Summary
An en passant capture can only be made by another pawn, and it is only possible on the move immediately after the enemy pawn lands shoulder-to-shoulder with his opponent.
Nine days before the end of Draco’s probation, a grievously injured Auror Potter crashes through the roof of the Malfoy Manor and lands in Draco’s arms.
It’s Draco’s first capture of the game.
Or maybe it’s the other way around.

Summary
You’ve timed it, once. Out of idle curiosity. How long it takes Superman to cross the city versus how long Clark Kent takes to come back from lunch.
The numbers line up beautifully.
You don’t say anything. Why would you?
You did scoff, though, when you read Clark Kent’s interview with Superman. An exclusive. You rolled your eyes at the byline. There was lazy, and then there was lazy.
Or
Superman somehow becomes your friend in between chess games, instant coffee, and Mario Kart.Or
You know a secret about Superman. That's ok, he knows a secret about you too. -

Summary
Kaveh just wanted to finish his architectural projects, pay off his debts, and maybe enjoy some alcohol without someone ruining his day.
Instead, he’s getting interrogated by an amateur kidnapper who won’t take no for an answer, playing chess with the same amateur who definitely has ulterior motives, and realizing that, maybe, he’s stumbled headfirst into a conspiracy way above his pay grade.
Oh, and the not-so-amateur kidnapper? He’s everywhere.
(Or: Kaveh makes one wrong turn and ends up accidentally kidnapped. Somehow, it's less stressful than dealing with his clients.)

Nest is bird’s safe haven but that’s not what wings are made for by Noa_1707
Fandoms: 文豪ストレイドッグス | Bungou Stray Dogs

Summary
Eye-patch came off. Scarcely ever did, and each time Fyodor was oddly charmed by Nikolai’s mismatched eyes. Whether one, or perhaps both, were contact lenses or heterochromia was natural, that he couldn't know – seldom is the line dividing truth from lies set in stone, very much like the one separating sanity from utter madness – living and breathing example of the fallacy was right in front of his eyes.
Nikolai rested chin on a palm and leaned forwards. “Tell me Dos-kun, what do you think is the worse”, he murmured in equally sentimental and derisive tone, as if vacillating between scorn and affections. Despite the sorrowful smile there was something in Nikolai’s expression that alarmed.
“To clip bird’s wings or to take its voice away?”
In which Nikolai, driven to brink of madness by love, saves Fyodor from death and helps him recover. Except now that he finally has Fyodor within arm’s reach he won’t be so willing to let go.

Summary
This is a three-part series that is now finally finished! So all of you 'complete-only'-readers (which I myself am, too, lol) can read it without worrying about incompletion ;)
We are following Kim and Chay's relationship after the ending of the series, and the issues they are facing - because things aren't looking too good... Chay is feeling neglected and ignored in the tower after the end of the war, and the sudden cruel break-up and betrayal from Kim doesn't help him in dealing with the new situation. So what's the best course of action? - correct: run away from home and not face your problems at all!!! Chay will have to find out if his spurt-of-the-moment decision really was such a good idea in the end...The first part can be read on its own (it has a cliffhanger in the end, but it's literally just the last paragraph that kind of teases the second and third part.) But if you don't want to read that much, you can definitely stop after part one. Part 2 and 3 belong together and are just split up because it would otherwise be a huuuuge book if they were together.
feel free to pop in and give this story a go!

Summary
James and Severus dive into the magical world, beginning rivalries, building friendships and eventually finding love.
Severus rolled his eyes, “Are you serious?”
“No,” James made a stern face, “I am James, my dear. You should know that.”
Severus hit him and laughed, “I do indeed know, James.”
“My puns simply Slytherin to any conversation,” James grinned, unfazed by the use of his first name. Severus let go of an exasperated sigh, “You are not a Slytherin.”
“And you tolerate my puns surprisingly well, Severus,” James remarked with a heart-shaped smile.
Severus rolled his eyes again, “No. They are really annoying.”Series

Rigging The Game by BitchIEatPeople
Fandoms: Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon), Helluva Boss (Web Series)
01 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Dying was a shame. Dying just as she was about to achieve her Magnum Opus was an even bigger shame, and of appendicitis no less. But oh well, it was out of her control. She just hoped she could finally catch a break in the afterlife.
Famous last words.
Now, somehow, she's the Antichrist in a cartoon she used to watch, her father is a duck-obsessed ADHD-brained mess of a man, her mother is absent at best, and she's got less than two hundred years to turn Hell into an actual centralized state before canon starts and everyone else's problems start becoming her problems.
But hey, at least she won't be bored... probably.
(Or in which, a professional chess player is reincarnated as Charlotte Morningstar, Princess of Hell, and does what anyone would do in her shoes-tear canon asunder and dance on the ashes, because she is NOT going to tip-toe around the timeline just to get disrespected by a man with a TV for a head and literally half the cast of her own damn show.)

November Country by Emberline

Summary
This fic was written for the following prompt:
November 1963: A nationwide manhunt is underway for the man suspected of killing the president. But said man manages to evade the feds in his roundabout route to North Salem, New York – where he knocks on the door of a former friend, who only hesitates for a moment before he lets him in.
Charles (who here is long before the decline depicted in DOFP and is preparing to open the school) is deeply hurt seeing Erik again: he won't leave him to be captured, but he doesn't really want him in his house, either. Erik is torn between gratitude for the protection, anger over (in his view) being dumped by Charles, and guilt over Charles's accident. (Note: Accident aside, would love if this isn't framed around Charles "forgiving" Erik for his views or actions on the beach, as often happens in reconciliation fics. :-/)
How do they find their way to some kind of understanding – and eventually, a true reunion?- Language:

Summary
He inhales sharply at his own name, as though it hurts to hear it. In the pale morning light, his skin is almost greyish, paper-thin. If Artemy reached out, he could trace the sunken shape of his cheek, the small scar of a cut across it.
“Yes, you came here,” Dankovsky says at length, scarcely over a whisper. “You’ve seen—the state of me. Veni, vidi, vici—again, there’s really nothing to say.”
There’s a pause. Artemy draws in a breath. “I won’t say it, then.”
Or; Artemy goes to the Capital.
