hi @flo55i lovely! this is a great ask - I decided to go super duper rare for this, so, primarily under 50 works per pairing. there will be a part two, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy these. 🤍

Lando/Oscar

purring in my lap ('cause he loves me) by @nyoomfruits | T | 5k Lando is visited often by Oscar's 'emotional support cat' - but not all is as it seems! This story is adorable. Oscar is very cat-coded, and the author captures that here beautifully. One thing that I really love about this author's writing is their use of humour - it always hits so perfectly.

'And he kind of looks like Oscar, too. Slender, lean, and with a slightly grumpy, unimpressed expression on his face. It makes Lando laugh a little. Like owner, like pet, clearly.'

Pierre/Pierre H

I Just Need Your Talking Next to Me by ghostmyghosthost | M | 8k Pierre and his engineer cope with the impending move to Alpine. This is a lovely, sweet story - the author characterises both of them fantastically, and the angst hits just right.

'Pierre couldn't even look at him during that speech that day in Suzuka, fear that the dam he’d carefully constructed around his emotions would collapse at any moment, any wrong movement, an errant glance, a wry smile, and his composed exterior would collapse.'

Bono/Charles

nsfw: Saltwater and Gasoline by @kritischetheologie | E | 15.4k Charles makes a move to Mercedes. To say that this fic changed my life would not be an exaggeration! The Charles characterisation here is some of my favourite in the whole fandom. The relationship that develops between the two of them took my breath away, at points - so warm and secure and lovely. I loved every second of this. I wish I could read it again for the first time.

'Bono’s eyes are soft, but the intensity of his gaze, the weight of it, leaves Charles speechless. He can feel the steady thrumming of his pulse in his wrists, his fingertips.'

George/Max

nsfw: winning mentality by @drivestraight | E | 18.5k Friends(-ish) with benefits. This is such a stunning story. The author truly captures Max and George in the most striking way - the push-pull-push-pull here is incredible. One thing that this author always does very well is gorgeous, circular storytelling: every single thing they write feels so beautifully thought out, so fulfilling. This fic is wonderful.

'Just because it will make a good story doesn’t mean that it has to happen.'

George/Guanyu

daffodils by @ruszhou | T | 27.4k An exploration of their relationship, post-Silverstone 2022. This is a really lovely fic - their friendship/relationship blossoms in such a beautiful, natural way. I love the way this author writes dialogue. It always flows so well.

'Guanyu smiles at him. It’s weird, the comfortable wavelength they share with one another. Guanyu has never met someone like George before — met someone who was just like him before — but it’s nice. The fact that he doesn’t have to explain himself twice is nice. Humbling. Maybe even a little cathartic.'

4. favourite rarepair fic? answered by @lydia-petze, and immediately followed by several other server members saying - damn it, I was going to choose that one!:

winning mentality by @drivestraight is max/george. I never would have thought of them as a pairing but linearity could get me to read anything. And it works.

5. longest fic you read this year? answered by @boxboxbrioche:

Fool's Gold by @chubbydino (745k, E). A true treasure of the fandom - at 745k, this fic might be the longest I've read ever, let alone this year. What the author has done here is nothing short of a masterpiece- and this New Year's I am raising a glass to their incredible talent, and their mammoth generosity in sharing their time, energy, and wonderful work with us. 🥂

12. fic you want everyone to study in a literature class? answered by @boxboxbrioche:

evocatio by @vicsy. everything she writes is stunning, but this is a step above. it's like every single word, every piece of grammar, every sentence has been put there purposefully, to hurt and to disgust and to ache and to stun and to awe. it is stunning. ethereal, like poetry. I want everyone to study it, to pick apart all of her clever turns of phrases and use of imagery and metaphor. ❤️

Daniel/Max

nsfw: I struck a match and blew your mind by @33max | Not Rated | 4.1k

Max is a getaway driver and starts to work with Daniel on jobs. I loved the pacing of this fic. There's so much detail and progress within this and the author really did a great job of picking which parts to highlight for the plot progression. I loved Max's commitment to Daniel.

