#brown grids

[notrobinsomethingworse]

Since I work at a power station now, new headcanon that the Bats use Gothams Power station as a makeshift jungle gym.

Dicks climbing around without a grapple scaring the fuck outa Bruce when he flips himself off the top turbine hall and barely catching himself on one of the railings.

Tim, Staph and Cass are playing a complicated game of hide and seek/ tag. Trying to minimise the use of their grapples to not destroy the place. Cass is winning by a margin. She’s now just trying to scare the shit outa both of them.

Damian is checking all the nests scattered around the site. Scattering feed and fixing nests that have been destroyed. (Much to the dismay of every operator who just wants them gone. Unfortunately for them, the last engineer who kicked a nest had both his legs broken shortly afterwards. Everybody knew who did it. Nobody wants to talk about it).

Both Duke and Jason have graduated form understanding how the plant works and instead are arguing about how to make it better/fun things to do. Topics include: using leftover heat to heat homes in crime alley, including some sort of gas capture system, making shit hotter, and opening the turbine to “watch it spin nothing will happen B shut the fuck up”.

If you have at least a bit of time (uni sucks poor you) can you update the chart? Give us some crumbs were starving😭

I'll actually give you a chart I haven't done before exploring the older grid (late 90s-early 00s) and how they affect the current one within the TLLC verse!

As you can see there will be plenty of drama and I made up some really insane parent-child relationships but they'll be fun I promise! The big difference between the 00s grid Vs the 20s grid is that the old grid's omegas tried to hide their pregnancies by all means, the sport was still extremely biased against omegas especially ones with children, constantly going on about how they should quit and focus on being a mother and a housewife which none of them really cared about; in that regard it was more cutthroat.

Maybe the most openly known mother-child relationship is between Jacques Villeneuve and Lance; he is considered the most annoying omega of the 00s and he didn't shy away from the fact that he married and had babies with a millionaire who bought him everything he wanted, and Lance inherited a bit of his bratty princessy attitude although far more muted as he grew insecure of having a world champion mother.

David Coulthard was the main menace alpha before the role was taken up by Alonso, having been in a relationship with Mika before Michael snatched him away from him after facilitating Jos knocking Mika up to try to get him out of the grid. Yeah, Michael was trying to take out his rival any way he could and both of them already being mothers, knew just what a hindrance an unplanned pregnancy could be. Mika had a short and fighting-prone marriage with Jos before he returned to his first husband, Keke Rosberg, whom he already had Nico with.

Michael himself already had Sebastian as his son from Martin Brundle, but their marriage was brief as Michael wanted more than what he called a weak alpha, but he cherished their son that came out of it. He once again flirted with and had a secret child with another teammate in Rubens, who was proving as more of a challenge, which Michael liked, but he kept his pregnancy and their son Eduardo completely out of public knowledge, leaving Rubens to raise Eduardo almost fully by himself. A child he did publicly claim though came from David, who he promptly married as well before their very nasty divorce. He adored his children though from David, the only ones he publicly took responsibility over, which will later spark controversy as Eduardo and Mick will fall in love, not knowing that they share a mother.... I know very GoT, but Rubens' method of keeping them from marrying is problematic in his own way as when Mick gets knocked up by a mystery alpha, Rubens immediately marries him before his son could, claiming it's a favour for his mother... who he also despised after ditching him for David who he cheated on too with the young Alonso and had a son with him as well he couldn't take responsibility over in public. David found comfort after their divorce in Michael's little brother, Ralph, another omega, although less scheming, who he is still married to and has children with.

Nico does not like his half little brother in Max but Max doesn't really care, he was raised almost solely by his father who married Kimi Raikkonen at the end of the 00s, and had plenty of other half siblings from that marriage. Kimi himself had plenty of children from different alphas, first from his manager, then from Coulthard, then of course from Alonso, and Jos. I did not include all their children in the chart only the ones relevant to the grid!

The villa was quieter now. The laughter had faded, the last of the champagne flutes collected and rinsed, the glow of the party replaced by the golden hush of morning. But even with the sun up, the warmth of the previous night clung to the space.

(Y/n) stretched as she padded barefoot through the open hall, her robe brushing softly over the tile floor. In the kitchen, she found Zak pouring himself a second espresso.

"You’re up early," he greeted warmly.

"So are you," she smiled, hand instinctively resting over her belly.

He nodded toward it. "They keeping you up, or just the headlines?"

"Both. And my back. And Lando snoring."

Zak chuckled. "He does that?"

"Like a lawnmower," she said, grinning. "But a very endearing one."

Zak sipped his coffee. "You handled all of it yesterday... with real grace."

(Y/n) glanced toward the garden, where remnants of the party still clung to the chairs and lanterns. "I didn’t think it would happen this fast. But I guess I was wrong."

