Summary
Kaveh just wanted to finish his architectural projects, pay off his debts, and maybe enjoy some alcohol without someone ruining his day.
Instead, he’s getting interrogated by an amateur kidnapper who won’t take no for an answer, playing chess with the same amateur who definitely has ulterior motives, and realizing that, maybe, he’s stumbled headfirst into a conspiracy way above his pay grade.
Oh, and the not-so-amateur kidnapper? He’s everywhere.
(Or: Kaveh makes one wrong turn and ends up accidentally kidnapped. Somehow, it's less stressful than dealing with his clients.)

You’ve timed it, once. Out of idle curiosity. How long it takes Superman to cross the city versus how long Clark Kent takes to come back from lunch.
The numbers line up beautifully.
You don’t say anything. Why would you?
You did scoff, though, when you read Clark Kent’s interview with Superman. An exclusive. You rolled your eyes at the byline. There was lazy, and then there was lazy.
Or
Superman somehow becomes your friend in between chess games, instant coffee, and Mario Kart.Or
You know a secret about Superman. That's ok, he knows a secret about you too.-

Summary
Yes, this version of 007 was a terrifyingly smart agent, and M wondered long and often whether it had been a good idea to promote him to the position. Usually, the title was the dangerous part - being 007 meant deadliness - but this time, M feared that a certain man with ice-blue eyes and scruffy blonde hair had dragged in more danger to the title than it had previously possessed
Enter MI6's new Quartermaster: an unassuming, bespectacled genius with no mind for subterfuge but plenty of genius behind a dry smile. Curious 00-agents and young boffins don't always mix in predictable ways...

Summary
“My name is Veritas Ratio.”
It was a pointless offering. What good was the name of a scholar to a boy in iron shackles? Soon, the boy would procure another wound, and this time, Ratio would not be there to halt the infection. He was a man of vast influence, intellect, and interest, yet sitting on the edge of this cot, he had never felt so utterly powerless.
The clever boy raised a hand to his own chest, his gemstone eyes catching the dim light. “Kakavasha.”
A decade after the IPC declares sovereignty over Sigonia-IV, Dr. Veritas Ratio accompanies Oswaldo Schneider on a diplomatic mission to discuss reparations. Stepping into the wrong door, Ratio expects to find a local liaison. Instead, he finds a bleeding Avgin boy and a circular chessboard.

zugzwang: in chess, the obligation to move, when any move at all will be bad
"A game of chess, Detective. I assume you know how to play. You win, and you and your family may leave freely. I win, and you take your place as my heir and I dispose of the others as I see fit."
Tim stopped breathing.
Ra's spread his hands, still smiling that condescending crocodile grin. "Our skills are evenly matched. The challenge is more than fair."
All a game, just win. All a game, just win. Just win, just win, win, win...
Keep your head.

Summary
Spencer and Aaron are brothers, but for a change, William Reid is actually a decent person. Aaron has just joined the BAU and his brother is super proud of him! Spencer is still a genius, but also a literal menace because he is actually loved.
The working title for this was: 'Hotch and Spencer are brothers and William isn't evil' so I feel like while the title I went for wasn't great, it absolutely could have been worse!
