Lando Norris thought ending it would fix the problem. Instead, it made everything worse. What started as something reckless and physical between him and Oscar Piastri has become impossible to contain. Because the real danger was never sex. It was what came after - the wanting, the silence, the way neither of them can seem to pull away without making it hurt more. Now they're trapped in the same garages, the same media rooms, the same race weekends, forced to stand beside each other and pretend none of it means anything. Oscar is trying to protect what's left of himself by keeping his distance. Lando is trying to call it caution, even while he keeps proving it's anything but. But Formula 1 doesn't leave room for clean breaks, and the closer the title fight gets, the harder it becomes to separate rivalry from ruin. Because some lines are easy to cross. The impossible part is living with what comes after.

Locals loved him, and his bar quickly became a refuge for those looking to unwind after long days. That stability shatters when Oscar Piastri opens a therapy clinic directly above the bar. Almost overnight, Lando begins losing his regulars - people who now choose healing over drinking. At the same time, Oscar watches his patients struggle, relapsing the moment they step outside and hear the pulse of music from downstairs. Each man becomes the other's problem, a constant reminder of everything they disagree on. They clash over principles, over responsibility, over what it means to help someone survive. Different mindsets. Different ways of coping. Neither willing to concede. Until a teenage girl named Eveline forces their paths to cross in ways neither of them can ignore. Bound by circumstance and an uneasy truce, Lando and Oscar are pushed into reluctant cooperation. And in the quiet moments between closing time and opening hours, they begin to see past assumptions - learning that care comes in many forms, and healing is rarely as simple as choosing the right door.

"You wanna try?" Said the curly-haired boy with a helmet in one hand and Oscar's fate in the other. They were supposed to make it to F1 together. And technically? They did. But now Lando can't stand to look at him. And Oscar? He's still trying to fix something he never meant to break. Or: the one where Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were childhood best friends, maybe something more, until everything exploded-and now they're stuck side by side, pretending they don't remember every second of what they lost.

Oscar Jack Piastri is a middle-class man, trying his best to keep his family stable after his fathers death. A position as the soon-to-be Lord of Amberley's assistant and right hand shall solve all his problems. But what if he falls hard and fast for this Lord? or When Lord Lando Norris is forced to choose between Love and Duty? Will he choose the man who means the world to him or his people who think the world of him?

To the world, Charles Leclerc is the sun. To Max Verstappen, he's a high-profile headache he doesn't have time for. Max is the invisible hand that makes the lives of the 1% perfect, and his rule is simple: no new clients, no high-maintenance egos, and no distractions. But Charles isn't used to being told "no," and he's decided that the only man who won't look at him is the only man he needs. In a world of fake smiles and paid loyalty, the hardest thing Max might have to fix is himself.

Once inseparable childhood friends, Lando and Oscar drift apart as life and different dreams take them to opposite sides of the world. Years later, fate unexpectedly brings them back together, forcing them to face the unspoken feelings and broken bonds of their past.

As the city's star bullfighter, The Red Bull, no one is immune to his charms. With his commitment to his craft, risking his life on the ring, Maximilian has escaped the pressures of courting- a particularly convenient arrangement considering his lack of interest in women. Charles Leclerc, a foreign nobleman, is not starstruck by him and Maximilian is quick to note. The night soon turns into morning and for the first time, Maximilian has an interest in something that is not his bulls.

They were never meant to be anything but enemies. Oscar Piastri is a ghost in a burning world-cold, calculated, and unforgiving. Lando Norris is the golden boy of justice, the last line of defense in a city crumbling from within. They don't share history. They don't share mercy. They only share destruction. Every fight leaves new scars. Every encounter takes a little more than it gives. And when a mission goes violently wrong, and the one person Oscar swore to protect is caught in the crossfire, everything fractures. Loyalties. Masks. Purpose. And maybe, just maybe... hatred isn't the only thing left between them. In the end, grief makes monsters of all of us.

Ft. NCT's Lee Jeno There were two rules: 1. Never wander the dark streets alone at night. 2. If you see a person wearing a black leather jacket with a golden phoenix on the back, you better turn around and run, and don't even think about looking back. There was a reason why these rules were in place, and it was because of him. "Let the fire burn to ash and let the phoenix rise." Book 2 in The Phoenixes Series COMPLETED

In a world where gods play favorites and monsters hunt in shadows, love might be the deadliest curse of all. Max, son of Ares, has lived his whole life under Hera's cruel blessing-a curse that destroys anyone who gets too close. He's the best fighter at Camp Half-Blood, feared for his temper and his blade. Then Charles arrives-a golden boy with a past he won't talk about, and anger he knows how to use. The gods whisper that Charles is the second half of the key to ending a threat older than Olympus itself. Thrown together on a quest across ancient ruins, and monster-infested roads, Max and Charles will face curses, trials, and the darkest corners of their own trauma. The deeper they go, the more the line between hate and something far more dangerous begins to blur. But with a god's legacy at stake and a curse that punishes every bond Max makes, falling for each other might not just be forbidden-it might be fatal. Percy Jackson AU
