Summary
Thanos has escaped the games alive, but way too soon. The money that he's won doesn't even cover half of his debt. So he makes a plan: Use the money to instead fix Nam-gyu's life. Dig Nam-gyu of his hole. And then end it all.
(And try not to fall in love while he's at it.)

Summary
"He accidentally lets his eyes wander down the man's body, and finds that he is dressed like he actually fits the tax bracket that this coffee shop caters to. It quickly becomes very important to Gi-hun that handsome stranger does not see Gi-hun as the pathetic loser that he actually is. 'I left my wallet at home, and I picked the wrong day to take public transportation,' he laughs, trying to sound convincing. Handsome stranger just smiles, and he does it in such a way that Gi-hun can’t tell whether or not he knows that he is talking out of his ass."
//
Gi-hun is a broke cab driver who is struggling to climb his way out of debt when he meets In-ho, a handsome detective from the rich part of town who pays for his coffee. Enamored, Gi-hun wants to keep spending time with him, but he really doesn't want him to find out just how much he's drowning in debt. This leads to issues.

Summary
“Live your life, 456. Do something with it. Move on.”
Gi-hun, who had not spoken all night, broke his silence. “Please,” he mumbled. “Kill me.”
And, oh, how badly did In-ho wish that he had it in him to honor that request.

In-ho can't help but spy on Gi-hun after he lets him go. He makes it a habit to watch him once a week at the same bar. But when he slips up, and Gi-hun sees him, he's forced to bring Young-il back to life. Chaos ensues.

Summary
When Gi-hun discovers that Young-il is actually In-ho, he's left in a catatonic state of depression. Jun-ho is left to take care of him.

I love the idea that Jun-ho loves Gi-hun like a brother. Part of a series but can be read as stand alone.

Summary
Gi-hun kisses the top of In-ho’s hair. “I want to take you to bed.” he says, softly.
The admission makes In-ho feel dizzy with desire. “Wh…what?”
Slight panic fills Gi-hun’s eyes and he pulls away a little. “Unless you don’t want to.”
He knows that he should say no. He should take the out that Gi-hun is giving him. Kissing has gone far enough.
But something about Gi-hun just makes him act stupid.
“I want to. Of course I want to.” How could he not? How could Gi-hun ever think that he wouldn’t want to?
xxx
The missing smut scene from chapter seven of "Is it over now?"--but can be read as stand alone as well.

Summary
"His more concise thought is this: every once in a while he gets an itch, a desire to take control and wreck the man he loves just as much as he's been wrecked by him, and, if his suspicions are correct, Chi Cheng would like that very much as well."

Wu Suowei may never be the top, but that doesn't mean he can't be the dom.

Summary
“You’re super pretty. Like, angel-level pretty.” Gi-hun spoke in a slurry voice. “…wait, are you an angel?” Then he looked around the room, his gaze wandering from the medical equipment to the IV drip attached to his hand and the tangle of wires surrounding him.
“…are you here to take me to heaven?”
“No, I’m not an angel.” In-ho couldn’t help it—he chuckled. “Gi-hun, don’t you remember me? I’m your husband.”
The revelation probably hit Gi-hun like an anvil. His eyes widened so dramatically that they looked like they might pop out of his head. “You’re my husband?” The cracker he’d been holding slipped out of his hand and landed on his chest. “Have we kissed yet?”
Or, Gi-hun wakes up from surgery, high on the effect of anesthesia, and hits on his husband In-ho.

Summary
"Your days are numbered," In-ho said. Voice flat. Face blank.
"Of course, silly," Jung-bae patted his shoulder, chuckling like, instead of a threat, In-ho cracked a funny joke for once. "It's called a calendar."
Or, after having witnessed the closeness Jung-bae shared with Gi-hun, In-ho's mask cracked and he, in the fit of possessiveness and possibly jealousy, found himself unable to contain the bitterness he harbored for Gi-hun's best friend. Unfortunately, no one — not even Jung-bae — took the danger he promised seriously. Not when he was, according to everybody, tiny and cute.

Summary
“Hey, Min-su. We’re going to play just one more game, right? You’ll vote circle so we can play together one last time?”
Nam-gyu finds some joy in the way Min-su’s eyes move down to his hands, his lips trembling in fear of going through all that circus one more time.
“Actually,” Thanos says, tone deep and serious and laced with something Nam-gyu cannot recognize, “we are voting ‘X’ this time.”
Nam-gyu almost falls back. What?
Or: Nam-gyu almost dies during Mingle, and Thanos realizes no pills are helping him deal with that.
