1970s bennywatts bennyxbeth bethandbenny bethharmon chess fanfiction forgottenlove rivalry rivals romance thequeensgambit

"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?All Rights Reserved

FALLEN by zendea14

"Sorry I'm late, I stopped for coffee and bought you-" The ice coffee in my hand quickly hits the floor the moment I turn the corner, entering Ben's office. From the way he's standing as he has his back turned to me, to his physique. I know that my eyes are not deceiving me, it's him. "Hello Aurora." He says turning around and looking straight into my eyes, as if piercing my heart. ______ It has been thirteen years since they last crossed paths, last spoke or even set their eyes on each other and in those years Aurora has kept her heart locked away in a cold, and impenetrable fortress. To protect herself from anyone who'd even try to hurt her again. Yet all it takes is one look into her eyes for him to bulldoze his way back into her life. Cy has been gone for a long time, can he really handle Aurora as she is now? Or will she prove to be a far too difficult opponent.

Haircut (Beth Harmon X Benny Watts) by ThinkSomthingNew

Almost a year after Russia, Beth Harmon returned to her bad habits. Drinking, smoking and ofcourse iridium. She pushed everyone away that she knew and maybe most of all, Benny Watts. With the little determination to live she has left she tries to rebuild bridges with her friends and lovers. And of course this doesn't go without ups and downs and a lot of chess. I fell in love with the queens gambit a week ago and literally ordered the book right after, because I'm not ready move on from this serie yet. I immediately fell in love with Benny Watts the second Beth walked up those stairs where she met him. ofcourse Benny wasn't the endgame and I wasn't happy about that so I started to write this fanfic. I hope I'm not the only one who ships benny and Beth over Townes and Beth. I don't own the characters! Amazingly written by Walter Tevis and directed by Scott Frank.

His Appointed Wife by fathy_writes

"What if the right person is also your Mr. So Wrong?" *** Her lips touched and teased and coaxed him and he felt her touch in every cell and every bone. Soft and supple, her body was around him. Everywhere. She was everywhere. He was hungry for more, but he couldn't break this sweetness. Shy and timid, she kissed like herself. All so innocent, but incredibly passionate. The kiss was gentle, yet also fire. And he couldn't help anymore. He wanted more. He pushed her back gently and her back hit the wall and he pressed himself to her amazing body. "Ah." He thought. "Can I really stay away after this?" "I can't." She thought. ~~~ A guy, a girl, a contract and sizzling sexual tension brewing between them. Is it possible for them to come out of it with zero casualties? ~~~ "I'll give you a place to stay and I'll pay you, all you have to do is to pretend to be my wife for an year, in return.

Dragon Blood by mwendlandt

"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future. As a princess and heir to the kingdom, her future was daunting enough. The fact that she turned into dragon and would be killed if anyone found out made it all the worse. So, Skylar lived in constant conflict with the beast within her, all while training to be queen one day. When a fellow king discovers her secret, she is forced to flee or put her entire family in danger. When she meets Orion, the Alpha of a dragon clan, he helps open up a whole new world to her. In this new world, Skylar discovers who she is supposed to be and what she's been hiding from. She finds the beauty of her beast and a love she only ever dreamed of. But then her new world is threatened. It becomes a matter of kill or be killed, so Skylar's new family, with the help of her old, must rise to the challenge to defeat this threat.
