What was your reaction to seeing the MSR Logan pictures today!! I am so excited!

I woke up to them! (sometimes being in a complete opposite timezone has its advantages.)

I might have squeaked and yelped a bit. Especially Logan in pink! He looks good. Focused. Ready. I wish there was a way to watch this testing. I guess we'll just have to hear how it went after.

I hope so much that not only does he drive well, but he enjoys it.

fic: and it seems like there's no way out of this for me

Rating: Mature

Pairing: nil

Warnings: implied/referenced suicidal thoughts, implied/referenced suicide attempt, burns, injuries, crashes, flashbacks and trauma

Summary:

Logan was clearly in trouble. But Karl Reindler knew what it was to burn. And Dr Ian Roberts had made a promise to the memory of Professor Watkins – a promise he intended to keep.

and it seems like there's no way out of this for me @ AO3

Medical car POV of the chillingly lovely i hope it hurts from @struggle-era

Reading the original first will make more sense.

nobody talk to me pls I am too emotional

Sorry if you've answered this already and I know you're working on gewis prequel now but do you have plans to write the Maxiel story for that verse? I'm dying to find out how Prince Daniel ended up with someone untitled.

Yes! I was actually daydreaming about this story this morning.

The Maxiel story is obviously very much linked to Christian and Toto's story, so it will come after theirs, and that is mapped out in my mind. You will all love the Maxiel meet cute, I hope.

As you've all probably seen, the Big Bang fic turned into both a monster and an agonising labor of pain and love, so I have neglected the britcedes prequel, but that will be back up and running again soon so hopefully you will not have too long to wait.

Summary

Daniel has heard a lot of myths and legends about the Formula One grid since he arrived in Europe. He doesn’t generally pay them any mind, because they’re obviously fake: podium finishers turning into girls or champions sprouting wings sounds like the most ridiculous thing he’s ever heard.

Then Daniel actually makes it, and Mark teaches him that one myth is true: a more experienced driver always takes a young driver under his wing, to teach them the ways of the paddock and the sport.

Time passes, and Daniel becomes the experienced one, passing on his wisdom, knowledge, and skill to the next generations. But things don’t always run smoothly, and Daniel finds himself aching and hollow, always seeking one answer: can he really find someone to love for all of his life?

Or: five times Daniel had a fling with another driver, and one time he found the one he wanted to keep.

I hope you are well!!!

Thankyou, I am well. Just extremely busy right now - and you'll see why tomorrow or in a day or two... ;)

And now I've gotta move house, so, busy again! Hoping to write more soon though.

Did you see that Jack Doohan got the second Alpine seat?

Whoops, this has been sitting here a while!

Yes, I did see. I'm so proud of him. He's going to do so well and really deserves this chance.

[nothingelsematterswrites]

I don’t remember specifically what fic brought me to your blog but it was definitely Queen back in the BoRhap days.

Ooooh, a long-timer! I'm glad you're still here <3

[nothingelsematterswrites]

I loved it by the way it was great and I love the gewis as well

Thankyou very much! <3 I'm glad that so many people like my foray into the Regency AU!

[nothingelsematterswrites]

This is your life dont play hard to get, for your most recent post

I'm glad! welcome!

Britcedes are finally married 🥳🥳🥳

The end of the hungarian gp was...odd to say the least but getting to read the new chapter afterwards healed all wounds. Roughly how many chapters are there left in this fic?

They are finally married!

I cannot talk civilly yet about the end of the Hungarian GP so I am glad I posted that chapter beforehand. I believe we are probably still at least four chapters away from the end as obviously we have certain other things to address ;) but it could be more!

[nothingelsematterswrites]

new ask game for my writers: reblog for your followers to anonymously (or not) tell you what fic brought them to your blog :)

[nothingelsematterswrites]

that moment when you realise you may need to cool off from a fic for a moment...

...because you gave a certain Earl an important role in coming chapters...

...and right now you hate his IRL counterpart.

(still working on the britcedes prequel, folks. just...not exactly happy with how summer break began)

[nothingelsematterswrites]

There he is!!!!!

Daniel congratulates Oscar on 1st win!!!!!!!

[nothingelsematterswrites]

I should be happier than I am, and I'm angry that I'm not.

Thanks McLaren for fucking that up so utterly.

...also for making me so angry that it's 2am and I can't sleep.

fic: rest your weary head and let your heart decide (chapter fourteen)

Pairing: George Russell/Lewis Hamilton

Rating: Explicit

Summary:

In which it is finally wedding day in Brackley.

rest your weary head and let your heart decide (chapter fourteen) @ AO3

[nothingelsematterswrites]

Will you please bless us with the titles and pairings and general vibes of the now expanded regency verse please i am begging you 🙏🙏

Or is it a surprise ���👀

I knew that would get some questions!

Full caveat: I have no timeline for writing/posting these, which are largely concepts, and the order may yet change depending on whose story I'm vibing with the most (except two of them are going to be in exactly that order).

Part 1: this is your life, don't play hard to get (Oscar & Logan's story)

Part 2: rest your weary head and let your heart decide (George & Lewis' story)

Part 3: open up your mind and let me step inside (Mick & Jack's story) - arranged marriage setting, family trauma, infertility

Part 4: when you're feeling down and your resistance is low (Christian & Toto's story) - arranged marriage setting, enemies to enemies to enemies to reluctant friends to lovers, inheritance requirements

Part 5: my game of love has just begun (Daniel & Max's story) - forbidden love, hidden identity, prince/pauper, age gap

Part 6: all you have to do is fall in love (Lando & Carlos' story) - love at first sight, overcoming obstacles

Part 7: it's so easy when you know the rules (Mark & David's story) - forbidden love, same-sex relationship, hidden relationship

Notes:

3 & 4 are the only stories that will open with the wedding, as the focus will largely be on what happens after

4 will include a large time skip (for reasons that will be obvious later)

obviously, 4 & 5 will be the only two that are in exact order because 5 will contain spoilers for 4

3 is going to be the big angst story of the series

7 is going to link back to 1 (obviously)

6's whole existence is...nebulous and its writing is likely to be most affected by RL

There may be an 8th story, which would be more of a collection of lore and short insights into other pairings (like Piarles)
