Curious Time - Lando Norris

Lando Norris x Singer!reader

Multiple part series where their friendship was easy, their feelings were confusing and the distance was the hardest <3

(Third person perspective)

!!explicit content warning: 18+!!

PART 5 -

CONVINCED ME

“You convinced me that I can't know if I never try. Love me like you do, you make me feel so new.”

Lando knew she wasn't for him. He was sick of being alone, almost the entire paddock had girlfriends, people who didn't doubt their relationship, someone who'd fight for him like he would do for her.

Lacy was passing time and that time had passed. After the call with Pippa he was inconsolable, no tears left his eyes, that wasn't how he dealt with things. But he was almost mute, only answering yes or no to any questions asked. He left Saskia in his bed no goodbye or anything and got on his flight to Singapore. Arguably the hardest race of the season, the weather was draining when you were out of the car, the sickness he felt within the car was unmatched. Until now. This loneliness looming over him couldn't be topped he felt.

Press day looming, he wasn't in any state to speak to anyone, act with his teammate or interact with fans. He wanted none of it. He wanted to do the race. Then fly to y/n. His flight was booked, no one knew he couldn't risk them telling her and her running away or attempting to convince her otherwise. He needed her in anyway, he just needed her.

She was aware of how he was feeling, she over heard max and him on the phone when she was visiting P. She couldn't pull herself away from the conversation. She ruined her chance with him and now she's destroyed his relationship with Lacy. She felt awful.

She planned before the album dropped to have a break from social appearances and interviews as once November 4th hit they'd be non stop. But her time was consumed with worry, about her future, about his, about everything. Her needed rest was anything but that.

She kept updated with Lando at the Singapore Grand Prix with his performance last year ending up second, all eyes were on McLaren.

Qualifying was here, Lando was in the zone flying in Q1 and Q2. She hoped he was channeling everything to keep him going. Q3 wasn't awful ending up 6th place, not the best place to start on the street circuit but similarly not the worst.

One thing she loved about Lando was his ability to let go as soon as his helmet was on, she's glad that was a trait he could still channel following the recent turmoil she'd caused for him.

She believed she'd blown all chance. Contact was less the minimum, his name didn't even grace her instagram likes anymore. Total radio silence. And she was struggling, the girls would take her out, introduce her to their friends. But the same rule applied, they weren't him. And although she couldn't have him, she certainly didn't want anyone else.

P2! Again Lando finished P2 in the race of his life it looked like. She cheered, reaching for her phone, only to put it down right away. It's not your place anymore she told herself.

Lando was ecstatic, the first positive emotion he'd felt in weeks. Although he wanted to celebrate with the team, he wanted to get to her more. Rushing out of the paddock jumping in his car, not before throwing his hat to a group of young boys waiting for him, watching them fight over it in his rear view as he drove away.

He rested for a few hours once he got to London, hoping no pictures of him had reached her timeline. A few hours of sleep he caught up on, before heading to her. He prayed she was in, it'd be just his luck if she wasn't.

It was 8pm, she's ready for an early night. Make up removed, hair falling slightly messily over her shoulders and matching pyjamas set covering her figure.

Making a cup of tea before bed, she pottered in the kitchen waiting for the kettle to boiled when a knock made her jump out of her skin as it echoed through her apartment.

The face appearing before her was the last person on earth she expected.

"Lando? What? Um, hi. What?" So startled sentence ran through her head but failed to reach her lips. She stepped aside for him to come in not saying anything else.

He looked tired but gorgeous as always, he too didn't say a word he just looked at her. She couldn't read his expression, maybe due to it being so long since she's seen him or because he wasn't sure what he was feeling himself.

!!!

He finally spoke, "don't say a word." He demanded, grabbing both sides of her face and pushing his body against hers so her back hit the door behind her. He kissed her softly but only for a second before it intensified. She was lost in the moment, her hands lifting up to get lost in his curls, pulling on them as he leaves her lips abandoned before he continues kissing and biting down her neck to her collarbones.

