Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

Summary
The air in Hawkins was clear, clearer than it had been in a long time. Yet for Will, it had never been harder to breathe. Every breath felt like sucking in glass, cutting up his lungs and leaving the taste of blood in his throat. It's like he's surrounded by thick honey, each step an effort, each inhale a challenge.
It didn't take Will long to realise something was wrong. Not with Hawkins, not with the Party. No, this was all Will.

After the defeat of Vecna, Will gets sick. Really sick.

Summary
“Will, do you think I am boy crazy?”
Will blinks at her question, “Why do you ask?”
“This magazine says I am,” she says, holding it up, “But I still have more questions to answer. What is ‘falls fast’?”
Will opens his mouth. Closes it. Opens it again, “Um.”
Joyce calls down the hall, “Are you two even doing your homework? I’m hearing a lot of chatter!”
“Yes, Mom!” they answer in perfect unison, grinning at each other all the while.

Summary
Will’s eyes sting with tears, and his nose prickles with heat. He feels like he’s burning, like he’s on fire. But Mom’s right—he doesn’t have to be afraid. She knows, and she loves him, and she’s not leaving. All that’s left is the words. And he shouldn’t be scared of words. After all he’s been through, if what takes him down is the English alphabet, then the world has a really fucked up sense of humor.
He just needs to rip off the bandaid.

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
Three months have passed since Yo Han's final act of revenge and Ga On is struggling. Despite his best efforts, he hasn't been able to make much progress in straightening out the chaos Yo Han left in his wake. Each day, Ga On grows more and more frustrated, trying not to feel like a complete failure.
But, even worse than that, is the loneliness. Ga On knows he only has himself to blame for the emptiness he now feels, but he also can't help but long for what he once had. Which is why he almost doesn't dare to believe it when Elijah reaches out to him after months of silence. But Ga On knows better than to let the opportunity slip through his fingers. He's determined to set things right and, this time, he's not going to make the same mistakes.
What Ga On doesn't expect is just how overwhelming it will feel to suddenly have Yo Han back in his life. And that, maybe, he doesn't actually want things to return to what they used to be. Ga On wants something else entirely — something new, breathtaking, and frightening.
But oh so tempting.

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.
Canon divergence post–Season 2.

Summary
Immediately after his failed rebellion, Gi-hun is taken to the Front Man’s office for what is sure to be unending torture at the hands of the masked monster. But the stress of the deadly fight sends Jun-hee into labor, revealing a crack in the Front Man’s stone-cold facade.
So, when the man behind the mask proposes a new game — a battle of minds that ends with the loser joining the winner’s cause — Gi-hun accepts, determined to chip away at the crack until the very foundation of the game crumbles.
He soon discovers, however, that his heart is the prize In-ho is truly after; and the man will stop at nothing to win it over.

Summary
One rose. Then another. Scarlet, white, pink - each one of them left by the Frontman himself feels like a careful probe along the fragile border between them. At first, Gi-hun destroys them furiously, but the flowers keep appearing in his dark life. On his doorstep. In abandoned buildings. Even atop his own bed.
Gi-hun throws them away. Then he keeps one. Then he starts waiting for the next. And somewhere along the way, he realizes the thorns cut the giver’s hands like knives. They split open his armor, let something alive bleed through. And oh, Gi-hun has never been able to hurt anything alive.
This love begins with a rose.

Summary
The Front Man closed the space between them in two short strides. His gloved hand darted out to grip Gi-hun’s face, forcing his chin upward. “I entertained your demands to re-enter the games, indulged your misguided notions and faulty sense of duty. I let you play the hero, at the expense of my own guards. I let you have your fun.”
“Why indulge me at all?” Gi-hun burst out. “Unless some part of you agrees with me?”
“I gave you a chance to prove me wrong. You failed.”
“I failed because you murdered Jung-bae.” Gi-hun’s voice hitched over the lump in his throat. “And Young-il.” And probably every other member of their failed coup.
The Front Man stilled. “Player 001 has not been eliminated.”
Gi-hun’s heart gave a painful lurch. He must’ve heard wrong. That, or this was another game. Another trick to drive him to the breaking point. “What did you say?”
“Cooperate and you’ll see Player 001 again, as a sign of goodwill.”
After the failed coup, the Front Man offers Gi-hun the chance to see Young-il again—in exchange for his continued cooperation.

Summary
The Front Man watches intently as two pink soldiers carry Gi-hun down the hall, heading back to staff dorms. Gi-hun seems half-aware, his body quaking from the beating he took. The former player is insistent on walking by himself despite how badly each step seems to hurt.
In-ho finds Seong Gi-hun fascinating. It was clear Gi-hun wanted to become a player again so that he might be able to save the others and end the games once and for all - which is exactly why the In-ho made him a soldier instead. He wanted to watch Gi-hun fight against his control and struggle to save even a single life as a guard. Maybe that way he would finally learn that this place is inevitable.
That is also one of the reasons In-ho decided to go undercover as another soldier, so he might get closer to Gi-hun and understand him better - even if only to use that against him.Regardless, through physical and emotional torture, the Front Man would finally break Player 456.
It was only a matter of time.OR: Squid Game 2, but the Front Man/Hwang In-ho tries to break Gi-hun by making him a soldier instead of a player.

Summary
"Young-il was a good person. He was my friend. And you killed him because all he wanted was to save his family."
"Gi-hun —" In-ho quickly stopped and shut his mouth when he realized he was letting it slip. He's Player 456 to you now, and you're not Young-il anymore, warned the voices in his head.
You're the Front Man and he's Player 456. Young-il and Gi-hun are no more. And that ache, the sudden surge of pain in In-ho's chest, In-ho could never seem to understand.

Summary
He hasn’t slept. He can only see Dae-ho, he can only think of Yong-sik saying he just fell to the ground.
It was Dae-ho’s fault.
His chest is a churning mass of rage and grief and shame and hate. It pulls at his senses, he doesn’t know anything except—it was Dae-ho’s fault.
His wrist hurts. The handcuff is digging into his skin.
It was Dae-ho’s fault.
His eyes are getting dry, watching the shapeless lump of Dae-ho selfishly living, breathing, where so many others died.
He doesn’t know if he is blinking.
It was Dae-ho’s fault.
He cannot even think their names, all those people who died. He has tried to hard to help, he has tried to hard to end this, but no one will listen to him, no one will help him, no one will do what they need to do.
It was Dae-ho’s fault.
The lights come on and he blinks. His eyes hurt. His legs hurt. His head hurts.
It was Dae-ho’s fault.
