You'll Remember You Belong To Me
Loving and leaving Daemon were the two best things you ever did in your life. He disagrees with the latter, however, and is convinced you'll come back.
Mafia!Daemon Targaryen x Estranged!Reader | 1k+ | cw: fem!reader, modern au, toxic!Daemon, mom!reader, exes trope, manipulation, typos, etc.
A/N: HI everyone. it's been so long since I've written anything ): I JUST CANT WRITE HUHUH but inspiration struck me so im running with it!! this is inspired by You'll Be Back from Hamilton so I suggest you give it a listen! Also it's kinda fucked up so read dis with care!!!!
Tagging: @pinksirensong @aralezinspace @sloanexx @delicious-xx @deniixlovezelda @targaryenmoony @risefallrise @slavyanskiyahui @thebullship @sa3losa
Tumblr media
"Papa!" a hushed but excited voice calls.
Daemon grins and gets down on one knee. The little boy with burning white hair runs towards his papa's open arms and jumps into them.
Daemon embraces and kisses his son. He then throws him over his shoulder as he stands, making him giggle. The man asks as he head over to the open door, "where's mummy?"
"Cooking with Vivi."
"Oh," Daemon walks inside and takes his shoes off, "do you and Visenya help mummy cook?"
The boy cheers, way too loudly to his father's taste, "YES!"
Daemon immediately hushes the boy and sets him down. The boy is red in the face and giggling. Daemon gives him a lopsided smile and brushes his bangs out of his face, "remember what I told you, lovie? About keepin' a low profile."
The boy nods, "it's our secret mission," he raises a finger to his lips, "a surprise for mummy!"
Daemon chuckles, "very good, Baelon."
Baelon grins from ear to ear.
"Now, before we surprise mummy, tell me where you put the phone I gave you."
"I hid it underneath my toy box! Mummy never looks there."
Daemon pinches his son's cheeks, "good boy."
Baelon giggles under his breath.
"Remember not to let your mother catch you when I call again, okay?"
He nods.
"Right," Daemon stands, "you can go tell mummy daddy's home now."
With that, Baelon runs off and practically busts a lung screaming, "PAPA'S HERE!"
Daemon follows the child, and hears a high pitched squeal from the kitchen. Soon enough, his beloved Visenya is running towards him, "PAAAPPPAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Daemon scoops up the little girl in his arms and covers her face with kisses, "ah, my baby girl."
He twirls the girl around and after a 360, he is met with a deathly glare. Daemon smirks, "hello, baby girl."
"I am not your baby girl," you snap as you march towards him. You mutter under a groan, "and you're not supposed to be here."
Visenya tightens her arms around her father's neck. At a point, her blonde hair looks like it was Daemon's. He blows a raspberry onto her neck, his eyes on you the entire time, "my place is where my family is."
It takes everything in you not to explode, but you don't; you'd never do that in front of your kids.
Daemon knew that well.
That didn't stop you speaking your mind though, "this is from the man that uprooted our life in King's Landing because of a business plan gone wrong."
That makes Daemon tick. He puts down Visenya, much to her displeasure. The girl claws at Daemon's jeans, wanting to be in the arms of her father again but is ultimately ignored. "You knew what you were getting into when you married me."
"That's why I know better than to let the man I once loved conceal, lie, and cheat on me."
Your words really sink into him when you pick up Visenya when she burst into tears. Of course, she wanted nothing to do with you and so desperately clawed out to him, but the image was really sobering.
At least for a moment.
"Give her to me," Daemon says.
You glare at him and mouth threats laced with curse words.
Baelon runs up to him with a toy bus, "papa, can we play?"
Daemon looks down at his son and smiles. He crouches down, "of course, darling," he looks up at you, "we'll play with Vivi."
Visenya immediately wrangles out of your arms and you have no choice but to set her down.
As much as you wanted to grind his guts, you knew your children loved their dad. They so obviously missed him dearly.
Daemon sprawls belly-down on the floor without hesitation. Visenya and Baelon fall into their usual play mode and you take a deep breath before heading back to the kitchen to finish cooking.
By the time you were finished and calling for them and their joke-of-a-father to come to the table for lunch, you find yourself alone by the dining table waiting for seemingly nothing.
You were about to go get your kids, that is until Daemon walked over.
Your face immediately morphs into distaste. It makes Daemon chuckle, "that bad?"
"Where are my babies?"
"Our babies are napping," he says, pulling a chair back. He sits down and tilts his head, "I'm here though."
You make a disgusted face.
Daemon laughs. He missed your face very much.
You cross your arms, "what did you do to them?"
"You're accusing me of doing something to my children?" he chuckles in disbelief as places a hand on his chest.
"They never need to take naps."
Daemon shrugs, "you don't play with them hard enough."
He realizes his mistake when your face contorts.
"I didn't hurt them," he waves his hands, "I just made them chase each other around until they burned out."
"Good then," you point to the door, "leave."
He narrows his eyes in offence, "I promised I'd be here when they woke up."
You throw your head back in laughter, though you found no amusement in his words, "that wouldn't be the first time you lied."
"I've never lied to Baelon or Visenya."
"You think you deserve a consolation for that?" you snap, turning around to lean on the sink. You wash your hands even though you've just washed them, "I told you I would leave. I told you I would leave you if you kept up your bullshit."
Daemon stands and walks towards you.
You don't look back but you knew he was closing in. You didn't need to look; you could feel him. You knew exactly what he would do because you knew him like the back of your hand.
This was why before he could do anything, you turned away and flicked water into his face.
Daemon stills in his spot, taken off-guard.
You decide to finish cleaning up before you eat.
He wipes his face, "and I told you you'll be back."
You scoff as you tidy the counter, "am I the one crawling back?"
"Is that what you want?" Daemon raises a brow as he walks over.
You still in your spot when he drops to his knees.
"I'll crawl and beg," he whispers as if it was something solemn.
You watch him inch closer and before you have the brain to move, you let out a gasp when he grabs your thigh.
It didn't help that his palms were warm and your skin was cool from wearing shorts and damp from washing dishes. It didn't help that you hadn't been touched for so long and that your skin grew goosebumps.
It didn't help that he had it all figured out.
He kissed your thigh once and the next moment, he had you pressed against the counter, nose to nose, forehead to forehead, nearly lips to lips.
Daemon traps you between his arms, hands gripping the counter on both your sides.
You could smell him so clearly now. It did something to your stomach. Your hands wanted to instinctively reach out to him, but you thanked the gods you knew better than that.
"I'll atone for my sins whichever way you want," he murmurs, "just let me see my kids."
You press your hands on his chest, ready to pull him away, "I know better than to believe you."
Daemon waits for you to push him back. When you don't, he doesn't hide his smile. He grins and takes your hands, kissing them.
Your breath is pulled out of your lungs.
He shakes his head, "you don't have to believe me. You just have to watch me."
It wasn't right, but the feeling of his lips on your skin was too familiar to resist. Daemon kisses your hands, up to your wrists, up to your shoulders, then your lips were trapped between his teeth and you were pulling him in.
The only reason you stopped was because Visenya walked in on you, scratching her eye, asking if she could have help getting a plate of food.
You watch as Daemon smiles at her. You watch as your daughter giggles as her papa gives her a plate and kisses her cheek before telling her he's going to go wake her brother up.
You watch as he carries Baleon and sits him down next to him. You watch him dote on them and it nearly makes you forgive and forget all he's done.
Daemon knows better than to think you'd do anything of the sort.
And even though you sit across from him holding a look of spite, he gives smirks back and prepares you a plate.

