. Sharp memory.

He remembers what helps you calm down. The song you hum, the snack you keep stashed, the way you breathe when you’re trying to get through a wave of panic. And he adapts.

10. The unspoken follow-up.

The next day, he doesn’t bring it up. But he hands you a protein bar, nods once, and keeps walking. Like saying, “You’re still here. That’s all that matters.”

Any Simon Riley headcanons in terms of cooking ability? Can he cook? Is it something he looks for in a partner?

Simon 'Ghost' Riley headcanons! (Cooking version)

1. Basic survival cooking only.

Ghost can cook enough to not starve: eggs, toast, instant noodles, maybe pasta if he’s feeling fancy. Anything beyond that is a gamble.

2. Military mess hall habits.

He’s used to eating whatever is put in front of him without complaint. Flavor, texture, presentation? Not important. Calories and convenience are all that matter.

3. Absolutely no baking.

Baking requires precision, measuring, patience — all things Ghost has no time for in the kitchen. He once tried to bake cookies and ended up with charcoal bricks.

4. Weapons over kitchen tools.

Give him a knife and he’s a god; give him a peeler and he looks like he’s disarming a bomb. He holds kitchen utensils like they’re potential threats.

5. "Is cereal cooking?"

He will genuinely ask you this with a straight face. And in his mind, yes — pouring milk and cereal into a bowl is a form of culinary effort.

6. Cooking with a girlfriend.

He gets awkward if you try to "teach" him. He’s not used to feeling clumsy in front of someone he cares about. You’ll catch him frowning at the stove like it personally offended him.

"That thing hates me."

7. His "specialty" dish.

If he really tries to impress you, he’ll make a full English breakfast. It's the only meal he feels confident about, and he’ll act like it’s a Michelin-starred event.

8. Soft spot for home-cooked meals.

He doesn’t expect his partner to cook — but if they do, even something simple like grilled cheese, it touches something deep inside him he didn’t know was hungry.

9. Looks for effort, not skills.

He couldn’t care less if his partner is a master chef. If they make food for him with love (even if it’s a disaster), that’s what matters to him.

10. "We can always order pizza."

If everything goes wrong in the kitchen — burnt food, chaos, smoke alarm — he’s already pulling out his phone to order pizza, unbothered. His priorities: food now, cuddles after.

[h0lydrag0ns]

Simon 'Ghost' Riley headcanons! (touching his mask x the first time version)

1. His identity.

Ghost’s mask isn’t just cloth... it’s his armor, his identity. Letting someone close enough to touch it feels like handing them the keys to his chest.

2. Scanning you.

Before the moment even happens, Ghost watches you closely for weeks, searching for any hint of betrayal or mockery. He needs to be absolutely sure.

3. "Don't touch the mask."

It's practically a reflex for him. Even when he trusts them, the words slip out automatically the first few times they reach for him. It's a defense mechanism, not anger.

4. Silent permission.

When he’s finally ready, he doesn’t say anything. No dramatic speeches. He simply sits still and lets their fingers brush the fabric — the silence louder than any words.

5. Barely breathing.

The moment they touch it, he goes completely rigid. Heart hammering, fists clenching, every muscle ready to bolt... but he forces himself to stay still.

6. Sacred ground.

To him, the mask is almost sacred. If they touch it with care — not curiosity, not pity, just care — it feels like an offering he never thought he could accept.

7. A vulnerability hangover.

Afterwards, he needs space. Not because he regrets it, but because the raw exposure leaves him feeling like an open wound. Even hours later, he’ll be distant, quieter than usual.

"simon? You okay?"

"...don't know."

8. New kind of trust.

Something shifts between you after that. It's like he gave you an unspoken title: someone who knows, someone he doesn't have to hide from.

9. Tiny changes.

After that day, Ghost lets small things slide: leaving his mask half-raised to drink water around them, letting them see glimpses of the man under the skull.

10. "Thank you for not asking."

If they ever bring it up, he’ll just nod stiffly and say, "Thanks for not pushing."

Because in Ghost's world, patience is the rarest, most valuable kind of love.

[h0lydrag0ns]

Silent Apologies

It's been a heavy few days, so here's some hurt/comfort for you. The interactions on my posts had decreased A LOT ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ

Hope this hits the heart a little.

1. Cold eyes.

Ghost’s stare is hard, unreadable. No soft looks today. Not even when you meet his gaze, desperate for a sign that everything's okay.

