“this is so stupid!”

your statement catching his attention, mick looked up from his phone as angie quickly ran over to you as you lightly threw your pen on the table. staring at the physics question again, you quickly picked your pen back up before furiously scribbling your answer to the question.

you were close to ripping your hair out at this point, trying to figure out where you had gone wrong as you repeated the question under your breath, justifying each step of your answer.

and though your oblivion to the state you were slowly spiralling into, mick had recognised it all too well as your current position only confirmed the suspicion he had for the past 2 days or so.

“you should take a break, liebling,” mick spoke, petting angie as the dog came back to him as he sat on the edge of your shared bed. “come on!”

“mick, i can’t,” you sighed, not looking up from your notebook as you furiously scribbled on your notebook, putting your pen down so you could turn to look at him. “i’ve got so much to do and there’s so little time! there’s just too much going on…”

“what do you have to do? i can try to help…”

“past papers, some revision and more studying, i’ve finished my homework but i have loads of studying to do for finals that are in like two weeks,” you let out a sigh as you flipped through the papers scattered on your desk. “then i have to go to the gym and i’ve got training, my tennis match is coming up.”

“slow down,” mick chuckled, “you’ve done enough studying, more than enough throughout the past month or so. you’ll be fine, you don’t have to keep pushing this much.”

“but my grade mick! my grade!” you stressed, desperation evident as you spoke, “it has to be good! it’s either great or nothing. and i still have more to do, i still haven’t brought angie out on a walk and i have to run errands and get some stuff.”

you were spiralling, it was obvious. and with so much on your plate, mick couldn’t blame you for it. though he understood your worries and ambition, he still couldn’t help but want you to slow down and take a break. maybe it was out a selfishness, having wanting to spend a day with you ever since he came back to switzerland but it was also out of concern.

he needed you to cool down before you completely burnt out.

you were highly ambitious and a high achiever for as long as he had known you— only ever wanting to be the best in nearly everything you did from sports to academics. and though the results showed it’s benefits, the mindset also came with its downsides.

“it’s okay to take a break for a day or two, and most importantly, it’s okay to rest. you’re only ever human, and so you can’t do everything at once. there’s no reason to feel guilty,” he let out a laugh as he replied to the response he could foresee coming. “you can finish this last bit of work but promise me you’ll take a break.”

“yeah but-“

“no arguments,” mick cut you off before you could continue. “we’ll bring angie out and get some ice cream or we can do something else. i don’t want you burning out. doing things at a slow pace with breaks will always be better than overdoing things and burning out because reigniting a flame isn’t always easy”

I- I loved these new layers!!!!! Hahaha//

queen I have layers for dayzzz. I’ve spent the last 2+days hyper fixating on this couple. the lore that my silly little brain has thought up is wiiild. So forgive me if I become annoying. Just tell me to stop and I will. No hard feelings

Adding the online hate and maybe, just a tiny bity of toto not supporting their relationship at first or jugding and yup reader goes all in to keep it a secret and mick is 100% the supportive partner making sure she knows theres nothing wrong with their decision.//

oh this was something I was thinking about too. like I don’t even see this as being anything major either. like it’s wasn’t Toto issuing ultimatums or fuck smashing any headphones. he was just skeptical. He knows his child and she is a sensitive girl. wasn’t sure if Little Wolff had what it took to be in a relationship like this. I’ve kinda head cannoned that she’s not a social media person, she doesn’t like attention for attention sake, she’s almost the antithesis of your stereotypical gen z(very similar to Lance’s vibe. Happy with his safe people. Quite otherwise). So Toto is rightly concerned. He knows that dating a driver specially a Schumacher, whether they like it or not going to cause some media attention. I think in the beginning just assumed it would be a short-lived relationship and was just hoping that he didn’t have to pick sides. Or that anybody got their feelings too hurt. As soon as he realized that this was serious, his attitude completely changed. Very supportive. But. I do think that that’s stuck around in the back of little Wolff’s mind whether she realized it or not. So when all the drama happened and she found out she was pregnant, she made the choice to keep her normal routine, just hiding as long as she could physically and then to subtly drop off the face of the planet for the last couple months that she couldn’t hid it. She just kinda because a homebody. And just made sure that any video calls were chest up. Don’t think it would be too hard to hid with how crazy the end of the year schedule is and then does anyone really expect the young couple to be around during the first couple weeks of break?? The answers no. Everyone except them to be held up somewhere shagging like rabbits.

