#I need you to understand that Im glad he's back with RB now but he also had no reason to stay in 2018

Twitter is mad at Daniel again because they caught on to that CH interview about Daniel being offered the same contract as Max, icl I'm also bitter about it. I wish he wasn't so rash in 2018
It's easy to be bitter in hindsight but the reality is more nuanced, had it not been recorded and internationally broadcast, what happened to Daniel in 2018 would be flat out unbelievable by ANY standard lol. Daniel had mechanical issues in every. single. weekend in 2018 <- this is not a hyperbole or a joke (more on this later). He ran multiple races with a b spec engine -> 20 bhp down on Max. At no point in 2018 did Max run a lower engine power than Daniel. Daniel incurred 8 dnfs, 4 back of the grid starts for mechanical issues and 6 grid drops in total where as Max had *1*[one]. This isn't even accounting for failures in quali or free practice that would have compromised his set up or race prep. Daniel's car accounted for 92% of Red Bull failures in comparison to Max's 8%.
Christian's cunty "he ran from a fight" comment stung particularly hard because it was Christian who made MULTIPLE public apologies to Daniel in 2018 on the ground that he wasn't given a chance to compete. Christian would apologise to Daniel again when Max won in Mexico, even though Daniel had an uncharacteristic outburst in the media pen during that famous "The car is cursed. I can't wait to give it to Pierre" This isn't even diving into the dubious & predatory RB contract practices. At 28 years old, to quote Christian "It's the first time he's effectively a free agent."
You look back at it now and lament it as a bad call but even by Christian's admission Red Bull were on the verge of selling the team for 4 years. Honda was coming in, I know it's easy to praise Honda now but Honda single handedly sent Alonso into early retirement. He found working with them untenable + said it cost him his love for the sport. Those were the lingering images of Honda as they re-entered the sport, the team who electrocuted Alonso then bled his love for racing dry.
If you weren't around in 2018 let me give you a run down so horrific it looks like a joke:
Australia - Race: 3 Place grid penalty
Bahrain - Race: DNF - Battery Failure
China - Free Practice 3: Gear box issue with complete engine turbo failure. Misses FP3 entirely, no quali set up prepared. He would go on to win that race from p6
Baku - Race: DNF - Collision with Max. Racing incident.
Monaco - Race: partial MGU-K failure. He would go on to win that race with drastic loss of power.
Canada - Free Practice 2 - Power unit issue, misses majority of the session.
France - Race: front wing failure. (it disintegrated)
Austria - Race: DNF - Retires from p3 with MGU-k Failure
Britain - Quali: DRS failure. No DRS activation, still qualifies p6 behind Max in p5
Germany - Race: Back of grid start + DNF - Takes new engine for the weekend, starts p19 + has lower power spec A ICE approximately 20 BHP down on B spec that Max was running. Daniel climbed upto p5 from p19 but incurs a MGU-k failure and retires.
Hungary - Race: Daniel is forced to run lower power spec A ICE again, 20 BHP down on B spec that Max was running
Spa - Free Practice 1 + DNF: Daniel misses entire session with engine injector issue + Daniel would go on to retire after being driven into on lap 1.
Monza - Race: Back of grid start + DNF. Daniel takes another new engine for weekend (spec C) and incurs another full grid penalty, starts p19. Daniel would go on to climb to p6 before having clutch failure and retiring.
Singapore - Race + Quali + Free practice: During every session in Singapore Daniel has an unresolved spec C engine clipping issue that Red Bull can't fix.
Russia - Race + Free Practice 1 - Daniel misses FP1 due to mechanical issues. Daniel takes another engine penalty, starts p18
Japan - Race + Quali: Daniel incurs throttle actuator failure, misses quali, another back of grid start.
USA - Race: DNF - Battery Failure
Mexico - Race: DNF - clutch Bearing failure + start software clutch issue. Daniel retires the race from P2
Brazil - Race: Daniel takes a 5 Place grid penalty due to new turbo charger replacement. Starts in p11.
Abu Dhabi - Free Practice 3: Misses majority of FP3 with water leak.
