hello everyone today i bring to you snippets of abandoned fics that never made it to ao3 in the hope that someone might like one of them

胸がはち切れそうで - yuki/liam

Liam is so absorbed in trying to find anything resembling a restaurant that he walks face-first into a wooden hanging sign with ‘Maple Leaf Eatery’ printed on it. He’s dazed enough from his encounter with the sign that when he reads it and knows immediately what it means, he thinks that he’s magically gained the ability to read Japanese. Then he blinks a couple of times and the English words focus into place, which makes much more sense than hitting your head and randomly gaining the power to understand a new language. The word ‘eatery’ sounds like a good one to Liam’s rumbling stomach, so he pushes the door open and steps into a space that looks like someone threw Italy and Japan together and blended them into a soup. Some of the décor leans towards traditional Japanese; maple leaf kakejiku adorn the walls, sections are divided by shoji screens, and the floor is tatami, but bolder Italian colours stand out amongst neutral Japanese ones, adding highlights to important pieces, and there’s a Roman-style statue in the centre that goes nicely with the roof—also obviously Italian-inspired with its embellished patterns. The gold-framed menu displayed at the front of the restaurant is written in both Japanese and English, with Italian headings for the sections, and, perhaps best of all, Liam can smell pizza. Feeling leagues more confidence than he did not a minute ago, he tries his best to ask for a table for one in Japanese, adjusting his tie to show that he meant business, which didn’t particularly help as both the waiters on duty blinked at him, said「英語?」and then left, leaving Liam rather confused. 「僕が何とかするから、心配しないで。」 The return of the waiters is announced with a conversation in rapid Japanese; accompanying them is a sharply-dressed young man with fluffy hair and a determined expression written across his face. He squeaks to a halt in front of Liam; he can’t help but notice that this young man is almost a whole head shorter than him.

untitled - nyck & logan & oscar & ollie & kimi & jack & liam

Nyck knew he was going to feel out of place the moment the idea was pitched to him. It had been Logan who had told him about it, nervously calling him up in the days after the Lone Star Le Mans, which fell on the same weekend as the Italian Grand Prix. Logan had said, hesitantly, as if he didn’t want to bother Nyck, that they were planning a sleepover of sorts for the 2023 and 2025 rookies. To welcome the newbies into F1, he said. Nyck wanted to laugh. Out of the four of them—the three ‘full-time’ rookies and Liam—only Oscar was guaranteed to have a seat next year, so they’d be welcoming people they don’t even get to race with. But Logan had pleaded, saying it would be better with him there, that he deserves something good after the shit Williams put him through, and Nyck had given in. Now, pulling up outside some random hotel their teams had paid for—in exchange for enough footage to narrate whatever story they like, of course—he almost wishes he hadn’t. He hopes that the smile he’s giving his phone camera as he walks into the hotel doesn’t convey as much nervousness as he feels. He barely knows the three rookies, and he can’t imagine having much in common with them, having an average age of nineteen next to Nyck’s twenty-nine. Even Logan, Oscar, and Liam are so much younger than him. He has a brief flash of wishing he was born in 2004—that would make their ages all in a row, nice and even; 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. Maybe then he’d be next-generation instead of a washed-up has-been desperately trying to stay afloat in the WEC and Formula E.

untitled - alain/ayrton

warning: mentions of AIDS.

