Hiiii, could you do something with lando wanting to be protective of reader like her being afraid of something happening and him hugging her tightly to make sure she is safe w him 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
I need this man so bad and this just fueled that
Safe With Me, Love (LN4)
Summary: When a man at a club makes Y/n uncomfortable, touching her, grabbing her, Lando’s the first to stop it.
Warnings: attempted sexual assault, lando almost getting into a fight, verbal abuse, language, lando gets super angry, but major fluff at the end and all is well
Note: i am in no way trying to glorify sexual assault with this at all. What happens to a multitude of women around the world and incredibly disgusting, my heart goes out to all the victims of any kind of sexual assault.
There’s a loud boom from the speakers as Lando and Y/n sidle up next to each other in the dimly lit booth Max had secured for the night. Shot glasses and other drinks are scattered across the surface of the table, the majority of the liquid having been consumed by their friends who had tagged along. Max F and Pietra dance together on the floor while Oscar and Max V are left to grimace at the touchy exchanges between the couple left in their seats.
A dangerous hand high up on Y/n’s thigh has Max V gagging into Oscar’s shoulder, “When do you guys stop?”
Lando’s hazy eyes give him a quick glance before retreating back to his beautiful Y/n, “I don’t stop. She tries to make me, but let’s be honest, I never will.”
Oscar rolls his eyes and Max V throws back the rest of his drink. The two men get up and flee the area in a panic when Lando starts kissing her neck softly, knowing the boy is quite affectionate when he drinks. Y/n is a bit farther than her boyfriend on the drunk spectrum, making her more prone to accepting his PDA-filled advances. She snickers into his ear when his tongue lightly traces her skin and her hands dance in his hair when he whispers how much he loves her.
Y/n and Lando could not be more clingy when they’ve consumed alcohol. Everybody knows this. From the fans and media to their families, the couple has had multiple drunken exchanges where they were more than comfortable sharing how much their physical connection was just as strong as their emotional one.
“Have I ever told you how pretty you are?” Lando says as he pulls back, eyes roaming her face as his breathing turns shallow as if he’s completely taken aback by her beauty.
Y/n blushes, “Lan, if I had got a penny for every time you told me I was pretty, we would be billionaires just off that money, not even with your racing income. Pennies.”
Lando smiles at her as his head lulls to the side. Her back rests against the cushions of the booth while his is turned to the rest of the crowd, his entire front facing her with his hands on her hips, “Good. You should be told how pretty you are every second of every day.”
Her hand lays across his bicep as they look helplessly at each other, drunken smiles and breaths hitting the other’s face from the close proximity. In the midst of the deafening music, their moment is quiet and it reaffirms Lando in his idea that every day he would fall in love with his girl all over again.
His eyes are overwhelming and his look of love makes Y/n want to giggle and squeal, she needs a moment to herself. Lando’s face falls slightly when she mentions needing to go to the bathroom, “Let me go with you.”
Y/n stands from the booth and shakes her head at him with a light grin, “No, baby. I’ll be fine. I’ll be back in five minutes tops.”
He’s persistent, his hand clutching hers still, “No, Y/n. Stay.”
Puppy dog eyes and a pouted lip threaten Y/n’s plan to calm down from Lando’s eyes, but she perseveres.
“You wanna know the truth?” She pops her hip out and stares down at him, his body warming at her sassy position.
He nods, “Always.”
She leans down to his ear and whispers, out of slight embarrassment and the fact that she doesn’t want him to genuinely see the effect he has on her, “You’re making me all flustered and I need to regain my composure.”
When she pulls back, Lando’s mouth has fallen open slightly in a smile with his teeth sticking out a little bit from his top lip, “Oh, well… Then, go right ahead.”
She nods at him before he loosens his grip and she disappears into the crowd. His eyes try to stay on her frame, wanting to make sure she gets to the bathroom, but clubs are always packed and the moment her hand leaves his, his sight of her is lost.
He tries to ignore the sinking feeling in his stomach.
Throwing away the used paper towel, Y/n exits the bathroom and is immediately slammed into a hard chest. She reels back, discreetly checking the stranger’s shirt for any makeup stains. When she finds none, she lets her natural kind demeanor shine through.
“Oh, I’m sorry about that. I didn’t see where I was going.” She gives, the man staring down at her in a way that puts her off.
He doesn’t say anything, just looks at her, but when she tries to move past him, his arm comes to hold her bicep.
“What’s your name?” He asks. Alarms sound off in her brain at his tightening grip, panic settling into her skin and suffocating her. He’s not much taller than her, maybe 5’6, if that. Though, with her short stature, he still intimidates her with the way he slightly towers over her. Lando would tower over him, she tries to tell herself.
Where’s Lando? Get to Lando.
His fingers on her arm don’t allow for that, however.
A smirk finds its way onto his grimy face as he repeats, “I asked you what your name was, sweetheart.”
Her eyes avert to the floor, “Uh, Y/n.”
Immediately, she knows she’s made a grave mistake. She’s not stupid, just completely lost at the way fear has enveloped her body. She knows she should never give out her name to strangers that grab her without her consent, she just is completely gone to the racing thoughts in her head.
“What a pretty name,” He speaks, grip relentless, “What’s a beautiful girl like yourself doing here alone?”
“I’m not alone. I’m here with my boyfriend and his friends.” She smiles, hoping that the mention of her boyfriend will scare him off.
Happy endings aren’t always guaranteed, though.
The man moves closer, his breath down her face, “Aw, how cute. Who’s your boyfriend?”
In a leap of faith at the power of Lando’s name, Y/n murmurs, “Lando Norris.”
The man keels over with laughter, his grip staying put on her arm however, “Oh, love, how sweet. Are you one of those fan girls that think they have a chance? Lando Norris would never go for someone like you. No offense.”
Offense taken, bitch, she thinks.
Trying to defuse the situation, Y/n lightly pulls at her arm, “None taken. If you can let me go, that’s be great.”
Suddenly, his hand has maneuvered her against the wall, his face right next to her neck as he breaths her in. Turmoil floods Y/n when his other hand comes to trace up and down her thigh, trying to hike it up to his waist but failing when she clamps her legs together.
He whispers in her ear, “Don’t be a bitch. Everyone at this club would take one look at you and know you’re an easy slut. Let me get a taste of what everyone already has.”
Her eyes drown in tears as she tries to seek out help as they rest right outside the bathrooms. However, as ironic as it is, the usual busy bathrooms are ghost towns in the moment a man tries to sexually assault her.
He finally gets her thigh to wind around his waist when his strength overpowers her body and Y/n is taken back to the moments when Lando would manhandle her in bed. What she used to think was the biggest turn on has now turned into something horrifying and painful.
“WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!” There’s shouting from the end of the hallway and the man invading her space moves off her in an instant. Her face whips around to meet Lando’s fiery one, his body stalking toward the man as Max V, Max F, and Oscar follow in tow. All four men are looking enraged, faces burning red at the scene they had just witness whilst Pietra turns around and bolts toward the front of the club. In her loud mind, Y/n knows it’s because Pietra is going to get security.
Lando reaches the man, grabbing the collar of his shirt and shoving him against the opposite wall. He screams in his face, “DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH MY GIRLFRIEND LIKE THAT. WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?” He spits in the man’s face, “YOU’RE FUCKING DISGUSTING.”
Three burly men return with a distraught Pietra, pulling Lando off the strange man and immediately removing the man from the premises.
With the absence of him, Lando is quick to pull Y/n into his arms, feeling her melt into him. Nobody says anything as he holds her tightly, turning her away from the group so his back faces them and she can cry into his chest lightly with some kind of privacy. His hands clamp down around her body while she grips his shirt. There’s whispers of reassurance and love as he tries to soothe her nerves.
“Get me out of here,” She chokes out, letting her hands drift under his shirt to feel the warmth of his bare skin.
Lando nods as he kisses her temple, “Of course, my love.”
He leads her through the overstimulating crowd and out of the club where the man has been handcuffed and shoved into the backseat of a cop car. An officer approaches her as she’s curled into Lando’s body, asking her for a statement, but, with Lando’s credibility and fame, he speaks softly with the man and asks if he can get her statement another time.
“I think she just needs to go home right now.” He says as Y/n stays hidden in his chest.
Her cowering and shaking strikes a cord in the older man’s heart, “Yes, of course. That’s completely fine. Can I get your number so I can call later tomorrow? Does that work?”
Lando nods, “Yes, that’s perfect,” He lists off his number, the officer taking it down in his notebook. When the last number is drawn, he wishes the couple a calm night and retreats back to his partner.
Y/n tries to hang on to Lando as he tries to pawn her off into the passenger seat of his car. When her hands won’t unclasp from his waist, he leans down and meets her eyes.
His hand lightly rubs her knee, almost hesitant in not wanting to scare her anymore. He looks up at her before softly speaking, “I’m not going to leave you. I promise you that. After that, I will never let you out of my sight ever again. We’re just getting in the car to go home, baby. That’s it. I’ll be right next to you the rest of the night.”
She nods, looking down at her hands in the silence while Lando closes the door and jogs to the other side of the car, getting in.
