Summary
Achilles cannot imagine what this prince from the surface might be like. Raised by Demeter! A young god with his father’s wrath and his mother’s impetuousness, fuelled by his grandmother’s calculated spite. He thinks of the swathes of dead that disembark Charon’s ferry still shivering and huddled together as though their shades could hold warmth.
Perhaps the Zagreus who has grown up with cold eternal is as icy and cruel as Demeter herself. Perhaps he will bring nothing but strife. Olympian history is full of sons overthrowing their fathers, after all.

Summary
Achilles stood up. He had been expecting the stranger since Megaera had stalked past him, elegant despite the anger and blood dripping from her.
An AU where Zagreus was raised by Demeter and ends up fighting his way through the Underworld regardless - just in the opposite direction. Guarding the entrance out is the terrifying monster Cerberus, but guarding the entrance in is Achilles, best of Greeks. And he has strict orders not to let anyone in.

Summary
Gi-hun presses the button.
It was an accident. A chance result of his random stumblings, shoe catching awkwardly in the angular little chink as Player 333 takes a heaving swing at Gi-hun’s head with the metal pole.
--
A quick little fix-it oneshot after... that.
Gi-hun lives to be with his daughter. In-ho gives them a lift home.

Summary
The morning of November 4th, 2024, Hwang In-ho, the Front Man, wakes up in a Seoul apartment he doesn't recognize, and a husband that he very much does. And then his daughter, his dead wife's child, climbs into the bed with them, alive and nine years old now and the most perfect thing In-ho has ever seen.
Despite the shock, the doubt, the confusion, In-ho finds himself very quickly falling in love with this soft life, this kinder reality where neither he nor Seong Gi-hun ever touched the Games, this world where their daughters walk to school together and Jun-ho stops by for coffee and his stepmother calls casually to ask what Gi-hun wants for his birthday.
But this Gi-hun knows his husband, and he knows something is wrong. And In-ho knows he can't stay. Not when the gears of time are still churning in another, colder reality.
Meanwhile, Hwang In-ho, private investigator, husband to goofy, good-hearted Seong Gi-hun, father to Hwang Ji-ah and stepfather to Ga-yeong, wakes up in a world of horror and blood, a world where he himself is the villain... a world where his husband hates him.
