Summary
“There was another in our group,” says Rick. “Got separated when our camp was overrun.” He thinks of chestnut-dark hair and eyes the blue of the Chattahoochee in spring, but these aren’t people he knows and this isn’t a poetry class. “Brown hair, blue eyes. Carries a crossbow. You seen him?”
And at Abraham’s who is he to you, Rick says without missing a beat, “He’s my husband.”

Summary
“Young-il! I know you’re there! Face me, you coward! FACE ME!”
His voice bounced off the walls, ragged with fury and heartbreak. In-ho couldn’t bring himself to look away. Gi-hun stood alone, Jun-hee’s baby cradled against his chest, swaying slightly as if the weight might drag him down.
The VIPs beside him stirred. He could hear the rustle of fur, the clink of ice in crystal glasses, the irritation of people unaccustomed to dealing with real human emotion.
“What’s he doing?” Eagle asked lazily. “He won, why is he so angry?”
“You’re asking why the maniac who came back willingly is angry?” Panther replied, already bored again.
But In-ho knew. He was daring In-ho to talk to him again. Because they both knew that he had just lost. When Player 333—one who had proven himself to be nothing but selfish and self-serving—had said, “Look after her,” then started the game, and thrown himself off the platform before Gi-hun could even blink, Gi-hun had proven that his faith in humanity wasn’t misplaced.

Summary
In-ho has one chance to convince Gi-hun to join him as his right-hand-man, or else the VIPs want him dead. He agrees.
Because In-ho is right. The rebellion didn't work. It was never going to work. The players are simply too far removed from the people really in charge. Even killing the Front Man would only result in a replacement Front Man. But as the Front Man's protégé, Gi-hun can make a difference. He can do what he can for the players from above, rather than below. He can investigate the gold-masked men. He can scheme.
There's light in the darkness. In-ho helps Gi-hun get Ga-yeong back. He teaches him how to fight, how to survive in this deadly world. Slowly, slowly, they begin to trust each other. (The kissing happens long before the trust.)
Gi-hun uses his new power, undreamt of in his old life, to do what he never did before: think only of others. And the luxury helps, the high-end alcohol helps, but of course he's still tortured by guilt. But at least they're tortured together, and take sanctuary in each other. Gi-hun gets to fight in favor of the players; In-ho gets to not be alone. They both got what they wanted.
Begins immediately following the events of S2.

Summary
In-ho comes back from his eight years undercover injured, jaded, and devoid of humanity. A kind-eyed do-gooder in a back alley might change all of that.
Featuring falling in love, PTSD, Hwang brother angst and hurt/comfort, and an evolution from misanthrope to slightly-less of a misanthrope.

Summary
It’d take his breath away, if he had any. Strangely, a sensation of pure relief fills him as he watches a silent tear slide down Loki’s pale cheek. He’s almost… happy that this is the last thing he’ll ever see. If only Loki didn’t look so sad.
Loki opens his mouth to speak—and then he’s gone.
Mobius opens his eyes.
Overwhelmed with loss after Loki’s dramatic self-sacrifice, Mobius finds that existence is too much to bear if it means never seeing Loki again. Oddly enough, that’s exactly how it happens.

Summary
Based on the traditional Irish song "The Parting Glass" and various Arthurian legends as well as the Merlin (BBC) retelling.
"There had been nights of laughter, that rang out through the forest or across the courtyard. Nights of Ale and Mead and Cider and song. Nights when Morgana thought that perhaps she had always had a home in this place that sometimes had left her heart cold one too many times. When she had been with a King and a Prince who in turns she had thought loved her more than life, and then hated her more than the most loathed enemy."

Summary
Mexico has left both Nikki and Jack scarred and traumatised. Neither of them knowing how to deal with it, they fall apart, alone and broken. When Nikki comes back to the Lyell after two months, Jack realises that he should have been there. So he takes the plunge and shows up at her house. They talk.
This fic was all inspired by the song Punto Y Aparte by Morat. The lyrics reminded me of Nikki and Jack in the aftermath of Mexico so hard that I just had to write a fic about it.