The car ride back is quiet as Lando lets his hand roam over her thigh. Even though it’s a call back to what the man had done to her in that secluded corner of the club, she doesn’t feel fear or uncomfortable. All she feels is love and security as his fingers lightly trace over the moles and bumps of her leg. Lando’s hands, all of Lando, will never not be a safety net for her, she knows that.
Nothing could make her afraid of him.
He’s delicate with her as they walk to his apartment, an arm tightly around her waist as they wait in the elevator. When they reach his door, he sets her in front of him, between him and the door, as he unlocks it. When it opens, she walks in first and goes straight to the softness of his bed. She falls onto it, letting out a small groan at the comfort, before he catches up with her, his body looming over hers and smiling.
Her mascara must be running down her cheeks and her eyeliner must be smudged across the entirety of her face yet Lando’s face shows what it always does: the love he has for her beauty. Even in her worst moment, he thinks she is the most beautiful thing he has ever laid his eyes on.
“Can I get you out of your clothes? Unzip your dress and take it off along with your heels?” He’s clear and precise with his questions, not wanting to throw her a curveball or something that gets misunderstood.
She nods with a small smile, but Lando stays still, “I need words, pretty girl.”
She blushes in the midst of it all, “Yes, Lan, you can.”
“Perfect” He states before letting his hand gently coax her to sitting position, gliding down her back as her zipper trails with it. When his hands shimmy her dress down her legs, he throws it across the floor, moving to her feet next. He kisses her ankles softly as his fingers work slowly to unbuckle the shoes. When he gets them off, his girlfriend left in a bra and underwear, he moves to the dresser a few feet away. She sits there, exposed, and, while she feels as though she should be on complete alert or scared, she feels at peace. She watches as Lando rummages through his drawer, seeking out his pajamas for her, and she feels nothing but protected and completely loved, accepted by the man before her.
When he returns, her favorite hoodie and sweatpants of his in hand, he helps her into them. When she’s cozy and dressed, he changes into his pajamas in front of her, almost as if he’s trying to put himself at the same level as her. She had undressed in front of him, he undressed in front of her. He didn’t want her to feel as though there was some sort of power dynamic going on, no matter how far that was from the truth of what she was genuinely feeling.
When they’re both comfortable, he leads her into the bathroom and sits her on the counter, his body between her legs before he wipes her makeup off and does her skincare for her. If she wasn’t so emotionally exhausted from the night, she would’ve showered him in praise and a bit of teasing for knowing her routine perfectly, with each step being very clearly memorized. But, this wasn’t an ordinary moment, so she kept quiet as he took care of her. They brushed their teeth together, Lando’s hand keeping its place on her hip in a simple reminder that he was there no matter what.
And when they reached his bed once more, falling under the sheets and heaps of pillows and blankets, Lando brought her into him once more. Her head snuggled into the crook of his neck and his hands trailing up and down her back, he whispered soft words in her ear.
“I love you.”
“I’m so proud of you.”
“There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you.”
“You are my entire life.”
“I will always be there to protect you.”
His words seep into her skin just like anxiety had hours before during one of the worst moments of her life. Though, this time, instead of worrying what would happen happen next or who would come to save her, all she could think of was the soothing hands on her back and the calming words of the man she would never stop loving.
Lando was it for her, if she hadn’t known that before, she knew it now. As he continued to hold her, never once letting her go throughout the entire night, she found solace within him.
And when morning came, the dreaded phone call from the officer who sought out her statement, Lando sat next to her with his hand in hers and his unwavering support shining through.
There genuinely wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for her.
He’d bury a body for her, kill for her.
Preferably, if she allowed him, kill the man who had touched her without consent.

Dad Lando has my whole heart 😭😭😭 could you write something of the drivers first time meeting Amelia? Or her fist time in the paddock?.. anything I just love dad Lando and your writing style 🧡
meet & greet l dad!Lando Norris x reader
The existence of baby Amalia Norris, no middle name just like her dad, was a well known secret, but a secret nonetheless.
There were never rumors about you being pregnant, but when the season started, mechanics and staff of every team, tv channel, you name it, started talking about Lando Norris and how he supposedly had a baby with his girlfriend.
Norris? No way, he's still a child himself
There's no way, the girlfriend would have to raise two babies and she looks smarter than that.
McLaren team members, especially those closer to Lando, were often asked about it by other people, but they were warned by the high commands to keep it private until Lando and you wanted to confirm it. Even if Adam Norris was often gushing about his youngest granddaughter and how she smiled just for him.
Max Verstappen once unwired himself after a reporter asked him about it. Carlos once pretended he didn't hear and the next time he just asked for another question.
The closest people on the grid already met her, she was six months old already and was completely used to the presence of uncle Max, uncle Carlos, uncle Oscar and uncle Danny, others had seen Amalia once or twice, but didn't really have the honorary uncle title.
There were so many talks between you and Lando, him being the most reticent to bringing your daughter to the paddock, not only because of the noises and movements, but someone was going to get a picture eventually, her face being everywhere, on stranger’s camera rolls and Instagram accounts.
"Why don't we make an announcement on our terms, then?"
Lando understood your idea, he really did, but he didn't owe anything to anyone. Yes, in the early months of your relationship he'd be posting stories and pictures to his .jpg account, but he never openly talked about you, your name and relationship was one of the few prohibited subjects for reporters and his PR team made sure everyone knew it.
But, this time was different because this was his daughter, and she was too precious, too beautiful for people to just look at her perfectly shaped face, beautifully colored eyes, adorably cute pout, even when she was drooling from giggling too much or sleeping to deeply.
But it was Silverstone, this wasn’t an ordinary occasion or an ordinary race, it was his home race and this time both you and him knew it was the right time to bring her to the paddock, just for the race day and trying to keep her out of the public’s eyes and constant cameras following his every step.
The night before you were searching her closet to find the perfect outfit for the ever changing English weather. Lando was holding Amalia on his arms, giggling along her as she played with the messy curls on top of his head.
“What do you want to wear for your first race, pretty girl?” Lando asked his daughter who just stared at him and enjoyed the rocking motion of his arms.
A white dress with orange daisies seemed like the perfect option, with one of her daddy’s papaya bucket hats made just for her. It was the perfect outfit for what was going to be a very memorable day.
And of course it was.
At first, fans and press were surprised Lando didn’t arrive on the track with his McLaren, instead his dad was driving a black Mercedes, polarized windows that only caught a glimpse of you through the front glass. Lando made sure everything was fine with the credentials before exiting the car, drawing the attention to himself at the same time Adam prepared the baby stroller and you placed Amalia, laughing at Lando’s dad who refused to give you the stroller.
You shyly waved your hand to the people saying your name, greeting some known faces before finally reaching the McLaren garage, where Zak was the first one to reach Adam and carefully lifting the visor and greeting Amalia who instantly recognized him.
She soon started crying, demanding to be picked up and instantly stopping when she noticed people were staring at her in awe, new faces smiling at her and waving, but the biggest smiled appeared when she noticed her papa, wearing a matching hat and taking her from your arms.
That’s how people got to meet baby Amalia Norris, who sported the same mischievous glint on her eyes, and loudly giggled when uncle Carlos arrived to the papaya garage. He was too patient with her, letting the baby play with his fingers, grab his Ferrari hat, wrap her fists on his hair and Carlos just kept talking as if his niece wasn’t tugging on his hair.
It was all a blur when Lando got to the parc fermé, parking on the big number one place, almost falling from the car before jumping into the crowd of papaya mechanics and staff waiting for him, and everyone noticed how his eyes lit up when he saw his dad and you away from the crowd, with his baby girl clapping her hands and letting out the loudest and happiest giggles, especially when Lando took her from your arms and leaving a loud kiss on her cheek before trying to hide her face on his neck and reaching to you, kissing your lips.
He received his trophy, sang his national anthem and ended the day handing his precious camera to Daniel.
It was already dark, most people were leaving as Lando grabbed your waist with one arm, the trophy with another as you held Amalia in your hip, in front of Lando’s winner car.
lando.jpg: silverstone 2024. do I need to say more?
ps: please do not repost pictures of our daughter online, I’m sharing this because it’s one of the best days of my life and wanted to celebrate with my favorite girls (and my car).

Unfair Of You to Leave Me Behind
Oscar Piastri x Reader
Genre: Angst
Summary: Oscar's world comes crashing down on him in Vegas.
Warnings: Graphic injury descriptions, lashing out in anger, car crash, Lando's 2023 Vegas crash, grief, panic attacks, blood, pregnancy mentions, miscarriage, death
Notes: I'm back to make you cry again. Me and the requester who shall not be named were cackling while coming up with this idea.
Masterlist // Request Form // My Website // buy me a Ko-Fi
Tumblr media
She kisses Oscar when they first wake up. The only way he ever wants to wake up is with her in his arms. Despite the fact that it's the afternoon Vegas sun shining through the window, he could care less.
She's racing today in place of Carlos, and he couldn't be prouder of her. He's devastated that Carlos got injured from that stupid grate, but his girl is driving a Ferrari. He's pretty sure the Spainard will understand.
Oscar laughs softly to himself, recalling the memory or how their 'rivalry' started.
~~~~~
"Carlos! Wait up!"
The Spainard slows his pace and waits for Oscar to catch up. "Hey man, it's not your fault, I didn't give you anywhere to go."
"I'm sorry too, didn't mean to be so... I don't know..."
"Seriously, mate, we all make mistakes on track." Carlos claps him on the back and gives him a reassuring smile. "Was that all? I, unfortunately, have to go he eaten by the media sharks."
Oscar laughs at the comparison. "Actually, I had an idea."
"Oh? Do tell?"
"I thought it might be fun to cause some chaos."
The two males find themselves huddled over Carlos' phone, crafting a petty tweet that will definitely get people's attention.
Thus was the start of their 'rivalry'.
She'd laughed so hard with Lando when they found out. The utter ridiculousness of Oscar being any kind of petty had them in tears.
"Oscar, if you weren't dating my sister for so long, I might believe you."
"Might?! I'm petty when I want to be!" He huffs and crosses his arms.
"Petty? My love, you are the king of unbothered. This thing with Carlos is cute, though!" He pouts in disappointment but quickly forgets about it when her lips meet his. "I wouldn't have you any other way."
~~~~~
Oscar spends his morning (afternoon) complaining about the diet Kim has him on. It's completely unfair. They both sneak a cookie anyway. Giggling as they get away with their crime.
He walks her to the Ferrari garage and drops her off with Charles. He doesn't want to let go; the goodbye kiss is longer than neccecary, and Charles makes a fake gagging sound.
"Shut up, Charlie. Like you don't make out with Max." She waves off Charles indecent noises.
"I'd rather not watch baby Norris get it on. Not when I have to face Lando sooner or later."
Oscar shrugs. "What a way to celebrate his birthday, no?"
"We'd be having a funeral for him if that ever happens." Charles watches them with fondness, leaving each other's embrace for the last time.
Lando teases up until they are forced to separate and head to the grid. A plethora of jokes about Oscar with his sister in Vegas are had. To the point where Oscar manages approximately one indecent joke and Lando shuts up.
"That's my sister, mate."
"And she's my wife, your point?"
~~~~~
Oscar stands nervously at the edge of the water. Daniel and Max keep reassuring him it'll be fine. However, he wouldn't put it past those two to push each other into the water while officiating.
Logan stands beside him. He smiles happily and nods to where she is walking down the beach.
Oscar may be unfazed by most things, but he is only so strong. She looks ethereal walking down the Australian beach in white, flowers decorating her hair.
Lando is the one walking her down the aisle on her request. Both her sisters trail behind her.
It's just their immediate family and a few close friends. It's intimate and small, just the way they wanted it.
Daniel does end up pushing Max into the water. Oscar is to wrapped up in his new bride to notice, let alone care.
His entire world came together that day. Oscar could lose everything but still have her and live the rest of his life a perfectly content man.
~~~~~
The faster her drives, the sooner he can get of this car and go check on Lando. The crash looked awful; like the car just slipped out from underneath him. It's making him more nervous than he would like.
His lover can't be fairing much better, that's her brother. The last thing she needs right now is to be distracted. Which he most definitely is not.
Oscar drives because he can't wait to see her after, to tell her how proud he is. Maybe he'll worship her tonight if she'll let him. If she isn't too exhausted-
The world moves in slow motion. She was ahead of him after his last pit stop. She was running in sixth, he's seventh but they both are lapping cars at this point.
The red Ferrari and the blue of the Williams collide. Oscar is barely able to dodge the debrief flying everywhere.
For a brief second, her car is over his. He wants to reach out to her; grab her and tell her it'll be okay.
Then she's gone.
Oscar hears his engineer talking to him, but he only has one thing on his mind. He stops the car, pulls of the belts off and bolts in her direction. Except it's worse than he imagined. The sight we he turns around is brutal.
The Ferrari is in pieces. The entire front is wrapped around the pieces of wire barrier it took out. The fence is decimated and the car itself is smoking.
Oscar puts himself to work. He can see her, clearly unresponsive. The marshals are talking to him. It's fuzzy, but he knows they are helping.
He tries to pull her out and has to choke back his tears while doing so. Metal rebar from the car sticks into her through her abdomen. Her head lolls to the side like it's been snapped.
Oscar pulls her helmet off instead. He makes eye contact, and shatter. She's trying to talk to him, but it's incomprehensible.
His body is half in the cockpit with her as they cut the car away. He's not being useful now, but they have to understand. This is his entire world bleeding out for everyone to see.
He cups her face tentatively, as gently as he can manage. "Please love, stay with me - please - you did so well, come on love - open your pretty eyes for me." He chokes on broken sobs. He rips his gloves off, longing for the feel of skin of skin. Forehead pressed against hers, he will her to stay awake.
The marshals try to pull her away, but he knows as soon as they do, she's going to start bleeding worse. He screams at them defensively, not sure why, he just needs everyone to leave them alone.
Logan is the one to pull him off with the help of a few others. Oscar whips around out of Logan's grip. "This is your fault!" He regrets the words when they leave his mouth. Logan looks sick, pale and clammy.
~~~~~
Logan sits next to Oscar after filming another video for Prema. He's never been the biggest fan of media, but Logan makes it more fun.
"You gonna ask her out today? Like I suggested a month ago?" Logan wiggles his eyebrows playfully.
Oscar shrugs. He'd been working up the nerve to ask her, but knowing who she's related to scares him a tad. She's out of his league by miles. "Not sure yet."
"Well, she's coming over here right now."
Oscar looks her way and has to fight the urge to cringe when they make eye contact. She is beaming at him. "Hello Oscar and Logan!"
"Hey! You got any plans for tonight?" Oscar reels when Logan sounds like he's going to ask instead. He'll say something like 'You snooze you lose, Piastri' after this encounter is over.
"Not that I know of."
"Great, Oscar doesn't either, He'll meet you tonight at six!"
"Will he be the one talking?"
Logan looks at Oscar and sighs when there is no response. "Hopefully."
"Okay then, I'll see you tonight, Oscar."
He does spin himself after she leaves and shoves Logan's shoulder. He mumbles some kind of thanks before crossing his arms and pouting like a child.
"Bet you she's the one."
And at the time, Oscar had laughed like it was a joke.
~~~~~
He only stops his seething at the distressed American when somebody pulls him away. He wants to push them off and run. He'll sprint to the hospital if he has too-
"Oscar, we're gonna get you there, okay?" Max and Daniel are escorting him off the track. They make no mention of the fact Oscar is converd in her blood.
Andrea tells him he can leave. Kim throws extra clothes at him and his phone. He can't look at it right now. The thought of dealing with any kind of media has him gagging as Max peels out of the parking lot.
He blocks out the drive. He tunes out the voices of Max and Daniel, trying to calm him. He'll be calm when he gets to her. Not a second before.
Oscar fights his way to her room. Determined to see physical evidence that she's okay.
Only, she's not moving.
The door to her room is wide open. Lando is sat curled next to Jon with his own medical equipment attached. His teammate is sobbing into his trainers chest, clutching his sisters limp hand.
Oscar takes tedious steps in. She looks so peaceful, entirely undisturbed. His knuckles run across the cold flesh of her cheek.
A doctor comes in, but he doesn't pay any attention. Not until the confirmation finds its way to his ears.
"I'm sorry for your loss. Both of your losses."
Oscar turns his attention to the doctor. "What do you mean both?" He snaps.
The kind looking woman looks disheartened. It makes Oscar's chest crack further. "She was pregnant. I'm so sorry."
~~~~~
"Osc, seriously, I'm not too worried about it." She wraps her arms around him from behind.
Oscar spins her around so he can see her eyes and peck her lips. "You could be pregnant."
"Or - hear me out - I could be stressed." She cups his face and stares at him with adoration. "I want to have a baby with you - I just - I don't want to get my hopes up, you know?"
"Whatever happens, we're in it together. Baby or stress, we'll figure it out."
She pulls him back to bed despite it almost being the afternoon. "If it's a girl, we should name her after one of our mums."
"And a boy?"
"Jack, after his daddy, the greatest man I've ever met."
~~~~~
Oscar collapses.
He shatters.
He screams until his lungs give out.
He holds her one last time.
He whispers his praise.
Then he watches her leave, taking everything with her.
His world is gone.
The funeral comes around far too fast. The last name on the grave includes his, the hyphenated one. It was her idea to conjoin the two. He wanted to match.
Charles had been around to tell him what actually happened. Both him and Carlos are devestated. The Spainard believes it should've been him.
The sketchy patch jobs over the grates had been quick. Carlos had been the first victim. Oscar's wife had been the second.
The grate hit the underside of the car and knocked it off the racing line. Right after she passed Logan. The American just happened to be close enough that it looked like they collided. He'd just been an innocent bystander in a brutal accident.
The FIA and Ferrari are pinning it on her. The statements made, despite the footage and data, are claiming it a driver error. It makes Oscar sick.
Oscar refuses to go anywhere near a track until the FIA own up to their actions. So does Lando, Max, Charles, Daniel, and Carlos.
They get everyone to take a stand. Soon enough, there are no drivers to put on a show.
The FIA has nothing. They took everything away from Oscar, so he did it right back.
~~~~~
A year goes by too quickly. He feels like it was yesterday that she was kissing him goodluck. Now she's a Ferrari reserve, getting ready to test the car.
He's fretting over her like a mother hen, but he can't help it! He might actually cry prideful tears over how proud he is of her.
