[f1-pussy-curse-fest]

Announcement: f1 pussy curse fest is coming NEXT MONTH

What is it? An f1 fest focused on one of our most beautiful tropes, the pussy curse and its close sister, turned into a girl. It will be a chill promt based fest that also allows you to do your own thing and there will be no minimum wordcount.

Wait what's a pussy curse? Pussy curse or 'woke up with a pussy' is a trope where a character who previously didn't have a pussy suddenly gets one. It's a flexible trope that allows for any cause of a sudden pussy and any method of getting their dick back, though orgasm or getting fucked are common ones. Sometimes the curse is known to characters and sometimes it's a surprise new pussy and they have to figure out what to do. This trope encompasses any sudden magical genital change.

When will it happen? Promting and sign-ups open: July 15 Prompting closes: August 15 Reveals: October 15

Who is behind this? @the-odds-are-there and @forcederror

Please spread the word!! Reblog and tell all your friends and discord servers!!

[reythemandalor]

I just posted a little lestappen one shot called don’t make noise but daddy’s kissing boys if anyone is interested :)

[formulaficrecs]

some fics make me feel sick to the stomach (/pos) and this is deffo one lf them

[sixteensecrets]

you are a bottom charles truther, which i immensely respect. does that change with chollie, though? or is charles still bottoming in that dynamic? sorry if it’s an odd question, i saw the ollie gifset you reblogged and it came to mind haha. have a lovely day!!

Kind of a mixed answer- I’m always open to reading top Charles with any pairing, but I’ve never felt compelled to write anything besides bottom Charles!

And with Chollie, I can deny there’s something really delicious to me about the thought of Charles thinking he’s going to be the one calling the shots in the bedroom, only for him to get completely rocked by Ollie’s young energy and puppy level excitement at finally getting a shot with his crush.

Charles goes into that hotel room thinking this hookup is going to be him blowing Ollie’s mind by bouncing on his dick and crooning to him that he’s being such a good boy for Charles… But before he knows it, he’s the one whimpering and drooling into the sheets while Ollie pounds into him from behind, blowing Charles’ back out, kneading his ass and babbling about how “hot, you’re so fucking hot Charles” and how he has the “tightest little hole, fucking hell” and how Ollie has “wanted this so badly, you have no idea, baby”.

Ollie makes Charles come so hard that he sees stars.

…And then, not even thirty minutes later, Ollie wakes him up from his afterglow doze, cuddled up against his back, pawing at him, kissing his neck wet and sloppy, and begging Charles to let him fuck him again, please Charles, he’ll make it so so good-

It’s a long night 🤭

[lestappen-inchident-fest]

WE! WANT! YOU! FOR THE LESTAPPEN INCHIDENT FEST 2026!

are you sick of the ai fics in our tags on ao3? do you miss the amount of fanfic created between 2021 and 2023? do you crave a specific prompt that nobody has written yet?

fear not, for here is our official lestappen prompt fic fest 2026!

key dates: prompting is open now, fics need to be submitted by September 30th and will be revealed on October 8th - right between Max's and Charles' birthdays!

rules:

this is a prompt based fic fest - prompts will be randomly chosen by authors

all prompts/prompt fills should center around lestappen - everything is fine as long as they are the main ship

all other drivers and background ships are welcome, but the main focus is max and charles!

AI generated fics are NOT allowed!

all media (fics, art, etc.) is permitted

works will be shared ONLY on tumblr/ao3! (since this is focused on lestappen and not necessarily on just one half of the pair, fanart may not be driver-centric, so we hope you understand the reticence for other platforms to be involved)

minimum word count for fics should be 1.500 words

multi-chapter fics are allowed as long as you have the first chapter ready for the posting date on october 8th

who can participate: anyone can prompt and write for the fest!

have fun! this is a casual, fun event that isn't meant to stress you out.

prompting and sign-up is open now

important reminder: if you post the fic early to the collection, you will have to change the posting date once the collection goes live. we will send out reminders when the fics are uploaded.

hosted by @mothlau and @darlingboydiaz - if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us

[formulaficrecs]

this is going to be awesome!!

