The ideal Ghosts Ending Montage.
If all the ghosts get sucked off in the final episode, I want a super sweet glimpse of how they're all getting on in the after-afterlife, cut between images of Alison and Mike raising their family.
- We see Julian at a party seemingly back to his old ways, drinking and living it up, but then his daughter appears and he leaves it to be with her (time is irrelevant here so this happens after Rachel has died years later). Yes, he now has trousers.
- We see Thomas reading his poetry to a crowd of adoring fans who are hanging off his every word. He catches the eye of one particular person; Isabel Higham.
- We see Pat catching up with his son and going on a family camping trip. He has an unlimited supply of tea and biscuits.
- We see Kitty reunited with Eleanor who tearfully begs for her forgiveness but Kitty is just thrilled to play with her again.
- We see Fanny doing a true Lady Godiva, riding her horse Montague across a field, naked, hair unbound hair flowing behind her as Dante and her other pets follow.
- Robin is reunited with his tribe, his sister, his thirty children all hanging off him. He spots two figures waving at him and we see Annie and Mary together, hand in hand.
- Humphrey is just...whole again. He's just running around being a happy little guy whose head is no longer falling off. Maybe Sophie is watching and laughing with him.
- The most emotional shot; Captain being reunited with Havers, true Titanic-ending style, kissing him as their old troop breaks into applause.
- We go back to Button House in time to see Alison on her death bed, an old grandmother, surrounded by family and friends with Mike holding her hand. She slips away, camera zooms in on her face as she's bathed in heavenly light, transporting her. She opens her eyes and grins; "Hi guys...Thanks for waiting."
Bonus
After-credits scene shows the Plague Ghosts still in the basement. But they're fine, as usual.

Living With Ghosts
Fandom: BBC Ghost Pairing: Ghosts & Male!Reader Summary: Meet the new resident of Button House, Alison's brother: (Y/n). Word Count: 1,431
Tumblr media
It's not the first time that the ghost saw Alison prepare the whole maniacally, but it surely was a rare sight to see Mike also faffing around the house. Alison hadn't been able to talk to them for the past two days, so they had no idea what was happening.
"Perhaps another wedding!" Kitty suggested, tightening herself and swaying at the thought of another wedding happening, "Oh, I do love weddings!"
"Nah," Julian dismisses loudly from his armchair, "They would have set it up by now, I'm hoping they're hosting some se-"
"She would never stoop to that level!" Fanny proclaimed, interrupting at the right time, Julian rolled his eyes - not even trying to argue back.
The group started to brainstorm as to why Alison was acting in this way, they were so caught up in their thinking that they completely missed out on the car that was parked outside. But, they managed to catch Alison running through the room to answer the door. The ghost all shared a look before running to catch up with her, to see who was on the other side.
"Hey!" Alison excitedly greeted, engulfing the newcomer in a hug,
"Who is this man!" Thomas gasped, his hand on his chest as he work a surprised look, "Though, I do admit he is a fine gentleman."
"You can say that again," The captain mumbled, causing him to shrink at the looks of his fellow ghost, he cleared his throat, "Alison, who is this man?"
But, she ignored them as she pulls out of the hug. She looks at you, examining you as she playfully messes up your hair.
"God, I've missed you (Y/n), come in! Mike has tea ready for us."
"Oh good," You softly say, the ghosts were taken aback by your voice. It was like a low rumble, but it was gentle, "I'm starving."
Alison ushered you along before giving the ghost a pointed look, the ghosts ignored her look and followed her along, asking questions about you and how she knows you.
"Just through there, I'll be in there in a minute," Alison says before closing the door and sharply turning to the ghosts. She lowers her voice so you couldn't hear her behind the door, "Guys, what is it?"
All at once the ghost starts their questions before Alison gives them a pointed look, they shut up, glancing at each other before one of them musters up the courage to ask her questions.
"Who is that?" Pat finally says as Alison sighs then smile, "You're awfully close to him."
"That's my brother (Y/n), he'll be living in the button house."
