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
Meet ; Yuta Hasegawa. A guy with attitude, fashion, and a love for all the people in the world with a good heart. Being a C-List celebrity does come with some perks. The money he invested tended to always come back to him in a greater amount somehow and he was ALL about charity. When an opportunity knocked to win a large sum of money he could donate to different charities just by playing some games, he knew he had to answer it's call. However, the games turn out to be something a lot more sinister. Along the way, a man comes along and catches Yuta's eye. Sure he's a couple years older than him, but every hot celebrity has to have their eyebrow raising boyfriend, don't they? There's only one issue... there's something really suspicious about him. Yuta's bound to prove this all to himself, but along the way, his emotions swiftly start getting in the way. Little does he know, someone else's emotions are getting in the way of their own plans as well.

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.

One lonely man reaches out to another, and the other falls for him hook, line and sinker.
[What if after the failed uprising, Nam-gyu teamed with Dae-ho?]

Summary
Daeho is alone. Everyone left him, after they saw what he truly is, a pathetic coward. Then, why the hell is this guy trying to talk to him? Is he there to mock him? He seems genuine, maybe not. He wants a alliance and his name is Nam-gyu? Maybe, life doesn't hate him so much.
or..
Nam-gyu and Dae-ho team up before Hide and Seek.

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
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.

Self-Hatred is Simply Another Form of Narcissism by dearest_dddouchebag

Summary
Maybe the gods favored him in this exact moment, because in a distant universe, his pleas would've gotten nowhere. Another version of his vengeful father would've sat atop him, hatred radiating from his entire persona as Gihun's bristly hands imprinted on Daeho's throat. Leaving him a pale, oxygen-deprived corpse.
Wearing a red penny, he wandered the arena with a druggie prancing about nearby, knife in hand. He couldn't help but tremble an ounce when wielding the weapon to someone's demise. Plus the additional stress factor of searching for Jun-hee whilst avoiding Gihun had caused beads on sweat to form on his forehead and clammy hands to boot. Maybe...maybe a single pill wouldn't hurt?
-Simply put what if Daeho was a seeker? What if Gihun's hallucinations manifested a little sooner? What if Junhee's pregnancy had been a tad bit more stressing? And what if Namgyu interacted with Daeho?

Summary
He was about to ask Nam-gyu where his dorm was when he was distracted by cold hands pulling at his collar roughly. The shorter man pressed his face into his shoulder, breathing in Dae-ho before tilting his head up to whisper in his ear.
// or, Dae-ho takes a drunk Nam-gyu home from a party and they start becoming friends, Thanos gets jealous, shit ensues

Summary
"Стой!"
Ки-хун почувствовал, как что-то тяжелое навалилось на его плечи, когда он бросился к упавшему Дэ-хо, намереваясь ударить его по лицу. Не отпуская Дэ-хо, он пытался сбросить с себя человека, который его удерживал. Его держали крепко, но ему было все равно — кто бы это ни был, друг или враг, ему нужен был Дэ-хо, а не...
"Ки-хун!"
Слышится голос прямо у его уха. Очень знакомый голос...

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.

Have you ever heard of the Butterfly Effect, hyung? by 0ostranenie3

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.
