* ''Tags'': Crossover, Canon Divergence, Alternate Timeline
* ''Comments'': Jeremy "WebVideo/Jerma985" Elbertson flubs a gamble shot on his infamous ''{{VideoGame/Noita}}'' stream, except in this universe, he's legally obligated to pay it. Now $2,500,000,000 in the hole, he aims to make a paltry 1.54% dent into his debt by participating in a high-stakes South Korean survival game. And unlike that ''Noita'' stream, he's dead set on winning this one.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34275862 we that are ruined (yet forever we'll try)]]'', by Firedawn and ladyqueerfoot
*Recommended by: superice
*''Status'': Ongoing
*''Synopsis'': A fic where Ji-yeong and Sae-byeok both survive the marble game, because the final showdown was just as Sang-woo had predicted— teams versus teams. Everything changes from there, as Ji-yeong and Sae-byeok fight through the rest of the games, and deal with the repercussions of falling for each other. Both a character study and a survival story.
*''Pairing'': Ji-yeong/Sae-byeok
*''Tags'': Fix-It, Canon Divergence, Hurt/Comfort, Explicit Sex
*''Comments'': This is the fix-it that I'd needed after episode 6. Expect flashbacks that will gut you in the feels, dynamics that will warm your heart, and characterisation even down to the minute details - Ji-yeong's, in particular, is just perfect, like her voice had been ripped from the show itself. While the concept's something that's being done a lot, this fic is something special. It also has some of the softest smut I've ever read.
