Call It What You Want To

lando norris x oscar piastri - college au!

based on taylor swift’s “call it what you want” and ann liang’s “this time it’s real” status: on-going trope: fake dating, slow burn, fwb, nepo baby oscar, model lando, engineering major! oscar, business major! lando, mutual pining, idiots in love

Summary:

Oscar Piastri didn’t mean to start a school-wide scandal.

But when his “fictional” love essay goes viral across campus and the entire media, everyone thinks it’s real. Which is awkward, considering the boyfriend in question doesn’t exist. Unfortunately for Oscar, being a Piastri means his private life isn’t personal—it’s business. His powerful, reputation-obsessed parents now expect to meet this perfect mystery boyfriend. And whoever Oscar dates? They better be someone who brings value to the family name.

Enter: Lando Norris. Model. Golden Boy. Media darling.

And currently, the center of a PR disaster thanks to a false dating rumor linking him to a problematic, tabloid-loving model and socialite.

George, their mutual friend, sees potential when others see disaster. So he sets them up.

Oscar walks in with a plan; Lando walks in with an open mind and a quietly hopeful heart.

What begins as a mutually beneficial arrangement turns into something much messier, because falling for your fake boyfriend wasn’t part of the deal. And Oscar is very good at pretending.

Until he’s not.

posted chapter 2 for this!!

[paulusion]

"I am the best. If you think otherwise its better to stay at home“

the ‘non-champion mentality’ in my opinion is one of the most damaging concepts of all. In other words it means: if you struggle with self-doubt, lack of self-confidence or mental health in general, you are not capable of success. This mindset acts as if you always have to be unwavering, uncompromising and above all doubt to get ahead. It takes a huge amount of skill, grit and determination to get into formula 1. 

Lando is here and to decide to judge a f1 driver on his ability as you sit on your couch is crazy. We tend to want to transfer mindsets directly onto ourselves, magically change our thoughts and value without question the least.

Success has many faces - and mental challenges do not rule that out, they make it even more significant.

Yea thats it thank you for listening.

[dearbongjae]

can someone write a fic where galex schemes with each other by getting landoscar padel lessons for them to finally get together i need it please

[inchidentally]

something about how Lando repeatedly has said how he and Oscar are the strongest teammate pairing and work together better than any other

and how Oscar always puts the burden of responsibility for a result on himself alone and sees Lando and the team as the people he's proving himself to

and how Lando celebrates with the team by being passed around to each of them like a long wished-for newborn baby and Oscar celebrates by ducking his head and immersing himself into the team's masses and looking for what Lando's doing

Lando embodies the team's - and Oscar's - emotions; Oscar absorbs the team's and Lando's emotions

how Lando says he deals with tough times by reminding himself of the good times and looking forward to them

and Oscar says he views success in terms of having it "on the books" and deals with tough times by an onward and upward attitude

how Lando has gone through so much to stay with McLaren and Oscar went through so much just to get to McLaren

and how neither of them even remotely skirt the issue and state that McLaren is where they are happy and where they plan to remain and "for many years to come" and "look forward to many more" and Lando saying "all these years" before realizing he and Oscar were only on their second season together.

how they weren't in any rush to turn their relationship into A Thing or a meme ship name and didn't force the friendship to happen until it felt comfortable because they had a job to do for the team and fundamentally had to avoid the Them of it all from interfering in that in any way - that they put the team first and Them second and look how that's resulted in them being what they'll tell you is the best partnership on the grid.

Lando being regularly misunderstood and vilified because his reaction to severe stress is emotional hyper-vulnerability, Oscar being misunderstood and vilified because his reaction to severe stress is to shut down and withdraw emotionally.

Lando is beloved but also infantilized. Oscar is respected but also dehumanized. Lando is loved and hated for his emotions and compensates by portraying himself as stupid or brainless so please don't think he's an asshole based on that one poorly worded quote. Oscar is admired and distrusted for his emotional regulation and compensates by saying he's just boring and self-deprecation so please don't see him as an evil robot just because that response was by rote instead of from the heart.

Lando openly says how he feels about team orders and conflicting results; Oscar says that's just how racing goes sometimes because everyone's out to win. Lando feels the highs and the lows in equal extremes because he needs to feel things; Oscar often withholds his visceral extremes because he needs to feel them when he feels safe. (which is why we only see That Smile on him when it's Lily, Lando, his mum and dad, and now winning the championship with McLaren)

their relationship formed with the absolutely least expectations and has followed not a single beat of PR advice and they don't post on social media when they hang out socially and they got their privacy door separating their drivers rooms away from everyone and sharing a hallway only with each other and they have their own private debriefs and agreed about the sprint swap without telling the team. they react to huge expectation races by staying glued together even during driver parades and down time despite being around each other all the rest of the race weekends. when a race doesn't have as much gravitas is when they feel happy going to separate groups.

people think Oscar getting awkward on camera and sticking to scripts will hurt Lando's feelings but the result is Lando beaming at him fondly and giggling. people think Lando wanting to spend paddock time with his many close friends on the grid will hurt Oscar's feelings but half the time Oscar is happily watching Lando with them (maybe more than half the time) or bringing up said friendship for non reason all on his own. or making an effort to get to know those guys specifically himself.

like idk there's just something about the extremes of fans on Lando and Oscar's respective sides so fully Not Getting the guy they claim to stan so hard for and it being proven most clearly by how they always expect the exact opposite reaction from their guy to Lando/Oscar respectively. they expect either bloodshed or PR overtime and instead it's just blurry footage of Lando and Oscar laughing while waiting for a private jet or a story of them sulking at Alex for beating them at a board game or a post race video where they were already laughing with each other before realizing the camera was on and they were rolling. in the best possible way it feels like they just look at these people chewing concrete "on their behalf" and laugh in that creepy perfectly matched giggle they do sometimes.

Job's not done, and Andrea will be happy that I say it, but, you know. I'm proud to be on this journey, to have been on it with McLaren for so many years.
