“Night shifts require stamina, flexibility, commitment and the ability to pace yourself just right,” Hilton tells Beth. He frowns. “It’s sexier when Benny does the spiel.”
“Is it,” Cleo says drily.

Summary
“José Capablanca was a prodigy and lived his life handed to him on a silver platter, eschewed books and formal study for food and women and booze. They say the coroner put his ego as the cause of death. Alekhine played obsessively for years and years, became World Champion and then the alcoholic that showed up to every game drunk. His dead body was found hunched over a chess board. At least Beth isn’t like them.”
“Harry?”
“Yeah?”
“Shut up.”

Summary
Tally hasn’t thought much about the future in a long time, maybe never, not past the pretty operation and being happy and light forever, which hasn’t been anything close to her reality in such a long time anyway. It’s not like specials are made for the long term. But the few times that Tally has thought about it, scraped enough of herself together to wonder what the next years might be like, Shay is always there.

Summary
Beth stares at Bill in abject horror across the polished expanse of his desk. “No,” she says, “absolutely not.”
Bill spreads his hands. “I’m sorry, Beth, but there’s nothing more I can do. If you want to go on tour this summer, this is your only option.”
Or, the Band AU some people did actually ask for.

Summary
Runs the canon of Beth and Benny's relationship in the series, with alternating POV. This is a "fill-in-the-gaps" type of work; trying to build on events from the show without retelling them. It will have a happy ending, I swear.

It wasn’t like that at all.
She had suspected, long before Benny Watts, that sex was worth trying. It followed logically from the way people acted about it.

Summary
When Benny thinks of Beth, the thing that comes to mind most often was the night she’d beaten him at speed chess. The streets of New York were slick with rain, and the sound of falling water joined the usual cacophony that was the background to city life.
