#thank you ts friends

[wri0thesley]

this is a horrible horrible thought, but yanderes are terrifying, tighnari seems to be intelligent enough to do this, and the idea just hit me so hard i'm itching to share it.

what about yandere tighnari who knows that you adore and care for collei a lot because of her past, and uses this knowledge to his advantage?

the poor girl is attached to you, always following you around because you're her only one friend in the village. maybe she even holds you as high as amber in her heart, because you helped her a lot after her traumatic past. one can say that she's very dependant on you - when you're sad, she's sad and her condition worsen as a result, but when you're happy she's all smiles and is visibly brighter than normal. you know it's unhealthy, and you've tried to fix this relationship with the sweet girl, but it's such a complicated matter and you always falter whenever you see collei's eyes looking up at you in fear, practically screaming 'please don't leave me please'.

tighnari is perceptive and he sees this dynamics, because of course he does. your kind nature is one of the reasons he's so mesmerized with you, one of the reasons why his mind is filled with the thoughts of having you all to himself, of you waiting for him back home after his patrols, safe and sound and making a home for yourself in his abode. and the same kindness will be your downfall.

he puts this idea in collei's head about you and him, the possibility of the two of you being in love. pretend he slipped up and is embarrassed by accidentally showcasing his fondness towards you. leaves mementos of you around his house while collei is around and watches as she connects the dots. and like most teenagers who has been deprived of love, it's easy for tighnari to mold a vision in his apprentice's head; of you and him and collei together, happily laughing around a dinner table: a perfect, happy little family. wouldn't that be nice? and tighnari, her mentor, is such a smart and caring man! everyone likes him! you must like him too, right?

the moment collei responds positively to the idea, he starts to send her on these little excursions.

"i found this really nice bunch of flowers on my patrol today - could you help me give it to [name]?"

"oh, i believe [name] should have gathered the last few ingredients needed for your medicine. could you help them bring the herbs back, collei?"

"i was given a few fresh hunt today, but i don't think i can finish it all. do you want to come over tonight for dinner along with [name]? it would be my pleasure - could you help me to invite them, too? thank you."

and how could you refuse? collei looks so over the moon everytime you show any sort of positive gesture towards her mentor's advances. she has never looked so happier sitting on the dinner table as the fox-eared hybrid reached over to wipe a small crumb on the side of your lips. in her head, your instinctive retreat is a sign of shyness, not uncomfortableness.

no, you could never refuse him, because even though you don't love tighnari, you do have a special familial bond with collei, and you think she deserves this happiness more than you do.

and when you willingly seek him out to ask him if he wants to have a picnic with you and collei, tighnari smiles and nods.

this probably has a thousand mistakes i'm sorry i just needed to get this brainrot out of my system hhhhh also hello fellow author, we've never talked before but i absolutely love your work <3

YES. i always love this kind of scenario; the same levels as 'albedo luring you in with klee' and 'baizhu exploiting your love for qiqi', but worse - because collei is older, yes, but . . . her life has been difficult. you're incredibly grateful she has shared some of her secrets with you; you want nothing more than to support her! but you see how she struggles sometimes, and the idea that something you do might exacerbate those struggles instead of helping her--

you try and convince yourself that this, yes, is fine. you try and concentrate on all of the things about tighnari that are admirable - you push back thoughts that all of this has slotted into place in a way that's strangely convenient for him. he'd never be so manipulative, surely?

(even if he were capable of it . . . ah. you couldn't say anything to collei; she's been manipulated enough in her life already, having something like this suggested might break her. you simply smile).

oh, and he makes his biggest advances when she's around, too - leans in for a kiss at said picnic, because he knows you won't want to make collei uncomfortable by outright rejecting him. takes your hand, rubs his thumb over your wrist in a show of small intimacy that you don't fail to notice makes collei grin bright and wide at you. everything is going well for her! she's gotten herself a family, in a way - she's so terribly happy--

asks you to make it official when she's in earshot. mentions moving into his hut, instead of keeping your own - after all, you spend so much time together, and you could keep a better eye on collei if you were with him . . .

by the time things have gotten that far, saying 'no' to any of his politely and earnestly worded requests would be more trouble than its worth. so you smile and nod and hope that, if nothing else (if you're unhappy and you don't really love him the way collei thinks you do) - collei will be happier for the stability the two of you provide.

