    Summary

    According to several official statements from the Soviet Union, the Reds have allegedly created a system capable of finding one's perfect match. The Soviet government now promises its citizens their one true love, the person that will never let them down or disappoint them, the person that fits them in every way like two puzzle pieces being slotted together.

    Their soulmate, if you will.

    Or: CIA officer Walter de Courcey goes undercover in the USSR, and gets more than what he's bargained for.

    Summary

    or

    Florence wants women's chess covered by Global. Walter thinks he knows exactly how to do it. The American and The Russian are made to host the show, much to Freddie's joy and Anatoly's despair.

    Summary

    Winter, 2022. Florence Vassy is 71. The World Chess Championships in Merano and Bangkok took place 38 years ago.

    Yevgenia Sergievskaya is a tired music teacher in England. She is on strike. She wants something more than all of this.

    Mischa Sergievsky is a chess player in New York. He is visiting Yevgenia after a long time apart. He has (mostly) put his past behind him.

    Surely they are all far enough away from any reminder of the events of the 80s, right?

    Summary

    It was weird, calling herself a parent. She didn’t really feel like she deserved to be called that, but there was no other word she could think of for what she was. She certainly loved the girls like her own, but she didn’t know if they thought of her like that.

    EDIT: This fic has been on pause for several months. The only way I can see myself continuing this is to completely re-write it. This will stay up for further updating but know it is not the final version :)

    Summary

    Katya scrutinizes the board. “Pawn is bad,” she says, finally. Then, in Russian, “weak.”

    Freddie looks so uncharacteristically calm, so still—the fidgeting from earlier is gone. He smiles. “It looks weak,” he says. “But there are a lot of pawns. They’re strong together.”
