I showed my mama this exact picture and asked what she would think if I brought them home, here’s the results:

Max: no he’s too old for you

Lance: hmm he’s nice looking

Checo and Fernando: they’re too old for you, like your fathers age (my dad is 67)

Lewis: *silence* eh

George: oooo, I like him

Charles: oh even better he’s cute

Carlos: OH WHO IS THAT??? The hair!! Oh look at those lips!! Very nice!! I’d like to come home to him!!

Pierre: oh he looks fun! He’d be fun to date

Esteban: oh he has a sultry look to him, look at those eyes!

Kevin: he has a German look. meh.

Nico: *silence* too old

Daniel: *silence* *squints* *silence*

Yuki: awwww he looks like a little puppy, he’s adorable

Zhou: I’m not into Asians

Val: he’s too old, but I like the mustache

Alex: oh he looks like he’d be a fun son-in-law

Lando, Oscar and Logan: they’re too full of themselves. Look at that ego, they’re all the same I do not like them.

hi GT!

Lionheart had me the moment you kicked it off with “it’s a nice day to start again.” Might i ask why you chose that particular line?

And, if you havent already answered to this emoji:

❄️

P.s: you have my eternal gratitude for creating the most brilliant piece of writing i’ll ever read. I shout about it from the rooftops, share it on my socials, requested my spouse to read it so we may discuss it together (in lieu of a present for my 30th birthday), et cetera.

I see from your URL you are a fellow lad of taste.

There's a couple things going on in the epigraph for Book 1. On one level, it's a lyric from the first muggle song I picture Draco listening to on his walkman at the end of the book, so there's a cute full-circle thing there. The second layer is the theme of change and redemption, which, in Lionheart, doesn't so much come from major moments or self-sacrifice, but from the slow, grueling, everyday work of living, and living better. It's a nice day to start again because every day is. You always have the opportunity to start making better choices, no matter what lies behind you. That's the thesis of any Draco redemption arc, right? You have to imagine that he could have chosen to be better.

And then thirdly, there's the audacity of doing a full Hogwarts canon rewrite, a good 30 years after the original books came out, millions upon millions of words of fanfic later, and basically asking everyone to read the same story they did the first time around, only different. So it's a kind of winking entreaty. It's saying to readers, many of whom are understandably wary of doing it over, zeroing out the characters to starting positions, and starting from the beginning with 11-year-olds all over again. It's going: "hey. That was fun, right? Why not do it again?"

Lewis on 12.12.21:

“Was I robbed? Obviously. I mean, you know the story. But I think what was really beautiful in that moment, which I take away from it, was my dad was with me. And we’d gone through this huge roller coaster of life together, ups and downs. And the day that it hurt the most, he was there, and the way he raised me was to always stand up, keep your head high. And I obviously went to congratulate Max, and not realising the impact that that would have, but also I was really conscious of, like, there’s a mini-me watching. This is the defining moment of my life. And I think it really was. I felt it. I didn’t know how it was going to be perceived. I hadn’t, like, visualised it. But I was definitely conscious of: these next 50 metres that I walk is where I fall to the ground and die – or I rise up.”

I ask him if he fixates on that race.

“If I see a clip of it, I still feel it,” he says. “But I’m at peace with it.”

LEWISSSSSSS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Pairing: lando/Oscar

High school or uni au where lando has a reputation of being a slacker and Oscar is assigned to be his tutor. Oscar quickly realizes it’s not an effort issue, but rather Lando is struggling with undiagnosed dyslexia. Lando thinks he’s just dumb and plays into the idk attitude, but Oscar helps him learn to accept help and builds his confidence (and maybe they fall in love hehe)
