    Summary

    Porn captions of celebrities, characters, influencers, public figures etc.

    There are varying themes throughout but maledom and dubcon content will pop up a good bit. I try to keep my stuff tonally light but those topics can supersede tone.

    Disclaimer: misogyny is bad and clear consent is very important in real life. This is just dumb, porn logic nonsense and all purely fictional and not reflective of my actual views of the world. Also, all pics/gifs will be 18+. If I write about a character that isn't 18+ in canon, I will be aging them up/going by the actors' age.

    I have a running short story collection (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35268832) but have started to write enough captions that I think it justifies separating them out into their own thing.

    I will be releasing them in groups as "chapters". Multi part "stories" will get their own chapters; otherwise, I will just post a chunk of them as a chapter whenever I have 8 or 10 ready to publish.

    Summary

    When her mother deliberately crashes their car, it ends Beth’s life as she knows it and strands her at Methuen Home. She has yet to learn of the chain of events this will set in motion. The one that will start with her introduction to the world of chess, give her a new mother, and take her far beyond the borders of Lexington.

    As she works her way towards the very centre of that world, she meets numerous other people along the way. But among weak opponents, friendships, rivalries, and hardships there is one person who sticks out from among them all. Vasily Borgov, the intimidating World Champion from the Soviet Union with a face that is much harder to read than the sixty-four squares he rules over, catches her eyes from the start and she finds it impossible to look away.

    Or, we follow Beth through canon and into the years beyond as she struggles with finding her place in the world, creating bonds with others, and substance abuse, but also finds the good things in life, such as success, friendship, and love.

    Summary

    The door slammed loudly, the light from the hotel hallway now extinguished. There was a plunge of darkness momentarily, before, in blue lettering, the title was displayed.

    ‘The Queen’s Gambit.’

    Benny smiled. So this is about chess, then. This just got all the more interesting…

    Summary

    Benny thinks about chess during sex to avoid other thoughts. Scarier thoughts. Thoughts that involve Beth, and the future, and his heart.

    Summary

    The nights have lost their terrors ever since Beth had first seen Mr. Shaibel play. With chess to occupy her mind and the board on the ceiling to watch over her, there was nothing to be scared of anymore - at least in those few sacred hours before going to sleep. No matter how dark the night, Beth would be protected.

    But times have changed. Now, 15 years after that fateful day in Methuen's cellar, Beth's ceiling is blank, her thoughts restless and the nights her worst enemy.

    OR

    Beth struggles with depression, slowly feeling herself lose the passion that has defined her for years.

    Summary

    “You’re not real,” He croaks out once his insides finally stop trying to tear themselves out of him.

    She shrugs and pulls her knees to her chest.

    “I’m not sure,” She admits. “I’m definitely dead.”

    Benny nods and leans his head back against the cold concrete of the wall.

    “You’re definitely dead.”

    “I guess I won’t need the air mattress then.”

    aka Beth is a ghost and Benny is having a hard time accepting it.

    Summary

    "Do you still like my hair?"

    Beth stared at him and tried to understand what was going on. Bennys hand was clasped around her arm, holding her in place.

    "What happened to your no-sex-rule?"

    "I... changed my mind."

    Summary

    This story came from me asking: “What if Alice’s brand of 'crazy' from the Queen’s Gambit series was really her having psychic abilities she wasn’t able to handle? And what if Beth’s fears about going crazy like her mother are because she has the same latent psychic abilities? And then what happens if Beth visits the haunted Overlook Hotel from The Shining?” There was so much potential for psychological horror I had to write it! It very much started out as crack!fic taken seriously but then it took on a life (afterlife?) of its own. So here is Beth being haunted by her own personal ghosts as well as those that reside at the Overlook Hotel.

    If you aren't a horror fan, this is mostly psychological horror--lots of creepy atmosphere and ghosts trying to get into Beth's head. There are some disturbing images but not a huge amount of blood or violence. I hope that helps you determine if this exceeds your personal horror tolerance. I rated the story Teen. If it were a movie it would be closer to PG-13 than R I think. It's not scarier than The Shining if that helps.

    Edit: This may be scarier than I originally planned--maybe even an R rating. My beta reader recommends not reading it at bedtime.

    Summary

    Elizabeth Harmon caused headlines when she defected to the USSR, after the Moscow Invitational to marry her longtime lover, Vasily Borgov. A love story for the ages, the newspapers said.

    Only that wasn’t the truth.

    Beth and Borgov find themselves pawns in a political game, and the center of an obsession born during World War II, and they only have each other to rely on.

    Summary

    The universe of ‘Life and Love’ seen through Vasily Borgov’s eyes, starting when he is a young child and discovers chess. As time then goes by, he will meet both new and familiar faces as he tries to find his place in life and a sense of freedom.

    First chapter is through Ekaterina Borgova's pov (Vasily's mother) and can be read as a standalone, but after that we get into ‘Life and Love’ spoiler territory, so please read that first for chapter 2 and onwards.

    Summary

    This will be an archive for my captions and short stories that revolve around seduction and/or romance. All of these will be pulled from larger archives of short stories (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35268832) and captions (https://archiveofourown.org/works/47833426), but I have some n/c stories over there and I want to make my more cuddly work more accessible for people. I almost exclusively write about celebs/influencers/characters, but sometimes they are more visual inspo with totally different characters attached and sometimes they are roughly that celeb/character but in a different role, I guess kind of in an AU.

    Summary

    Beth returning from Moscow and making things right with Benny properly. Or Beth getting both, the World Championship and the guy.

       Benny chuckles through his teeth.

       ‘I made a bundle on you. I told you I knew you'd win.’

       ‘You only helped me because of your bets?’

       ‘I did it because I have faith in you.’

       Beth senses a warm tingle in her cheeks.

       ‘You put your money on it,’ she pauses, ‘so you really do, huh?’