everything i do is tragic - f1 grid
·˚ ༘ a series of f1 driver’s blurbs inspired by my lord and savior olivia rodrigo’s songs
Tumblr media Tumblr media
got the idea from @lewisvinga’s born to die series (which u should totally check out)
carlos sainz - favorite crime
˚ · . yn just hopes that she was, at least, carlos’ favorite crime
charles leclerc - scared of my guitar
˚ · . how could yn ever trade something that’s good for what’s right?
max verstappen - lacy
˚ · . well isn’t max the greatest thing to ever exist?
lando norris - get him back!
˚ · . lando promised yn she was the only girl, but that just wasn’t true
oscar piastri - bad idea right?
˚ · . yn simply cannot hear her thoughts when it comes to oscar
george russell - deja vu
˚ · . yn wonders if george gets déjá vu when he’s with his new girlfriend, but she already knows the answer
lewis hamilton - happier
˚ · . yn truly hopes lewis is happy, but not as happy as he was with her
logan sargeant - so american
˚ · . logan is so painfully american, but yn can’t get enough of it
pierre gasly - enough for you
˚ · . all yn ever wanted was to be enough for pierre
Tumblr media
a/n soso excited for this series, and it’s also my first time posting my writing so kinda nervous 🫣 i didn’t include all of the drivers listed on my masterlist as i didn’t find any song that would “fit” them or inspire me to write about them 😞

just a silly crush (not) pt.1
pairing : daniel ricciardo x childhood friend-brabham!reader ; lewis hamilton x reader (implied, platonic relationship)
summary: even after two decade of constant battle with his own silly first love slash crush and manage to almost win the fight, you're still the one who manage to knock the breath out of him. and yet, here you are, still oblivious to his feeling.
warning: unedited and rushed work (I GOT INSPIRED AFTER TWO CANS OF REDBULL RAAAAAAHHHH), harsh words, childhood trauma (kinda), slowburn (we're talking about 20 years of pining from danny)
a/n : this is set in 2021, so papaya daniel :D
Tumblr media
"c'mon danny, you never say no to a good party!" lando whines as he follow the irritated daniel around like a puppy.
the older man let out a sigh before continuing what he left behind; wiping his helmet. lando stomp his feet once–then let out an exageratted sigh as he sat down beside him.
"just leave your helmet and go out with us!" he insisted.
"lando, no." he sternly said.
"you never say no to a party! especially monaco party."
its true, daniel would never refuse an invitation to a party. in fact, most of the time he would be the one who send out the invitation to everyone on grid. but it's different. today is different.
"it is (y/n) brabham we talked about dan! don't you want to go to her dope party?" lando reason.
if only you knew that is the reason why i refuse to go, lando. daniel thought. "so? why do i have to come along?" he asked, finally facing the young brit.
"uhhh, because it is y/n? she's like a hot topic and the it girl of the paddock right now? daughter of david-fucking-brabham? and maybe i want to know her more?" he answer as if the answer he said is the most obvious answer.
"and i heard from max that she is your friend! so maybe you can-"
"was." daniel stop him.
"damn, okay. she was your friend, whatever. and maybe you can introduce me to her." lando scoff.
your name is still a sour topic to him, leaving a bad taste in his mouth and saying that word killing him inside. yet, he doesn't have the courage to elaborate more to the poor confused lando norris.
(y/n) brabham, the famous australian model turn to actress and daughter of david brabham–yes the david brabham, become the hot flaming topic on the grid after her unexpected debut on the paddock at bahrain gp as lewis hamilton's plus one.
maybe because she was also known for her controversial on stating her dislike over the motorsport that his father (and his family) was famously known for. it was not her cup of tea, she said back in her 2019 famous vogue interview.
and maybe because his father insisted on pushing it to her and her younger sibling. and of course their famous leaked dispute over the death of brabham motor company. either way, (y/n) and formula one has never seen in the same sentences. it is just an unwritten and unspoken rule at this point.
while other drivers didn't think about it a lot, daniel feel like he's about to passed out right then when he saw y/n walking beside lewis, in black mercedes polo—matching with the man beside her–while laughing and waving at the media crew.
max–being the only person who knows about daniel's pathetic one-sided first love– was there to hold daniel's body, giving the poor man some reassuring pats on the back. "mate, if i were (y/n) i would also choose lewis." he said, and daniel swear he's about to knock the blue eyed dutchmen out.
although lewis officialy stated that you were just his friend and fellow ambassador for tommy hilfiger on interview for a few times now, daniel can't help but to get jealous at the 7 times world champion.
because of course you would show up as lewis hamilton's plus one rather than his, despite your history. and after many attempts of invitation and bribery that failed, he just stop asking.
"danny, i hate loud noises and i know how loud those cars are. and also, you know how i feel about the sport"
loud noises his ass.
lando leaning in closer now, shoulder touching his as he stare at the older men with those disgusting puppy eyes. daniel push the younger men on the forehead, as he shake his head.
"oh c'mon now! don't make me call for reinforcement to get you out of here!" lando said as he grab his phone from the back pocket of his jeans, and typing furiously.
"what reinforcement?" daniel asked, eyebrow raised in question.
not even a minute later daniel's motorhome door open, then, enter max verstappen along with carlos sainz and charles leclerc.
"that." lando simply stated as he point to the trio.
max watch in amusement, folding his hand in front of his chest.
"get 'em boys." he said.
"wha-"
"sorry cabrón, we have to get you outta here." carlos said as he walk to his direction, holding his left arm.
"what he said." charles said, grinning as he hold the opposite arm.
"seriously? you're gonna drag me out of my own place?" he asked as he forced to stand up from his seat, not even resisting because god knows how strong these two people are. especially the spaniard.
"yep."
"yeah, pretty much."
"uh-huh."
lando, carlos, and charles said at the same time.
daniel then turn his gaze to the dutch, annoyed at how his smirk seems to speak a thousand words despite being the most silent out of four.
"i expect these three gremlins to be the one who did this to me, but you?" he said, eyes glaring at the dutchmen.
"well, beat me for wanting a good source of entertainment for free, ricciardo." max said, shrugging his shoulders.
"i am going to kill you all, with my own hands."
Tumblr media
the–clearly exclusive–club where your party was held is amazing to say the least. it would have been a big fat lie if danny said he was not impressed by the place. he walk through the sea of human, heading straight to the bar as he scan the room.
he already lost lando, carlos, and charles the second they enters the club and god knows where max and kelly are. the lovebird seems to be touchy even before entering the club and now danny needs a glass–or two, of the strongest liquor they legally able to serve.
"oh?" a familiar voice interrupt his train of thoughts as he turn his head to the source.
"they did manage to drag you out of your fortress, i thought carlos was joking. huh, impressive." you said, occupying the empty seat beside him.
"that, they did." is the only response he said as he shot you a thin smile.
"you look good, ricciardo." you smile at him, squeezing his shoulder in friendly manner.
"and so are you, brabham." another dry response from him.
"ugh please, i want to get married just so i can get rid of that cursed last name." you said, rolling your eyes. god you do hate your last name.
"right." he coldly stated.
you nod your head as you brought the martini glass close to your mouth. ah, he's mad at you still, you thought. and he have every right to do so. showing up at the paddock out of nowhere after rejecting his invitations since 2012, without telling him first, was a jerk move.
so, you did the right thing you know.
"sorry about bahrain. i- it was for work purpose." you said, facing him with guilty eyes. you knew this would hurt him.
"its alright, y/n." he answer, refusing to face you because–oh god you look and smell so good and he didn't want to let his wall down. and he knew if he face you, he won't be able to stay mad at you.
you are his kryptonite after all, always have been. but tonight he want be strong. he want to be pissed at you.
"well, enjoy the party i guess. and thanks for coming." you chimed, sliding out from the seat as you rub his shoulder.
daniel's fast reflex is both curse and blessing for him. and boy do he feel like it was a curse. because before even his mind processing what is happening when her hand touch his shoulder, his hand was already firm on your wrist, refusing to let go.
you watch him with a mixed of both puzzled and surprised look.
"danny? you need something?" you asked.
his mouth agape, seems to be clueless and surprised at how fast his hand reacted. damn his good reflex.
"oh–um. no, sorry." he managed to say as words seems to be tied inside his throat, unwiling to spilled out as he stare at you blankly.
"oh-kay?" you said.
he let go of your wrist, as if your skin burn him. as if your skin a flaming fire. "sorry."
you open your mouth to say something, but-
"daniel!" both you and daniel whip your head to the sound.
max is waving his hand at him while kelly was nowhere to be seen. but from the goofy smile, max's disheveled hair, and his flushed cheeks, danny might have some ideas about her whereabout.
"i thought you run away or something." the blue eyed dutchmen said as he approach his former teammate with a smile.
"speak for yourself max, i've been here all the time. where have you been?" daniel said, amused look on his face.
"oh! just–uh–dancing with kelly." he speak, trying to clear his throat.
you let out a giggle which causing max to raised an eyebrow at you. that cause you to start laughing.
"uhh, what so funny y/n?" he asked.
daniel roll his eyes as he pointed max's neck and collarbone. "seems like a good dance, look at you all flushed and littered with lipstick stains."
max turned pale as he hide his neck with his hand, immediately buttoning his shirt up to hide the evidence.
"i'm–ahaha–i'm not... you know what? i'll just go..." he said, quickly turn his heels to walk away from the embarrassing situation he's in.
both you and daniel watch as max trying his best to hide himself in the crowds. and when he is out of sight, daniel let out a holler.
"that little rascal," he said, downing his whiskey "oh right, you were about to say something. what is it?" he asked, turning his body to fully face you now. thanks to max, daniel feel a little more calm now.
you give him a smile, shaking your head. "i forgot about it," you simply said with a shrug "it was nice talking to you daniel, really. i have to go and greet another guest now and um–sorry, again. hope we're cool now?" you said, offering a hand for him to shake.
daniel stare at your awaiting hand, finally giving you that sunshine smile before taking your hand in his, shaking it. "we're cool, brabham," he said "only if you come to spa as my plus one."
"oh... but–i have a catwalk on the race day." you said, opening your calendar app on your phone.
"hmm, zandvoort then?"
"photoshoots."
"alright. monza?"
"ah another, photoshoots."
"oh."
"but i can come. the photoshoot will be held in monaco anyways, so it's not that far." you said, showing him your–packed to the year end–schedule.
"really?" daniel said, voice full of hope.
"its only fair if i come to your race since i came for lewis's," she said, smiling at him brightly. "but–"
daniel expression fell, anxiously waiting for what you have to say next.
"you have to win."
he let out the breath he's been holding on, wiping his face before chuckling.
"you have yourself a deal, brabham."
"win that race, ricciardo." you said, giving him a kiss on his cheek.
daniel's grip on your hand loosen as he gave you a warm stare, caramel colored eyes staring at your orbs with some unreadable expression.
"oh i will win this battle, brabham. just wait." he said with more of certainity in his voice now.

