Summary
Gi-hun’s rebellion failed. Now imprisoned, he’s nothing more than a pawn in a game he thought he could escape. The Front Man has plans for him, and he’s not content with just breaking Gi-hun physically - he wants to remake him, reshape him into a tool of the system. The pull of surrender becomes harder to resist with each passing moment, as the Front Man’s dark brand of affection worms its way under Gi-hun’s skin.
But a mysterious soldier, whose presence feels eerily familiar, watches from the shadows, unsettling Gi-hun with memories he can’t quite reach and dredging up a past that threatens to shatter what little sanity he has left.
Or:
Gi-hun is torn between the Front Man’s suffocating grip and a ghost from his past - one who may be the key to his salvation or his destruction.
Canon divergence post–Season 2.

Summary
“No, when you—when you smile like that,” Gi-hun says, shuddering. “It makes me miss him.”
“Who?” In-ho asks. He can’t help it, Gi-hun always piques his curiosity. “Jung-bae sshi? Sang-woo sshi?” He uses their real names for once. After hearing some of Gi-hun’s stories on the rare occasions he felt like sharing, In-ho can't help but use their names in place of their numbers. It makes In-ho feel like he knows them, too.
He's often thought about shooting Jung-bae with shaking hands, watching the hopelessness in his eyes as he turned to face Gi-hun. But what felt like pricks of guilt then, feels like sharp pains in his chest these days. He rolls around at night, and thinks, and feels. It’s a mystery why.
In-ho looks at Gi-hun sitting in front of him, the visceral reaction to Jung-bae’s name still strong as ever.
Is it really a mystery anymore? The influence of Seong Gi-hun and the thousand souls he carries with him is quite strong.
or: gi-hun and in-ho make it out alive, but gi-hun wants nothing to do with the latter. unfortunately, in-ho has other plans.

Summary
What if Jun-ho and the other found the island right before the fourth game was about to begin, and they set off the explosives hidden beneath the ground, with the goal to destroy this whole thing for good.
And what if all the players had been able to make it out safely except for Seong Gi-hun and Hwang In-ho.
Now dead for good, they both find themselves stuck in this weird afterlife, where they're forever stuck on The Games island. Free to roam the empty rooms, the empty halls, even the empty forest or the beaches. And though in the real world the Games were obliterated, in here the island still exists, the Games complex still exists and that's all that exist. They haunt it and it haunts them.
They're completely alone, cursed to stay here as wandering, wondering, lone souls for eternity. But eh, at least they have each other, right?
And Isn't there nothing sweeter than death for the two of them? What could ever bring you closer than sharing the same grave?- Language:
