Request 1 by NewEyes
Squid Game (TV 2021)
Kang Sae-byeok, Ji-yeong (Squid Game)

DNW:
Suicide
Sick fic and anything related to COVID-19
Modern day AUs (high school, coffee shop etc.)/omegaverse/soulmate. "What if x happened", missing scenes and canon divergence is fine though.
On page non-con. Dubcon is okay; things like under the influence, characters misrepresenting themselves, consent that is not explicit, no turns to yes is fine. Also non-con as back story off page is fine. I don't want formal negotiated BDSM (but rough sex is okay) + no whipping, spanking, knifeplay + feeder/eater kinks + watersports/scat
Mpreg or Pregnancy
Incest
Cheating.
No underage, but for 18+ smut etc. is fine. As a general rule, if you decide to include smut, I'd prefer not just straight up PWP.
Crack fics
2nd person unless matching canon

General Likes:
First time/getting together
UST, pining
Plotty stuff or world building
Enemy to friends/lovers or even just animosity between characters.
Misunderstandings and miscommunications (that get resolved).
Characters learning they can trust each other.
Unexpected moments of kindness and connection
Hurt/comfort
I am good with violence/language as long as it's roughly level with canon. Feel free to include.

I really enjoyed these two in canon, I'm happy if you want to go there in a shippy way. For Squid Game, I think there is a lot of room for canon divergence/missing scenes/fix-its, and hurt/comfort. Alternatively, maybe exploring a bit more of their backstory?

DNW:
Completely miserable endings with no hope.
Main protagonists character death.
Suicide
Sick fic and anything related to COVID-19
Modern day AUs (high school, coffee shop etc.)/omegaverse/soulmate. "What if x happened", missing scenes and canon divergence is fine though.
No non-con. No whipping, knifeplay, feeder/eater kinks, watersports/scat. Dubcon is fine; things like under the influence, characters misrepresenting themselves, uncertainty, consent that is not explicit, no turns to yes is fine. Rough sex is okay.
Mpreg or Pregnancy
Incest
Cheating. (for this request, a few throwaway lines is fine, or feel free to completely ignore the fact that Alex is married)
No underage, but for 18+ smut etc. is fine. As a general rule, if you decide to include smut, I'd prefer not just straight up PWP.
Crack fics
2nd person unless you are matching canon
Heavy inclusion of other IRL people that have not appeared on the show (i.e. Alex's IRL wife or similar), though a few throwaway lines etc. is fine. OCs are also fine if you need people for plot reasons.

General Likes:
First time/getting together

Really been enjoying this show lately, and happy if you want to go there in a shippy way.

Ideas (but feel free to ignore if you have something you're excited to write :));
Something behind the scenes; before show or after a show (either at the studio or home/pub etc.)?
Alex preparing for tasks? Buying certain props etc. (you want to order how many ducks!), or for a more NSFW version, maybe buying himself the longjohns lol, or 'you need how much duct tape?' or something similar. Somebody misinterpreting why Alex is buying a load of something weird.
Alex playtesting a task.
A task goes wrong somehow.
A new task of your own invention?

I've loved these books for a long time, and I really liked the show as well! Feel free to include any other non-requested characters. Something spy related or actiony would be great, either fun or serious. But I would enjoy quieter character based stuff/missing scenes as well. Also, I really love cool spy gadgets!!
