Summary
The intended sentiment of Best Years allows him to put himself in a pair of shoes he’d love to wear, it allows him to transport himself into a future where he has what he wants with who he wants it with, and gets to promise all three of them that he’ll do his best to be a good partner to them until the end of his days. And he thinks he would be. If given the chance, he believes he would make for a good boyfriend. Partner. Whatever they’d wanna call him.
Luke would want to call them his partners, he thinks, regardless of what they would want to call him.
A story about being certain of where your place in life is but being unsure about how to find your way there.

Summary
Some nights were, naturally, worse than others.
Nights where Frank laid in bed for so long, staring at the ceiling, that it made his heart start to race with anxiety and his back ache and ache and ache no matter how he positioned himself. Nights where his thoughts spiraled out into worst-case-scenarios that seemed so vivid and inevitable that he would have to get up and go to the bathroom, just to turn the light on and look at himself in the mirror to remember what was actually real.
Those were the nights when he wanted the pills again the most: alone in his guest bedroom, trying to wring sleep out of his body like the last few drops of water out of a dirty dishcloth.
He tried not to call Mel on nights like that. He did not always succeed.

Summary
Lando Norris, internationally famous rockstar, has three main priorities: drugs, avoiding eye contact, and pretending emotions don't exist.
To most, he's just flippant; a hot, young thing with messy habits. So what if he washes down breakfast with a shot of vodka? He's a rockstar, it practically comes with the territory of being too young and too famous.
But the reality of it is a lot more destructive.
Enter Oscar Piastri. Engineering student. Polite and boring to a fault. Really, he's nothing interesting.
Except, after one too many nights taken too far, Lando's manager hires Oscar as his chaperone.
Lando hates him immediately.
As the band's tour drags on, as the looming threat of FIA's album deadline becomes ever the more pressing, as Oscar gets dragged deeper into a strange world of glitz and grime, Lando begins to think that things might finally turn out fine.
Except things are never, ever fine with him.

Summary
Oscar Piastri was eight years old when his soulmate opened their link for the first time and immediately insulted him:
Australians suck. I hope my soulmate isn’t Australian.
Oscar took that remarkably well.
By which, of course we mean he spent the next fourteen years holding a grudge.
Unfortunately, Lando Norris does not remember any of this.
--- ALTERNATIVELY ----A soulmate bond opens.
A child says something stupid.
Another child takes it personally.
Fourteen years later, everyone involved wishes they had made better choices.Series

Summary
It’s the profound tragedy of Lando’s life, he thinks, to realise he’s in love with his teammate – just as Oscar Piastri makes a habit of standing one step higher on the podium, forcing Lando to crane his neck to look at him.
Oscar hates watching the light fade from Lando’s eyes with every victory he takes from him. He accepted the inconvenient truth long ago: he loves Lando. But he loves winning more.
