Fred durst nsfw and sfw headcannons

Summary: basically just what I think Fred would be like in a relationship with you

WARNING: fluff and smut

Sfw

-he brags to his bandmates about you and thinks you don’t know

-he calls you sweet nicknames like “love” "sweetheart” “baby” and “honey”

-HE WILL HUG YOU FROM BEHIND (even when you’re not expecting it)

-he thinks he’s tuff shit but when you two are alone he’s the biggest softy ever, he will fully lay on top of you and nuzzle his face into your neck

-he will hold hands with you wherever you two go, it doesn’t matter where you are or whose watching He. Will. Hold. Your. Hand.

-he’s the biggest cuddle fan ever, he will cuddle with you everywhere, on the bed, on the couch, even while you’re sitting, he’ll find a way to cuddle with you

-he likes to give you lazy kisses in the morning, when you two are about to fall asleep, taking naps with him

-he has his own bedroom but he never uses it, you refer to his room as “the guest room” on how much he doesn’t use it

-he won’t shower unless you go with him, he likes to see you wash his fuzzy hair, and he’ll ask you to wash his back but he just wants you to give him a back rub

-when he’s out with you in public he will let people know that your his, just by putting an arm around you or holding your hand

-he loves your cooking, he always makes sure to tell you how much he loves your cooking

-taking care of him when he’s drunk… he can be a bit of a mess, he sometimes cries on your lap and one time threw up on you, he started crying because he just threw up on you but you reassured him that you were fine and you could just wash these clothes

-the type of connection that he has with you is like no other relationship he’s been in, he feels like he can talk to you about anything and you won’t Jude him. He’s been in pretty toxic relationship, but this one was special

-sometimes when he’s drunk he’ll think of why you would want to be with someone like him, then he drunkenly pores out all of his emotions, it’s mostly him crying because of how much he loves you. You always comfort him and tell him you’ll never leave him, it’s either him crying in your lap and has his arms wrapped around you or he’s cuddling with you to get rid of his feelings

-you’re always the cure to his hangover, he’d be very touchy and affectionate with you, he’d want to cuddle with you and make him breakfast in bed

-you love his beard, and it’s something you find attractive about Fred, but also his body hair, he’s always suggesting to shave but you refuse every time

-Fred’s favourite part about you is your smile, it lights up a room and his heart, it’s the first thing he feel in love with when he met you

-how you and Fred met: you two met in Highschool, he was failing science and you were chosen to be the person to help him, in hs he had a reputation for being kind of mean and a playboy but when you got to know him better, he wasn’t like that at all, he was really kind and when he invited you over to his house to study for a science test his mom was the sweetest, when she first met you she asked Fred if you were his girlfriend right in front of you. His mom still adores you to this day, when you two started dating she would make you homemade gifts, and you still have them sitting on a shelf

Nsfw

-Fred LOVES receiving, he’ll get you to suck his dick anywhere, before a concert, in another persons house. He loves the risk of going into semi public places

-he loves the way you give him a blowjob, he thinks you’re the best at it, even if it’s a handjob under the table

-when he’s receiving he will whine, whimper, and beg. He doesn’t care about being dominate when you’re giving him a bj

-oh boy but when he’s eating you out, he’s a monster. He likes it best when you sit on his face and ride his tongue, he likes seeing your hips roll into his mouth

-when you’re riding his face he will grip your thighs so you stay on his face, you get concerned if he can breathe but he assures you he’s fine

-Fred is into all types of things, like he loves it when he gets to pound into you from behind and feel how tight you are

-Fred will come inside of you any chance he gets, he loves seeing you filled up with his cum, and he goes crazy when he hears you moan his name

-he LOVES watching you ride him, you helplessly bouncing on his cock, he will give you hickeys on your chest when you’re riding him,

-he praises you every time, like when you’re going down on him “oh fuckk… your doing sooo good Y/N” or when he’s pounding into you “yeah, I fucking love this pretty pussy” or “good fucking girl…”

-his favourite positions are doggy, cowgirl, and missionary. He’s a simple guy

-when he’s doing missionary, he pushes down on your stomach to feel himself inside of you, it also makes you moan louder

-Fred groans and moans like a bitch when he’s giving it to you “fuck! I’m cuming” he groans out loud. Sometimes you’re scared that the neighbours might hear the two of you

-you’re first time with Fred: Fred was nervous as HELL even tho he’s the one that initiated it, but once the foreplay was over he was confident, he started off slow but picked up the pace once you adjusted to his size, he held onto your shoulders as your arms wrapped around his neck. For your guys first time he pulled out and came all over your stomach but your second time, you were begging him to cum inside of you

-he LOVES shower sex, just your wet bodys pressing against each other, and his cum dripping down your leg

-he will fuck you backstage before a concert, and the other guys pretend not to know what’s been going on

-just like his hairy chest, you don’t mind his pubes, he likes to keep it trimmed a bit but you don’t care

-when you’re going down on him he’ll go nuts when you play with his balls, I mean he’ll start trusting up into your mouth and hold your head down

-he sometimes likes to record you two having sex, but he never shows it to anyone else, when he’s desperate he’ll jerk off in an empty washroom to your tapes. He’s a desperate bastard and he’ll imagine you riding his cock while doing it

[empresskadia]

Okie, so here is my Fred-104 thought.

If this man is comfortable with you or feels any sort of spark, he is phenomenal at comforting you [don't get me wrong, he can still be awkward as heck but he'll be the first to react]. This is the scenario in my head,

You've worked with Blue team a handful of times, dare I say y'all are friends, dare I say, something more, take that as you will. One day you happen to receive bad news, something awful, a friend dies, some loved one has passed away, etc.

The Spartans have never seen you cry, so imagine their surprise when they see you kneeling on the floor, head in your hands and Fred asks are you okay and you look at him and just start sobbing. Full tears steaming down your face.

They don't know wtf to do. They're awkward, they don't handle crying people. Their first split-second reaction is to peace the hell out and find someone who can handle this. Que hand signals between them.

Kelly thinks someone's hurt you and is ready to take someone's head.

Linda is scanning you for any injuries, trying to figure out how the hell to approach this situation.

John is thinking about an appropriate response, are you going into shock? Does he talk to you?

But it's Fred, who steps up and kneels down next to you, hand hovering above your shoulder waiting to see if you want him to leave then ultimately placing his hand on your back, rubbing circles while you're hysterically crying. He's the one who pulls you into a hug because he knows it's supposed to help comfort and continues the gentle circles until you've calmed down enough to talk.