The driver became one of the brand's fashion ambassador end of last year and has been seen around the designer more than often, leading to speculations of the couple dating. Is this their way of confirming the rumours or just two co-workers enjoying the fashion week?

Fics that defined my love of f1 rpf
In celebration of literally nothing actually, i bring you a fic rec list of some of my favourites!!! very condensed (100+ -> 15 not even including tumblr fics) and im kinda sad i cant put all of my favs down lol but these are like my must reads!!

Strollonso:
silver platter by atwater | E | 9k
Literally the first fic I've ever read and basically got me into this fandom (and ship). Theyre both so unhinged and amazing it's a very fun read. Probably the best written lance ive every read.
Make Sound by antimonyandthyme | E | 1k
Makes me so fucking insane no notes this is just amazing oh my god
I make two grand an hour by Kaytheologie | E | 3k
Literally so hot and so amazing. lance is so bitchy in this one is great. amazing writing and amazing premise, literally inspired me to sketch out something right after (might finish it at some point)
Sewis:
provenance by ecorone | M | 18K
Literally the fic that introduced and made me fall in love with sewis. it wrecked me like i still havent recovered at all. the writing itself is just, i vibe to it so much
The Numbering at Bethlehem by Kaytheologie | E | 26k
might be one of my favourite fics, ever. what a masterpiece genuinely the environment is just so immersive and lush. ive reread it a dozen time and it never gets old
Brocedes:
you're my purple candy high by nothoughtsjustvibes | M | 5k
baby's first brocedes 🥹 started my love affair with emotional destruction. ruined me when i just first read it and ruined me every time after that. The writing is so profound and laid out their tragedy bare.
the torture of small talk with someone you used to love by finedae | T | 2k
baby's first nico fic!! it also destroyed me!! i think this is the one that made me join f1br bc i was just so obsessed with the writing i needed to know what the author was like lol.
3344:
special research vessels by ecorone | M | 15k
listen i thought this ship wouldve been more popular than it is LOL or at least not as hated. regardless, i love this fic so much. I love the environment, I love the dialogue, the characterization, everything. It's just such an amazing reading experience
matchstick people by ecorone | E | 60k
if you havent noticed by now, im obsessed with this author. the prose, the characterizations, how beautifully the magical realism of it all was realized. horror as a genre is so underutilized in fanfics as a whole but when its done, its done amazingly. love love love
Others:
crude generalisations and vulgar simplifications by crescenteluce | E | 14k | Alexander Albon/George Russell
This fic is THE galex fic for me. it so funny and the writing is so witty its just fun to read. love the way the environment is constructed and it everything just feels so real. amazing
it's more than I can bear: this interminable want, turning and turning. by Anonymous | E | 2k | Fernando Alonso/George Russell
The vibes are rancid, the ships are niche, the writing is good. what more do you need? i love reading this and i love thinking about this.
Amen by sirius | M | 9k | Fernando Alonso/Lewis Hamilton
THE ferwis fic is my mind and mad me unreasonably obsessed with this ship. its so well written- like i love the characterization so much it makes me insane.

