Summary
*FIX IT FIC*
*Under reconstruction - light edits per chapter*
In-ho makes a different choice before Gi-hun can. He breaks protocol. Starts the evacuation early.
After the Game, Gi-hun and In-ho are two men carrying the same kind of broken—grief-torn, guilt-heavy, and haunted by the choices that kept them breathing. What begins as excruciatingly fragile proximity deepens into something unshakable: a child who needs them both, feelings neither of them dare to name, and the terrifying, hard-won hope that they might still be worthy of joy. Orbiting the wreckage of who they used to be, they begin again—not cleanly, but together.
But peace doesn’t come easy. Not when the past hunts them with a badge and a grudge. Not when the line between guilt and forgiveness won’t stay still. As secrets unravel and old wounds split open, Gi-hun and In-ho must fight harder than ever—not for survival this time, but for a future they finally believe they deserve.

Summary
"He thought about Gi-hun, who was probably dead by now. After all, the world ate goodness. Consumed it like an animal eats raw meat, feeds on it and tears it up and destroys it. Who would know that better than In-ho? His wife, Gi-hun, these people were the type that the world swallowed whole.
And empty, rotten people like Hwang In-ho? Well, he'd probably live forever."
Hwang In-ho encounters Seong Gi-hun more than once, and each time, Gi-hun wedges himself deeper inside his mind. In-ho has been devoid of personhood for years, since his wife's death, but hope is a powerful thing. So, too, is love.

Summary
Gi-hun presses the button.
It was an accident. A chance result of his random stumblings, shoe catching awkwardly in the angular little chink as Player 333 takes a heaving swing at Gi-hun’s head with the metal pole.
--
A quick little fix-it oneshot after... that.
Gi-hun lives to be with his daughter. In-ho gives them a lift home.

What does it mean to be human?
Inho can't grasp the fact that even until the very end, they were the complete opposite: like yin and yang. One fell as a human. the other, inhumane.
Or......
Alternative ending for season three, where we see Inhos reaction to Gihuns death.Bookmarked by SleepySaffron

Summary
It’s been two years since his wife and child passed away and Hwang In-ho is barely living. His brother Jun-ho, determined to bring some spark back into his life, gets him a consultation with a popular local matchmaker. In-ho goes only to appease his brother, but something in him changes when he meets Mr. Cupid for the first time.
(AKA AU where everything is the same as canon except there are no Squid Games, In-ho didn’t take money and still has his job, and Gi-hun started a matchmaking service instead of going into debt gambling. lol)