He always kisses her in case it's the last time.
~~~~~
Oscar kneels over her grave. Logan sits beside him, arranging flowers in the shape of a heart.
The Aussie had cried his apologies to his best friend as soon as he found out what happened.
He's been winning races left and right for a few years now. Lando and him have dominated. He's not got a title yet, but Lando does. Her brother has dedicated it to her. They are both winning for her. He wishes she was here to see it.
"You were right Lo, she was the one."

maybe some of the drivers think certain drivers aren’t in on it and one night there is some miscommunication about who is coming over what night and oscar is there and george shows up and is like “OSCAR?! sweet little baby faced innocent OSCAR PASTRY?!!” and it is the first time reader has 2 people , without one of them being lando…… (lando is still watching of course) just some silly little thoughts tho
i just typed out like a 1k blurb to this and it vanished. so im trying to recreate it but its not the same.
george is new to the party, but oscar’s one of the first ones and he’s been fucking her for the entire season pretty much. after max and carlos, he’s next in line. since they’ve been going at it so long and since lando’s not always available, he’s been given the green flag to take care of her if lando’s not around and he is. they’re a little closer than the rest of the grid and george assumed they’re just friends and teammates, doesn’t even think baby faced oscar would be included in this little secret. but he’s very very wrong.
she’d wake up from a wet dream and hear voices coming from the suite’s living room and seek them out, pleasantly surprised when she finds oscar, the subject of her dream, spread across the couch, lando’s on one end and oscar’s laying on the chaise lounge portion, looking just as dreamy with the setting sun streaming through the windows and she’s happy to take a seat on his lap. the movie they’d been watching would immediately be forgotten when she walks into the room in nothing but one of lando’s tees and straddles oscar, hands cupping his cheeks as she leans down for a kiss and rocks her hips against his. lando’s eyes shift focus from the tv to his girlfriend and teammate next to him as they make out and dry hump until she’s coming apart on his sweats, then he’s fingering her until she’s cum again and is begging to ride him.
oscar’s slipping inside of her as the credits roll and she’s slowly riding him as she tells him about her dream, fingers tangled in the hair on the nape of his neck to hold his head back as she kisses and nips at his neck, refraining from leaving any marks despite how bad she wants to. they’d both completely forget about the keycard lando had given george that morning, both of them too lost in her riding oscar until george is unlocking the door. her and oscar wouldn’t even notice the disruption, she’s on her way to a fourth orgasm and he’s already came in her once, and she’s begging for it a second time. lando does though, he hears the lock clicking and the door handle opening and jumps up to block his girlfriend in the compromising position, but relaxes when he sees it’s just george.
george would hear the moans as the door opened and think lando and his girl got started without him, but then he steps inside and sees- wait, is that oscar? sweet little pastry boy? what is he doing? george is frozen in place as he takes in the sight in front of him; lando’s girl riding oscar as they moan into each other’s mouths, filthy words falling from both their lips. he’s got one hand around her throat and the other between her legs as he tells her how good she is for him, how good she makes him feel, tells her he loves her cunt, with a groan and that word makes george’s ears burn. she’s moaning back the same thing, one hand braced on his shoulder for support and the other tangled in his hair as she begs him to make her cum, begs him to cum for her again, says she needs to feel it. again.
george would realize then that they’re not using a condom, that she’s begging another man to cum inside of her, and he feels a little faint. he’d watch in shock and awe as they cum together when she drops her hips down one final time before her orgasm hits her and then she’s shaking and moaning on top of him as he pulls his hand from her throat and drops it to her hip and the starts lifting her up and down on top of him until he’s spilling inside of her and she’s thanking him for it before she kisses him hotly.
he’s struck by how comfortable they are, how comfortable lando is with how intimate they’re being as her hand on his shoulder drifts down to her lower stomach and his joins her, both of them laughing in a post orgasm haze until lando whistles behind them and they both jerk away from their kiss to look for him. that’s when they finally notice george is in the room, and she grins stupidly at him as oscar pulls her closer possessively and presses his lips to her skin as he stares george in the eyes, clearly happy to be seen buried inside of her. she at least looks like she feels a little bad as she mumbles, “sorry, i forgot you were coming.”
oscar snickers, “i didn’t know you were coming.” then he pats the spot next to him with one hand and grabs her jaw with the other to pull her back for another kiss. “wanna make georgie feel good now, baby?” he asks when he pulls away and she nods eagerly. george’s face twitches in annoyance at the almost mocking tone and at the new petname the younger driver’s just given him and moves to sit on the couch. lando slaps a condom on his chest as he passes and he resists rolling his eyes as he takes the rubber packet. he’s clearly got a lot to learn, and wonders if anyone else is allowed to do what oscar does, he doesn’t know who else is fucking her, he’s talked to one or two other drivers but he thought it was a rarity, not a regular thing. but the comfortability between the trio makes jealousy bubble in his stomach as the realization that they’ve clearly been involved much longer than he’s been included hits him.
oscar passes her over to him, his cum dripping onto george’s thighs as he rolls on the condom and she slides on top of him with a whimper. he’s got something to prove as he fucks oscar’s cum into her while the younger man watches with a wicked grin, patiently waiting for his next turn.

rip gax genderbent au lmao because sadly i just type away and don't save any of the stuff i write. but its all good i can def retype since the gax brainrot is permanent ahem. im just happy i can write away gax stuff in your inbox mwah tysm.
so mixing up gax genderbent with the highschool au. think of uptight "good girl" georgie who is the head of student council but will absolutely get into a verbal smack down with a teacher if she gets below an A on a paper for which she knows she deserves more for. georgie whose skirts are always perfectly knee length but definitely likes showing off those long golden legs during track and field practice. georgie who always wants and tries to make her parents proud (brocedes ofc sorry pt 2) but goes out of her way to terrorise an embarrass her younger brother lando especially in front of his new shy but adorable australian gf. little miss perfect who always toes at the line of rebellion and mischief without ever truly crossing it. that is until she chooses to completely erase it when she began dating her "sworn enemy" and resident bad boy max fucking verstappen. no one had seen that one coming. - xoxo angst anon
(max who is a secret nerd on honour roll and follows a strict curfew, he just likes leather jackets and street racing okay, leave him alone he's just a baby)
And you are forever free to write whatever gax brainrot comes to mind in my asks cause I love reading it. thnx u for perfectly retyping this mwah 😚
But George and Lando would be the most amazing sibling pairing. They would just be insults and arguing 24/7 and would very much make it all of their friends problems. God and with brocedes as parents. Worlds most chaotic family. Lando would definetlget paired up with Oscar for some class project and fall so hard so quickly not realizing that Georgie mentors her for like student council or something
God Georgie being that overachiever in school who’s just doing everything somehow. Student council president, top of her classes, tutors other kids. She’s always problem dressed. They would go to the most lax private academy and she would still show up to dressed like there was an official uniform with her skirt past her knees and her hair always slicked back in her neat high ponytail.
Versus bad boy Max with his leather jackets and expensive car. Who always getting in trouble with teachers for his rather blunt attitude and seems like he constantly late and never paying attention yet he’s still getting similar (and sometimes better) grades than Georgie and is in all honors classes.
Just fully back to the trashy romance book I read when I was younger 😩 He’s her little brother best friend and they argue constantly. And he just sees through her little miss perfect act so easily (Max is most definitely dragging a tipsy George off a countertop during a party i don’t make the rules)

Nick Smith. Metropolitan (1990)
Tumblr media
In interviews, people are often surprised that Chris Eigeman is nothing like his character in Metropolitan, which I find odd. Having seen the majority of his filmography before watching this one, I expected to see the Baby Muppets version of Jason Stiles or Max Belmont, but this is a completely different character.
Tumblr media
He radiates a manic energy that you don’t really see in a lot of his other roles—a quality made especially interesting when the character Jane accuses him of acting unforgivably weird:
“We know you’re a hypocrite…That you’re totally impossible and out of control with some sort of drug problem and a fixation on what you consider Rick Von Slonaker’s wickedness. You’re a snob, a sexist, totally obnoxious and tiresome, and lately you’ve gotten just weird.”
Tumblr media
He also doesn’t do nearly as much eye acting in this role, which I will attribute to the fact that the majority of the movie was comprised of overnight shoots and the actors were all apparently exhausted.
Tumblr media
Unlike with Disco and a few other movies on the list, I actually got the Criterion Collection release and watched the alternate casting of Will Kempe in the role of Nick, and I initially found myself thinking he was the obvious choice for the character. I probably would have cast him instead of Chris Eigeman, and the world would have been worse for it. Having given the movie a few more rewatches (it’s seriously so good) I can no longer see anyone else in the role of Nick, and I have to wonder how much of Vincent Kartheiser’s portrayal of Pete Campbell or even Michael Gladis’ portrayal of Paul Kinsey was based on Nick’s worst qualities.
Tumblr media
Ranking: 7. This young porcelain doll will flirt with you all week and then sleep with the sluttiest girl in your friend group even though she’s thirsting after his arch nemesis!
Fun Synchronicity:
1.) This is the only movie on the list that was nominated for an Academy Award (Best Original Screenplay) which was a Billy Crystal year.  In the Gilmore Girls episode “Afterboom,” Jason refers to what’s happening to him as “one of those crazy, not so funny Billy Crystal at the Oscars kind of jokes.”
