Summary
I can't describe how happy I'm to be able to publish this video.
This is my first edit in almost two years and I'm so happy to have been able to return to doing it.
I dreamed to make an edit of these two since the end of 2020 - as most of the people as done -but I never had the chance, so I'm quite sad to have come so late: still, I had written, for now, a 13 chapter long fanfic named Cowboy Like Me on AO3 about this couple, so if you're a fan like me of B2, I hope you'll check it out✨ -

Summary
This is a list of the many characters (canon and not) that are presented in CLM, with their characteristics and data. I decided to make it for explaining and list the various changes that I made during the course of the fic, being this a story with a lot of chapters and events.
The descriptions will be uploaded and edited every time a new CLM chapter will be uploaded, and I will report what are spoilers from what is not.
Like a wiki.This story will be even used by me to post some of my illustrations about my story🤗🤗

Summary
I sat down to write a Choose Your Own Adventure and I got a journal entry. This is Beth writing in her journal and reflecting on what might or might not have happened between her and Cleo.
"When I was a little girl Mama used to sew my clothes and she’d have all these cut out pieces and I couldn’t tell what they would look like when she put them together. It’s a little like that. I have these little fragments and flashes from that night and I don’t know how they fit together."

Summary
When an orphanage writes to Beth about one of their girls who loves chess, Beth feels compelled to visit and then to adopt the child as her own, but there's one problem. The law requires her to be married and there's only one pirate-cowboy she can think to ask even six years after Moscow. She imagines a quiet wedding followed by a quick divorce, but Benny has other ideas.

[Meta] On THAT Parallel between Beth & Benny and Beth & Harry in bed by InnocentLookingKnight (HumiliatedRook)

Summary
tl;dr: There's a parallel, but the differences between them stand out to me SO much more than the similarities itself. The differences helped me realize I shipped Beth/Benny! Benny thinking about Beth’s chess is so INTIMATE compared to Beth lighting a cigarette and picking up a book to read post-coitus.

Summary
The next morning, she wakes with sunlight hitting her face, filling her with a warmth that Moscow had not provided before. Instead of waking up in a giant, solitary hotel bed, she listens to the sound of Benny's breathing keeping her company. His arm is wrapped around her waist. His fingertips slightly brush her side. His other arm is nestled between his neck and the pillow. His hair looks soft, gently draped over his eyes.
Beth brushes it aside with one hand. “I love you” she whispers.