Her mind catches up with her, her voice small and out of breath from the kiss, "Lando. Lando! Wait." He stopped immediately, worried he'd taken it too far.

"Are you sure you want this? Are you just going to leave me tomorrow? You have every right to be angry but I don't want either if us to regret this." She's right, it'll be their first time sleeping together, hell that was their first time kissing each other more than just a peck.

He knew he wouldn't regret it, he was still upset. But he wouldn't regret it, he's wanted this for the last 2 years, he's needed this for the past 6 months.

"Y/n/n, it feels right doesnt it? Don't worry about tomorrow, do you want this now?" God she does her legs are already weak from the kiss, doing there best to relive some tension rubbing together.

No words necessary she attached her lips back to his all the confirmation he needed.

His hands slipped below her bare legs hoisting her up, she instinctively wrap your legs around his waist, moaning softly into his mouth as she feels him, hard, rubbing against her. He wanders straight into her bedroom, she praises herself for doing some decluttering earlier that day.

He rests her down on the bed, taking her in hair splayed out, "candles, huh? Were you expecting me?" He jokes. Humour right now is not appreciated by her as she leans up grabbing his hoodie pulling him on top of her.

He rest between her legs once more, arms beside her holding his weight above her. He pulls back from her kisses once more to which she groans in frustration.

"I don't think you're in the position to be demanding anything from me baby."

Baby

She's desperate for him and he's taking his sweet time. "Lando please." She whimpers trying to pull him down again, missing his lips against hers.

"Fuck say it again baby. Beg for me. Show me that you deserve it."

"Please. Please. I'll be good. Touch me, kiss me anything. Please"

He dives back down lips attacking her neck straight away, kissing, biting, marks being made down to her collarbones.

"Can I take this off?" He slides the strap off of her shoulder signalling he wants her naked infront of him.

She nods staring at him almost bewildered, she can't believe this is happening. She's hidden her feeling for so long and here he is undressing her after she believed she wouldn't see him again.

He pulls off her top shorts leaving her completely vulnerable in front of him. Her nipples hard point at him, he's staring think, God she's beautiful. Not a single imperfection in his eyes. Her skin smooth to the touch, freckles delicately scattered over her body, her lips puffy, cheek flushed and marks from him littering her neck.

She notices him analysing her and instinctively goes to attempting to cover her bare body before him. Her arms wrap themselves around her chest, wondering if he likes what he sees or if he's changed his mind.

He grabs her wrists, holding them about her head with one of his large hands. "Don't." He says.

"Please don't hide yourself from me. You're perfect. You're mine and you're perfect." He kisses her once more wrists still pinned, she tries to fight it desperately wanting to touch him, get him out of his clothes and inside her. The more she resists the more he tightens.

"Lando. Do something please I'm begging you." She's throbbing at this point begging for his touch, desperate for it.

"Whatever you want, baby."

He removes his hoodie, she gapes at his body one she'd seen hundreds of times before but never it hovering over her, fuck.

He kisses from her neck down her chest, flicking her nipples with his tongue earning another moan from her. Taking them in her mouth biting and sucking gently as his hand travels down her stomach and between her legs. He'd never felt someone this desperate for him before. His slender fingers toy with her clit as her back arches from the contact, he inserts one finger, followed by another, his thumb now concentrating on her clit. She's moaning and writing at his touch.

He shuffles down her bed lips now attaching her clit, tongue swirling in circles whilst his fingers dance inside her.

"Lando. I'm so- don't- don't stop." Her body quivering beneath him his unoccupied arm laying across or stomach now to try and limit some movement.

Her body shakes as she reaches her highs, chanting his name louder and louder.

"Fuck." She exclaims.

"We're not done yet baby. You going to let me take care of you again?" His fingers finding the drawstring of his joggers pulling them off completely.

"Let me do something for you Lan, please" she looks at him through hooded eyes, looking exhausted already.

"No baby it's all about you right now." He removes the cloth of his boxers, setting her knees up beside him as she lays on her back.

"You ready baby? Can you take it?"

"I need it. Please I need to feel you." She cries out, he taps his tip on her now extremely sensitive clit before allowing himself to sink into her.

