    Summary

    The Front Man prides himself on the consensual nature of his games. Manipulated or not, every participant who enters his playground has voluntarily offered themselves up to the experience. He truly believes that the games provide a space where all participants can be equal. At least for six days.

    When a VIP requests that Hana, a girl not considered to be in a desperate need of money, be entered into the games by force, the Front Man cannot refuse... but is quietly enraged by her very presence. She should not be there, ruining his delusions of fairness and consent, especially not whilst returning player 456 seeks to incite an insurrection. Will Hana's involuntary participation force him to look upon the experience in a new light, or will he dispose of her just like he would any other threat to the continuation of the games?

    Summary

    When Hermione, back at Hogwarts for her 'eight' year, unknowingly reveals to Professor Snape just how captivating she truly finds his classes, he offers her a choice: detention - or her submission. What starts as a sexually charged game fueled by the nature of their power imbalance quickly spirals into something neither one of them expected.

    Edit: July 2025- This fic has NOT been abandoned :)

    Summary

    Severus Snape wants absolutely nothing to do with the new Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts. She's bubbly, and gentle, and kind. All of things he hates the most.

    But when she accidentally leaves a journal in the staff room full of salacious ideas for what appear to be for a book she's writing, he suddenly finds himself intrigued.

    Severus returns it to her, but not after discovering that she's been suffering from writer's block. And for some unfathomable reason, he just can't seem to halt the offer that comes out of his mouth. To help her get past it.

    Summary

    It's the lead up to the games and a technician guard is on her 5th year maintaining the equipment that keeps them running. A lost soul but an encounter with a face she thought dead leads to a dalliance she did not expect. I really don't have a plan with this one. I have thoughts and I'm currently inspired so who knows ... Expect smut, attempts at meaning and my take on the machinery that runs this dark place.

    "I want you to convince me that you will have no issues with what's occurred. I don't very often indulge and so far its worked out, but now..." His gaze drifted to Byung Ho. "that is in threat. I couldn't let him moon like a sick calf without letting the others know that he had privileges." A sigh passed his lips. "I could shoot you both and deal with it that way, but I don't want the hassle of training new staff. Convince me we can work together without it becoming obvious?"

    The words settled across her brain and their meaning seared through her. Would this take words, or more than words. She glanced up at the boss' face, he was handsome at least. Taking one final decision she stepped forward and kissed him. His lips were soft but they answered her tentative pressure with force. Gods he could kiss.

    Summary

    "The Front Man turned, and though his expression was hidden, Gi-hun could feel the smirk in his voice.
    “Put him in there with the traitor.”
    A guard in a black hazmat suit chuckled darkly, and before Gi-hun could react, he was shoved through the doorway. The door slammed shut behind Gi-hun with a resounding finality, the lock clicking into place.

    ...
    Then, his eyes landed on the figure slumped in the chair.
    His breath caught in his throat. His vision blurred at the edges as he stumbled forward, his heart hammering against his ribs. Young-il. He was here. He was alive.
    Gi-hun’s legs felt like they might give out beneath him as he crossed the room, his footsteps echoing in the silence."

    ***

    Set immediately after the end of season 2. In which Young-il/In-ho is the Front Man, until he isn't. A tale of how his own guards betray In-ho, but he's too focused on redeeming himself and trying to win Gi-hun back to care. Pining, slow burn and redemption mixed with doubt and a lot of angst.
