#honestly this is just me daydreaming about big stoic simon letting me do my little autistic embroidery with my feet in his lap

It's funny to me that I've literally written the least for Ghost--less than GAZ--considering Ghost is the cod character who reeled me into the fandom in the first place, and also I'm thinking about him constantly and how much potential Ghost has as a character in fic.

Like--bro did everything kids who lived his life dream of. He got away from his shitty father, grew up and got big and strong, beat the shit out of him and sent him packing, and then pulled the pieces of his family back together. He kept his mom's fridge stocked and got his brother clean. He had good Christmases with his family and watched it grow.

Then they all got killed.

Listen, that caretaking instinct isn't just gonna disappear, and I have too much fun thinking about how smothering he'll be when he finally lets himself love someone again--someone who really, really needs him to be everything he made himself into, no less. Someone who needs him to be the big scary Ghost and Simon who fixes their radiator. Someone who needs his quiet and his body heat and his strength and his ability to scare people off with a scowl.

He made himself into someone who could care for other people--people who needed him to look out for them. I think he wants, needs, to be needed, and once you've shown that he makes your life a little better he's going to take that and run with it.
