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?

In Formula 1, everything is measured in tenths. Wins. Losses. Mistakes. The space between holding on and losing control. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri know exactly how thin that margin is. On track, they are teammates, rivals, and the two strongest weapons McLaren has in a title fight that demands everything from them. Off track, they are something far more dangerous: unfinished, unspoken, and already too deep in something neither of them knows how to survive cleanly. What begins as reckless chemistry becomes impossible to contain once it starts meaning more than either of them wants to admit. Because wanting is one thing. Letting it change you is another. And in a sport built on control, precision, and public image, there is no room for the kind of feelings that throw everything off balance. But distance doesn't fix it. Winning doesn't drown it out. And every race weekend forces them back into the same rooms, the same silences, the same impossible choice between protecting themselves and giving in. Because when everything is measured in tenths, it doesn't take much to ruin a life. Or fall in love.

Fast Hearts, Faster Hands - A LandOscar Story In the high-stakes world of Formula 1, milliseconds decide everything - reputations, rivalries, world championships. For teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, speed has always been simple. Feelings are not. When the new season begins, the pressure is suffocating. The team needs results. The paddock whispers about tension in the garage. But somewhere between late-night debriefs, lingering glances over telemetry screens, and hands brushing in the rush before lights out, Oscar realises his biggest risk isn't Turn One - it's Lando. Falling for your best friend is complicated. Falling for your team mate and rival? Dangerous. As victories slip through their fingers and the title fight tightens, every overtake feels personal, every radio message loaded. Team orders threaten to tear them apart. Sponsors demand perfection. The world watches for cracks. Loving each other could cost them everything they've worked for - or become the very thing that makes them unstoppable. Because in Formula 1, you need fast hearts to survive. But do you need faster hands to hold on? Can love and ambition share the same cockpit - or will one of them have to lift?

This story focuses on Lando and Oscar, on their relationship and on what develops between them-through tension, unspoken thoughts, and moments that are not always easy to interpret in a simple or straightforward way. There won't be alternative dynamics beyond this: everything revolves around the two of them, and the way they observe each other, avoid each other, and come closer without ever fully understanding one another. "LANDO'S POV" My breathing changes slightly. I notice it immediately. Shorter. More conscious. His eyes stay on me. Steady. Then they drop, just for a moment. Too quick for me to be completely sure... but enough for me to notice. His lips. I swallow lightly. I shouldn't be thinking about it. I shouldn't even register it. And yet I do. I take another half step. And the thought comes, clear and unfiltered: Kiss him. And right after it, almost overlapping: Push him away. I stay still. Stuck exactly at the point where I don't know which version of myself to choose. Oscar is still looking at me. And for a moment, I have the distinct feeling that he knows. Not what I'm thinking. But that I'm thinking something I'm not saying. And that awareness tightens something in my stomach that's hard to ignore. I don't look away. I don't want to. And I remain there, still, suspended between what I should do... and what I actually want to do.

|~< a Landoscar story (oscarxlando) Oscar had always been mesmerised by lando Norris. How good he was. But when he signed for McLaren, he was unsure what to expect from the Brit. But it wasn't for him to always get what he wants >~|

During a golden, sun-drenched Monaco summer the Mclaren team takes a rare break. The villa they stay at is quiet, heavy with heat and the soft stillness of time off. Oscar arrives in the wake of a quiet breakup with Lily, carrying the silence of a man still figuring out what he's lost. He's withdrawn, his mind a haze of bitter thoughts. Lando watches from the edges, heart soft and aching. His crush on Oscar is old and carefully hidden, but now, without the noise of the track or the pressure of the season, something fragile begins to stir. In the space between cicadas and salt-kissed afternoons, conversations grow more honest. Oscar is lonely. Lando is hopeful. And sometimes, hope lingers even when it's sunburnt, peeling and sore, but still alive under the skin.

Teammates? Yes. Friends? Debatable. Soulmates who flirt like enemies, fake date for PR, and somehow make half the F1 grid their personal chaos witnesses? Oh absolutely. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are everything except normal. One scandalous photo, one fake relationship deal, and suddenly the two most insufferably hot idiots on the grid are pretending to be in love - except the pretending gets weirdly real when Oscar starts calling Lando "baby" with teeth and Lando keeps accidentally moaning when Oscar touches him. Between jealous drivers, group chat disasters, very public flirt-fights, and several unsupervised hotel rooms, it's clear one of them is going to snap. And when they do? Oh, it's going to be glorious. ---

--- Lando Norris wakes up from a year-long coma with no memory of the love story that changed his life. He remembers Oscar Piastri as a rival. A teammate. Nothing more. Not the secret glances. Not the whispered I love yous. Not the marriage. Not the night he promised forever. Now, Oscar stands by his side-husband, stranger, and the man Lando unknowingly gave his whole heart to. But how do you fight for someone who doesn't remember loving you? How do you make someone fall in love with you again, when every memory of "us" is gone? In a story filled with heartbreak, healing, and second chances, The Second First Time takes you through the slow burn of re-falling in love, the weight of forgotten vows, and the aching beauty of choosing each other-even when the past is lost. Because sometimes, the heart remembers what the mind forgets. ---