"Why?" Robin asked as Alison looked like she was at her wit's end, she looks over to the rest of the ghosts, who were just as annoyed that there will be another habitant.
"Look, I'll tell you later, just don't-"
Alison comes into the kitchen to see you and Mike conversing. The ghost all followed her in, watching you. They all seem to have the same plan to see if you were worth living in the same space as them - despite not seeing them.
Dinner went well, Alison had opened a bottle for your arrival and it was lovely to see her again. You missed your sister as you decided to move out of the country to start your business, you had made enough money that you could return home and continue your business out of the country. Alison begged you to stay in the Button House, as it was big enough to have two growing families. With your money, you and Alison had come up with a plan to renovate the whole place as you would do anything to make her happy.
You knew that Alison inherited the house as you were also informed about it, but as you were out of the country, you couldn't take the house. You were thrilled to hear that Alison took it up. She would update you on her life through messages, calls and emails. After a while, you started sending her money to fix up the place, but she would always return the money.
"Ali, you're my only family," You poked her, as she rolls her eyes, "I'm glad you can get to renovate it to your heart's content."
"He's rich?" Fanny proclaimed, before stomping towards Alison, "You're renovating the house?"
"Well, it's your money, but, I want your input. It's just as important as ours, seeing you're living here too!" Alison hummed, as Mike gives her a look, "What?"
"You'll have to get the ghosts' input as well," Mike reminded her as she smacks his arm, "Ow!"
"Ghosts?"
Alison sighed as if she had been defeated as she turns to look over to you, as you raised your eyebrow in amusement. She looked around the kitchen, looking at the ghost around her.
"It's an old house and would you believe me that I could see them?" Alison says as you silently look at her, "I know, I might sound insane, but there are ghosts that live here as well, and they all have their own rooms."
You looked at her silently, she was fearing your answer - if you had one. But, the ghosts looked at each other, and all wanted to crowd around you as if you could even feel their presence.
"Well," You cleared your throat, "Could you tell the caveman to stop looking at me, he's been breathing down my neck since we started eating."
Robin almost screamed at you, before Alison almost reached across the table for answers. But, you look unphased as you drank the last of your wine, you reach out to grab the bottle but your sister grabs your wrists.
"You can see them?"
"From the moment you opened the door," You answered honestly, "And I can hear them as well, I must say, The Captain - is it? He has a lovely voice to listen to."
"Oh! Why thank you," If he could he would blush at your compliment, "You would make a rather great soldier."
You chuckled to yourself to hear him reply to you, and Mike looked at his wife and brother-in-law as if they were mental.
"And I heard every little question they had, whilst you were showing me the way to the kitchen," You continue as Alison releases you, allowing you to pour yourself another glass of wine, "I managed to catch all their names - what a funny bunch of ghosts, I might add."
She sighs before her eyebrow raised inquisitively, "How are you so calm about seeing ghosts?"
"Ali, no offence, but you're a bit dense," You joked, leaning back on the kitchen chair, "Remember that near-death experience I had when we were little? And since then, I've been telling you I could see ghosts and like interact with them-"
"I thought you were joking," Alison softly lets out a breath, before a fire started in her eyes, "That means you can talk to them as well! This is great!"
"Is it?" The ghosts all spoke in unison in confusion.
"You can talk to them and we can get all their input about the renovation, plus, you'll start to like their little quirks. I would tell you all about them, but I guess you can ask them yourself."
You nodded, clearing your throat, "Yeah, well, I'm staying for...well, forever, I guess I have all the time in the world to ask them about their lives."
Tumblr media
"He's nice," Pat concluded, the ghost was having one last meeting before retreating to bed, "I like him."
"He has lovely eyes," The captain slipped out before quickly saying, "I like his presence, I think it is smashing that we have another person to talk to."
"Well, I think I get dibs on talking to him tomorrow," Thomas announced, as the bickering started once more.
Behind the door, you stood there with a small smile on your face. You thought you were an intruder when you agreed to live with Alison and Mike, but you felt yourself relax. Knowing that you weren't an intruder if there were ghosts around.