happy birthday vilma!!!!! <3

[menelaiad]

can I prompt you to talk about Menelaus sparing Helen I'm just like :chinhands: about everything u say about the house of atreus

hey, if you're willing to listen, i'm more than happy to talk - thank you!

so. again. we got Big Three versions.

menelaus says 'guys it's chill i'll kill her at home. let's all cool our jets' (this is the version in euripides)

menelaus goes to kill her himself. helen shows her boobs. menelaus suddenly very chill (this is also implied by euripides)

menelaus gets men to kill her. helen shows her boobs. men suddenly very chill (stesichorus)

CAN YOU GUESS WHICH TWO I DESPISE? no. fr. the last two (the boob two) are far too dependent on helen being vain. and helen .... almost not feeling any guilt or shame from what's happened. and we know that's not true from the iliad. these two, to me, are classic. THIS IS JUST HOW HOT HELEN WAS propaganda. cause yknow. ur a greek/roman/ancient dude and you hear that helen of sparta showed you her boobs like 'damn bro i wouldn't kill her either ahahahaha pass the wine, maximus'.

but helen was never vain. she was never arrogant. she was confident and self-assured. but it's pretty much everyone AROUND helen that comments on her beauty and stuff. she never really does herself? which is another fascinating element of her character tbh. so her doing THIS as a means to be spared? doesn't suit me. do i think helen wanted to die/was willing to die? no. but i think she would have gone about pleading for her life a different way, y'know? also i hate the whole 'her tits got her into this mess they'll get her out of it' like shut UP. menelaus is not 12. he's fucking 60 odd at this point. he is tired. he is wounded. he is so beyond mentally well. give him some respect. he wouldn't have been blind sided by this.

but i don't think menelaus EVER planned to kill her. i can accept euripudes' version cause i think there would have been a lot of greek men that would have wanted to see helen dead. it makes sense yknow? they dont see the full narrative. the big picture. as far as they're concerned helen ran away. loads of people died. and now she's gonna get away with it. they're not narrative aware enough to see all the cogs of fate and the gods and all this. so i can respect that some greeks would have wanted her to suffer and menelaus would have risked a fuckin riot if he outright said 'nah lads she's fine lets crack on' so the whole 'wait til we get home' narrative is a good way for him to save time. to buy him and helen some time to come up with a plan, a story. to hear each other out. to work through stuff. they don't get back to sparta for like. 10 more years. they can EASILY have come up with some reason why she's not been killed yet. or why he's not gonna go through with it/why it's all worked out.

in regards to menelaus never wanting to kill her, i believe that because of how menelaus behaves in the iliad. menelaus is constantly lamenting the deaths of the greeks. the needless death and suffering. how these men are working and sacrificing to get helen back. to bring her HOME. what would killing her do? another senseless death. all the sacrifice for naught because menelaus doesnt get his wife back. he goes back to sparta alone. as if he never even went to fucking troy and tried to get her back?????

and also because menelaus loves her. despite everything he loves her and he never stopped. it's why i really like his portrayal in IOA even if he is a giant ass clown. he's a man desperate to get his wife back. and he's under the impression they're just gonna go to troy and get her back. simple as. two months tops. he's frantic and desperate and willing to try anything to get her back (yo bro kill ur daughter for me kthx). and i don't think that desire to get her back changes. menelaus grows more subdued and quiet. and has less fire. but he's still trying. he goes toe to toe with paris, is willing to take on hektor. menelaus is very much: 'i am dying at troy or i am leaving with my wife' and how is that not love? it's literally. he is going to get her back or die trying.

