[fic] The Love Pawn - "Checkmate"
Oct. 10th, 2021 01:28 pmTitle: Checkmate
Fandom: The Love Pawn (Short Story)
Genre: Drama, romance, horror?
Characters/pairings: Paula Ingram/Red (Jack Delafield)
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 1,205
Summary: For a sick moment, reality tilted, then snapped back into place with horrifying clarity. “You!” she gasped. “You, Red, and the butler, Benson, are the same! You got that place in my home just to find out about me, didn’t you?” (Expanded scene from the short story. As before, you can find more details in the pre-fic notes of this story.)
So yes, this is an expanded scene from the original story. The dialogue remains almost entirely unchanged, along with the actual action(s), but I beefed up the surrounding prose (mostly because there was so very little of it to begin with).

( She backed up a shaky step as the full weight of the situation settled on her like a nightmare. )