Daniel's insanely vulnerable "if racing was the only thing making me happy this year, I would have been miserable" during the last on the sofa with Max was a v apt summary of 2018. To suggest that Daniel fucked up based on the information he had in 2018, namely Daniel undergoing all those problems + knowing RB was flirting with selling the team + Helmut's fuckery + having an out from the RB umbrella for the first time in his career? Your problem isn't with his decision making process, you just wish he was clairvoyant which is an unfair thing to be bitter about

Double the loki double the trouble
Loki spoilers and food ment.
Ok to rb.
Tender/crack/angst ish fic with the two lokis.
Tumblr media
-- howd you manage with these two?-- asked Mobius watching both lokis fight over the last grape. He takes a sip of his coffee with an amused and tired expression on his face.
--i manage I guess-- said jerico drinking from her tea-- excuse me this is getting ridiculus.
Now, jerico wasnt a soft spoken person by any means but she didnt scream often,as she stomped to the two lokis she clears he throat and shouts-- yOU TWO DROP IT ALREADY!
The screaming was enough to make them stop fighting and look both amazed and a little bit scared of their tiny partner.
She holds the bridge of her nose with her hand and sighs-- I swear to god-- she started grabbing a Knife -- me van a volver loca ustedes dos!-- she cuts the grape in half and as she does so both lokis poke behind her.
--Are you sure youre cutting it evenly?--asked the male! Loki.
--Yes I am-- she cuts the grape in half and hands one each. Walking back to mobius who hands her her cup.
-- thats how you manage?-- he asked.
-- yep, my throat hurts tho-- she drinks from her tea as both lokis sit way appart from eachother in the sofa watching TV.
She sighed looking at them both-- they drive me crazy, but I love them-- she added leaving the mug on the table-- Id Like to think im the only person they wouldnt betray
Mobious snorts playfully-- thats a statement
-- a big one yes-- added jerico grabbing his empty mug and leaving it in the sink.
-- yknow-- approached the tva agent helping her wash the two mugs-- when I see the lokis I see a scared child, but when youre around them its different, I mean you and I are the only people that has ever seen the lokis vulnerable
-- yeah, thats quite a feat
--And I see them in you, or you in them, I mean, I think youre the only one that can understand them, your mind works in misterious ways
She snorts-- its a mistery to me too, we just click thats all
He nodds drying his hands and both sit on the table to talk.
A bit aware of the lokis listening with bright smiles on their faces, the tva agent and the woman Keep talking.
-- they say you have a knack for broken things-- said jerico lightheartedly, playing with her bubble wrap like de-stressing toy-- I get that, we see what other people dont see
Mobius nodds-- and I think they know that -- "they" of course being the lokis-- but im just glad they found someone that loves them as you do
She nodds turning the toy around and pushing the Rubber bubbles down-- Man, I totally forgot, wanna stay for dinner? Im cooking the lokis favorite food
--Well youre gonna need help dont you?-- mobius said.
--a lot
As they Cook dinner the tva agent opens the cabinets-- they have their own mugs too?
--Yeah!-- answerd jer,slicing up the veggies.
The mugs were yellow and dark green with their iconic horns.
--How do you tell them appart?
--i dont
He raised his brows-- Fair enough...
As the food Cooks in the oven the lokis set the table and they all sit.
-- loki!, leave that grape there! Dont--
The male loki throws the grape to his female counterpart who in return grabs It And throws it back.
-- you know how much the grapes cost me!? Stop throwing them around!--exclaimed jerico
--Ill uh go check on the food-- mobius added, he did not want to be part of whatever was about to go down...
As dinner progresses both lokis look at eachother -- I think shes mad at us-- said Lady loki.
--i think that too...
--What did we do?-- she asked.
--besides fighting, trying to kill eachother and drive her crazy on the Daily...then I dont know-- added with sarcasm male! Loki.
His female counterpart scowls eating-- what are we going to do about it?
--i...I dont know?-- answered her male counterpart.
Jerico was tiny in comparision to them, she was 1,65 and even though they were literal Giants, when she was mad height was no inconvinient, a couple of times she did stand on the coffee table to scold them both.
When mobius left jer sat on the sofá with a blanket, she was half passed out, shes tired, exhausted.
Both lokis sit on each side like a kid who regrets the trouble they caused.
