Five years after a messy break up, Lando is heading home for the holidays and finds the courage to text his ex and apologize for everything that happened between them. With Christmas lights going up and a long flight home ahead of him, he sends the message he's rehearsed for months, only for it to end up in the inbox of Wren Quinn, a sweet, quietly resilient girl who recently changed her number to keep her obsessive ex from contacting her again. When Wren receives a message from a stranger staying he's "coming home for the holidays and wants to talk", she knows it's a mistake. But instead of ignoring it, she replies. What begins as a simple "wrong number" moment turns into late-night conversations, unexpected honesty, and a spark neither of them saw coming. By the time they agree to meet in person, the magic of Christmas is already working on them. One accidental text becomes the start of something real, two people finding each other exactly when they needed it the most. As snow falls and the holidays unfold, Lando and Wren discover that sometimes love doesn't just find a way... it finds the wrong number first.

Helena doesn't believe in fairy tales. Not after the past she's endured. Love, trust, even the simplest touch-they're all foreign concepts to her. She's built walls around herself, high enough to keep anyone from getting too close. And she's fine with that. Until she meets Lando Norris. Fast. Fearless. Impossible to ignore. The McLaren driver is everything Helena doesn't need in her life-loud, persistent, too charming for his own good. And yet, from the moment their worlds collide in the paddock, he refuses to be just another stranger passing by. But the past doesn't let go so easily. And neither does fear. As Lando gets closer, Helena has to decide: will she keep running, or will she finally let someone stay? A story of slow healing, late-night confessions, and a love that feels just out of reach. Because sometimes, the hardest thing isn't falling-it's letting yourself be caught.

They were never meant to last. At least, that's what everyone said. Lando Norris, Formula 1's golden boy, is used to pressure.

As the spotlight grows harsher and the lines between love and expectation blur, Lando is forced to ask himself: How do you hold on to something that was never meant to last? ---- Disclaimer: This story is a fanfiction and is for entertainment purposes only.

A "Public Game" Spinoff. When I taste tequila, baby I still see ya. I remember how bad I need ya, when I taste tequila.

We were only supposed to play for the cameras.. so why did it feel real?

Max Verstappen to Mercedes? The paddock is buzzing. The media's in meltdown. Dr. Anastasia "Ana" Wolff, Mercedes' notoriously brilliant, emotionally unavailable lead systems engineer and Toto Wolff's eldest daughter, is not handling it well. Because Max isn't just a potential signing, he's the man she's been sleeping with in secret for nearly a decade. And if the rumours are true, and Max Verstappen really is joining Mercedes, then Ana's carefully compartmentalised world is about to explode.

Max Verstappen is a World Champion. Isabelle Leclerc is invisible. She watched her family give up everything for Charles' career-Arthur's karting, their father's savings, even her childhood horse. She understood. She never asked for more. But Max does. He notices the things no one else does, listens when no one else will, and puts her first in ways she never imagined. With him, she isn't an afterthought-she's a choice. And for the first time, she realizes she doesn't have to be invisible.

Adelina Ruggiero thought she had her life figured out-Monaco's nightlife at her fingertips, a job she's good at, and the party scene to numb the past she's never truly escaped. Raised without a real family, carrying the scars of loss and loneliness, she's built walls around her heart. Then there's Lando Norris-charismatic, impulsive, and utterly magnetic. They start as nothing more than casual partners in the dizzying world of late-night parties, where bodies are tangled but emotions are kept safely at bay. Until the night that changes everything. Adelina finds herself pregnant, thrown headfirst into a world she's never prepared for. With no roadmap, no guarantee of love, and a past that still haunts her, she must learn what it means to become a mother-and what it means to let someone in.

The only thing standing between Lando and losing everything.. is the woman who can't stand him.