(also idk how much people value to fall of troy texts that are around but like. menelaus kills deiphobus in those. when dei is with helen. the man is insane in those moments he could easily have took helen out too in his madness. but he doesn't. also also. when he's in the horse and he hears helen, he's said to 'groan' when he remembers her and given the context of the other men weeping and stuff. this is like. a groan of pain. hearing helen's voice after so long and remembering her. HURTS him. he's missed her so much.)

menelaus and helen loved each other. you see it in odyssey 4. the healing they must have gone through in those 10 years. is so admirable and powerful. and they did it because they wanted to. because they were gonna see this out. they were gonna make this work. and even zeus acknowledges it. because he lets menelaus into elysium just to be with helen (his own DAUGHTER) for eternity. even though menelaus has LITERALLY no elysium qualities. not even zeus cant bear to separate these two.

they're just so fucking powerful.

an update

Actually I am still upset a majority of the people in the fandom just ignored my pinned post. Like me posting again isn't me suddenly forgetting or anything, I'm just genuinely trying to carve out a space for myself again in this fandom again but I'm genuinely struggling to do that knowing that a majority (overwhelming amount actually) of people in this fandom continue to stan her and are okay with alienating me and other black and fans of color as a result. Which is ironic given the fact that this series is hailed as extremely diverse in its setting and characters and yet the fandom is still so racist and overwhelming white (or subscribed to white supremacy) that their go-to artist for their playlists for characters is a woman who dated a neo-nazi because "she's an amazing songwriter." I promise you Iko and Cinder would not be streaming (or even give a fuck about) Evermore.

A similar thing happened in the fandom in 2015 when Taylor Swift started feuding with Nicki Minaj because she mistook Nicki's critique on the music industry marginalizing Black female artists as an attack on her. Swifties (and lunartics) reblogged on my dash calling Nicki Minaj a g*r*lla and other antiblack slurs I'm not going to list and that caused me to distance myself from the fandom.

So seeing 7 years later this fandom, with brand new people, who are still Swifties, ignore and pretend Taylor never dated who she did, and then continue to openly stan and love characters who are of said race that were harmed by her, displayed extreme cognitive dissonance and made me lose my fucking mind respectively.

I just don't want anyone in the fandom to look at themselves and have the audacity to call themselves an ally to ANY minority if they GENUINELY continue to stan Taylor Swift at this point. You had an opportunity to openly support a black woman who was hurt by your actions in this fandom and not only did you ignore me, you kept stanning this woman who has, to this day, never addressed or taken accountability for who she dated.

And if you run to that blogger asking her opinion on this, I don't care. At the end of the day, other women of color who continued to ignore TS actions implicitly side with her racism and her racist fans and continue to harm and marginalize black women.

And if you see this post as me "complaining," fuck you.

Thank you to the 2 people of color who reached out to me and talked to me about this. It means so much more than I could put into words and thank you for holding space for me.

Ultimately, I've chosen to stay and continue being active because I refuse to let a fandom overlap ruin my experience while I'm here, and know I can still find and build community here that doesn't interact with TS.

[futurewife]

forever associating you and adrian with the song 'lover' and i just have to say. as a permanent one direction girlie. niall horan covered it with fletcher and i know it is different from the original but it's so magical to me to hear that song from a male's perspective and i thought you might appreciate!!!!! <3 -liv

@canongf it's so true he made me a lovergirl *sniff sniff* thinking about how we are associated in your mind with lover. what if I exploded.... you think of us fondly sometimes...together🥺🩷💘I am appreciating it very much as we speak I had to put it on repeat to lock in and get in the typing zoneeee... <333

full disclosure I was never really into 1D but when pressed I WOULD say Niall was my favourite because he kinda looked like a cute hamster to me (major green flag) and I have incidentally enjoyed his solo singles. I listened to it and I loved it, it has a very kind of narrative epilogue happy ending feel to it, or like you're running into each others arms across a field or something. love when the drums kick in :) <3

The male perspective is a different angle and the way it's a duet has me unashamedly making a musical theatre animatic in my head. One for our one random musical episode? hahaha. freddie stroma has sung in movies and idk if I'm just down insanely bad but idk. I was impressed hahaha

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (And many happy returns of the day.) A snack to nibble on during desk time tomorrow - It seems to me that ever pairing that I write exists in an historical moment, but also gravitates to another historical point. What do you think Jo and Joe's other historical place is, and why do you think that is? (I have a theory about both but I want to hear your thoughts first.)

Thank you friend!! It was fairly low-blood pressure day in the reading room which was just what the doctor ordered.

Re: this question: thank you, and also this is kind of going to be word salad (it IS going to be word salad).

I can't pinpoint another historical moment exactly, but I'd say probably around the 1880s to 1900s. In Pennsylvania.