You went off to your new room, thinking about who you wanted to talk to first - The Captain had a lovely voice but Humphrey does seem to have an interesting background, Pat reminded you of your own dad - which you have missed since his passing so you think he could happily be your first conversation of tomorrow.
You go to sleep cheerfully, knowing there were nine ghosts who were ready to get to know you.

being alison's younger sister and seeing the ghosts:
(this is a fem!reader but lmk if you want gender neutral stuff too, also this is rlly long sorry i got so carried away)
(what event that led you to die for a bit and come back alive is up to you - car crash, falling over etc)
seeing ghosts is something that you’ve always dealt with ever since the accident but you've never told anyone, in a fear of being seen as unfit or crazy, y’know? so you’ve always kept it to yourself 
and that is until you move into alison and mike’s big home after some money troubles (which you’re ever so thankful for) and as soon as you get out the car you see a group of people from different ages behind alison in the doorway
you’re trying ever so hard to ignore them when seeing alison again and her welcoming you in, but it kinda slips when you look towards thomas who has made some sort of romantic comment towards you and both alison and you look to him but alison catches you and is like ?!??!?!
“y-you can see them too?” alison asks and you really don't know what to say, there’s a silence before you just nod and you’re like “yeah. yeah i-i can, yeah” and then you explain everything to her and she tells you her story
when mike finds out you can see the ghosts too, man poor guy feels so left out and is like this is so unfair :((
a week or so pasts and now everyone knows each other and you’re all friends :D
alison is now happy and more comfortable as thomas no longer directs his comments to alison but now you, which you really don't mind at all and sometimes you’re honestly quite flattered
the captain quickly becomes one your best friends and he likes to be around you a lot as you listen to him and all his war stories and never shut him out, you enjoy his company and he really loves your company (he will never admit it though) but he feels comfortable around you
you like to go on walks around the grounds with him and just listen to him speak about whatever and such, just enjoying his company. you know he’s got a lot of feelings all bundled up inside and you catch onto his secret quickly, you let him know you’re always there for him if he needs
you always join in on the ghosts meetings or the talks they have set up for everyone - kitty always makes sure you sit next to her
kitty loves you a lot - often when doing your makeup or painting your nails you ask kitty what colour goes best and sometimes you even pretend to paint her nails or do her makeup telling her how beautiful she looks
people dont include humphrey a lot but whenever you do find his head you talk to him for a while and ask if you can do anything for him. sometimes you wish you could pick him up and carry him around, and keep him company more but you can't :( but he always appreciates when you sit with him for a bit
one night you find him on the roof and so you sit with him for a bit, looking at the stars and just telling him about your day and such
there’s one night where you are just having a horrible day feeling horrible about yourself and the way you look, and you’re sat staring into yourself in your vanity mirror. you’re a bit teary and just pulling yourself apart and thomas is suddenly in the doorway, and he’s like “if i may, have i told you how beautiful you are today, my dear y/n?”
and instead of jokingly telling him to go away, you smile at him, speaking softly “thanks thomas” he smiles back at you before walking off again.
but you quickly get out of the seat and rush to the corridor, “thomas” and he stops walking, his hands behind his back and looks at you before you walk closer to him, “i’d…i’d like to hear more from your poetry i-if you don't mind” 
you two spend the next hour or so walking, just listening to thomas speak and the other ghosts just kinda look on at you two and are like aweeee:(( (my heart)
falling in love with ghosts is really a not a good idea
that time where alison and mike host a party and you are all completely drunk out of your mind, and even the ghosts are dancing with everyone, well just beware because julian will be dancing with you - mostly behind you but perhaps you don't hate that.. : )
whenever you come home from work, everyone is always excited to see you and they each wanna tell you about their day etc
alison and mike go on holiday just for a week, as an anniversary gift from you, so you’re basically left to babysit everyone for the week
its an interesting week, robin nearly burns the house down, you all lose humphrey (both his head and body) for a few days and cant find him, pat hosts a song competition,,, and well one ghosts proclaims their love for you and somehow tries to kiss you well yeah we can all guess probably who
fanny often complains about your outfits and how short some your skirts or whatever are and she just follows you around the house and is like, “THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE! NO ONE SHOULD SEE A LADIES ANKLES!”
