    Summary

    Ghost opens his eyes to a place he doesn’t recognize. He’s outdoors, with his back against a moss-covered brick wall, crip grass underneath his palms, and green-fading autumn woods as far as he can see in front.

    His body aches more than usual; a dull throb of pain settled around where muscles and bones connect. Confusion lingers for a few moments, too uncertain of what he’s seeing to fully process the reality of it. He doesn’t remember getting here. The last thing he can bring to mind is from what he can only assume is the night before, without a scrap of information as to how he got to where he is, or why he would have been here at all.

    And even though he’s plenty used to being alone, forgotten by handlers or superiors or even his fellow guns, sometimes, this level of isolation is ominous. Even a worthless weapon like him wouldn’t have been allowed to slip this far away from the watchful eyes of his owners.

    . . .

    The series where Reader winds up taking care of the modern guns, Ghost edition. A character study with a TON of fluff, angst, and exploring Ghost's issues. Title translates to "spell/incantation/magic word".
