❝ it began in moscow when she had him beat. he'd given her his king then, and later pulled her aside. she'd kissed him first, still playing white.

the science of parting

Beth Harmon x Vasily Borgov (The Queen's Gambit)

Rated E | Post-Canon

The first thing he’ll do when he returns to Moscow is to toss his clothes into the wash. The second is to kiss his son and ask if he behaved well for his mother. The third—once Fedya joins his friends in the playground—is to make love to his wife. He has tonight and two more days until then. Enough time to blot out traces of red hair and heaving silk and lipstick-bruised cigarettes.

The king.

At first I thought about drawing Elizabeth but Borgov looked as more interesting challenge to me for his face lines and his facial structure.

If this gets enough attention I might draw Elizabeth soon.

Can you tell me about your Borgov HC?

thank you for reminding me!!

so when the show first came out, there was a lot of focus on how beth and borgov always found each other - like there's a magnetic force between them, they couldn't help but find one another, they were so drawn to one another without knowing it.

what i propose is: borgov actively seeking beth out in a crowd. he knows about this little chess virtuoso and he HAS to find her, HAS to see her - and the first time he does spot her across a crowded room, he knows he can't stop looking for her. in every crowded tournament he looks for her until he finds her. at the zoo in mexico he is so restless, her living in his mind, that he has to look for her out of the corner of his eye - and he finds her.

his wife's gentle hand on his elbow to get his attention back, his son's excited pointing distracting him briefly from the turmoil of thoughts in his head, big brown eyes and red hair and quick hands he shamefully looks for across a dozen chess sets until he finds her, sated briefly, but never for long.

I'm OBSESSED with how he has to suppress a smile at the end

I love how yeah cold war this cold war that and he's the scary soviet king of chess but they're all just a bunch of nerds and get excited when there are other nerds around and that includes learning languages

He's so affectionate towards her despite not even knowing her simply because she's young and a worthy opponent and i loveeeeee

Miss Harmon, do you feel good about rematch with Grandmaster Borgov?

Well, I was tagged by @tarttism to post 250 words of a wip and even if I intend to post the full story on AO3 in the somewhat near future, here’s the first 290 words, because I didn’t want to break up a paragraph. - Vasily Borisovich Borgov has something of a complicated view on fatherhood. Or rather, a complicated role as a father. Not that things did not start out simple enough, with his marriage to a woman he respects and likes well enough and then the birth of Mikhail a few years later. Due to her role as his interpreter, he has even been uniquely blessed with the fact that his family has been allowed to go with him to most of his tournaments outside the USSR, once his son was old enough to travel, of course. The two KGB agents they had to have on their tail at all times is a small price to pay for such a privilege. And for many years that had been more than enough and all there was to it. He could focus on his chess career, become World Champion, be a good husband, love his son and make sure to be the father Mikhail deserves.

Today, however, he is about to come face to face with the complicated side for the first time. It is the 1980 Chess Olympiad, held in Malta, and specifically in the capital, Valletta. A very warm and sunny place - at least by comparison - this late in the year, which does a little to alleviate his anxiety and relax him. He has taken to walking by the seaside as much as possible when not busy playing or practicing, and the hat he wears is as much for providing some protection from the insistent glare of the sun as it is to keep him warm. But as much as he can agree it is a beautiful place, he pays it little attention, his mind occupied elsewhere most of the time.