2.) In the Gilmore Girls episode “Tick, Tick, Tick, Boom!,” Lorelai tells everyone how Jason did the cha-cha at a summer camp talent show, a dance with which Nick Smith is all too familiar.

Evander Wade Hate AU - Chapter 11
MasterList for Evander Wade Hate AU 
Word Count: 2037
This is a fic where Evander Wade is secretly the villain purely because I don’t like him and also I’m fixing some of my biggest problems with canon because this is what fanfiction is for.
------------
The next morning, after his dads left for work, Adrian went into the office upstairs and carefully started looking around. It's not like they had cameras inside and it wasn't like his dads kept anything in the office locked.
At least nothing that Adrian couldn't unlock by drawing the key or by drawing lock picking tools and watching a video online.
They weren't going to suddenly come back home either. They had been delighted that Adrian had found the Vitality Charm in the house, though he gave Nova the credit, and of course they wanted to go spend plenty of time with Max now that they had the ability to.
Carefully, he moved around papers and looked between files, trying to wrack his brain for where they kept the lists of passwords as he knew that they kept the password for the wifi in the office somewhere.
Adrian went into one of the cabinets and opened it to find a small lock box. He recognized it as something his dads had used when he was once looking for the password for the at home computer so he could play Club Penguin.
Adrian grabbed a pen from off the desk and took out the ink cartridge. He then poured it into the lock hole and when he used his powers, it turned into a hollow key that he then made a handle for and attached to the solidified ink.
Adrian turned the handle and filtered through the passwords until he found the one he was looking for. Of course the Renegades Council couldn't have an individual password for each different restricted case file so instead there was one password that worked for all of them.
Adrian grabbed a sticky note and scribbled it down before shoving it in his pocket and relocking the box, putting everything back where it belonged and leaving like nothing happened.
Adrian tossed the key into the table of his nightstand and then got dressed before texting Danna to come over after she ate breakfast. No one on their team had patrol today as minors didn't have it as often as adults and had more days off as a result.
Danna: Okay. 
Danna: Also do you like apples and peanut butter because my dad made me some but it's way too much for me. Should I bring it over?
He laughed. That sounded like a lot of his texts from Danna about her dad. He usually worked the night shift so when Danna got up was when he was going to bed so he was sure to always make her breakfast before doing so.
Adrian: Sure. I was just going to eat cereal.
Danna: Well you can have it with your cereal then.
Danna: You probably need to eat way more then I do anyways. You're too tall. 
Danna: You're my younger brother so you should do me the favor of shrinking so I can be taller and people know I'm older.
Adrian rolled his eyes. She was only older then him by a few months and she flaunted it every chance she got. Of course as her younger brother he didn't not do anything to annoy her either.
Adrian: You're not even a year older.
Danna: But I am older though.
Adrian: Maybe we can find something in the Artifacts that will shrink me. How's that?
Danna: It's what you should make my next birthday gift.
Adrian: Noted.
He then went to the kitchen and poured some cereal into a bowl. He ate and finished by the time Danna arrived. She just let herself in and came up next to him, sitting at one of the barstools at the island in the kitchen and dropping her bag on the countertop.
"Here," she said, pulling out a plastic container that had some apple slices and peanut butter in it. They slid across the counter to where he was.
"I have what you need as well," Adrian said, taking out the piece of paper and giving it to her.
"Oh good. I can give this to Narcissa then after we work out a plan with Nova," she said, putting it in her bag.
"Narcissa?" Adrian asked as he dipped the apple into the peanut butter. "You mean the mirror walker from the library? Gene Cronin's granddaughter?"
He wasn't sure why she was part of this or why she wasn't mentioned beforehand at their group meeting.
"Yeah that's her. It's a long story but she's willing to work with us and it's way better to have someone who isn't a Renegade at all grab the information because it takes any suspicion off of us if we play our cards right," Danna explained.
Like most times, his older sister wasn't wrong. She was extremely clever and perceptive which is what made her such a great lookout. Her and Nova made a great team whenever they got the chance and usually saved the rest of their team's asses from things they didn't even notice because they had been too wrapped up in the main objective of their mission.
He was glad that the two of them got along well. He wouldn't want his sister and his girlfriend fighting.
"Why didn't you say anything about her earlier when we were at your place?" Adrian asked.
"Because I didn't want to freak out Nova. Apparently they know each other and it didn't end on great terms so I told Nova ahead of time. That's why I wanted to talk to her alone," Danna explained. "How is she doing by the way? You know after leaving and all that?"
"She seemed really relieved and more relaxed which is good but there was a bit of a struggle with Honey that would have been a lot worse without the Vitality Charm," Adrian explained. 
He shivered at the thought of what happened. It looked very painful and the way she cried and screamed and thrashed, something that was completely unlike her whenever she had gotten seriously injured before, only amplified the idea that it must have been one of the worst forms of pain to go through. He felt awful that the rubbing alcohol made it worse but it wasn't like either of them knew any better.
Adrian just wished he could have taken the pain away faster and done more besides just holding her to help give her some comfort.
"Is she alright?" Danna asked. "I mean enough venomous stings and it can kill you."
"She was doing a lot better after we managed to clean it up and let the Vitality Charm take over. I mean I gave her painkillers but I could only help her so much. Honey dipped the stingers in something and we found that out the hard way."
Danna cringed. "That had to be bad."
"Yeah I don't think I've ever seen her react that badly to pain before but it was pretty much gone by the time she left late last night."
Danna raised a brow and smirked. 
"Oh so you had your girlfriend over late last night?" She said cheekily. "Did you use protection?"
Adrian groaned and covered his face with his hands.
"Danna," he complained. "You're so mean to me. Stop bullying me. I'm your brother."
"That's exactly why I bully you," she said.
"What did I ever do to you?" Adrian asked before eating another apple slice.
"You exist that's what."
He swallowed the slice.
"That's not my fault! I didn't ask to exist!"
"And? Your point?" Danna asked. "Now spill on what you did with Nova."
"This is an invasion of privacy," Adrian said. He was not going to fork over every detail of his love life to his sister.
"I'm your sister and I'm invested in this so I need to know. If you don't tell me then I'll just get the answers out of Nova and who would you rather tell me?" She bargained.
Adrian sighed. "If I tell you do you promise to leave me alone about it?"
"Sure," Danna said. "Pinky promise."
She held out her hand with her pinky extended and he shook it with his own. It was completely childish but pinky promises were pinky promises and that wasn't something you broke.
"So after I patched her up and when she was mostly healed we made out but then we went and played some Uno."
"Anything else? Like did you get in her pants?"
"DANNA!" He exclaimed, cheeks flaming. She could embarrass him so much sometimes and when it came to his love life and relationship she was always very curious and liked to dig into it. Usually she let him have his privacy but he also supposed that dating a girl she was friends with made her want to know a lot about what was happening. 
"Hey I need to make sure my baby brother can actually flirt and is good with his partners," she defended. "Now come on it's okay to tell me."
"I feel like this is an invasion of Nova's privacy and I shouldn't even have told you what I have," Adrian defended. He didn't want to make Nova feel uncomfortable about it or talk about what happened the night before even if it wasn't like any clothes came off.
"Adrian you do realize that girls confide in one another about these things right? Like if someone in the group is dating someone, whenever something happens, the other girls are going to know. Now give me the details."
Danna probably wasn't wrong about that. Danna and Ruby were always whispering and giggling with one another and once Nova got added into the team they didn't exclude her from it. They just never let Oscar and Adrian participate in the conversation.
"We didn't do anything else Danna," He told her. 
That was all that happened. It got heated for a moment but neither of them wanted more then that and it was perfectly okay. He was glad that she didn't start shaking from so much contact which was an improvement, but other then that there wasn't much to really talk about. 
Adrian wasn't going to tell Danna about how Nova was cute when she was all flustered and embarassed and how her laugh was one of the prettiest things he had ever heard.
But Adrian didn't think Danna would really want to hear about every little thing he liked about his girlfriend.
"Okay so you're horny but in the most boring way possible," Danna snorted as he finished the apples.
Adrian took the last one and threw it at her. She dodged but it still hit her shoulder instead of her forehead like he was aiming for.
"Leave me alone and don't you dare tell anyone about this. Not even Oscar and Ruby. If you make Nova upset or uncomfortable I'll end you."
Adrian did not want Nova to feel like her privacy had been invaded. Knowing Nova she probably didn't care but last night was a big step for both of them and he didn't need to risk someone overhearing and finding out and telling everyone.
"I won't tell anyone. Besides, if I find out you made her uncomfortable or if you break her heart then I'll end you."
"Hey I'm your brother!" He said. "Shouldn't you side with me if we broke up?"
"You may be my brother but I refuse to have a perverted asshole as my brother," she said as she took the apple slice and tossed it into the trash can.
"Trust me I don't plan on ever hurting her. I care about her too much for that."
Danna made a gagging face.
"Eww. Gross. Go be in love with Nova somewhere else."
Adrian rolled his eyes. "You asked about my relationship with her."
"Whatever," Danna said, putting the container back in her bag. "Do you want to go play video games? I feel like kicking your ass in a game is relaxing and right now I think I need to relax."