The seb part!! Gosh. That golden boy menace has my heart. Always has always will. But there just something about him being beekeeper age that just hits different 😝

AND NOW MICK TELLING TOTO TO KEEP IT DOWN SO IT WONT STRESS HIS WIFE KAMCKWJNFNS AAAAAAAAAAA *fanning myself w my hands oof 🤭😮‍💨*//

and like they’re not married! Micks just been calling her that especially in the hospital b/c everyone’s just assumed. But in his mind. Like that’s his WIFE. She will not be disappointed after giving him this magical gift. Mick doesn’t give a fuck if Toto is technically his boss. Muck doesn’t care if he has to go full NEPO baby. He’s a Schumacher, he’ll challenge all of his father’s BDE/psychological warfare to keep that woman happy.

Alright, you got me into the secret baby train choo choo //

Aw but see the great thing about the secret baby train is if it’s done well it’s not the main plot point. Like just a stop. There’s already so much going on it’s just kinda swept away.

I won't ever get annoyed with thots, you can keep them coming as long as you want <3

wasn’t sure if Little Wolff had what it took to be in a relationship like this. // I think papa wolff is protective enough to have a hard time picturing his girl in any relationship, ti doesn't matter if its with a driver or a regular dude, toto just doesn't really vibe with this idea. he's used to be the one who protects her, and he's used to be the one she runs to hide behind, he won't admit it but he's jealous of sharing this duty with someone else.

Mick doesn’t give a fuck if Toto is technically his boss. // they blurred the lines the second he started dating wolff!reader so at this point he doesn't even try to be the nicest, he's honest, and he's clear about his priority and who she wants to please and that is wolff!reader and nobody else, she's the only wolff he'll get shit from (and jackie because jackie absolutely adores mick -cue to baby fever and all- although toto tried making his youngest pick the wolff family side, jack loves the schumachers way too much).

Les Mis / F1 Cross Head Cannons (I realised I have lots of thoughts and opinions actually that must be shared)

I do not think I have seen these two objects of my hyperfixation mixed before and I aim to rectify this error of our ways cause it could be so perfect.

To establish that there's still like the current teams on the grid, Javert and Val Jean would be team principles, so would Fantine (cause girl power!), M. Mabeuf and maybe like Tholomyes (we need a bad guy team principle it's only necessary to balance out the universe also he gives Christian Horner vibes). So like Javert team principle for Mercedes, he's sexy and serious just like Toto (we love you Toto), VJ is team principle at Ferrari cause like Montreuil-sur-Mer he's here to make Ferrari great again. We can give Tholoymes Red Bull, he started great and found out he's the worst. I would think that M. Mabeuf probs like vibes with Aston Martin, he is not similar to Stroll but I think the atmosphere of the team vibes with him. M. Myriel can have Alfa Romeo, cause it's like the sister team kind of to Ferrari and I think that's cute and he and VJ would totally like have zero drama with each other. And also, I would totally be able to see Javert beefing it out like Toto does with the "I have it printed out... you change your car" and is the cute little rule abider like we know he is.

Now to start with organising teams I would like to start that Combeferre would absolutely drive for Mercedes no questions asked the vibes are correct and will not take any other suggestions. I think Combeferre and Courfeyrac would be team merc, Combeferre would be more experienced of the two and Courfeyrac gives me Mick Schumacher vibes (golden retriever vibes big time). They would have minimal team drama but you would get the best like team promo's out of them (wait omg it's giving Nico and Lewis levels of bromance before the big split of 2016).

