    "A game of chess, Detective. I assume you know how to play. You win, and you and your family may leave freely. win, and you take your place as my heir and I dispose of the others as I see fit."

    Tim stopped breathing.

    Ra's spread his hands, still smiling that condescending crocodile grin. "Our skills are evenly matched. The challenge is more than fair."

    Summary

    Wrong Turn 'verse grew out of my kinkmeme action/comedy/UST-fest fic, Wrong Turn. I wrote a post-manga sequel to it, No Small Injury. NSI was plotted out in 2009, around the release of Chapter 98 of the manga. Some aspects of its post-manga plot inevitably got jossed. After finishing NSI, I worked out exactly where my 'verse diverged from canon events, and hammered Wrong Turn 'verse into a logical canon divergence 'verse. Much can be summed up as: "What if Olivia Armstrong hadn't survived the Promised Day?" Some of the ending AU is explored in stories, particularly the chapterfics and Curtain Call.

    Summary

    “Did you know that with coffee, you can perform better in rapid time-control chess games too? You know, since it’s a stimulant, it makes you a little more speedy. So maybe I should try a few games. I love being stimulated.”

    OR

    When Park Jimin abandons his soulless corporate job to sling coffee at his friends’ café, he doesn’t expect to meet the guy of his dreams in the form of the mysterious but friendly chess player, Jeon Jungkook. And he certainly didn’t expect the world of chess to be so filled with drama, grudges, secrets, and petty rivalries.

    (And also don't be afraid of some of the warnings, they apply to just one part of this series, most of these are lighthearted)

    Summary

    “Any challenge is a worthwhile endeavor,” Varka replies. “But if you’re worried about being fair or giving me a handicap…” Flins certainly hadn’t said that, but now he’s curious, and he grows more curious as Varka withdraws a scrap of fabric from one pocket. “Play blindfolded.”

    The challenge whets Flins’s appetite. He isn’t the kind of fae who exults in games of chance but rather ones of wit and strategy, and he was fond of collecting intelligent men like glittering baubles at the Belyi Tsar’s court. “If I am to handicap myself, then I should receive a greater reward if I win, don’t you think?” he asks, the words out of his mouth before he can help them, for he, like all fae, loves a bargain.

    When a bad storm strands Varka at Flins's lighthouse, the two play chess to pass the time. After beating Varka twice, Flins agrees to play with a blindfold, provided the loser owe the winner a boon.

    Summary

    Love is a lot like surgery: sometimes you have to take risks to succeed and most times there are unexpected side effects.

    Harry is back in a hospital room after an Auror sting gone wrong and nobody is amused at this point. It's starting to become somewhat of a familiar scene for Ron and Hermione. This time his healer is one Draco Malfoy so it's actually a /little/ funny when something goes wrong during recovery.

      Bookmark Notes:

      Chess metaphor story that feels a little like dissociative 3rd person because we're stylistically being told what's going on rather than see it play out which is one of my favorite styles actually and the repetitive words with the guiltguiltguilt is really good because it feels like its spilling over. The difference in perspectives was really enjoyable, with them like having the love hate relationship and them both thinking of themselves as selfish but also being intentionally toxic its just so good I feel like I have to reread and actually analyze it from a scholarly perspective because its combining alot of my favorite sorta niche things. And I didnt even mention the words guiding us through it with the little summary and metaphor and how its not the word detached but I cant think of a better one rn, adding on to that kinda viewer feeling but in such a pleasant way. The open ending too with the 6 moves to mate but obviously race metaphor and just love. My all time fav f1 ship is brocedes and the reason I like them so much is their toxicity so to see the kinda mirror of that with that same divide between love and hate, ooo its just the good stuff!

      Fav lines and comments:
      Lando’s nice and kind, and he’s everything Oscar wants to but can never actually be. Lando talks him up in interviews and excuses and excuses him, great race from the both of us, Oscar’s driving was mega, and Oscar doesn’t actually deserve it. He can’t help the pulls in the corners of his mouth, and he doesn’t deserve it. (oh Oscar i understand you)

      “Please say something,” 
      “What do you want me to say?” 
      Oscar clenches his fist, dull and measured pain, a perfect picture of control that Lando could draw instead, realism if he likes that genre. Maybe he likes fantasy and their silhouettes dancing together, the black-and-white image of something perfect, but Oscar can’t help but think that if they turned on the lights, maybe they’d see all the mismatched colours. “Just— something.”
      “I love you.” (theyre in love but hearing it being painful not satisfying like its supposed to be is just truely one of my fav things because like I just love when people flip things on their head)

      It reminds him of someone firstly, and then his team as second, and Oscar imagines for the pH to be sour, like the marrow in his bones and the spit on his tongue and the tears in his eyes. 
      He wonders if Lando sees him at all, or if he just stares right through him. Wonders if when Oscar blinks it’s just static, too. 
      He wonders how far Lando will let him take it. How much Lando will give him before it simply becomes too much.(this is so unrelated but I did a pH lab today and chem mention🥰, but also the corruption of your very being)

      obverse
      noun
      • 1. the side of a coin or medal bearing the head or principal design.
      • 2. the opposite or counterpart of a fact or truth.
      • “being lovers is the obverse of being rivals.”(duality)

      know
      verb
      • 1. be aware of through observation, inquiry, or information.
      • 2. have developed a relationship with (someone) through meeting and spending time with them; be familiar or friendly with.
      • 3. recognise (someone or something).
      • “he doesn’t know him anymore.” (pain)

      He wants this championship more than he wants Lando, he thinks, but he would be lying. Always lying and always jealous. He moves the black queen to h5, check. (really just appreciate the chess storytelling.)

      reverse
      noun
      • 1. the side of a coin or medal bearing the secondary design.
      • 2. the opposite to that previously stated.
      • “i love you.”(say it back pls oscar)

      Oscar’s mouth moves in a pattern Lando recognises from all they’ve been through these past years. His tongue placed gently behind his teeth, letting go, tongue on the roof of his mouth, the shape of someone Lando knows that Oscar wishes he could love even as they enter the afterlife. Like the person guarding the gates of hell would ever let them enter together.
      There are things in life Lando wants but cannot have. There are things in life Oscar wants but cannot have, and Lando’s unsurety of it, of Oscar’s wants, increases with each passing day.
      The thought that Oscar may not be the person Lando wants him to be. The thought that this may all be for nothing. 
      Lando knocks on the rotten, wooden table before standing and leaving. Just for good luck. 
      He just needs to keep winning. (the layers of luck for them and the championship)

      Not to self watch chess games mentioned at end later

    Summary

    When Jim gets Spock to sign on as his first officer, the last thing he expects is to be handed a classified medical dispensation form. Because Spock’s going to be sick, and he knows it, and the only solution will be to haul ass back to New Vulcan. Desperate for details, Jim concocts a plan. But the more time he spends befriending Spock, the less he can deny his love for his Vulcan first officer. Because Jim might not know what exactly is going to happen to Spock, but he does know one thing: he’ll do absolutely anything to keep him by his side.