2. Silence cuts sharper than words.

He barely says anything. Short commands. Terse nods. You can feel the distance like a wall between you.

3. Doubts creep in.

Maybe you messed up. Maybe he’s sick of you. Maybe you're not as important as you thought you were.

The worst part is — you can’t bring yourself to ask.

4. Small mistakes feel huge.

You flinch when you drop something. Apologize too quickly when you bump into him. Every tiny thing feels like another reason for him to be mad.

5. Ghost notices.

He notices. Every twitch, every glance, every little way you’re shrinking yourself around him.

And it guts him.

6. Fear, not anger.

He isn’t mad at you. He’s mad at himself. For letting you get hurt. For not protecting you better.

For letting you into a world that can break you.

7. The internal war.

He wants to reach for you. Pull you in. Apologize. But he’s scared that if he touches you right now, he’ll lose control — and he can’t afford to lose control.

8. Quiet breaking point.

It’s not words that break him. It’s the way you flinch back when he moves too fast.

Like you're scared of him.

9. The real apology.

No big speech. Just a low, rough voice:

"Not angry at you. Never at you."

Like it's being dragged out of him against his will.

10. Pulling you back.

A hesitant hand on your wrist. A gentle tug. His forehead pressing against yours — mask and all.

Silent, wordless, desperate.

"Stay."

He's not mad... Maybe he's just afraid. Afraid of losing you.

It's a bit of a shitty day, it's raining. So I'll make a post inspired by that, just fluff.

Simon 'Ghost' Riley headcanons! (Lazy Sunday with his Girlfriend)

1. Wakes up slow.

Not instantly alert like usual. He lets himself drift awake to the sound of you breathing beside him, eyes half-lidded under the mask.

2. No mask, no pressure.

If it’s just you and him? Sometimes, he’ll leave it off. Not a big thing. Just another layer he doesn’t need between you on a day like this.

3. Gravitates toward you.

Not super obvious, but his hand will find your thigh, your hip, some part of you. Always touching, like he's making sure you're real.

4. Coffee rituals.

He makes the coffee, you make the breakfast. It's unspoken, automatic, comfortable... the kind of routine he never thought he'd have.

5. Domestic chaos.

You steal his hoodie. He grumbles about it being "too big for you," but he never asks for it back. Just watches you, quietly amused.

6. Protective instincts turned soft.

Locks the door, double-checks the windows... not out of fear, just habit. After that, he relaxes, finally sitting still next to you on the couch.

7. Movie in the background.

Neither of you are really watching. His hand rests lazily on your knee, moving up slowly and acting all innocent.

8. Napping together.

He doesn’t mean to fall asleep. It's just... your warmth, the quiet, the feeling of not being needed for a few hours. It knocks him out.

9. Small smiles.

Real ones. Rare, barely-there smiles he hides against your neck or under your hair.

10. End of the day.

When you finally drag yourselves to bed, he mutters something against your skin. something soft.

"Could get used to this."

"what did you just said?"

"...shut up."

Inspired by ghost having a panic attack, how about reader? Or something like that?

Got you!!

Simon 'Ghost' Riley headcanons! (Reader Panic Attack Version)

1. He notices instantly.

Ghost picks up on the change before you even realize it yourself. Breath hitching, hands trembling slightly, don't talk... he's trained to notice threats. You're not a threat, but you're his, and that makes it worse.

2. Quiet protection.

No big gestures. No "you alright?" Because he knows you are not, no touching without warning. He simply moves closer, standing like a wall between you and everyone else, creating a silent shield without making a scene.

3. Tactical grounding.

His voice drops into a low, steady rumble- giving you orders in a calm, familiar tone.

"Focus on my voice." "Breathe with me." "You're safe."

4. Subtle touch.

He doesn't touch you. But if you seek him out first, he'll let you touch him. He'll let you cling to his sleeve like a lifeline, pull you closer... If you're lucky, he'll kiss you on the forehead (if you're a couple).

5. Threat neutralized.

He treats the panic like he would an enemy. And he stays until you're steady again, refusing to leave even a second early.

6. No questions, no pity.

When it’s over, Ghost doesn’t ask, doesn’t pry, doesn’t look at you like you’re fragile. Just a simple nod, like he’s saying: "You fought. You won."

And he won't see you different.

7. Shield from others.

If anyone so much as glances at you wrong while you're vulnerable, Ghost’s stare alone is enough to make them back off. He guards your dignity without you even realizing it.

