lando norris x dcc!reader

summary: you are part of the dcc’s, who perform at the formula 1 austin grand prix, what a coincidence that your secret boyfriend is a racing driver competing in said event

a/n: I promised y’all this like two weeks ago i’m sorry it took so long🫠

masterlist

“Girls, you ready?”, your group leader called, receiving thumbs up from all of you.

You put on your nicest smile and followed the other girls out on track, immediately spotting Lando next to the other drivers. He sent you a cheeky wink when your eyes met as you were dancing towards your designated spot to start ‘Thunderstruck’.

Here was the thing, Lando had never watched you perform. Of course in the comfort of your living room, but that was something different, never when you were fully dressed in your uniform with your hair and make up done and next to the other girls.

And you truly hadn’t thought that I’d be so difficult to focus on your steps and not the way his eyes followed your every move, sometimes dipping down to your chest.

Once you were done with the kickline, a roaring applause sounded off the track.

You exchanged proud smiles with the other girls, catching your breath while waving with your poms.

Your eyes darted back to Lando, who had his arms crossed in front of his chest, making his biceps pop, and boyish smirk on his lips.

You thought back to the conversation Lando and you had last night.

“How about after the parade, I’ll just kiss you?”, Lando proposed, laying down behind you. You looked back at him to see a mischievous glint in his eye.

“Paul would probably remove your arms from your body faster than you can accelerate”, you giggled, thinking about your bodyguard who took all of the girls‘ safety extremely serious.

"Also true”, Lando chuckled, secretly loving how safe you were when you were with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

He pressed you closer to muffle his nose into your hair.

Still, your heart raced at the thought. Since meeting in Miami, coincidentally where he took his first race win, it had been an exciting, hidden part of your life. Both of our agreeing to keep it under wraps for a few months.

Now, almost five months later, you still haven’t told a lot of people. Only your families and Carlos knew, though you were almost sure Carlos was considered part of Lando‘s family as well.

You walked past the drivers and the second your eyes landed on Lando, a rush of adrenaline caused you to make an impulsive decision. “I’ll be back in a second”, you told Sophy before running over to your boyfriend, who was nudged by Carlos next to him. Lando’s head turned just when you came to a halt in front of him. “Good luck today!”, you spoke breathlessly and quickly stood on your tiptoes to lean forward to press a quick but lingering kiss to his lips.

Thanks to his ridiculously fast reflexes, Lando put one hand around your waist to pull you closer just when you wanted to pull back. The crowd erupted again, but for a different reason this time.

He smiled into the kiss before allowing you to retreat.

“Gee, thanks I feel honored”, he joked, making you roll your eyes. He chuckled, eyes sparkling. “You’re unbelievable, you know that?” You shrugged, biting back a smirk as you noticed the Dallas girls gaping from the sidelines. Your best friend jaw had practically hit the floor.

"Go, your girls are waiting on you”, he said and tapped your butt cheek twice, causing Paul to clear his throat next to the two of you.

Lando glanced over at your team’s bodyguard before pulling his hands back.

You tapped Paul’s arm to signal him, that it was okay and nodded over to the exit where the rest of the girls were standing.

“Next time give me a little warning, that would he nice”, Paul muttered as you walked back. “Sorry, that was pretty impulsive right there”, you chuckled.

“Okay, girl WHAT???”, Sophy called when you were in reach, grabbing your arm and shaking you.

With a smile, you glanced over your shoulder to where Lando was now the subject to subtle teasing from Carlos and shock from Oscar next to him. “We’ve been seeing each other. Met back in Miami, actually, it was right before I moved to Dallas to try out for DCC. My dad was invited to the race by Mclaren because of a sponsorship deal and took me with him“, you explain as you walked back to the paddock guest section.

"So he just asked for your number??“, Kleine butted in, buzzed with excitement. "Uhm, no actually. We met obviously at the race and it was his first ever win, so he went out to celebrate and uh-", you stopped for a second, thinking back to that rather wild night in Miami.

