Summary
Lando attaches the blushy, pouty photo and sends it, then locks his phone and drops it onto the carpet beside him, staring up at the ceiling.
There’s a pause, stretching suspiciously long.
A faint click echoes through the call. Mute. Then unmute again.
“Sorry,” OP says when he comes back, his voice rougher now. “Thought someone was at the door.”
Or: Lando loses an F1 championship and signs up for a charity Minecraft speedrunning tournament to cope with his existential crisis. Turns out his coach, faceless speedrunning champion OP81, might be a bit of a fanboy.

Summary
“I…it's just that there’s a race tonight, Osc.”
Something sinister snapped in his mind. Oscar’s fingers dug into the hard plastic of the phone, almost painful with the force of the grip. “Are you serious? You can’t–it’s one race, Lando.”
“Every race counts, baby,” Lando argued, though there was no real heat behind the words. They were almost pleading, begging him to understand.
But Oscar was tired of understanding.
He’d done nothing but understand their entire relationship, and look where it had gotten him.
*
Lando Norris. Two time Formula 1 world champion, McLaren golden boy, driver of the ages. And in recent years, loving husband and father.
Sometimes, Oscar wondered what labels the world would assign to him. Oscar Piastri. Loving husband and father, sure.
But was there anything else?
*
In which we explore the loss of identity that comes with being a WAG, a parent, and a husband.

Summary
A wicked lift came unbidden to the corner of Oscar’s mouth. “I’m trained to hunt pirates, sir – you have fewer secrets than you think.”
The inscrutable set of Verstappen’s face hardened, and Oscar marveled at the captain’s ability to be such a sphinx when he needed to be. It was the perfect combination of unsettling and disturbing - no wonder the man had a three-year running reputation as the Caribbean's most fearsome pirate.
In which a harrowing storm pushes Pirate Captain!Max and Captured Naval Lieutenant!Oscar to their limits in a Golden Age of Piracy AU.
Now with Part II!

Summary
Strangers, family, friends, maybe lovers and maybe nots. They all come from different backgrounds, with different hopes, dreams and aspirations. Their common ground? They all know Max or Carlos or Max ‘and’ Carlos, and they all have a talent for complicating their lives.
This is the tale of a group of friends whose roads run in parallels, cross, tangle and untangle only to tangle again. There is friendship and love, problems and solutions, misery and joy. There is a life with all its ingredients.

Summary
They were born into a world of empire and blood—of names that demanded respect and hands that sometimes had to kill to protect what mattered.
Oscar and Ollie Verstappen-Leclerc are the legacy sons of a syndicate built on steel nerves, old codes, and deeper love. Raised by Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc—two men feared and worshipped in equal measure—they were taught loyalty, strategy, and the value of silence. But when a war brews and betrayal looms from inside the walls, it’s Oscar who goes under, deep undercover, giving up everything—including his name—for the safety of the family.- Words:

Summary
Evan knows something’s wrong the moment he steps into the pub. There’s a charge in the air—sharp, unsettled. It takes five minutes to confirm the feeling, and two more to pinpoint the cause: his best friend.
Loosely inspired by Crowley’s The Boys In The Band, this one-shot follows Evan, James, and their friends through James's birthday night out: a chaotic twenty-fours—where drinks flow, truths surface, and Pandora decides it's time everyone faced a little honesty.
CW: Drugs and Alcohol.

Summary
Sirius exhaled hard through his nose. "So who do you think you're fighting for?"
"Myself," Barty said. No hesitation.
Sirius barked a humorless laugh. "You can't win a war alone."
"I'm not alone."
Sirius snapped, "Your dead boyfriend doesn't count."

Summary
James Potter has spent the past two years as the token straight friend in his circle: until he meets Evan Rosier. A story about a kebab shop after 1:00 AM, a football match, a river Evan didn’t mean to fall into, and a love James didn’t mean to find.
What follows is entirely self-indulgent and totally not serious: it's about music, finding where you fit, and my personal vendetta against British gay clubs.
CW: Recreational drug use.

Summary
James gives his heart away too fast—first to Lily, now to Regulus. Because love should be all or nothing, should be the thing you fight for. And Regulus—Regulus who writes lyrics like confessions, a poet stitched into a rockstar’s body, is everything he’s ever wanted. But Regulus doesn’t want James’s heart, and James thinks it might just ruin him.
Evan knows what ruin looks like. Fuck, he’s practically an expert in it. He’s spent years watching it unfold between his two best friends. His own heart caught in the wreckage of Barty and Regulus’s half-hidden, half-holy, and entirely doomed love story. And still, he wants it. Wants be to be fucking wrecked. Wants the kind of love songs are written about, more than that wants to be chosen, to be fought for but unfortunately for him the person he wants doesn’t want him back and so he’s left picking up the pieces of a disastrous love story that isn’t even his.

There Is a Light That Never Goes Out by TheCrowCrone

Summary
The most stoic and reserved of all Slytherins, which was saying something, truly, sat lazily observing the frolicking witches in the center of the room. And he was smiling. Theo squinted. Smiling, with teeth! He couldn’t remember Blaise ever smiling out of enjoyment or happiness… not without at least a small amount of disdain, cruel amusement, self-satisfaction… He should probably feel alarmed, but he didn’t. He decided he really was one of those wizards who did not hate spliffs. He also did not hate muggle music.
He looked to Hermione, sprawled on the floor next to the Gramophone, head on an emerald green cushion, eyes closed and one hand weaving through the air in rhythm to the music. He definitely didn’t hate muggle-born Golden Girls, he thought, surprising himself again.
Theodore Nott, unwilling Death Eater, sole surviving member of the hated House of Nott, and consummate loner, spent the night before his 18th birthday getting high and drunk with two of the most lauded Gryffindors of their generation, learning about Pulp, The Cure, Pink Floyd, the Rat Pack, and Billy Joel… and he didn't hate any of it. It may very well have been the best day of his life.Series