8. Silent aftermath.

Later, when things have calmed down, he might leave something for you — a cup of water, a clean hoodie, something wordless that says "I’m still here."

9. Personal mission.

He quietly memorizes every trigger, every sign, every way to help you faster next time. Ghost treats your survival like it's a mission... and he doesn’t fail missions.

10. "You’re safe with me."

You’ll never hear him say it directly. But it’s there... in his steady breathing next to you, in the way he positions himself between you and the door, in the way he stays awake longer just to make sure you're alright.

Thanks @siriusxmunofficial x the request!

If you can't do nsfw or smut, what do you want to do then? 0_o

Make a list, or smth like that

Thats actually a pretty good idea... Thanks, anon.

Things I will do:

♪ Fluff. (awkward, sweet, domestic...) give me all of it.

♪ Angst. Emotional wreckage? yes please

♪ Comfort/healing. You want pain and softness? say less.

Things I won’t do:

• NSFW or SMUT. (character respect reasons)

Gray area (ask first):

• Violence-heavy prompts. (Depends on the tone)

I want to see what would happen if Ghost had a panic attack in front of his girlfriend

Simon “Ghost” Riley headcanons! (Anxiety attack edition – brutal version)

1. He knows it’s coming.

There’s a moment where he thinks, “Maybe I can hold it off this time.” spoiler: he never can.

2. It starts with his breathing.

Too fast. Too shallow. He counts like it’ll help; four in, four out... but his chest feels like it’s been nailed shut.

3. He hides it well.

Until he doesn’t. The tremor in his hands, the rigid jaw, the thousand-yard stare like he’s halfway back in some godforsaken place.

4. He tells you to leave.

Voice clipped. Deadpan. But you hear the panic underneath. The kind that doesn’t ask for help because it never learned how.

But, of course, you are stubborn as hell...

5. You stay.

You always stay. You take a step closer. He doesn’t say anything, but his fists stop clenching. That’s permission enough.

6. You talk him down.

Not with big declarations. Just the facts. “You’re safe. You’re here. I’ve got you.” Again and again until he starts to believe it.

7. He breaks.

Not loudly. Not dramatically. He doesn't cry, he is too proud for that. Just a quiet “I can’t-” as he presses his face into your shoulder like it’s the only place left in the world that makes sense.

8. You hold him.

Carefully. Like he’s made of splinters. Like if you squeeze too hard, he’ll disappear. He doesn't cry, like i said earlier, but his whole body shakes like it wants to.

9. After, he’s quiet.

Doesn’t look at you. Doesn’t thank you. Just sits there, hands in his lap, jaw tight, like he’s embarrassed to still be breathing.

He wants to just curl up and dissapear. He's embarassed. But you know it will pass.

10. You pretend nothing happened.

Because that’s what he needs. But when he finally says your name: low, steady, real... you look up. And he’s already watching you like you’re the only thing keeping him on the ground.

(tysm for 80 followers omg! Requests are open.)

i love that you’re not doing smut. theres so much of it in the tag sometimes i feel overwhelmed lol

Thank you so much, anon. that really means a lot.

I’m just doing my thing, and I’m glad it’s bringing some comfort to others too ^^

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley headcanons! (Valentine’s Day Disaster version)

1. He forgot what day it was.

Genuinely didn’t realize it was Valentine’s Day until someone mentioned it in the mess hall. Immediate internal panic. You could see the exact moment his soul left his body.

2. Last-minute “romantic” gesture.

Stopped at a convenience store and bought what he thought was a box of chocolates. It was actually laxative-filled prank candy. He only realized after proudly handing it over to you.

3. Terrible at love notes.

Tried writing a heartfelt message. It ended up sounding like a ransom letter. “You make me feel... things. That’s all. – S.” The handwriting didn’t help.

4. Dinner reservation? What dinner reservation?

He was sure he booked a restaurant. Turns out he dreamed it. They ended up sharing instant noodles and stolen military rations. He offered the last bite like it was caviar.

5. Overcompensates with intensity.

Brought a bouquet of twelve roses… all black. Didn’t realize they were funeral flowers. Looked very proud handing them over like he’d just slain a dragon.

6. Gets teased by Soap for a week.

“Didn’t know ‘chocolate roulette’ was part of your love language, Simon.” Soap nearly dies laughing every time it comes up. Ghost threatens violence but never denies it.