“I am, I promise. I think it’s just a broken rib or two.” Daniel says, and his hand comes up to squeeze Max’s shoulder from the backseat. There is blood on his knuckles. “C’mon Maxy, be a good boy and get us out of here.” So Max does. He gets them out of there, but he feels sick. Not because they almost got caught, but because he knows that if Daniel really had needed to go to the hospital he would not have been able to leave him there. He would have let them both get caught over leaving Daniel alone and hurt on a hospital doorstep.

nsfw: strangers by bloodmoonforme | E | 37.9k

Daniel, a detective, is on a not-quite-dead-end murder case when they bring in Max from out of state to help him solve it. They have history and havent seen each other in four years. I loved the tone in this so much. The author has a very coherent narrative that build just right, its really intriguing. I also love how the reader almost solves the case too. Not only the murder case, but the /what happened to Max and Daniel/ case that gets revealed throughout. Its a truly well written fic with a lot of action and feelings!

He gets up, his stomach feeling heavier and colder by the second. There's something creeping all the way from his fingers, up his arms and to his belly, a prickly sick thing. Then he looks towards the center of the room, marked by a well-worn rug. Daniel stands there, alone in Esther’s bedroom, standing in the half-light. He's there, and suddenly he’s not.

nsfw: Bite Down and Taste Red by @mysticalbreadcollective | E | 46.5k

Max works in a bar, and Daniel is the Mafia Boss who keeps buying drinks. This story is absolutely captivating - from beginning to end, it is so beautifully written and paced, with just enough angst to make things truly delicious. Daniel is so much fun here - hot and charismatic and so very head over heels for his bartender!

He finds out that Max speaks several languages, and he’s from a place called Hasselt, which means absolutely nothing to Daniel. He’d looked it up later, on the map on his phone, squinting at it. Compared with the US, its miniscule. He can’t imagine Max being born in a place so small. When Max is so – much.

Carlos/Lando & Daniel/Max

i'll race you for pinks by @chubbydinosaur | M | 30k

Lando is brought on to a heist by professional criminal, Carlos. Sparks fly. This story is such a fun ride - as always, this author perfectly balances humour, emotion, and high stakes action, and it makes for a thrilling read. Lando is so disarmingly charming in this - I adored him!

Daniel/Lando

til the bone crush by @clementiaes | T | 19k

Pacific Rim is perfect for Formula 1 AUs, and this is one of my favourite examples. Daniel and Lando are paired as Jaeger pilots. Both are coming off of other drift partners with baggage - Daniel from Max after Max’s career ending injury, and Lando from something that could have been a relationship with Carlos, had Lando’s insecurities not buried it before it started. Lando is prickly, closed-off and miserable at the start of this story, convinced he is unlovable. This story is about him gently and gradually being opened up to the realisation that people love him, and that he deserves to be loved.

The point is, no one is getting tired of you any time soon,” Daniel says. “Seriously, who even told you that?” Lando looks down at his hands, picking at a hangnail. “No one. I just — I know I’m not easy to get along with.” Daniel frowns. “You deserve to be happy,” he says, finally. “You know that, right?” Lando looks down at his knees. “Look at me, Lando,” Daniel says, but Lando doesn’t. His shoulders are starting to creep back up near his ears again. Daniel’s moving before he quite knows what he’s doing. He gets one hand on Lando’s shoulder and one on his chin, turning his face so that he’ll look at him. Lando sucks in a sharp breath, eyes wide, but to Daniel’s surprise, he doesn’t pull away. “I don’t know how you got it into your head that you’re like, unlovable, or something, but it’s not true,” Daniel says. “Really. You think you can believe that for me?”