“Have you heard? Piquet says Senna’s gay.” These rumours had shocked Ayrton the first time he had heard them, but now, about the fifteenth time he’s heard them this month, he is beginning to tire of them. That’s funny, that sure isn’t what your wife said, he had told Nelson when the rumours had started, ended the quip with a Portuguese insult to drive the point home, but he had already seized the chance to try to ruin Ayrton’s image, so this dig, low as it was, did little to dissuade him. Of course, it didn’t help that Alain Prost was also in on it. Ayrton’s rival has vehemently denied any involvement, but Ayrton reckons that Alain wouldn’t notice the concept of integrity if it danced in front of him wearing the stupid hat Ron Dennis had shown up to last week’s team meeting in. He jolts himself back to the present, back to his sister’s house in Brazil, where Viviane is reading the newspaper and his four-year-old nephew Bruno is driving a large plastic truck across the carpet, making loud ‘vroom’ noises. Bruno looks up at Ayrton as if he wants to invite his uncle to come and play, but Ayrton’s attention is fixated on the front page of Viviane’s newspaper. Mais Casos de AIDS no Brasil, Nova Contagem de Mortes Relatada This is why Ayrton’s still bothered by Piquet calling him gay. In this world, calling someone gay is the equivalent to telling them I want to see you die alone, of AIDS, with no-one to be by your side in your final moments because you have brought disgrace to everyone you love and they have all left you to rot away.

heat lightning, running outside the window - logan/liam

Logan Sargeant is not in his right mind. Somewhere within his brain he knew that Liam Lawson would replace Daniel Ricciardo after his crash. He was the AlphaTauri reserve driver, after all. But somehow, he’s been caught off-guard by it, like he didn’t expect to see his former teammate so soon. Perhaps Liam thought it unfair that Logan had been the one to get an F1 seat despite finishing only fourth to Liam’s third in the 2022 F2 championship—albeit by only one point—and had returned to get his comeuppance. Ridiculous thought. Liam was here because Danny Ric broke his hand after crashing into Oscar Piastri—another one of Logan’s former teammates, perhaps they were truly all connected—and he, as the reserve driver, had been asked to step up. That makes perfect sense. Still, Logan can’t help but think that somehow, Liam has joined the grid solely to spite him. He wishes that he had a better car, so he could fight him on the track side by side, rather than fighting with his own stupid Williams at the back of the grid, trying desperately to get the car to behave. P10 in qualifying had felt like a fluke, he felt like he was fighting the car the whole way through, when truthfully he wants to be fighting for pole along with all the front runners, wanted to be fighting like his teammate was fighting, fourth on the grid after setting the fastest time in Q1, he wants to believe he has what it takes. Most of all, though he can’t quite work out why, he wants to hear Liam’s ‘well done, mate’, feel the slap on his back just like he’d do in their F2 days. He foolishly hoped he could hear it after his P10, but Liam was clearly disappointed by his own performance, and it would be selfish of Logan to expect him to congratulate someone after he had clearly not lived up to his own expectations.

Forever Irresistible [5/5] - Lando Norris

Lando Norris x Fem!Reader

written by alocon

Summary: Despite all hope, Lando never lost his feelings for his best friend's twin sister. However, he still hadn't acted on it. Well, that was until the party, which led you two into a long-term secret relationship

Warnings and Tropes: Fluff, implied smut (no actual smut though), final part

[Part One Here] [Part Two Here] [Part Three Here] [Part 4 Here] [Masterlist]

Irresistible - LN4 x Fem!Reader

“Can we get lunch together tomorrow to talk? Just me and you?”, the 12 words which had been absolutely overwhelming you for the past hour. Rather than give you an idea about what your brother wanted to talk about, Max had instead left you with an ominous “could go either way” message.

You see, it seemed like he was coming around after that family dinner, when he asked you to message him, but no. He instead expressed that he would not be talking to you for a while to work out how he felt about it. It's fine, you thought, a while may only be a couple of weeks. However, he instead decided that “a while” would be at least 8 months. That being said, it was now the day before you and Lando would fly out to Austin for the COTA grand prix. You would be meeting up with Max for breakfast instead of lunch and then would go straight to the airport to what might possibly be one of your favourite tracks. The atmosphere was great, the racing was fun, and there was only a tiny chance that you would manage to walk around the paddock without Daniel or Logan putting a cowboy hat on your head.