My understandings of both Jo and Joe are rooted in......the idea that in this world (the 19th century, which @tortoisesshells so unforgettably described as "just one big orphan-factory," specifically of a certain economic status and other variables), you're not special, this world doesn't care (and in Joe's case this world involves backbreaking soul-crushing manual labor, which, of course, is a through-line well past those decades) but also that to someone this person can be everything.

I am also having the thought that I write them in the midst of all these industrial-era disasters (Man-made!! Being at the mercy of manmade forces and greed and also the laws of nature) from the standpoint of ...deindustrialization and my own memories and I think that's why it's the disaster AU that I can't help but keep as a cornerstone, because it exists across time

[pussymasterdooku]

been a hard day for brendon urie likers not because panic is over (i’m happy for him and loved viva and think it’s a perfect note to go out on) but because few of the jokes i’ve seen are funny and most of them are mean >:(

[thenegoteator]

Hi! Umm, I'm back again to recommend State of Grace by Taylor Swift (specifically the acoustic version) for Anakin and Padmé - somehow, the vibes are kinda right for the two of them and I thought it might be something a little happier than my previous recommendations :)

(that one song anon)

song anon you truly never miss it's so--- hfhfdskfdsfds

I have many complicated feelings about anidala but this is just. soft and wholesome but melancholy and foreshadowing if you think about it too long like We fall in love till it hurts or bleeds or fades in time and These are the hands of fate/ You're my Achilles heel I'm gonna go bite a desk

also. "twin fire signs"??? literally about the skywalkers I'm sorry I don't make the rules. miss swift out here actually writing about star wars huh

i was js talking to my brother yesterday about the wonders of anxiety

[stxrsfxte]

Ragged breaths tore out of Lorelei as they shot up in bed. Iron filled their mouth — their tongue once again carved by their teeth — but the taste of oil and ash overrode any sense of pain in the physical body. Body trembling, they covered their face with their hands, hair falling as a curtain.

The hand on their back made them flinch even though the weight of it was familiar. Glancing through their curtain-hair, Senta’s eyes seemed to glitter in the low light of the candle. Swallowing thickly — tongue, oil, ash blood — it all was forced down to make way for words, “How loud?”

“Mmm, not too loud. The neighbors certainly didn’t hear anything.” The neighbors were not terribly close either, but the knowledge still helped Lorelei’s shoulders to slump in relief. Not fully though. So, Senta rubbed a small circle between their shoulder blade and at the base of their neck — even after so many lives had passed, she knew Lorelei too well. “I’m just a light sleeper is all.” It wasn’t a lie, she really was a light sleeper. But that wasn’t the point.

Lorelei’s shoulders slumped, tension slipping way into regret. Of course it was regret they felt second. They knew Senta too well, knew she stayed close by just in case, a remnant of her old life reflected in her new one. Closing their eyes, they focused on breathing as deeply as possible. Dimly, they were aware of the moment Senta took away her touch. They couldn’t blame her. Aiding a disgraced prophet with nightmares in an age where there was no use for one could hardly be worth her time.

“Oi. Get out of your head will you. I didn’t make this tea just for it to grow cold ‘cause you didn’t feel like snapping out of it.”

Hesitation. The pause before they lowered their hands, loosely brushing one side of their hair over their shoulder so that they could more easily meet Senta’s gaze. Two cups of tea were in her hands. There was no scorn, just a sense of tiredness — mental and physical — and one who’s patience was generally reserved for customers or plants. They didn’t need to do the song and dance of guilt and repentance, even if it was familiar.

Shuffling to make some more space, they took the tea carefully. “Thanks.” Out of all the words they’d ever spoken since the fall of Khaenri’ah, that one weighed down their tongue the most. Still, watching their…friend — they were still friends, Senta had said so before, but the gulf between them remained — sit beside them made something within Lorelei ease.

Silence reigned as they both focused on the tea. Lavender and honey, with just a dash of milk and mint. Lorelei’s taste hadn’t changed, not through all their lives. Even with gaps, Senta still remembered how they liked their tea. What could she not remember, thanks to Lorelei?

