He looks at him like thinking "I don't know if I want him to be more successful than me or not." and I think he really doesn't know what to feel about him. Sometimes he seems like he cares too much about not having a p1 and sometimes he seems like he doesn't care at all. I think he can't hide his pain sometimes :(

🕯️ Work harder with him boy and keep your head empty and you'll get your win together please 🕯️

ohhh that cuts right to the quick babe

bc that's at the root of what another anon had said about Lando wanting to be for Oscar what he always needed from a more experienced teammate.

absolute mondo amounts of text below lol

with Carlos there was just never a question of Lando trying to puff up and challenge him and he's said that his rookie season was the hardest on him psychologically. he said that he spent it questioning if he really did have what it took and that constantly seeing Carlos confidently talking to the engineers and asking for things and settling into the car so well was very hard. we have to remember that rookie seasons in F1 aren't like other sports - these guys spend that first season wondering if each race is going to be their last (the whole Nyck de Vries situation). and because Lando compensated for what was going on behind the scenes by latching onto carlando - a big, fun and loud bromance - it was an even bigger thud when Carlos left. but !! Lando decided that if McLaren wouldn't let him sink then he would damn well swim. then of course with Daniel there was the shift in dynamic where Lando truly started to become the McLaren brand and it's great hope. but he was also having to deal with at least a little emotional whiplash of Daniel seeming like he'd be another carlando bromance, and also Daniel's not at all concealed disappointment (I'll leave it at that bc I'm not much of a fan lol).

so that "caring too much and not caring at all" back and forth that you said is absolutely something that plays a role in the stuff Lando is so candid about struggling with. he was so ready to finally be Normal About His Teammate when Oscar arrived all neat and tidy and with no baggage or agenda. and I think a part of Lando has tried to view Oscar as a typical rookie who will either be a bit of a nervous wreck, or be merely passing through McLaren for a couple of seasons - or re-negotiate and be shunted off sooner - or all three.

but then Oscar was the exact opposite of a nervous wreck and he's actually been a source of calm for Lando (as Lando himself said, "much more than my last teammate"). Oscar also worked exceptionally hard to show respect and appreciation to the team on every level. and then he signs on for yet another year before the season is even over!

that just leaves the anxiety of that P1 spot hanging in the air. and again, remembering how different F1 is to other sports and even other racing, these guys are ALL going for that spot with equal ferocity. there's no 'Lando wants it more' - that spot is literally why these drivers got to where they are. I know everyone brings up Kimi but lmaoooo that was his persona - he was there to win. you don't win shit in F1 if you're not wanting it on a cellular level.

so on most conscious levels, Lando is firmly in the "I want to win and I want to beat every other guy including Oscar/especially my teammate" because he couldn't possibly contend if he didn't think that. BUTTT. Lando is a much more complex guy than most F1 drivers and he's got an extremely open heart. so I do think we see him caught up in worrying about how strong Oscar's rookie season was and that sprint win - but this time there's an added feeling of rooting for Oscar the way that Oscar has always rooted for him. unlike Carlos and Daniel, Oscar doesn't have that alpha chest-beating thing that can also translate as sullenness and bitterness when they don't come first - and especially when it's their teammate who performs better than they do. and while it doesn't come from chest-beating, Lando absolutely sinks into sullenness even if it isn't as bitter as haters want to think.

so the fact that Lando now has a teammate who celebrates Lando's successes as much as Lando does for others (see Singapore and having to put up with his P2 spot being attributed solely to Carlos pfff) - to the point of Oscar chasing Lando down in parc ferme or standing totally unseen among the team during the podium celebrations) - is the cause for a lot of that intensity and almost a little bit of phantom pain? that we see sometimes when Lando watches Oscar talk. Lando broadcasts every feeling on his face and he just doesn't yet know what to do !! with Oscar.

it's also why I have my vestal virgins au which yes is in itself very weird, but the part about McLaren having another phenom young drivers without a lick of toxic masculinity as their motivation is honestly as new to fans and F1 overall as it is for Lando. we feel a bit off-kilter bc Lando being the adoring baby to Carlos and the adorable baby to Daniel was so easy bc - as I've also admitted - we all have sometimes reduced Lando to his cuter and funnier side rather than his serious contender side. but Oscar doesn't do that! Oscar finds Lando cute and funny when Lando is being cute and funny, but he also lets Lando determine the tone and if Lando is feeling more serious or frustrated or upset then Oscar quietly follows him there. and in turn, Lando brings up Oscar's hard work and success and says things like "how are you feeling Oscar? Oscar's been under the weather so it's even more impressive how he's done".