and your simply just trying to make a cup of tea, and alison gives you a sympathetic look as fanny is following your every move
the only ghost who doesn't mind you swearing is julian. sometimes his tory-ass will annoy you and you just give him the finger and tell him to f off, and he either laughs at you or is like “what did i do?” 
the ghosts all support you in whatever hobby you have and always end up distracting you and asking you questions about it
and basically these guys are your best friends :))
if u want a part two let me know! or any request ideas for any ghosts i am down!! <3

the captain/havers - how the captain died - fluff + angst
read on ao3
"what about you, captain? do you want to share anything this week?" pat asked. they were all sat in the main hall for their newly formed talking club, allison included. "yes, actually. i do," he said nervously after a few seconds. "i believe it's finally time to share with you all how i died." julian glanced at him with a mix of sympathy and shock. robin laughed loudly. "you death boring. you sleep, not wake up. me save us all time, who next?"
"that's not quite how i remember it, robin," the captain chuckled nervously.
"you don't have to, you know," alison reassured. "i know it can't be easy talking, especially for you."
"no, no. i'm ready."
"take your time, mate." pat patted his shoulder.
"it started when i met my lieutenant..."
———————————————
"the names havers, sir. i have been sent to help you lead this bunch of troops." havers put his hand out for his superior to shake.
"you can call me captain. i shall show you to your quarters."
"yes sir."
———————————————
"we spent a lot of time together, discussing everything from important matters and war developments to our families and homes. we were inseparable and, over time, i felt myself falling in love with this young man."
fanny let out a loud gasp that was met with a hard shove by thomas. the captain hung his head. "i know. it was disgraceful of me, but i couldn't help it. i found myself paying far too much attention to the way his dimples made him impossibly cuter whenever he smiled, the way he laughed, how easy it was to get lost in his eyes. i hid it, of course. i didn't want to get reported. but that changed on one of his nightly visits..."
———————————————
the knock on the door came later than usual, but the captain welcomed him in as normal.
"ah, william! at ease old boy!" he smiled. havers smiled back with his adorable smile and captain felt his cheeks heat up as they always did. william sat down in the chair next to him, overlooking the grounds. "captain! how are you this fine evening, sir?"
"i'm marvellous. what about you?"
"very much the same, sir." the conversation flowed as normal for hours, until havers bought up the topic of wives.
"i say, sir, i don't believe you've heard the news about old david, have you?"
"oh yes. he is to be wed, is he not?"
"he is! i don't understand the excitement, in all honesty. women have never really my area of internet." havers smirked. the captain stared at him in shock, before nodding in silent agreement. william leaned closer to his captain, daring to place a calloused hand on his rough cheek. they leaned closer again, closed their eyes and met each other's lips in a soft kiss.
———————————————
"you were in love! oh, how wonderful!" kitty exclaimed excitedly.
"yes, it was. it was invigorating and new, our little secret that no one else had to know. operation william, we named it. we met more frequently, going on walks round the grounds and longer evening visits. i even trusted him with my true name, which he never called me by. i was always his teddy. our time together always ended with a passionate kiss. and everything was perfect. until it wasn't...."
———————————————
"if i may move the topic onto a different matter?" william asked, a tone of urgency in his voice that went undetected by the lovesick captain. "of course, darling. what do you wish to discuss?"
"i- i put in a transfer request. to north africa, sir." the captain felt his heart sink in his chest. "what?" he whispered. he stood up in disbelief. he felt williams familiar hand caress his cheek. "i'm sorry, teddy. i should have told you earlier, but i didn't know how. i've been considering it for a while, but i can't sit around here, doing nothing. i need to help on the front line. it's what my father would have wanted," william explained. the captain tore his stare from the floor, coming to meet his lovers eyes. "i understand. these things can't be helped, i suppose." he found himself cut off by the pressure of william's lips against his. "i have already been accepted. i leave at 1800 hours tomorrow evening." the captain said nothing, the tears rolling down his cheeks explanation enough. they stayed there for a while, silent, foreheads pressed together, william's hands cupping his teddy's face.
