Fics like Hope To Die

Charles, a young painter on the run from a hard life and bad memories, takes a job as caretaker of a centuries-old mansion in Scotland. It's beautiful country and comes with lodging included - a gig too good to pass up, and exactly the fresh start he's been looking for. Nobody's lived in the big house for almost a hundred years, he soon finds out, and new staff doesn't tend to last long, either. The locals say the place is haunted, whispering stories about the mysterious young heir who died tragically there nearly a century ago. His portrait hangs in the manor's front hall, extravagant and imposing and eerily untouched by time. But Charles has no intention of being run off his lucky find by spooky stories or drifting shadows - all he wants is peace and stability, and a little time to paint. The question is, what does the ghost want?
