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.
