Summary
You’ve caught my attention.
There’s something in the way you carry yourself. Quiet, steady. Not seeking notice, but impossible to overlook.
I find myself wanting to know you. Not just in passing, but slowly, with purpose.
If you’ll allow it, I’d like to court you. There’s no expectation—only honest intent. This is my offering, made freely.
Take your time. I’ll await your answer.
Yours sincerely.In a city full of noise and strangers, Gi-hun, an aging, lonely omega, has grown used to being invisible. But when a traditional courting gift arrives—silent, scentless, and impossibly sincere—he's forced to confront a quiet, unbearable truth: someone sees him. Someone chose him. And someone, somewhere, is waiting to see if he’ll choose them back.

Summary
“We're at a stalemate.” Gi Hun sighed, crossing his arms. “Neither of us can kill each other. Nobody wins."
The rebellion is over, and what follows is a series of mind games as Gi Hun and In Ho attempt to break each other.
A definitely-not-sour rewrite of season 3.

Summary
“Hwang In-ho,” In-ho flinched at hearing his name from a voice that had never spoken it aloud before. “I’m supposed to hate you and be glad you’ve sunk this low,”
What the hell was going on?“so why do I just feel pissed off instead, huh?”
In-ho's head snapped downward immediately, pulling at a muscle or two in his neck, his eyes flying open just as quickly.
Stillness, pitch-black silence. That’s what he thought he’d see.
Not… not…
“Seong… Gi-hun…?”
A dead man lingers. In-ho does his best to live with it.

Summary
Working for a naked housework company was supposed to be easy money. Cleaning, cooking, and clear boundaries. But In-ho watches him too closely, and boundaries quickly blur until Gi-hun isn’t sure where the work ends and the game begins.
He only knows he’s losing.

Summary
mania
/ˈmeɪnɪə/
noun
an excessive enthusiasm or desire; an obsession.
────────
Gi-hun arched his back into a smooth curl, the imprint of his boxers pressing harshly into the back of the baggy issued track pants, his knees planted into the ground and his legs cocked wide apart as he lapped at dalgona candy, sugar dissolving on his tongue. His submission, his desperation, and his despair turned In-ho on more than he would like to admit. He had always enjoyed feeling more powerful than others, and the thought that Gi-hun was in the situation because of him, his orchestration of the games, his direction, and supervision made him increasingly aroused.
And now In-ho was standing right within the moment his obsession with the man had begun. And after all, it was his dream, his rules.

Summary
Kara Sevda
[Noun.] Turkish
A blinding, desperate love for another person. A kind of love that makes you sick. Literally translates to "Dark Love"."You did it, hero. You stopped the games. You should be happy."
Gi-hun had won. In-ho has failed to break his spirit. And the more he fails, the more his obsession with the man grows, plunging him into the black ocean of despair. A love that is keeping them both prisoners.
"How long are you going to keep me here?"
"As long as it takes."
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of loveThe song they were dancing to felt like a letter to the future. In-ho knew that whatever they had couldn't last forever. Sooner or later, Gi-hun was going to disentangle himself from his web.
He just wanted to dance with him until the end.

Summary
"Hyung, you should be in love with Seong Gihun." Junho blurted out, his hands tightening around Inho's arms.
Inho furrowed his brows, "Who the fuck is Seong Gihun?"
Junho wakes up as a sixteen-year-old and remembers everything. The games, the blood, the betrayals. He remembers how Inho’s path to join the Games was paved with loneliness and bitterness.
He’s convinced that if Inho and Gihun had found each other earlier, they might've been able to save each other from the isolation and self-destruction that eventually consumed them.
However, the universe doesn't like being rewritten, threatening to snap back...
-------
Junho travels back in time, determined to play matchmaker, battling not only the timeline’s resistance but also Inho’s guarded heart and Gihun’s obliviousness.

Summary
Hwang Inho was desperate. Desperate enough to take a chance on a half-whispered promise, on a strange card pressed into his palm, on any way out that sounded even halfway real. What choice did he have? The world had already closed its fist. Gihun was dying, and no amount of love, hope, or sheer stubbornness could change it. Only money. So Inho would do anything, risk anything, to save him.
But the second the first gunshot cracked through the air, every illusion shattered. Fairness, control, the idea that any of this could be played clean—gone. The bodies fell. The Games started. Suddenly, it wasn’t about money at all. It was about surviving.
Because if he didn’t… Gihun wouldn’t, either. And Inho wasn’t ready to let him go.

“Oh, whoops, my bad,” is the first thing Tony says when they step into their luxurious room at the Ritz where it’s startlingly clear there’s only one bed.
He looks at Peter with what he hopes is a mildly believable apologetic face, then: “Hope you don’t mind sharing a bed.”

___________________
The sky was getting a little too dark from the approaching storm for Marty to properly see the figure that faced him, but it didn't stop his blood from turning cold at the sight. The man looked erratic, the wind whipping his dark hair violently with each blow as he stared at the boy from across the street. He had to fight to keep the white lab coat around his body, a difficult task as Marty would find him having with an odd silver disk clutched tightly in the man's hand.The man was staring at the boy, that much Marty could understand, but the words that seemed to come next really shook him to his core.
"Marty!" The man yelled, voice seeming to crack as he took a step towards the street. Marty only now noticed that the man's feet were bare on the sidewalk. "Marty! Whatever you do, don't listen to Emmett! Stay away from Emmett Brown! Do you understand?!"