"Sure," Adrian agreed. "Dibs on the blue controller!" He added before sprinting downstairs.
"Not if I get it first you little shit!" Danna yelled as she chased after him as butterflies into his room in the basement.

Well, i have an idea. Remember that anon who preposed an au for parenthood? That one were charlie died? Yeah, so what about lefty find charlie as a ghost! And charlie ends up sticking around, making up for missed time with ber dad, trying to lay out clues for the detectives doing her case to find, ya know, all that stuff!
Charlie didn’t understand certain things, her father had always called her the smartest girl. She didn’t understand why she couldn’t follow her father home.
The pizzeria was closing up for the day, Charlie watched Max sweeping the floors around the tables, Alec and Oscar were wiping down tables.
And her father sat in the corner.
His eyes fixed on nothing, he looked lost. She noticed over time he didn’t look happy anymore, he also looked sick constantly, with his skin almost white now, his eyes cast over with misery.
Charlie knew based on what she heard is that she was dead, but she didn’t understand, she saw her father, why couldn’t he see her?
Was he so sad because he couldn’t see her? She had tried to get him to see her but he never seem to, all she remembered was the hurt, and seeing her green shirt was turning red, then she saw her father in front of the pizzeria with her uncle Matt and Toby, bawling his eyes out with the police taping off the alley as a “crime scene” that's what they called it.
Francois approached Lefty, looking anxious, he didn’t know to communicate with him now, and he was worried about saying the wrong thing, “Look... you don’t need to keep coming here... I'd understand if you want more time.”
“How much more time?” Lefty asked him, snapping from his emotionless state, “How much? My daughter has been dead for four months, no one has been held responsible, I took my eyes away for a minute and some bastard snatched her and killed her outside...”
“No, no, you can’t keep beating yourself up for this... you can’t... it's not your fault,” Francois shook his head.
“Not my fault? Not my fault? I looked away and some person murdered her... how can I live with that knowledge?? If I never looked away she'd still be alive!” Lefty shouted, tears forming in his eyes as he recalled the first thought of him wondering where his daughter was, then looking outside and seeing the nightmare he had since that day.
“Don’t cry, Daddy...” She said, but it appeared he couldn’t hear her because he'd never ever ignore her on purpose.
“Lefty!!” Charlie turned to see Alec had completely stopped what he was doing, “Listen to me. This. Is. Not. Your. Fault.”
“Some evil person decided to hurt, by killing her, there were many times my parents didn’t look out for me and look what happened when I was fifteen, that man took advantage of an opportunity, as did this person,” Alec explained
Lefty sniffled then said: “That was different, your parents are bad—”
“No, stop. Lefty, I understand you miss her, I miss her too,” Charlie saw he was crying but he kept talking, “We all miss her, she was a sweet innocent girl and like you once explained to me, sometimes people just want to hurt other people because they want to see someone else suffering.”
“Alec, what can I do... what can I do... WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?!” Charlie gasped, her father had said a bad word. Lefty was angrily staring down Alec who didn’t even look fazed, Charlie would compare Lefty's expression now to the time the bully at the playground shoved her and he saw it as it happened less than five feet from him.
“My daughter is gone, she was murdered! Therapy isn’t helping and the police have no clues!!” He was on the brink of sobbing but he held it back, he had cried at breakfast and he felt all cried out after four months, all he felt now was hurt.
Charlie wished she could talk to the police, she remembered the scary shadow man who had the knife had a purple car, she didn’t like purple, she thought it was a yucky colour, her favourite colour was green, like Alec, which is why he was kind of like her older brother. She remembered when she used purple once to paint a rainbow because she saw Alec had a strange rainbow stripe badge on his bag one day and she thought it was so pretty.
“Because you have fixated on the fact you think this is your fault.”
“Alec's right,” Max said, “Ye need to take some time.”
“No, no, I hate being alone at home,” Lefty shook his head, “I see her room and her toys, I hear her laugh, her bedroom is the same, I wake up everyday and she is still gone... I wake up everyday and I'm still hurting.”
Charlie did miss her toys, especially her black bear plushie which she always hugged when she went to bed, she had it as long as she could remember.
“When is your next therapy session?” Alec asked Lefty.
“Tomorrow at eleven.”
“Then I'm taking you home now, you'll have something to eat, try and sleep and you're going tomorrow at eleven.”
“You're really taking charge aren’t you?” Oscar questioned.
“Someone has to, nothing is going to change,” Alec immediately responded.
Nothing is going to change.
Charlie had to change this somehow, she knew that she didn’t want to see her father so sad.
“Daddy?” She walked up to him, “It was a purple car, the scary man has a purple car.”
Lefty shook his head, “I hate living... I hate it...”
“It was purple Daddy!”
“I don’t know anything anymore.”
“Lefty, please follow me, I'll do you a favour and take you home.”
“Purple car! Purple car!” She followed him yelling at him.
“It was a purple car!!” She reached up and grabbed his hand.
He froze suddenly.
“A... A purple car...” He said sounding confused.
“What? There's no purple car outside,” Alec said to him.
“I feel like... it's important...”
“No one we know owes a purple car,” Max countered, “Yer car is silver, Alec drives a dark red car, mine is also red, Francois drives dark blue.”
Lefty turned and looked down at his hand, the hand which Charlie grabbed, it was like he was seeing Charlie, she reached out her arms to him, just wanting him to hug her.
“Why did my hand just feel warm for a minute?”
“Lefty do you need a Doctor because I have no idea what I'm supposed to do for you?” Alec looked dumbfounded by what was happening.
Lefty looked around, “Was... Was there a purple car outside the pizzeria on the day Charlie was killed?” He asked then looked around like he wanted somebody to answer.
They all looked around, none of them appeared to have an answer.
Max then said, “I... I saw a purple car.... no licence plate.. in the morning, but she was killed afternoon during the storm and I didn’t see it again...”
“You didn’t tell the police because???” Her father looked angry again.
“I told em, they didn’t think it was important.”
“I want to know who the hell killed my baby girl, I want to know who it was.”
“I'll look in the security cameras again Lefty... but you should go home,” Francois said.
“Don’t forget to grab your bag.”
Lefty had grabbed his bag, he opened it to take out the black bear plushie, he had always kept near him now, it reminded him of the happier times of her being a bouncy clingy baby, the days where she slept on his stomach and he had to stay still until she woke, the days when she'd wake up, and the way it would feel special when she chose to talk to someone.
He held it in his hand, following Alec, Charlie stepped up and grabbed ahold of his hand.
Lefty had froze briefly, he looked down and swore he saw something at his feet.
On instinct, he grabbed hold and he felt something holding his hand.
Charlie followed her father home, where she knew.
She noticed he looked slightly happier.
“Daddy will always love you Charlotte... My baby... my baby girl...” He spoke at the black bear plushie.
She had left her place of death and was back to the place she loved.
It wasn’t even a real place.
It was just her father holding her hand and guiding her.
Lefty felt like he was holding onto his baby girl.
And this time he didn’t want to let go, he felt like Charlotte wouldn’t either.

This is insanely late, but I finally finished up my fic for the Renegades Fic Exchange, hosted by @narcissacronin and @ruby-assassin! It’s for @onecannotbebravewhohasnofear with the prompt of “something with Callum.” I hope you like it! <3
SUPERNOVA SPOILERS!
And AU where Callum survived Supernova, and all the team is grown up. It’s Giving Thanks Day, and Nova is completely overhwelmed with preparations, so Callum offers to babysit the kids. 
Word Count- 1728
Callum turned the lock, patting the granda victorian doors fondly. The wooden sign above them read “Treadwell’s Treasures.” The name had been an offhand thought of Nova’s. Though Maggie has scoffed, Callum thought it was charming. And so, the three of them had pooled their money, and bought Callum his dream museum. The museum hosted a wide variety of historical objects and presentations. The council even let Callum showcase many of the unused prodigy objects in the artifacts room, under the condition that they could access them at any time they needed. 
Treadwell’s Treasures was his favorite place to be in the world, hence why it had been open even today, a national holiday. Giving Thanks Day was to honor the gifts they had. It was a holiday that Callum himself had suggested to the Council, and they’d readily agreed.
There was a beep, and Callum looked down at his Renegade watch. He picked it up, and was met with a distressed Nova yelling at someone “no the other pot, there’s already something in that one!”
“Nova, are you okay?” Callum could sense the anxiety and Nova’s overwhelmed state of being through the phone. 
“Hi Callum, it just wanted to remind you that dinner’s at- Andromeda please don’t touch that it’s hot!”
“Dinner?” From the sound of it, that was the last thing Callum expected Nova to tell him about. 
“Yes it’s at 5… OSCAR PLEASE-”
“Do you need a hand?”
“Oh no you don’t have to do that,” There was a bang and a squeal that sounded suspiciously like Oscar in the background. It sounded like Callum did to do that. “I’ll be there in 10!” Callum reponsonded brightly, before hanging up and jogged to his bike. 
Callum never went anywhere by car, he believed that saving the environment was in the small things. He also always wore a helmet, which he buckled now.
