Ghost Series Masterlist
Hello! I'm TFH, and I write serial and standalone reader-driven Ghost fics because they're basically my only coping mechanism in the face of *gestures broadly.*
Here all of the Emeritus siblings are alive and apparently heard the story about Nihil fumbling the baddie and decided 'nope, couldn't be me.' Here there are marriages and babies and Satanists going full Gomez and so much amore you'll get disgusted with me. Also a lot of humor and sitcom antics and general family mayhem.
If that sounds like your cup of dark sacramental wine, please join me at the Ministry! I always welcome comments, chatting, requests, and general interaction. :D
NO BETA WE DIE LIKE THE BOX
Synopsis: Reader-driven series centered around the Eastern US Ministry campus in Massachusetts and New England/New York as a whole. We begin with the man who will become Papa V Perpetua cloistered as a monk, find Primo his perfect bratty match in a nearby town, and watch as Copia helps a local woman blossom into her role as ghoul advocate. Terzo and Secondo are coming next! All stories can be read alone or as part of the larger plot.
First Installment: What I Need to Believe
Main relationship: Papa V Perpetua x Reader
Summary: The last ten years have been nothing but trauma, and after fighting the good fight, you decide to retreat from the fray and build a peaceful life for yourself in a small town. All you want is to enjoy the natural beauty of the New York countryside, to practice your faith and work on your art... until a chance encounter with a masked monk sends you both on a quest to find your true home.

Second Installment: Life Was Breathing Its Second Day
Main relationship: Papa Emeritus I x Reader
Summary: You've lived your entire life in the shadow of the Satanic Ministry's New England campus -- the cathedral in the woods where the damned gather to worship their Dark God. Still, you've never had a strong opinion about it one way or the other, until a scourge from your family's past threatens you and one of the Clergy members comes to your defense. Primo Emeritus has devoted his life to the worship of Lucifer, he wears more makeup than you do, and he's old enough to be your grandfather -- but the more you get to know him, the more you realize that this may be a match made in Hell.

Summary: You’re a young professional trying to build a life for yourself after spending too long under your mother’s wing — and he’s a Satanist doing the exact same thing. An accident at the animal shelter where you work puts you in contact with Frater Imperator, a man who can hardly frighten you when you see so much of yourself in him. But how will your small town react when one of its most innocent inhabitants starts hanging around with the leader of the Satanic Ministry?

Fourth Installment/Interlude: Your Love Will Be Born Again
Main relationship: Papa V Perpetua x Reader
Summary: After his first tour ends, the masked man who's stolen your heart joins you back in the place where it all began. The plan is to spend a month in the little cottage by the creek before winter drives you back to the Ministry... but you and Perpetua have been talking about starting a family, and it's only six short months until the ritual steals him away from you again. Is it literally time to get busy?

Summary: Not all Satanists worship in the open or walk the world's busy urban streets. You're a sixth-generation Devil-worshipper from the heart of Nebraska, a woman who grew up just as sheltered as the neighboring fundamentalist Christian girls -- just for entirely different reasons. Attempting to honor one of your mother's final wishes, you take the veil as a Sister of Sin, and you're sorely tempted to give it up mere hours later -- until you cross paths with Frater Imperator. A man who's never set eyes on you in person, but who's already serenaded crowds with your name in his heart.

Standalone story: Now We Pirouette In Fields of Rosy Sin
Main relationship: Frater Imperator x Reader (same Reader #3 from Right Back to the Bearer of Light)
Summary: In a world where humans have no hope of competing on an even economic playing field with immortals, they've still got one resource they can leverage -- their living blood. You're a sweet girl, just trying to get by in a world full of monsters, when a rather awkward vampire seeks shelter from the rain inside the human-geared pet store where you work. Maybe it's the way you smell, or maybe it's the way he courts you like he's terrified you're going to skip town -- but a few days later, you find yourself the kept human pet of one Copia Emeritus, head of the Satanic Ministry. There's just one little problem... you're scared to be bitten.