Inhaling sharply, Lorelei promptly ignored the way Senta’s gaze felt on them. Instead, they took a sip of tea, forcing the smooth, sweet flavor to push out the thoughts of guilts that threatened to overflow. Instead, their focused settled on the detailing of the teacups. “Did you…make these?”

“Mhmm. Made ‘em just a couple weeks ago.”

“They’re very pretty, and so smooth too.”

“Thanks.” The pause lingered, long enough for Lorelei to feel the hairs on the back of their neck start to raise from nervous energy. “A customer of mine thinks I should sell them, or use them at the bar. But…I don’t think I will. I like creating them for the sake of doing so, not to make money off of it.”

Huffing, Senta’s head thunked gently against the wall. “I just wish she wasn’t so persistent about it. It’s not like I don’t sell my pottery at all.”

“Maybe she’s forgotten that the pots your plants are in were made by you?” The snort and deadpan look their way made Lorelei laugh. “Ah, I see. One of those customers.”

“Yep.” Popping the ‘p’, Senta took a sip of her drink.

As always, Lorelei wouldn’t try to fill the silence. Not until they’d finished their tea, slipped off their bed, and held their hand out for Senta’s cup. “Would you like some more?”

As always, Senta passed her cup over with a nod. Lorelei wouldn’t make the same tea, used to calm them of their nightmares. Instead, the next cup was cinnamon and honey, with harra fruit syrup mixed in. A favorite of Senta’s since she’d woken up, and Lorelei’s most common way of showing their thanks without worrying over words getting too twisted in their mouth or warped by their cutting tongue.

They wouldn’t go back to their bedroom. Senta would always move out to their sitting room before the tea finished, and Lorelei always joined them. The sky was still dark, too dark for the sun to rise anytime soon. That wouldn’t stop Lorelei from offering to do Senta’s hair for her, or Senta offering to get them breakfast once the shops were open even though both of them could cook just fine.

The gulf was there, untouched and silent as they navigated around it. 500 years and Lorelei knew where they lacked certainty and courage, but at least they had this. Familiarity, even if it was cooler than they once had known, was better than scorn.

Bsf Rafe convincing reader that it’s normal to hump on him through his pants cus his just helping out a friend!! Plus y’all are wearing clothes

wanna state since i know im gonna receive hate lol— that reader does know what sex/sexual things are!! hence why she’s also able to tell rafe she’s horny in the first place. i’m not writing a reader that doesn’t know what sexual things are, she clearly does lol

“w-we’re fine, okay? fine. almost all close friends do this. ‘ts completely normal,” rafe nudges, squeezing your bum lightly as you continue dragging yourself back and forth. tiny gasps and whimpers echoing through the room. “it’s not like we’re having sex, you still got your panties on.” your best friend states rather obviously, tugging on the straps of your lacy, sticky underwear.

“promise.. promise nothing’s gonna change?” you mewl, dry humping his bulge, hands placed on rafe’s chest for support. “i promise, just wanna help you.. said you were horny right? it’s uh… a good thing you came to me. other guys would just — just be ruthless on you, y’know? use you and shit.”

you hum, still rubbing your clothed cunt against him, the roughness of his pants making you flustered and barely able to grasp any real attention for what he's talking about. “feels good, rafey.”

“yea, i know, can go faster than that though baby come on.” he urges, placing his hands on your waist and helping you move at a faster speed, groaning at the friction.

he had half a mind to just rip you both out of your clothes and pound you into your bed, tell you he couldn't help himself as ruts inside your hole.

but he clenches his fist and holds back. what a gentleman.

“yeah there you go, feels even better now dont it?” “so, soo much better.. you- you always know what's best, rafey." you mewl, letting out the prettiest noises as you keep on your movements, rafe’s cock jumping underneath the fabric.

“why.. why dont you come and give me a kiss? for thanks?” he questions, puckering his lips slightly. when you freeze just a bit, rafe catches on and helps you rub against him again, quickly sending you back into your haze.

“o..okay,” you whisper, leaning forward to give a him a wet kiss, somehow even more nervous at your locked lips than how you were humping him like you would a pillow.

but it was so sweet, his surprisingly soft lips against your glittery ones.

who could blame you for letting this happen a few more times? you were best friends, after all — you did everything together.