Passing through the streets, Callum admired the improvement the Council had made to the dilapidated suburbs. The project was a huge undertaking, and when he had time Callum liked to help the effort. Though the main priority was making them safe to live in, Callum liked it when  the helpers repainted a house a bright color. The reds, yellows, greens, and blues really brightened the atmosphere of the whole place.
Callum turned a corner, smiling at people as he passed. Soon he neared a pretty, light blue house. Parking his bike, he knocked on the door.
Nova opened it, and promptly ushered him in.
“Happy Giving Thanks Day!” She began to hug him, but a “Nova! The pasta is on fire!” quickly recalled her back to the kitchen.
Callum wasn’t alone for long, only moments passed before a little girl came to hug his legs.
“Uncle Callum!” She squealed. He laughed, swinging her up over his head. She shrieked gleefully and he kissed her cheek. Callum loved when Nova’s kids called him Uncle, even if they were by no way related. 
“Andromenda! How’ve you been? How’s Bear?”
Andromeda showcased her stuffed cat proudly. “He got a cut above his eye, but I gave him stitches myself. Callum peered at the stitching. “Wow! You're going to have to give me lessons! I ripped my pants yesterday gardening, can you fix those too?”
Andromeda considered, before nodding, determined. “I’ll fix them!”
“Whew, what would I do without you.” He set her down, and she scampered off to find Nina, Oscar and Ruby’s daughter.
“Callum! Nova said I would find you here.” Adrian clapped his shoulder. The two exchanged greetings as Adrian led him to the back room. “Thank you so much for offering to help out, it’s really hectic- Oscar, his mom, and Ruby’s parents and grandmother are all in the kitchen trying to cook over each other while she leads them, and Ruby and I are busy setting the table and finishing up decorations… it’ll only be for a half hour before my dads and everyone else come and they’ll be fine on their own.”
“It’s no problem! I’m glad to help.” Callum responded, and Adrian sighed in relief. 
“Thank you so much.” He ran off to find Ruby again, and Callum was left with the kids.
There were three jumping kids, and one in a bucket seat. Andromeda and Nina, the 6 year olds, and Lucas, Ruby and Oscar’s 4 year old son. The one in the bucket seat began to cry, so Callum went over to pick the child up. Cradling the baby, he looked down and bopped it’s nose.
“Why are you so sad Diana?” He cooed, moving around a little bit to soothe her. Diana waved one little fist, sucking on the other. Callum caught the first, and enclosed it in his hand. Diana made a gasping sound, and her eyes widened as she wondered where her fist had gone. Callum smiled, and opened his hand. The little girl goggled at her newly reappeared hand, tears forgotten. Callum bounced her a little, and reached over to get the sash from the table. He handed the little girl to Andromeda for a moment, and put the sash over one shoulder and under the other. He took the baby back and settled her in the hammock like space that was made before turning to face the other children.
“Lucas, Nina! I believe it’s been a full week since I saw you last. Have you been good for your parents?”
The two bounced on the balls on their feet, nodding profusely. Callum smiled at them. “I’ve been good too!” Andromeda piped up. Callum laughed, and dug around in his pocket. Pulling out his hand, he extended it towards the three and opened it. The squealled gleefully when they saw the little caramel chews. Callum mimed a shushing motion, “your parents won’t be very happy since caramel gets stuck in your teeth, but a little extra sweetness has done nothing but help people.” 
“Thank you Uncle Callum!” They chorused, unwrapping them eagerly. 
Diana gurgled, and Callum reached over to grab her bottle. “I didn’t forget you.” He reassured, handing it to her.
“What were you doing before?” He asked when the candies had been eaten.
“We were playing family.” Andromeda informed. 
“I was the baby.” Nina complained, crossing her arms. “I wanted to be the dog!” She exclaimed, “And plus we already have a baby.”
“But Diana can’t play with us, and not every family has a dog.” Andromeda reasoned.
“I’m the Dad.” Lucas stuck his chest out proudly, looking at Andromeda for approval. She was too busy arguing with Nina though. Callum told Lucas he looked very manly.
“Well I can’t see why Nina can’t be a dog, not every couple has a child. Look at Aunt Danna and Aunt Narcissa!”
Nina began to grin, and Andromeda paused, considering.
“Well, they don’t have a dog either.” She said, as if that settled it. 
“That’s because Auntie Narcissa is allergic to dogs.” Lucas pointed out. “If she wasn’t they might!”
“Oh…” 
Callum was a little lost on the logic of toddlers, but could sense it was going to work itself out.
“Does that mean I can be a dog?” Nina was looking between them, equally lost. 
Andromeda didn’t answer, eyebrows furrowed, but Lucas told his sister that of course she could.
“Yay!” Nina jumped up and down.
“Wait, what’s Uncle Callum going to be?” Andromeda asked.
Callum considered, “the next door neighbor?”
“You can be the grandpa!” Lucas giggled, and Callum laughed, joining the game.
~*~
 Once the company began to arrive, they all congregated in the living room. Danna, Narcissa, Maggie, Ruby’s brother’s, Max were all there. After the battle, the last four had become a Renegades team, along with another girl (who couldn't make it tonight.) Hugh and Simon were in their way, as well as Leroy and Danna’s parents. 
Callum took a seat next to Maggie. She and the boys from her team were engaged in a very serious game of Connect 4. It was Maggie and Max against the twins.
Callum whispered something in Maggie’s ear. She grinned and a moment later, she and Max had the twins beat.
“No fair! They cheated!” Jade pointed at him accusingly, but Max and Maggie couldn't hear of the sound of their whooping.
The two hours passed in a joyous blur of talking, friends, and intense games of Uno (Danna won every time.)
Food was served, and the rest of the guests came, the meal was ended, people left to play games in the other room, and an exhausted Nova took a seat next to him.
“How are you feeling?” He asked, taking a bite.
“Aaaaaah.” Nova yell sighed. Callum pat her hand. “This is all amazing, you’ve done an outstanding job.” He reassured. She smiled at him.
“Hosting is hard,” she admitted. “It’s all much better now that I’m sitting though.”
“I wouldn’t know.” He laughed. “Well, I hosted a museum, but that’s very different.”
“Speaking of, how’s your Day of Triumph exhibition going?”
Callum nodded. “Very well, I think the people will walk out understanding both sides, the losses of both, and how it didn’t stop further problems- though a victory nonetheless.”
Nova nodded, fingers tapping her glass. “Are you doing another one of the ‘stand really still and look like a statue’ fundraisers soon? Because Narcissa loved it.”
“She did tell me that afterwards, also she said she had some good books I could borrow for my next exhibit.”
“That’s great!”
There was a pause of silence, before Nova said, “Thank you for coming over and watching the kids today. I know they’re a handful, but it was a huge help.”
Callum just smiled and waved it away. “Anytime, and it was no problem! Love the kids.”
Nova stood up. “You’re the best. Now I have to go wash the dishes.”
Ruby popped her head in the room. “Danna and I have got the dishes!”
Nova looked doubtful. “Clear the table…”
“Adrian did that.” Ruby informed.
“Oh!” Nova was surprised and clearly relieved. Callum gave her a gentle push towards the living room, where Adrian and her other friends were waiting for her on the couch. “Go!” 
Callum watched her sit and give Adrian a kiss on the cheek with content. His friends were happy, Gatlon was on the rise, and all was at peace in the world. He was most definitely thankful.

February 1, 2021: Dirty Dancing (1987)
There are two people to credit for the beginning of this month. The first is my girlfriend, who asked that I represent her with this GIF.
Tumblr media
Thank you, dear. Anyway, this is one of her favorite romance films, and she’s also not a big romance movie person. She was shocked that I hadn’t seen it, and that’s because of the second person to credit here: my Mom.
Tumblr media
That is my Mom in the late ‘80s with her Pomeranian, Pugsley. Yup. This is just the GODDAMN SURFACE of my Mom, who’s quirky as shit. Love her for it, though. But, OK, why is my Mom involved here? Because this is also one of her favorite films. My Dad’s, too, but I’ll talk more about him in April.
However, if you read the Romance February introduction from yesterday, you might be wondering something. If my Mom’s taste in romance movies was so prevalent in my early life, how in the hell have I never seen this movie, one of her favorites? Especially considering the fact that, TMI here, but I WAS BORN TO THE FILM’S SOUNDTRACK. YES. REALLY. HOW HAVE I ESCAPED THIS MOVIE?
Tumblr media
Yup. No clue. Shall we remedy that? SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Recap
Tumblr media
It’s 1963 in the Catskills, where Frances “Baby” Houseman (Jennifer Grey), a politically conscious young woman on her way into the Peace Corps, is going on vacation with her parents, Jake and Majorie Houseman (Jerry Orbach and Kelly Bishop), and her sister, Lisa (Jane Brucker). The owner, Max Kellerman (Jack Weston), who’s a friend of the Housemans, welcomes them to the resort.
Later that night, Max is briefing the young male waiters and entertainment, all of whom are hired from Ivy League universities. Well...except for the intriguing young dance instructor in the sunglasses. THAT...would be Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze).
Tumblr media
I wanna just say before I forget, I miss Patrick Swayze. He’s awesome, and he left far too soon.
The next night, during dinner, Max introduces Baby to his grandson, Neil (Lonny Price), who’s just graduated from Cornell’s Hotel Management school. A school which, for the record, is the best hotel school in the USA, and second or third in the world. Also, hotelies (that’s what we called them) are CRAZY. They’re an interesting...bunch...
