And you gave me this one too... thank you once again! I love your descriptions; they're so powerful. The comparisons to their backgrounds and the pieces they play is incredible, and the last part - the last two paragraphs - round it out wonderfully! Also, particularly enjoyed this part:

Leonard sips bourbon as Chekov - his adversary, his opposition - his tempter; goddamn devil incarnate, an angel in disguise - laps little by little at the vodka in his glass, licks at lips full of fever, full of promise, and Leonard wonders whether those glistening drops of liquor could survive on a mouth so sweet, would last long enough to taste if his tongue ran across the smooth pillow of it, dove further and dragged, teased against smooth teeth.

Mmmm, lovely! Thanks again! *hugs*

Thank you, dear; I'm so glad this was to your liking - I was pretty apprehensive about trying this pairing!

Chess is already sexy, but you've made it so hot my screen is melting around the edges. Wow.

Thank you so much, doll; I wasn't sure I'd managed these two very well, but if you think it was hot, I'll take your word for it :D

I love this. The way they play, evenly matched, combined with their relationship - so awesome. Great job.

Thank you! I'm glad the chess metaphor worked for you :)

You've woven chess and relationships so seamlessly!! I adore how you equate the chess pieces and the styles of play to both men, how it's a stalemate just waiting for that one move to hit checkmate - gorgeous!!

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you thought the comparisons rang true - I really, really had no idea what I was doing with this pairing, but I'm glad you enjoyed whatever it was I did!
