Summary
“Why,” Gihun said, voice trembling with the effort to hold it all in. “Why did you let me live?”
Inho blinked. His smile faltered, replaced by confusion, “What are you talking about?”
“I said,” Gihun was on his feet before he even realized it, the chair screeching across the floor as he lunged across the table. “Why did you let me live?!”
Seong Gihun is in a weird place. He finds out that everyone is alive and never experienced the Games. He assumes this is the afterlife and realizes perhaps he can finally heal.
Then he meets Hwang Inho.
Problem #1: Inho's existence means this place isn't heaven. It’s real.
Problem #2: Everyone finds this Inho endearing. Even the stray cats.
Problem #3: Their friends think Inho is in love and Gihun is being stubborn, so they try to get them together. Which definitely isn’t helping.-------
Gihun is in a world where everybody lives but he believes the Inho here is still manipulative. So, he makes it a personal mission to be nice to everybody...
...Except Inho.

Summary
In-ho bends over Gi-hun, dismayed with his revenge intentions and conflicting feelings. In-ho gives him the most understanding and gentle look of Young-il, which hasn't worked for a long time. It's just a matter of habit.
“Gi-hun, let's switch teams,” he suggests cautiously. “You're not a murderer at all, I'm afraid you might... lose.”
Gi-hun frowns and looks away to hide from Young-il’s pleading, almost begging eyes. He's not ready to give in.
“I can handle it,” his tone is sharp and unambiguous, leaving no room for argument. In-ho looks him up and down and nods, admitting defeat.
“If you're sure, then fine,” he says. “Let's stick together, I'll help you with your opponent, and you protect me.”
An AU which explores a possible development of the events of s3, if In-ho decides to stay after Gi-hun's revolt. In other words, In-ho and Gi-hun play hide and seek together.

Summary
What if In-ho told the guards about the rebellion, but he wasn’t careful enough and Gi-hun got injured?
In-ho must take care of Gi-hun because of his own mistakes, while he struggles with emotions that he thought he’d lost years ago- when the love of his life died. Gi-hun juggles his care for Young-il and his drive to save everyone in the games.
The story leaves mostly open-ended with unresolved conflicts, so please keep that in mind before you start reading!
Also there will be spoilers for practically the whole show except the end of the last episode!!!

Summary
He never shuts up. He never had. “With a genius like you, we’ll surely win against all the other teams. We’ve always been the best duo!”
We’re sure to win, he says, smoothly rubbing his palm against the sleeve of your jacket like he’d die if he wasn’t touching you. Like he needed you. He gives you faith. He gives you despair. He makes you want to live, but more so, he makes you want to die. You’re practically dead, anyway.Sang-woo and Gi-hun had chosen each other throughout their early years. Time and time again, they were inseparable, until suddenly they weren't.
Now, as the end nears, they choose each other one final time.
Or—Sang-woo and Gi-hun team up for marbles.