Anyways that's kinda of my thought, thanks for joining me.

That’s That Me Espresso

Pairing: Charles Leclerc x Hispanic/Latina! Reader

Summary: Charles and Y/N have been dating for a few weeks, they met after the Suzuka Grand Prix. Even though their relationship has been short lived, there’s something about her that has Charles down bad. They are living proof of how the boyfriend should always like the girlfriend more.

Warning: Grammatical and spelling errors

A/N: For those who voted for idea 2, about Charles being auctioned off for charity? Yeah, I'm not vibing with that idea anymore. But i am working on the fanfic where Charles thinks Y/N likes Lando.

Charles was never one to chase girls. Sure, in every relationship he was in, he was the best boyfriend he could be, he would be so devoted to them. But in his current relationship, he has never felt this way before. He was away for the Imola Grand prix and he couldn't sleep so he decided to call Y/N. After a few rings, she answered.

"Bueno?" Y/N asked sleepily.

"Hello, mon ange, did I wake you?" Charles asked.

"Sort of, is something wrong, Charlie?" Y/N asked.

"Oh nothing, I'm just having trouble sleeping without you here, you know?" Charles said.

"I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to this Grand Prix, cariño, i just have a lot of in-person meetings. Plus, you've been to countless races before, you would think you'd be used to sleeping alone." Y/N said.

"Yes, but that was before i met you. Now when i'm in bed alone, it feels like I'm missing something.” Charles confessed.

“You’re so sweet. But seriously, muñeco, you have media day in the morning, and I can’t have you be sleepy during the interviews, Fred would kill you.” Y/N said.

“No he wouldn’t, I’m il predestinato, the prince of Ferrari.” Charles said.

“Muñeco.” Y/N warned.

“Alright Mon ange, I’ll go to sleep, but please FaceTime me before you go to work.” Charles said.

“Of course, Charlie. Te quiero mucho, Goodnight.” Y/N said.

“Yo también te quiero, Goodnight.” Charles tried his best to say in Spanish and he hung up.

The next morning, Y/N woke up, showered, did her after shower routine, got dressed and she was about to make breakfast when Charles decided to FaceTime her. She answered.

“Muñeco, how are you? Did you get some sleep?” Y/N asked.

“I did actually, it took a while though.” Charles said.

“Well when you’re back in Monaco, I’ll be sleeping by your side.” Y/N said, she set her phone against something in the kitchen so she can make pancakes.

“Sounds perfect, I’ll be counting down the days.” Charles said.

“You think you’ll make podium?” Y/N asked.

“I’ll dedicate my podium to you, Mon ange.” Charles said. They kept talking while Y/N made her breakfast, Charles also took his phone with him to eat when his room service came so they had breakfast together,

“Charlie, baby, i need to go to work, okay, I’ll talk to you soon, te quiero.” Y/N said.

“Yo más.” Charles replied and hung up the call. There was a knock on his hotel room door and he opened it to see Carlos. “Good morning, Carlos.”

“Morning. Were you talking with Y/N?” Carlos asked

“Yes i was.” Charles replied smiling.

“Ay, I should have known, she has you completely smitten.” Carlos says.

“I know, mate, there’s just something about her.” Charles said, sighing like a person in love.

“You are whipped, it’s entertaining to see you like that. We need to head to paddock now for the interviews.” Carlos said before him and Charles left the hotel room.

Meanwhile, Y/N was finishing up her third meeting of the day when she got w FaceTime call from Y/N so she excused herself.

“Charlie querido, what is it? I’m technically still in a meeting.” Y/N said.

“Sorry Mon ange, I just wanted to see how you are, I am on break right now and then I have more interviews before the race,” Charles said.

“I’m fine, just a little tired, I call you later tonight okay? Then you can tell me all about your day. Te quiero.” Y/N said, blowing him a kiss.

“Yo más” Charles said, doing the same thing before hanging up. Y/N was about to enter the conference room again but she was stopped by her assistant.

“You got that man wrapped around your finger.” Monica commented,

“Well i wouldn’t necessarily say that I have him wrapped around my finger. Pero es si, lo tengo mal (But Yeah, i got him down bad).” Y/N said.

“How? Like what’s your secret?” Monica asked.

“There’s no secret, it’s just that me espresso.” Y/N said.

“Ha ha, no go, you have a meeting to run.” Monica said. Y/N entered the conference room to continue the meeting.

Her workday was done and she got a text from Charles and it was a link to one of his interviews. She clicked on it and she was watching it but there was a question that Charles answered that surprised her.

“Charles Leclerc, what is your favorite saying?” The interviewer asked.

“I Don’t know if it’s a popular saying or an actual saying in general, but my girlfriend says ‘that’s that me espresso’. When she was younger, her mom would say she was like a shot so espresso because of how hyper and energetic she was as a child, basically bouncing off the walls. So now when I ask her a question about anything she does, she’ll say that’s that me espresso or it’s just that me espresso, meaning that’s just how she is. How do I get crying babies to stop? That’s that me espresso, I have no idea but I guess I just have a calming presence.” Charles said laughing. Y/N stopped the video and FaceTimed Charles,

“Hey Muñeco.” Y/N said.

“Hello, ma Belle, did you see that interview?” Charles asked.

“I did, you used my phrase.” Y/N said.

“Of course I did, it’s my favorite saying in the world, it perfectly describes you. You are a shot of espresso, a moment with you has me smiling for hours, I can’t get enough of you.” Charles said,

“Eres tan cursi (you are so cheesy) but i love that about you.” Y/N said.

They continued talking until it was time for bed.

Race Weekend was done and Y/N can continue working from her home office, she didn’t didn’t have any meetings to attend to in person, she was free. She was finishing up some files when the doorbell rang. Y/N got up and answered the door and she saw a huge bouquet of her favorite flowers (mine are peonies because of Blair Waldorf).

“Whats this?” Y/N asked and the bouquet of flowers were lowered to reveal a smiling Charles Leclerc. “Muñeco!”

“Mon ange!” Charles exclaimed, they entered her apartment and they hugged as soon as charles put the bouquet on the kitchen counter, he spun her around and out her back on the ground to leave her kisses all over her face. “I missed you so much.”

“I missed you too, I thought you weren’t coming until tomorrow, did you come here straight from the airport?” Y/N asked, taking in Charles’s hoodie and baggy jeans,

“Yes I did. I stopped by the florist first, obviously.” Charles said, gesturing to the bouquet,

“They’re beautiful.” Y/N said. “What brings you here?”

