Bethharmon Stories

Life is like chess; unpredictable. The ending depends on every move or choice you make. Playing chess has always been an escape from life. But perhaps I should face the fact that I'm a human being with feelings, feelings for a certain blonde chess player. After dividing Borkov that's all I can think about; Benny Watts. However is it possible for two competitive chess players to make things work? {THIS STORY CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT}

They both irritated each other deeply, but secretly and subtlety grew a liking to one another. How long will it take until one of them breaks? (disclaimer: I do not own any of the Queens Gambit characters except Marie, which i think is pretty obvious.)

"What did you do ?" Beth giggled quitely. "I merely stole a small kiss, I was certain that he was gonna die of a heart attack." She whispered with an euphoric grin. She kissed boys before but he excited her in a way no one else had before. __ After a wild night in Las Vegas, Marceline Wheatley and Benny Watts have to face the consequences of their flirt.

in the world of chess, brilliance often comes with a price-loneliness, obsession, and the constant need to prove oneself. for milana petrova, a prodigious player born into a legacy of grandmasters, the chessboard is her canvas. each move is a brushstroke, precise and deliberate, painting a vision only she can see. calculating yet instinctive, she maneuvers each match as though she already knows where the pieces will fall. yet behind her quiet confidence lies the burden of escaping her parents' control and carving out her own identity in a world where every move feels like a test. then there's benny watts-charming, cocky, and unorthodox. he's a chess prodigy who thrives on unpredictability, his bravado masking his own insecurities. when their paths first cross in 1962, lana becomes the one opponent who rattles his confidence. her reserved nature and unnerving precision create a tension he can't shake, and he's drawn to her for reasons beyond the game. what begins as a rivalry shifts into something more complicated as their lives intertwine over the years. from late-night chess matches to stolen moments filled with unspoken truths, lana and benny push each other in ways neither expects. their connection deepens, but so does the weight of their unspoken fears and unresolved tensions.

Idk I'll put something smushy and cute here later

The Queen's Gambit

Ron read about Beth Harmon first in the Daily Prophet the year before he got his Hogwarts letter. Caught up in competition with his siblings like always, he was inspired. He saw himself on the front page. Six years later, he is a fifth year at Hogwarts, and it is the year of the Triwizard chess tournament. The schools competing this year are Hogwarts, Ilvermorny, and Pigfarts.

This story is of Beth Harmon in 'The Queens Gambit.' ( The Netflix original ) None of these characters belong to me, and I am only using them for writing purposes. I hope you enjoy this book and what I interpret what happened between Benny Watts and Beth Harmon !

"That was years ago!" Beth shook her head angrily, glaring at him across the hotel room. "You don't get to use this against me anymore. I've gotten better- I'm better on my own" Benny scoffed, "Clearly" he said with a sarcastic tone. He stared over at her, refusing to let himself break. There was press outside, and he didn't want to storm out of here and cause a scene. Beth didn't respond, the two locking their fiery eyes between each other. No one said anything. There was nothing to say. After these years, they've been rivals. They hadn't gotten involved with each other again. Why did that have to change? "What's so wrong with me caring?" He asked "Didn't think we needed that anymore" "Me neither, but here we are" He said and opened his arms as if to show the situation physically Beth put her hand to her mouth, biting her nails and keeping eye contact with him. "Here we are" she said and dropped her arms to her side. Taking place 5 years after Beth became a World Champion, she still occupies herself with chess tournaments within the states. Her only worthwhile competitor is the pirate himself, Benny Watts. They haven't spoken since Moscow, but their rivalry hasn't allowed the once relationship to entirely fade away. The media covers every story, every game, every tournament; who will be the King or Queen of chess?
