❝ Lando attaches the blushy, pouty photo and sends it, then locks his phone and drops it onto the carpet beside him, staring up at the ceiling. There's a pause, stretching suspiciously long. A faint click echoes through the call. Mute. Then unmute again. "Sorry," OP says when he comes back, his voice rougher now. "Thought someone was at the door."❞ Or: Lando loses an F1 championship and signs up for a charity Minecraft speedrunning tournament to cope with his existential crisis. Turns out his coach, faceless speedrunning champion OP81, might be a bit of a fanboy.

It's the profound tragedy of Lando's life, he thinks, to realise he's in love with his teammate - just as Oscar Piastri makes a habit of standing one step higher on the podium, forcing Lando to crane his neck to look at him. Oscar hates watching the light fade from Lando's eyes with every victory he takes from him. He accepted the inconvenient truth long ago: he loves Lando. But he loves winning more.

**LESTAPPEN HIGHSCHOOL AU** Charles has a lot on his mind. With the constant bullying, issues at home, and the death of his father, he finds it hard to cope, constantly losing grip on reality. Only a few things help him find solace in life, his father's grave, and the boy he's feared of loving, Max Verstappen. Too scared to speak in person, Charles finds a way around it. To text him anonymously.
