#lando is a hedgehog agenda

[finifugue]

Points about The Charlando Fic which is (finally!!!!) in the works, listed in order of what was making me most feral:

Closest thing I will ever get to writing a romcom. Pure 2000s miscommunciation comedy 'everyone's so fucking stupid' realness.

Charles calls Lando 'Hérisson', which means Hedgehog in French. This is what all of this fic is about. The word doc is called 'lando is a hedgehog me n charles know it'

Lando and Charles grow up 'secret friends,' because Lando was already publicly friends with Max when they met

Speaking of Max. He is there. Haunting the narrative in the way he does. Lestappen also haunts the narrative but kind of more in a 'Lando vs. being in love with the guy who your entire fanbase ships with your best friend' way

Lando is chronically online in that he is well aware of the fandom side of F1 and knows all the pairings. This proves certifiably Not Good for him because he keeps basing his understandings of the other drivers on what fans see, i.e. he doesn't realise that Charles likes him back bc he's too busy hateshipping him and max lmao

Oscar, meanwhile, is convinced through some accidental drunken confessions which he misinterprets that Lando is in love with Max. Tries to set them up. Does not realise he's got the wrong guy.

Charles gets the brunt of the hurt/comfort on that because the second he realises he's in love with Lando, he decides that as a result of Oscar's behaviour, clearly Lando is in love with Max.

Max is, while all of this is going down, happily in a relationship with a pregnant Kelly, and entirely oblivious to the entire situation.

I cannot emphasise enough how oblivious Max is. Charles and Lando are in a ten-year-long painful yearning angry mutual-dumbassery situationship because of him and Oscar is committing war crimes trying to make Lando admit he's in love with the complete wrong dude and George, Alex and Pierre are watching the whole thing happen with copies of 10 Things I Hate About You for when their respective lovesick fool needs it and he's just like. "I love my friends (: I will invite them to the baby shower."

Speaking of. Charles and Lando are both obsessed with 10 Things I Hate About You. They watch it after every time they have a stupid fight because they can't bring themselves to admit they have feelings for each other. Nobody but George sees the irony in this.

Send me some asks if yall have any Qs! I'm excited abt this fic so i'd love to yap about it some more (:

On Lacking the Universe's Permission

Pairing: Lando Norris/Charles Leclerc Rating: T Warnings: None Short Summary: Charles throws his phone at a wall, Lando creates a careful truce with Leo Leclerc, they buy a house in the Italian countryside, and they fall off the face of the earth. Not necessarily in that order.

CHARLANDO FIC !!!!!

A love letter to everyone who looks thru the charlando tag and sees fic after fic after fic of hatesex unreliable narrator rancid vibe fics. We all love hatesex unreliable narrator rancid vibe fics of course but sometimes you need to watch blorbos from your cars buy a house together and be soft.

Inspired by the lando is a hedgehog agenda and also the idea of going home to a place you've never been before