He offered a more serious look. "This sport doesn’t slow down for anyone. But you’re part of this family now. That means we take care of our own. If you need anything, discretion, security, help, you let us know."

She blinked, touched. "Thank you, Zak. Really."

He gave her a quiet nod and excused himself, leaving her alone with her thoughts and the soft fluttering movements of the twins within.

Outside, the cameras were already beginning to stir. Media vans, long lenses, voices echoing from beyond the villa's entrance.

Lando rejoined her later that morning, a box of pastries in one hand, the other reaching to press against the small of her back.

"We’re officially the headline couple," he murmured. "You okay with that?"

She leaned into his touch. "It was bound to happen. Better now than later."

He hesitated before adding, "Magui watched the race."

(Y/n) raised a brow. "How do you know?"

"I got a message. Just dots. No words. But... it was her."

A silence hung between them. Then (Y/n) exhaled and looked him square in the eye. "You ready for all of that too? The ghosts, the drama, the past?"

Lando didn’t waver. "I chose you. All of this. I’m not looking back."

She kissed him then, soft and sure, just as the twins gave a small kick between them.

Later, back in the room, as the windows flooded with morning light, (Y/n) sat at the vanity brushing her hair. Her phone buzzed. Carla.

No reply. Just a photo attachment: her on the grid, bump showing, Lando glancing at her like she was the only person there.

Then the text followed: Mother of the Grid. You're trending in Brazil.

She smiled. She hadn't planned on this life. But now that it was here, messy, public, joyful, terrifying,  she wouldn't change a thing.

To be continued... 🧡

📝 Note from the Author: Fourth post for today!! Yes, still scheduled. Yes, still somehow posting while drowning in schoolwork 🥲 Someone please remind me why I thought taking advanced electives and writing a multi-part AU at the same time was a good idea?? Anyway—

Thank you all for still reading this mess of a beautifully chaotic timeline 😭🧡 I’m seriously overwhelmed by your love for this AU.

✨ Quick Recap of What Just Went Down™️ ✨ – (Y/n) vs. Lando's snoring habits 😌💤 – Zak Brown making me cry with father-in-law energy 🥹 – Lando showing up with pastries like a man who knows peace offerings 🍩 – Magui... sending ominous dot messages like she’s in Morse code 👀 – Twins kicking just in time for dramatic emotional punctuation 🍼🍼 – Brazil officially adopting (Y/n) as their own 🇧🇷 #MotherOfTheGrid

Still more to come. The chaos is not done. Neither is the fluff. Or the drama. Stay tuned.

With love, me 🧡

If I had a nickel for every time a Sherlock Holmes adaptation got gene dominance of blue and brown eyes wrong, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

I'm glad everyone in the comments agrees that a brown out is like an electrical blackout but less severe.

I've only ever heard the first choice referred to as a "code brown", and the second one is a straight up black out. Never heard of anyone being "brown-out drunk" lol

LITTLE SISTERS ARE UNKNOWINGLY GREAT MATCH MAKERS - KA12

summary : Girlhood is meeting a younger girl in a bathroom and giving her a friendship bracelet. You happen to get lucky when that little girls introduces you to the youngest driver on the grid.

listen up : no warnings!

words : 1212 (wow that’s crazy)

⋆｡‧˚⋆

“I like your dress.” A little girl says, her voice confident and clearly italian. I smile at her in the mirror before pulling my hands away from the sink and grabbing a towel.

I turn fully to her, her eyes big and brown, looking up at me in awe, “Thank you!” I throw the towel away as she smiles softly, “I like your headphones.” She's in white pants and a black jacket, the bright pink headphones around her neck.

She looks down when I say it, “Bit stupid.”

I shake my head as she backs away from the sink, “Never!” I reach into my purse and pull out my little earplugs that are in a clear case. She smiles at this.

I turn back to the mirror again, fixing my hair and applying my lipgloss. My eyes wander to the small girl who still resides next to me, looking at herself in the mirror and swiping on chapstick.

“You’re a mercedes fan?” I say.

She nods eagerly, pushing her lip balm into her pocket and touching her hat. “It’s my brother's team!” I smile at her enthusiasm, “Are you?”

“Not particularly…” As in George Rusell makes me uneasy and Kimi Antonelli is making me feel unaccomplished since we’re the same age. “I root for Mclaren.”

She seems a bit sad at this, but nods nonetheless. “Do you want a friendship bracelet?” I ask just before she goes to leave. She’s absolutely adorable and definitely a new friend (one i’ll probably never see again) but still, I take one of the beaded bracelets off my wrist and hand it to her.

