Parallel lines have

a lot in common,

but they never meet.

You might think that's sad

meets

and then

Which is pretty sad too.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;

Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral — He was my friend, faithful and just to me:

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

You all did see that

On the Lupercal,

Caesar did thrice refuse

Was this ambition?

I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,

But here I am to speak what I do know.

What cause withholds you then,

Been doing some reading and now I'm thinking about a secret agent rosquez au

One where Vale was the greatest agent they've ever had and then Marc comes in and starts outshining everyone. At first they're fine, they fuck a lot, vale is kind of obsessed with this crazy bastard who throws himself headfirst into missions without a care. Marc is in love. Valentino pretends he doesn't see it. Marc is mainly paired with Pedrosa anyway, but he unofficially makes a name for himself amongst the best of their time - Rossi, Pedrosa, Lorenzo, Dovi, Stoner, and Marquez.

2015 happens and they're on a mission. It gets fucked up and vale blames maec for it. Cue catastrophic fallout. Marc gets benched for a mission but the FIM (spy agency) clears him. However, the damage is done. Most of Marc's colleagues now don't trust him and he goes through hell. The FIM start sending him on undercover solo missions from there - Marc always volunteers but they're dangerous!! (Self-destructive king). Dovi and Dani are worried, really worried. They try to bring it up to the heads of their departments, no luck. They try to talk to Valentino. Because they know why Marc is doing this.

Santi is Marc's tech chief btw and he's all over the place, trying so hard not to get Marc killed.

2020- Marc is on a solo mission and then all his comms go down. He goes missing for months. It's a disaster. Everyone suddenly realises that: fuck there have not been enough safety precautions for him and we've really, really fucked this up. Marc is presumed dead.

Alex has joined the agency now, he's in tech and comms, alongside Luca. Pecco is a field agent. Vale is on the brink of retirement, and the other OGs are too. They're all kind of going through it. Vale is trying to act high and mighty but also a bit worried too, he doesn't wish death on anyone after all, certainly not out on the field. Alex is of course, in bits, very bad self-care and hence throwing himself into work, much to Luca's worry.

3 months later, Marc walks back into HQ, half dead, underfed, battered and bruised, arm hanging limply by his side. I'll let you imagine what he's been through, or I can do another post.

Cue three years of rehab, Marc being benched in training recruits or it or admin. He hates it. Valentino retires officially, goes into specialist training and makes the vr46 sub tactical group a thing.

2025, special missions comes up, marc is assigned the case - having finally been declared fit for field work last year and absolutely smashing all expectations. They know it'll be a hard case. They need the best. Its undercover so who do they send? Thats right, bring Valentino out of retirement.

Maybe even a fake marriage. ...

And that's the story friends.

Happy Friday.

You’re laughing? Red Bull Racing are about to lose their 4x WDC to a rival team in the midst of their performance dropping and have to pin all their future hopes on an upcoming 17-year-old AGAIN! and your laughing?

man I try and take a break from social media for a bit and can I just say what in the world—

1. Oscar gets a modeling contract (???) (my theory is that he and Lando were playing strip poker again and he lost a bet. This is the only explanation I will accept)

2. CHRISTIAN HORNER GETS FIRED (if they’re doing management changes at Red Bull please let Seb take Helmut’s job please I need this 🙏😭) (also Max to Mercedes rumors are scaring me more than ever, because this honestly feels like a bit of a desperate move from Red Bull)

3. Luca does a photoshoot for Hawkers that I am definitely feeling very very normal about (I lie)
