    Summary

    In the heart of New Orleans, where power is a currency and loyalty is as fragile as glass, The Queen of Kings unfolds—a tale of war and sovereignty, of fate and fire, of a love both ruinous and redemptive.

    Caroline Forbes arrives in the city with a singular purpose—to restore balance to a supernatural world on the brink of collapse. But from the moment she steps onto its bloodstained streets, she becomes something far more dangerous: a disruptor, a force capable of upending the delicate game of kings and killers.

    Klaus, ever the tactician, watches her with a predator’s patience, recognizing what the others fail to see—Caroline is not a pawn in this war. She is the Queen the board was always meant to hold. His Queen.

    As the lines between ally and enemy blur, they find themselves locked in a battle of wits and wills, each piece on the board trying to outmaneuver the other, neither willing to surrender.

    But fate has already cast its die. A bond forged between Caroline and Klaus, primal and absolute, one that neither distance nor denial can sever. Danger lurks in the shadows, betrayal slithers through whispered halls, and love—twisted, inexorable—becomes the most formidable weapon of all.

    Summary

    “Now this piece is called a rook, or castle if you want.  It can move horizontally or vertically across the board, but it can’t go around other pieces.”

    Cousin Karl nodded.

    Vance paused to wonder again what the heck was happening. What was he -- head of a megachurch empire based on "old fashioned Christian morality"  -- doing at a Queer Youth Game Night?

    With his arch-nemesis Jesse...ugh...Gemstone?

    Teaching his Cousin Karl to play chess while gazing at his massive biceps and wondering if he was big everywhere?

    “This piece is called a bishop," he continued, trying to stop imagining Cousin Karl's cock.

    “Looks like a cartoon character,” Karl said with a grin.  “See his nose and mouth?

    “Well, I’ll be…now that you mentioned it, I can’t see it any other way! But it’s supposed to be bishop’s hat, like Catholic bishops, right?  He moves diagonally.”

    “So the Catholic guy can’t go straight?  He must be gay.”

    Summary

    A fan one-shot for the incredible fic "The Soulmate Hypothesis" because I really can't wait for chapter 17.

    Exiled from the Piltovan Council, with no Topside allies, a husband nowhere to be found, a daughter bound to bed by grief and pain and the other daughter in hands of a Noxian warlord, Cassandra finds herself staring at a chessboard that looks more dire with every move.
    And then Ambessa herself comes for a visit with a proposition unbeckoming of the Noxian Wolf.

    Summary

    So Fëanáro does not die cursing under the stars.
    It softens his temper a little, binds him tighter to his sons. Still, he remains himself - self-aggrandising, wilful and thorned.

    So Ñolofinwë does not lose his youngest in the battle of Lammoth, and receives weregild.
    Begrudgingly, for the good of all, he will co-operate. Yet, though a good man, he is no less proud and ambitious.

    Can they find a healthy way to co-exist? Perhaps not. They are a little too awful to one another. Still, they will try.

    Meanwhile, Elu Thingol is reasonably concerned, Artanis and Celeborn court, Findaráto is more than meets the eye, and Lúthien cannot remain uninvolved for too long, even as her own fate looms. Can a somewhat better united Beleriand stand against Morgoth?

    --
    [Yes, there is half-sibling incest, beware! But, at least in my interpretation, they barely interacted in youth, as Fëanor was mostly out of Tirion by the time Fingolfin toddled, so their social and emotional dynamic does not really have familial tones.]

    Summary

    “It’s only a year,” Shauna used to say like a mantra. “Just you wait, it’s going to fly by.”

    One year of fallout, rebuilding, and finding their way back to each other.

    Summary

    “I’m not an idiot,” Spencer continued. “I know why you did it. Rationally, it’s very easy to comprehend: Emily was in danger and you needed to get her out, and her identity and survival had to stay hidden because of the resources that Ian Doyle had. I understand all of that, I truly do. I guess I…Well when it came to us, I just didn’t expect that we were agents first and…friends second.”

    It took her a moment to process the meaning behind his words, and when she did, JJ could feel her body startle at the confidence in which he delivered such a statement. “No, Spence, that’s not—”

     

    Or

     

    After Emily comes back from Paris, JJ and Spencer find themselves on opposite sides of a checkered board, stumbling through it as they try to find their way back towards each other.
