Lying Down on the Job - Part Two

I've been meaning to do a second part to this set for ages - the time has finally come.

[chamerionwrites]

I love that it’s Miranda who orchestrates Alfred Hamilton’s death. Partly because there’s something just so devastating to me about how lonely and constrained and helpless so much of her life on Nassau is - and thus something so grimly satisfying about her getting to exercise that kind of violent agency, even in flashbacks and exposition.

And also, because there’s a level on which it’s a little fucked up. Not that she wants that kind of revenge, not even that she gets it - but that she weaponizes Flint’s rage and grief and guilt, Flint himself, to do it. That she knows him and loves him and shares a terrible trauma with him, and that’s precisely what allows her to aim him like a homing missile at her husband’s (for all intents and purposes) murderer and pull the trigger. Fully sympathetic and understandable and I don’t think Flint was complaining one iota, but - still. There’s something magnificently brutal about it and I kind of love that for her.

lgbt hcs for dt's shakespeare roles

touchstone - genderfluid but he doesn't know what that is. doesn't particularly care abt the gender of the person he dates. though he has only been in relationships w women and also he cannot keep a relationship down for more than 2 months

antipholus of syracuse - cishet man. but this is incidental what really matters is that i think he is someone who was rejected by every girl he tried to confess his eternal and undying love towards

romeo - this is a he/him lesbian. just trust me on this one

berowne - the one disaster bi in a friend group of cishet men. someone please free him!

hamlet - trans man obviously bc this is hamlet. ace and bi as well but specifically in the sense that i feel like he hooked up with guildenstern one time and the sex was so terrible he spent a solid few years believing he was straight

benedick - the most he/they aroace bisexual you'll ever see in your life

richard ii - gay & nonbinary transfem. in fact so transfem that david tennant the actor started getting microaggressed by interviewers in real life

macbeth - nonbinary probably but he is currently plotting a whole bunch of murders and sinking himself further & further into the Blood so he doesn't have the time to think about that rn

i keep having this recurring thought abt th 2010s grid fuckfest thats like seb wld react to mark n jense the way straight men do to lesbians all "idgaf if theyre doing spygate 2.0 lemme see the sextape" but with mark n nando it would be blinding rage "why r they standing so close alonso is fucking our team secrets out of mark we cant let this stand hes mine by right i mean this is a matter of rb security separate them now"

As soon as I read your ask I thought about this clip from 2015 where Lee Mackenzie asks Sebastian if he considers Lewis and Nico's rivalry to be of equal intensity to the rivalry he had with Mark, and with nary a breath of hesitation Sebastian says no; he and Mark were thee rivalry.

Of course this interview takes place before The Incident that was the entirety of 2016, but I've always felt it revealed something crucial about Sebastian's psyche regarding his time with Mark as team mates. Sebastian won all four championships with Mark at his side, writing himself into the ledger with the blood and sweat and champagne spilt by his and Mark's relationship. Sebastian's career with Red Bull is inextricably shaped by Mark and therefore so are his achievements, which by association makes Mark his too.

All of this to say yes I agree wholeheartedly with everything you wrote in your ask. Mark and Jenson are Sebastian's two anglosphere boytoys that he indulges in from his cuck chaise lounge. Jenson isn't of any particular threat to Sebastian's title bids so his long standing friendship with Mark is just the narrative cherry on top of their sucking and fucking.

Fernando however is that persistent thorn in his side, the foremost challenger to Sebastian's wants: points, podiums, Mark. What are Fernando and Mark's many years of friendship to Sebastian and Mark's bond forged in the crucible of competition? What is Fernando's silver tongue promising greatness at Ferrari to Sebastian's hands showing Mark that he is needed at Red Bull? What is the easy softness of Fernando and Mark's bodies against each other to the vicious knowing of Sebastian and Mark's bodies skin against skin?

Sebastian has never let anything go without a fight, and he's not about to start with Mark.

As an aside, I've had an idea ticking around in the back of my mind for a while now about an AU where Mark leaves RedBull in 2011 to sign with Ferrari from 2012-2014, and crucially, goes on to win the wdc in 2014. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to dissect how Sebastian would handle losing Mark to his closest non-Red Bull rival, particularly at a time when their relationship has become professionally strained. Mark's Ferrari wdc however is the emotional lynch pin of this idea because Sebastian will never win one. When Mark retires from F1 at the end of 2014, it's Sebastian who fills his seat. Mark's team, Mark's telemetry, Mark's side of the garage - all his and yet not enough.