Wildest dreams
Summary: Lewis Hamilton was screwed. He realised that he fell in love with his best friend, the one where he promised he wouldn’t do it, especially in the condition they were in.
Rating: +16
Warnings: none
Word count: 2.3
Notes: this is the first fic of a series that is inspired by @mignonricciardo “formula one drivers as romance tropes'  so the credit of the original idea goes to her! ofc, i changed some bits because i refuse to remember ad 2021 
masterlist
Tumblr media
2022
The car was shit. W13 let it down since the moment they tested it for the first time and he wasn’t happy. He tried to let it all go after 2021, to think positive and be back at competing with his team - but no, the universe was playing a joke on him. And to top it off, gossip about him was going all around it, like he was a prey, waiting to be eaten alive. His PR executive bolted inside the room while he was doing a physical therapy session with Angela, his back was killing him.
“Not now, Mimi…” He murmured, trying to turn up the music, but she put a hand on top of him.
“I think it’s the time. You need a relationship to make the vultures talk about anything else.”
“What? But I’m not seeing anyone…” He raised his head, scrunching up his nose.
“Well, it can be a fake relationship! Just need a contract, a really good one, some lawyers and boom! New girlfriend in less than two weeks.” She was restlessly typing on her phone.
He sighed loudly, stopping his exercise and sat down, passing his hands on his thighs. “Fine.” Angela looked a bit sceptical towards him. “With one condition.”
“Only one? I can see that you’re evolving! Simpler.” She joked.
“I’ll choose the girl.”
“Fair, it’s you that will be dating her.”
……………………………………………………………………………..
You were snoring softly against the pillow, your limbs just screamed with pain and this nap was really the only thing that you needed right now, however, your doorbell started to ring. With an angry groan, you stood up from your bed and walked towards the door, opening and seeing a very anxious Lewis Hamilton there.
“Hey, Lew… Kinda weird for you to visit me in the middle of the week, especially that you have a race on sunday. You know, there’s a thing called cell phones…” He didn’t even wait for you to finish talking and walked inside your loft. “Oh, okay then, no manners, I see.”
“So… I need your help.”
“Here it comes… What’s wrong, mate?” You sat next to him, holding his hand.
“So, my PR wants me to be in a relationship. A fake. So the media will focus on something else about me.”
“Do you need me to find you a bloke?”
“Kind of. Actually… Would you be in?” He looked at you with exasperation in his eyes. “It’s just… We've been friends for years now, people have seen us together a lot, they always suspected it… And I trust you. A lot.” 
“That’s…” You sighed, letting your back hit the soft cushion. “A lot. Like- It will affect my career, for sure! Or I won’t have time to be this aesthetic WAG of a Formula One driver. I love you, Lew… But I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
“I know! I know! But… Everything sucks since last year and if I’m going to do this so I can wipe out all of the shit, at least I’m doing it with someone I love.”
You just heard his words and kept quiet for a few seconds, reflecting if this was not as insane as your brain wants to put it. Well, it is very outside of the norm to have your very famous friend asking you to be his fake girlfriend for the media, but at the same time, you’ve felt honoured that he thought about you first amongst all of your common friends.
“Well.. Since you asked nicely, we can arrange that.” You laid your head on his shoulder. “Fuck, you really know how to convince me.”
“Always did that very well and you know it.”
…………………………………………………………………
A few days later, some meeting with both of your lawyers, a contract - evolving money, you were planning on how to make it public your “relationship”. Your profiles on social media were all private, so no one could see except from pictures that he would post.
“Okay… So we can make this very secretive, to make them talk about it.” Miranda, the PR, suggested it.
“Maybe some fancy dates at restaurants?” He suggested.
“And sometimes, you leave the paddock holding flowers, like you’re going to give to someone else.” You completed it.
“And then, he can take you to a race, but just simple gestures, no kissing, of course. But enough to make them crazy for a break.” The PR finished, smiling. “And remember, you can have other people, as long as you’re very secretive about it, we don’t want a cheating scandal.”
“I kinda feel bad about the fans, they will be very happy.” The British man said, sipping on his whiskey.
“It’s your fault you didn’t want to fall in love.”
“My bad that no one would be as good as you.” He poked his tongue out, laughing.
“Such a cheesy man, are you, huh? I didn’t know that.”
………………………………………………………………….
The first few weeks of you being “together”, some paparazzis caught you two in some fancy restaurants, running together. At the beginning, it was awkward, you were friends, sure… But this whole situationship about pretending to be together was leaving you into a weird space everytime you two were alone. Of course, he tried to avoid it, skipping this step, but inevitably it would happen for a while.
Then, he invited you to spend a weekend with him, a race weekend. Your first thought was to deny at all costs, it was going to be so uncomfortable, especially with paparazzi all around you both. However, with a little of his encouragement words and reassurance that you did not need to go in with him through the Paddock, you agreed to it.
Sunday morning, he got this two bedroom ensuite on, so you wouldn't actually sleep at the same place, but not to leave any suspicions in case someone invaded your privacy. Lewis was up early, shifting around, shower on then off, blow dryer, lights on and off. You groaned and got up, opening your door and showing the middle finger towards him.
“Good morning, love.” He smiled, and threw some clothes at you.
“What’s that?”
“Some matching clothes. I know we won’t walk in together, but… I need to know you’re mine.” His cocky smile appeared.
“You…” You pulled the mostly monochromatic yellow outfit. “How?”
“Oh! And I have some shoes and accessories, you can look into that bag!”
“Okay, you really put yourself through.”
“Go get dressed! We’ll leave for breakfast soon!”
“I’m sorry, but I need makeup to look hot, so you will sit your fine ass down and let me do my magic.”
“Anything for my queen.”
“Cheesy!” You screamed, going to the bathroom with all of the things he gave to you.
After an hour, you two were finally going to the paddock. He was wearing an all yellow outfit and it perfectly matched with you. It was dumb? Yeah, but the butterflies were running up on his chest, the feeling of his missing puzzle piece being there just made everything even more confusing. He let you go out first, entering another through another gate - with almost no one around except for the team crew, then of course he made his entrance, looking handsome as always, while you were already at Mercedes’ hospitality, getting an espresso. When he appeared with a smile, extending a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers.
“Thank you.” You murmured, kissing his cheek.
“It’s not for publicity, okay? It’s an acknowledgment for being the best.”
“But the paparazzi loved it, people are really going crazy.” You could hear his laugh and it made your heart flutter.
………………………………………………………….
The end of the season sucked, Lewis had a DNF on Abu Dhabi, which made at least that horrible car have its end. He was upset, everything in that year about racing was just messed up, but at least he had you along the way. 
You gave him a few days to breathe, acknowledge this unusual year for him, Hamilton needed this time for himself and you understood. Of course, it was mundane now, from spending some weekends knowing new countries and having fun with him, it was paradise, now you got it why women would always throw themselves at his feet, I mean- he was handsome and polite and also your friend for years, but you’ve never seen that way, a different side of the british man. You smiled with the pictures that popped up on your twitter, of you two hanging out the night before the last race, his hand around your waist, a stunning smile that could light up the whole room and stylish outfits - that you’ve always tried to match and look as fashionable as he is, however, the dark skinned man would steal the scene every time he stepped on the paddock for a race weekend.
The sound of some random tv show played in the background as you kept scrolling your instagram feed, just to kill some time. Out of the blue, Hamilton’s nickname appeared on the screen and you thought it was weird, why would he call when texting was quicker? Without waiting, you answered the call, pressing your legs together in anticipation.
“Hey, love.”
“Hi, Lew. Why calling? Especially in the middle of the day.”
“Oh… Wanna drive somewhere? I just could use some company.”
“Of course?” The request was a bit out of his usual character, however you knew him enough to know he just wanted to empty his mind.
“Pick you up in five.”
“Ok!”
And he hung up. You managed to put on a hoodie, sneakers and some makeup - just a bit of mascara, lipgloss and a blush, to look more “alive”. In exactly five minutes his car was pulling on your driveway. He opened the door for you and soon you two were going off to… somewhere.
The ride was rather quiet, just some pop music from the radio filling up the silence - comfortable silence. In less than an hour, he pulled up on a beautiful view, between the rocks you could see a river that was starting to freeze.
“Everything okay?” You said, in a low tone.
“Yeah. Just wanted to drive off, but your company makes it better.”
…………………………………………………………………………………
After that night, where you contemplated the view, talked and reflected on how your lives have changed in those last years, he took you home and wished you a good night. This became frequent, drive offs to different places, inviting you to his morning runs and hikes - which you weren’t so good, so he would continuously hold your hips and sometimes, when he was in his best mood, his hand would slip into yours on the rides back to your house and it was the best sensation in the whole world.
That’s when he knew he fell in love and all of this was more than some publicity contract, Lewis wanted to be by your side, it was the moments where he could be himself and no judgments from anyone, just you two in some remote place, far from paparazzi. At first, he didn’t want to believe, he promised himself, right before all of this had started, he wouldn’t fall in love with you. He couldn’t. He shouldn’t. 
Yet, there he was, sitting down on his sofa, looking at pictures that he took of you on top of some hill, smiling. Quickly he called Miranda, Angela and Russell on a video call.
“I think I fell for her. And I promised myself I wouldn’t be in this state.” He sighed dramatically.
“That was just a matter of time, mate.” The British younger driver said, chuckling.
“What?”
“I hate to say it, but… You really sold the couple thing.” Miranda completed. “She looks at you like you’re the one.”
“I’m thirty-eight and I’m freaking out just like a teenager trying to deny its first love. And she’s an old friend. Great!” He passed his hands on the loose curls of his hair. “I really didn’t think I could actually feel that.”
………………………………………………………………………..
After another drive to a beautiful sight with no one else, he parked his car in front of your house. Looking at you for a few seconds before he tried to pay attention to something else. You noted that right away, thinking that he did get a bit distant those last few days, especially after his birthday, so you figured out that maybe you said the wrong thing or he found someone to actually be with him, so you would be finishing the contract on the publicity stunt. Well, it was good while it lasted, but it didn’t stop you to feel a heartbreak coming into you. As a mature woman, you breathed in and looked at him.
“Something is wrong with you. Spill it out.”
“Well… Something is wrong. And I need to talk to you about it.”
“Go for it, Hamilton. You know I can take it.”
“What?”
“What?”
“What do you think I’m going to say?”
“That we should end this?”
“Oh… Love. Wait. Listen to me first.” He held both of your hands. “ At the beginning this was to save my ass and to have some company on the weekends, but with all those months being… In this fake relationship made me realise something…” He breathed in, closing his eyes. “I’m in love with you. I don’t want this to be a publicity stunt. I want you to be with me as mine. My girl.”
You put your hand on his cheek, caressing it with your thumb. “I didn’t know you were so romantic.”
He didn’t wait for more and soon his lips were against yours in a calm yet romantic kiss. His hands lowered to your hips, pulling your body closer to his, while he deepened the touch. When air made it necessary, you were almost on his lap and both of your cheeks were bright red.
“Come in with me. I promise there’s no paparazzi waiting for us inside.”
He laughed and got out of the car, opening the door for you as you two rushed inside like horny teenagers.