*~*~*~*~*~*

"GOOD MORNING!!!", an australian accent yelled into your ear just moments after you entered the Bahrain paddock.

You flinched, immediately slapping the person’s arm. "Daniel!!!", you called and pushed the driver away from you as he tried to pull you into a hug.

"I‘ve missed you so much", he mumbled, pressing you close to him and ruffling your hair after, which made you slap his hand away from your head.

"You seen Osc yet?“, you asked, looking around you, spotting a few photographers whose camera’s where direct to you. Daniel shook his head. "Nope, I thought you‘d come together. I‘m surprised you’re only here now."

You rolled your eyes and kept walking with Daniel. "I was on a video call with my team, discussing the upcoming tour. We gotta work out a schedule and call the venues and stuff", you replied. "We‘ve been on there even before the album came out and I still haven’t completely made up my mind."

"Indecisive little shit", Daniel laughed, making you slap his arm with a chuckle. You made your way to the Red Bull hospitality, Daniel waving at a few people from Mclaren that he was still friends with even after he left the team at the end of the 2022 season.

"I think Kelly and P are in there", he told you before hugging you goodbye. "If you see Oscar, tell him I‘m looking for him", you said, smiling and ruffling through Daniel‘s hair as some sorta revenge, before quickly stepping back and running up the stairs to the entrance.

Daniel laughed and pointed a finger at you. "I‘m gonna get you back!" You giggled and waved as you walked backwards into the hospitality.

Looking around the room you quickly spotted Kelly with her daughter Penelope sitting on a creme coloured couch.

"Heyy, honey", she greeted you and got up to hug you. "Hey, darling", you then said and lifted Penelope up who was reaching her arms out to you.

Just when you sat down, your phone chimed with a new message.

Osc🧡: Meet me in front of Mclaren

You: I‘m not going in tho

Osc🧡: Well I can’t really walk into Red Bull can I?

You: 🙄okay

"I‘ll be back soon, Oscar just texted", you let Kelly know and high fived P who giggled as you did. Jeez, how much you missed that little sunshine!

You glanced around the front porch of Mclaren‘s hospitality but didn’t spot Oscar. And as you didn’t just want to walk into the building you stayed where you were, next to the steps leading up to the entrance.

"You walked in with Danny, right?", someone spoke behind you, making you turn around. The confused expression on your face quickly leaving when you came face to face with the other Mclaren driver.

He sat at one of the tables with another curly haired guy and a blonde girl.

You nodded. "Yeah", you simply said. "You wanna come up here?", he asked, gesturing to the empty chair next to him.

You‘ve never spoken to Lando Norris, all you knew about him was through stories from either Oscar or Daniel. You knew that he spent some of his winterbreak with Danny and Martin in Australia. Daniel had asked you to come along as well but you were busy with the release of your new album so you had to decline.

You looked around you one last time, trying to find Oscar but failed, so you nodded and took the few stairs up to the table the three of them were sitting at.

As you stood directly in front of them, you saw how the blonde girl recognized you. You‘ve always been good at reading people but over the last years you‘ve become incredibly good at telling whether people recognized you when facing them. Even if they try their hardest to hide it, that small second when their eyes widen in realization was enough for you to tell.

"I‘m Lando", he introduced himself, holding a hand out to greet you. "Y/n, nice to meet you", you smiled, trying to ignore the urge to tell him 'I know, I‘m friends with Daniel and Oscar'. "Max and Pietra, friends of me", he then gestured over to the people sitting across from you.

"So, how do you know Daniel?", Lando asked, crossing his arms on the table. "I‘ve known him since I was 8 years old, I think", you smiled, remembering tiny 8 year old you giggling and blushing when first talking to Daniel at the British Grand Prix. "Really?", his eyes widened. "How did you meet?" "Uh, through my dad, he‘s from Australia as well", you answered, leaving out most of the details.

"You‘re australian?", Lando questioned with raised eyesbrows. "No no, my dad is. My mom‘s from America and I kinda grew up between California and Canberra", you explained.

"However, for some reason she likes to ignore her australian origin", a voice said behind you, making you smirk as you recognized the familiar Melbourne accent.

You turned around in your chair and stood up before wrapping your arms around Oscar. "Hey, princess", he laughed. "How‘ve you been?"

