Summary
After two hundred years of being both alive and dead, Thomas was all too aware that most people simply tolerated him. Yes, there were a few kind exceptions, but for the most part, his presence seemed to be something that was endured, rather than enjoyed.
or
Thomas dwells on how he's certainly the least liked amongst his fellow ghosts, just as he was in life, but then a series of encounters make him question this belief.

Summary
"I can't be dead."
Thomas stopped talking. His eyes darkened. "I can understand it being hard to come to terms with. Lord knows I felt the same way."
"But the war is over," the Captain said. "I was just about to be discharged. I was about to leave Button House-"
- and go into the new world.
***
Nobody would ever believe it nowadays, but there was a time the Captain thought of a world without war.

Summary
Recently retired from the army, James is lonely and in need of occupation, so he takes up baking as a means of filling the time. Before he knows it, he’s signed up to be a contestant on his favourite TV baking show and, once inside the tent, he finds himself unexpectedly distracted by a fellow contestant, one Anthony Havers — for all the wrong reasons.
TL;DR: It's a Ghosts x Great British Bake Off crossover with a tasty Capvers-flavoured centre

Summary
Thomas turned to him, excitement written all over his face. “We can prove them wrong! I need to show Isabelle that I’m capable of serious relationships, and you need to show Anthony that you’re emotionally available and comfortable with your sexuality. So we fake date! Each other, I mean. You know, we go to events together and things, make them really jealous. Then, when we’ve got them where we want them, we stage a break-up! We’ll have them eating out of our hands in no time!”
James thought about it. Amazingly, Thomas was right. The beauty of the plan was that it was so simple. It would work in both of their favours. It would make both Isabelle and Anthony realise that they were incorrect. What could possibly go wrong?
-----
When Thomas and James, mortal enemies and reluctant co-workers at Pat's bookshop, call a temporary truce, their friends are thrilled. Until, of course, the pair reveal that they are faking a relationship to make Isabelle and Anthony jealous. But as the boundaries between real and fake become increasingly blurry, all anyone can do is watch as Thomas and James figure out the real reason behind five years of animosity.

When Is A Gift Not A Gift (Alison Finds Out) by Infinitely_Odd

Summary
Robin sticks his head out the door, literally, beginning to make a hooting noise. He pulls back enough to cry out "INTRUDER!" before racing, presumably, after Kitty.
The rest of the ghosts quickly follow. Alison groans, but follows after them anyway. Robin is still shouting and running towards a faraway fence past Pat's tree, he's managed to catch up with Kitty. The rest of the ghosts are hot on their heels but each at different paces- with Julian and Fanny lagging behind for the sake of their dignity.
Because then, she realises exactly what, or who, she's looking at. Behind Kitty, staring terrified at the house, is a young girl. She's wearing a tank top and black trousers. Alison breaks into a run, desperately trying to reach her, her heart hammering against her rib cage and her chest seizing up. She prays to whatever god is out there. Please.

War Is Over (If You Want Me) - Prequel
Following the flashback to the Captain's death in Carpe Diem (Series 5 Episode 5), we know that Havers has survived the war and he and the Captain share an intimate moment as the Captain dies. But what happens next? This attempts to answer some of these questions and create a bridge between that episode and the Afterlife fic "War Is Over (If You Want Me)".
"Explain yourself,” bellowed the general, his moustache bristling.
Havers had several images flash through his mind: holding the Captain’s hand, talking to him tenderly and calling him James; yelling angrily at a room full of officers some of whom outranked him and inferring that some of them purposely stayed safely away from the front lines; and failing to return to camp last night.

Summary
“I’m married,” he says.
The reaction is instantaneous. Everybody turns to look at him. The expressions range from confused to shocked to straight up disbelief. He does his best not to shrink down into his seat.
“...To a woman?” Julian chances, being the first to speak.
Captain James Hutchins (The Captain to his co-workers) has been working at Button House PLC for a year. The job is... well, it's okay. However, the office does not know about his husband, who has just been re-stationed for six months. When his co-workers find out about his husband Anthony's existence, they become curious.
The Captain is about to have lots of questions to answer.

Summary
Captain James William had a problem. Right now, had just revealed his innermost secrets (except one, but really everyone could infer this just by common sense), revealed his death, revealed everything about him and left him bare. And when everything just continued on as if nothing had happened.
However, the Captain really couldn’t care right now. He knows that everyone already knew how he died, and he was accepted by Fanny, someone whose opinion mattered greatly to him. She stuck with him to and fro, and was definitely a great companion to be with when dead. He never loved her in the romantic sense, no, maybe it was something to do with… actually, he just didn’t know. But now, he just didn’t care.
No, no—the problem was that someone had come to Button House, and this person brought on a less living, more special (to Captain James) someone.
OR
Some people reenacting World War II accidentally showed up at the wrong house. Unbeknownst to them, they brought someone special along to Button House with them.

Summary
There was a pause before the sound of angry footsteps approached them. Fanny stuck her head through the doorway. “Augh! And who are you supposed to be??”
“Wha-? What do you mean?” Alison said with a confused smile.
“Stop stuttering! Who are you?? Why are you in my house??”
“Who am I? I’m Alison.” Fanny still looked confused so she added, “Cooper? I’ve lived here for years?”
“Oh, no, you have not! I would’ve surely noticed if improper vagrants such as yourselves lived here! I– Oh… you’re two more of George’s lovers. I see how it is. Well, let me just say that I’ve found out your dirty little secret and I will be making sure you’re all punished to the full extent of the law!!”
Mike shot up from his seat, eyes wide, what was happening finally setting in. “I can see you!”
“Well, of course you can see me! And stop pointing, it’s rude! I– eugh– I don’t have time for this! George! You better be saying your prayers because when I find you I’m going to–”
She stormed away and Mike and Alison turned to each other with horrified expressions.

Summary
“Oh Alison, I do love your sense of humour! I’m talking about the party, of course!” Thomas beamed.
Narrowing her eyes at the man’s slightly mocking tone, Alison just shook her head in annoyed confusion.
“What party?”
“My party” he smiled, gesturing with his hands and raising his eyebrows as if to help prompt her recognition.
Instead, Alison blankly stared at the exhilarated man and shook her head in growing frustration.
“What? A party? I have no idea what you’re talking about, Thomas”
Or,
Thomas is delighted that Alison and his fellow ghosts of Button House are throwing him a birthday party.
Surely they wouldn’t have forgotten…would they?
Let the angst ensue.-

I'll Never Let Them See (The Worst of Me) by theslightlyobsessedwriter
Fandoms: Ghosts (TV 2019)

Summary
Thomas was completely fine. Utterly and totally. Yes, it was his death day. Yes, he had a lump in his throat the size of the musket ball he'd lost his life to. Yes, his heart felt like it had shattered in his chest, each piece piercing his rapidly deflating lungs. But he was fine!
Or: Thomas tries to hide how he's feeling, tired of being called the over-dramatic one; this has disastrous consequences, and the rest of the gang have to rectify their mistakes.

Is That What a Dinosaur Would Do? (You Can't Just Give Up) by Etheostoma
Fandoms: Ghosts (TV 2019)

Summary
It was hard for Alison to remember sometimes that Kitty was one of the older ghosts, at least in terms of actual time spent dead. She was so young physically, and so sweetly naive, that it was all too easy to get caught up in that facade and forget that the cheerful, friendly young woman was also a centuries-old specter who died well before her time.
Even the most optimistic soul would have to have a lifetime’s worth of regrets after all of that.
Or: Kitty and the Captain have a heart to heart, with Alison and the gang not far behind.