"Fuck" he whispers, she's gripped around him in a perfect fit. She was perfect for him.

Thrusting deeper and deeper, as she chants his name gripping onto any part she can. His arms are tattooed with the marks of her nails raking down them as she reaches her second high of the night, it hitting her hard.

Lando slows the rhythm as she begs him to be gentle clearing becoming overwhelmed and overstimulated. "You going to let me cum inside you baby? Can I fill you up?"

"Daddy please. Please"

Daddy. That finished it for him, hoping he could go a bit longer but once that word left her lips he was done for. He swears that's the most intense it's felt.

He gently removes himself from her, entering her en suite, grabbing the first towel he sees. Re entering her room she's propped herself up on her elbows, looking for him as if he's disappeared, slightly delirious. He wipes off what's leaked from her. Urging her to move up under the covers.

"Thank you for coming Lan." She sighs, wrapped in his arms, she's deeply missed being his little spoon. "I don't know what changed your mind. But thank you for being here."

"I'm glad I'm here but I don't want to talk about that right now. Just want to enjoy you and that great sex we had." He smirks into her shoulder, avoiding the dressing topic they'd both have to face at some point.

"Hmm I'd give it a 3/10." She mocks, knowing that's a complete lie.

"That's why you were screaming daddy at me right, baby? Where did that come from?" His smile getting wider and cockier at the minute.

"Please don't. It's your fault anyway.”

If that's his fault, he'd love to be to blame all day everyday. She's finally back in his arms and for now he's enjoying this ignorant bliss.

D' Pope, K. Barth, & an Ojibwa Chieftain

Pope Francis was on top of the headlines the past days due to this controversial remark he made in his visit to Singapore.

Social media erupted with a loud chorus of 'heresy!' especially from the more conservative wing of Christianity as an expression of their deep cause of concern (or disagreement) with the Pope's perspective. In fairness, the pope didn't specify whether the paths he has in mind are humanity's best attempts to make sense of God or was it paths that are of divine origin (the technical term in theology is God's own self-revelation). That is a critical point to consider in the debate about exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism.

A more interesting possible response to what the Pope said can be found in this anecdote:

Karl Barth was lecturing to a group of students at Princeton. One student asked the German theologian "Sir, don’t you think that God has revealed himself in other religions and not only in Christianity?" Barth’s answer stunned the crowd. With a modest thunder he answered, "No, God has not revealed himself in any religion, including Christianity. He has revealed himself in His Son."

Yes, Jesus is God's most vivid expression of who He is and what He is like as per the testimony of the Christian Scriptures:

“Jesus is the image of the invisible God...” -Colossians 1:15 (NCV)

“The Son reflects the glory of God and shows exactly what God is like.” -Hebrews 1:3 (NCV)

Still yet, one has to ask the ways Jesus has manifested himself and continues to do so in other peopleS, other places, and peculiar points of contact? Consider for example the numerous stories of supernatural encounters with Jesus which serves as the bedrock of why Iran today has one of the fastest growing number of Christians despite a strict ban to proliferation and display of the Bible.

Pushing the envelope further, what is more interesting for me is how Barth's pointed remark can be taken even further in the realm of decolonial theologizing. Consider for example another story, one retold by Randy Woodley, an indigenous Cherokee theologian, about a conversation he had with much respected elder from the Ojibwa tribe:

“You know, my uncle told me to 'never disrespect Jesus, because Jesus is a great spirit and I talk to him.' And he would go on and he’d tell us more and more, and then he would say this thing about his uncle again... We sat there for maybe two hours, and at least six or seven times he said this thing about his uncle and respecting Jesus. Then at one point he said, “My uncle trained most of the spiritual leaders around this area. He lived to be over a hundred years old, and my uncle would tell me all these stories about Jesus. So I asked my uncle one time, I said, ‘Uncle, how do you know all this about Jesus? Did you go to residential school?’ He said, ‘Oh no! No! I never did that.’ Then I asked him, ‘Did the priest teach you?’ And he says, ‘No, I have never been to church.’ Then I said, ‘But you tell me all the stuff about Jesus. Have you been reading the Bible?’ My uncle said, ‘No, just remember what I told you in the past: don’t disrespect Jesus ’cause he’s a great spirit, and I talk to him.’ I said to my uncle, ‘Well yeah, you talk to him, but how do you know all these things he’s done?’ You know my uncle looked at me so quizzically, and then he said, ‘Well, when I talk to him, of course he talks back.’ And then the elder said, ‘I’m going to pray for you now,’ and then our time was over.” ...If you understood the story I just told about the visit with this elder, you understand my message, because it holds the core of it."*

