Summary
Oscar rubbed the back of his neck. “Sorry. I didn’t think, I mean, this was all kind of fast. I didn’t plan—”
“You panicked and offered a stranger a place to stay,” Lando said, gently teasing. “It’s endearing.”
Oscar rolled his eyes but couldn’t argue. “I panicked because I thought you had nowhere to go.”
“And I said yes because I wanted to stay.”or... Oscar owns a cafe near Albert Park and his staffers quit ahead of race weekend. Then came in Lando.

Summary
The foreman: first in the saddle, last to rest. The one the cowboys turn to, the steady hand that keeps the ranch alive. Not just a leader but the spine of it all, the owner’s most trusted man. Where command is quiet and respect is earned, never demanded.
Lando stands at the church doors, hat pulled low over his eyes. The love of his life is getting married today.
A Carlando fic set in a world of cowboys and ranchers.

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.)

PIASTRI: Focus, Lando. No other cars around. Leclerc ten seconds behind, slow lap. After Leclerc is Tsunoda, timed lap, Turn 13.
Let’s do a quick one.

Summary
Oscar never intended to fall in love with a pirate.
But it’s not his fault the crew of the Samurai mistook him, a humble blacksmith’s apprentice, for a nobleman’s son.
And it’s not his fault the person that Captain Alonso assigned to watch over him at all times is unfairly pretty in a way that could only be described as ethereal.
