Summary
In-ho never planned to become a recruiter. But when the player count falls short and Seok-woo dares him to take a shift for the night, he steps in – just to prove a point. Ddakji case in hand, he finds Gi-hun. Broke. Bruised. And far too willing to pay with his body.
What begins as a standard transaction spirals into something stranger, hotter, and more dangerous than either of them expect. Consent blurs. Stakes rise. And In-ho finds himself breaking his own rules – because Gi-hun doesn’t just play to win. He begs to be ruined.
A slow burn of power, humiliation, and increasingly exploitative clauses.
Terms and Conditions
After accepting a dare to handle recruitment for one night, the initiating party (Hwang, I.) enters into a provisional agreement with the receiving party (Seong, G.).
Following a lost game of ddakji, the receiving party was informed he could “pay with his body.” The phrase was misunderstood. The offer was accepted – verbally, awkwardly, and with excessive eye contact.
Consent is given. Clarity is questionable. Emotional damage is ongoing. Renewal is likely.
This contract is binding. No refunds.

Summary
“I see. Your usual clients must be of a higher calibre than I thought.”Gi-hun bristles immediately. “Well, none of them ever told me to bow at a certain angle, or that I wasn’t allowed to speak.” He lets out a snort. “And none of them ever thought so highly of themselves that I wasn’t allowed to look at them. Sir.”
There’s another pause, longer this time. Gi-hun resolutely avoids glancing at the mirror.
“Well, please,” his passenger says, cordial. “If it’ll make you feel better, you have my permission to look at me.”
Gi-hun has driven a lot of assholes in his three years as a chauffeur, but this may be his biggest one yet.

Summary
Of course the Frontman had seen him coming, foreseen the naïve act of bravery on his brother’s behalf, and intercepted their attack at every single turn. He’d even gone so far as to infiltrate the games, posing as a player – player 001, ironically – just to mess with Gi-hun’s head.
And he hates himself over it. He hates that the Frontman got to him, tricked him, deceived him so, so easily. He hates that he’s doomed to trust so easily, to allow a charming smile and a heated gaze fool him. Young-il never existed. He was carefully constructed, specifically designed to infiltrate Gi-hun’s group and manipulate.
-
Gi-hun speaks to the Frontman more than once, and uses his infatuation as a manipulation tactic. S3 rewrite.

Summary
Gi-hun’s lips curled into a smirk, his gaze cold as he shook his head. “Fifteen years, and you’re still the same selfish bastard you were back then.”
Gi-hun thought his biggest challenge at his new job would be impressing clients—he didn’t expect to run into his ex from fifteen years ago… especially not as the CEO. Now he’s stuck navigating awkward reunions, old sparks, and the small matter of working under the guy who still knows how to get under his skin.

Summary
“Excuse me, Coach Lasso, could I have a word?” Trent asked, tamping down the butterflies in his belly as Ted Lasso gave him his full attention.
Ted put his thumb and pointer finger under his chin for a moment thoughtfully before snapping his fingers and pointing at Trent.
“Archipelago."

Summary
“Yeah, well,” Ted says ruefully, gingerly touching the cut on his forehead, “I figure if they didn’t like the team being written about by a ‘you-know-what,’ imagine how they’d feel knowing one was coaching them.”
Ted groans as he gets down to his feet. “I’m gonna go check on Roy—unless there’s anything else you need here?” His warm hand settles on Trent’s shoulder.
For perhaps the second time in his life, Trent has no follow up questions. Ted squeezes his shoulder and goes to see to Roy’s black eye. The spot on Trent’s shoulder burns.
Or:
These are the facts.
A man swung a bottle at Trent’s head and Ted reacted like a hero in a tawdry romance novel, practically sweeping Trent into his arms while battling off a cadre of drunken bigots. Ted then told Trent Crimm, the Independent, ruthless and bloodthirsty journo, temporary damsel in distress, that a member of the coaching staff was gay as easily as he would acknowledge the weather.
The crush Trent has been nursing for months is now a problem.

Summary
"They tried to kiss me, Stede." He chuckled into the shell of Stede's ear and it sent another shiver down him.
"Oh?" Stede asked quietly, breathlessly.
Edward nodded and Stede could feel the movement of it against his neck, the soft brush of beard tickling him. "But I said, 'You're not the Gentleman Pirate!' and they sod right off."
Stede's heart and mind were both racing. "How interesting," was all he could manage in reply, and he felt Ed's arms tighten around him.
"Yeah, you are. Can't deny that."

Or, Ed gets a bit too drunk at a bar and spills all his beans.

Summary
After a messy divorce that leaves Stede in a bad financial situation, he gets caught up with the wrong people. When they come to collect their money, he has nowhere to turn. So when he finds himself in a dingy bar near the coast, running on his last bit of money, the last thing he expects is for some stranger to take an interest in him and his situation. He's even more baffled when this strange man, who says his name is Ed, tells him he'll fix the whole situation for him. All Stede has to do is come work for him for a year.
Edward is bored. Bored with the business, bored with the people around him, bored with life. Who knew being the leader of the largest crime organization in the country would be so fucking dull? He'd begun to think there really was nothing more to life, until a fascinating blonde stranger blew into town. Stede Bonnet is new and interesting, but Ed isn't worried. How much can one man shake up his life?

Summary
When one of the last memories Ed has of his mother - a letter she wrote before she died - gets mixed up in some paperwork with a wealthy merchant’s party invitation, it’s only natural that Stede offers to help him crash the party under false aliases to help him get it back.
Of course - the unwelcome return of an old friend, a risqué party game and Ed’s fat crush on Stede Bonnet aren’t exactly helping to make the mission easy. The course of true love never did run smooth.

Summary
A small part of Gi-hun's eyes stayed bright. When Sang-woo noticed, the world stopped, and he couldn’t do what he was prepared to do. Warm droplets of rain fell down his face, and he begged that Gi-hun would walk away and end this, but he couldn’t leave him alone. Couldn’t leave anything alone.
Figures.
Sang-woo let out a shaky breath and took his hand.
An AU where both Gi-hun and Sang-woo end the game, but are subsequently left with nothing.

Summary
“A… ring.” Sae-byeok muses, staring at her brother as he holds the jewelry like it was the last of its kind.
“Well, yes-” Cheol says, throwing his hands around as if he was frustrated his older sister couldn't get the severity of the situation, “But it’s a wedding ring.”
The girl puts her head on her fist as she drums her hands on his wooden desk, “I thought they were already married- well, in everything but papers,”
Cheol turns to look at her, eyes wide and hands up in the air as he yells out, “That’s what I thought too!”
“So obviously we were wrong.”
“Obviously.”
---
Cheol finds a ring in Sang-woo’s jacket. He, Sae-byeok and Ga-yeong ‘helps’ him propose.

Summary
“Lavender,” Harry says when he realizes Cisco is watching him with curiosity. “It’s supposed to be relaxing. That’s what the girl at the store said.”
“Next thing I know you’re gonna be pulling out music and massage oils.”
Harry looks at the ceiling. Cisco’s tongue grows two sizes, throbbing in time with his heart and want.
“You brought music and massage oils?”
(Harry gives Cisco a massage. Set after 4x15.)
