    Summary

    It’s a terrible idea. A really, really bad idea.

    “Okay.” Gi-hun agrees, quietly giving in. “What is the game?”

    “It’s pretty simple.” Young-il explains, satisfaction coating the words that whisper into Gi-hun’s ear. “You win if you don’t wake anyone up. I win if you do.”

    ~

    Alternatively: 001 and 456 share a bed when the heating is broken and Young-il (In-ho) has an idea of how to pass the time.

    Summary

    ON HOLD to be completed at a later date

    Player 456, the returning champion, the anomaly. In two years the man had changed a lot. He looked older, thinner, less naive. All sharp edges where he was once soft and moldable. But one thing stayed the same, he had a terrible poker face. Wore his intentions for all to see, unafraid to stand out in a crowd and scream if it meant the chance of helping someone, even these helpless creatures. That light in his eyes had dimmed, but it burned in his chest bright as ever, the foolish need that had driven him back to this place even when he was given the world on a silver platter. That was another thing about past winners, none had ever returned. They ran, took their winnings and spent their lives pretending they hadn’t done what they did.

    All except 456. And himself.

    or, a retelling of squid game season two from the perspective of the frontman

    Summary

    Rogue believes isolation is the key to controlling her mutation, but is she really as alone as she thinks?

    Excerpt:

    She started to pack up her painting supplies, singing softly under her breath.

    "Summertime...and the livin' is easy...fish are jumpin'...and the cotton is high...oh, your daddy's rich...and your momma's good lookin'...so hush little baby...don't you — holy hell!"

    She jumped, the palette falling from her hands. A man was standing amongst the trees, just... watching her.

    She blinked, at first thinking that she must be imagining things. He was so still, almost invisible among the tree trunks. Then the frozen shock gave way to a hot rush of anger. No one was supposed to be here. No one. Xavier owned the land for miles around.

    "Hey!" she called out angrily, taking a few steps forward.

    She saw his eyes widen as he stumbled a step backwards. For some reason, his startled response made her anger spike even higher.

    "Hey, you!" she yelled. And then he was... just gone, melting away into the forest as if he had never been there.
