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
“Your rut should hit before the games end, yes?” Il-nam chirps, like it’s an entirely acceptable thing to ask, and In-ho clenches his jaw.
Stiffly, obediently, he answers, “Yes, sir. It won’t interfere with my performance.”
The old Alpha leans in, devious intent glittering behind the mask. “You should use 456.”
“Sir?”
“Really. I want you to have him. I picked him out for you. His scent is excellent, despite his background. And he’s very docile.”
“That’s very thoughtful, sir,” In-ho says, and tries to turn away, but the Host catches at his sleeve and emits a musty pulse of dominant pheromones, the frail old fingers shockingly strong.
"Tonight,” he says placidly. “He’ll die tomorrow, and I want those tapes.”
In-ho’s stomach turns. They’ve never intruded on his rut like this, on a moment of privacy this primal, this raw.
“I have,” he says, slightly raw around the edges, “Perhaps, a... more entertaining alternative.”-
The Host wants the Front Man to put on a show with Player 456. In-ho would rather eat glass, so he comes up with an alternative offer.
Player 218 will watch the coupling.
The VIPs will watch Player 218.

Summary
“Junho was new to Grindr.
His thumb scrolled through profiles and after the tenth blurred image of someones Dick, he sighed, wanting to toss his phone aside onto the bed, until he caught sight of one that made him pause.
Hwho76. The profile said he was 49. From Seoul.
Junhos thumb hovered for a moment.”

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.

Summary
Gi-hun had nothing but hate coursing through him, and it was all targeted at Hwang In-ho. His entire life has been dedicated to sealing the Honmoon for all of eternity and finally getting rid of him. It was his life's only purpose. Which is why he hates him even more now that he's in human form and on earth. He especially hates how touchy he is, how he always leans in to whisper things to him like they were secrets only for the two of them, and he hates the way it almost seems like he's flirting with him. He hates, hates, hates.
Or
Hwang In-ho's spent eternity in his original form, preferring it over having to go and mingle with the disgusting humans up on earth. Everyone bows down to his feet and cowers in fear whenever he speaks, so when he met a man—a human—who did nothing but stare at him with pure, unfiltered hatred, In-ho knew he needed to do everything in his power to break him.

Summary
“You run,” Ki-yong stared back, “bark,” sweat that had beaded up now trailed down his forehead, “and wag your tail for them” he shivered.
“You're nothing more than their dog.”
‘Fuck,' Ki-yong thought, 'this fucking prick has no idea how close to the truth he really is.'
Or : The Recruiter is In-ho's fuck-buddy, nothing more. Thousands of words worth of filth with no real plot, but lots of feelings (on Ki-yong's part anyway)

Summary
"She's the albatross, she is here to destroy you."
What if Hwang Inho didn't willingly become the Frontman?
Hwang Inho's life is falling apart after winning the Squid Games but finding his wife dead. Unluckily for him, you're the daughter of Oh Ilnam, and you're determined to drag him back to the games, even if he isn't a participant.
Author's Note: Reader x Other Characters are explored, but not tagged to avoid spoilers and confusion because Inho x Reader is endgame. And also Reader is technically an OC that I was too lazy to name, thus 2nd person.
Previously titled "Moth to a Flame"

Summary
“You’re a monster.”
“I know,” In-ho whispers into Gi-hun’s skin. “But you’re still here, aren’t you?”
“I need to stop you.”
“Is that why you keep coming back? To stop me? Or perhaps…”
In-ho grabs his face, starved for his eyes. When Gi-hun tries to flinch away, he tightens his grasp on his cheeks.
“Oh, Gi-hun…”
He smiles, admiring him, basking in the way his furious eyes search to kill him with just his look, in the pure hatred of his expression. His whole focus on him, In-ho needs him more than ever.
“You’re so beautiful.”
(Or, after In-ho has revealed to Gi-hun who he truly is, Gi-hun refuses to accept it. In-ho can’t help but like the hatred in his eyes; he thinks he’s finally starting to understand his grief.)
