Passed pawn by Astrid21_BB

Summary
Beth Harmon.
To himself, Vasily immediately half-jokingly dubbed her a “passing pawn” and smiled at his joke with a corner of his lips, the only smile that he could allow himself in relation to her.
He wasn't afraid of Harmon. But it will be interesting to see her the moment he puts her back in her place. There was something in this, in the fact that he was the one who returned her to her place. Something that excites him in a way that is different from ordinary victories. Wrongly exciting.

Summary
This story came from me asking: “What if Alice’s brand of 'crazy' from the Queen’s Gambit series was really her having psychic abilities she wasn’t able to handle? And what if Beth’s fears about going crazy like her mother are because she has the same latent psychic abilities? And then what happens if Beth visits the haunted Overlook Hotel from The Shining?” There was so much potential for psychological horror I had to write it! It very much started out as crack!fic taken seriously but then it took on a life (afterlife?) of its own. So here is Beth being haunted by her own personal ghosts as well as those that reside at the Overlook Hotel.
If you aren't a horror fan, this is mostly psychological horror--lots of creepy atmosphere and ghosts trying to get into Beth's head. There are some disturbing images but not a huge amount of blood or violence. I hope that helps you determine if this exceeds your personal horror tolerance. I rated the story Teen. If it were a movie it would be closer to PG-13 than R I think. It's not scarier than The Shining if that helps.
Edit: This may be scarier than I originally planned--maybe even an R rating. My beta reader recommends not reading it at bedtime.

Summary
Porn captions of celebrities, characters, influencers, public figures etc.
There are varying themes throughout but maledom and dubcon content will pop up a good bit. I try to keep my stuff tonally light but those topics can supersede tone.
Disclaimer: misogyny is bad and clear consent is very important in real life. This is just dumb, porn logic nonsense and all purely fictional and not reflective of my actual views of the world. Also, all pics/gifs will be 18+. If I write about a character that isn't 18+ in canon, I will be aging them up/going by the actors' age.
I have a running short story collection (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35268832) but have started to write enough captions that I think it justifies separating them out into their own thing.
I will be releasing them in groups as "chapters". Multi part "stories" will get their own chapters; otherwise, I will just post a chunk of them as a chapter whenever I have 8 or 10 ready to publish.

Ruin Me Slowly, My Dear by Groovypalacehorselover (Annibrine)

Summary
Moscow was supposed to be the end of this persistent curiosity, yet it seemed now that it was only the mouth of the pitfall that would lead him to an early grave. Beth Harmon was a luminary- a flame that had caught Vasily in a choke-hold. From the moment he saw her eyes darken with the same hunger and madness that he holds- fervently staring at him as though she wanted to peel open his skin- he knew that she was going to dethrone him. But she was never supposed to be a linchpin. His life was meant to revolve around keeping himself superior to her, but instead he found it revolving around her.
He thought that getting bested would finally snuff out these dangerous feelings. But as he held her warm lithe form against his body- the sound of applause echoing around them like thunder; Vasily Borgov, consciously for the first time, was reminded of the fact that Beth Harmon was a beautiful woman.
— ✧ —
Five times Borgov thought of Beth's features in a way that made his stomach weak, and one time when he decided to finally do something about it.

Summary
“I’m here, Beth. Right here.” He gets on top of her, hovering just above her on one elbow, pinning her down with his eyes.
She swallows, licks her lips underneath the gravity of his gaze.
“So whatever the fuck you’re thinking—it’s bullshit,” says Benny. “You got me."

Also I totally ignored/messed around with the timeline. Everything happened but I didn't do the math on how accurate my story would be.

Summary
She should’ve called him when she knew. Said, “Hey, Benny, so a funny thing happened.” But Beth has only ever been good at doing the easy thing. Or perhaps just very bad at doing the hard thing.
One thing that’s infinitely preferable to coming up with the right words is saying no words at all. One thing that’s infinitely preferable to taking a leap of faith is doing things the way you always have. The devil you know.
Or, Beth gets pregnant in New York. She doesn't tell Benny.

Summary
Well, here is a weird AU fanfic. I'm a big fan of Queen's Gambit. For all purposes, I preferred using "Beth Harmon" instead of Y/N because it helps me write. But it's up to you to imagine Beth or yourself!!

Summary
Benny Watts was an aggravating piece of work that embedded its way beneath your skin and stayed there. It was always about winning with Benny, wasn't it? He never told you things straight, he never confronted the aching tension, he never did more than tease, but he always played with the line. It was the game. The game to fluster, to flirt and to achieve.
But when things were a game, what was real and what was fake? -

Calling him up out of nowhere is a very Beth thing to do. A Queen’s Gambit if ever there was one. An offered free pawn.
And yeah, yeah, he’s going to take it.

Summary
In which Beth Harmon is born several years later than in canon, and a five-year-old orphan beating Harry Beltik gives the world of chess a new prodigy to obsess over. And, in Miss Deardorff's eye, who better to raise a prodigy than a former one?
After making a bet with Beltik of all people, Benny's left with a challenge: turn Beth Harmon into the US World Champion within the next five years.
But Benny's a gambler, and Beth's far too ambitious for her age.
So, later on, they go higher - they go global.