A lot had happened after the 2024 season. Lewis had, of course, gone to Ferrari. Nico Hulkenberg had left Haas, leaving an empty space that Checo filled in. And he had done surprisingly well, scoring Haas’ first ever win. By the power of magic? Who knows but that man had become a hell of a good driver to be able to do that. To bring a tractor to 1st takes some skill, especially with 2 Red bulls, 1 Mercedes and 1 Ferrari still in the race.

Daniel had taken the Red Bull seat, of course, and Yuki was next in line for it. Liam had taken his place in AlphaTauri. Mercedes had seen a new addition to Formula One, with Frederik Vesti taking the Mercedes seat. It was meant to be Mick but after his Le Mans win, he realised that maybe he preferred world endurance a little more. Carlos had obviously left Ferrari with the addition of Lewis. However, instead of joining another team, he left F1 for a season to rally with his dad and would be driving again in 2026 when Valtteri was planning to do a Kimi and go do another type of racing for a couple of years. Other than that, the grid had remained the same. Max in Red Bull, George in Mercedes, Charles in Ferrari, Lando and Oscar in McLaren (Lando had signed a contract until 2027), Fernando and Lance were still in Aston Martin and were rocking it, Lance having got his first win and Fernando his first in like 10 years in 2024, along with 2 more for his collection. Pierre and Esteban still drive for Alpine, Nico for Haas, Zhou for Sauber, and Alex and Logan for Williams. Logan had done really well, too. He got a couple of podiums the previous season.

Lando still hadn't got his first win. Lots of podiums, but no wins. However, that was hardly his fault. The Red Bull, as per, absolutely ripped.

Walking into the café, you were nervous. You had no reason to be, realistically speaking. Lan had proven to you that he had absolutely no intention of leaving you because of Max, as he had proven over the past 2 years and a few months. You saw Max already there when you arrived so you took a seat at the table with him. It was mostly quiet until you both had ordered your breakfast and drinks, after which you finally spoke up. “Why have you called me here, Max? After not speaking to me for like 8 or 9 months.”

“I miss you. I miss being your twin, having you to look up to and doing dumb stuff together. I miss being the iconic non-driver grid duo. I-”

You cut him off. “Max if you're going to tell me that and then say something about me breaking up with Lando, I will leave. I will walk out of the door right now.”

“You don't need to do that. I just miss you. If you and Lando being together makes you happy, which it clearly does, then maybe I was overreacting.”

“Maybe? Max, you told him he had to choose between me and you,” you said as you took a bite of your food. “You shouted at me for being with him. Made comments about how it wouldn't last because he doesn't love people. But he loves me. He has for years. And I love him. And I just want that to be okay for someone.”

Max nodded, understanding completely why you were upset with him. He looked at you, waiting a few moments before speaking. “I accept the relationship, just so you know. I think… I have for a while, it just upset me a lot that you didn't think that you could tell me for over a year so I freaked out.”

“I think freak out is an understatement, there. Now if that's all, I have a plane to catch.”

“Wait,” he said, placing his hand on your arm to stop you leaving straight away. “It sounds silly but there is a type of counselling/therapy for family members who want to repair their bonds. I've been going to individual therapy for a year, maybe we could give at least one session of the family therapy a go, see if it helps?”

You sighed, mentally weighing the pros and cons. “Okay. One session and we will see where that takes us. I seriously have to go though, Lando is here to get me.”

You stood up, quickly paying for both of your meals despite your brother's objection. You gave him a hug before you left. COTA here we come, you thought.

The journey to America was on a private jet with some of the other drivers. Lewis had, ever so sweetly, invited you and Lando on his jet along with him (obviously), Charles, Arthur (who was racing this weekend as Charles had badly sprained his wrist the previous day but still wanted to watch his brother drive), and George. The plane ride was great, as always, you all talked and played games, you humbled your boyfriend in many games of Uno and Mario kart, you and Lewis caught up, you and Arthur gossiped, overall, it was a great plane ride.

“And Lando Norris wins the United States Grand Prix!”