What is clear here is that those who have no idea about how these points of 'contact' can transpire are better off taking a listening and learning posture rather than a judging and dismissive stance.

-Rants by Rei Lemuel Crizaldo (September 16, 2024)

*Note: quoted from R. Woodley, Indigenous Theology and the Western Worldview (Baker, 2022)

Random question and I might be mixing you up with someone else, but you did a lot of traveling around Asia recently right? What were your favorite places? Do you have any recommendations? Have a great day!

hi anon! sorry, i unintentionally sat on this for weeks. you're correct, it was me! i spent a year traveling around. more under the cut >

I visited Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, the Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, & Japan. It was wonderful. Most places we spent about a month, some we spent more like a week (Singapore, HK) and some we spent about 2 months (Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan).

It's so hard to pick favorites! Some of mine were:

Traveling around Java, the largest island in Indonesia, was a cool experience. This was last July, pretty soon after they opened post-covid, so there were not many Western tourists around, and it's interesting as a white person to be a very visible minority for once. Some of the highlights were Borobudur and Prambanan temples, which were incredible, and releasing baby turtles on a beach at a turtle sanctuary (which I'm now kind of skeptical about because I think it should have been at a different time of day for maximum turtle safety, but idk, too late now).

I also really loved Borneo. We spent most of our time on the Malaysian side, where we went scuba diving at Sipadan (amazing) and then stayed at the Kinabatangan River for a few days where we got to go wildlife spotting along the river and saw wild orangutans, which are super rare!!

Cambodia is a special place. Angkor Wat really lives up to the hype, visiting the different temple complexes in Siem Reap was one of my favorite things we did on the whole trip. It was also very heartbreaking and moving to visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh and to hear from some of the guides we had about how their own families were impacted by the genocide, or how they themselves were impacted by some of the unexploded cluster bombs dropped by the US. It's humbling, how kindly Americans are treated in ALL of these countries that have suffered greatly as a result of our government's actions.

Luang Prabang in Laos is absolutely gorgeous. Best sunsets I've ever seen in my life. It's touristy, but a nice, relaxed kind of touristy. After that we went to see the Plain of Jars out in Phonsavan, and then went up into the mountains for an overnight wildlife spotting trip, and that was our most off-the-beaten-path part of the trip for sure. Cramming with 30 people into a 12-person van for 8 hours on windy unpaved roads while the lady next to you pukes into a plastic bag then throws it out the window...turns out there are still Experiences to be had in the world, lol.

The Philippines had IMO the most beautiful beaches, and the best scuba diving. Oh my god the diving!!! We saw thresher sharks, they are so fucking cool. I want to go back.

Hong Kong was my favorite big city we visited. The Mid-Levels escalators are so fun.

JAPAN. Holy shit. Everywhere we went was beautiful, everything we ate was beautiful, everything there is just beautiful? Some of my favorite food, too. Lodging is expensive-ish, but everything else really isn't. I don't think I'd want to live there but as a visitor, just incredible.

People were so, so, so nice, everywhere we went.

I could go on and on. If you're looking for specific advice on anything, feel free to ask! I hope you're having a great day too <3

3. Do you believe in Soulmates?

Yes I do. Actually, it is part of my faith and religion to believe in not just soulmates, but destiny (or Divine Decree). Everything has been planned out by God. Ever wondered how you end up where you are now at? Ever wondered how everything worked out in the end? But maybe that’s just me haha.

