people complaining about this stuff in regards to a fandom based around military propaganda, propaganda for the US and BRITISH militaries no less, always gets to me. if this is about respect to the character or something then realistically these guys are participating in and upholding a culture of racism, SA, misogyny, imperialism, and brutalizing the poor. they are SAS soldiers, they are NOT good people and there is not much to respect about them. (simon being a victim of SA and gaz being a poc does not make them exempt from this). i love the fanfic as much as the next person there are so many talented writers here but do not lose sight of what the source material is. this is literally the worst fandom to complain about characterizations not being 100% pure and good and shit

Also for the TikTok bitches who are complaining about the “oversexualization” of Ghost please pipe the FUCK down because at the end of the day he is just a character so please just let people have their fun holy fuck because it’s not that serious now, it wasn’t that serious then and it will never ever ever be that serious in the future

does anybody know this fic, usually i'm pretty good at finding lost fics but i cannot find it for the life of me. it was posted on tumblr but it is also on ao3 and the ao3 version is much longer iirc

its a simon riley x reader fic, might be tagged as dark!simon because theres an implication he kills someone (in the ao3 version i don't remember this being in the tumblr cut)

he and reader are childhood friends, reader is a civilian, it opens with reader ranting to simon about her dating life while hes sitting on her couch and he makes some kind of dry comment and the reader goes "youre so british" or something. also definitely paraphrasing but theyre having silly banter and reader is like "omg youre supposed to be supportive like my girl friends would be 🙄"

then later on reader gets with another character who i believe is named nick, and simon is jealous bc he wants the reader

(this i cant remember if its a part of this fic or im mixing things up but there is potentially a detail about the reader confessing to simon when they were younger but he rejected her? i remember it like this but it could be the other way around)

reader and 'nick' have a pretty decent relationship, i remember one scene where he picks reader up from work and she rants about her coworkers and hes like "wow (reader's coworker) sounds like a bitch" and they get back to the apartment. when they are making out and then are interrupted by simon texting them

toward the end simon makes his intentions a bit more obvious and nick stops texting the reader for a few weeks, i think theres a comment (that reader makes to simon, not nick) about how she will give nick another chance but cant be with him if hes insecure about her and simons relationship? i honestly dont even remember him being insecure cause he was pretty chill about simon so i think this was just a result of simons behind the scenes manipulations to make the reader think poorly of nick

nick never ends up contacting the reader again so she gets with simon, they are finally together and in his car driving to dinner where she texts nick to end things officially but after sending the message she hears a ping or a light flashes coming from the trunk, and she looks at simon like "wtf" and he doesnt say anything but the way he acts is implying he did kill nick and nick is in the trunk. the reader is in disbelief and starts feeling this slow shock/dread realising what he did

and thats the ending

if you know any fics that resemble this please send even if they aren't 100% matching with the details because i only read it like twice a few weeks ago and did not bookmark it 🥲🥲 tsym in advance if you have any leads!