[laura1633]

the way that we're labelling Kimi's obsession with Max as an Oediups Complex is so funny to me because yes it's true, but we also have to acknowledge that Oedipus actually had no idea he was marrying his mother, meanwhile Kimi 100% knows what he is doing and is Satisfied with it

LMAO this is so true because before when I posted about Kimi and Lestappen I was about to say that it was giving Oedipus vibes and then decided to just say Greek mythology vibes because he absolutely knows and he absolutely doesn't care.

[foxlaren]

welcome to foxlaren’s landoscar tasting menu!

have you been craving some fine dining? have you been starving for new fics? look no further! i've prepared a small tasting menu of works i enjoyed recently so you can pick and choose at your leisure. there's no common theme here, other than quality and flavour.

★★★ (these are michelin stars btw)

bon appétit!

entrées: short and light, the perfect amuse-bouche.

consolation prize by @ghostlap (2.2k, one-shot, rated m) ingredients: making out, fluff, post chinese gp 2026 summary: “We could make out,” Lando says. Oscar shrugs. “Yeah. We could.” Lando laughs, and so does Oscar when Lando bumps their shoulders together. And they laugh and laugh, and on the TV Lewis overtakes Charles, and amidst it all Oscar says, “I'm so serious.”

effortlessly, i feel everything by @softosc (4.3k, one-shot, rated t) ingredients: fluff, domestic, first 'i love you' summary: “Miami?” Lando asks abruptly, half puzzled, half amused. He lifts his head up from Oscar’s shoulder, coming eye to eye with the boy who definitely looks like he’s been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. The thing is, the back traces have always been absentminded. Oscar does it without thinking, and Lando receives it the same way—welcomes it, without question. “Yes,” Oscar says simply. “It’s Miami." Lando breaks out in a laugh. “Jesus, you’re desperate for a race, aren’t you.”

respectability politics by @monacobby (3k, one-shot, rated e) ingredients: face-fucking, d/s undertones, post cardgate summary: It shouldn’t be this easy, but that’s the thing with Oscar, it always is. As much as they pretend, as much as Oscar likes to think he’s got a choice in the matter, Lando knows there’s never a choice when it comes to him. And Oscar likes it, giving Lando what he wants. Or: A birthday card, an Instagram comment, and lessons in respect.

main courses: you probably won't finish these in one sitting, but they're oh so worth it.

wishbone by @peachbel1ini (35.6k, completed, rated e) ingredients: magical realism, body swap, first time summary: Oscar knows something is wrong as soon as he wakes up, his face pressed into a neck that smells of florals and fruit, and his dick reaching a good two inches further down his thigh than usual.

force of attachment by @adaine (52.3k, completed, rated e) ingredients: star wars au, fake relationship, bodyguard summary: Oscar is a Padawan, eager to complete his trials and become a proper Jedi Knight after a decade of training. When his master sends him on a solo mission to fly around the Outer Rim and protect some rich bloke from the Core, he's frustrated, but he might wind up learning a bit more than he expected from his time with Lando.

weight of the earth by @justsyyknow (187.3k, ongoing, rated e) ingredients: folklore genetics au (so good!!!), predator/prey, macrophilia summary: Lando's a folklore geneticist fresh out of his PhD. He bums around his shared flat in Berlin, goes on mental health walks, gets stoned regularly, and tries to convince funding bodies (and himself) that his research is worth supporting. Oscar is a rising star in the world of motorsports who accidentally discovers himself to be the carrier of a previously unknown, but seemingly very dangerous Gene, which could easily end his career and potentially a few lives. Fred, Lando's roommate and Oscar's friend, may have a solution to both of their problems.