I, uh... I went to CornellMOVING ON
Tumblr media
As Neil awkwardly hits on Baby, everybody encourages them having a relationship, despite her CLEARLY not wanting any of this. She instead watches Johnny skillfully mambo with another girl on center floor. After being roped into a magic act by Neil, and given a chicken by Stan (Wayne Knight, which I’m a fan of), she leaves, annoyed and irritated.
On her way back, she sees Johnny’s cousin, Billy (Neal Jones) struggling with a few GIGANTIC watermelons. She offers to help him, and he brings her to a secret house party, where some dancing’s happening. Some...dirty dancing.
Tumblr media
Interesting side note here: racial integration! In 1963, remember, so that’s interesting. I mean, if anybody’s a fan of that, it’s gonna be me. At the party, Johnny arrives with Penny Johnson (Cynthia Rhodes), his dance partner from the mambo floor. Johnny sees her there, and questions her presence, to which she makes an adorably awkward comment. And then...they do a dance of their own.
The next day, Lisa makes a love connection with one of the waiters, and asks Baby to cover for her. Baby also speaks to Penny, who doesn’t come from the best background. That night, Penny’s missing, and Neil gives Cornell students just the WORST goddamn name as he very awkwardly hits on Baby. He takes her to the kitchen, and that’s where Baby sees Penny.
Tumblr media
Yeah, Penny’s not OK. Baby goes to Billy and Johnny, who go to get her. Turns out Penny’s pregnant, but Johnny’s not the father. They’re obviously quite close, although they aren’t romantically tangled. Baby, coming from a place of much higher privilege, doesn’t quite understand how difficult this is. Penny berates her for this, and it’s revealed that the father is Robbie Gould (Max Cantor), one of the waiters, who’s also the guy that’s been hanging around Lisa.
Tumblr media
Baby confronts him the following day, where he states that “Some people count, some people don’t.” He also offers her a copy of The Fountainhead, a well-known book for complete and utter douchenozzles. She warns him to stay away from her sister, then goes to ask her father for money for the abortion. Which, by the way, was very illegal in 1963. She gets the money from her dad, who gives it without asking many questions.
Tumblr media
However, there’s an issue; Johnny and Penny have to dance on the only night she can get the abortion. And there’s nobody to replace her...except maybe Baby? Johnny’s entirely against it, they end up convincing him, for Penny’s sake. And now, we get a hallmark of ‘80s cinema: the training montage.
This is a pretty good time to note three things. One, Jennifer Grey is the daughter of Joel Grey, one of the GREATEST actor/dancers ever to grace Hollywood and Broadway. Dude was one of the main characters in Cabaret, for which he won an Oscar, and originated the role of the Wizard of Oz in Wicked. So, yeah, she’s got dancing blood. Secondly, Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey apparently HATED each other. Yeah, kind of a bummer. But their chemistry was SO GODDAMN POWERFUL, that they were able to push through their feelings and do this as well as they are. And third...THIS SOUNDTRACK BOPS. 
youtube
I get it. I GET IT.
Something else I get, too. The chemistry between Grey and Swayze really does sizzle, GODDAMN. Over the course of the montage, they clearly get closer emotionally...and physically. And yeah, it’s definitely there. Although, given the fact that they’re from different class backgrounds, it’s probably gonna be one of those stories. Well, OK. Let’s do it.
After a little too much time practicing, the two take a break. And yet, while on a nature excursion, they continue their training in different environments. Most iconically, they practice lifts in the lake.
Tumblr media
Yeah...yeah, I get it.
The day approaches, and Baby and Penny have a bit of a heart-to-heart. Penny asks Lisa to cover for her (and I’m betting that she won’t, LIKE AN ASSHOLE), and she heads to the dance gig. It mostly goes OK, but the lift is aborted at the last second. However, the performance is still received well. They leave JUST before an elderly couple from the resort sees them. 
Johnny gives her a pep-talk, telling her that she did well, and the music on the car radio hints at their growing mutual attraction. But once they get there, tragedy’s struck. Turns out that the abortion doctor was a dangerous quack, and Penny’s now dangerous injured, in pain and possibly dying. Panicking, Baby does THE RIGHT THING, I can’t stress that enough, THE RIGHT GODDAMN THING, and gets her doctor father.
Tumblr media
Understandably upset (and yeah, it is understandable, all things considered), Dr. Houseman forbids Baby from seeing Johnny or any of the others ever again. This situation...sucks. Damn. And Baby agrees, as she sneaks off to see Johnny anyway. She apologizes to Johnny for how her father treated her, but Johnny blames his own social status for it, rather than her father.
Their conversation becomes very real, and eventually turns into Baby declaring her love for Johnny. As a song comes on the radio, she asks him to dance with her. Giving in to his own feelings, he agrees. And together they engage in some...Dirty Dancing.
Tumblr media
As the two dirty dance horizontally, the night turns to day. That morning, things are definitely awkward between Baby and her father, who almost takes his family away that night. But, his wife and Lisa convince him to stay. He even comes back to visit Penny, checking in to make sure she’s alright, which Baby finds out once she does the same.
Things are also a little awkward between Baby and Johnny, interestingly. Wonder how last night ended. Well, Penny figures it out, and warns Johnny about the risks off getting involved with the upper class. Which, remember, is how she ended up this way. The two have a tense-but-intimate exchange. Which just preludes this IMMEDIATELY happening.
Tumblr media
Yeah, that’s not a surprise. Well, more heart-to-heart proceeds, and they continue to learn about each other’s lives. That night, Lisa tells Baby that she wants to go all the way with Robbie. Despite Baby’s warnings, Lisa simply tells her off, and is generally, I’ll be honest, a bitch. The next morning, though, Baby and Johnny have another dance session. And it’s THAT session. You know the one.
youtube
Neil interrupts, and proceeds to give a bad name to Cornellians everywhere (I’m not like that putz, I SWEAR), and pisses off Johnny in the process. She asks why he didn’t stand up for himself, and then immediately hides Johnny from her father, who’s walking with Robbie and Lisa. Rightfully calling her a hypocrite, he storms off.
And then they immediately resolve it. Which, GODDAMN, do I appreciate. Robbie strolls by, makes a typical crass comment about Baby, and then Johnny BEATS THE EVER-LOVING SHIT OUT OF HIM
Tumblr media
OH FUCK YES. And if that wasn’t enough catharsis, Lisa catches Robbie with one of the high society wives from earlier, as they sleep together in a cabin. OH. YES. THAT’S SOME GOOOOOOOOOOOOD SHIT.
Baby and Johnny, in the actual good and fully-developed relationship of this movie, spend the night together. And are seen the next morning by the high society wife, who had the hots for Johnny.
Tumblr media
The wife, Vivian (Miranda Garrison), implicates Johnny in stealing a wallet. Johnny’s about to be fired, and then BABY ADMITS THAT THEY WERE TOGETHER IN FRONT OF HER FATHER HOLY FUCK
She did it. She actually did it. Goddamn. And then, AND THEN, she TELLS HER FATHER OFF AND CALLS HER OUT FOR HIS ELITISM HOLY FUCKING SHIT I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS MOVIE. And then, Jerry Orbach fuckin’ starts tearing up, and I AM SHOOK MOTHERFUCKER
Tumblr media
And yet, even though the wallets were actually stolen by an elderly couple that Baby actually implicated, Johnny gets fired anyway. GODDAMN. After Baby completely loses heart, Johnny confronts her father, and learns that he believes that he was the one who got Penny pregnant. Johnny semi-tells him off, then walks away.
At his car, Johnny and Baby say goodbye with a kiss, and Johnny heads off forever. I mean, probably not, there’s a good 16 minutes left, and we haven’t gotten to the most iconic scene of the film yet. But anyway, Baby mourns her lost relationship, and her sister actually bonds with her over this whole thing. Hot damn.
Tumblr media
I want to punch Neil in the goddamn face. Mostly just because he’s on screen, but also because he LITERALLY ruins the goddamn anthem of Cornell University, by setting the anthem for the resort against its melody. Goddamn you, Neil. GODDAMN YOU. Also, fuck Robbie, because he LITERALLY OUTS HIMSELF to Dr. Houseman as Penny’s former deadbeat partner. As the anthem continues (to my rage), who shows up but Johnny, who comes to stick up for Baby and all she’s done.
He brings her up on stage, and interrupts the anthem (THANK YOU CHRIST) to perform the last dance of the season, as he always does. Despite Dr. Houseman’s would-be objections (prevented by his wife, who has moved up on my list of favorite characters), the two are left alone on stage. And that...is when the song plays. YOU KNOW THE GODDAMN SONG
youtube
Y’know, it’s funny, because this song is definitely an ‘80s song, making this whole sequence pretty goddamn anachronistic, but WHO CARES!? It’s one of the most iconic sequences in film history, especially of the era, and I love the hell out of it. The crowd cheers, the rest of the kids join in, the lift happens, father and daughter make up, everybody dances, I dance with my girlfriend, I LOVE IT! They kiss, they dance and the film fades to black.
Dirty Dancing! See you in the Review! Oh, I’m changing the name of that section, by the way. Alongside a few more things. You’ll see.