In Hamilton, many actors in the original cast play two characters- one in the first act, and one in the second act. Lafayette/Jefferson, Lawrence/Phillip, etc.
I would like to argue that Lin Manuel Miranda also plays two characters (however, not in separate acts)- he plays Alexander Hamilton, But he also plays himself (Lin Manuel Miranda).
There are two moments in particular that I like to image we are not looking at the character of Alexander Hamilton for a moment, but rather at Lin as a “character” in the story.
First, in A Winter’s Ball, while narrating, Burr claims that Martha Washington named her cat after Alexander Hamilton, and the character of Alexander leans over and confirms, “That’s true!”. I think it’s kinda fun to think this isn’t “Alexander” saying this, but rather Lin himself making a statement about facts he wrote into the musical. But ultimately, whether you chose to believe this or not has no impact to the story or really that moment at all. So let’s move on to the better example.
At the end of Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story, Phillip Soo and Lin Manuel Miranda walk down the stage, and she finally sees the audience that has gathered for the show: all the people who came to hear the stories that she made sure to record for us to remember. It’s a very impactful moment, no matter how you look at it.
Viewing this moment as if Lin is playing Hamilton, it implies that Eliza is finally being reunited with her husband, and when he leads her to see the audience, they both get to see the impact that she was able to make with the time she was given, and he wasn’t. It’s lovely, again such a great moment 10/10
Viewing this moment as if Lin is playing “himself” changes the implication slightly. Lin Manuel Miranda was ultimately inspired to and was able to write this musical due to the work that Eliza Hamilton did during her life of recording the stories of the people around her. In this moment, perhaps he as the author is showing her how much she has impacted him, and in turn how he would like to continue her legacy by inspiring new people. I think this interpretation gives it a cool twist that makes me think more about storytelling as a whole, how inspiration travels from generation to generation, and perhaps gives some power to the audience.
Something that I hear in that ending moment of Hamilton is, “I have decided to tell this story. What story will you tell?”

