patrochilles / F1 iliad AU / ~12k words

inspired by @wolfythewitch’s gorgeous F1 art

After Achilles unexpectedly storms off the track during the last race of the World Championship, Patroclus is tasked by members of his own team and beyond to bring him back to the race as the threat of a Trojan victory looms.

.

“You really think I could get Achilles back on the track with all of you disrespecting him like this?” Patroclus almost laughs but it gets stuck in his throat. “And anyway, I shouldn’t even be here talking to you. I should be cheering on my own team instead of listening to you shit on yours.”

“Patroclus, we are all on the same team under Agamemnon. And we are about to get fucked if we lose Helen’s sponsorship to the Trojans. I’m telling you, you might not even have a contract next year.”

Patroclus’s incredulous laugh is a choked sound that bursts past his lips. He looks at Odysseus, the permanent lines across his brow, the silver hair catching the sunlight pouring in from the open bay doors, and tries to find some of the good humor that’s usually there. It’s not here today. All he can see is worry and a hint of fear. It slides across the space between them, burrowing itself into Patroclus’s chest, as cool as the wine from earlier.

“There are two races left,” Odysseus says, his voice barely above a whisper, snatched out of his mouth and weaving in and out and around the crowd that presses in waves of Ferrari red and Mercedes black and Red Bull blue. “Achilles needs to be there for at least one, otherwise we’re cooked.”

mona lisa's smile | 1418

pairing: fernando/lance

rating: teen and up

word count: ~7000

tags: pre-relationship, 2021 season, non-driver lance au

summary:

Two-time world champion. Robbed from his third. A villain’s making—a slow descent from glory, trajectory fixed on an unfulfilling end. Back from his sabbatical. Fernando Alonso.

director's cut:

don't let my ramblings influence ur interpretation of the fic!

these are my notes/reflection on the fic. they don't have to be urs. different minds can come to different conclusions that are equally fantastic!

mona lisa's smile is supposed to disappear when u view her directly, but out of ur peripheral, she is always smiling mysteriously (eerily). i thought it was fitting given the characterisation of lance and the facade he kinda keeps up in the fic

my obvious issue is that since it is an incomplete fic, the focus on lance and esteban's friendship overshadowed his developing one with fernando

i thought the risotto scene was corny, i'm glad people liked it

yes, it's written so that u can't really tell if someone's talking about something or somehow implying it or thinking it

i'm impartial to when people portray lance as having daddy issues and lawrence being a bad father. obviously i don't know jackshit about lance's relationship with his dad, but i wanted to depict it in a positive light this time around

whether or not scotty was going behind chloe's back with daniel is up to u. i couldn't decide whether he would or wouldn't so i left it vague

i don't know shit about ice hockey. i had to google who the canadiens were. they're not mentioned more because i couldn't be stuffed doing more research

i back read way too many articles about lawrence buying racing point, because i thought the dts portrayal was a bit inaccurate

lance and esteban do speak french when they're together so i'm glad i at least got that part of their characterisation correct

i actually started taking duolingo lessons for french because of this fic

the style is choppy on purpose because i hate grammar and tense

the line of 'offers security physically in the only way he knows how' is not implying that lance fucks este. i think lance often grabbing parts of himself to kinda subconsciously reassure himself, i tried to transfer that vibe into his friendship with esteban

to be clear, fernando does not give a shit about lance really until he meets him again when lance is like 20/21

the part that goes 'lance had watched from the grandstands that day. the crowd roared. he hadn't thought much of it' was actually regarding fernando's abu dhabi retirement donuts, and not him winning in spain in 2013

if misappropriating classical writing in my trashy fics was a crime, i would be on death row

at this point, it is not clear whether fernando is approaching lance as part of his El Plan or if he's genuinely interested in him

re: esteban and pierre possibly both being in renault. hindsight is a beautiful thing

fernando's "we are like lions. podiums soon" is another reference to the iliad. i wasn't sure if the implication was strong enough

i was originally going to scrap the 'must've misheard italian for indian' line because i wasn't sure if it would offend people

in the risotto scene, sebastian is actually oblivious as to what's happening. he's not pretending to be. he is fully unaware

my most despised line in this fic is: a son of a billionaire he may be, but a waster of food he is not. i think it's too cheesy and doesn't fit with the style of the fic. looking back now, i'm not sure why i kept it

i think the 'lance's lack of passion' character choice stems a lot from how f1 fans think lance is somehow detached from the sport and doesn't really care for it as much as, let's say, fernando or max, who are always very clearly enthusiastic about racing. it's probably also got something to do with lance's 'monotonous voice' that people like to complain about. it's ok, though, because lance is plenty expressive in his face and body language

fernando's post-race interview after his bahrain dnf is an amalgamation of some of the actual post-race interviews he's given

my favourite line in this fic is: Un jour, vous en ferez l'expérience. Cela fait battre votre cœur pour la première fois et votre cœur ne cessera de battre après. too bad it had to be in french

the ass-tap was inspired by the video of fernando congratulating lance after lance got p3 in the wet qualifying for brazil 2023 (i believe, need to double check on that)

the aston engineer is 100% suspicious about lance and fernando

thanks for putting urself through all of that!

So I told my friend who's super into f1 about @wolfythewitch's iliad x f1 au...

amazing reaction

[aufgrundlagedeinerlikes]

just saw an Iliad x F1 au and was violently reminded of my hate for Odysseus

[wolfythewitch]

Look at them. Young and primed for tragedy

[wolfythewitch]

The idea of homer being an f1 commentator is so funny to me

[wolfythewitch]

I just gotta ask for the F1 Iliad would the F1 Odyssey be Odysseus just doing circles on the track for a decade or like what

He just never gets podium ever, even though he gets close sometimes. His engine will fail, his pit stops will take disastrously long, his team will have awful strategy, someone crashes into him, he'd get disqualified for some reason, etc

[wolfythewitch]

For the f1 au they should let me bring back the old Nürburgring track for no reason in particular

[wolfythewitch]

wolfy hi in your f1 au how does the whole odysseus and astyanax thing play out

I'm not killing him if that's the answer you're looking for hahaha

Probably nothing much tbh. Odysseus accidentally elbowed him in the face idk

[vorosbegy23]

How dare you write this to the internet, now my mind full of trojan war f1 au.

Anyway, Achilles would be the same as Verstappen bc both are fast and furious idk (also az some point I dislike both lol)

the gods would be the strategist or idk how to call those ppl who talking to the racers on phone.

And Hector and Patroclus would have an incident, which would lead to Achilles' rage. He purposedly would crash with Hector and would drag his car for 12 laps idk or seconds or meters idk (i'm suck at f1 stuff, I jsut like to watch)

And the trojan horse is the safety car lmao

Also Odysseus would have a conrtact, which ends when he wins the race, but something always happens, so he never ever wins. So he totally misses his wife and son. (He could see them, they're always there to cheer for hím and everything, but he doesn't have much time for them bc training and racing)

my brother, very into f1 and desperate: please make an iliad f1 au

me: huh

[wolfythewitch]

got reminded about my iliad f1 au and now i'm looking up how many team strategists a team has

[wolfythewitch]

Hi Wolfy! I was an absolute sucker for the F1 Iliad AU, will it ever make a comeback or is it a project that you gave up on?

Also, love your art and your ted talks and basically everything you do!!

Haha it's one of those things I like the concept of and am attached to but don't really feel the need to draw I guess? It might come back if I get the urge to doodle something but yeaah