“Because I wanted to tell you up something important. I know we haven’t been dating for a long time but I have never felt this strongly about someone, I love you, te amo, estoy enamorado de ti (i am in love with you).” Charles said. Y/N starts tearing up,

“Ay muñeco, yo también te amo.” Y/N said, hugging him. “Je suis amoureux de toi.” Now it was Charles’s turn to tear up, she just told him she was in love with him too. They kissed.

“I fall in love with you more and more each day, I can’t get enough of you, how do you do that?” Charles asked, brushing Y/N’s hair back. Y/N just shrugged.

“That’s that me espresso.” Y/N said and both of them laughed, Charles pulled Y/N onto the couch and started talking about where to go out today,

The End

I had no idea where I was going with this short imagine but I hope y’all like it!

VALL Chapter 1 - The Warning

So as a recap - yes I run this substack. No, I haven't read this novel. I'm really looking forwards to getting to experience new (to me) canonical Sherlock Holmes for the very last time in my life... and I'm going to write a bunch about it, so hold on tight.

“I am inclined to think—” said I. “I should do so,” Sherlock Holmes remarked impatiently. I believe that I am one of the most long-suffering of mortals; but I'll admit that I was annoyed at the sardonic interruption.

LOL I love how we jump right into Holmes and Watson banter. Watson's understated "“you are a little trying at times" reminds me of his reaction to Holmes shooting holes in the walls at Baker Street being "I felt strongly that neither the atmosphere nor the appearance of our room was improved by it."

Of course we don't get any indication of the tone in which he says these things, but I think we can guess Watson is countering with a little acerbic wit of his own.

So, Holmes has received a letter from a mysterious figure known as 'Porlock'

Picture to yourself the pilot fish with the shark, the jackal with the lion—anything that is insignificant in companionship with what is formidable:

This idea of the pilot fish is a very cool metaphor. Unfortunately it is entirely ruined for me because it was also used in the Christmas Invasion episode of Doctor Who to describe these things and that's always where my brain is going to go:

Porlock is one of Moriarty's henchmen or representatives! Which makes me interested in the fact that I've never come across this character in pastiches or adaptations or fanfic - why not?

(Also it makes no sense for Watson to know all about Moriarty but that's a Continuity Thing and we all know Arthur Conan Doyle didn't let that sort of thing get in the way of telling his story - more power to him, honestly.)

“You are developing a certain unexpected vein of pawky humour, Watson, against which I must learn to guard myself.

I JUST SAID THAT, HOLMES.

“May I be there to see!” I exclaimed devoutly.

Well THAT is a sucker punch of a line. No, Watson, you won't be there to see, I'm afraid. See, there will be this Swiss boy... anyway, we're getting off track.

Turns out Porlock is a bit of a mole (I wouldn't quite go so far as to say 'double agent'), and has been giving Holmes information provided he is paid enough. This includes a secret cipher which relates to a particular book, which Holmes assumes will arrive in the second post.

GUTTED I didn't read this book when I was 11, I loved ciphers and would have lapped this up.

“Your native shrewdness, my dear Watson, that innate cunning which is the delight of your friends...

"your friends" Lol Holmes just say "Me" we know that's what you mean - and gosh, he's being so sarcastic with Watson!

Billy the page shows up with the second post and readers, I CHEERED at Billy. Does he say anything? No. But BILLY!!! Alas the letter from Porlock says that he just had an unpleasant encounter with Moriarty (with an envelope addressed to 221b in his possession, whoops!) and so so he won't be sending along the key to the cypher.

I love that Holmes' reaction to this isn't frustration at not getting his cypher, but worry for Fred Porlock, and hope that Moriarty doesn't actually suspect him. THIS is why I love Canon Holmes - I think he is fundamentally kind...

“Perhaps there are points which have escaped your Machiavellian intellect.

Holmes points out that they might be able to work out which book is required for the cypher, and guides Watson through his deductive process - which is adorable. And I loved following along with it too - with my knowledge of Victorian ephemera I was hoping it was going to be a Bradshaw, but as Holmes notes to both Watson and me, the range of vocabulary needs to be broader!

It's a Whitaker's Almanac! But not the new edition - the old one. This is a fun little reversal which gives us a moment of Holmes thinking he's 'failed'.

The message suggests that someone called Douglas who lives at Birlstone House, Birlstone, is in danger.

(Clearly this is a totally different house to Hurlstone, from Musgrave Ritual....)

After deciphering the message, Holmes and Watson get a visit from an Inspector MacDonald. I was a little sorry this isn't one of the familiar Yarders (Hopkins, my beloved...) but I'm going to be interested to get to know him. Alas, Holmes is too late to save Douglas - he has already been murdered.

***

So, uh, I'm having the time of my life reading this, honestly. It's such incredibly good fun. I'm intrigued that whatever has happened to Douglas must somehow be linked to Moriarty.

There's a lot of banter about Watson's intellect which I feel should frustrate me more, a lot of the dialogue feels like it's bordering on being quite patronising to Watson, but I think his reactions suggest this is comfortable back and forth done from a place of security in each other.

F1 FANFICS REC LIST - Loscar - Part II

everything's gonna be fine (I got all my friends with me) (3808 words) by papayabrain Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Summary: He’s pretty sure McLaren wouldn’t actually fire him, okay, but he still feels he has every reason to be scared shitless about the response. Coming out is never easy, but it is basically taboo in the world of motorsports. He’s more likely to get forced back in than allowed to be himself and he doesn’t even want to go fully public yet, neither does Logan.  Or: Oscar wants to come out to his team; Lando, it turns out, is more than an ally; and Logan’s teammate, Alex, suggests a triple date in Monaco.

oOoOoOo

The Whipped Boyfriends Club (8457 words) by DamsInDistress Summary: This is how he’s gonna get sacked. Not because he messed up on track but because he’s an idiot who can’t stand seeing Oscar Piastri look like a sad puppy.

oOoOoOo

the red parts (14065 words) by miamis Rating: Explicit Summary: “But Logan is a Beta,” Oscar says, like this might be brand-new information. “Betas don’t have heats.” Lando shrugs. “Your guess is as good as mine, mate.”

oOoOoOo

you make the rockin' world go round (2082 words) by nothingelsematters Rating: Explicit Summary: Oscar wants to give Logan a reward after his first race in F1. Logan already has some ideas.