unbreak the bonds by @lellabellas (21.4k, ongoing, rated m) ingredients: fantasy au, prince!lando x noble!osc summary: "Oscar, right?" Prince Lando asks with a grin, immediately dispensing of titles. Highly presumptive of him. "Yes," Oscar replies, curt. Lando steps to the edge of the fighting ring and gives Oscar a once over, his piercing eyes making Oscar's skin itch. His hair is matted to his forehead with sweat and his loose, grey tunic smeared with dirt, yet the prince moves with the unmistakable poise of nobility, leaning on a fence post as comfortably as he might over a palace balcony. "You're taller than I expected," Lando says in assessment. "Do you spar, Oscar?" "Yes," Oscar responds, even more terse. All noble sons are given a practice sword as soon as they learn to walk, no matter how peaceful their realms claim to be. To have no skill in sparring at his age would be an embarrassment. His irritation goes either unnoticed or unanswered as the corner of Lando's lip raises into a sly smirk. "Does my lord speak any words other than 'yes?'" Oscar simply shrugs in response. He will not rise to the bait.

zero cycle by @evilgustofwind (60.8k, ongoing, rated e) ingredients: minecraft speedrunning au, driver! lando x speedrunner!osc summary: Lando attaches the blushy, pouty photo and sends it, then locks his phone and drops it onto the carpet beside him, staring up at the ceiling. There’s a pause, stretching suspiciously long. A faint click echoes through the call. Mute. Then unmute again. “Sorry,” OP says when he comes back, his voice rougher now. “Thought someone was at the door.” Or: Lando loses an F1 championship and signs up for a charity Minecraft speedrunning tournament to cope with his existential crisis. Turns out his coach, faceless speedrunning champion OP81, might be a bit of a fanboy.

desserts: rich, sweet, indulgent treats that melt in your mouth. you deserve it.

love you out loud by @nyoomfruits (10.5k, one-shot, rated t) ingredients: office au, fluff, valentine's day, idiots to lovers summary: “We are playing spin the bottle,” Charles says. “It is very good team bonding. I feel very bonded to my coworkers now.” “Because you were making out with them?” George exclaims, outraged. “Well,” Franco says, with a shrug. “Not really making out. More like. love pecks. Collegial love pecks? Aside from Lando and Oscar. They were definitely making out.”

thoughts of you keep me up at night by @jesterlavorrre (10.8k, one-shot, rated e) ingredients: rule 63 (live laugh yuri), sexuality crisis, first time summary: The thing is that the second their lips brush, no fireworks go off, but Oscar still panics a little when all her thoughts collapse into one: ohmygodIamkissingagirl. No, it’s actually something like ohmygodIamkissingLando. Or, Oscar Piastri and the very normal, totally okay and not-at-all-confusing feelings she has for her new teammate.

event horizon by @darkisms (7.9k, one-shot, rated e) ingredients: porn w/ feelings, tenderhot, big dick!lando and size queen!osc summary: “Just, got me thinking…” Lando says, voice low, body tilted closer now. “Like. Everything can change, can’t it? Like that.” That charged energy from before is back. Or, the changes at McLaren have Lando and Oscar thinking about the what if’s.

i hope you've enjoyed your meal, and, like a good food critic, do consider leaving a review (a comment on whichever fic you read) 🙂‍↕️

au revoir!

He is "not the world’s greatest sleeper" (Michael once said re: spending time with Daniel that "you don't get a lot of sleep")

He listens to podcasts to go to sleep

He sleeps on his tummy

"Hey babe, 'bout to go to bed" (at 9:28 - not really lore, just something I think about almost daily)

His go-to coffee order is an oat latte

He’s allergic to nuts (but not hazelnuts, he loves Nutella)

Favorite cheat meal is a fried chicken sandwich

According to Natalie he’s a “fussy eater”

He can cook pesto pasta (including making the pesto itself)

He has a sweet tooth and loves ice cream (go-to flavor: vanilla)

Despite his sweet tooth, he's said that he's lucky that he enjoys eating vegetables as much as he does

Entertainment

He loves Jim Carrey movies (especially Dumb and Dumber)

He is a self-proclaimed UFC nerd (he listens to podcasts, watches interviews, tweets about it, etc.)