Hesitantly they Grab one hand each and cuddle closer to her.
Jerico snuggled closer leaning on male!lokis arm, he hugs her and kisses the top of her head.
Lady loki hugs her too closing her eyes, they didnt know of she was still mad at them.
--are uh...are you mad at us?-- the simple idea of losing her was pure hell of them.
Nobody had treated them like she did, she was the Kindest humans theyve ever met, Lady loki hugged her tightly not letting go-- we're sorry...
Her male counterpart hugs her too in an attempt to try and make it up.
Jerico only sighed being too tired-- I just hope you two know I still love you, just dial it down, please
Both lokis look at eachother and nodd shaking hands.
The three of them cover up with the blanket and snuggle closer to eachother, passing out on the couch with the TV as background noise.

The Mystery Before The Revelation
(pLZ RB WITH Y'ALLS THOUGHTS ON IT!!!IM SO EXCITED TO START THIS FIC!!!,SO OK TO RB).
Theres also some oc stuff here.
♡~♡~♡~♡
Two girls ran amok in the yard, playing tag.
--You cant catch me!-one of the girls say while runnin.
The sun is setting and its almost dinner time.
--Enola!jerico!come inside girls the dinner ready!.
Jerico and elona were the best of friends,partners in mischiefs and confidants to the other.
Elona remembers jeri as being very close, inseparable, she almost lived with her.
But when elona left looking for her mother jer also left.
She thought she never see her again.
Until a couple of years later.
Enola is talking with her two older brothers,Microft and Sherlock.
--Oh dear sister I think youll find this visit very enjoyable--microft said.
--What makes you think that?--they werent on the best of terms.
--Well you shall see- he said again.
But she wasnt the only one surprised by the visit...but also Sherlock.
Jerico got off the carriage,she lifts her eyes, and enola gasps.
They ran to eachother hugging the other.
--Oh my god!its you!
Jer smiled-- hey been a while.
But Sherlocks eyes are there, stuck like glue to his sisters childhood friend.
--Sherlock?Sherlock!snap out of it!-- microft yells in his ear.
--I heard you the first time brother...no need to yell.
They approach both women.
--microft,Sherlock!--jer hugs the detective with a huge smile-- there you are! My my youve grown to be a lovely Man
--And I see youve flourished into a most beautiful woman
He holds her hands, kissing her knuckles.
Enola huffs breaking the moment by grabbing jericos arm--lets get to my lodge and talk, shall we?...
--Why,of course!--the woman bows and locks eyes with Sherlock, winking at him--ill see you gentlemen around...
And so off they went.
The detective sighs dreamily as he sees her leave.
-- I heard you got into some trouble--jer said sipping idly from her tea.
--Well,the adventures of my teenage Years are behind me..
They meet their gazes and burst into laughter.
--Ive missed you--the english woman says.
--Me too..
--So,i see your people are getting ready for something big
--Yes it is...this Year is the year of the big revelation, I cant wait
--Neither does the press apparently-- Both women chuckle.--I saw you looking at my brother with bedroom eyes
--well he is quite the looker enola, what can I say?
Enolas face contorns in disgust,Rolling her eyes--i cant Belive you have a crush on my brother,youve known him since we were kids, plus hes an old Man
--Well I wouldnt call it a crush, just interest
--Im sorry to be the one saying this to you,but your taste in men is questionable...
--You dont like me being interested in your brother at all, do you?
--Can we just-- change subjects?please?
Jeri nodds--Ill take that as a Yes
Meanwhile Sherlock was back at his Office,aparently jerico Will be with his sister the whole day, well he cant blame them,they were very close and he imagines they wanted to catch up.
But what are these New feelings in his chest?,he could barely speak when she talked to him, and those eyes, they had him eating form her hand.
Maybe its just that he missed her too, or thats what he wanted himself to think;even though he was foolishly hiding the true feelings he felt.
He puts the letter down,jericos family couldnt Keep away could they?.
--Jericos dad wants me to work a case for them, why?why now?....
And somehow he decided to accept the case.
He went to their house the Next day, at the crack of dawn.
The beautiful garden was full of flowers,he could barely recall them all.
The big Stone mansion seemed to reach the Sky, plants growing on the old old house.