"Oh no girl!", Sophy could practically read your thoughts. You shoved your head into your poms as the other girls around you started realizing what your indication meant.

"So, anyway, I woke up with his phone number in my phone the next day"

and him naked next to you, but you left that part out.

"We‘ve been seeing each other since. Well, we mostly facetimed at the beginning, I told him I‘m moving to Dallas to try out for DCC. He immediately was incredibly supportive and uhm… actually spent his summer break in Dallas with me, so like basically all of August", you giggled.

"Wait!", Charly called, getting your attention. "Was he the guy in your car? Who picked you up from training?" You nodded with a slight smile. "Yeah, so you technically have met him before", you joked, causing the girls to laugh.

It sort of felt surreal to have that out in the open right now, and you were sure if you were to open any of your socials right now, they would explode with messages and new followers.

Back in the paddock, you changed into your navy blue training suits and watched the race with an intense focus, hands clasped as Lando carved his way through each lap.

He held steady, kept his line, and defended like he was born to win today. Watching him maneuver the car with the precision and confidence you’d seen a thousand times over on your home TV (or your phone, depending on where you were) was exhilarating and nerve-wracking all at once.

Finally, when he crossed the line in first, a flood of cheers echoed around you.

"Your man‘s great!", Kelli smiled next to you, causing a giggle to escape from your lips. "Thanks, Ma‘am!"

Lando had won. And this time, you were here to see it.

Beside you, Paul, the Cowboys’ assigned bodyguard, nudged you. “You’re clear to go to the podium,” he said, a faint smile under his otherwise serious expression.

With a breath of excitement, you nodded, feeling your pulse pick up as you followed Paul through the crowd, navigating your way to the podium. The fans cheered as you approached, and finally, you spotted Lando. He was celebrating with his team, arms thrown up in victory, a radiant smile on his face. When he saw you, he froze for a second before his face broke into a grin.

Ignoring the team and press around him, he ran over to you, grabbing you by your shoulders to pull you closer to him over the barrier.

He didn’t hesitate to press a kiss to your lips, wrapping you close despite the sea of cameras and fans catching every angle. "You did it, baby", you smiled, stroking over his sweaty cheek. "This one’s for you", he murmured, pulling back just enough to look into your eyes, still breathless from the race.

You smiled, hands still tangled around his neck, feeling the world fade away for a moment. "Congratulations, champ!"

Another smile spread across Lando’s face and he pulled you back in for a gentle kiss.

Nerdy Prudes Must Die: Girl has a sexual fantasy after a jock offers to carry her books. Like 8 people dead. Satan and his cool brothers want the Mayor’s daughter to kill her crush so they can kill jock (ft. Christian parents and a girl who wants telemarketers to talk to her)

CABARET @ PHOENIX THEATRE

first of all the set was BEAUTIFUL. there were a lot of cool shadows at work and it looked like a mix of the kit kat club stage and some nasty berlin backstreets with balconies, spiral staircases, tons of doors and cool metalwork. there was also a huge archway with a mural of a peacock behind it

I was in the front row :]]]

there was also a GIANT pole by one of the staircases that the kit kat dancers slid down like a fireman's pole occasionally

the emcee popped up from behind the bar as a sort of bait and switch, there was a spotlight on center stage suggesting that he'd enter from there but SURPRISE!!

LATINA SALLY!!!!!!

in wilkommen, the girls had unique outfits related to their names/nicknames/whatever, i.e. frenchie looked like a mime, texas looked like a cowgirl, helga had a babyish sort of lolita type dress, etc

hermann put the emcee in a headlock during the "there's nothing funny about hermann" line

ernst checked out the nazi officer's ass as he inspected the train car

fraulein schneider and herr schultz were so cute I almost cried

the don't tell mama costumes started out as big pink babydoll dresses but the girls stripped into lingerie near the end of the song