He loves to ride bikes (both motorized 110 dirt bikes and regular mountain bikes)

He was a cafe waiter at Aroma Cafe

Family

Parents = Joe and Grace

Big sister = Michelle

Nephew = Isaac

Daniel has mentioned that he tries to FaceTime his niece and nephew about every other day, and buys them lots of presents because he feels guilty about being away so much

Bonus = he is godfather to Natalie Pinkham’s son Wilf

Misc.

He is afraid of dogs (and lizards, see 0:56) - but is working on this (note: see this incredible podcast starting at 6:15 for Daniel telling a story about being chased by his friend's dog, and keep in mind that the dog was a pug)

His scent is Le Labo - Baie 19

He journals!

He's been to therapy

He can speak Italian

His famous "ki ki rah" noise actually started as an inside joke with his friends making fun of Panda by Desiigner

He loves a cuddle and is a very affectionate person

On #3: (1) Daniel was a big fan of Dale Earnhardt growing up, (2) his very first karting number was #3, and (3) his house was #3

If you're interested in his tattoos, see my tattoo primer

Notes: please take this primer in the spirit in which it was intended, which is simply a fun little list of bits of daniel lore that I've collected over the years. For all the fic writers, if this primer is at all useful, know that I'm honored, but remember that this primer is not a rulebook, so take or ignore these little tidbits as you see fit! Your fic is your world. Finally, please reblog and add more! I'd love nothing more than to crowdsource more lore!

oscturi but it's artturi watching oscar buy clothes (and fucking in the dressing room)??????

https://x.com/oscmega/status/2055007611645272219?s=20

I think now is a good time to answer this?

Like, Artturi would totally follow every movement with his eyes and everytime Oscar finds something he likes, he lifts it up and just waits for the subtitle shake or nod from Artturi. Because after all this time, they just like this right? One look is enough to know what the other one things. And when Oscar slowly strolls in the direction of the changing rooms Artturi follows him after a while, grabs some skimpy shorts before he joins him in the cabin. The place is already cramped but with two grown man inside even more. Without a word he is pressing the shorts against Oscar’s naked chest and Oscar just gets it, pulls his boxerbriefs down to get into the shorts. A pale lilac, short and tight, so that his ass looks even rounder and at the front? The clear bulge of his semi hard dick. He almost whimpers when Artturi smiles at him, the soft and warm thing only reserved for Oscar. But the gentle version of Art is gone as fast as it appeared, Oscar finds himself pressed against the wall, one big hand pressed over his mouth. Artturi‘s hot breath against his neck while the other hand pulls the shorts down, just enough so he can slip his dick between Oscar‘s cheeks where he is still wet and sticky from their daily morning fuck. Artturi won’t fuck him, not here where he can’t enjoy it, but the friction of Oscar’s fat ass cheeks is almost enough, especially with the way Oscar’s tenses the muscle with each thrust. There is still a hand over his mouth, muffling all the sounds, while the other one cups Oscar’s bulge trough the shorts. Oscar knows Artturi isn’t here to play. Either Oscar comes before him or Artturi leaves him. Just a minute longer, maybe. But then Artturi groans and in the next minute he is gone, leaving Oscar shaking and on the edge of his orgasm. There is a kiss pressed against his shoulder. "Take care of this" and then? Artturi is gone and it almost feels like a fever dream