You don't think you'd ever cried as much in your life as you had watching your boyfriend cross the finish line. He had tried every single race and finally, for the first time, he had come first after so much bad luck.

As the checkered flag waved and the roar of the crowd filled the air, Lando stormed across the finish line, the first-time winner of a Formula One Grand Prix. He could hear cheers through the radio from his pit crew, him equally excitedly screaming back. The euphoria of the moment engulfed him, but as he slowed his car to a stop in the pit lane, his mind was consumed by one thought: he had to find you.

In the midst of the chaos and celebration, Lando’s heart raced with anticipation as he tore off his helmet and looked towards the crowd of people waiting for him. He spotted you in the crowd quite quickly, your eyes filled with tears of joy and excitement. He didn’t hesitate to make his way to you, embracing you and lifting you off of your feet and over the barrier that separated you.

"I did it! I finally fucking did it!" Lando whispered, his voice trembling with exhilaration as he buried his head into your shoulder.

Your smile was bigger than he thought he had ever seen before as one of your hands gently played with the curls in his hair. “I knew you could do it, Lan. I’m so so proud of you,” you whispered back, your words filled with unbridled happiness as you gently rocked you both back and forth on the spot. You placed a kiss to the side of his head as you felt his tears soak through your shirt. You didn’t care, though.

In that moment, amidst the chaos of victory, the blaring of the engines, and the cheers of the crowd, you and Lando found solace in each other's arms. Your love had weathered the turbulent journey of a competitive racing world, and now, in the exhilarating embrace of a triumphant win, you both knew (or more proved to those around you) that you were destined to conquer any challenge together.

As you stood together, surrounded by the intoxicating scent of victory and the warmth of love, Lando realised that this moment was not just about his first win; it was about sharing it with the person who had been his unwavering support for years, his pillar of strength, and (by far) his biggest fan.

“Am I even allowed to be over the barrier?” You inquired quietly as Lando stayed attached to you.

“I don’t know… or care.”

“Well, put me back over, you have to hug the rest of your team and go do your interviews.”

He groaned. Very dramatically. “I don’t want to, I want to stay with you.”

“I’ll be here when you get back, darling.” You looked at him as he sighed before lifting you back over, placing a long kiss to your lips and celebrating with his team before doing his interview. The second he was done with all the podium and media obligations, though, he was dragging you back to the hotel, wanting to cuddle before you all went out to party in the evening.

Once inside the hotel room, you kissed him. His arms travelled swiftly back to your waist, guiding you backwards as he kissed back, you soon feeling your back touch the door as he crowded you against it. You deepened the kiss, hearing him groan softly as he pressed his body closer to you. His hands started to snake under your McLaren polo that you had “borrowed” from him the day previous, placing themselves on your bare waist. Your hands were in his hair, gently tugging at the curls every so often, making him let out quiet but obscene noises as you kissed. He then started moving you again, this time towards the bed.

“Are you going to sit there and continue to eye fuck me, Lando?” You asked as you adjusted the bottom of the dress that you had just changed into for the party.

He leant his head back on the wall behind the bed. “I can't help it. You look amazing.”

You chuckled, walking over to him and placing a kiss on his forehead. He responded by pulling you onto his lap. You looked at him, seeing the familiar look in his eyes. “Don't start this again, Lan.”

“Why?”

“We have a party to go to. Wait until later.”

He sighed, pulling you closer into a hug. “You're the most beautiful person in the world, you know?”

The party went as normal. You and Lando both didn't drink much but everyone else did. As usual, there was a lot of chaos caused - mostly by Max, Checo and Daniel, you were convinced that Charles would end up with alcohol poisoning with the amount that he and Lewis drank together, and Logan, Oscar and Fred almost burnt the place down.

Everything seemed (almost) perfect as you laid in bed, in your boyfriend's arms, having just celebrated his first win. Neither of you were asleep yet. Lando could tell because your breathing pattern was different when you slept. Whilst running his hand through your hair, he took in the atmosphere. The way that you softened into his embrace, the little snores you did when you slept, every little thing you did reminded him of how much he loved you.