Enjolras would drive for Ferrari, he is the french equivalent of mr. il predestinato charles leclerc, also he just rocks red (he definitely is one of the rare few that one f3 and f2 rookie season and not to mention the scarily patriotic vibes of Ferrari and tifosi). Team mates with probs Feuilly, cause they get along super well and Feuilly would be scarily good and so they like push each other with a healthy amount of competition (they give Charles and Carlos vibes, well Feuilly would definitely be under-appreciated by fans like Carlos).

Redbull gets Grantaire and Eponine (can we pretend that there's actual real diversity and inclusion in the sport). They give the biggest Maxiel vibes (love each other with so much competition on the track), Grantaire and Eponine would absolutely crash other driver interviews (probs Grantaire to Enjolras for attention). Grantaire gives strong Daniel Ricciardo vibes, the grids biggest jokester (also I mean Dani Ric literally has his own wine company and he's aussie and we aussies can drink from sun up till sun down, and he loves vegas). The team dynamic would be what Dan/Max was with Grantaire being more experienced than Eponine however I believe she could absolutely dominate the grid like Max is doing with a good car.

Special mention of the Grantaire and Enjolras rivalry because this is crucial information. It's giving Charles and Max rivalry which existed since the beginning of time, "Just an inchident = do you permit it". Hate each other (or do they), crazy competitive (would totally have shunts that were like Lewis and Max in 2021 and would each get super angry). Grantaire would totally be like Daniel and shout Enjolras' name across the paddock during interviews and team debriefs. The slow pining/slow burn where they can eventually stand each other (it's definitely a different kind of tension wink wink).

For Aston Martin the drivers would be Bahorel and Marius. Marius has the quiet and nervous energy of Lance and also would probably definitely be a pay driver (more like a pay driver like Lando is but because he's quiet and fans love drama he would definitely be called out on his money situation) he get's better as the years go on. Bahorel would have the super aggressive driving style of like Fernando and also jokes around a shit ton, definitely with Grantaire during drivers meetings, all the time (he just fits the vibe of what Aston Martin is now a days), but he would absolutely be an experienced world champion winning driver (maybe have 1 or 2 under his belt).

The McLaren pair is Bossuet and Joly. Bossuet would be like Fernando Alonso, the guy has made some of the most unluckiest team switches in history and like joined Mclaren during a not so great stage and after Joly joined the team (Joly is giving if Oscar Piastri was a hypochondriac because yes Joly would be an incredibly talented driver just doesn't have much experience on the grid).

RB/Alpha Tauri (why the hell is it named Visa Cash App RB, I hate it), would have Cosette and Gavroche. It would be impossible to not compare Yuki and Gavroche, definitely thought that swear words were normal vocab in the english language, a feisty driver with buckets of talent. Cosette would definitely be like a sort of parental figure, has experience in the team and also has a firm driving style but not careless inexperience like Gavroche so she is definitely helping him improve. Cosette would sorta be like Sebastian Vettel (cause hell yeah power to women, we love women), the most caring and adoring soul who got over the super rebellious phase that won her multiple championships and definitely has something going on with Eponine in their history (Cosette would be a former Red Bull driver who stepped out and then back into the sport).

Musichetta and Jehan would be drivers for Williams. Musichetta would definitely be in the Mercedes pipeline and like a more friendly version of George Russell, she would absolutely love the memes and is seen in the Mclaren garage all the time just to stir up rumours of all kinds like a girlboss. Jehan is like Albon (animal farm back home included, all the animals), definitely would have come from Red Bull after being dropped by them because Red Bull team higher ups are idiots. He would totally be a really good driver and drag that tractor of a car with Musichetta and put Williams in a good position for the constructors. He would absolutely have been previous team mates with Grantaire at Toro Rosso.

Haas goes to Montparnasse, don't ask why that's just the way it goes also cause I feel like he would definitely have done some shady shit in the sport (crashgate, spygate) and while he is an incredible driver he is a bit too prickly for other team mates (and also Haas previously has partnered with some sketchy people but they are on the up and up now).
