In a world built on blood and games, she was never meant to live.
When a baby is born in the heart of the Squid Games - a place designed for death, not life - two men find themselves forever changed. Seong Gi-hun, the reluctant victor, broken but searching for meaning, and Hwang In-ho, the enigmatic Front Man, cold and calculating behind a mask, are forced into an impossible choice: turn away from innocence... or protect it.
Bound together by a child they never expected, Gi-hun and In-ho forge a fragile, uneasy bond - one built on guilt, survival, and something neither of them dares call love. As the Games continue in the background, Caitlin, a bright-eyed baby with dirty blonde curls and a scream that rivals any gunshot, becomes the thread that ties them to humanity... and to each other.
But love doesn't erase the past. And in a world where everything pure is punished, how long can they keep her safe?
Tender, brutal, and quietly redemptive, No Place for Children is a haunting story of found family, unexpected fatherhood, and what it means to love when you were never taught how.
A fanfic of Gi-hun x In-ho after the rebellion. The two are filled with conflicting and mixed emotions about their complicated relationship. NSFW warning.
