Summary

Charles Leclerc did not expect stumbling into Max Verstappen at work - and neither did she expect having to work with him. Between rekindling her friendship with Pierre, keeping up with her family, and trying to do her best at work, she's got no time for the four-time champion.

But Max Verstappen never gave up easily, and he'll manage to find out why his childhood rival left racing behind. And as if that weren't enough, Formula One does not leave respite, and Max has to consider his career moves extremely carefully.

Summary

Oscar Piastri is severed— every day when he goes to work, he turns into a version of himself with no memory of his life outside it and every night, he comes home with no recollection of work that day. It’s better for him, he thinks. Keeps him focused, and brings him a stable income to support his girlfriend while she’s in graduate school. When a desperate-eyed man shows up at his doorstep and tells him they’re coworkers, he doesn’t know what to make of it.

Oscar P. is one of the finest workers at the FIA. He puts his head down and gets his work done day after day without caring too much about the rewards that come with it. So what if his entire life is work? He feels at peace knowing that he’s doing something that’s going to change the world. That is, until he finds something in the hallways that throws his faith in the FIA into question.

Relationships: Minor or Background Relationship(s), Lando Norris/Daniel Ricciardo, Pierre Gasly/Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris/Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen Characters: Lando Norris, Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton (Formula 1 RPF), Charles Leclerc, Daniel Ricciardo, Pierre Gasly, Max Verstappen Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Post-Apocalypse, Blood and Violence, Injury, Killing to Survive, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Found Family, Full warning inside

Summary

Daniel drags Charles behind him, holding up his gun. He doesn’t say anything. He doesn’t have to.

They get the message pretty clear. Their weapons — large hunting knives, a machete, a sharpened wood axe— are not exactly conducive for throwing. If one of them goes for the crossbow on their fallen comrade, Daniel will kill them.

He won’t want to, because even after everything they’ve been through, Daniel doesn’t like to pull that trigger, but he’ll do it.

To protect them, he will.

saw an elderly woman walking around with a tote bag whose design were the four AO3 fic category squares and she very excitedly asked if i was a reader or a writer bcs nobody else at the con had recognized it, and after telling her that i've been writing fic since fanfic.net, she solemnly nodded and explained that she'd been reading fic since "the days of personal websites" but that she only started writing fanfic when she was 47 and oh my god when i tell you that i genuinely teared up on the spot!!!!! like!!! HELL YEAH???? LITERALLY NEVER TOO OLD TO START WRITING. NEVER TOO OLD TO WRITE AND SHARE YOUR FIC.

her enthusiastic "i'm a very nice and bubbly person, i swear! but i love writing angst and major character death :)" nearly took me the fuck out.

icon. legend. diva. i wish her nothing but a kajillion million comments and kudos. i hope her fic updates crash AO3. i hope she knows i'm promoting her to my personal patron saint of AO3.

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

“Luca.” Niki swallowed. “Can we talk?”

Luca's face creased. “You're not leaving Ferrari?”

Niki laughed weakly. “No, not that. It's not bad. It's... it's me. There is something I need to tell you. Well, and ask you.”

“Go on.” Luca's voice was soft as he leaned in. “Whatever you want to tell me, and ask me, I'm ready for it.”

I bet you're bloody not, Niki thought, and took a deep breath.

__

Niki Lauda has just won his first race for Ferrari, under the leadership of his new best friend and team principal Luca Montezemolo. He may be the luckiest man in the world. But no one ever taught him how to be a man, and maybe the best man he knows is the right man for the job.

He's always thought of such things as happening behind closed doors, but now it's been dragged out into the light. And yet, he can't keep himself from noticing how relaxed Alain looks in the photo. Maybe more so than Ayrton has ever seen him.

Ayrton forces himself to take a breath. No reason to be so thrown by this, he tells himself. This has nothing to do with him really, there's no reason for him to feel so - exposed.

Or; Ayrton Senna speed runs a gender crisis.

When Nico Rosberg moves to London to finish a business degree and start a new life on her terms only, she isn't expecting her flatmate to be the unfairly attractive and infuriatingly friendly Seb Vettel. Nor is she expecting for Seb to both find her attractive and be okay with the fact that Nico still maybe has a thing for her estranged childhood best friend.

“That’s…,” Lando started, his voice stale and empty, hugging his camera backpack to his chest. “Insurance, huh?”

“Insurance, yeah. That stuff we pay monthly so that in case someone burns down our apartment, we receive money to replace all our belongings and pay for the renovation so our landlord doesn’t sue us,” Charles answered and stepped into the elevator, pressing the button that would take them to the ground level. With a challenging look, he met Lando’s eyes. “Sounds familiar?”

Lando coughed, his eyes watering from how hard it racked his body. “What happens if, hypothetically, we don’t have insurance? Just hypothetically.”

After Lando accidentally burned down their shared apartment, Charles and Lando move in with Lando's boyfriend and his roommate. His very hot roommate.
