Falling for the competition is risky, but breaking all the rules has never felt so good.

Now bitter rivals, they must unite to face a new challenger for the title: Lewis Hamilton.

Two men, shaped by the same law school halls-though never quite side by side. Lando Norris was always a step ahead, a senior others admired without question. Oscar Piastri watched from a distance-through subtle glances across lecture rooms, shared silences in late-night study sessions, and a quiet admiration he never quite voiced. Oscar believed in rules. Not just the kind written in textbooks, but the kind etched into his bones-discipline, restraint, devotion. Lando never did. Where Oscar saw lines not to be crossed, Lando barely acknowledged they existed. And somehow, that difference became the very thing that pulled them together-until it broke something in Oscar he could never quite piece back the same way. Until something happened. Something that tore whatever fragile connection they had into pieces. Years later, they meet again-not as students, but as rivals. Oscar, now a prosecutor. Lando, a defense lawyer. On opposite sides of the courtroom, their worlds collide once more-this time tangled in tension, resentment, and everything they never resolved. Because some lines, once crossed, don't just disappear. They haunt you.

Oscar has two rules: Protect Amelie at all costs, and never let anyone close enough to leave again. At twenty-four, Oscar Piastri's life is a routine of silence and survival. Abandoned by his partner shortly after their daughter was born, he has built a fortress around his heart. He is a brilliant lawyer and a devoted father, but inside, he is frozen. When his old friends Charles and Max offer him a lifeline-a job and a fresh start in sunny Monaco-Oscar accepts, desperate for a change. He expects hard work and a quiet life. He does not expect Lando. Lando is Amelie's new kindergarten teacher. He is loud, chaotic, overwhelmingly affectionate, and wears his heart on his sleeve-everything Oscar is not. And while Amelie instantly falls in love with her colourful new teacher, Oscar finds himself terrified by the warmth Lando tries to force into his life. Lando is determined to melt the ice around the single dad's heart. But Oscar is convinced that everything good eventually leaves. Can a preschool teacher with too much energy teach a broken lawyer that some people are actually meant to stay?

(+18) Oscar has always been alone until Cambridge. One party. One unexpected meeting with Daniel. One moment that changes everything, even if he doesn't know it yet. Suddenly, he's surrounded by the kind of friends he never thought he'd have and by Lando, at the center of it all. Sometimes, belonging begins by accident.

Oscar, the youngest MP of the Progressive Left, is used to being underestimated - but he is ready to fight for change. Problem is, Lando Norris - the golden boy of the Liberal Party, crosses his way again and again until the lines between them start to blur. Or: They bump into each other a lot and are then forced to work together somehow. Many thing can happen from there on. tumblr: papayapillowprincess ao3: likeawinner481

It all started with a bet that was made by a very drunk Lando, who was apparently not kidding at all... One reckless night. One stupid game. One dare Oscar refuses to take. Lando's pride takes the hit - and by the time the party burns out, the bet is already sealed. Lando Norris bets he can make Oscar Piastri to 'like' him. Oscar only agrees to calm (drunk) him down. He doesn't expect Lando to remember it. He definitely doesn't expect him to mean it. But the next morning comes with a bouquet of roses, relentless charm, and a promise Lando is determined to win - one gesture at a time. It was supposed to be harmless. It wasn't. ; ) - Book 2 - (Can be read as a standalone) Prequel: -) Is This Love? - Book 1 - Rustappen

Lando Norris has his life mapped out - a stable job, a respectable engagement, a future everyone keeps telling him he should want. But lately, everything feels like it's closing in. The ring on his finger feels heavier by the day, the smiles around him tighter, the walls of his own choices drawing closer. Then Oscar walks into his life. The man he shouldn't have met. The mistake that wasn't supposed to follow him into daylight. Now, standing across from him in the same department, the feeling Lando tried to bury breathes again - calm, composed, and entirely out of reach. They're supposed to be colleagues. Professionals. But every argument, every shared glance, every late night spent working becomes a reminder of everything Lando's trying not to feel. And the more he tries to run from what's expected of him, the more he finds himself drawn toward the one person he shouldn't want.

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.

Lando has always been McLaren's golden boy, their leader, their future. But after a season where Oscar proved himself time and time again, doubt starts to creep in. Is he still the priority? Is McLaren still his team? For Oscar, the season was a test in patience. He played his role, followed the plan, allowed the team to back Lando when it mattered. But now, with the fight for 2025 looming, he wonders, should he stop waiting for his moment? Should he take it? Friendship, rivalry, ambition. Two teammates, one team, and a battle for dominance that can only be settled on track.
