Summary
Being the best at everything came naturally to Diego: Horse racing, studies, chess, being a bitch. He was the best in year 12 at being the best. That was until he noticed his grades drop, his chess.com ELO plummet and his equestrian skills fall.
All because of a certain someone: someone beautiful and handsome at the same time. Someone he can't get out of his head—to the demise of his roommate.

Summary
When the White King discovers that the Red Queendom intends to assassinate his only daughter, he trusts Jest to act as the princess' guard. The White Queen does not want her daughter to feel frightened, so she suggests Jest court the princess and attribute his proximity to her as affection rather than a means of protection (she's giddy to see them get along!). When Jest hesitates to agree to this arrangement, the White Queen makes this promise: if he marries Princess Lily, he can leave his Rook duties behind him.
But what if the princess knew how to protect herself? Jest's mind races: with a new Queen, they could end the war. With the war over, he could live a life of ease... the life he’s always wanted. And without having to marry a stranger.
Jest's life may have ended in the land of Hearts, but this is his life as a Rook (and jester?) in Chess.!!! The story is finished! New chapters drop Tuesday and Friday! !!!

Summary
Looking up to the sound of what he guessed had to be Nines then coming out of the hallway he sat up a bit straighter, vividly aware of what he looked like.
“Hi.” Nines stood with a hand lightly grabbing onto the wall as he looked Gavin up and down taking in his probably wrecked appearance, hair standing weirdly and clothes wrinkled as he sat on the floor still.
“Uh,” Gavin cleared his throat when it didn’t work for a moment, trying not to feel too embarrassed, “Hey, when’d you get up?”
“Not long before you don’t worry, Princess was chewing on my hair, she looked hungry.” Nines was still in his clothes from the day before, somehow less messed up than Gavin was, hair smoothed back a bit but still skewed.
“Oh my god, that fuckin’ cat.” Gavin groaned and turned his head to the side a bit to fall into the couch cushions, only Princess would make him seem like he didn’t feed her, “You didn’t have to, she gets whiny in the morning, sorry ‘bout that.”
OR:
A little human au for Gavin and Nines, mostly domestic and fluff centered getting-together fic.

Summary
Lady Taziri of House Shiguren was raised among shifting squares the Fire Nation colonies carved into Earth Kingdom soil. Being the daughter of a diplomat, she learned early that survival was dependent on position, especially when one cannot command the elements.
So when the war ended, the board simply reset.
To stabilize a fragile peace, she is forced into a political marriage with Fire Lord Zuko as a necessary sacrifice. Arriving not as a bride, but a pawn.
Zuko hates this too. He understands the rules, but not the game, a king placed too early, trying not to become the one who burned the board before him. He knows what political marriages do to people, his mother was testament of that. But the colonies are fracturing, the peace is crumbling, and his advisors are watching.
She plays the long game, He plays honestly. Neither is truly wrong, and that is the problem.
However Zuko seems to forget that on the board, only position matters.
And she is already moving to the other side.
══════════════════════{TL;DR} : Is Fire Lord Zuko or his wife the lamb being led to slaughter?

Summary
“My name is Veritas Ratio.”
It was a pointless offering. What good was the name of a scholar to a boy in iron shackles? Soon, the boy would procure another wound, and this time, Ratio would not be there to halt the infection. He was a man of vast influence, intellect, and interest, yet sitting on the edge of this cot, he had never felt so utterly powerless.
The clever boy raised a hand to his own chest, his gemstone eyes catching the dim light. “Kakavasha.”
A decade after the IPC declares sovereignty over Sigonia-IV, Dr. Veritas Ratio accompanies Oswaldo Schneider on a diplomatic mission to discuss reparations. Stepping into the wrong door, Ratio expects to find a local liaison. Instead, he finds a bleeding Avgin boy and a circular chessboard.

Summary
Durante más de un siglo, dos reinos han jugado la misma partida: Avanzan por el tablero, atacan a los enemigos y sacrifican a sus peones.
Izuku Midoriya nunca fue especial. No era estratega, ni noble, ni héroe, sólo un soldado, un peón más avanzando casilla por casilla hacia una muerte segura e insignificante. Fue enviado al frente de la guerra, sin promesas de gloria o sobrevivir.
Nadie esperaba nada de él... Hasta que llega demasiado lejos.
En un mundo donde las reglas del ajedrez rigen el destino, alcanzar el final del tablero no significa libertad... significa transformarse en algo mucho más poderoso de lo que jamás pensó ser.
Para un soldado como él, llegar al otro lado del tablero significa pasar de peón a reina.