Charles/Sebastian

He Is All, And He Is More by @effervescentdragon | M | 15k

In this AU of The Old Guard, Sebastian and Charles are immortals that meet on the battlefield during the Crusades. They kill one another over and over, until they reach a tentative understanding. Their relationship deepens over the centuries. It can be difficult to write characters as ancient and make them feel ancient, and Akira really does. I love the tentative way they negotiate one another, and the understanding they gradually come to. Battlefield enemies to lovers is quite the relationship arc.

"And if we only met a thousand of years from now, you would still be wearing red.” “Why?” Sebastian shrugs, a grin evident in the dark. “Your red string dictates it. Fate, or something. Destiny. Red suits you. You look good in red.” Charles bites his tongue. “So do you.”

Lewis/Nico/Sebastian

on golden sands by sionisjaune | T | 6.2k

Lewis Hamilton is planning the heist of the century and he wants Sebastian Vettel on his team. The target - Baron Nico Rosbergs car collection. Sounds simple on paper but reality never is. Oceans Eleven heist!au. Who doesnt love a good heist!au? This author writes some of my favourite sebcedes, the characterisations are spot on and the vibes are at turns wholesome and rancid. Perfection in a fic!

Rosberg greets Seb at the gate, behind the windshield of a pale blue Bentley. The paint job sparkles in the golden sunlight, and the hood ornament gleams chrome. The gates roll open at his whim with an ear-splitting, metallic sound. Rosberg beckons animatedly from behind the wheel, and Seb gets the message that he should leave his car and join Rosberg in the Bentley for the ride up to the house. […] Before Seb can slide into the passenger's side of the Bentley, Rosberg has to shoo a pudgy English bulldog into the backseat. It clambers, ungainly, over the console and waddles into the back, collapsing in a happy, wrinkly lump on the leather seats. “Who’s this?” Seb asks, watching long strings of drool ooze from the dog’s flabby mouth onto the pristine interior of Rosberg’s classic Bentley. Seb once saw an R-type Bentley much like this one go for two and a half million at auction. “This is Roscoe,” says Rosberg, long-sufferingly. “The result of an unfortunate affair.”

Charles/Pierre

Hic Svnt Leones by @cerona10 | M | 32.6k

Charles is different to how Pierre remembers him. The world-building in this fic is second to none - it’s absolutely stunning! The world feels so full and alive, and it’s easy to get completely sucked in. The way they build in exposition is so clever and natural feeling, and the action is exhilirating and fun to read. Perfect!

His shadow isn’t his own, not anymore. It shakes and shimmers, fighting against its own shape. His shadow’s head twists and breaks before mending itself into that of a horse, neighing and trashing, a single horn jutting out from its forehead. Its jaw unhinges and it begins breathing heavily, drool escaping its mouth like a waterfall.

Fernando/Lance

nsfw: Venus Flytrap by @pitconfirm | E | 25.7k (wip)

Professional criminal Fernando Alonso is recruited for a job. His mission: seduce Lance Stroll. This fic is RED HOT. From the very first few sentences, Fernando exudes this confidence that is so much fun to read. Contrasted with Lance - pouty, privileged, and surprisingly vulnerable - the dynamics are gorgeous. This author is so fantastic at dialogue and pacing, and this fic flows so beautifully. I can't wait to read more!

Once they reach the games room, it’s easy to spot him among the crowd. For the past few days, Fernando has been memorising every freckle on Lance’s skin. He could recognise him from just the curl of hair on his tender nape, but the most striking thing about Lance is his demeanour—elbows rested on the roulette table while he boredly holds his head in his hands, huffing in disappointment when he loses again. His carelessness stands out starkly against the opulent golden trims and old paintings covering every wall. A boy like Lance doesn’t belong in a place like this, but money talks.

nsfw: green light, red wine (and i don't feel fine) by @vicsy | E | 18.8k (wip)

Fernando is the Mafia boss who owns the club that Lance Stroll - son of his biggest rival - wanders into. This story is SO HOT. The tension between them is palpable, and they bounce off each other so well. You get the feeling that both of them are underestimating each other, and it makes for so much delicious tension. Amazing!

