"Speaking of battle," says Bogdn, taking his seat by the chessboard. "We play?"
Stephen waves this away.
"We don't play today?" says Bogdan. Maybe they will watch a film instead? Or just tell stories. Bogdan will cook a paella.
"Not me, old chap, says Stephen. "Elizabeth's the chess player round here."
"Elizabeth?"
"I tried chess a few times," says Stephen. "Never got the hang of it. You play?"
"Yes, I play," says Bogdan.
"Any good?" says Stephen.
"Depends," says Bogdan, determined to stop the team forming. "In chess you're only really ever as good as the person you play against."
Stephen nods and looks down at the board. Bogdan wonders what he is seeing.
"Better man than I,' says Stephen. 'Devil's own job, that game."
Donna walks back in with two mugs of tea. Stephen beams.
That's the stuff, all right,' says Stephen. "Cup of tea. That's the stuff."

I just. I think its hysterical that generally speaking, judging by the most popular self-insert fanfiction in this fandom, a quintessential component of the fantasy of being with a f1 driver is the rich, lavish lifestyle. opulence and hetronormative tropes are at the heart of most of these fantasies (not kink shaming, whatever floats your boat) but every time Lando's dms leak its always like

Aziraphale paused when his eyes fell on the drink in his hand.
