    Summary

    Scott Essex believes he has no brother instead it was a trick his mind played him to be able to cope, that was at least what his father said. His father does not lie, he loves him. Being found by Sinister and raised as his son was not easy but Scott deals with it. His past before that being but an unimportant blur he has no access to. He is part of the Marauders and protecting his father's work from mutants such as the X-Men.
    Alex Summers on the other hand still struggles with the loss of his older brother unsure if what he does is enough and what he wants to do. Is he just as much an amazing brother to Gabriel as Scott was to him? Everything changes though when he finds out that Scott was not dead but instead held by Sinister. What would happen if they were ever to cross paths with one another.

    This story tries to play with the question of what would happen had Sinister adopted Scott as his son instead of trying to manipulate him in the dark.
    The title is a line from the song 'The Line' by Twenty One Pilots

    Summary

    During the planning stages of Gi-hun’s obsession with the games, Jun-ho slipped and told Gi-hun more than he intended about his time as an undercover guard. Armed with an explosive bit of knowledge, and still suspicious of Player 001 after their confrontation on watch, Gi-hun plans his rebellion better. Slightly better, but then, he's always had dumb luck. A small sacrifice for the greater good. When Jun-ho finally finds the island, it falls to him to make the call about the disclosure of Player 001’s true identity. Never mind that Gi-hun might just figure it out on his own, opening a Pandora's box to a perfect storm.

    And then? Gi-hun can't let things go. Can't let him go. As much as he might lie to himself and say he doesn’t care about the one who tried so hard to psychologically break him. Blame Young-il for having made everything so complicated, and In-ho's also always been obsessive about a certain favorite horse. But the clouds must clear, and every dark night turns into day. Because love? Love isn’t easy. But love is worth it. Even when neither of the parties involved intended to fall in love from the start.

    Summary

    Seong Gi-hun. He died. He should've died. Instead he suddenly woke up again after his fall. He thought the game was over, but he heard a ringing of gun shot. He fucking died, she won! Why did he save him?
    Why did he—the Front man—the one who he thought already died back there, the traitor—save him?

    Or, Seong Gi-hun suddenly wakes up after falling from the final game—only to find the Frontman waiting for him and suddenly says they need to leave to Europe.

    An AU of the aftermath of the fall that not only explores each character as a whole, but also how they would (in what I think realistically) go through grief, desperation, yearning and guilt.
    This is a telling of what both men would’ve acted and done, all for the sake of themselves.

    This fix-it-fic is what should've happened after the fall because i fucking hated the ending and i know you all did too that's why you're staring at this. All hell breaks lose!

    Summary

    Gi-hun, trapped and betrayed, faces the horrifying truth about Young-il, the man he thought was a friend.

    “Why me? Because you let me,” Young-il said, his voice steady and cutting. “You trusted me. You opened the door. You gave me the power to hurt you. And I used it.”

    Between deadly games, impossible choices, and philosophical battles about power and survival, Gi-hun is forced to confront not only the system that created the games—but what he is willing to become in order to stop it.

    Because the line between justice and vengeance is razor-thin. And once you cross it—there’s no going back.

    (The author says: "Alexa, play Toxic!")

    Summary

    Gi-hun’s rebellion failed. Now imprisoned, he’s nothing more than a pawn in a game he thought he could escape. The Front Man has plans for him, and he’s not content with just breaking Gi-hun physically - he wants to remake him, reshape him into a tool of the system. The pull of surrender becomes harder to resist with each passing moment, as the Front Man’s dark brand of affection worms its way under Gi-hun’s skin.

    But a mysterious soldier, whose presence feels eerily familiar, watches from the shadows, unsettling Gi-hun with memories he can’t quite reach and dredging up a past that threatens to shatter what little sanity he has left.

    Or:

    Gi-hun is torn between the Front Man’s suffocating grip and a ghost from his past - one who may be the key to his salvation or his destruction.