oOoOoOo

galaxy collapse (somebody scream) (12699 words) by attraqtia Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Summary: “Good morning Logan.” Oscar says as the first thing on the first day of testing over the radio and Logan returns back to his thoughts of screaming, almost vibrating out of his seat in excitement. Goes back to his year old promise of not doing anything stupid ten seconds into the season. Hopes that when the cameras catch his inevitable joy after he gets back to the garage it will be brushed off to just being glad to be back in the car, rather than anything else. OR: Logan is a smitten rom com protagonist, Oscar is the calm and collected love interest. Fred, Alex, and Liam are the Greek chorus that wants out of this mess.

oOoOoOo

Kachow (And Other Ways to Say I Love You) (7961 words) by SyrupLime Rating: Mature Summary: Oscar finds him after Zandvoort curled up in his comforter watching Cars. The only surprising thing about the scene is how he got a DVD player within four hours.  -- Sometimes Logan and Oscar find each other after bad results. Sometimes they find each other after good ones. But every time, one thing stays the same: they end up watching the Cars movies.

oOoOoOo

show me how you show off (6078 words) by miamis Rating: Explicit Summary: “I don’t spend a lot of time on boats, mate,” Oscar dismisses, shaking his head. He feigns an immense amount of interest in the peeling edge of his bottle’s label, picking at it with a clammy thumb. “Maybe you should think about it, then,” Logan says, all-confident. Oscar finally spares a look at him, finding Logan’s far-away gaze just as entrancing as he shouldn’t. “Bent over port side, sun all over you…” he trails off, making an odd gesture, and adds, “it’s like heaven, man.”

Ask game: 001, Candace x Jeremy

Ah, Canderemy. They're delightful:

when I started shipping it if I did:

I've kind of always shipped them, like 'ah, Candace and Jeremy go together', but it's only been in this rewatch that I've actually gone 'I am obsessed with these adorable cuties, they're actually perfect'

my thoughts:

They're perfect, they go together so well, they adore each other, they're endgame to me.

What makes me happy about them:

I just love how much Jeremy obviously loves Candace--he's just as flustered asking her out as she is to be asked out, he just rolls with her insanity, and he just loves her for who she is.

What makes me sad about them:

I guess that they don't have as many focus episodes as I wish they did.

things done in fanfic that annoys me:

I'm not a huge fan of where writers write their relationship as though Candace's crazy is specifically what Jeremy likes about her, as though his type is crazy girls or something like that. I just feel like it devalues the fact that Jeremy likes her neither for her crazy or in spite of it, but rather because she is Candace.

things I look for in fanfic:

To be honest, there isn't enough Canderemy fanfic, I take what I can get--although I am trying to fill that gap with my current P&F mystery fanfic, which has plenty of Canderemy. I guess, if I had to say what I looked for it would be them being written correctly.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

This is tough, because they're made to be IMO. I think @cometcrystal is correct that other than Jeremy, Stacy is really the only other option for Candace, because they're the only two people who even remotely get Candace. I have no idea who else Jeremy can end up with--someone nice hopefully.

My happily ever after for them:

Happily married, with their three children (Amanda, Xavier and Fred). Candace is a prosecution attorney, Jeremy's a music teacher (I'm aware that these are popular headcanons, but I delight in them).

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

Candace is the little spoon. She deserves to be held.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:

I'm not sure about favourite, but in my heart, they go to comic conventions together, both being huge nerds.

RadioApple Week ; ~DANCE~ I forget the day number oops)

Am I doing this right?! I completely missed this whole week because I literally just rejoined tumblr. Anyway, here's my out of context mid-fanfic contribution to RadioApple Week. (You'll have to forgive the inconsistencies of Alastor's knowledge of the song it's an unedited WIP, regardless one of my favorite scenes)

-Getting the ballroom ready for a patron's wedding venue

-Fred Astaire songs ensue

**********

"You shouldn't apologize." 

Alastor looked away from Lucifer at the blue windows, as if invested in them instead of what he had just seen- a magnetic little creature bouncing and brimming with ideas, his eyes shining with the love of dreams and invention. Lucifer was... 

Well, he was rather cute at that moment.

"Pardon?" 

"Oh," Alastor said, "I mean, you shouldn't apologize for loving something. Don't bring yourself down. It will turn you cold." 

He allowed a true grin and added, "Anyway, if you should turn all depressed and miserable on us, your daughter will have a fit, and that ruins everyone else's day." 

"Yeah you're right," Lucifer said. "Huh. So what do you know about being depressed and miserable?" 

"Nothing at all," Alastor responded airily, "Shall we let Charlie know this may be the only available room?" 

"Sure." 

Lucifer turned around and on a whim it seemed, made blue and white twinkle lights appear around the ceiling rim with a wave of his hands, making the room seem full of starlight. 

Alastor heard him whistling a tune from behind him.

"What is that from?" It sounded familiar. 

Lucifer chuckled, "You're a fan of tap dance, and you don't know Fred Astaire? He is *the* king of tap. It's from Top Hat." 

"I don't watch picture shows."

He was lying. He remembered that song, now. He'd seen the movie, used to play it on repeat back when he'd actually owned a television set...before Vox had inexplicably ruined them for him.

"You should. You'd like that one. *Isn't this a lovely day to be caught in the rain?*," Lucifer sang. 

Alastor heard the little patter of a tap routine being conducted behind him and he whirled about to see it, amused. 

"You dance like Fred." 

Lucifer tried out a few different simpler footworks.

"Thought you don't watch 'picture shows.' And really? I always thought I was more of a Ginger." 

"I've seen it. And Fred's style is ecstatic. Well. More airy...he'd off and fly away if he didn't have her to  ground him." 

"You were going on your way now you've got to remaaaain..." 

"Oh, do stop, we have things to do." Alastor shoved him away, only for the little king to bounce back on his left, continuing to sing, "Just as you were going, leaving me all at seaaa! Gah!" (Alastor had shoved him again) 

"The clouds broke! They broke, and oh, what a break for mee!" 

Alastor whirled to get in his face, "Will you not shut your trap!" 

"I will after you dance with me. I know you adore the routine. I can see it. Your feet don't lie," Lucifer grinned. 

Alastor did. He knew how the song continued. He knew every inch of this scene; he'd watched it many times. It was one of the only movies he *would* sit and watch.

I can see the sun up high, though we're caught in a storm... 

I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm.

He remembered the expressiveness of Ginger's face as Fred cooed this song to her, giving him the time of day only in her smile, then giving up halfway through the song to let herself dance with him. 

