Summary
Hikaru’s scarf keeps disappearing. Every time he looks up, it’s around Magnus’s neck instead. Bold as a dare, soft as a promise. What starts as petty theft turns into something neither of them wants to name: The terrifying truth that maybe, after two decade of rivalry, they’ve only ever been circling each other waiting for this.
No confessions. No declarations. Just a too-ugly checkered scarf binding them together, thread by reckless thread.
Enemies to something softer, if they can stop being cowards long enough to keep it.

Summary
The hush was always there — between Hikaru and Magnus, between the trophies and the cheap hotel hallways, between the words they never said.
This is the part no one gets to see: the tense, sharp ache beneath Hikaru’s grin. His final games, played alone, somewhere between winning and losing. A confession unsent. A crown that never shared. A hush that took it all.
He said he was okay.
He lied.Series

Summary
Hikaru and Danya taught at the same school. If it was up to Hikaru, he would say that what Danya was doing wasn't teaching at all. And if it was up to Danya, he wouldn't call what Hikaru did teaching either. After all, he had never had a crush on a teacher before.

Magnus has never liked coffee — too bitter, too sharp — unless it’s the kind that lives in Hikaru’s body, warm and slick and addictive.

Summary
Magnus Carlsen has had many rivals, but only one that ever mattered. When Hikaru Nakamura begins hinting at retirement, Magnus responds the only way he knows how: winning. Ruthlessly. Repeatedly. With every match, every move, he pulls Hikaru back to the board—and back to him. But when Hikaru proposes a post-game wager with honest answers on the line, Magnus doesn’t realize he’s playing the most dangerous opening of all: admitting the truth. Because the only thing more thrilling than beating Hikaru... is keeping him.
