Hello new and old friends alike!! Please see this regularly updated one-stop shop for frequently used tags, links to fics, headcanons, etc :) Here's my about, here's faqs, here's my list of ships/favs.
I'm mostly back from being on semi-hiatus, but motherhood calls so I won't be on a strict weekly upload schedule for fics! You can always find ficlets/carlando headcanon under the hibi writes or carlando headcanons tags!
Here for proper Carlando fics? See below for links and summaries to stories I've put up on AO3. Each AU has a corresponding tumblr tag!
ONGOING
a world alone series
Ongoing, mostly canon-compliant, established Carlando au that begins in Sochi 2021. my "canon" series; untagged headcanons are usually set in a world alone.
"From their first meeting at the end of 2018, through their years together at McLaren, through divergent career paths, through blossoming love and love solidified, Lando and Carlos always felt that they had something special. It turns out, they were right; and it was the world that needed to catch up."
TAG HERE for TONS more headcanons.
what becomes a tempest
Modern, dark academia AU with original magic system. Ongoing!
"Lando Norris worked hard to get into one of the best casting schools in the world, in the hopes that he would learn how to control, and how to use his wild magic. What he did not expect was to be roomed with the scion of the Sainz family, a famous, ancient casting family. And while he eventually grows to like Carlos, despite his own inherent crackliness, there's something about Carlos that feels off..."
COMPLETE
¡Revolución!
My magnum opus. Complete.
"19-year-old Lando Norris, originally from the Kingdom of Anglosax, decides to pursue his undergraduate degree at the State University of Hiberia. There, he strikes up a relationship with a 25-year old Hiberian man, Carlos Sainz. Carlos is beautiful, kind, and deeply passionate about the Hiberian people and their struggles. Though Lando knows very little about he wants out of life, he knows one thing: he desperately wants Carlos. But against the backdrop of an increasingly tumultuous political situation in Hiberia, will Lando be brave enough to open his heart to all of Carlos?"
the shadow of radiance
Medieval knights/royal AU. Complete, with two epilogues (and a sequel one day??).
"No one expected Galla, protector state of the Holy Principality of Seuloger, to turn heretic in such a violent way. After several years of Galla-stoked hostilities short of war, Anglosax and Hiberia set aside their differences in favor of a grand alliance to return Il Predestinato, Charles of House Leclerc, back to his rightful and Goddess-ordained throne. Years later, as a gesture of goodwill, Hiberia sends several of its squires to Fort Silverstone, where Anglosax's finest pages and squires learn to become fierce knights. Squire Lando of Norris, loyal to Anglosax beyond words, must contend with his own distrust of the leader of this Hiberian contingent - Prince Carlos the Younger of Sainz, a newly minted and already-decorated Knight of Hiberia. Prince Carlos is immensely talented, kind, suspiciously handsome, and seemingly dedicated to this alliance. But Lando isn't buying any of it - for the sake of Anglosax. Allegedly."
how good it feels to be needed
Long one-shot, slow-burn.
"Carlos Sainz is a personal chef who finds himself hired by Lando Norris, a young millionaire and CEO of Quadrant Design and Product Development. Lando is also, as it turns out, too busy to remember to eat, let alone cook. Over the course of nine months, Carlos' affection for Lando - his client and boss, technically - grows immeasurably, and perhaps to Carlos' own detriment."
proof
One-shot, first-time.
Lando and Carlos get high in their first off-season period as teammates, and Lando lets slip that people seem to think they must be having sex, given how close they are. Carlos takes that as a dare. And Lando is not one to back down.
once more to see you
Renaissance Sculptor Lando/Perfumer Carlos AU. One-shot, slow-burn.
“Lando Norris - proud hater of all things change - has never been one to take leaps of faith. But when he decides to move to Vitulia on a whim and beg master sculptor Lewis Hamilton to take him on as an apprentice, he finds it harder and harder to not take leaps of faith - particularly once he meets the owner of a new perfumery, Carlos Sainz. Except Lando doesn't know a word of Vitulian, and Carlos doesn't know a word of Anglo. Fuck.”
beneath his boughs
Ballet dancer Lando/Conductor Carlos AU. One-shot.
"Carlos Sainz, conductor of the Royal Ballet Company's orchestra, loves his job. When the Company's principal dancer announces his sudden departure, Carlos doesn't see why it ought to affect his work.
Until he actually meets the new principal dancer. And his world reels."
