Oh yes, we are returning to my roots this season with a bit of fun non-comital writing! Sometimes, I just love characters so much that I want to see them more, even if their official story has ended. This is based on a popular romance game (don't @ me, they are my guilty pleasure!) Piofiore: Fate Memories, an old Italian mafia theme with supernatural undertones. This story follows my personal favorite headcanon, a love triangle between 2 of the LI (love interests) Dante Falzone and Nicola Francesca, and the MC (main character). She's fated to be with one of them according to the Church...but neither of them wants her to end up like the last woman who held her title, who died under mysterious circumstances. Even if it means sabotaging their friendships and keeping secrets from her.
"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
OR
Y/n wakes up in the deadly Squid Game, surrounded by strangers and fighting to survive. What she doesn't know is that the mysterious Frontman is watching her every move through the cameras- and she's caught his attention.
