I-I.
Oh god. ♥
I am for once glad I didn't read it when it was released - this is yet another chapter that has made coming home from school and work so much better.

BREATHPLAY. ♥ ♥ godilovedestructivekinkswiththispairsohard.

I will never, ever think of chess the same way again. It's a hard game but ohoho now it's literal. (You two haven't ruined guns for me yet... but if you do anymore gun kink, that might change.)

We're so glad we could brighten up your day! Especially with breathplay. Every day could use a little breathplay.

This may have just increased my love of chess ten fold. Russia, your pissy moments make me smile; America... *just shakes my head* I have no words for you XP

Also, damn that sex scene was hot. I totally approve of Russia's teaching methods. And yes, no commie propaganda in the bedroom, best line ever, forever. You guys are going to have to try really hard to top that one.

All in all, a spectacular way to wake up this morning (only had time to comment just now ^^;;;)

Russia, your pissy moments make me smile; America... *just shakes my head* I have no words for you

This is pretty much how we feel on both counts, yeah. *grin*

I totally approve of Russia's teaching methods.

And America is just SO INCREDULOUS. "We're really doing this? You're serious?" Next time Russia is going make him memorize openers before he lets him get off, you just know it.

CHESS. SMUT. OMG.

I love you. I love you both forever. Not ony do I come back to multiple updates but one of them involves favorite game ever. *sqeee~*

It's actually my headcanon that America is actually pretty good at chess, a fact that catchs many nations who play him off guard. I've always had the image of him in Washignton D.C going to Dupont Circle after work to play. But he has never beaten Russia--his childish desire to do so has in fact driven him to get better.

So yeah. Um. This chapter was hot. Very very hot. You guys kinda short-curcuited my brain so that's all. ^^;;

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Welcome back! =D

It's actually my headcanon that America is actually pretty good at chess

That's interesting, is there any reason why?

[windmilltilter]

Well (history rambling incoming!)--Once reason is historical. In the 1800's there was an American chess Champion named Paul Morphy, who is considered the greatest chess master of the era and an unofficial World Champion. After winning the American Chess Conference, he was invited to go to England to play...where he then proceeded to travel across the continent defeating almost everybody who was anybody when it came to the game at the time

Come on, fandom. I can't be the only one who thought of chess piece penetration when I saw the prompt. But this was still uber sexy nonetheless. Teasing!Russia is such a bastard :D I was as frustrated
and amused as America was.

This was really nostalgic for me, considering Bobby was my hero in elementary school. I adore his characterization here. I think Alfred must be channeling his spirit into him or something.

Alfred's chess!fail is amazing. I love the idea of Russia going psycho over chess. It's so fitting, considering what I've read about how the kids were taught chess in Russia.

There needs to be more chess!pronz in the world.
Strip chess, anyone?

Re: /nosebleeds/

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Chess piece penetration would be disrespectful to chess! Russia would be aghast at the suggestion. XD

I think Alfred must be channeling his spirit into him or something.

America would have had to have behaved a LOT worse to be channeling the spirit of Bobby Fischer. x_x I-I hope he was only your idol because he was great at chess, and not because he was awful and crazy?

It's so fitting, considering what I've read about how the kids were taught chess in Russia.

Chess was very serious business in Soviet Russia. We weren't making up that business with how chess was seen as the embodiment of the Marxist-Leninist system in the Soviet Union and Russia in particular. =D

Re: /nosebleeds/

[star_jinin]

/shrugs/ Well, Russia DID threaten to gut Alfred with the king.

No, I meant the other way around XD Alfred's spirit==>Fischer.

Yeah, those beginner's chess books don't really mention the negative side of the grandmasters. All I knew at that time was the he was a prodigy who pwned everyone. Though I did wonder why an American lived and died in this strange mystical place called Iceland.

Yeah, I read about one girl who had her dad drill the name and color of every chess square before she was eight. Or five. Or something. I dunno. When I think of Russian kids learning chess, I picture a monastery of Buddhist monks. Only with more hair.

How do I keep missing these updates? >:

It's been quite some time since I've read a chapter of TCE that's busted my gut as much as the first half of this.

And I got that accounting test back. Not good results. So this made me smile at least a little bit as I watched my GPA commit suicide

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Yeah, TCE doesn't really "do" comedy, all that often. It was nice to get the opportunity, with this chapter. =D

And gosh, I'm sorry to hear that. Best of luck with your other coursework before the end of the semester!
