nothing moves me like landoscar being happy at each other after good sessions

when you plan to write a cute little scene and go look for real life info and the real life in question was indeed very cute

i think i found a part of me beside you

on ao3 | by misanthropymuse

Mark gives Oscar a weird racing tip. In Monaco, he figures that trying it out can't hurt more than being out of the points every weekend. He surely wasn't expecting it to put his heart to the test as he begins to question all that he knows about himself. But as it turns out, some heartache and mistakes are necessary to discover who he is and find happiness where he least expected it.

From Chapter 2:

“Right, well,” Oscar continues, valiantly ignoring his embarrassment. “Mark told me that we can… well, not that, but almost.” Lando blinks at him, completely lost, and Oscar fights the urge to groan. Why did his sleep-deprived brain ever think he could face this conversation like a normal person? “I mean to…” He moves his fist in the briefest jerking motion. “But stop right before—you know.” Lando’s eyes go wide as he leans forward across the table. When he speaks, it’s in a stunned whisper. “Mark told you to edge yourself before a race?”

when you get to the desperate yet frantically denied yearning part of the slow burn and you can make your blorbo as pathetic as you wish

guess who just posted chapter 8 of i think i found a part of me beside you !!!!!!!!!! me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the things I like most about pomby is the amount of scenes that can perfectly happen IRL 😭 It's by far my favorite fic right now

aaaaaaaa this is so nice to hear 😭

i really do try to make everything believable. often to the point of overthinking stupid details, but!! for me it's all about them finding their love for each other in the little moments, the ordinary things of the life fate brought them together to share. so it has to feel like their real lives. im truly really happy to know it works for others too 🥺

thank you so much for telling me this 🩷

No race this weekend means I had to post chapter 7 of i think i found a part of me beside you at 3 pm on Sunday so I can still get some emotions

[complementaryhalves]

i wasn't this much into oscarmark when i started writing this fic but now i am and it's hard to write normal interactions between them without feeding the UST i kinda want to be there

[complementaryhalves]

when i decided to include cheating in this fic i didn't know i would feel such sheer glee being evil to the fictionalised version of these people, but i do, and i love it, and I'm getting eviler and eviler with each related scene

CECILIA !!!!!!!! IDK IF YOUVE SEEN THIS YET BUT POMBY !!!! www(.)instagram(.)com/reel/C-8wBuiod0l/?igsh=c3duZzBndHl0bnV0

first of all, you spooked me cause i was like how do you know my name, then remembered i have it in my tags

second of all, YES, that is exactly the video that inspired the whole fic. i saw it on tiktok, on the 17th of may, and immediately had this insane thought about what lando might have meant. went to tell my beloved @chiliconsharls (who actually came up with the idea that it was mark who'd suggest doing it), brainstormed it a bit, and the rest is history i guess.

isn't it fun to have lore about your own fics?

thank you for this!!

[complementaryhalves]

with the amount of time i spent writing this fic and doing research for it one would think i now have a clear idea on how the fuck the mclaren motorhome(s) is shaped, but i still honestly don't have a fucking clue, and i hope none of my readers do because at this point i'm just making shit up as i go

[complementaryhalves]

I love your edging fic, it reminds me of the red or green flag game, when lando tells oscar to break up with his girlfriend for being a pescatarian??? the lando in your fic has that energy but without joking ijbol

anon i genuinely burst out laughing at this

you're so right. the lando in this fic is definitely the lando from that video, being his silliest, pettiest, scorpio-est self in search of that OP-dick

[complementaryhalves]
