AU in which Neko was taken in by the Greens before ever finding Shiro.
I guess this isn't as exciting or original as I had thought. A lot of the official K writers have made their own AU short stories (Anna in Scepter 4, Neko in Homra, Yata in Scepter 4, etc.)
But this was a fun concept to me. I feel that Neko and Nagare, if given this state of interaction, would balance each other well. Her peppiness versus his dreariness is an interesting dynamic, and I think he wouldn't oppose it.
Along those lines, Shiro and Nagare are similar in a lot of ways. Neko adores Shiro because he was who found her and accepted her. Who's to say Nagare wouldn't do the same (especially considering their mysterious history)? And if so, would Neko love Nagare the way she loves Shiro? How would the other Jungle members react to her presence? Would she mesh well with their eclectic personalities?
I hope you enjoy my take on how the world of K would be different if Neko had in fact become a Jungle member rather than a Silver clansman.
"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."

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.
