Chess: The Musical Actor's Fund of America. Short Anatoly musing piece.

In which Frederick Trumper, forearmed with visions of the future, uses his knowledge to help others and make a better present. Just kidding, this is Freddie we're talking about. [WDLF gift for weakinteraction.]

The pawn is the soul of chess. (Dark Fic Exchange 2021 gift for SegaBarrett.)

Florence leaves the same night that the international press announces the winner of the 1989 world chess championship. (Past Anatoly Sergievsky/Florence Vassy, kinda angsty. Rated T for language)

After a tragic car accident, Freddie is left to raise Florence and Anatoly's son. How will he cope as the single father of a pre-teen? How will the two live together when they are coming apart at the seams? Warning:MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH

"You're extraterrestrial beings," said Florence numbly. "Why would you want to learn chess?" [Just Married 2020 gift for SegaBarrett.]

It's 1956 and in three different parts of the world, four children sit in front of a chessboard, not knowing the pieces are already in place for the day they all will meet.

Anatoly doesn't have a lot of talents. But he's very, very good at one thing, and if the stories are true, that might be just the skill he needs. [Flash exchange gift for Morbane.]

From the chess columns of the New York Times. [Worldbuilding 2019 gift for weakinteraction.]

Half of the worlds are watching. [Space AU, Chocolate Box 2019 treat for apatternedfever.]

"The storm had broken ten minutes ago. Although that was putting it rather catastrophically. On the whole the sky's wrath built slowly, more lazy than ominous in Florence's mind. Yet the tension in the room seemed something living, passing her rudely by to curl around Freddie's rigid form like an unwelcome lover."

What does Svetlana represent to the others in Bangkok? A series of drabbles about what she is - pawn, woman, wife - to each of the other characters. So far: Molokov, Anatoly, Florence, Freddie, and Walter. Viigand (?) is next.

Florence gets roped into giving an interview. Frederick's mother sees the broadcast. [Chocolate Box 2018 gift for SegaBarrett.]

What happened before Chess? And what happened after? Story following Florence Vassy as she enters the world of competitive chess through events after Anatoly's return to the Soviet Union. Rated T for domestic violence and mature-ish content

If nothing else, Svetlana is an actress: the first meeting with Anatoly and Florence in Bangkok.

After the championship, Florence waits if her father is still alive. She's moving to an island of Scotland to get away from the memories she and Anatoly made. But what if she can't get all of the memories to go away? Freddie/Florence friendship, possible Florence/Anatoly

You used to see all those colours, but now your world is only black and white... and red.

He sleeps beside her, peaceful for once, unaware of the thoughts wending through her mind.

Poetry for the openminded

(Anatoly POV) After his return from Bangkok, Anatoly defends his title in England, although chess is the least of his worries.

Svetlana and Anatoly consider their lives and loves following Anatoly's return to Russia.

Things already aren't going well, and then Svetlana comes to Bangkok... In which Freddie is either somehow hotter after a year apart, or Florence has just been in denial this whole time. Maybe both. Explicit. Oneshot.

What happened when Anatoly went back to Svetlana? Was it a happy relationship back in the Soviet Union? What if Svetlana had a secret? Or two? What if she still had love? Then who would that love be coming from? Rated T for domestic violence

Pre-Chess. Florence drags Freddie to meet her parents, and he plays nice... or tries to. Florence/Freddie. Oneshot.

Anatoly flips the board and regrets it immediately. Freddie is willing to take the fall - for a favor. Kings. Anatoly/Freddie. Explicit. Oneshot.
