RUN FOR THE HILLS - Landoscar
In the world of Formula 1, everything moves at a blistering speed-but for Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, it's the race off the track that tests them the most. Lando and Oscar have always been rivals. Teammates, yes, but friendly competition has always been at the heart of their relationship. What started as an easy camaraderie begins to shift into something far more complicated, something neither of them is prepared for. The first sparks of attraction fly during a late-night party in Monaco, their eyes meeting in a way that says more than words ever could. The chemistry is undeniable, but so are the stakes of their careers. As the season progresses, their connection only deepens, and with it comes the fear of what it might mean for both their futures in the sport. Lando, terrified of risking everything he's worked for, starts pulling away, trying to convince himself that their bond is nothing more than a fleeting distraction. Oscar, on the other hand, refuses to back down. He's tired of pretending, tired of running from something that feels too right to ignore. When a collision on the track mirrors the turmoil building between them, they are forced to confront the reality of what they're truly feeling-and whether love in the fast lane is worth the risk of everything they've built. As they navigate the tension of unspoken words, broken trust, and a growing desire, Lando and Oscar must decide: is their bond a fleeting moment in the fast-paced world of F1, or is it something worth fighting for? In the race of their lives, there are no guarantees-but maybe, just maybe, there's more to life than the finish line.Complete

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.

love, rewritten
--- 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. ---Complete
