In the world of MotoGP, nothing is ever just personal.
Not love. Not ambition. Not family.
Everything exists under the pressure of speed, scrutiny, and teams that demand loyalty as much as results.
Elena once lived a life defined by chaos and fire with Fermín Aldeguer. It was young, intense, and unforgettable-shaped by adrenaline, distance, and a connection that burned too fast to survive in the long term. From it came their son, Leo, and a past that still exists in shared responsibility, but no longer in shared love.
That chapter is closed.
Fermín remains part of her world only in the way some stories never fully disappear-through history, co-parenting, and the quiet understanding that what they were is no longer what they are.
Now, her present belongs to Álex Márquez.
Calmer. Steadier. Older in the ways that matter.
As teammates under Gresini, Álex and Fermín share the same garage, the same pressure, and the same championship fight-but not the same story. Where one is past, the other is something Elena is still learning how to fall into without fear, without noise, and without the need for survival.
But falling for Álex is not instant. It is not dramatic. It is a slow unfolding in a world that never stops watching, where every glance can become a headline and every silence can become a rumor.
Between race weekends, public speculation, and the fragile balance of blended lives inside the paddock, Elena finds herself navigating something far more complicated than love:
A future that demands peace with the past.
And a present that refuses to stay private.
Because in MotoGP, even moving on is never just personal - it's part of the race.

Shadow in the North
What if a work of fiction wasn't fiction at all? What if we only thought it was fiction because it was written down, and we were separated from it by the page? Isabel Darrow, troubled by her past and feeling disconnected from the world, likes her doctor's suggestion that the world of fiction might become reality. She likes the idea of waking up in the middle of her favourite book with the handsome, brooding Mr Thornton glaring at people in his mill yard, but she doesn't worry about the foul air of dirty, smoky Milton, because it's not real, and it was written over 160 years ago. But then she takes a trip to Oxford, and gets waylaid along the way, finding herself greeted at a smoky train station, by a man called Mr Hale, who claims to be her godfather. When Isabel meets Margaret and first sees Mr Thornton, she's determined to help the course of love run a little more smoothly for the two stubborn lovers. But Gaskell hadn't accounted for a second young lady in the Crampton house, and whilst Isabel tries to adapt to a life where women have no independence or equality, Milton must adapt to her. The question is, will Mr Thornton adapt to her, or Margaret, first?Complete
New Year, Same Us - Auston Matthews
You and Auston had been friends since you were in kindergarten. You were close. Maybe too close from the outside looking in. But that was just you and Auston, never separating, never leaving from the others side. How many times did you have to tell people, "No, we're not a couple." And how many times did your heart burn wishing that you were. You were in love with him, at the very least, and you thought you did a good job at masking it from him. But apparently everyone else saw right through it. (1st person pov, (y/n) main character)Complete