-———————————————
"he left me. i know it was no fault of mine, he just wanted to honour his father. but i felt alone. i didn't sleep or eat properly again for months. he left as suddenly as he arrived. and then i received the letter..."
———————————————
"for you, captain."
he grabbed the envelope and retired back to his room. he recognised the handwriting instantly, neat and loopy. it read 'operation william.' "my william?" his breath hitched. he tore it open, reading it quickly.
my dear teddy,
if you are reading this, i am dead. i intended to greet you again after the war, embrace you. perhaps we could have run away together, to the country. we would have lived happily, blissfully in love forevermore. but now i am gone, and that will never happen. i want you to know that i was well and truly in love with you. almost embarrassingly so. you were my teddy, and the thought of you was the only thing that got me through the harsh trenches. i missed your soft lips, the way your hands gripped my waist roughly but never hard enough to hurt me. i missed you. i know that your heart will ache at this news, but i want you to go on without me as you have bravely done already. i love you so, teddy.
my whole heart,
your william.
———————————————
he broke down in sobs, remembering the heartache he felt that night. "i couldn't bear the pain. the thought that i would never get to see my darling william again, it was too much. so i poured myself a glass of whiskey, william's favourite, and added a few drops of arsenic. i went to bed that night and woke up the next morning a ghost." the room was silent, apart from the captains intermittent sobs. "we never knew." thomas spoke finally. "we all thought you had a heart attack in your sleep or something. we didn't know you did... that."
"it was a cowardly death. i shouldn't have let my feelings control me so, but i did." a voice - humphrey's - arose from the table. "i think it's beautiful. you loved him so much. love is nothing to be ashamed of, captain. i would salute you if i could." the rest of the ghosts and allison raised their hands to their foreheads. "thank you." the captain said. as they all left, kitty walked over to him. "i would love to hear some more stories of your william some time." she smiled, leaving captain smiling, too. he would love to tell them.

Can we talk about this wonderful scene in S3E5 of 'Ghosts', please? SPOILERS FOR SERIES THREE!
Because it's such a poignant scene that shows how supportive Alison and the ghosts are towards the Captain and his sexuality.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alison mentions that talking about things is a good way of learning to accept things, and she is supporting Kitty and the rest of the ghosts in accepting parts of themselves that they haven't really spoken about before.
And this scene shows that Alison is aware of the Captain's sexuality, but has never pried before because she respects his boundaries.
The Captain's face when she asks him if there is anything he'd like to share is so important.
Alison's expression as she tries to silently encourage him that it's okay to talk to her about it makes my heart happy. She's so supportive in her smile.
Tumblr media
And you can tell in Cap's expression and response that he appreciates that. He looks around the room and sees his friends all giving him the same supportive looks, and he wants to say but he finds himself unable to.
Tumblr media
He's afraid.
Let's break down each of the ghosts' facial expressions towards Alison prying at the Captain.
Fanny has the same expression as she did with Alison asking Kitty. She knows. She's closest to the Captain out of all the ghosts, so she must suspect that he's not entirely heterosexual. She spends the most time with him. But her expression reads as though she knows it's a very personal subject to the Captain, and she's afraid of his reaction.
She cares about him and she doesn't want him to get upset, or feel pressured.
Tumblr media
Robin, as always looks confused. But his attention is still solely on the Captain. He's just watching and listening with contentment.
Tumblr media
Pat, though is an interesting one. Pat is usually the ghost that would be asking about these sorts of things, but he knows not to cross boundaries and he completely respects the Captain's (or 'Cap', as he affectionately calls him) boundaries. He knows Cap is uncomfortable and you can see he wants to intervene and say something to change the subject but he ... doesn't. Because he wants him to say it.
And after Cap dismisses the opportunity, you can see how disappointed he is that he didn't take it.