Alastor let his radio crackle into the air, summoning the rest of the song with ease. 

"Let the rain pitter patter, but it really doesn't matter if the skies are gray...long as I can be with you, it's a lovely day!"~, Fred Astaire's voice echoed about the empty and softly lit ballroom. 

"You win. I'll dance," Alastor smirked, "But can you keep up?" 

"Oh it's on, Ginger!" Lucifer chuckled. 

"Then take it away, Fred." 

Astaire was a leader in his style, and Ginger a follower. Lucifer...there was that dominating presence again, that shine of confidence as they moved together, their footsteps and the song echoing around the room in tandem. It was one of the only times, Alastor thought, that he did not mind dancing in a style was more fluid, more of a matcher for his partner, and Lucifer's beat and energy was right on time with his. 

"Do you know round? How about swing?" Alastor tried a deviation from the movie routine and barely gave Lucifer time to adjust, but he caught on quickly, his deep laugh bouncing off the walls, then lost it just as fast but cracking up again as he tried to regain his balance. 

"Those are my feet you are trampling all over, sir," Alastor complained, catching Lucifer before he could stumble again and hit the floor. 

The music was reaching the faster part now, the bit that was full of thunderstorm noises and lightning, but they both were stationary- 

"Hah," Lucifer, still in Alastor's arms, looked up at him grinning, "A good dance partner you are not. Who throws styles all over the place like confetti?" 

"Hmm perhaps it's your fault for not reading my mind," Alastor responded. 

"Hey radio face, if I could read your mind, I'd have a whole lot of answers to a whole lot of questions I have right now." 

"Lucifer...shut up." 

"Make me," Lucifer challenged. 

Alastor kissed him. 

It was Lucifer's turn to make a noise of surprise and protest, to resist just the tiniest bit, push at Alastor's chest with his hands uselessly, then quickly melt...his lips were hot, and skilled, and now that Alastor was close to him again, he was detecting a soft sweet scent like perfume or shower soap.. 

Or..apples.

Just when Alastor wished it to go on further Lucifer drew them apart, whispering, his breath warm on his lips, and said, "Alastor...you're confusing the *shit* out of me right now." 

"Hmm...well," Alastor murmured, then grinned, "Payback's just an ornery old bitch, isn't it?"- he patted Lucifer's cheek sassily, "We should go and see what your daughter thinks of the room." 

With that, he left Lucifer behind, who was muttering some curse or other under his breath.

[browneyesandhair]

✨Talk Shop Tuesday✨ How about a self-rec mini-list of fics you had the most fun writing / your all time favorites to write and what you found most fun or love about each?

Sorry for the delay here! This is a big screen question (aka - I can't answer this from my phone, so had to be when I could sit down with my laptop).

The list got long, so I'm dropping it below the cut. I'm pulling my favs across the fandoms: Harry Potter, Bridgerton, Percy Jackson, The Vampire Diaries, and Wizards of Waverly Place. I'm going to use this formating.

Fandom

Pairing Story: Summary What I like about it

Harry Potter

Gen How to Make a Horcrux: “I don’t know what terrible thing you’ve done to get assigned to my class,” a sharply dressed man said as he walked from the doorway to the desk in front of the lecture hall. The professor glanced at all of them from behind his glasses and placed his briefcase on the desk. Grabbing a piece of chalk, the professor turned to the board and wrote out “Four” with numbers 1-4 below it. What I like about it: This story had a nice well-rounded feel to it. It's basically a How to Get Away with Murder AU with Tom as the professor and a fun cast of clever individuals. It ignores canon and has a quasi-modern/fantastical feel to it.

Gen I made my family disappear: “What was that?” James thundered. “I wish that I didn’t have any family!” Harry yelled back. “Get out of my sight this instance!” James yelled. What I like about it: This is a Home Alone AU with a young Harry. While canon Harry starts as a child, I read so much fanfic with him as an adult that it took me a minute to get into his head as a child. It was fun to explore!

Gen The Maruader's Map: Fred and George Weasley are in trouble again. Naturally, they end up in Filch's office and spy something they want to take. Or how Fred and George got the Marauder's Map. Bonus! How they chose who to give the map to. What I like about it: This was one of the first things I wrote and I think that it still holds up! It fills a space that could exist in canon and I just love the ending twist!

Dramione Journaling: She needed to be reminded of the best parts of humanity in the world. That the war was over. There were no more death eaters. What I like about it: This was one of the first things I wrote that I felt was chilling and actually had a bit of a creepy tinge to it.

Bridgerton

Polin Emergence: Colin is a serial killer; Penelope is a murder mystery writer. Polinween Prompt: Dark AU What I like about it: I felt like this was a story where I really built out both Penelope and Colin's characterization in a unique way. By making them both much darker than I usually do, I got to play with themes and plot lines more than I expected when I started.

Polin It's like a million little stars (spelling out your name): It was a given that Colin Bridgerton saved a dance for Penelope Featherington at every ball because his mother asked him to. Or did she? What I like about it: This was before I really fell down the rabbithole that was my Bridgerton obsession (truly a Polin obsession) and I thought it had a really sweet spot in what I assumed was fanon at the time, and was sorta a concept that was a mix of canon and fanon.

Polin I dream of ...: Colin pulled an object out of a box in his attic. He didn’t know what it was. His hand swiped across the top to remove the layer of dust currently on it. What happened next changed the course of his life forever. What I like about it: This was so much fun to write. I don't know what happened, but I just picked up my journal and started handwriting this. It felt very symetrical and complete when I was done. I loved it.

Percy Jackson

Percabeth the kinda love that you only find once in a lifetime (the kind that you don't put down): What do you mean they aren’t college kids living life? Or the Percabeth college hockey AU soft moment that no one asked for … What I like about it: This just feels very realistic to me. Like it's just a soft moment that feels a little like a warm hug between a couple that loves each other and truly enjoys the small moments together too.

Percabeth Wreck My Plans (That's My Man): Annabeth has a plan to get Luke out of Olympus, she doesn’t need the son of Neptune to show up and wreck her plans. What I like about it: Something about this just feels hijinky and ridiculous fun - like watching an episode of White Collar or the movie Ocean's Eight. I don't know if that's what it feels like to read it, but that's how it felt to write it.

The Vampire Diaries

Klaroline get it off my desk: Closing her eyes to center herself, Bonnie breathed deeply to get a sense of his aura. “Vampire,” she breathed out. “What are the odds that the brother is human?” Caroline joked. “Not good, but let me confirm.” Bonnie smiled. She switched the photo she was holding. What I like about it: This was a story where I just was 'yes and'ing the plot and the background. Caroline as a serial killer? Yes. Is magic still a thing? Yes. Do Caroline and Klaus banter? Yes. It was just a really fun one.

