king of my heart | smau

pairings: lando norris x fem!reader | pato o'ward x fem!reader

summary: y/n is an F1 content creator loved among the grid and the fans, and more than one person ships her with lando due to how close they've always been. but when y/n goes to her first IndyCar race, the last thing she expects is being involved in rumours with another mclaren driver.

warnings: love triangle? kinda.

author's note: i might turn this into a mini series but i'll see how it goes. btw english it's not my first language so if there's any grammatical error please let me know so i can fix it, ty🧡 now enjoy!

sooo.... y'all want part 2?

[nurse-floyd]

Hi can u write a f!Reader x lando where the reader is anaemic has vry low iron? Like where he helps her when she’s feeling sick and takes care of her. Thought this would be fitting as ur a nurse!! A comfort/fluff/hurt fic super excited for ur upcoming works.

I am SO sorry this is so late! My mental health has been awful as late and chronic fatigue has been kicking my butt! I hope you enjoy this little ficlet <3

You sat on one of the chairs in the McLaren garage, watching the screens with your bright orange headphones during the last free practice. You were excited being there to support your boyfriend, Lando but you also wanted nothing more than to be curled up in the king size bed that waited for you back at your hotel.

Lando, hadn’t missed how pale you had looked that morning, how slugging your movements had been as you practically crawled out of the hotel bed to follow him and hang out at the paddock for the day.

“I think we should make another doctor's appointment for you with the next break coming up, what do you think?”

You had groaned in response. You hated doctors and needles but you knew he was right. You’d always suffered with low iron and the telltale symptoms were exactly the same as last time. Admittedly with all the travel you hadn’t been keeping up with the supplements the doctor had provided last time.

Lando tried to tell you that you didn’t need to come, that you could sleep in a little longer and follow him later for quali, but you argued. Lando knew better than to continue that argument when you were so adamant in your ways.

As soon as FP3 ended and Lando was out of his car, you were the first person he looked for. He could see the exhaustion on your face, how pale you looked and the way you leant against the wall as if you’d fall if it wasn’t there. He pushed his way to your side and held your elbows in support. “I suppose if I told you to go back to the hotel you wouldn’t, would you?”

You shook your head and immediately regretted it as a wave of dizziness washed over you.

“Come on, let’s get you sat down,” he said as he gently guided you towards the hospitality area.

He kept one hand around your back for support as he loaded up a plate full of snacks and grabbed a bottle of water for you. He led you towards his driver's room and settled you down on the sofa pulling off your shoes to make you comfortable. He turned the TV on, so you could still watch him in support and he’d have the peace of mind you were resting.

“Thank you, Lan,” you whispered. You hated being ill, hated looking so weak but you knew Lando didn’t see you any less for it and loved and cared for you anyway.

As soon as qualifying was over and he’d fulfilled his media duties, Lando took charge and wasn’t going to take no for an answer. He helped you to your feet, with a supportive hand around your back as he led you towards his car. He buckled you in, despite your protest that you could do it yourself as he leant in and placed a kiss to your cheek. “Let me look after you baby.”

The pair of you drove towards your home for the weekend. Lando ordered takeout for you both as you threw on your cozy LN4 hoodie and climbed under the covers. As you both tucked into your meals, you couldn’t help but be so grateful to have a boyfriend like Lando in your life.

dts s5 e6-8

e6: -having flashbacks of having to defend oscar to my mom for this why does the show try to lean into otmar's perspective so heavily GROSS -nah im full tinhatting i do not remember this whole bit where everyone hypes up oscar in interview before he has his lil chat with mark netflix u slimey lil bitches -oh if i was here when this news broke summer break 2022. i would've been inconsolable. i'm sure it was nuts, ballistic. maybe it was good i wasnt there. idk if i could've handled it akldkfjadslkfjasdkfj -lando saying "i already am (leading the team)" was not that rude it was just the TRUTH sorry -daniel speaking italian is so important actually -"ive been in this sport for 25 years i know what im doing" king that only makes the fumble THAT much more embarrassing COME ON -otmar talking abt how well oscar took all the shit we offered aren't we owed a contract? reminds me of timeshare schemes like actually just u paid for xyz if you dont have a contract in place he doesnt owe u anything maybe do contracts better next time :) -unfortunately zak brown is right!! its a pr disaster is the 5 million worth it!!! and they didnt even get the 5 mil!!! how do lose ur job speedrun masterclass here!! -i do wonder how much netflix inflated daniel's chances for the alpine seat, bc from what i've heard it wasnt really in the conversation. idk i wasnt there but it would make sense for netflix to lean heavily into this narrative -did not realize liam was sitting Right There when pierre was askin abt the gossip aldfjaslkfjaksjdf -the way how in season 1 its like NO DANIEL DON"T LEAVE RED BULL i feel the same way abt pierre going to alpine. like ofc it made perfect sense at the time and you cant fault him for it but like no babygirl its bouta implode PLEASE -rip all the tiktok edits that were muted in the umg purge that paired "good luck to oscar" with "if a man talks shit then i owe him nothing." thank u taylor couldn't have said it better myself -"do you regret anything that's happened?" "um. no :)" U TELL EM BABY

