Have you ever heard of the Butterfly Effect, hyung? by 0ostranenie3
Fandoms: Squid Game (TV 2021)

Summary
“We can team up,” proposed Dae-ho, with a sudden strike of bravery and a plan being formed in his head. Min-su looked up at him, desperate and surprised, “give me your knife, we can look after each other and I’ll… hurt someone for you to kill.”
Player 125’s eyes studied the man, noticing the strong build and the shiny cross necklace twisting with the game’s key.“Give me your knife.”
or
Dae-ho is the one who finds the cross necklace during hide and seek and allies with Min-su, not dying in that game. A single difference in player 388's route changes it all.

Summary
As best friends, it was only expected that Dae-ho would go along with whichever new detective escapades Jun-ho conjured up for them. After all, what are friends for? Navigating hospital visits, angry fathers and well meaning classmates however? Well, Dae-ho was a little less prepared for that.
Companion piece to Classroom Detective, set during Jun-ho's hospitalisation, and a step into Dae-ho's world.

Summary
Daeho had no clue whether to be relieved or terrified at the somewhat safe return of Gihun and Jungbae. On the one hand, they were like the fathers he wished his had been, and would’ve been devastated at their demise because of him. The problem occurred the second Yongsik opened his mouth. Daeho felt the his heart drop and the room suddenly felt tighter.
God fucking damnit.
Aka: what if the fourth game hadnt been hide and seek, but chess as predicted. What will happen if Daeho has to step out the shell he built to protect his friends? How does Namgyu tie into this?
Jungbae is still alive, and they blame Daheo for the death of Youngil mainly.

Summary
Bakery au!!!! Trans Dae-ho included in your purchase of bread rolls.
I had to remove a lot of tags so it fit, but there will be appropriate tws and cws!
“I never rode a motorcycle
I never smoked a cigarette
I wanna live a vibrant life
But I wanna die a boring death
I know I was a disappointment
Know you wanted me to take a risk
Not everybody gets the chance to live
A life that isn't dangerous
You called me a crybaby”Series

Summary
He wonders why Nam-gyu hasn't stabbed him yet. “Do you need help?”
Context aside, just the way Nam-gyu looks makes him hardly trustworthy. There's blood splashed all over his face, his clothes, his knife; [...] Still, he hasn't stabbed Dae-ho so far. “I guess so.”
The answer seems to be enough for Nam-gyu. “C'mon, then, Dae-ho. I'll lead the way.”
. . .
Nam-gyu finds Dae-ho during Hide & Seek.

Summary
A 'what if' au about if Dae-ho was in the Thanos squad instead (apologies if it's already been done) how I believe the games would play out and what would happen with the rebellion. Would have a happier ending as well bc I'm still not recovered from season 3.. I might potentially add relationships but the main character focus would be on Dae-ho, occasionally other characters as well since I would switch some characters and their groups/relationships around. (Also posted on my Tumblr @ iluvdaeho)

Summary
Dae-ho knows this is a bad decision. There is no reasonable excuse for him to be acting like this over his best friend’s ex. It’s stupid. It’s selfish. It’s beyond trying to defend. Even while drunk, he knows this.
And yet, behind those half-lidded eyes, Myung-gi is looking at him with a burning smoulder, one so intense that he can feel on his skin as his gaze traces his face. There’s an alluring curiosity – a challenge, Dae-ho realises – in the way Myung-gi leans forward, magnetised, in active temptation, the fingers of his other hand experimentally coming to ghost against the open skin of Dae-ho’s forearm.
His hand wordlessly finds Myung-gi’s cheek. Myung-gi’s eyes don’t move from his face, captivated. Simply watching, waiting. Waiting, for him to crack and be the one to cross the line.
Myung-gi – stubborn, deterministic, impatient Myung-gi – is waiting for him.
Fuck it.
___
OR: Second-year physical education student Dae-ho encounters Myung-gi, finance major and his best friend's ex-boyfriend, in a bar. One thing leads to another.

Summary
There were fresh gunshots still left on the walls like a reminder. He averted his eyes.
The world felt hollow. Distant.
He tried not to think about Jung-bae. About his voice. About his hand on Dae-ho’s shoulder just that morning, steady and warm.
“You're braver than you think.”
He wasn’t.
He passed a trail of bloody footprints, one of them smeared sideways like someone had been dragged. He kept walking.
His chest felt too tight. Like he couldn’t get enough air.
And then he saw the door to the bathroom.
It was cracked open, light spilling out in a narrow beam across the floor.
Dae-ho reached for the handle and slipped inside.
The fluorescent lights buzzed faintly overhead. The sinks were cracked, one or two running with a slow, steady drip. The mirrors were smeared with grime and handprints, most of them too low to belong to anyone still standing.
He just wanted to sit. To breathe. To be invisible, even if only for a minute.
But when he stepped around the corner, toward the back sinks, he froze.
There was someone already there.
or
What if Dae-ho wasn't totally alone after the riot?
(im so sorry if someone already did this)-

Summary
Daeho gets invited to a mixed-gender joint sleepover from Hyunju, who got invited by Junhee, who got invited by Myunggi, who got invited by Minsu... you get the point.
At the sleepover, Daeho sees one person - Myunggi, someone who usually acted very cold towards him in school for no particular reason - who attempts to make a move when they are caught in an unexpected predicament.
Their relationship is sort of... on-and-off. Hot-and-cold. Diurnal.

Summary
Dae-ho's military training was not easy. Besides, he had no idea that he couldn't trust a fellow soldier who had just been bullied because of his weight. Sometimes best friends turn into traitors. Sometimes best friends die because of traitors. Life is unexpected. It was unexpected when he got into the games and it is still unexpected now, when he is finally free with his friends. But the world is too scary... Too... unexpected?
This story tells his past and his future, things we didn't get to see so far. Maybe I will only finish this fanfiction when season 3 comes out, but as of right now, this story will hold yet unrevealed secrets.