Wizards of Waverly Place

Alex/Harper Deep Library Cuts: If you asked Alex’s high school teachers, they’d be shocked to learn that she was regarded as an extremely detail-oriented and historically accurate author. (Or the one where Alex is an author and Harper is her librarian best friend) What I like about it: I saw a tumblr post about Agatha Christie and something about it flicked a switch in my brain. 1300+ words later I'm making myself cry because Harper is validating Alex and then giving them a happy ending.

This was so much fun! Thanks @jinrosemoon for the ask!

[thedrarrylibrarian]

Can I say that I'm SO excited for this rec? It's always so much fun to host a guest in the library, and I have loved reaching out and making new connections with people I hadn't talked with before, but it's EXTRA fun when the reccer is already a friend AND when she recs a brilliant fic that I hadn't previously read! I don't know what else to say about this lovely writer than she's a wonderful and positive addition to our fandom, and a dear friend of mine. Without further ado, here is @nv-md to share our April Happy Hour Rec!

On a normal day, my inbox is not usually a source of joy. Bills, ads, work, and more ads, means that I spend most of my time avoiding emails at all costs.

However, an email from AO3 brings me nothing but joy.

An email that one of my favorite authors has written another seven thousand words (that I get to savor for free in the middle of the produce section while ignoring the poor man behind me who just wants to buy squash)? 

Well, there’s no greater joy than that.

And I’ll be taking zero comments at this time about how much I rely on fanfic for serotonin.

So, onto the fic in question!

I cannot recommend InnerLilith’s work enough. Like honestly, all of her fics are bangers and you should feel free to stop looking at this post to go and read them all right this moment. But, if you want to stick around, I’d love to tell you about ‘I’m lying when I’m looking away’.

I'm lying when I'm looking away by InnerLilith (6,757 words, rated E)

Sometimes it takes a Purim party and a flapper dress for Harry to figure out what he likes. (Spoiler: He likes Malfoy.)

This fic features: Jewish holidays and traditions, Draco in a flapper dress, flustered Harry, hilarious banter, meaningful discussions about gender norms, the smuttiest smut that ever smutted, and a soft ending that melted my heart.

I fell into this story headfirst and it was nothing but delightful from start to finish.

Harry’s POV is perfect. He’s a goddamn mess, has no idea which way is up, and waxes poetic about Draco’s legs and skin and lips and collarbones, and generally makes a fool of himself in front of all of his friends. Classic Harry James Potter behavior that I will never get enough of.

“Then he was striding over, all that leg just exposed, so Harry could see the muscles shifting with each step, the ripple of satin over his hinging joints, the soft, dark promise of what hid underneath.”

Draco is cool and confident (omg the snark), his legs are long, his dress is short, and I love him as much as Harry does. Honestly, I think about Draco in a flapper dress at least once a day.

“Malfoy certainly seemed to think nothing of it, sauntering around like he was born in that flapper dress. And maybe that’s what the big deal was for Harry, actually—how Malfoy acted like it wasn’t a big deal at all, and how he was right.”

Everyone is at the Purim party, including our beloved Fred (who lives), and they all make cameos as they watch Harry drool over Draco. If I tried to include all my favorite parts, then I would just have to copy the entire fic into this rec, but just know, the gang’s all here and it’s wonderful and brilliant. Lilith nails each voice, their costumes are hysterical (I will never recover from Luna as a demiguise), and I wish I was cool enough to be invited to their party.

In between eating hamantaschen and celebrating with wine, Harry and Draco circle each other all night. They’re not enemies, but it’s clear they don’t quite know how to be friends either, and they’re so obviously into each other that you can’t help but root for them to figure it out. There’s just enough ‘will they or won’t they’ to keep you on the edge of your seat and to make the ending that much more satisfying. Then—

THE SMUT! 

That’s all I can say about that because you need to read it yourself—it is delicious—but here’s a little teaser.

“Harry tugged his clothes off frantically, and when Draco brought a hand to the straps of his dress, slanting his brow in a question, Harry said, leave it, leave it, and his voice sounded cracked and desperate.”

This fic has it all and you will not regret one moment spent in this world. I wish that we could gather around a table, drinking and eating and laughing and talking about this fic. Since we can’t do that, please read it and then come and yell at me about it. 

Happy reading and a big hug and kiss to the Librarian, your hard work does not go unnoticed and it is sososo appreciated!

Hugs and kisses back and thank you to @nv-md for joining us for Happy Hour! As always, if you enjoyed a fic, please leave a kudos or comment!

Lots of Love and Happy Friday!

[22degreehalo]

aaaaand FINALLY I've finished writing up my next few recs for the Summer @ficreadingchallenge :'DDD Most of these I read weeks ago when I was especially tired and just wanted to lie down and listen to some podfics, as you'll see below~ But I'm still going! I got sooo close to finishing a line this time (and I WOULD HAVE if I hadn't swapped around the squares for some of these hahaha) and if possible I want to complete a full blackout! n.n

A couple of prompt-related rambles: 'Enemies to Friends / Lovers' is highlighted buuut I actually later decided to use that fic for 'Future AU' so. Oh well :') I also swapped a fic from Domestic to Gift Giving even though gifts aren't the main focus because I was having trouble with that square and the gifts ARE still a pretty big part of the fic so??? who cares hahaha. Also somehow I've gotten this far using a different pairing for every single square and I was absolutely tempted to try to continue that, and am knocking myself out of it because I just want to encourage myself to read fic, not force myself into a pretzel trying to track down rarepair fics that SHOULD exist SOMEWHERE......

New recs below!! :D

Canon Compliant

after knowing all, I wonder, can you really say innocent? By Aialize (15.5k, ongoing, Milgram gen)

This is a super fascinating fic and a great example of one of my favourite genres: crack treated seriously! In this one, the music videos exist in-universe and the prisoners (plus Es) will watch them all, reacting and responding in-character. I love how committed the author is to this premise: some of the characters would rather forget all this stuff is even happening, while others (most notably Kotoko) fully intend to learn all they can about the other prisoners from them. It’s still early days, but I can’t wait to see how they all react differently, and what (correct or incorrect!) conclusions they come to! (Also, maybe it seems strange to use an AU fic for the tag ‘Canon Compliant’, but the fic is sticking to the canonically-chosen verdicts which is why it counts!)

