    Summary

    “It happened because of who we are. The adrenaline, the competition. You beat them, they beat you, and suddenly it feels like something else. Like you need them in ways that don’t make sense off-track. Call it desire, call it whatever. It’s the same rush.”

    Lando stared at Max, wide-eyed. He wanted to crack a joke but nothing came out.

    “But Charles… he’s not wired like me. He felt more. Took it seriously when I thought I could keep it light.”

    Lando’s chest tightened. He could feel it, the truth under the shrug.

    “Oscar’s the same. More like Charles than like me. Than like you. He’ll feel it heavier. Carry it longer. You mess him around, you won’t just hurt him, you’ll regret it yourself.”

    ***

    Or, the one where Lando realizes he might be losing to Oscar on and off the track.

    Summary

    Lando Norris had a Michelin-starred life in London, until his grandma’s will yanked him back to the middle-of-nowhere town he’d escaped. The catch? She left her struggling waffle shop 50/50 to him… and to Oscar Piastri.

    Oscar. The hot, petty baker next door who’s been his childhood enemy since the Great Kangaroo Incident of 2005 (a misunderstanding, for the record). Now, thanks to a clause only a chaotic grandma would write, they’re stuck running the place together.

    It’s a disaster.

    Oscar thinks Lando’s a pretentious city boy who abandoned his roots. Lando thinks Oscar’s a judgemental hermit who seasons everything with spite.

    Their only common ground is a mutual desire to win the town’s annual holiday thing—mostly so they can gloat over each other.

    Between fighting over batter consistency and who gets to use the good mixer, they’ve got twelve days to turn this mess around. But as grudges start to thaw faster than frozen blueberries, they might discover that their grandma’s real recipe wasn’t for waffles at all.

    It was for this. Whatever 'this' is.

    Summary

    Lando’s been using phantom touch on his soulmate for ages—small things, harmless things, just enough to keep himself entertained. A tap here, a brush there. Nothing serious.
    Until one painfully boring debrief, he decides to tickle them.
    Across the room, Oscar Piastri chokes, jerks, and falls clean out of his chair.

    Lando suddenly isn’t bored anymore.

    Summary

    It’s the profound tragedy of Lando’s life, he thinks, to realise he’s in love with his teammate – just as Oscar Piastri makes a habit of standing one step higher on the podium, forcing Lando to crane his neck to look at him.

    Oscar hates watching the light fade from Lando’s eyes with every victory he takes from him. He accepted the inconvenient truth long ago: he loves Lando. But he loves winning more.

    Summary

    “Hello, I am an android built by Cyberlife. I am model OP-810 but you can call me Oscar.”

    An android? Lando’s new personal trainer was an android?

    When Jon had told him he was leaving for a new cushy job with less travelling, Lando was devastated. They’d been working together eight years, since before he’d even made it to formula one.

    Lando had hardly expected his replacement to live up to the incredibly high bar Jon had set, but he'd at least assumed that whoever they were would be, well, a human.

    Instead, standing in front of him was an apathetic, emotionless machine.