7. You loved it anyway.

Despite the chaos, he tried. And that meant everything. There’s a picture of him scowling next to a heart-shaped cookie and it’s now your phone wallpaper.

Even you two had a good night, if you know what I mean.

[h0lydrag0ns]

I just saw the voting you opened for your next post, and I noticed there's no smut option. Could you make a more explicit post?

Hey! So, im sorry about that, but i'm not sexualizing Simon. (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

There's a lot of accounts that make those kinds of posts, you can explore a little and find many of them.

Good luck with that!

[h0lydrag0ns]

How would Ghost react if he sees you wearing his dog tags? I need to know rn :)

/🤍/

Say less, I got you.

Simon 'ghost' Riley headcanons! (When you wear his dog tags)

1. You don’t think it’ll matter.

They’re just tags, right? You slip them on while getting dressed. But when he walks in and sees them resting against your chest, his whole mood shifts.

2. Realization.

His body language changes. Eyes dilated. He doesn’t speak. Doesn’t blink. He just stares. You ask what’s wrong. "those my dog tags?" His voice is lower. Rougher. Like it scraped against gravel.

3. He moves slowly.

Comes up behind you. Presses close. His gloved fingers hook around the chain, tugging it gently. You swear you can feel heat radiating off him.

“Didn’t think you’d wear those.”

"Simon, I like how they look on me..."

“-So do I.”

4. Tension? Palpable.

The kind that makes you forget how to breathe. His hands stay at your hips. The tags clink softly between you. You can feel the restraint buzzing under his skin.

Like he’s barely keeping himself together.

5. He doesn’t break eye contact.

Even when his hand slides under the chain to brush your skin. Even when he presses his forehead to yours and whispers.

“Do you have any idea what that does to me?” and, of course, a dirty, flirty comment.

6. It's not just lust.

Okay, this has me smiling like an idiot.

He kisses the tags once. Then your neck. Then lower. He doesn’t rush. He takes his time. Like he's claiming, not just kissing.

7. He doesn’t let you take them off.

Not that night. Not the next morning. Not even showering without them. Every time you reach for them, he stops you.

“Leave 'em on.”

He won’t say it out loud, but you already know: you’re wearing a piece of him.

8. Possesiveness after.

You’re tucked against him. His dog tags between your bodies. He fingers the chain absentmindedly, voice quiet.

"you're mine. Got it?"

You better say yes.

9. Obsession.

He starts offering them to you more. You catch him staring every time. His gaze heavy. Possessive

“They’re on the dresser, if you want.”

The best part? No one else gets that look. Only you.

10. They’re not just tags anymore.

They’re a promise. A piece of him he gave you willingly. And every time you wear them?

He looks at you like you’re the only thing keeping him alive.

[h0lydrag0ns]

Okay, I need to do an appreciation post for this series. Like... hello? Im the only one completely obsessed with it? @itsoutrageouss I NEED MORE.

[h0lydrag0ns]

Omg omg can you write some headcanons about Simon sleeping with you for the first time? I love your posts :0

This made my day. Of course, sweetie! I have no more ideas (⁠ʘ⁠言⁠ʘ⁠╬⁠)

Simon 'ghost' Riley headcanons! (Sleeping with reader for the fist time)

1. Nervousness.

Well, he's experienced at sex. But being a relationship with someone he loves, someone like you? Sleeping with you? It's too much, too much for him... So he's been shaking ever since you asked him if he wanted to sleep with you.

2. Apologies

Its always a "baby, i have nightmares..." Or a "I snore too much... Im sorry." From him what drives you crazy. You have to repeat him over and over a "i dont care, Simon." So he believes you.

3. A cuddle buddy.

When you convince him to sleep with you and get him into bed? He won't leave your side. He'll make sure you sleep well. Even if you're with him, a damned snoring mess. He will stroke your hair, and he will indeed do everything to keep you close to him.

4. You're going to take care of him.

He may act as tough and cold as he can. But he hasn't had a night without nightmares in YEARS. He'll wake up startled in the night, and only your cuddles will calm him down. "don't leave me, t/n..."

5. Protective instincts.

He's always half-awake, even in his sleep. The second he feels you stir, his hand is already reaching for you, just in case. Not in a paranoid way –well, maybe a little– but mostly because you're his anchor.

6. Night talks.

Once he's comfortable, the quiet moments before sleep turn into the times he opens up the most. Trauma, childhood—whatever it is, you’re the one he’ll talk to in the dark.

