They were never meant to last. At least, that's what everyone said.

Lando Norris, Formula 1's golden boy, is used to pressure. The high stakes, the flashing cameras, the constant scrutiny - it all comes with the life he's built. But when Zoë Kingston, the fashion icon who turns heads wherever she goes, steps into his world, she's the one thing that feels untouched by it all.

Until suddenly, she isn't.

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?

For Now, For Good by cherrybloss0m93

A year ago, their paths crossed unexpectedly and whilst timing and circumstances were completely against them, Lando and Baylee couldn't deny the connection between them. They vowed to meet up again, a year from now, when they hoped the world offered them a chance to explore their connection. Lando Norris had no idea that he would gain a seat in McLarens F1 team and whilst Baylee crossed his mind more time than he cared to admit, he was sure she'd forgotten about him long ago. When Baylee shows up at the Australian Grand Prix, Lando must work out if he's able to lose her again, or if he must do whatever he could to make this work. ------------------- * PSA: EVEN THOUGH THE COVER OF THIS BOOK DISPLAYS LUISINHA, THIS STORY IS IN NO WAY A REFLECTION, FANTASY OR IN DISRESPECT TO HER OR THEIR RELATIONSHIP *

The Deception ~ LN4 by pqndvra_

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*

AutumnDR3 II Daniel Ricciardo by asficdiary

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?

slow down | l.n by citygirlgi

Getting into a new relationship is the last thing on Lexi's mind after the trauma her ex causes. That is, of course, until she somehow gets entangled with her best friend's number one nemesis, Lando Norris. Try as she might to keep away from him, the universe seems to have other plans for her whether she likes it or not. At the end of the day, it's a matter of if he can think beyond his own feelings and slow down enough for her to trust him to fall and if she is willing to slow down to actually let herself fall instead of running away from uncertainty.

love, rewritten by oscando814

--- 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. ---

Tolerate it ⁴ by jessieright

When pretending becomes the most honest thing you've ever done. Eloise Mayer never liked Lando Norris. In fact, she barely tolerated him. Arrogant, reckless, and annoyingly magnetic, he's everything she can't stand-on and off the Formula 1 grid. But after one drunken mistake turns into a media scandal, they're forced into a fake relationship to save their reputations... and their careers. Now, she's stuck pretending to love the one person she'd happily crash into at 200 mph. What begins as staged hand-holding and fake smiles slowly unravels into stolen glances, buried feelings, and heartbreak neither of them are ready to admit. As the season stretches on, so does the lie-and somewhere between the podiums, press conferences, and long nights spent not sleeping, Eloise starts to wonder if the only thing she's faking is how much she hates him. But in a world built on image and speed, love is the one thing they can't control. #9 - breakup #9 - landonorris

Everything ⁴ by jessieright