I ADORED sally. her actress had such a strong voice and stage presence and I could tell she put so much work into characterizing her

the girls used big suitcases as props for mein herr (which also gave off big chicago vibes)

one of the "two ladies" was just one of the kit kat boys in drag (unsure if this was a choice individual to the production or not, I haven't watched any boots in full)

fraulein schneider hit one of the sailors on the ass to get him to leave fraulein kost's room

again. fraulein schneider and herr schultz were so cute it was insane

in money, the ensemble dressed in gold and there was a giant coin as a centerpiece/prop, and the lighting was disney villain green. like money

the music COMPLETELY stopped when fraulein kost whispered "the jews" to ernst. my heart literally fucking stopped it was genuinely a frightening scene

most of the ensemble was visibly scared/uncomfortable during tomorrow belongs to me reprise but were slowly pushed into joining the song, and the lighting turned red and it looked like everyone was washed in blood

the kickline costumes were what could only be described as yassified third reich military uniforms

the emcee watched from the balcony during married reprise and dropped the brick from there and when he did the lighting COMPLETELY changed

at the end of if you could see her, a nazi chased the "ape girl" offstage and locked her in a cage

one of the cabaret boys was arrested by nazis during I don't care much

before cabaret, one of the nazis broke a bottle on cliff's head and the emcee swept up the glass while introducing sally for her final number

sally stumbled around the stage during cabaret as if she was drunk, the whole song gave off a more angry/spiteful vibe than any other version I've seen. she also hit herself in the head multiple times (on purpose) during the song

at the end of the song the lighting, very jarringly, switched to red, black, and white.. like a certain flag

cliff almost hit sally with a bottle when she admitted to having an abortion, but he stopped himself at the last second

they did the whole emcee dressed in a nazi uniform -> concentration camp prisoner uniform reveal thing, except they also added a red triangle instead of of just the yellow star and pink triangle that's typical to most productions that do the reveal

the peacock mural fell at the end, revealing a completely blank white wall behind it

during the finale it was like all the air had been crushed out of the room. I literally could not breathe

anyway. amazing production. I'll be thinking about it for literal weeks maybe even months because it was fucking terrifying and they did the whole "the nazis are slowly taking over and you won't even notice till it's too late" thing so well it was genuinely so scary

god that gave me a visceral memory of every single popular girl on the kickline team at school wearing this same exact pair of shoes

inevitable is stuck in my head...

emma, i'm sorry, you lost. emma, i'm sorry, you lost your way. well, what if i told you i made it?and this was the life that i chose. would you even believe it, emma? do you believe in ghosts? what if i told you a story, that settled all the dust? i'm still the man you trust. it's inevitable for us.

no, no! get away from me! you're not paul, you're one of them!

before i had no ambition, but now my life is a song. don't you want to see me happy? is that so tragically wrong? what if the only choice is, you had to sing to survive? we must go on with the show. it's inevitable—

to know what i want now! (know what you want now!) emma, i want you to join the party. aren't you going to tip me? (get your cup of coffee!) look at the fun we're having already! i found my calling, you can do the same now. put your words to lyrics and you're playing the game now. it's all there is and there ever was—

emma! let me puke in your mouth, em! just open your food bin, girl, and you can join the hive. then, show me your hands, show me those jazz hands. get 'em up, or your shit out of luck! show me your hands, show me those jazz hands, or i might be inclined—

to plant my seed! the hive needs to feed! happiness is guaranteed! if you just give us one last show stoppin' number! with emma front and center! a kickline is inevitable!

what if i told you a story? how the world became peaceful and just? it was inevitable! inevitable! inevitable!

the apotheosis is upon—

us! (aah!)

[auditionsuggestions]

Hey! One of my friends is looking to audition for Mean Girls, and he doesn’t know what to audition with. He doesn’t have any roles in mind, but he needs a 32-bar cut of a song and a monologue that would fit the show. He sings bass/baritone usually. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hi! He could look at "I'd Order Love" from First Date (From the kickline "big finish" section to the end). "Barry's Going to Prom" from The Prom (from right after the dance break to the end) or maybe "It Just Wasn't Meant to Happen" from Calvin Berger (also from the key change to the end).

This monologue could be a nice contrast to the two comedic songs. Or this one could work well with the ballad.

Break a leg to your friend!