7. Clingy when asleep.

You shift an inch, and suddenly he’s latched onto you like a koala. Doesn’t matter how big he is or how small the bed is—he will end up wrapped around you like a weighted blanket.

8. The mask stays on, at first.

He tries to keep the mask on, says it’s “habit.” But the first time you pull it off gently and kiss his forehead? He doesn’t wear it to bed again.

8. Late-night ramblings.

Sometimes, when he can’t sleep, he’ll mutter the most random stuff. “D’you think Captain Price uses beard oil?” You don’t always get answers, but he appreciates your half-asleep hums.

10. He steals the blanket.

This man will unconsciously roll himself into a burrito and leave you freezing. You complain, he grumbles, and then he ends up draping his entire body over you as a "compromise."

[h0lydrag0ns]

Exams are over. I'll be posting as much as this shitty phone lets me. Love you, buddies. <3

Btw, if you have ideas for posts, I'm open to everything 😙

[h0lydrag0ns]

Simon 'ghost' Riley headcanons! (Things he loves about you version)

Okay. Imagine you are his girlfriend now.

1. Compliments.

Oh, i know he LOVES your compliments. Calling him a good boy, handsome, strong... It makes something to him. Something... Something good. His cheeks heat up like he's in an oven, and he hides his face in your neck, avoiding a smile.

2. Wearing his hoodies.

Does he see you wearing one of his hoodies? Seeing how it's too big and falls off, revealing your shoulders? Get ready, because he'll take it off you in less than a minute. Along with all the clothes you're wearing, ofc.

3. Your touch.

You always have a way of making him forget who he is. The strong lieutenant? No, now he's a jelly when you cuddle him. Can't sleep? You run a hand through his hair, and he's already purring like a cat. But... He'll never admit it. His damn pride won't let him.

4. Your stubbornness.

He says he doesn't like it. But he loves it when you are a COMPLETELY challenge when something doesn't seem right. You put him in his place. Him and everyone else.

5. Your sensitivity

You're not much of a crybaby, but every time you do... He loves it. He likes to hug you, comfort you... One way or another, it doesn't matter.

6. Your laugh.

God help him when you laugh. It’s like music to him. Even if it’s at something dumb or one of your unfunny jokes (especially those), he’ll chuckle under his breath and pretend it’s no big deal. But inside? Butterflies. Chaos. Absolute meltdown.

7. The way you say his name.

“Simon.” That’s it. That’s all it takes. Doesn’t matter how you say it—sweetly, teasing, scolding—it hits different when it’s you. You say “Ghost,” he’s in soldier mode. You say “Simon,” and he’s already halfway to melting.

8. Your weird little habits.

You bite your straw. You talk to animals like they understand. You tap your fingers when you're thinking. He notices all of it. Won’t say anything. But catch him smiling when you’re not looking? Yeah. Busted

9. Your scent.

You leave behind your perfume (or whatever you wear) on his hoodie, and he’s walking around like a lovesick fool. He’ll never admit that he sniffs it. But he does. He does it a lot. Don’t bring it up. He’ll deny everything.

10. The fact that you chose him.

You could’ve had anyone. Someone normal. Someone emotionally available. Instead, you chose the quiet, haunted man with too many ghosts and a mask for a face. And every day, it stuns him a little. You chose him.

And God, he’s so stupidly in love.

[h0lydrag0ns]

Simon 'ghost' Riley headcanons! (He sees you crying version)

What would Ghost do if he saw you crying while being his teammate?

1. Evaluate the situation.

If he sees you crying, he stops for a moment to consider whether it is something serious or whether you should be alone.

2. If it seems like something serious.

He would drop a brief comment like, "Take a breath. No one's going to fuck with you for that." before you walk away.

3. He will always keep his emotional distance.

He's not the type to give comforting words or try to make you feel better with physical contact or obvious gestures.

4. If you are not close to him:

He'll probably go on his way without saying anything, assuming it's not his problem or that you'd rather be alone.

5. If you have some mutual respect:

He may stop briefly and ask in a neutral tone, "Are you okay?" without pressuring you to answer.

6. If the bond between you is strong:

Maybe, after a while, he will leave a coffee or a cigarette on the table without saying anything, as a discreet form of support.

7. If you tell him you're okay (even if you're not):

He won't insist. He respects your privacy and will leave you alone.

(I've stopped posting lately due to family issues, I'm so sorry about that)
