Summary
Gi-hun's entire life has fallen apart, but he’s been managing to hold himself together, picking up the pieces of himself in the aftermath of a messy divorce. But one day, he arrives at work early to find something that sends his entire world crashing down around him for a second time.
A tasteless, disgusting prank – because that’s all it is, what else could it be?
“I think someone may even harbor some kind of disturbing fascination with you, Gi-hun. But you need to understand – the Board only sees that you're causing problems.” Il-nam pauses to break eye contact, expression grim. “I don’t mean to speak ill of your area colleagues, but they're not good enough to save your career from this. Any of them.”
Just as despair grips Gi-hun within its sharp talons, In-ho, who has been silently observing the entire exchange, finally speaks up – offering salvation that reverberates through the silent office like a crack of thunder.
“I’ll do it.”

Summary
Thump…Thump..
Gi-Hun watched in horror as the Jegi came to rest in a pool of blood, a few inches away from his and Young-Il’s outstretched foot. It was as if the world itself moved slower in those moments, fear seeping into his veins.
“Fail”
They missed, they failed, and they were dead. His eyes flickered between the faces of the men in his group; Dae-Ho, Jung-Bae, Young-Il, and the marine that had happily volunteered to join a team full of fellow marines. He doomed them all, with one missed kick he had just sealed their fates, and he only had himself to blame.

Summary
"Appa, I miss you," could be heard from the other side of the phone. Gihun sobbed, fat tears rolling down his face as he curled into himself.
From the other side of the screen, Inho watched, sipping Gihun's favourite soju, watching how Gihun broke down. Just watching, unable to do anything else, just like he had been doing every single day for over a year.

Summary
It was sadistic, this whole thing. Wicked, that he’d even consider it.
But then, In-ho was already quite wicked, wasn’t he? He was not a religious man by any means, but if there truly was a hell waiting for him the minute he died, he didn’t doubt that he was already well on his way to going there. It didn’t matter what he did now, what he might do later.
The red in his ledger was far too deeply stained for him to ever fully wipe it clean.
It was too late for him. Far, far too late.
And he was only a man, after all.
Still a man. Nonetheless.

An unexpected interruption to his plans prompts In-ho into deciding he's not quite ready to give his favorite player back just yet....Bookmarked by lightning

Summary
"You take risks without thinking," In-ho mused as he watched Gi-hun's fingers tighten around his last chip. "That's why you always lose."
"And yet, here I am. Still playing."
The faintest smirk curled around In-ho’s lips. "Because you don't know how to stop." He leaned in, voice quiet but dangerous. "Tell me, Gi-hun—what happens when there's nothing left to bet but yourself?"
Gi-hun is drowning in debt, In-ho is swimming in wealth as the owner of an exclusive high-stakes casino. Two worlds that should never collide—until one desperate gamble pulls Gi-hun into a life he has yet to understand.
But when the devil asks you to play, can you really afford to say no?

Summary
“I’m going to fucking kill you.” Gi-hun hisses, his voice breaking on the words.
In-ho stares up at him, his breathing uneven, and for a moment, something other than pain curls in his chest. “You’re so beautiful when you’re angry,” he says softly, his voice low and almost reverent.
It starts with a cold night and stolen moments in the dark - Gi-hun, wrapped up in Young-il, clinging to his warmth and whispered half-truths. But there's another man he can't stop thinking about, the one hiding behind a mask.
When he finally puts the pieces together, it should change everything. Instead, it changes him.
(aka: In-ho warns the guards about Gi-hun’s plans, and thus brings his little rebellion to the ground before it even starts. now he has to cuddle with his crush to stay warm - how unfortunate! especially because Gi-hun won't stop talking about how much he wants to kill him)

Summary
Law wasn’t sure of when exactly he heard it for the first time. He didn’t know if it was even said to him or if the Straw Hats had just passed it to each other in a jovial tone. But it went around and it earnt a laugh or a smile, as it always did, and it made Law’s blood boil. Because he knew it wasn’t true and yet, impossibly, his crew didn’t. His own crew didn’t know and held fast to one simple truth:
He’ll be fine; it’s Luffy.

Summary
Uta stares at him. Just stares and stares – even as Hongo, Benn, and the others arrive. Hongo takes one look at Luffy and shakes his head. As Benn swears, Shanks buries his head into Luffy’s hair.
There’s blood, Luffy’s blood, on her hands. It’s still warm and drying. Flakes uncomfortably sticking to her skin, and buried deep under her fingernails. She killed Luffy.
“Uta.” Shanks is looking up at her (a monster who looks so much like a man. A monster who’s slaughtered thousands yet cries over one boy. Why hasn’t he killed her yet? Monster. Monster. Monster. Man. Father.) with tears in his eyes. “What happened?”
Or:
The fic where I go 'What if Uta actually had stabbed Luffy?' and stayed up until two am writing it
