    Summary

    Oscar didn’t want to be there.

    He doesn’t like bars, doesn’t like people, and he definitely doesn’t like pushy men who think “no, thank you” sounds like an invitation.

    But when one of them just won’t leave him alone, he does the only thing that seems remotely
    reasonable: he walks up to the bar and asks the handsome bartender for help—the one who
    looks like he’s rescued people before.

    Lando was only supposed to pretend to be his boyfriend for two minutes.

    Two minutes.
    One drink.
    A hand on his waist.
    A smile.

    And that was it: game over.

    Summary

    "Uh, hallo? I am, uh, Oscar. I am new, what is it, student? And you?"
    Oscar. He practices the name in his head. It rolled off his tongue quite nicely, as much as he hates to admit it. Oscar.
    "Hello. I'm Lando, McLaren driver," Lando said, quite clipped, because he had work to do and couldn't waste time on this right now.
    "Lan-doo?" Oscar asked, eyebrows rising and Jesus Christ, is Oscar actually stupid, or just taking the piss?
    "Your English is terrible, mate."
    The words are leaving Lando's mouth before he even realises they've escaped up his throat. A mechanic stops mid screw turn. An engineer drops a pair of safety goggles like it's a bomb.
    Oscar looks like he punched him. Lando kind of wants to punch himself.
    "Ja, I, um, I know. I - what's the word - ah, yes, try. I try."
    Lando swallows the sorry in his throat. It takes a second to go, the guilt heavy in his mouth. It tastes like acid and pain and the apology he probably should say but won't.
    His ego is bigger than his empathy, it seems.
    Or
    the one with notepads, exchange students and a love that surpasses every language barrier.

    Summary

    Charles had a bad feeling about this race. It was a nagging feeling in the back of his head and a twisting feeling in his stomach that felt like if it went on any longer he wouldn’t be able to breath due to the build up of pressure in his chest.

    OR

    I decide to crash that Ferrari.

    Summary

    Oscar was an alpha, everyone treated him like one at least. “too stoic to be a beta” that was a narrative he’d gotten used to seeing online. “Too broad and quiet to be an omega” okay that one hurt a bit more but it wasn’t the worst thing ever said about him. Now years into the sport and with no one bothering to question him on his second gender, Oscar never felt the need to correct anyone. If they thought he was an alpha then that’s who he would be. It works well, until it doesn’t.

    A what-if rewrite of the first movie. What if Merrick only needed one immortal? What if it couldn’t have been Booker?