and idk I just think of the sprint win when they're posing with their plaques and you can see Lando struggling. but then! Oscar is so quietly happy and proud but he doesn't gloat or showboat at all! he even points out that while a win is always nice it's not the same as a race win. and we knew enough about Oscar's respect and deference that that was at least partly intended for Lando. and then Oscar said the same thing again and again in interviews! and then Lando started bringing it up himself and the hurt wasn't even there anymore - he could even ruefully joke about Oscar being the only one with a win!

so I feel like the conflict we see in Lando's eyes sometimes when he looks at Oscar is his tender heart seeing qualities in Oscar that he hasn't seen before in other F1 drivers, let alone teammates - mixed with his own specific pain at not having a win yet and how intangible it sometimes still feels.

in totally my own stupid probably weird perception - and this is probably a huge leap - the little tinge of bittersweetness to Lando and Oscar is that Oscar could truly end up meaning so much to Lando and it's a little overwhelming??

especially because Oscar is so opaque and quiet and withdrawn normally with everyone, even when it's talking about his parents or even Lily - yet he makes these serious and concerted efforts to show how much he respects and considers Lando in how he behaves and what he says. there's nothing remotely casual or lazy, even when/especially when he refuses to give journalists anything personal about his working relationship with Lando.

and Lando could probably safely assume that Carlos would behave just like Daniel - or how any other F1 driver would - if Lando was absolutely outstripping him. not just because of the difference in age (which is negligible now) but because that's honestly Lando's own first response to watching your teammate succeed while you struggle. but that little window where Oscar was keeping pace with - and occasionally exceeding - Lando's performance and even then, Oscar's ego never showed up in the form of crowing or forgetting about Lando beside him was like this agonizing sweetness on top of him never once being bitter about Lando's success.

and unlike Carlos and Daniel, Oscar knew so much and invested serious time into finding out about Lando (so very much alfgjlasfjl) so he's never been caught out by Lando's moods or needs. Carlos to this day seems kind of baffled and a little frightened by how intensely Lando latches onto him as a security blanket. and Daniel's big, loud smile faltering because Lando looked a little pained at being treated like just another DannyRic bromance. even the difference of Oscar's fond little "you're not very adventurous with food, are you?" versus Carlos' coaxing "Lando you need to mature" and getting him to touch the fish in the box. Oscar won't even jokingly try to get Lando to be someone he isn't because all of those things make up who Lando is to Oscar in the same way they do for us as fans.

I wrote an equally long post about guys like Carlos and Daniel realizing they're holding Lando's heart in their hands and feeling freaked the fuck out like 'aaaahhhh take it back take it back!'. but I realized I had no idea how Oscar would react because I don't know if Oscar's relationship to Lando would ever have him in a position to take it for granted that he holds Lando's heart in his hands. if he didn't want it then he would be terse and dismissive as well as more performatively bromancey with Lando. so it's clearly that Oscar wouldn't presume that he's in the position to have it.

so when Lando looks at Oscar he sees:

someone who he openly says makes him better as a driver

someone who is absolutely capable of getting the win before he does

someone who is considerate and kind and doesn't let bitterness fester

is the perfect complement to Lando's will-o-wisp personality

doesn't thrive off of ego and never drags anything off the track with him

who is intimidating precisely because of his calm centeredness

is so similar to Lando in a lot of ways, and so different to him in even better ways

is low-maintenance and non-demanding as a teammate

but does the fact that he doesn't "need" anything from Lando as a teammate feel nice or does it feel hurtful

is so difficult to read and even harder to get to know on a deeper level

distinctly decided against trying to make their relationship camera-friendly even though we know he absolutely does do that with some drivers (Prema, Alpine)

truly, genuinely likes who Lando is in every way

for some reason doesn't see the need to try and clarify or define that any further

god yeah it's got to be the most baffling feeling when it seems like your new teammate could slot right in with your closest friend group but he's also your biggest competitor besides Max V but he's also helping and supporting you on and off the track and sometimes it feels like he's turning his world around you as his sun but then he has this grown-up life outside of you so where does it all fit and what do you even think about it??