Regarding soulmates, the name of your spouse has already been written too. Now it’s up to me to reach to her. I think some of yall already know who that is lol *wink wink*

4. Do you drink liquor?

When people refuse to put their bags down on the floor when they’re on the bus or train. As a result, they take up more space than they need to.

9. Where’s the next place on your travel bucket list and why?

Japan, because it’s cheaper than travelling to Switzerland haha. Also, I want to visit Mount Fuji one day and visit a Japanese Mosque and see how they are different than the ones in Singapore. I want to go with someone. It’s no fun to go alone

End of the year meme! Previous years include 2023 and 2022; other year in reviews for 2024 include Tumblr posts (mine), Tumblr posts (others), music, art, books, fic, and memes.

1. Song of the year?

I. Somehow managed to hyperfixate on Long Face. I haven't even seen the show yet. Runners-up to Rhythm of Life, You've Got The Love, RATATATA, Too Sweet, and a last-minute addition with YM32.

2. Album of the year?

GY!BE released a new album under my nose!

3. Favourite musical artist / group you started listening to this year?

Like, consistently? None come to mind, alas.

4. Movie of the year?

MONONOKE HOLY SHIT?? I saw the series fourteen years ago and suddenly here comes a movie and major lore drop???

5. TV show of the year?

Doctor Who had a really fun new season! Welcome aboard, Fifteen! Also, as always, Gardening Australia my (dorky, dirt-smeared) beloved.

6. Episode of TV or webisode that defined the year for you?

None actually stand out individually.

7. Favourite actor of the year?

Can I name the entire cast of BG3? Okay, just Neil Newbon, then. Ncuti Gatwa is also extremely high up there.

8. Game of the year?

Yeah it's still BG3, haha.

9. Best month for you this year?

October, I think! PAX was the goddamn best <3

10. Something that made you cry this year?

I'm a complete sook and cry at the drop of a hat, so let's say Karlach's post-Gortash scene. Twice.

11. Something you want to do again next year?

Go to PAX AUS! I had a goddamn blast and I think I'm going to be a regular :D

12. Talk about a new friend you made this year

You're all cool <3

13. How was your birthday this year?

Fab! The day itself was nice and chill, but two days later we went down to Sydney to see Jesus Christ Superstar at the Capitol, which was amazing!

14. Favourite book you read this year?

Toss-up between Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki and Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle.

15. What's a bad habit you picked up this year?

Don't think I picked up any in particular. I did manage to cut down on finger-chewing, though!

16. Post a picture from the beginning of the year

21st January, one last visit to the Powerhouse before they irreversibly fuck it up.

17. Post a picture from the end of the year

13th December, the giant old stringybark in the Huon Valley.

18. A memorable meal this year?

Down at PAX, went to a really cool restaurant called Big Esso, which had a lot of fantastic Indigenous foods!

19. What're you excited about for next year?

Got some really fun things to look forward to! Probably the biggest ones will be PAX in October, and then in late November-December, we're going to Singapore, then cruising back! I'll be in Darwin on my birthday :D

20. What's something you learned this year?

Lots of writing craft things, especially for game writing at PAX!

21. What's something new about your place of residence (room, home, or general location) now vs the start of the year?

We finished the bathroom renovation (much needed, it hadn't been touched since the house was built nearly 40 years ago and was starting to leak) and I moved back upstairs, and we rearranged the living room.

22. Favourite place you visited this year?

Two very very different locations - PAX in Melbourne (like, with PAX specifically being the place, not Melbourne), and the absolutely gorgeous Huon Pine Walk in Tasmania a couple weeks ago (see 17!). Beautiful place <3

23. If you could send a message to yourself back on the first day of the year, what would it be?

Safta will be able to meet nibling before she passes. She won't know a huge deal about what's going on, but she'll be able to meet her first great-grandchild nonetheless, and it'll be comforting.

24. Did you keep any New Year's Resolutions?

Didn't make any!

25. Did you create any characters (in games, art, or writing) this year? Describe one

Reworked Tae into a standalone character, does that count? I'm gonna count it.

Happy new year <3
