Summary
“Please don’t touch me.” Mack rushes out in a small voice, as the tears spring back to his eyes.
“Why not?”
“I don’t like it.”
“Yes you do.” Toff says with such certainty it startles him.
“No I don’t, I never have.” Mack protests.
“Is that what you’ve been telling yourself?”

Summary
“It could be nice. Right? We could get a cool house, and like, a dog. Or two, maybe. Have you seen those golf simulators? We could get one of those. And I want a pool.”
“Mack.”
Silence, thick and striking.
“Just imagine it,” Mack whispers, “Just pretend for a minute, okay? We aren’t getting married, I know, it’s fucking stupid. But just, like, pretend.”
“It’s really late, dude. We need to sleep.”
“What kind of mattress would we have?” He asks.
He can’t help it. He has to pry, he has to dig his fingers into the cracks and pull it all apart.

Summary
Merlin had failed. Despite all his efforts, Arthur had ended up dead in his arms on the shores of Avalon, so close to salvation. Surely, this could not be how their shared destiny was supposed to end? No, it was all Merlin’s fault—he had made all the wrong choices, misinterpreting prophecy after prophecy. If only he could go back and try again, now that he knew better, maybe he could right his wrongs. Maybe he— Oh. Maybe he could go back…
Ignoring Kilgharrah’s protests about the impossibility of what he aimed to do, Merlin let all his power loose, becoming one with the fabric of the world and the magic he was born of. After following the bond he shared with Arthur through the winding paths of time, he finally emerged a decade into the past, having successfully seized a second chance to get this whole destiny thing right. Unfortunately, he would have to win Arthur’s trust all over again, seeing as Merlin was alone in remembering anything of the future he was hoping to change. Or…was he?

Summary
“If you’re kissing all your girls like that,” Oscar starts, his voice is slower, drawn out, “Then its no wonder they aren’t moaning.”
It’s almost goading, the way he says it—the words undercut with a challenge. Oscar knows him too well to assume he’s going to back down.
”Yeah?” Lando tilts his head, eyes narrowing, “Big talk, Piastri. You think you’re a better kisser than me?”
Oscar rolls his eyes at his tone, there really isn’t a reason for them to be doing this. ‘Just because’ isn’t a good enough reason to make out with your best friend, no matter how drunk or high you are, and Oscar knows that. But it sticks in his chest like nicotine tar, aches with every shuddering breath he sucks in.

“Is this all it takes then?” Max asks, instantly snatching the cherry floating on top of her drink. Charles stares resolutely into her eyes, refusing to watch the way Max’s lips wrap around the stem. “Your first race win in three years is all it takes for you to start outwardly flirting with me?”
Charles’s nose wrinkles, her face screwed up into something between disdain and confusion. She snags her straw between her teeth and takes a long drink to stop the first thought that jumped to the tip of her tongue.
“I am not flirting.”
Charles isn't gay. At least, she doesn't think she is until Max kisses her.

Summary
“I need to borrow one of your hoodies,” Lando says, as he makes his way into Oscar’s apartment and flops down on the couch, kicking off his shoes in the process.
Oscar squints suspiciously in his direciton. “Why?”
Lando sits up so his head pokes over the back of the couch. “Because I need George and Alex to think I have a boyfriend."

Summary
So, he thinks he surprises himself and his sister Hattie and every single person he’s ever interacted with when he says, “I’ll marry you” to Lando Norris one Thursday afternoon in late May.
(He can blame it on George’s and Alex’s pestering, that.)
Lando seems surprised, too, but he recovers quickly.

Summary
He had been in fact wondering when someone would move in, curious to see with who he would share a wall now.
The door gets open and Oscar is pretty sure his heart actually stops beating for a second when he sees the boy standing there.
“Can I help you, mate?”
Blinking to regain focus Oscar tries to remember why he came here. “Um… I’m Oscar”or

Summary
“Are you sniffing my clothes, mate?” Lando’s voice violently rips Oscar back to reality.
Oscar drops the hoodie like it’s turned into a venomous snake, recoiling in shock. Lando’s standing in the doorway, motionless, one hand still on the doorknob. Oscar can’t quite read the expression on his face, but he doesn’t need to in order to hear the incredulity ringing out in Lando’s voice.
“Um,” Oscar stammers, panic setting in. This looks so bad.
Alternatively:
Oscar's been obsessed with Lando since he was 14. Now they’re teammates at McLaren, and he's struggling to keep it together. Lando's not a better man.

Summary
On the life of his whole career, Lando would swear he doesn’t mean for it to become a routine, the café.
Only, on Monday, Lewis stops technique to compliment Max’s extensions during centre adage – Max’s – and then directs his stupid, stuck-up, closed-lipped grin at Lando when he fucks up the timing of the same combination during his group’s rotation at it. And Lando can’t sit around the lobby avoiding everybody’s eyes after, feels like he’ll suffocate if he does, so he wraps his scarf around his neck another time and trudges the same four doors down, shoulders through the same door.
“Morning!” Oscar calls from behind the counter.
(Alternatively: Lando is a ballet dancer in timeout. Oscar works in a coffee shop. This is a Hallmark Christmas movie.)

Summary
NASA has this weird protocol, where if you’re a developing engineer, you’re automatically assigned a tester pilot.
Oscar’s tester pilot has been in the workforce for approximately…3 months. But everyone starts somewhere, right?
He receives Lando Norris’s file on a bright Tuesday afternoon, and is asked what he thinks.
He thinks it’s absolute bullshit.
Or; snippets of Lando and Oscar’s story, told through the building of a new-gen space ship.

Summary
“I mean, obviously, I’m a racing driver, and I’m fortunate enough to do something I enjoy as my job, but I like to do other things too, to take my mind off the more negative parts of the sport.”
Lando is reading off of a script for an obligatory Mental Health Day video that they’re pre-recording, but he still catches Oscar off guard.
“Golf and playing games with my friends is always fun too, but when I’m alone, I do a bit of art,” he says, and Oscar is so thankful for his Formula 1-trained neck because his head would’ve fallen right off his shoulders from how fast he turned to stare at him.
“You what?”
Or: their hobbies are much more aligned than either of them would've thought.
