"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?

Stalemate // The Queens Gambit //Benny Watts x OC
Adelaide Carlisle had always been a careful person, never taking unnecessary risks, never being overly rebellious or irresponsible. Preferring chess and cooking over motorcycles and parties. Now 22, years after her chess career crashed and burned, her wariness has only gotten worse, now not even wanting to risk the pain of a relationship. But when the things she most fears start pushing their way into her life, will she reject them, or learn to take a few more risks, and be okay with the consequences? Would she abandon everything she'd ever told herself about love for a cocky chess prodigy with a cowboy hat and carefree charm? Or will she build her walls higher than before and choose safety instead? ---------------------------------------------------- !CW!

Forbidden Love
I slap him across the face. Then I shove him. After that, I start to punch his chest repeatedly, still crying. "I HATE YOU! YOU'RE A HORRIBLE PERSON! A HORRIBLE KING! A HORRIBLE ALPHA! AND THE WORST MATE KNOWN TO MANKIND!" As soon as I say the words, I regret it. His eyes darken until their black. He shoves me back, nearly causing me to fall down. "You are mine, Skylar. No matter how much you may hate me, you will always need me." He strokes up and down my arm, and the sparks distract me. My thoughts start to jumble up, everything mixed up. "You feel it, don't you?

Dragon Blood
"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. Or risk the extinction of her kind.Complete

Haircut (Beth Harmon X Benny Watts)
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.Complete