Tumblr media
But there's something more there. He's smiling. He's still so supportive of Cap. He always is. But I think he's also smiling because he wants to be the one that speaks to the Captain about it. He is low-key pleased that Alison didn't succeed.
And then there's Julian, who was - like Robin - listening in a content manner. He doesn't make any quick quips, as he normally would, but instead stays silent.
It isn't until the Captain passes over to Thomas that he rolls his eyes, because he's fed up of hearing his dramatics.
Tumblr media
But all of the ghosts were so supportive of the Captain and I love it.
Hopefully, one day, he will feel more confident and be able to talk about it. I know he was about to before he was interrupted, but I do really hope that he finds himself able to admit it.
And I hope this leads to a further admission from Pat that he's hopelessly in love with Cap.

Ghosts taking care of you when you have a cold
Tumblr media
platonic Ghosts x alive!reader
Requested by anon: Hello! How are you? Please could I get a general ghosts x reader where she feels horrid, loke a cold (I feel like shit) and the ghosts just bug Alison to get stuff for you (even Fanny and Julian are concerned) ❤
Hello! Sorry for the delay, I hope you feel better soon, dear anon! Hope you like it ♥
Another pit of coughing made your lungs and throat hurt. You took a tissue to clean your nose and a hoarse whine of pain escaped you. You felt like shit, not only from the sudden cold, but also because it ruined your plans to hang out with your dear friends Alison and Mike. Just after you arrived at the Button’s house and Alison invited you to the kitchen, you felt a chill run down your spine. She told you it’s because of the ‘ghosts’ and you both laughed at that (although you’ve noticed her strange look somewhere behind your back).
But now all your reassurance about ‘just being tired’ crumbled like a house of cards. You were lying in Alison’s guest room bed and with a fever and a terrible cough. Even though you were left alone for a few hours, as Alison went to deal with some things about their business and Mike went to the nearest shop for medications, you never felt truly alone. Maybe there were ghosts, after all? No, you’re just starting to lose your mind. Ghosts are not real.
With those thoughts tiredness finally overpowered you and you fell asleep. not having a clue about all of the long-dead members of the house fussing around you.
***
“Poor thing...” mumbled Pat, looking with pity at your small form, curled into the fetal position under the thick blanket.
“We need to call Alison, this is irresponsible to leave this poor child to suffer like this alone!”
Discordant choir of voices agreed with Lady Button’s suggestion.
Julian and Robb went to the phone and all of the others followed the two discussing all of the things you needed to feel better.
***
When you woke up you still felt terrible and your throat felt dry and your head was pounding. You checked your phone, it was well past 10 pm. You sighed and reached out a hand to pull down the blanket, but the door to your room opened swiftly. You jumped a little, startled. The bright light from the corridor blinded you and you hoarse an uncertain “Alison?”
When a pair of cool hands cupped your face you let out a sigh.
“Yes, love, it’s me. You have a fever, you need to lay down. How do you feel?”
“Like shit…”
She chuckled. “Yeah, figured.”
Finally your vision focused on her concerned face. Her eyes flickered to the end of your bed and she nodded.
“Yeah, listen, you need to eat something. How about chicken soup? And a tea, hmm?”
***
“Chicken soup will do nothing, Alison, don’t be ridiculous. You need to rubdown their body with vodka and ground pepper. I remember Mayor Jameson, who had quite a strong pair of hands by the way, was fighting…”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Hon, you need to eat something to gather your strength.”
“Do they look like they’re fighting hypothermia?” Julian scoffed. “If we’re talking about vodka it’s better be taking inside of the body, not wasted on some stupid…”
You thought about it for a moment, not noticing your friend’s face. If you weren’t sick, you would see her gaze flickering from one spot of the room to another.
“Yeah, okay.”
She smiled at you. “Great then! You just lay here, I will be back in a few minutes with tea and pills, and then Mike will bring you soup.”
You nodded and sent her a grateful but tired smile.
“You’re an angel, Ali.”
She waved her hand dismissively.
“Please. Rest, love.”