And of course....those sunflowers infront of the entrance.
Its cold.
--Oh its you Sherlock...
--Yeah missed you too vica
Vica wasnt a fan of Sherlock...since jericó was sixteen, but kindly made him come into the house.
--Oh Sherlock!--Illa, vicas partner greeted him with a hug--The tea is ready,master von terra is waiting for you in his study
--And jerico?
--Sleeping,the trip here left her very tired...
--going overseas is very tiring , alright could you show me to míster Von Terras study illa?
--Why of course!
The long flight of stairs Led to a long Passage way, they Turned a corner and in the end was the gloomy Office of jericos father.
Sherlock entered and sat infront of him.
--Sherlock...welcome...--the Man turns in his chair to meet Holmes--Im glad you accepted the case...
--Yes,but I have to inform you sir, that I am more of a detective, I solve crimes, not a private investigator...
Jers father was always very scary and serious.
--Yes well...I suspect you didnt accept the case because of money, did you?but thats besides the point, lets talk bussines...--he gives Sherlock a folder-- look mister Holmes,this is something very serious, something very important for humanity itself, we need to make sure it all goes smoothly,understood?
Important to humanity itself?now he was interested.
--Yes...mister von terra,I understand...
In another room jerico woke up to vica, patting her back.
--Okay wizquepu--they say--wake up, get cleaned up and rest, we have some guests over
--Hmm...--jerico said,sleepily--thanks void...
--Youre welcome sweetheart, I picked a nice dress for you to wear at breakfast
--Dress?-jer sits up on the bed-- who is it?
--Someone whose also excited to see you, come on now
Vica stands up, leaving the room.
Who the hell could it be?.
--So you see Sherlock,i cant disclose what it is...--Von terra said.
--If you dont tell me I cant help...
--Do as youre asked mister Holmes and you Will be greatly rewarded...head to the dining room,my daughter Will join Us for breakfast and I expect you to be on your best behaviour...
Sherlock bites his tongue but nodds heading outside.
Ray turns his back looking at the chimney.
Sherlock hears him mutter as he leaves the room-- the fate of humanity rests on this encounter...

The Copper Wars
Chapter 5
Tw:smoking
Ok to rb
Tumblr media
'Hey dad....I hope this letter finds you well.
I know I havent written in a while,im sorry I was very busy.
Im working with some folk now, kicking ass, the usual.
The town we lived in was raided by robots, Its some sci-fi bullshit I know...but these folks that im working with, they are battling against them.
I... Also seem to have feelings for six of them...I might need your advice on this....
I also sent you some trinkets and some photos of me,I hope Ill hear about you soon.
With love,your son.
Jerico'
Jerico finished writing his letter and put it inside the envelope that then went into a small box with some small treats,some photos and some dried flowers;he wrapped the box in some nice paper and made sure to tie it up so nothing would scape.
After delivering that to miss pauling, he went back to work on forge.
The big robot was almost done,the circuits,the mechanisms were all done,he needed to weld the last Copper metal sheets and he was done.
And thanks to engie, they did finish it by mid day.
The robot came to life with the whistle of the steam coming out of the big pipes,its belly shone with bright red glow,all seemed oķay,after some test,Like making it eat the scaffolding around it,and then,it grabbed the molten metal form ite opened panel in its exposed stomach/inner forgery shaping it into a big sword,they Turned it off and the night was bound to be celebrated.
However, as soon as the test finished, engie pulled jer to one side.
--We did it engie! In record time!
--Yes we did,and I say this is worth celebratin!--the texan smiled playfully, and pulled blacksmith in a sudden kiss,they had confessed after their obvious crush started to interfere with their work,so engie took the bravery to tell him,and got the most wonderfull answer, Jeri returned his feelings, so a good kiss was the best way to seal said confession.
At night They all went to the same town they went when jerico first arrived, and headed to a pub to celebrate, they were one step closer to defeating grey manns army.
Jeri had excused himself to go outside and catch a breather, unbeknownst to him, spy was outside too.
--Congratulations on finishing that proyect of yours jerico--Spy said letting out the smoke of his cigarrete.