"Bit stressful with Tour at the minute but it feels so good to be back here!", you grinned.

As you turned back to the other three, you couldn’t help but notice Lando‘s confused face. Maybe it was the fact you basically jumped Oscar or that he‘d called you 'princess', something he‘s been doing ever since your first Tour when you got gifted a little crown from your fans because it matched the dress you were wearing on stage.

"I se you‘ve made friends already, might wanna stay here for the race?", Oscar asked with a smirk. You slapped the back of his head in an affectionate way. "Nuh uh, nice try, Piastri", you chuckled. "I‘ll be watching from Red Bull, you know that."

The confused expression on Lando‘s face only seemed to deepen with everything you said so you gave him a quick explanation. "My father used to work at Red Bull, so it‘s the team I‘ve grown up with and I‘m not leaving that."

Oscar snorted at you little white lie but you rammed your elbow into his side to get him to keep quiet.

Lando nodded, still slightly confused by the way you and Oscar acted with each other but before he could question it, a team member walked out of the door and told the two drivers to start getting ready for the race.

"I‘ll see you later, okay? You‘re driving back with Daniel?", your best friend asked. "I haven’t talked to him about it but-" "Okay, then I‘m taking you back to the hotel", he interrupted you with a grin.

"Jeez, splitting my time with you two like you‘re my parents", you laughed but agreed and hugged the driver goodbye.

"Bye, bye!", you waved to Lando, Max and Pietra before walking back over to Red Bull.

*~*~*~*~*~*

After the race and all the podium celebrations, you waited in front of the Mclaren hospitality for Oscar, scrolling mindlessly on your Twitter while ignoring the 22 unread messages from your management.

"Hey, Y/n", a voice said behind you, making you look up from your phone. "Lando, hi. Congrats on your race", you smiled. "Thanks, could’ve been better but we‘ll try again next week", he shrugged.

"Jeddah, right?", you asked, not having memorized the calendar quite yet. The driver nodded and played around with the orange lanyard in his hands.

"You coming?", he dared to ask after a few seconds and from the way his fingers fiddled with the orange band faster, you could tell how nervous he was. You shrugged. "I don’t know yet, I’m quite busy with work at the minute, so probably no. But I‘ll definitely be in Melbourne", you replied, trying to lighten the mood by adding the last sentence.

"Pietra told me you’re a singer", he revealed, making you smile at the memory of the blonde girl. "I could tell she recognized me", you admitted. Lando chuckled. "She said she tried her hardest to not let it show but was freaking out on the inside! She‘s actually quite mad at herself for not asking you for a picture!"

You giggled again and shook your head. "She could’ve asked, I wouldn’t have minded", you said with a small smile. "If she’s at a Grand Prix just let me know and I promise I‘ll find her." "I‘ll let her know", he nodded and looked to the ground with the cutest smile you have seen in a while.

The combination of the brunette curly hair, the british accent, the smile and his dimples, drove you crazy and made you heart skip a few beats. But you tried your best to keep it together.

Little did you know that Lando quite literally felt the same about you. Your long hair, along with the color of your eyes and especially your smile made his heart beat a little faster as well.

You stayed in silence for a few seconds, just looking at each other admiringly before a voice interrupted your starring.

"Princess!! Sorry for being late!", Oscar called while walking out of the hospitality with Lily‘s hand in his. You smiled at the sight of your best friend’s girlfriend and send her a little wave which she returned with the hand that wasn’t wrapped in Oscar‘s.

"That‘s okay, I had Lando to keep me company", you chuckled, making the brit smile a little. "You ready?", Oscar asked and you nodded.

He said goodbye to Lando and started walking down the stairs.

"I’ll see you in Australia?", Lando asked one last time. You nodded your head with a smile. "Oh for sure, I wouldn’t miss this race for the world!", you chuckled. "Great!", Lando whispered under his breath and gave you a little wave which you returned before following Oscar and Lily.

"What do you think of him?", Oscar asked as soon as Lando was out of hearing range. "Lando? He’s pretty cute", you simply stated, not daring to mention the other words floating around your head. Nice, pretty, gorgeous, hot and handsome were just a few examples.

"Why do you ask?"

Oscar smirked. "No reason, really!"