There aren’t many opportunities Fernando deliberately missed in his life. He wouldn’t be on top if he did. Right next to him, clad in a tight white t-shirt, sits an opportunity for a power move, the one Fernando would take all the way.

Carlos/Charles

you let me in, and baby that's when by @betzykielberg | Not Rated | 193.7k | WIP

Carlos and Charles witness a crime and end up in witness protection posing as a couple. Alpha!Carlos, omega!Charles. This author has a way of writing that makes the characters feel so real and present, and I always find myself swept away by the emotions their writing induces in me. This fic follows the developing relationship between Charles and Carlos, who both have been hurt by their significant other before and have the emotional scars to prove it. It is a fic that makes you believe that while love can be the thing that hurts you the most it can also be as good and wholesome as in the movies, if you work for it.

Charles wasn’t a good Omega, he'd never been, and would never become, a good Omega, and in his teenage years after coming to the conclusion that an Alpha would never want someone like him, he'd decided that there was no point in trying to conform to the societal expectations that were pushed upon him. Thusly, he'd been a very bad Omega, enjoying his youth for all it was worth and it had worked for a while. When he'd met Peter, he had almost started to doubt this, wondered if an Alpha could want him after all, that he could be good enough, but it had turned out that he'd been right all along. No Alpha would ever want him, it wasn’t in the cards for Charles to live his life happily mated, he was destined for other things.

nsfw: 18:16 by venerat | E | 8.9k

Carlos, an alpha, is in a contented and comfortable relationship with Lorenzo, a beta. When Carlos meets Lorenzo's omega brother, he experiences temptation unlike anything he has ever known. What I liked about it: This fic is bittersweet. Carlos's relationship with Lorenzo is good, and stable, if maybe a little settled, and he is a good man and a good boyfriend. Charles is something of a force of nature, however, and once Carlos sees and scents him, it's the beginning of the end for him and Lorenzo.

God, if he was fruit, Carlos would have been sent down from the garden in an instant. He would have eaten Charles whole.

George/Toto

nswf: And Silver, And Samarium by @on-softs | E | 5.2k

Drivers are required to submit to their team principals in order to form a mental connection. George has difficulty doing so. (There is a dubcon warning on this fic, I would call it mild but YMMV) Why I liked it: The George POV is very believable, his desire to submit is strong but his anxiety about not doing it well enough is interfering with the mental process of it. Toto is authoritative and gentle with him, and applies his problem solving abilities to the problem at hand.

When he imagined it actually happening, submitting to Toto, there was no real setting. White light, like how the afterlife looked in films, because his brain hadn’t wanted to expend the power to render the rest of it. It was all just Toto and the warm folds of his face and how they’d crease while smiling down on George from such an unfamiliar, acute angle, George at his heel, combining himself perfectly into his vast, sweeping presence, lunging at the chance. George was ready to belong to Mercedes. Ready to be fast. He’d proven it. He supposed that was a childish way to imagine things, but that was always how he thought of it.

Charles/Max

nsfw: sweet kiwi (your juice is dripping down my chin) by @amarynas | E | 5.8k

One day, Charles wakes up with a pussy, and he isn't sure what to do with it. In comes a vibrator, and Max Verstappen. This was super hot (big chussy fan) and the plot is also so so funny. Charles wakes up in an alternate universe pretty much, and although it's supposed to be straight up smut, it's really really funny.

People couldn’t read clocks in dreams, right? He hurdled back to his bed, trying his best to ignore the missing feeling of his cock slapping against his thigh, and tapped on his phone screen. Wednesday, 2. August it read, and underneath 08:38. Since when did he have his phone set to English? Another thing he could, and should, worry about later. For now, the pussy problem was his biggest issue.

thank you to @lydia-petze @blueballsracing and @frickinsweet for compiling this week's list 🤍