Small tangent on Bette Kane and how people treat her
re-reading Beast Boy (2000) in order to really get a sense of where Bette was pre-Batwoman run (2014).
Does anyone else just feel sad whenever Bette brings up Titans West and everyone shoots her down? Objectively, I know that no one thinks Teen Titans West is a great team - especially when people like Hawk and Dove seem better off solo. But you do get a sense of loneliness whenever Bette is so excited at the prospect of getting the band back together.
Tumblr media
Given that it's become sort of a running gag for Bette to suggest reforming Titans West, it is something that DC is aware of.
As the Beast Boy run continues, Gar gets himself into incriminating shapeshifter trouble and is put in a holding cell by the police. Bette goes to help him in her Flamebird costume (notably the one from the 80s).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After reading a lot of her earlier appearances in older Titans comics, this kind of exasperated annoyance when Bette makes an appearance is surprisingly frequent. She doesn't have a great reputation among the other Titans at least.
Later on in issue #2, Nightwing hears of Gar's predicament and goes to LA. In the next issue, he fights an enemy shapeshifter who was impersonating Gar. Bette shows up back in the police station to try and bail Gar out, but her check is invalid and the police officer from the prior issue rips it in half. Bette mentions, confused, that she's never tried to post bail before and that she even borrowed money from her Aunt Kathy. (Knowing that Catherine Hamilton wasn't created until the Batwoman series, I personally think this Kathy is supposed to be Kathy Kane.)
When the police learn that Nightwing is fighting "Beast Boy", the heroes learn that the murders of the previous issues were the cause of an impersonator trying to frame Gar. Bette leaves and goes to help Nightwing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is the first time I've seen Dick and Bette interacting outside of brief Titans crossovers. It's super obvious that he thinks she's annoying and that she's not skilled enough to be a vigilante. He cuts her off mid-speech and tries to sideline her when they fight the shapeshifter. When it inevitable gets away, he puts the blame on her involvement. Later on, he leaves her to deal with the police and the public on her own.
Putting all of these panels together, the writers are making Bette out as not a "real" hero, someone who clings to the past. In comics like this, Bette is always treated like that annoying little girl who doesn't know when to give up. Especially because Bette has never had her own solo comic, all of her characterization comes with the perspective of whoever's run she's cameoing in.
I am willing to concede that Beast Boy is a very early 2000s comic but since Bette is the only other female character in it besides two villains - it doesn't look good overall. Not to mention, this comic still sticks with the continuity of "Bette has a crush on/is obsessed with Nightwing." ANYWAY this leads to some panels that I actually like, even if it comes off rude and a little misogynstic with Dick telling Bette what to do.
Tumblr media
It's that last little declaration of defiance that really solidifies to her character to me. Bette Kane has never needed permission to do anything, especially not being a hero. Also, this kinda puts back into canon that Dick was the inspiration for Bette becoming Flamebird.
When it comes to her characterization, I can't help but feel like she should be (rightly) a little bitter about this convo. When we get her back in Batwoman, Kate doesn't treat her as an equal either and also tries to get her to quit. Bette is a bit younger in the Batwoman run since I think it's post-one of many reboots, but it just adds onto the lack of trust anyone has in her.
Despite being Bruce's cousin, she's a blip in the wider Batman comic-verse. I'm pretty sure Bette hasn't directly interacted with Bruce in a comic, much less anyone other than Dick, Kate, or Cass (once).
All of this goes to say that I'm definitely addressing all of that and making it a main point in my fics. My Flamebird-in-Gotham au came about specifically because I want to reconcile the Bette Kane I like with the way others in-universe treat her. Bette deserves to be treated with respect. Trust me, there will be words had in fanfic form.
(Also bc I just think Bette and Damian interacting would be both interesting and funny).

Hi everyone...
Soooo... 7 of the Tumblr posts that I uploaded in AO3 has just been taken out because of "Non-Fanwork Violation".
These are:
[Fic Idea] What Assassin’s Creed Characters Would Be in a Destiny AU
[Fic Idea] Frozen AU
[Fic Idea] Altaïr gets roped into community theatre
[Fic Idea] Ratonhnhaké:ton watches Hamilton
[Fic Idea] The League of Assassins was part of the Assassin Brotherhood
[Fic Idea] Desmond as Frankenstein's Monster
[Fic Idea] Mushroom Kingdom Branch of the Assassin Brotherhood
It's apparently because of this part: Prompts, ideas for fanworks, and requests for inspiration are not fanworks and should not be posted as works. Instead, please use our prompt challenge feature to post or solicit prompts. For more information about prompt challenges, please refer to our FAQ: https://archiveofourown.org/faq/prompt-meme
They already placed a warning on my account and asked me to check my other works. I'm not sure what counts as ideas only and what can be spared so I guess I'll just delete all from Tumblr just to be sure since I don't really know what counts as ideas to them and what's okay. The ones that will survive will be A Welcoming Darkness, Hijack, A Short Rest and The Progenitor of Darkness since those three appear more or less like usual fanfics.
The rest I'll delete on Monday morning before uploading Eagle of Alamut.
"So teecup, what do you plan to do about archiving the ideas and prompts here in tumblr?"
idk. The email pretty much bummed me out so I have no real plan at the moment. Kinda sad since I finally reached January 2023 and this week's uploading was supposed to include the Pigeon!Desmond and Deaged Desmond Gets Mistaken as Fenrir in AC Valhalla ideas among others.

President Ellen Claremont's Oval Office
youtube
I was kinda delighted Prime put up a video about this set because with regards to American govt (I'm not from there) a thing that fascinates me is the transfer of power once the reins are handed over to someone else. A lot goes into that and perhaps the most visually fascinating detail is how the Oval Office changes with each President.
The Oval Office is viewed as the POTUS' formal place of work. It is also a reflection of the kind of administration they want to be remembered for. This is why, prior to their Inauguration, the President-elect often looks to history for figures that inspire them and that represent what they are fighting for.
For example, when Joe Biden was sworn in in 2021, his redesign of the office reflected themes mentioned both in his campaign and in his inauguration speech. Benjamin Franklin's portrait to the side of the resolute desk, reflecting his administration's commitment to science. FDR above the fireplace, a sign of the promise of economic recovery - flanked by portraits of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. The latter two were chosen to represent Biden's commitment to bipartisanship, to work with the opposition to get things done and bills passed. Busts around the office show figures representing the fight for racial justice (Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks), and labour unions (Cesar Chavez).

In contrast, his predecessor Trump had put up a portrait of Andrew Jackson on the wall at the side of the Resolute Desk, and a bust of Winston Churchill.
Keeping that in mind, what are the things we notice straight off the bat in President Claremont's Oval Office?
Most prominent are the portraits we see on the walls - Lincoln to the wall on the side of her Resolute Desk, FDR above the fireplace. Lincoln for his role in abolishing slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation, and FDR for his role in helping America recover from the Great Depression.

Taylor (as Alex) also speaks about the use of pioneering women in the oval office, both in portraits and busts.

A portrait of the famed social activist who played an important role in the abolitionist movement, Harriet Tubman, is shown prominently to the side of the Oval Office fireplace, representing the role of Black women in the fight to end slavery.

a bust of what I'm assuming may be Eleanor Roosevelt (? I couldn't quite figure out who it was despite searching - can anyone help with this one?). If it is her, then it's likely there to commemorate her advocacy for expanded roles for women in the workplace during her time, among other achievements.

and a statue of Lady Justice, with her blindfold and scales. There's also - according to an interview with the set designer Miren Marañón - small statues of a Valkyrie warrior and Lady Liberty to further emphasize the significance of Ellen being the first women to hold the office of POTUS
Given Ellen's background in the books and the decoration of the office in the film, the themes that were meant to define her administration could have been economic progress, racial justice and women's rights. Her decorative choices for the office itself reflect her knowledge that she is the first female president, and the understanding that that role in history comes with its own weight and baggage.
Towards the end of her first term and going into her second, there is a possibility her history will also include the way she and her administration handled her son's forced coming-out, perhaps with expectations for more visibility on LGBTQ issues. Alex and Henry's relationship, the violation of their privacy and the way Alex and the Claremont administration handled the "scandal", and Alex's own words about the rights of queer individuals will have significant impact moving forward in the story's universe.
Ellen and her family are making history in the White House...in more ways than one.

