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?

"on the corner of my bed, or maybe on the beach... you can do it on your own, while you're looking at me." LAVINIA WOLFF is the product of Britain's greatest nepotism scandal. Her father: the infamous Toto Wolff, the CEO of the Mercedes F1 team. Her mother: English socialite and ex-model Blair Jenkins. Lavinia certainly had a complicated upbringing, whether you include her parents divorce, their rekindling, her mother abandoning her, her fathers sole focus on business - all resulted in creating a rather confused, hopeless, and insecure young woman. Receiving a lack of attention from her parents, Lavinia revelled in the party scene, involving herself in situations and circumstances her father less that disapproved of. LANDO NORRIS has always been a notorious party boy. Throughout his years in Formula 3 and 2, the teen could never seem to keep himself out of trouble - given, he never wanted to. Bad reputations are prohibited in such public sports such as F1; yet Lando was signed to Mclaren, his past blatantly disregarded. His talent is one to watch - so much so, his less than tame habits could be overlooked. Although he keeps a composed exterior, Lando battles with the consistent pressure of performing, delivering and winning - the cruel side of his conscience threatening to consume him. >>> As the pair contest with their imposing mental implosions, a story of tension, secrets, tragedy and forbidden romance unfolds. Thrust together in a world of dramatics and riches, Lavinia and Lando have to learn to forge their own paths, leaving behind the limitations their previous lives inflicted upon them. But ultimately, will their contorted minds tear apart any possibility of normalcy? Will they be able to get past their apprehensions, their fears, and their addictions?
