There are seriously a million billion Sciset pics at this point which is fine really but it does mean that in order to avoid option paralysis I need to just close my eyes and pick one
I was in a not-so-great mood one day and decided to go to my fave ship to make me feel better.
...that's it. Backstory's not very complicated for this one.

Enjoy, and we'll see you all again... in the future.

Checkmate, shimmerwhores.
Ah, the stuff I like reading the best. Short, simple, and -- brief pause for appropriately predictable buildup -- sweet. SciSet/SunLight Mk. II is great and this little snapshot of the early part of their relationship proper is adorable to bear witness to. Good on you, Bookish. Excited to see the next work from you, as always.
There's something compelling about this piece, and I think I'll be reading it sooner than later...
Oh, come on. Somebody has to mention this is *not* a checkmate. Twilight hasn't castled yet. I'm a chess novice, and even I can see that.
Yes, release the chess nerds and let the thread become filled with the complexities of the English Open, or the subtle moves in the Harry Potter Wizard's chess game.

You can't castle while you're in check. But Bd1 stops it from being mate this turn. I'm neither good enough nor awake enough to try to read the rest of the position…
(or… maybe that was the joke you were making?
)

I didn't realize that was a bishop there. :o
As sweet as advertised.

Guys, you're missing the bigger picture here: That board's not aligned correctly in the first place.

It's Sideways Chess. All our speculation is now moot because the rules are probably different.
So a.) new Bookish story I Am Excite (and plan to dive into ALL THE BOOKISH in the coming week, so help me glob), as always
b.) Can we take a moment to appreciate how well that little .gif scene works? The shifting expressions, the pacing of the joke, the way the humor is derived from a kind, warm place instead of a mean or deceptive one...it really is great, and it actually captures so many layers of what makes this relationship so great.
4788795 Huh, I didn't know that. I learned something! Time for bed!
4788856 so the White side is supposed to be the Black side, I presume?

White corner always goes in the bottom-right of both players' sides.