“Marry me.”

“What?” You said, head instantly snapping up towards your boyfriend.

He was already looking at you. “Marry me.”

You sat up, him leaning over to switch the bedside lamp on. He returned to look at you, holding a ring in his hand. You were dumbfounded. “Lan.”

He looked into your eyes, placing his forehead against yours before beginning to speak, softly. “I don't want you to think this was the spur of the moment. This sounds silly but I've had this ring for like a year and a half. I've just been waiting for the right moment. And this feels like the right moment. If you don't want to, or feel it's too soon, I completely get it. But if you do, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” He smiled, genuinely, watching as a tear fell down your face. “Please don't cry, it's okay.”

“Yes.”

“Yes as in yes you'll Marry me or you think it's too soon?” He asked, voice soft as he felt a glimmer of hope in his chest

“Yes, as in yes, I will marry you, Lando.”

Now everything was perfect.

Note

You find yourself responsible for a group of 20 four year olds for a day. Who would you choose to help you manage to get through the day?

I'll do you one better - let's list everyone currently on the grid and whether they're a yay or nay for this situation

Valtteri Bottas ✖️ - absolutely not. Every toddler I've ever met seems to be allergic to wearing pants/clothes, so I don't need Valtteri to encourage that kind of behaviour.

Zhou Guanyu ✔️ - Absolute yes. He would be super patient with them. Also, by the end of the day all of the kids end up wearing Prada.

Yuki Tsunoda ✔️ - Yes but also no. He would somehow corral them into the kitchen to help him make treats. (Messy) disaster would ensue.

Daniel Ricciardo ✖️ - No. He's a toddler himself and would be zero help. Would leave halfway thorough the day and somehow Liam Lawson will be coerced to replace him.

Esteban Ocon ✔️ - somehow he would convince all the toddlers to terrorize Pierre

Pierre Gasly ✖️ - he would get overwhelmed by the first hour and start googling "vasectomy - does it work 100%?" halfway through the day

Fernando Alonso ✖️- they're not toddlers, they're minions. His minions. Absolutely terrifying prospect, no thank you.

Lance Stroll ✔️ - by the end of the day the kiddos know how to spell "NDA" and "hostile takeover". His dad approves

Charles Leclerc ✔️ - his spirit is already broken by Ferrari. 20 hyper four year olds waging psychological warfare on him? Nothing compared to that.

Carlos Sainz ✖️ - he would spend most of his day on the verge of a panic attack while texting his dad "ARE YOU SURE NONE OF THESE ARE MINE??????"

Kevin Magnussen ✔️- Daddy Kevin to the rescue. He would absolutely love every minute of it

Nico Hulkenberg ✔️ - He would help Daddy Kevin. Dream duo. But also would teach swear words to the kiddos

Lando Norris ✔️- Man would have a field day. Would be absolutely pooped by the end of the day but would love every minute of it.

Oscar Piastri ✖️ - Would hyperventilate through the whole thing, then panic, cry and then cause the kids to cry. 10/10 would not recommend

Lewis Hamilton ✖️ - no. Only because I would fold like a wet napkin upon seeing him with kids. The baby fever 😭

George Russell ✔️ - somehow manages to teach the whole group the ins and out of Microsoft 365. Terrifying prospect yet somehow endearing?

Max Verstappen ✔️ - he's already surrounded by toddlers irl. What's 20 more?

Sergio Perez ✖️ - he would take one look at the room full of kids, panic and call 5 nannies to replace him

Alex Albon ✔️ - takes the kids to his home aka "The Albon petting zoo" for the day. They love it.

Logan Sargeant ✔️ - would teach the kids how to play juice pong, which is exactly like beer pong but with juice. By the end of the day all 20 kids know the words to the Pledge of Allegiance. None of the toddlers are American.