--Thanks spy...I cant Belive we actually finished it so fast...im so proud of it
The frenchman had moved closer to him,and his free hand brushed his.
Jer looked at his companion and tilted his head,witha soft smile.
Spy tried to fight back a smile as his gaze met his crushes.
Stomping his cig, he sighed, and fixed his suit,anxious about his Next move.
Jerico took his hand, making him startle,but then look once again at him.
--I havent realized how cute you looked until now--Blacksmith said, squeezing hid hand Gently.
Spy felt at a loss for words as jers free hand went up to his cheeks.
--You havent been sleeping much have you?--the frenchman shooked his head.
--i never have a good night sleep
--Well...those dark circles under your eyes make you look even more handsome
--W what?
--I know what youre trying to do spy, if youre gonna kiss me, then just do it
--it seems like youve found me out ....--his companion said a bit ashamed.
--Youre not subtle at all , you known that right?
He hears him snort, and nodd--Appparently im not...
Jerico then hugged his neck and kissed him, the frenchmans arms hug his waist and push him to the wall.
They gasp softly for air,then pressing their foreheads togheter.
--You know what?i think we should get inside...--Jeri said.
--Lets just....lets just stay like this for a bit longer...oui?
--Hmm okay...
The rest of the night was then spent around town,buying some snacks or small trinkets.
Once jerico arrived at his room he collapsed on the bed, snoring softly,and into a peacefull sleep.
That wasnt much peacefull the Next day, he woke up to the sound of scout screeching while running for his dear life.
Apparently,Jeremy had touched heavys gun,Sasha, and well...poor thing had put his life on the line.
As he made his breakfast, he felt an arm wrap around his neck, he saw demo with a huge smile on his face--'ello lad! Good mornin!
Jeri smiled softly and looked at his face,trying to find all the details he could, he was very handsome.
--Are ye gonna kiss me or somethin'?--demoman meant this as a joke, until of course,jer did in fact kiss him quickly--Were do ye think yer going huh!?--the scottish Man grabbed him by his hand and kissed him again--Now thats a kiss!
Jeri couldnt help but giggle like a schoolgirl the rest of the morning.
In the afternoon, blacksmith decided to run some test, interrupted by some stolen kisses from engie ,wich made him giggle even more.
--jerico!--medic called out--could jou go and check on sniper?hes been in his nest all day,and he needs to eat with Us
Friday nights such as these was the only time the mercs would get along,and everyone was to eat togheter, but the food is almost done and sniper is no-where to be seen.
So, jerico nodded and Walked outside, and up the water tower, making sure to knock first, so
A, he wont get a bullet between his brows,and B,not scare the living daylights out of his aussie friend.
And talking about him.
He knew the rest were confessing to jerico,the only two that havent done it were medic and himself,and he was anxious about it.
He wasnt the best when feelings were involved so he did the only thing he knew,that was isolate himself.
--hey sniper foods almost ready
--Oh...ill be there in a bit--sniper lowered his rifle and scratched the back of his neck.
--Everything okay?...you seem off
--Its nothin ta worry about
Jeri sat besides him--Still whats up...?,do you want to talk?
His whole face started to heat up,and he looked away.
Jeris hand grabbed his chin softly, and made him look at him.
--Come on whats up?
Without any warning sniper saw his chance and kissed him.
--Thats whats happenin roo
Jer started to giggled and kissed him again,hugging his neck peppering his face with kisses.
The aussie started to laugh,softly--Alroight enoughs enough come on...foods almost ready...
--yeah lets go...im starving
After dinner,jeri went and opened up the package that was left for him.
There was a letter and some small gifts.
'Hey son' his fathers handwriting read'im glad youre okay.
I understand you had your hands full.
Im okay, ive traveled Back home and I plan to stay a while,I missed this.
Your aunts told me that they miss you, and they cant wait to see you.
Eryz,ozi and vel sent you some treats.
And about that love advice, its what I always say, trust your gut boy, look good, and be smooth, thats all.
I love you,stay safe.
~Ray'.
Jeri smiled, and looked at what was inside the box.
Some treats,and some photos of his dad and his aunts.
Jerico sighed with nostalgia and went to sleep, his cats curled besides him.

Stolen Stares
Cw: none
▪︎Ok to rb
▪︎Based of this prompt list.