hello! I'm Zhalia

ao3 - neocities - kofi - all socials here | adult, fic writer. i'm unhinged about Lewis/Max. favorite drivers are Max, Lewis & Lando. been following F1 since 2016, been active on F1blr since 2021. i'm also unhinged but slighlty more hinged about Max Fewtrell and Lando (how can you not, really). i tag everything with #zhalia's lil' chit chat. other regular used tags are #zhalia's lil' answer chat for asks, #zhalia's lil' kink chat for kink-related posts and sometimes #zhalia's lil' fic chat but i regularly forget that that one exists. askbox is always open and for anon too !! i love to chat !! i'm not (active) on any other socials than tumblr, ao3 and neocities. personal tumblr: @thethirteenthcrow (i follow back from there<3); hornier tumblr @theeleventhcrow

fic masterlist:

index:

i. fic recs ii. ships & kinks iii. how to request a fic iv. where to find my fics v. fic masterlist

i. fic recs

besides my AO3 bookmarks, i also compile lists for certain themes with my favorite fics!

⤑ 4433 fic recs ⤑ 4433 christmas fic recs ⤑ 4433 fetish fic recs (wip) ⤑ 4433 omegaverse fic recs ⤑ 4433 5+1 fic recs (wip) ⤑ 4433+16 fic recs

be sure to follow @ao3-feed-4433 for new fics posted in the tag! check out the 4433 STARTER PACK!

ii. ships & kinks

ships i actively write for: 4433, nortrell ships i'm open to writing for: most max-centered ships, brocedes, norstappen, lewdo, landoscar, yuki/alex, lewco ships i won't write*: lestappen, versainz, carlando, team principal ships, anything with lance, esteban, george or daniel

*mostly due to the fact that i'm not highly focused on these drivers so it's tough for me to know things about them and therefore tougher for me to write something that doesn't feel incredibly out of character. you could see it as: i won't write this driver as a main character. they may always end up being bg ships anyways. does likely not have anything to do with my opinion on the ship.

kinks i actively write: anything that comes to mind or is fitting in the context (check the full list right here on my website) kinks i won't write: watersports, scat, fisting, footplay i'm super chill when it comes to kinks and there is a huge amount of kink i've never even considered. please feel free to request anything you'd like to see and i'll happily give it a shot!

iii. how to request a fic

it's very easy! requests go into my askbox! you can request any kink and any ship and i'll let you know whether i will or won't write it. in certain cases, i might refer you to my commissions. however, due to my current situation and the fact that i'm very busy with work and uni, these commissions are closed. fic requests can be fulfilled within weeks but also catch dust in my askbox for years. never hesitate to ask for an update! for more information, check out this page on my website!

iv. where to find my fics

completely finished fics will always be on my ao3. currently, all my fics are archive-locked due to the ai-scraping threat. if you're reading this, please never ever put any author's hard work into a chatbot or ai thingy. that's theft. i put good faith in all readers that you won't do it but never hurts to say it :) in case ao3 is down, you can read the majority of my fics on my website as well.

www.archiveofourown.org/users/zhalia is my ao3. zhalia.neocities.org is my website right here is where you can find all tumblr prompts i have fulfilled!

v. fic masterlist

chronologically, these are my current 4433 WIPs and finished fics. the chronological order is from when i started with the idea. the wips will likely only have tumblr links with where i talked about it. feel free to ask about any fic any time!

carlando?

first of all, dearest anon - like i said over here, i am SO so sorry for only getting back to you now 🙈🙈 i am an absolute disaster when it comes to ask games 😅 anyways... better late than never, yeah?

so, carlando. oof. well. the game is all about brutally honest opinions, so i will be brutally honest with you.

i used to love carlando. like, when i first got into f1 earlier this year, i watched the carlando mclaren videos like they were going out of fashion. laughed my head off, had a proper good time with them, etc etc. and then i thought: well hey these two are obviously very popular, let's venture into fanfiction!

so i did, and i hate to tell you this, but... i kind of hated it. like. it seemed to me that a whole load of carlando fics have essentially the exact same plot and characterisation? that is to say, lando is a weepy baby and carlos has to take care of him, both emotionally and sexually. now there's nothing wrong with that per se! but it just started to seem to me like that was all people saw their characters as. and, like. i don't think that's particularly accurate.

i'm not trying to say that lando doesn't have insecurities, or carlos shouldn't have to take care of him! but like... i'd just enjoy if there was more to it as well. for example: lando is very dry and sarcastic and actually rather bratty in his own right. let him have that! ALSO. let carlos have a personality of his own that's not directly related to taking care of lando, please.

all this probably sounds like i don't like carlando much at all 🙈 which i also wouldn't say is accurate, really. i do like them! their mclaren videos will forever remain top-tier content and comedic gold. and lando's recent post of carlos on insta most certainly did melt my heart a little bit 🥺 i would just love to read fanfic for them where they're explored in a more... three-dimensional way, if i can say it like that.

final verdict: 8.5/10 for concept/potential, 4.5/10 for execution. i really and truly think they do have the potential to be an amazing dynamic - once again!! mclaren videos!! i just would love to read fic where they actually interact exactly like they do in those videos 🙏 THEN they'd be a solid 9/10 for me. amen.