It says, VROOM, with a tiny beaded F1 car that took me a whole hour to figure out how to make. “Wow!”

I stand up straighter, “I’m Y/n!”

“Maggie.” She says her name quick, her eyes unmoving from her wrist, the bracelet a tad too big. She finally looks up at me again when we both go to leave, “Thank you!”

We walk into the public area, the paddock not crowded for the first time all day, “I’m glad you like it.” I’m too focused on her little eyes lighting up to notice that a guy is staring at us. He pushes off the wall, walking towards us in a far too familiar way. Holy shit.

Maggie says something in italian.

She says something in italian directed to the guy.

The guy who also happens to be Kimi Antonelli.

Kimi smiles at the girl as it all dawns on me. Oh fuck. When she said, ‘it’s my brother's team’ she didn’t just mean that he supports them. She meant he drives for them!

He tugs at her hat so it goes over her eyes as she groans and elbows him, “No wonder you took so long, making friends?”

Maggie nods, saying something in Italian and raising her wrist so Kimi can see her bracelet. He nods, probably not interested but he smiles at her.

Then he smiles at me.

“Did you make it yourself?” His accent is smooth yet his demeanor is still boyish.

I laugh awkwardly, “Uh yeah, sorry I didn’t make any Mercedes ones.” He shrugs it off.

“Black and teal gets boring!” Maggie cuts in, still admiring her bracelet under Kimi’s arm, “I like pink!” Kimi and I look at eachother, smiling at the younger girls' excitement. She clearly gets distracted when she sees an older woman, promptly running away and yelling, “Mama!”

Kimi laughs, not making a move to leave, “I think this is the most interesting thing that’s happened to her all weekend.” He slips his hands into his pockets, smiling at me. Christ he’s cute.

“Honestly she’s made my weekend.” I swipe a piece of hair from my face, “I’m sure she was more excited about her brother’s big F1 debut than a bracelet.” I scoff as he laughs.

“I don’t know…” He looks at Maggie, her hair bobbing up and down as she shows their mom her new jewelry. “Show her pink and she sort of gravitates…”

I smile, “Is she an Alpine fan then?”

He shakes his head, still smiling shyly, “I won’t let that happen.” When I don’t say anything, he sways, “Are you? An Alpine fan, I mean…”

I shake my head, looking down at my light pink dress, “Nah… just hate wearing bright orange.”

He nods, “Oh! I’m Kimi, by the way.”

I hold back a grin, “I know… I’m Y/n.”

“Nice to meet you, Y/n.” I think my heart skips a beat when he says my name, “Thanks for being so nice to my sister.”

“No problem, she’s adorable!”

Maggie comes up to us again, “Could you teach me how to make one?”

Kimi raises a brow, “I’m pretty sure she doesn’t just carry beads with her, Mag.”

I blush, “Actually… I do, and I can totally try!”

She runs off again, leaving Kimi and I, “She’s really sweet, though she might not want my help with the beads… I made one and gave up like two hours in.”

He laughs, “She referred to you as ‘pretty girl’ when she told me you gave her a bracelet, so I'm pretty sure she already loves you no matter if you can recreate it or not.” I laugh a bit when he says this, my cheeks are probably already red.

“I remember being like that with every older girl I encountered.” It’s true, every little girl I see I just want to cry because of how much I loved being that young.

“Yeah well she’s got good instincts.” his tongue runs over his bottom lip, “How old are you?”

“Eighteen… you know, my mom found out you were driving this year and made me get a job!” He’s laughing harder now.

“Shit… I'm sorry. What were you forced into?”

“Well, it’s not bad.” I shrug, “I intern at McLaren actually. My mom’s a driver manager.” His eyebrows go up, nodding at my words.

“So you get to travel with the drivers?” He looks almost… hopeful.

I nod, “Basically. I want to work in F1 media so it’s hopefully getting me used to my future.”

“That’s really cool.” Honestly if it were any other teenage boy saying that, I wouldn’t believe him. But something about Kimi Antonelli tells me that he doesn’t half ass anything, even his words.

“Yeah…” I bite my lip, swaying on my feet.

“Hey! Um before you go…” He pulls out his phone, “Can I get your number?” I raise a brow instinctively, “For Maggie!” I try not to frown, taking the phone and typing in my number and name, “And maybe… for dinner sometime? I fly to China right after this.”

I bite back a smile, “That’d be fun, I go straight there after the race.”

I think he’s… blushing? “Right. Well uh… maybe I can convince you that black and teal are right for you.”

“If you take me out and try to convert me from papaya, I will never let you forget it!” I threaten as he starts walking away backwards.

“Yeah I'm planning on that, pretty.” He bites his lip, nodding and leaving. I roll my eyes and walk away, my cheeks pink and my smile wide.