Oh oh so you’re gonna have the Dimileth fic kinda go like Meghan and Henry with the media and tabloids being obnoxiously racist? I’d love to see that!
I don't want to give to many spoilers but so I'll just say kindaaaa.
This story was inspired a bit by Crazy Rich Asian, a bit by Spencer, a bit by Red White and Royal Blue, a bit by the Crown, a bit by my love of gossip and video essay on youtube.
Specially with Red White & Royal Blue, this video I watched joked about how the book felt like it's from the Obama/Hamilton™ era as it is clearly optimistic about government (and by extension, the British monarchy.) We had a black president, gay marriage was legal, Thomas Jefferson had a miku binder, racism was literally over.
I did not want to do that. I know why RW&RB did what it did, queer & poc people deserve our cheesy fictional romcom where we can overlook the horrors of the monarchy/government for the sake of wish fulfillment. If the Straights can have a million hallmark prince charming movies, we should too. But, what I thought was odd was that RWRB did mention how horrible, outdated, and oppressive the monarchy is, and yet Prince Henry still stays in the family? The monarchy just becomes progressive overnight? Storytelling wise, I thought that was an odd choice. Why even mention the horrors™ if you're not going to address them critically? I honestly think that why Yuri on Ice did it better. By just having an alternate world where homophobia(and racism) doesn't exist, you can just have your cute queer/poc romcom.
I have been (trying) to set up that the monarchy is bad, both to its members and because of its ties to British colonialism. Like I strongly believe that you can't just slap a rainbow flag on the monarchy and call it a day. Dimitri's mom was pushed to an extreme and was not given any of the mental health support she needed. Rodrigue tried to comfort Felix by saying that at least Glenn died in service of the Crown (while they were literally doing colonizer things in the Middle East). Rhea's mom was a random civilian killed by loyalists (*cough cough colonizers*) Sitri was forced to go to a residential school to be Christianized and stripped of her culture. Both events are rooted in British colonialism and by extension, the monarchy and its legacy.
I just think it would be irresponsible of me to have Byleth, a half-indigenous half-Irish girl, and not address it. Like irl the tabloids and the monarchy couldn't be normal about Meghan Markle, what would they say about our favorite working class autistic brown rural girl?
Anyway, it will come up soon! (Next chapter will conclude Rhea's story, then some hospital stuff, and then Rufus is introduced? So next three chapters? I don't know how the chapters will break but it's coming)
Thank you for the ask and interest in the story, I love talking about it! :D

MORE REFS FOR SING TILL YOU CAN'T CHARACTERS!!
This time all of them are tall lol XD
Info under the cut (btw, some info about the rest of the characters (mainly their voice claims) were changed, I'll do something about it a bit later)
Charles and Barry are the King in the Human Realm - 2 out of 3, in fact. The rest of the characters on the ref sheet are the five Overlords of the End Realm, who rule next to Raff. They're all responsible for different things (I will say later) and of course, come from different realms too. Charles and Barry have personal beef with Tim, hahaha.
Charles Drew - Human - he/him - Pansexual - 27 y.o - The King of Clubs. He is one of the Kings in the Human Realm. - (Inspired by: Thomas Jefferson from Hamilton Musical, Vox from Hazbin Hotel, Sammy Lawrence from BatIM) - Voice Claim (for now): Christian Borle
Bartholomew Brachet (Barry) - Human - he/they/she - Asexual - 30 y.o - The King of Spades. Rules the Human Realm along with Charles and another King. Mostly acts as scary dog privilege. - (Inspired by: Maui from Moana, Repair Androids from Doctor Who (The Girl in the Fireplace) ((very specific, I know))) - Voice Claim (for now): Black Gryph0n
Zachary - Ziz/Gryphon - she/he - Lesbian - 20 y.o - The Lady of the Word. The youngest of the Overlords in the End Realm, who's responsible for the people and is their voice. She was banished from the Occult Realm, but not even she knows why. - (Inspired by: me, to be fair) - Voice Claim (for now): Penelope Scott
Chantal - Gargoyle - he/him - Straight - 40 y.o - The Lord of the Earth. The oldest of the Overlords in the End Realm who's responsible for everything on the ground (agriculture, for example). Left the Occult Realm by himself. - (Inspired by: no one, I think. (maybe a bit of Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel went into his behavior haha)) - Voice Claim (for now): Jeremy Jordan
Delmar - A spirit - she/her - Straight - 37 y.o - The Lady of the Seas. One of the Overlords in the End Realm, who's responsible for everything in the Seas. She's also Master to all Sea/Water Fairies. Was banished from the Void Realm for going against the rulers (might've killed someone). - (Inspired by: La Llorona, Ballora from FNaF) - Voice Claim (for now): Carmen Goett
Gua-Yin Hsü - Ghost (previously Angel) - she/he/they - Aroace - 38 y.o - The Lady of the Dead. The most mysterious (and tallest) Overlord, who's responsible for the Dead. People in the End Realm cannot escape by simply dying. Was banished from the Ether Realm but used to be a ruler there. - (Inspited by: Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy in Chinese folk religion, as well as King Yan, the God of Death; Queen Angela from She-Ra) - No voice claim yet, but I take requests!
Caelus - Angel (by this universe's definition) - he/him - Bisexual - 35 y.o - The Lord of the Sky. The Overlord who is responsible for everything in the sky (duh). Was banished from the Ether Realm alongside Gua-Yin Hsü and ruled that realm alongside her. - (No real inspiration, but pls don't compare him to Amon from My Movie 14, it's a coincidence that they look kinda similar T_T) - Voice Claim: Benjamin Stuart Steele

Late Night Wishes
Tumblr media
Inspired by a song from Hamilton. 
I feel like Yuri would be a hella simp for his s/o, loving them more then most people. Excluding his sister, he holds his sister to higher regard but the kinda love he has with his wife would be different from the love he has for his sister.
Tumblr media
tw: none
Tumblr media
In the early morning night, you wake up to an empty bed, though reaching out you could feel the faintest traces of warmth. Confused, the clock on the table only read 5:46, almost 6 in the morning. Where was Yuri? Your husband. Slowly but surely, you get up and peer out the room with tired eyes, crust forming as you feel the cool night air from an open window. Who would leave windows open at this time? ‘Probably yuri… must have been why I woke up.’
Roaming the hall in just a thin nightgown, your feet tipped toed into a side office, one belonged to the ravenette she dearly loved. The man hunched over a desk, scribbling down notes over a burning metal lamp. Rubbing your eyes, you knock on the door frame, startling him a bit. “Yuri, come back to sleep”
“I have an early meeting out of town,” brushing it off, he continues his work. Needing this report ready before he enters work today, as it is critical to his promotion. 
“It's still dark outside.” You slump over to him, squinting at the bright light before gently wrapping your thin arms around his shoulders, leaning over his head to take a peek of what he was working one. But the words were all muddled together and her eyes watered easily. She was still tired and just wanted to go back to bed with her husband. 
“I know… I just need to write something down”
“Why do you write like you're running out of time?” Kissing his head, Yuri smirked at his wife’s antics, seeing just how tired she really was. Rubbing her arms with his hand, he tries to finish up what he’s doing to maybe have a little more time to cuddle before work. But seeing as he left it all for the last minute, he doubts that. But he can only stay hopeful. 
“Shhh~”
“Come back to bed. That would be enough.” Kissing his cheek, you rub his chest before seeing that he will not budge.
“I'll be back before you know I'm gone.” Returning the favor, he kisses her lips lightly which leave her flushed, heart beating as he stared deeply in her eyes. Almost as if he was seeing into her soul, tingly pins pricking her feet before he breaks the contact and clears up his desk. Packing his satchel, he sighs as it was already 6:15, needing to leave now or he might end up late. 
Gently, he takes her arm and leads her back to the room. He might as well take you back to bed and make sure you get a full night's rest while he’s out. But once Yuri leads the tired woman to her bedroom, she stops him to pull him into a deep kiss. A knot forms in his stomach from her needy antics, holding her waist as she grips his white-t, swaying as they stand in the early night. 
Leaning up, she whispers quietly, whining as she holds him close to her chest. “Come back to sleep.” 
“This meeting's at dawn,” voice low, reverting against her skin and sending chills down her spine. But she was tired and if he wasn’t going to sleep with her, then she might as well go to bed now and cuddle with his pillow for comfort. Letting go, she signs in defeat before teasingly kissing his nose, smiling softly at his caring gaze. “Well, I'm going back to sleep.”
Patting his shoulder, she waddles back to bed and flops down. Ignoring his chuckling and the feeling of a blanket covering her in, she is quick to pass out with the blessing of a goodnight kiss upon her temple. Her husband’s loving gaze leaves her feeling protected, not really hearing what he said before he left the room. 
“Best of wives and best of women.”

