CW: Minor character death per the tags.
“You need to get home right now,” Keeley urges, the panic in her tone making Ted stop dead in his tracks.

“He’s dead.”
Ted doesn’t need to ask who she means.

Summary
“It's just, when I knock... will you let me in?” He looks up at him, eyes imploring, searching. Every emotion swims through. He could never contain them even if he wanted to.
“I can try.”
And that was good enough, wasn't it? To him, it's as good as a promise. Especially coming from this person.
or,
Yamaguchi is gone. Tsukishima is now left to take care of his son while trying to pick up pieces of his own life, with help from someone he least expected to be around.

Summary
'“Kaiser,” he starts to say, “I’m sorry if I’m overstepping, but are you really okay?”
And he’s not sure, even afterwards, what it is that makes this his breaking point.
Whether it’s the fact that he’s so far away from home, feeling like he’s unmoored himself from reality in this surreal, unfamiliar place, or whether he’s just so tired, so defenceless without the fire burning through him and its fumes obscuring the things he does not want to handle.
He’s not sure, if it’s because Isagi is the farthest thing from a friend or the closest thing he has to familiarity right now, but he hears himself say, “My father died,” out loud, for the first time since he got the news.'

Summary
She looked every inch a Northern Water Tribe girl—even her eyes, normally a dark gray, seemed to have taken on a slightly icy hue, as if they were reflecting the arctic world around them—but there was something off about the disguise.
Kavik snapped his fingers as he figured it out. “You look like my gran-gran!” he said. Then his thoughts caught up with his mouth, and he said, “Wait, that didn’t come out right.”

It didn't hit him. Until it did, like a brick. He had been lying on his motel bed with his head hanging off the side, staring at Oda’s coat that was hanging off the back of a chair when it did.
What… did Oda even look like?

Summary
Lan Zhan's stream of consciousness through learning of Wei Ying's death, searching the Burial Mounds, finding A-Yuan, and reckoning throughout with justice, with what is right/wrong/black/white, and with his own failures. He finds, at the end, a will and a reason to continue.
He does not find Wei Ying, of course, not for 13-16 years. But this is the beginning of the path he takes to become worthy (in his mind) of Wei Ying's memory and, eventually, his love.
Not exactly linear. Italics are LWJ's direct thoughts.

Summary
Facing him, fast asleep, hair tussled on his pillow, lay Chan, his face still peaceful with sleep, his cheeks puffy, eyelids fluttering gently, and mouth parted slightly. His bare shoulders and chest usually made Hyunjin startle and blush, but that was not the focus of his attention this morning.
Hyunjin’s five-month-old daughter lay in Chan’s arms, her body snuggled up to his chest and her arms reaching up to his face as she slept. Her little maroon sleeper was slightly wrinkled and twisted up from her restless night, her dark hair splayed in every direction on Chan’s pillow, she sighed softly and snuggled gently closer to the older man, her fingers tightening in their little fists. Her lips parted into a pout and moved in a pulsing rhythm; she was dreaming of a bottle. Hyunjn sighed at the sight and took a mental picture, saving it forever.

Summary
Gi-hun gave a few knocks on the door in front of him, as he did every year at about this time. Ever since he and some of the other players had gotten out of the deadly Squid games alive, he had checked on them every so often, making sure they were alive and well.
But, today, Gi-hun was paying a visit to one of the people he thought he would never have needed to, due to the fact that he had murdered several of the other contestants in cold blood. It was hard for him and Myung-gi to drop grudges they had against eachother, and Min-su couldn’t even look at him.
Today, he was visiting Nam-gyu.
After-Games AU where Gi-hun checks in on Nam-gyu, only to find out something rather troubling about his fellow survivor.

Summary
[SPOILERS!]
You are a loved one from borrowed memories, a flicker of salvation, a source of devastating desire; you're a fragment of the man who loved his music, loved his paintings, loved him, and yet you, too, are merely a painted copy of what Verso never had.
Real or fake, you are prepared to live and die for him.
But when the Chroma settles and the Canvas falls into the hands of an idealistic tyrantess, maybe sharing in replicant emptiness is liberation; perhaps you can reminisce together, guiltlessly dream of time shared in life and death, ponder the silver-linings of a miserable future.
Maybe you'll whisper of ways to make it all disappear, too.
