''Serendipity: finding interesting or valuable things by chance.''
Y/N and Carlos Sainz's paths briefly cross during the Monaco GP. Nothing happens, but it leaves an indelible impression on both. Months later, fate brings them together once again and they begin a clandestine journey of friendship and discovery.
NOTES:
- All the race results from today, July 7th, 2023, forwards are made up. Please don't be mad if they don't actually happen.
- All the race dates for 2025 forwards are made up, but kinda based on when the race happened on previous years
- Even though the entire story is written in English, please imagine that all dialogues between Carlos and Y/N are held in Spanish, unless there is a non spanish speaker with them. Same goes for her family: all dialogues in French.
- There will be a song at the beginning of each chapter (spoiler: yes, one of the songs is ''Smooth Operator'' - IYKYK). There are only three songs that aren't in English, but you just have to look up the translation.
- I will post one chapter every Monday, except on August 28th and if something important comes up (your girl is in grad school).
- This is not a place for the hardcore FIA fans (JK hahahha) or old F1 fans that don't respect the newbies and think they know every single thing about F1 ... this is a fanfiction, so no need to get mad if I got some technical term wrong or something like that. I'm new to the sport, so please cut me some slack : )
- There will be some parts which are recycled from my previous stories, but I promise I did my best with the rest S2
- All the thyroid cancer is based on MY OWN experience with it (I'll be two years cancer-free this November 😀)

The Apprenticeship - A Lando Norris FanFiction
You're supposed to start college in September but you get given an amazing opportunity, during that time you meet a boy who has a slight obsession with milk. FYI: I am from the UK meaning College here is different, I am not referring to University when I talk about college. I understand the age gap is inappropriate and I'm sorry. This is a Fan Fiction it is not real in any way shape or form. I have done my research in certain areas just to help. I started this just after Silverstone GP 2021 so it may take a while to finish.

The Deception ~ LN4
When Mercedes, a solo traveler and commercial pilot, finds herself dining alone in Monaco, she never expects the evening to take such a surreal turn. But across the room, she spots Lando Norris, the famous Formula 1 driver, trying to enjoy a quiet dinner away from the constant media buzz. Realizing how little genuine human interaction he likely experiences, Mercedes decides to pretend she doesn't recognize him, offering him a rare moment of normalcy. Their casual conversation about racing, aviation, and life on the road quickly evolves into a connection neither of them anticipated. As the evening unfolds, Mercedes and Lando share an unexpected camaraderie, with Mercedes carefully navigating the line between fan and stranger. But when the truth comes out and Lando realizes she knew exactly who he was all along, it sparks something neither of them expected. Their encounter, initially born out of a small deception, soon turns into a bond that transcends their high-profile worlds. The Deception is a heartwarming and unexpected story of two people from different worlds finding comfort in each other's company - and discovering that sometimes, the truth isn't as important as the connection that forms in its place. *THIS IS BASED IN THE YEAR 2029*Complete

AutumnDR3 II Daniel Ricciardo
Autumn Night never thought of herself as anything special. By day, she worked in her mom's bakery in Milton Keynes. By night, she wrote fanfiction about her favourite Formula One driver, happy to stay behind the screen, living in stories that weren't quite hers. She never expected anyone of power to actually find her writing. And She definitely never expected him to read it. Daniel Ricciardo had never read fanfiction about himself, until his Teammate, Lando Norris, shoves a phone in his face and insisted he reads the story he found on Tiktok. What starts as a joke quickly turns into something else. Her words are sharp. Honest. Surprisingly comforting. He's hooked. Then curious. Then completely in over his head. Telling Lando was his first mistake. Letting him meddle might just be his second. Because suddenly, he's meeting the girl who writes fanfictions about him. And she's everything he didn't know he needed. What could possibly go wrong when your life suddenly starts looking less like reality and more like the plot of a fanfiction?

AGAIN || MAYBE IN ANOTHER LIFE
'I don't want to see him, I can't. I could never look him in the eyes again, because all I'd think about is how it was all my fault.' Two years. That's the time Céline has spent away from home. A few hours. A few hours in the big metropolis to change her life forever. Now she's returned to Monte Carlo, determined to put an end to her past and start living again. But it's not that simple. Her return means facing Charles, the man she once loved more than anything. The man she had to left behind to follow her dream. To avoid the pain, she throws herself into parties, new encounters, and desperate attempts to move on. But fate has other plans. A chance meeting in a bookstore brings her straight in front of Charles. And while Céline tries to forget the past two years in the arms of the charming Liam, her heart still beats for the one person she should no longer want. Charles was finally starting to rebuild his life, but Céline's return shatters every certainty. His green eyes don't lie: he never forgot her. And now that she's standing in front of him again, the line between past and present begins to blur. Secrets, unspoken truths, and a love that seems destined to repeat itself. How is it gonna go this time? 'When he wins he still looks for you in the crowd, under the podium.' #1 in F1romance 13/06/2024 🫀Complete
P1 in Your Heart | Lestappen Post F1 Romance | Max Verstappen X Charles Leclerc
⚠️ Mature Completed Story 18+ ✓ | This fic is set in 2030 Max Verstappen never expected to spend retirement surrounded by glitter glue, pancake disasters, and a five-year-old who thinks "overtaking" applies to bedtime. But here he is, an eight-time world champion turned grumpy dad haunting the karting tracks of his youth, wearing a hoodie of nostalgia and a frown that says please don't ask for an autograph. He's not here for closure. He's here because his daughter likes speed and because standing on the trackside hurts a little less than staying home alone with his regrets. Charles Leclerc didn't dream of coaching kindergarteners with oversized helmets and sugar highs. But a crash stole his career, and this karting track the fumes, the flags, the occasional crying parent is all he's got left. He smiles like it doesn't ache and teaches like he doesn't miss the rush. It's not the future he imagined, but it's something. They weren't best friends. Rivals? Sure. Occasional podium eye contact? Absolutely. But nothing ever happened, at least, not when it mattered. Now they're thirty-three, washed in nostalgia and worn down by everything unsaid. But when Max's hoodie ends up on Charles, when Lilly calls him her "other dad," when burnt toast becomes breakfast and stolen glances linger too long, maybe it's not about racing anymore. Maybe it's about healing. About family. About bad coffee and slow mornings and one last shot at something they never let themselves want. Maybe love doesn't roar at 200mph. Maybe, this time, it tiptoes in through the kitchen door. ~~~ I grew up on F1 but don't expect realism. Expect mess. Bad decisions. Vibes over plot. I have no idea how this happened. One second, I'm vibing. Next, I'm writing a Max/Charles fic with sad dad energy, karting trauma, and chaotic Carlando lurking in the background like gremlins.Complete