just a silly crush (not) pt. 1.5
pairing : daniel ricciardo x childhood friend-brabham!reader ; lewis hamilton x reader (implied, platonic relationship)
summary : lewis make sure that you and daniel finally talk after the bahrain incident. or he will take matters in his own way.
warning: unedited and rushed work (I GOT INSPIRED AFTER TWO CANS OF REDBULL RAAAAAAHHHH), harsh words, childhood trauma (kinda), slowburn.
a/n : this is an extra chapter where lewis playing cupid for you and daniel. you can definitely skipped this chapter since this chapter is originally added to the first chapter.
Tumblr media
consider tonight's meeting (and reconciliation) a huge success, totally worth the money you spent on the party. one of perks of being the daughter of david brabham is that your can splurge on unimportant things; this party, for example, and your father won't even bat an eye.
and maybe the fact that you are one of high paid supermodel–plus an actress so you don't think about money that much.
other than this party, you really need to thank max for his genius plan. maybe a new watch or some new designer clothes for the dutch will do.
"(y/n)!"
you turned your body, eyes lit up at the view of the mighty lewis hamilton.
"what took you so long?" you asked, hugging the brit as he kiss your temple.
for some people lewis's gesture might be mistaken as love-like affection. but of course you know that it is not like that at all. lewis had always see you as his annoying little sister who he love dearly and you saw him as the big brother you never had. while you do have a younger brother, sam, things with you and lewis are just... different.
"if i say traffic, would you believe me?" he sheepishly said.
and to that you let out a dry–mocking–laugh. "really? traffic? here in monaco?" you said.
"alright alright. i might–i said might–met binotto." he stated, letting out a sigh.
"mattia binotto? that's-"
"ferrari's current principal, yes." he nod, hands snug inside his pockets.
"they want you huh? interesting." you said, fingers cradling your own jaw.
although you hate formula one, you being the daughter of david brabham of course would know a thing or two. including all the current principals of all 10 teams.
lewis let out a chuckle, shrugging his shoulder. "maybe."
you rolled your eyes at his attic, shaking your head at his secretiveness. he won't be able to keep any secret from you, you're too smart for that. and lewis is aware.
what is not so smart of you is your inability to figure out about daniel's hints and feeling for the past 10 plus years. maybe more, lewis believe.
he always notice how daniel's eyes always lights up when he saw your instagram posts, or your appearance at the latest fashion magazine. he even rambling non-stop at your first big screen debut in 2017, not only to his teammate max, but to almost all the driver on the grid. almost, because most of the drivers are just confused and was there to humor the aussie. sebastian vettel though–god bless that man–always there for him, sharing the same excitement even cheering him up.
he also remember how dejected he looks when your father visited one of the race in 2015, hoping that you would show up beside your father despite your hatred towards the sport. but instead, he saw sam, your younger brother, calmly walking beside your father.
so it is safe to say he knew it all too well. and he honestly feel sort of sympathy for both you and daniel.
"have you talk to him yet?" he asked, averting the conversation about his meeting with binotto.
"that, i have." you simply said, grabbing two glass of champagne passed by the waitress.
lewis gracefully accept the other glass and clinked his glass with yours. "and how it goes?"
you went silent, gnawing your bottom lip nervously. "it went... well." you said, voice unsure.
"oh?"
"he asked me to watch the race. in monza." you stated.
lewis nods, letting out an acknowledgement hum as he sip his champagne.
"you should come, (y/n). its been 10 years since his first race, and yet, you haven't attend any of them in person." he simply stated.
"well i did watch the race from my house in monaco." you muttered. lewis shaking his head to your reaction.
"its not fair for him, you know? you guys are best friend for almost 20 years now, you said it yourself."
yeah, bestfriend. he thought.
you went silence, eyes trailed down to the floor. the expensive marble beneath your louboutin heels seems more interesting than lewis now, and he notice.
"i just don't want you to live in regrets in the future, (y/n)" he said, patting your shoulder as he walk away from you–giving you some space to think about what he just said.
"i know lewis." you whisper to yourself.
Tumblr media
daniel, who currently enjoying his alone time at the bar, was greeted with a familiar figure walking towards him. he fix his posture, sitting straighter as the figure sat beside him and he watch in silent. daniel is still wary of this man so he just wait for him to break the silence first.
"let me join you for awhile, mate." he said.
"lewis."
"honeybadger."
hearing his nickname make daniel chuckle. thanks to you who actually give him that nickname years ago, back when you and him still go karting together, it stuck with him. and honestly he don't mind. because it was given by you.
"no company?" lewis simply asked.
"well, i was dragged by the ferrari duo, little lando, and the lovebird but they are gone now." daniel explain, politely asking the bartender for another refill.
"the lovebird?"
"max and kelly."
"ah, yes... the new hot couple." lewis nods, flashing his charming smile at the younger driver.
"yeah, i don't want to be a thirdwheel or dancing with dj norris and his two minions so here i am." he said, returning the smile to his senior as he pointed at the dj podium where lando is already getting on. carlos and charles was dancing like a maniac with drinks on their hands.
lewis raised his eyebrows, genuinely shocked and impressed at the young brit secret talent as a dj. "never knew little lando is a party animal." he said.
"i might be the one who responsible for that–to be a party animal i mean." daniel chuckled, shaking his head.
"well, he learn from the best then." and with that both daniel and lewis share a laugh, clinking their glass together.
as daniel enjoy his 3rd? 4th? glass of whiskey that night, lewis give him a small pats on his back. and daniel, confused at the gesture, watch lewis with a small frown.
"you have the patience of a saint, daniel. i won't last that long if i were you," he said, finishing his drink. "i gave up after got rejected for a second date."
lewis's cryptic messages, plus the familiar tipsy feeling, make him confused even more.
"huh?"
"goodluck, mate. i am rooting for you." he said, flashing him a smile before walking away from him.
"what just happen..." daniel muttered as he finish his glass of whiskey and decided to join dj norris and the minions.
what a night...