Fic With No Comments Yet

messin’ up my mind by Skyrose – a podfic by CailynWrites (5k, 33:47, Percy/Oliver)

Choosing podfics for the ‘No Comments Yet’ category almost feels like cheating heh, but these very important fan works deserve just as much love!!! This is an adorable fic: stories where the characters’ friends/family ‘ship them’ can be corny and OOC, but I love that Fred and George initially just want to give Oliver something to care about other than Quidditch training, and have no clue the cogs they started working in Oliver’s head until they’re ready for that last push. And I love Oliver and Percy’s relationship: not quite close, comfortable friends, but more like very different people who’ve spent a lot of time together and never quite taken the plunge in becoming fixtures of one another’s life – yet. <3

Hurt/Comfort

The Care and Feeding of a Deeply Depressed Vampire [Podfic] by secretsofluftnarp, read by Pandamug (2.8k, 21:16, Nandor/Guillermo

Fics that perfectly capture the absurd black humour of this show are always a treat and this fic is no exception! One of the tags is ‘canon-typical sex talk’ and hoo BOY is that accurate haha, but beneath the characteristic horniness and always-at-least-mild insufferability, Nandor really is just a pathetic sad little vampire, and the degree of care Guillermo has for him – and how much Nandor trusts him in return – is so sweet!

BIPOC Character

[Podfic] The Benefits of Communication written by ushauz, voiced by GodOfLaundryBaskets (3.2k, 27:27, Wyll/Astarion)

I’m still dipping my toes into Wyll/Astarion fanfic, but this was a very nice introduction!! Despite focusing on Astarion’s trauma around sex, it also gets a bit into Wyll’s complicated relationship with it as well, in a way that totally makes sense for them! I can 100% see these two dumbasses having a miscommunication like this, doing something they both don’t like just because they think it’ll make the other happy :’D

Future AU

Recognition by SaraJaye (2k, N/Hilbert)

This is such a sweet fic, and I can totally imagine these two’s relationship going this way post-canon!! By the end of the game they’d both need some time before they’d really be ready to be in a relationship, and though short I totally love how the friendship builds enough here for them to do that! <3

Gift Giving

Tinsel by Lunar_Years (17.5k, Roy/Jamie/Keeley)

I absolutely love and 100% recommend this entire series of RJK fics – they capture the characters and their relationship absolutely perfectly, and the familial interactions ring so true! I particularly loved Roy’s complicated relationship to the holidays; feeling troubled by his own lack of enthusiasm towards what should be ‘his’ celebrations, and only realising in retrospect that he really had enjoyed his time taking part in it all with his partners. Despite being longer than all the other fics I’ve recced here so far, the time absolutely blazed by, because it all flowed so smoothly and once I started reading I didn’t want to stop! <3

Time Travel

Catalyst [podfic] by TheStarvingWriter, read by RavenGranger11 (2.5k, 19:53, Dean/Castiel)

This fic packs in so much for its length! It’s wonderfully atmospheric between the dingy motel room and young Dean’s insecurity and longing, and from the moment Cas steps in his fondness and familiarity for Dean shines right through <3

Time Loop

& home & home & home (or, a timeloop) by decemberista - a Podfic read by Beatificbean (3.1k/20:09, Remus/Sirius)

Ugh, this fic hits so hard. :( With its succinct writing we really get a sense of how hard Sirius tries, over and over, to save everyone. It’s almost like poetry – especially at the end, which really made me cry!! ;__;

[ro-botany]

I want to know who, if anyone, you ship Freddie with. I wanna hear all ur Frederick Fired Emblem opinions tbh--

HELLO I HAVE SO MANY OPINIONS ON THIS MAN

Probably too many opinions to fit in one ask!! To be honest!! I don't even really know why I imprinted on Fred so hard. It was the meme quote and the horse backflipping at first but at some point it became genuine fhdsjkfhds

Given that Fred strikes me as one of the older members of the cast his ship options were a bit limited for me lmao. But I ended up going with Fred/Cherche in my playthrough, and I stand by that! They don't have the most exciting support chain, I suppose, but there's so much mutual respect there. They meet each other on even footing in so many respects, and their S support feels like a very natural extension of the supports before it. Idk it's just cozy. They'll terrorize new recruits together forevermore.

Though I could easily leave him single, too. He strikes me as acespec, and while he can be a sap in S supports I also think he could be perfectly content never having a romantic partner. Maybe's that's me projecting but eh.

Some other opinions that I may elaborate on sometime include

I may not consider the spotpass chapters canon but I WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM HIS IN-BATTLE CONVERSATION WITH EMMERYN. I AM INCONSOLABLE...

I know we all joke about his out of left field arson streak but LISTEN. LISTEN TO ME. THAT CAN BE SO COMPELLING IF YOU TAKE IT SERIOUSLY FOR A SECOND. He may not necessarily have full blown pyromania, but if you humour that he might... Pyromania is an impulse control disorder. And often for someone with pyromania the starting of fires is a way to release tension or anxiety. Do you see how interesting this could be combined with how neurotically worried he is about the safety of his people, and how rigidly he controls himself, and how he keeps himself busy literally every single waking moment?

Between the potential pyromania (often caused by childhood abuse and neglect??? hello??) and the wolf attack trauma and the fact that he's now the razor-witted right hand of the goddamn prince, I'm super interested in this man's backstory. And the fact that 90% of the content we have about him is variations on being comedically overprotective of the royal siblings pains me sometimes. I love how ridiculous he is too, and I know flanderization is the curse all fire emblem side characters bear, but you can't just put these interesting breadcrumbs in front of me and expect me NOT to want to eat the loaf of bread they came from! I'm over here having to re-engineer this bread recipe my damn self! Give me the forbidden Fred lore intsys!

Frederick and Robin enemies to besties arc is criminally underutilized in fanfic and I need this problem resolved yesterday.

The fact that Frederick and Validar share their english voice actor is criminally underutilized in fanfic. We can use this as an excuse to make them sound similar in-universe! We can do angst with this, people!

The fact that his main hobbies are knitting and mushroom picking is adorable, actually. He's like if a grandma was capable of felling entire armies with a greataxe.

This is getting so long so I'm gonna stop there but listen. I will always answer questions about Frederick Fire Emblem. He is my boy and I love him.

[legitalicat]

20 Questions for Fic Writers.

Thank you to @foxyanon for both tagging me and giving me a clean copy of the questions so this did not have to wait until after work.

