hey,

maybe something for soulmate and scars with pando. Maybe it’s an au where they have tattoos that match.

Maybe lando was in a previous abusive relationship which left him with multiple bigger scars and cigarette burns, and he really struggles not to hide them in public and feels really insecure about them. Also because it reminds him of his ex. Perhaps that man faked his tattoo so lando thinks he’s actually his soulmate but he just wants ti use lando for his money. Lando is still young and impressionable so he doesn’t realise that the tattoo is not real. The man becomes more controlling and starts abusing him and lando feels like it’s his fault that the relationship isn’t thriving and that he should accept the treatment because it’s his soulmate. lando’s friends only start to notice when it’s basically too late. They can get him out by calling the police but it leaves lando emotionally and physically scarred so he needs a lot of therapy.

Pierre is basically his real soulmate and they realise soon after but lando is still seriously struggling and perhaps he doesn’t let himself believe that pierre‘s one is actually real. But pierre has so much patience and is so respectful of lando‘s boundaries. And helps hom feels confident again in his own body and be proud of what it is able to do even if there are scars.

I love this!!!

Lando being so young and from a known wealthy family. He's living on his own, trying to be independent despite his friends George, Alex, Max and Charles all offering for him to live with them. He wants to try live alone, and sure he knows his parents gave him this apartment, but he's paying the bills and working and doing university and he's damn proud of it. He's trying to be the best him because he wants to be good for his soulmate. He grew up with his parents who never fought, they were perfect soulmates and Lando wants that.

So when his classmate who is slightly older shows up with a soul mark that matches Lando's, Lando is so excited. Maybe he had crush on this man, and then he wears short sleeves one day and Lando sees it. They hit it off, and at first, he is so sweet. He's the perfect boyfriend, and no one blinks when he moves in with Lando after a month because "they are soulmates, this is how it is".

At the same time, Pierre joins the friend group and Lando feels an instant friendship with him, but they never see each others marks even if Pierre has a bit of a crush on Lando.

Until Lando shows up at George and Alex's apartment and he has hand prints on his throat, and a black eye and they realise how much weight he's lost and how little they've seen of him outside of uni. And they call the cops despite Lando crying and telling them not to because "it's my fault, I wasn't being a good soulmate, he is never like this, just let me stay here tonight until he cools down". Of course they see through that, they even call Max who has experience with abuse to talk to Lando and thats when Lando breaks and tells them everything. They get Lando's parent's involved, and it even goes to trial and Lando is a wreck.

It's about a month later when they all go away to the beach for a weekend to relax. Lando is still struggling, and he's refusing to take off his hoodie and jeans because he hasn't told them how badly scarred he is from the abuse. Pierre is sitting with him for a good bit, chatting and making him laugh and Lanod eventually encourages him to go have fun and when pierre takes his top off, Lando almost has a panic attack when he sees the mark. It matches his, and it just throws Lando right back to his ex and Pierre has no clue why until Charles is asking him how he has Lando's soulmark, and then explaining to him that his ex had Lando's mark tattooed once he over heard Lando's family were wealthy and had seen it in class by accident once.

Pierre feels awful, especially when Lando needs to have an emergecny therapy call, but he knows he will wait forever for Lando to heal before he ever entertains them acting on their soul bond.

And he tells Lando that, which takes some pressure off Lando yet they can't help but grow closer.

Maybe during a bad day when Lando is telling Pierre to leave, that he'll never love him and Pierre will never love him because "I'm ruined", and shows Pierre the scars because he's trying to scar ehim away.

But Pierre doesn't scare.

He just hugs Lando and tells him that those scars show how he survived. They show how Lando fought and survived and Pierre is proud of him everyday for deciding to go to George and Alex instead of hiding. That those marks are warrior marks and Lando has nothing to be ashamed of

[f1-birb]

5 head canons about your Pando University AU please?

ooo okay

1. Pierre and Lando have only been officially dating for about two weeks before Pierre has cleared out a drawer and some hanger space for him. Charles teases him over it a little but Pierre couldn't care less, he has a feeling in his gut and his heart that says it's right (and a couple of months later when Lando leaves his first t-shirt in the drawer he knows he was right)

2. Lando, George and Alex have a schedule for movie nights, and they alternate between just the three of them and where significant others are invited if they're available. It's something they've had since they were younger and it's a tradition they're keeping up for as long as possible. Lando nine times out of ten always ends up in the middle and it's 50/50 as to whether he falls asleep before the end. George will always make little comments under his breath that he can't help, and Alex has an uncontrollable reflex to call out animals

3. Pierre is extremely liberal with pet names in French, and he's always quick to translate them after the "mon petit lutin" incident (Lando was very offended at being called a goblin before Pierre explained that was the very literal translation and he was really calling him his little elf or imp) - the one he takes a while to translate is "mon doudou" because he really means it when he says Lando is his comforter, Lando is the one thing that will always bring him comfort

4. Lando has almost a Pavlovian response to Pierre offering him food. If Lando's in the middle of something and super zoned in/focused, normally they'd struggle to get him to take a break or eat or drink, but if Pierre holds out a straw or a piece of food Lando will just open his mouth and eat it, which proves itself useful when Lando has looming deadlines and stresses over his work so much

5. George was really nervous to introduce Michael, his boyfriend, to the group because they have such a close dynamic and probably are a little too close as friends and not everyone wants their partner to have that. Michael's also a couple of years older, and George knows they won't, but he worries they might judge him a little for it especially since he met Michael at work. He ends up feeling really daft when they bring Michael into the fold as naturally as breathing and George loves how well he gets on with them all. The moment he decides Michael's 'the one' is when he gets back from doing a food shop and he sees Michael and Lando cuddling - Lando's asleep and Michael's looking at something on his phone and he looks up at George with a soft smile. He tells him he's finally got Lando to stop stressing since Pierre finally replied after having broken his phone while visiting family in France, and George is so in love because he knows not everyone would be so happy to calm down their boyfriend's best friend and cuddle him to sleep