(send me a ship and i'll give you my brutally honest opinion on it)

#asks & answers #it is brutally honest hours #honest ship opinions thing #🏎 carlando #anti carlando #it ISN'T really anti carlando but i'm tagging just to be on the safe side 🥲🥲 because i'm definitely not particularly nice to them here #sorry ://#but this DOES call for brutal honesty!! so i gave it #there you go x

i am also desperate for more charles/pierre and lando/carlos fic so if YOU have any recs.... pls drop them!!

Hello Anon! Thank you for this ask because I do not write fic but I DO read them. This got so long so I will start with Pierre/Charles and please send me another ask and I will do Carlando under that I provide for you you provide for me MWAH.

This is NOT extensive but some of my favourites here. If any of you have recs not on here PLEASE either send me an ask or send me a message either! Ofc if anyone wants theirs taken off the list please lmk

None of this will be coherent sorry in advance but Under the Cut:

Listen. These first two. I know you’ve read these. But it gives me a chance to gush about them here. Read them. Read them again. Comment on them. Anyways, Bye.

Indentation in the shape of you by @baking-soda

There is zero chance you follow this blog for whatever reason and you have not read this fic. The most beautiful aching story about love and trust and trauma and Pierre as a p*ssy monster on full display. Am I supposed to try and sell you on these in this fic rec? We should literally be paying to read this but dr. Baking-soda is too gracious.

Your dream and your teeth by @yekoc

I think this is the Pierre/Charles fic I’ve read the most? It’s insanely sexy and it’s a really fascinating look at how love is about understanding and compromise and acceptance. The characterizations in this are everything to me, and I think it subverts some of the typical expectations for their dynamic in a way that is really interesting and fresh and impeccably done. Friends to lovers done right.

I started this and then realized it’s gonna be me telling you to read all of Yekoc’s fics on Pierre/Charles so the next 3 are one run-on sentence for each of the others you're welcome:

Careful Design - when I tell you I am the most OTP bitch to ever OTP bitch but this is Seb/Charles/Pierre ENDGAME Pierre/Charles and I will never read a triple pairing again because nothing will ever live up to this.

The Pull of You - PHONE SEX. but it’s complex and layered and it makes you THINK about every line you have to read it at least 3 times to get all the genius little things packed into 3K

The Bells That Can Still Ring - The newest masterpiece it is Post-WW1 AU, it is everything, as a reader you care so much about both of their journeys please go read it and comment on it because I actually can’t even form a coherent sentence about this one I cry everytime I try

This is New by @radiocheck

I…. love this story. The tension of ‘will they won’t they’ throughout is just enough to be satiated in the chapter but keep you on your toes for what is inevitably coming later. I also think this is my favourite fic that highlights the real friendship that is at the heart of these two. It made me smile so much.

Did You Know? by Kiwialicat

This is a gorgeous take on how trauma and love coincide in a relationship. It does mention the death of real life people so please heed the tags, but it’s really to me about kindness and care.

raspberry spring, iris heaven by distressedgremlin

An older one but so so good. They’re on vacation and Charles wears dresses and it makes you feel raw with it. It’s vulnerability and knowing someone and being known and it's gorgeous.

If I were proper, I’d have a chance: not with you but with somebody else by ShiwiSins (IetjeSiobhan)

A/B/O Sauber!Charles. I rarely recc A/B/O because I am very specific with the way I enjoy it written. It took writers I really trust delving into it for me to start even opening it as a tag. but this is a fun one, it’s really sweet, and I think it’s a fun exploration of a more youthful version of their characters

Your little ribs around me by Anon

Firstly this is my favourite title for a Pierre/Charles fic ever because it feels so much like them? I dont know how to explain it but the familiarity and protectiveness but the slight constriction of it feels very fitting. Anyways. The fic itself is also just. The intimacy and the character depth and the emotional history that is packed into just under 2k of writing is incredibly impressive.

