Summary
Spencer and Aaron are brothers, but for a change, William Reid is actually a decent person. Aaron has just joined the BAU and his brother is super proud of him! Spencer is still a genius, but also a literal menace because he is actually loved.
The working title for this was: 'Hotch and Spencer are brothers and William isn't evil' so I feel like while the title I went for wasn't great, it absolutely could have been worse! -

Summary
As his eyes wandered out the second-floor window that looked out onto the green, they caught on a group of boys roughhousing and laughing under the largest sycamore tree. They were being loud enough that Shane could nearly make out what they were squawking about, but mostly he picked up on a voice with a different cadence than the rest. He couldn’t quite place the accent, but his eyes searched for the boy it belonged to. He wasn’t hard to spot, one of the tallest in their crew with his sun-kissed sinewy limbs and golden curls that caught the sunlight. Shane watched as the fabric of his t-shirt bunched and strained against his broad shoulders, how he jumped quickly away from his pinned opponent and threw his head back in laughter, and Shane imagined he could see his Adam’s apple bobbing and he wondered what it would feel like under his fingers…

Summary
So far, all forms of therapy had been unsuccessful. The Orb of Healing Light had tried to coax Bill into opening up about his childhood, his parents and the ‘2nd-Dimension Incident’, but he had refused to speak about anything deeper than his favourite food. Especially in group therapy, where Cipher either remained silent or continuously disrupted the other patients in the session. He was truly the most challenging patient they had the pleasure of dealing with so far.
Yet, a singular name continued to be mentioned within therapy sessions or in passing conversation. Often Bill cursed his name, but he was undeniably attached to this mortal, appearing to reminisce upon past chess games or torture. One thing was for certain, however. The triangle harboured an attachment to Stanford Pines.
This was something that The Orb felt that they could work with.
Or: A rather long Bill Cipher redemption fic that begins with him inside the Theraprism and ends up with him living with the Pines family.

Summary
Bulma Briefs and Seto Kaiba are brilliant, competitive, catastrophically compatible, and incapable of leaving each other alone.

The monsters are real. Unbeknownst to everyone, the danger is too.
Ryou Bakura arrives with the Millennium Ring, an ancient spirit, and an increasingly consuming attraction to the bride.
The Arena’s technology is unstable. The Millennium Items are awake. Something ancient is calling to Seto Kaiba from beneath the arena floor.

Summary
Part 1: Openings
The first phase of the game; the careful development of pieces and the first declaration of intention. A good opening does not merely begin a game; it asks what kind of game this is going to become.
The World Chess Championship. Reykjavík, 1972.
Shane Hollander has come to take the title. Ilya Rozanov has come to defend it.
Between them lie twenty-four games, the weight of two superpowers, and a world determined to make the chessboard settle the argument between democracy and communism.
In a city of handlers, journalists and listening rooms, every glance may be noticed, every word carried back, and wanting the wrong man can look dangerously like betrayal.

“Because they think your rule will bring stability as your father’s did.”
Matthias lifted his pawn and slammed it down.
“Temper,” Mihaly chided, concealing his grin. He had observed Matthias enough to know when his fits of pique were real and when they were manipulative — or when, like now, they were both.
The new king of Hungary and his regent play a game of chess.

Summary
So Fëanáro does not die cursing under the stars.
It softens his temper a mite; binds him tighter to his sons. Still, he remains himself - self-aggrandising, wilful and thorned.So Ñolofinwë does not lose his youngest at the Lammoth, and receives his weregild.
Begrudgingly, for the good of all, he might weigh a truce. Under the noblesse, though, he seethes hungry and ambitious.Can they build a healthy co-existence? Doubtful, given their past and dispositions. But they can try.
Meanwhile, on the great game's board move a thousand pieces: Thingol negotiates, Artanis and Celeborn court, Findaráto is more than meets the eye, and Lúthien battles the very weaves of fate. Might a less fractured Beleriand stand against Morgoth?
--
[Yes, there is half-sibling incest, beware! But, at least in my interpretation, they barely interacted in youth, as Fëanor was mostly out of Tirion by the time Fingolfin toddled, so their social and emotional dynamic does not really have familial tones.] -

De peón a reina by Flopparina

24 Jul 2026

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.

Summary
"Life isn’t a game of chess, Ben. In chess, you have to make sacrifices and move on. The pawns don’t matter, not really. No one cares how many of them you sacrifice along the way. When it comes down to it, even the queen doesn’t matter. The only goal is to win the game. But this isn’t a game of chess, and I’m not going to let Auradon keep sacrificing the children of the Isle."
Or: 5 times Ben and Carlos play chess +1 time they don't