▪︎Prompts: Stolen glances,Almost saying i love you before stopping themselves,Hugs that last just a little longer than usual,And,Feeling like something is missing but not knowing what when you're not with each other.
Tumblr media
There he was doing the same old thing, stealing glances at lazaro, he was wearing that beige hoodie, yellow beanie and black sneakers and jeans.
Chamber sighed, looking away just missing as laz returned his stolen glance. He looked wonderfull today, well, he always did, but his hair shined a bit more, not a speck of dirt on his suit. Sharp and dressed to kill.
He let out a deep breath of frustration and returned to his conversation. Unbeknownst to him, the frenchman was staring.
Some days later the agents were hanging out after a mission, vincent had cracked a joke that hit that spot in lazaro. The Man errupted in laughter, wheezing as he grabs Raze for support.
Chambers heart skips a beat, well more than one, he smiles like a kid during christmas and starts chuckling as well, hes looking at his crush with wonderous eyes, he could see tears forming in the corners of his eyes, he looked so beautiful.
-- I lov-- the frenchman stopped mid sentence with everyone watching him, the gleaming look turns sheepish-- I had a lovely time-- he cleared his throat-- I got to go, its already getting late, Bonsoir mesdames et messieurs -- Before leaving ,however, he stole one final, long glance at lazaro and sighed turning back to his room.( good night ladies And gentlemen)
As he left unaware, laz looked at his direction, watching him enter the compound.
-- is it me or was he going to say "I love you"? -- asked Raze turning to her friend.
-- yeah,thats...that sounded like I love you, a lot...actually...-- but he dropped it, more dissapointed in chamber leaving than what just happened.
Then, things got...weirder, lazaro returned from a particularly dangerous mission, chamber ran. No. Chamber bolted towards him giving him a bear hug, letting out a gratefull sigh.
--Dieu merci tu vas bien, je ne peux pas te perdre -- he whispered, the hug was lasting a little bit more than usual, enough for chamber to recive some weird looks.( im so glad youre okay I couldnt loose you)
-- oh woah!, Someone missed me ! -- lazaro joked making the frenchman smile and fix his hair.
-- well, the team cant loose such an invaluable member Like yourself-- flirted vincent with blush dusting his cheeks-- everything okay?
Laz only smiled like a fool in love-- more than Okay, lets celebrate, mon ami!
The frenchman is taken back for a moment, guess he picked something up after him.
Not wanting to leave him out, he nodded letting him put an arm around his neck-- claro que si!-- he answered smiling.(of course yes!)
After the party, lazaro was asleep on the couch with that beige hoodie and beanie, chamber only sighed looking at his crush sleeping peacefully.
-- you have it bad-- commented brimstone.
-- am I that obvious?
The american nodded-- much so
Sighing, vincent Turned to his teammate-- merde..., well, theres no point in hiding it...-- he threw his back against the backrest of the chair, closing his eyes letting his neck fall back and rest on the edge of the wooden back.
-- I just feel like somethings missing when hes not around, tu me comprends? (Do you understand/yknow?)
-- I get ya buddy,good luck-- brimstone patted his arm and left.
He sighed, and opened his eyes, looking at lazaro.
"Oui, still asleep"
He got up from the chair and carried him to his quarters.
Now he didnt mean to snoop but there was a drawing on his nightstand, upon closer inspection, it was him, And a little note that said " I love him so much, so so much".
The world stopped, laz felt the same thing as him?...
-- bonne nuit mon amour(good night my love) -- he kissed his crushs forehead and left,closing the door behind him with a happy smile.
And then that fatefull(or gratefull?) Day happened.
--chamber, we need to talk-- said lazaro making chamber tremble down to his socks, he gulped.
-- sure mon ami, what is it?-- his heart raced like crazy,inside of his calmed exterior.
-- I, well, I kinda like you, as in, I want to be your boyfriend...
-- Grâce à Dieu, I like you too!-- he exclaimed looking at him.
They waste no time, kissing for a brief moment before laz yanks him into an actual serious kiss.
And they ended in chambers ridiculously expensive bed, cuddling under the silk covers. Feeling like a weight was lifted from their shoulders.
