Some people belong to the place where they were born. Oscar thought he did too. In his small village, surrounded by familiar faces, with Lando always by his side, he believed life would continue that way forever. But fate had other plans. Oscar disappeared. And then the years passed. Secrets came to light, lives changed, and nothing that had been left behind remained the same. Yet some stories never truly end. They simply lose their way.

It's two minutes past midnight. Max is the head chef of the restaurant downstairs; Charles is the playboy neighbor upstairs who brings a different woman home every night. ​It's a routine they know by heart: the date fails, the woman leaves, and Charles stumbles down to Max's kitchen, hungry for pasta and comfort. To Charles, Max is just the grumpy best friend who fixes his mess. To Max, Charles is a beautiful, oblivious chaos. ​Max plays his part perfectly: he cooks, he listens, and he swallows his jealousy. ​Max can make breakfast exactly how Charles likes it, but he can't make Charles love him back

(+18) Lando Norris expected a teammate; he didn't expect a mystery. In the high-octane world of Formula 1, Oscar Piastri is a ghost in the machine; calculated, detached, and seemingly untouchable. But the walls around the him begin to crumble when Lando discovers Oscar's best-kept secret: behind the ice-cold exterior lies a man who has never let anyone close enough to touch him. Stunned by Oscar's unexpected innocence, Lando finds himself inexplicably drawn into his orbit. What starts as curiosity quickly turns into an obsession, with Lando finding every possible excuse to be by Oscar's side in the debrief rooms, the private jets, and the quiet corners of the paddock. As Lando pushes through the layers of Oscar's isolation, he realizes that melting the ice of a virgin heart is far more dangerous than any 300km/h corner

Fake/Pretend Relationship | A 'bro day out' prior to the 2025 F1 Season sparks up a funky dating rumour. But the McLaren PR team uses this to their advantage to accelerate both boys' careers. THE BIG STUFF: Friends to Lovers | 2025 F1 Season Realistic (Canon Compliant) | Slow Burn .𖥔 ݁ ˖ ✦ "We have a new PR strategy for this year to aid with keeping you both in the headlines for longer," Louise, the CMO, continues. "We want to lean into the wave you've both created already." "We want you to both be in a PR relationship," Zak finalises. Lando immediately spills a quarter of the water carafe onto Oscar's lap out of pure shock. Lando gasps out a few squeaky sorry's while Oscar stands up in a fright. "You mean with... models, or s-something?" Oscar stutters out, looking down to his pants which absolutely looks like he's just pissed himself. "No, that'd be a very easy strategy. We've used that one for years," Louise laughs. Neither of the drivers are laughing with her. "You two, together."

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. ---

The lie was supposed to last one night. After a race weekend celebration organized by Max Verstappen, rookie drivers Kimi Antonelli and Oliver Bearman find themselves in a situation neither of them planned for. One wrong drink. One drunken confession. And suddenly, Ollie casually announces to a table full of Formula 1 drivers that he's dating Kimi. Kimi knows Ollie is drunk. Correcting him would only embarrass his best friend in front of everyone, so he does the only thing he can think of. He plays along. What starts as a harmless lie quickly turns into something much more complicated when the paddock begins to believe it. Fake dates. Pretend affection. And cameras that never stop watching. For Ollie, the act becomes harder with every passing day-because the truth is painfully simple. He fell first. And somewhere along the way, Kimi might fall harder. Start: 13 Mar. 2026 | End: 16 Mar. 2026 COMPLETED ✅ Book cover by @iamchxrry

Lando Norris didn't mean to hire a nanny from a coffee shop. Oscar Piastri was supposed to be temporary-just someone to help keep things together while Lando juggled work, single fatherhood, and a life that never seems to slow down. But somewhere between school pickups, late-night dinners, and quiet moments after the kids fall asleep, "temporary" starts to feel a lot like something else. Updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

What's their relationship? Definitely not lovers. They both have feelings for other people, people who are untouchable, or simply out of reach and yet, in their longing and frustration, they discover something.The unspoken arrangement, they can be each other's substitute, a stand-in for the love they can't have. What begins as comfort soon blurs into something more complicated and dangerously close to real feelings. It grows into a bond far more consuming than love, addictive, and merciless. Can the relationship they built to satisfy their desires continue forever? Or will their craving for what they cannot have destroy them both?

Oscar Piastri is a masterpiece of ice and silence. To the rest of Hogwarts, he is a ghost in the dungeons, a lethal Slytherin whose mere presence feels like a winter frost. He is a boy built of sharp edges and secrets, conditioned by a father who taught him that feelings are a weakness and touch is a weapon. His sister, Cara, is the only anchor keeping him from drifting into the dark. She is his mirror, his protector, the only one who can see the cracks in his marble skin. But then there is Lando. A Gryffindor made of sunlight, curls, and a terrifyingly pure heart. Lando is everything Oscar was told to despise-and the only thing that makes his heart beat with a rhythm that feels like life. It starts with tutoring sessions that bleed into obsession. It starts with Oscar's cruelty, a desperate attempt to push away the only person who looks at him without fear. But Lando doesn't run. Even when Oscar screams, even when Oscar flinches, Lando stays. One is a sun that refuses to dim. The other is a storm that's forgotten how to be calm. As a dark political war closes in and Oscar's father prepares to purge the "mistakes" from the wizarding world, Oscar is caught in a suffocating trap. He must choose between the blood that defines him and the boy who haunts his every waking thought. Oscar Piastri is untouchable. But for Lando, he's willing to shatter.
