dare i ask dear maïna. what your favorite mabio podium moments would be ?

CATALUNYA 2019 | Fabio's first podium, Marc doing the "tip of the hat" gesture to him and some classic hand-holding.

ASSEN 2019 | Marc spraying Fabio in the face by surprise (I'll let you guess/remember who he's also done that to in the past).

AUSTRIA 2019 | Fabio bullying Marc this time and Marc being hyper delighted in answer.

MISANO 2019 | We know what that weekend was for Marc re: other things but he also had insane last laps battles with Fabio. Couldn't chose one moment so we get :

Marc applauding Fabio in parc fermé,

drift compatible + hand on back of the head moment on the podium,

bonus : the two of them debriefing the race in the elevator (on their way to the podium) (please look at Marc's face and how happy he is) (full video here).

THAILAND 2019 | The race where Marc famously won his 8th title (and did not need to win the race to get it) after battling with Fabio in the very last laps again. Had Fabio crying after the chequered flag but then it was all good with :

Marc going to Fabio in parc fermé,

Chang International Circuit golf kart to the podium my beloved.

JAPAN 2019 | Fabio getting the "Rookie of the Year" title with :

Marc congratulating Fabio on the title,

Fabio stealing Marc's attention from Dovi and laughing with him (and then them talking together on the whole rest of the way to the podium).

VALENCIA 2019 | Last race of the season, another 1-2 but Marc pulled a gap before the last laps this time. I could have included the sequence before the first gif where Fabio "gently" hits Marc to get his attention and a hug but instead I've given you :

Fabio giving a thumbs up to Santi + a wave and kiss to Roser (which we can see for sure in another angle of that video, it's the cutest thing please),

Post podium/pre press moment where Marc first pulls on Fabio to get his attention and then tells him that Fabio will make his life difficult next season (ugh, what we could have had) and Fabio being at his most golden retriever with the towel in his mouth that he then uses on Marc (your honor, they're flirting).

SACHSENRING 2021 | You don't know how happy it makes me that Fabio got to be there for two of Marc's wins in 2021 (and also there when Fabio won his title). For Germany we have :

Hand-holding post-race,

Press conference moment (look how fond).

COTA 2021 | Always here for cowboys moments :

Gossipy boys in parc fermé,

bonus : Fabio running into an official because he was too busy looking at Marc.

being a mabio shipper is hard because the only time i see them together is when they're next to each other in qualifying

They are and forever will be my roman empire <3

Q : Marquez or Rossi ?

Fabio : Marquez. For me, he's the best of all time. He's done exceptional things so, I'm going to say Marquez.

Q : Gasly or Ocon ?

Fabio : Gasly we've known each other for a while, we've had some really good time together, some good nights/parties as well.

aesthetics for my motorsports fics ➖ apprivoise-moi

Marc half sits-half leans on the stool, keeping his eyes on the ground as Fabio walks behind him, Alex by his side. Marc is used to his brother moving his limbs around to go with his vision™️ and Marc goes with the flow as Fabio’s arm is wrapped around his chest, forearm right under his collarbone. Marc’s left hand gets positioned around Fabio’s arm, a little above his wrist. “Keep your arm there, alright?” Alex instructs Fabio. “Higher and you’ll strangle him. I know it can be tempting at times but please wait for the end of the shoot for that. Only if you’re good at hiding bruises afterward.”

Being Marc Márquez : This Is How I Win My Race | Sepang, 25th of October 2015

also 17 for mabio? 🥺

17. to distract

Malaysia 2019.

Watching Marc pacing around the living room of his motorhome feels like watching a lion in his cage and right then, Fabio isn’t sure that he has in him what it would take to tame the beast.

Fabio wasn’t even supposed to be here. They don’t do Sundays together (not until the race is over, anyway). It feels a little silly to talk about habits already because what they have is so fresh and so new Fabio is constantly amazed about it and worrying about the bubble bursting.

Still, they each have their routine until the race. But on Wednesday night, the two of them in bed with Marc’s head pillowed on Fabio’s chest, he admitted : “I’m already stressed about Alex, I’m going to be insufferable to watch the race with.”

Fabio chuckled and scratched the curls at the base of Marc’s skull. “Good thing I don’t have to be there with you, then, I’ll be praying for your team, though,” he said. And then, Marc raised his head and the question hadn’t escaped his lips yet that Fabio knew he couldn’t refuse.

So now he’s here. He talked with Tom to figure out how to not fuck up his own schedule, went on the grid to give Tony his usual words of encouragement and then joined Marc to watch the Moto3 race with him, the podium currently showing on the screen, Italian anthem playing in the background.