When she was about to step out of the room you heard her whispering “No, I won’t perform an exorsism on them, Mary, what even…” and she closed the door.
You were so confused that even your headache felt less painful for a moment.
“What the hell?” You mumbled to yourself, but were cut off by another pit of cough.
***
Meanwhile in the kitchen there was chaos. All of the ghosts bombarded poor Alison with suggestions of their time and preference on how to fight your sickness.
“I’m telling you, vodka is the best option. They will be on their feet in an instance.” — Captain.
“Yeah, or will die of intoxication, genius. I’m telling you it’s...” — Julian.
“Cake! Ohh I would love to eat a cake, papa would give me a big slice when I was ill.” — Kitty.
“You all wrong, they need meat.” — Robin.
“Why don’t you even consider the idea of poetry? The power of a good poem is one of the best medicines in the world, it heals the very soul…” — Thomas.
“Or maybe give them real medicine?” — Pat.
Silens. Alison sighed, feeling a headache creeping slowly. On the other hand, she was grateful that Y/n didn’t hear them all, it definitely would not help them.
“Guys, thank you all for your suggestions, but I stick with Pat. But you can watch over them and tell me about their current condition.”
After a few days you were feeling much better and started to pack your things to finally go home. You were grateful for Alison’s care, even though at some point you started to suspect she had some sort of supernatural abilities. When you ran out of tissues, she was there within a minute. When your throat felt dry, not 5 minutes later she’d brought you water. But you didn’t question it much, she did more than you could ask.
And Alison didn’t know how to tell you that there were a bunch of very caring and concerned ghosts that were looking after you the whole time. Maybe one day you’ll know, but for now it’s best to keep it secret. At least until you’ll feel better.

Imagine checking Fanny out when you come to see your old friend Alison
Fanny x f!reader
Tumblr media
The Ghosts were all congregated near the door when the doorbell rang. Alison came running down the stairs, straightening her shirt. "Fair Alison, who may that be?" Thomas asked in confusion. "My old friend, Y/N, she can see you as well so all of you need to behave". "A she" Julian mumbled " Is she fit?". Alison nodded absent-mindedly. "Yeah she's hot we dated in school". Everyone watched as the doors opened to reveal a tall woman with long h/c hair that swayed lightly when she walked. Her eyes were shining as she pulled the shorter women into a tight hug. "Alison, my love it has been so long". Her accent was slightly French and she pulled back to survey the group in front of her. "Ally you didn't tell me that you had guests". "Ghosts, Y/N, they're Ghosts". Her smile grew even more. "Well Ally why don't you introduce me". "Y/N this is Julian-". A wave and a wink. "Pat, Mary, Robin, Kitty, Thomas, Humphrey's head is somewhere around here and the Captain". The girl looked at the military man with unfounded softness. "You fought in the war?". He looked at her startled. "Yes Miss". Her smile softened even more. "I commend you for your bravery sir". He stood a little straighter". "It was an honour Miss". The lady turned to look at her friend again. "Ally ,darling, I thought you said there was 9 of them, are we missing one or can you still not count babes". Both of their laughter mingled. "We're only missing-". Alison was cut off by an angry shout. "What is this racket". The woman on the stairs immediately attracted Y/N's attention and her eyes flickered up to the descending figure. "Who is that?" She murmured softly. "That is Lady B " Alison whispered in her ear. Her eyes caught on the beautiful woman in front of you. "Lady Button". Her voice was breathy and soft. Your smile turned rather quickly into a sweet smirk. "She's beautiful, absolutely gorgeous". She straightened her black trousers and the cuffs of her shirt. Alison's eyes twinkled. "I thought you would like her-" her voice rose "Fanny this is Y/N one of my old school friends". That was when their eyes connected. "It is wonderful to meet such a gorgeous woman such as yourself, cara". Her eyes very obviously looked her up and down. "Well it is lovely to meet you to" the Grey Lady said with a genuine smile "I think we will get along fine". The two of them stayed looking at the other. "Why don't I get the fit ones" Julian whisper shouted from across the room.