Stars grew pale by poolside

Monza-versary blindfolds. That should be enough for you to read this. The familiarity between the two of them, how Charles is so observant that it makes the reader more observant, even with blindfolds. Really just a smart and enjoyable fic. Read all of poolside’s fics for Pierre/Charles basically but this is my favourite :)

darkest little paradise by @restacks

Post Monza 2020 blow job. It’s hot and it’s needy and a little desperate. I love how each of them give and take what they need in it. This Charles is also so interesting.

leave everything unsaid by withfeathers

this one is a really beautiful look into their relationship with grief, both individually and for each other. It also features Pierre’s fingers in Charles’ mouth which is my favourite visual for them in all fic, but particularly in a non-sexual context.

ADDED

Of Mute Swans and Nests by @pierregasiy

Ballet AU!! This is my COMFORT FIC and I know it is many others’ too. I did ballet as a kid and the AU here is so richly curated and nostalgic to me. The attention to detail, the way the characters are have so clearly carved out their own spaces in this world, the development of this pack of kind of misfits that you so badly want to root for, UGH. MWah. Even though it deals with a lot of angst it’s also FUNNY. The slow burn is rewarding because it doesn’t get too bogged down by it’s own circumstances, which is really refreshing. Thank god it is back up so you all can read it and go write nice comments.

There’s more I KNOW i’m missing, also some that are currently out on a little break but when they are brought back WILL be added to this. And to all the fic authors, thank you thank you. This is my favourite f1 pairing and everytime I see a new wonderful story with them it makes me feel so grateful. Happy reading everyone :)

#youre welcome anon this was hard #now do you see why I dont comment on your fics guys #I'm sorry I cannot write my thoughts properly #read these tho!#also anon come back for Carlando please #fic rec #asks

Hello! Friendly Neighborhood Music Anon here to spread some music because that Quadrant Live has ENDED me. ("you two really are like a married couple!" Lando: 😁😁😁😁😁.) (And I may have been swayed with the idea of more of your writing because I've read all the things. Multiple times.) So today's offering is a very angsty "Call you Mine" by Daughtry. 🧡 I Have written things but too shy to post. 😭

HI APOLOGIES FOR THE LONG WAIT but music notrell is back!

hi music anon !! i finally have time to look at the song you sent!

call you mine by Daughtry

the verse starts like this;

Well it may sound crazy Turn me away, I get it But in another time It was you and me I can tell you where you're going Tell you where you've been I can't get enough Let me tell you Let me tell you, tell you

this feels like max's jealousy over (car)lando, how everyone's hyping that up and max is out there like, he used to be my teammate. or maybe after the announcement that lando and luisa are together, especially since that is after they moved out of The House (even tho they've barely been separated since)

then it's the chorus;

We know each other from a different life The dreams, the memories, I recognize the way you felt The way you held me up against you But I can't call you mine We'll keep on coming till we get it right This place, we've seen it a million times I won't forget you, can't remember me without you But I can't call you mine, yeah I can't call you mine

which feels like max constantly missing out on lando - like them just not being together, or working towards something romantic but right before they kiss, they get together, they confess, or whatever, there's something else lando's up to. as i said, carlando, luisa, pick your poison.

verse two intrigues me so much;

I can't ignore the way you looked at me When I called you by your name If I could make you see You'd stop hiding in this way So come and get me one more time Tell me the lies I tell myself Won't you tell me Won't you tell me, tell me

it's like max seeing how lando loves him, how lando wants him, but something (media, internalised homophobia, parents, whatever) is stopping lando from being true to himself.

and lastly we have the bridge;

But I know that I can feel it Can you feel it? Cause I can't let go No I can't walk away Can you feel it? I can feel it, yeah So I won't let go No, I can't walk away I'll never walk away I'll never walk away

max is so attached <3333 forever there with lando, not choosing his own path, but always following where lando needs him (if you were to switch the idea that lando does things for max, but instead max is accepting all lando does for him in order to please lando)

tldr; painful song! very angsty! but gorgeous and i can really dive into max's feelings with this one! but you could also see it as lando's hurt, or lando's want and pining!

i've added it to the nortrell playlist (which is open to anyone to add songs!)

and why thank you for your lovely compliment !! it's really kind of you to reread my little brainmush haha! i haven't touched any nortrell wips in quite some time but they're always on my mind. maybe when i finish this big work i'm on, I'll get back to them <3

and if you're to shy to post, you can always hmu and send me your work and if you want i can beta it for you? be your personal cheerleader? you got this bb <3