“Marc,” Fabio calls. He almost thinks that Marc is not going to hear him, too focused on his own thoughts, but he does stop moving, turning towards Fabio. “Come here.”

Fabio extends one hand up from where he’s sitting on the couch. It’s just the two of them for now. Alex is getting ready in his box and Marc’s team (including his father) is in the Honda garage where Marc will join them after watching the start and the first couple of laps with Fabio.

(At some point it does need to be a family thing, especially when cameras will be there to film them. Fabio is still surprised that he was asked by Marc’s side for that extended amount of time but he cherishes the moment anyway.)

Marc seems to hesitate for an instant, almost reluctant to stop his silly pacing, but then he starts moving, joining Fabio and letting Fabio tug him down until he’s straddling him and Fabio has one hand on Marc’s jaw, thumb brushing his bottom lip.

Fabio closes the gap between them. Marc is very much not an active participant in that first kiss but he chases Fabio’s mouth for an additional peck and rests their foreheads together after Fabio pulls away.

“Sorry, I know I’m not the best company right now,” Marc mumbles after a sigh.

Fabio smiles. Marc wasn’t nearly as nervous before Thailand a couple of weekends ago and that was his first chance at securing the title this year. It’s cute how much more stressed he gets for Alex. Might be something about the lack of control over the situation, Fabio can understand that.

“So I’ve been warned,” Fabio says before gently kissing Marc again. One of his hands finds Marc’s waist, holding him, and the other goes to Marc’s nape, his thumb rubbing the skin there. “How many turns in Sepang?”

Fabio fights not to smile at Marc’s frown. “I’ve been here like 10 times before, I know the circuit.”

Fabio kisses the corner of Marc’s mouth. He was at home in 2011 and he was in the paddock in 2015. He knows that Marc has some shitty memories here and could use some new good ones.

“I know you do,” Fabio says, drawing back just a little when Marc tries to chase his mouth again. “So, how many turns?”

Marc first huffs and then he says, “15. 5 left-handers, 10 right-handers.”

Fabio uses his hold on Marc’s neck to kiss him properly this time. Marc follows him, his hands slipping under Fabio’s shirt while his tongue pushes at the inseam of Fabio’s lips.

When they part, a quick look at the clock on the wall tells Fabio they still have a good 15 minutes to go before the warm-up lap of the Moto2 race.

“Walk me through the circuit. Tell me which sections are the most critical.”

“Now you’re just trying to have tips to beat me.”

Fabio tilts his head to the side, thumb still drawing mindless patterns against Marc’s neck. “What if I am?”

They share a look, silence filling the room for just a couple of seconds, and then Marc laughs. He squeezes Fabio’s waist once just because he can before he goes, “Well, 1 and 2 are slow corners, you know how to take those. You’re gonna have to take advantage of them to compensate for what the long straights will give to the Ducatis.”

Fabio has no doubt that Marc has seen through him now but he’s no longer pacing a hole through the floor and his heart feels calm against Fabio’s chest so, he deems the distraction a success.

[kingofthering]

marc is just gonna have to snatch at least one more victory this season for us to get a mabio winner’s room… come on mixed weather conditionssssss

Please. At this point I’m gonna have to give it to Fabio no matter what. Not to make myself sad but I think it’ll have to be a little bittersweet?

Like, no matter if it happens in the next 3 races or early 2025, it’ll have Marc back on top racing wise while Fabio is struggling™️ with Yamaha and still mourning the 2019-2021 era.

Like, if it had been Aragon, it was the first one in over 1000 days, Fabio would have been in the best of moods (like he was in Sachsenring in 2021) but now, a couple of Marc wins later? Harder to do the part of things, I think. Not super outwardly (like he doesn’t mean to be having those thoughts) but Marc can tell.

I don’t know what happens (deciding to have a WR universe while not being a big smut writer was maybe not my smartest moment) but I think Marc is pretty good at getting Fabio out of his head and they do have a good time.

[kingofthering]

Trick or Treat!!!

Fabio is playing with his weirdly shaped straw and the pink on his cheeks is easy to notice despite the lights in the club. They’re still sitting awfully close and a big part of Marc (the greedy one, the one he can’t let take control or else—) wants to stay there the whole night.

After a hot second of just looking at Fabio, Marc chuckles a “Right” before getting up. “I’m gonna use the toilet but then we should hit the dancefloor together, yeah?”

Fabio nods and the better side of Marc wins that day.

This is very important to me, Mabio 🫶

Q : Marquez or Rossi ?

Fabio : Marquez. For me, he's the best of all time. He's done exceptional things so, I'm going to say Marquez.

Q : Gasly or Ocon ?

Fabio : Gasly we've known each other for a while, we've had some really good time together, some good nights/parties as well.