e7: -i'm sorry but geri seemingly getting boiling water from a tap to make tea is so fucking insane rich person cursed -was originally gonna include this funny shot of christian standing looking out a balcony like sharpay evans in high school musical in my s5 gifset but due to recent events i will not :) -i just think. that including this whole bit abt how much checo loves his family in the same episode as the monaco gp where he allegedly cheated on his wife was a CHOICE. interesting. -lewis's monaco 2022 outfit is one of his best outfits ever. its so iconic 2 me -HI ALEX -so many cinematic parallels to discuss. s1 max putting it in the wall in practice and ruining his race to prove he was faster than daniel. known parallels to brocedes ALLEGEDLY trying to sabotage eachother by crashing in that corner in monaco. hmm hmm hmm. much to think -im sorry the sainz collision is just so goofy. i remember watching the replay of this quali and being bamboozled. befuddled. deeply amused. what a stupid fucking sport -'for fucks sa-........okay this is typical monaco isnt it" MAX GETS IT -i honestly dont mind wet monaco races just bc by nature of the track its on average slower therefore less dangerous. i'll take a wet monaco over a wet spa any damn day -ferrari's double pit fuck up is PEAK embarassing ferrari strats. like to do a bad strat is one thing but to just mess up the strat ur trying to do. peak biblically cursed charles leclerc moment

e8: -god i wish i got more into yukierre. i see the appeal. unfortunately they just dont give me brain worms -many thoughts. um i think focusing on yuki's temper is just. unfair. like sure he should work on it but thats an issue with many young drivers its not a unique failure on his part -i have given thoughts on japan '22 before i'm not rly gonna rehash but i really wish the didn't gloss over it on dts. i think it was an important moment in the sport to have a big conversation abt rain safety. -oh this nyck supercut is gonna be painful knowing where it goes :/ -god remember when ppl thought nyck was gonna lead the team? leave yuki in the dust? even /i/ had him above yuki in my preseason predictions isnt that insane? -"im happy, i'll take that, that you'll miss me at least 2 or 3 minutes" god forgot the most romcom ass shit since sebchals we'll start by holding hands -nando n lance having this crazy crash and now a year later they're fucking on the reg. happy 4 them

[adrena-dine]

Hungarian GP 2021: a summary

we got (1) Lando and Yuki interaction and im thrilling to see more

Seb and Lewis saying "f*ck Hungarian government LGBTQ+ rights only" go off kings!!!!!!

Nicholas on a tank ??? what the hell

i can't help but laugh picturing seb going on amazon and typing "lgbt flag merch" and then just adding all the things he finds on his cart

fans literally mobbed drivers on their hotel parking, felt weird to see that much ppl

Seb was invited to a proposal and actually WENT and GAVE them a HANDWRITTEN letter with all his best wishes EXCUSE ME i am in LOVE with this man, definitely a character written by a woman im tellin ya

Redbull being ONE MORE TIME in a racist polemic, who's surprised tho

Old racist Helmut was back at it, with, this time, a wonderful exposé about how's Yuki not like other Japanese (don't ask me how other Japanese are supposed to be, i dont wanna throw up again)

and we also had Christian saying that last race, Max faced abuse such as Lewis. I think he's confused. Or dumb. Or a torry. Or delusionnal. Or all those things at the same time.

Mercedes accused them of wanting to ternish lewis' name, are they wrong ? not for me

Steiner saying that his drivers are crashing too much and our dear Jenson kindly reminded him that their car is R U B I S H

Mick's mechanic face after his crash, memeable/20 ?

Alpine being the cutest team and organising a toddler like bday party for Fernando, he looked so happy im crying

Seb taking confettis in press conference to throw them on Fernando, then popping the thing in the wrong direction which means on him, idk whether to laugh or cry

Esteban told children that santa isnt real sir please

Max and Lewis going out of the pits at the same time, and almost touching each other, netflix is already preparing their best slowmo

Lewis played mind games and got himself a pole, smells like drama

Pierre asking his team manager a freaking FERRARI for his good quali, you'd see that only in f1

Lewis' recipe to win: YMCA + crowd booing

Max went "you better stop” when asked about lewis and himself rivalry

was it a race start or a bowling game ????

anyway Valtteri and Lance yeeted Charles, Lando, Sergio and themselves

Christian is waiting for Bottas like 🙂🔪

George going ahead everyone just like that 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lewis on the grid like🧍

It was lights out and away we go but only for Sir Lewis Hamilton, is it nobility privilege ?

Pit lane was a mess

Things that are above imagination: mick and max fighting for a position

FERNANDO VS LEWIS, EVERYTHING COMES BACK TO WHERE IT COMES FROM big 2010s vibes i love the energy

anyway thanks fernando for doing the lord's work and being a legend, man of the day indeed

George was ready to sacrifice himself to make sure the team has the maximum points, what a lad

Carlos said a big no to Scuderia Ferrari about their hazardous strategy, continue like that hun you’re doing amazing

ESTEBAN OCON IS A GRAND PRIX WINNER 💙🤍❤️ (but doesn't know what he's supposed to do)

Why does his mechanic has a peppa pig plushy tho 😭

Pierre couldn't help but decided he had to leave his mark for Esteban's first win and got himself the fastest lap

BOTH WILLIAMS IN THE POINTS AAAAAAAAAAH

Seb p2 but FIA said "not on my watch" and got him disqualified

Both FIA and Aston Martin decided to go on a "who's the pettiest" game, the FIA is currently winning with their amazing decision to send the WHOLE DAMN CAR in FRANCE

Nando lifting 1m86 tall Esteban as he was his son, I’m in tears

Sewis right only ✋🏼😔

Daniel post race camera footage, i am not crying you are

Lando saying that it’s bottas’ fault and then Valtteri came for apologising, awkward

George's tears I- 🥲

Carlos' walking to the stewards as he was going to be beaten up, what the hell is happening there ?

anyway he had ANOTHER podium that he couldn't celebrate properly

Nico Rosberg spilled the tea and said that Horner refused Toto's apologies uuuuuuuuh ☕️☕️☕️☕️

Fernando held Lewis for Este, but also for Max ??????????

Honestly one of the best race, just iconic thing on iconic thing it was ✨wonderful✨