1. how many works do you have on AO3?

Just one, it's old and unimportant. I'm actually about to private it as I no longer like writing fanfic for real people.

2. what's your total AO3 word count?

Since I don't really post to AO3, I'm going to try to guess my word count from Word.

I would guess, just knowing the size of some of my larger works and how many things I fucking have in there, it would be at least 500k. Probably more. Y'all see the length of shit I post and I don't have nearly everything posted.

3. what fandoms do you write for?

Currently, HOTD, TLK, Assassin's Creed and Skyrim. Check out my requests to see which fandoms I'm willing to write for!

4. top five fics by kudos

So, my top 5 fics on here are probably

Sweet Sister (Aemond x Reader x Jace, canon)

Keeping Up With The Targaryens (SMAU Aegon x reader)

Player 3 Found (SMAU Jace x reader x Aemond, no targcest)

we can't be friends (Aemond, modern)

Forged From Death (Sihtric x reader, canon era)

This is a guess, but I know Sweet Sister and Keeping Up are my most popular ones.

5. do you respond to comments?

I try, unfortunately most of my time online is also while I'm working so things do slip by me. However I do try to stay on top of my asks and my inbox, so if you ever need to make sure I see something, those are the best ways. Unless you are in my discord server, then just message me on there.

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

It's no where close to the end, but just for what I have planned, I think my angstiest thing will be "Dragon of Valhalla".

For one shots, either "Too Sweet" (a personal favorite) or "we can't be friends"

7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

What I have planned for the future of Out of Time is probably the happiest. Mostly because that is my "fix it fic".

Although when I post Alisanne's fic, that will get happy ending. Also a fix it fic.

8. do you get hate on fics?

I've not received hate, thankfully, of any sort.

This is not an invitation to start my friends are crazy (lovingly) and they will ride in battle for me before I even notice it's happened.

9. do you write smut?

Yes! Maybe not well. But I do write it.

10. craziest crossover?

"Dragon of Valhalla". It's combining a fantasy show, a historical fiction drama show, and a historical fiction fantasy video game. Truly, the deepest of brainrots.

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

No. But again, not an invitation. See above.

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

Not to my knowledge! If anyone is interested, ever, please reach out so I can consider it!

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! Many times in fact. It was a lot easier as a high schooler who had no life otherwise.

14. all time favorite ship?

Fuck. Y'all asking the wrong person, I'm full of bi panic and my favorite ship changes A LOT because of it.

Some of my favorites though would be

Fred Weasley x Hermione Granger (back when I read HP fanfic and participated in the community)

Jess Mariano x Rory Gilmore

Robb Stark x Margaery Tyrell x Danerys Targaryen (crackship yes do I care no I love them and they should have met and dominated)

15. what's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

It's a private project that few people know about. I intend to finish all my things, but brain doing brain things is hard.

16. what are your writing strengths?

I think I can "emotion" really well. Make you understand it as a reader, make you feel it, without necessarily giving a name to it.

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

Smut.

18. thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I only speak English so you'll probably never catch me include it unless it's High Valyrian. I don't trust Google translate. HOWEVER, I do genuinely think it's a beautiful thing.

19. first fandom you wrote in?

Harry Potter 💀

20. favorite fic you've written?

Probably, legitimately, "Out of Time". It was my first genuine dance into HoTD fandom creating. It was my first idea in years.

I had originally written it as an Alisanne fanfiction, actually. But I didn't think anyone would read OC content and so I made it x reader, and lost passion for it in the process.

Idk who has done this, but here are some no pressure tags.

@zaldritzosrose @thenameswinterfics @lady-phasma @anjelicawrites @alexagirlie

F1 ASKS !

i should be sleeping but this was more fun, and couldn’t wait to answer it. thank you @arieslost for the tag! i’m not tagging anyone but if you see this and want to answer it you definitely should do it! <333

who is your favourite driver?

max verstappen, if you couldn’t tell. from the moment i knew of his existence until the day that i die. everything about him is just so interesting and amazing. he’s such a talented and nice and just awesome person! you may not like him and that it’s totally okay, everyone has their own preferences, but no one can’t deny how talented and dedicated he is.

do you have other favourite drivers?

oh yes, definitely! charles leclerc is at the top of my list along with max, obviously. and i also like lando, probably not gonna call him one of my fav drivers but i like him a lot.

who is your least favourite driver?

uh, carlos sainz. there’s just something about him that i don’t like and feel uncomfortable with. i’ve tried so! hard! to like him but i just can’t & it is very annoying for me. i won’t deny that he has done a pretty good job. but i’m gonna leave it at that.

do you pull for drivers or do you like teams as well?

mostly for drivers. for me it’s basically where max and charles wanna go, i’m going with them. but i’ve come to love ferrari because really who doesn’t love ferrari?

if you like teams, what team do you pull for?

just ferrari. because i’ve come to realize that i was cheering for red bull just because max is there, so that doesn’t count bc i would not care about them if it weren’t for him lol.

how long have you been into F1?

since sept/oct 2023. i watched the japan gp with a friend and then i slowly began getting into f1. but i think it was qatar that made me a fan. and when i start liking something i become obsessed, so, here i am!

what got you into F1?

it was thanks to my only and only @18ls because she literally texted me to watch the japan gp and i said yes and the boom! the rest is history. it was pretty cool because we’re basically glued together and we both became obsessed with f1. ari te amo eris la mejor de toda la vida. TE AMOOOOO.

do you enjoy fanfic/RPF?

oh yes, absolutely. girl, i’m here writing fanfiction and feeding into my delusions because it’s the only way i can be happy.

how do you view new fans?

i love new fans. i’m still pretty new to the world of formula one too and i love that more and more people are getting into this amazing sport. i also love that most of them are females! it is such a nice and awesome thing to see.

if you could take over as team principal for any team, who would it be and why?

i think if fred vasseur and i joined our brains we could make a good pair and bring ferrari back to life. or red bull because we don’t want that man there, we actually don’t want him on this planet but we can’t do much about it.

are your friends and family into F1 as well?

i have friends that are into f1 but not my family. my nephews like to ask me things about it but that’s as far as they go. but i’m pretty happy with my friends because we can be happy and upset together, & i don’t have to suffer alone.

are you open to talking to other fans/making friends?

yes, i love making new friends! even more so if we get to talk about our fav things and don’t feel judged at all because we are basically as unhinged as the other. so please feel free to pop in my inbox or ask box if you want to chat! <333