The notebook isn't quite snatched from Charles' hand, but he certainly didn't hand it. "It's just—it's, hm, sketches. For the—you know. Ha. Sorry." "Studies for the painting, no?" "Yes. Studies." Neither of them is very convinced, and Max is visibly sweating under the harsh lights, the wet trail from his hairline down to his collarbone glistening as he shifts around, restless, and Charles' eyes traitorously catching on it each time. Oh no. No. No, Charles refuses to be attracted to such a—loser. His life is complicated enough as it is. He's not going to fall for the only guy who gives him money to not sleep with him. He's not even sure he likes the guy. Or: Max needs a model, Charles needs money, they strike a deal

written for the @f1blrforaid fest for the lovely @fwoom :^) thank you for being so patient and kind with me!!

so so so so so good

[formulaocean]

hi!! sorry if this is random but i love you talking about sebchal and the way you view their dynamics, you seem such a good person to ask to so i thought i’d shoot my shot.. any chance you’d rec some sebchal fics? :)

Hi I love you- here are some of my favourites at different lengths, hope some are new to you!

Multichaps

Negative Capability by Jean___Ralphio. It’s a spy AND bdsm au which does the mentor protege hero worship, flustering, and mutual obsession so so well.

Sanctuary by pumpkinning. Arguably THE Sebchal fic to me. Look at the tags first as it can get intense but the tenderhorniness as well as the power dynamics are top tier and one of the best Seb characterisations there is, perfect mix of mischiefness and rancidness. Plus an exceptional and original plot and setting! It’s all about hubris and obsession and grief and love!!!

he’s (k)not my problem by redwithlove. Featuring puppy alpha Charles and aging omega Seb and again tenderhorny fondness and guilt this time of the omegaverse variety. An absolutely delicious semi role reversal to the norm.

Pale Fire by dlm. If you’ve seen the sebchal football photos this is for you…grad student seb listless final year student charles on the football team. There’s mind games and rivalry and eco seb and a lovelyyy slow burn.

teacher’s pet by anthonyjanthony and sobraniee. You’ve read it, everyone’s read it…but we all know that Sebchal are designed for professor student au’s so read this perfection again and then read pothos (a nude art modelling also college au by one of the authors)

Long One Shots

Quite literally anything by Anney (still the goat of f1 rpf despite leaving us for hockey) but this one is a special favourite. lonely hearts club- it’s a gorgeous and wistful summer read featuring street musician charles and cafe owner seb but again all of this users sebchal fics are a must not just the soulmate thought reading au which is a staple for a reason too!!

the tools to rebuild by astronomical_light. Seb is a physical therapist, Charles is still a driver, they fall in love in a rehab clinic in Switzerland. It’s an incredibly healing fic done so beautifully- this quote says it all “If I don’t see you again, I hope that you leave in a better place than when you arrived. I hope that all of this has helped, and that you keep working at it, because you deserve every chance that you can create for yourself.” Like!!! That’s them!!! Don’t waste it!!! Be happy and smile!!!

act of god by peppermintstreets. Let the moral ambiguity go BOTH ways. Fan/ lucky charm Charles and sleazy sebastian…delicious and rancid.

Be Snoozing That Lust In The Morning by finalframe and Meova. Sebchal only fans au…or in which f1 bans some sponsors and ferrari asks charles to do only fans to make up the deficit. Seb “selflessly” offers to be the photographer.

Love is stored in the kitchen by Yvxson. Food is a love language and they are in love. “Thinks about how he wouldn’t mind the age difference between the two of them, as long as it would mean that he could see Charles sitting as casually as he is right now in his private kitchen.” Cafe owner seb student charles great support cast.

Everything I do, I’m gonna think of you by misonikomo. The Model AU. Every ship deserves a sulky siren model charles and a hopeless f1 driver. This is Sebchal’s glorious version. ALSO the soulmate au by the same author. Siren squeamish Charles full of grief who tries so hard to lie..and Seb as not nice per se but GOOD. UGH.

made me just for you by minieggs11. READ THE TAGS but if you’re into the rancidness that is generally the necessary background to sebchal this pushes that to the foreground in horrible and delicious ways.

Short(er) One Shots

red, and a little more red by atwater. Haunted house of ferrari my most beloved- featuring odd and possessed Charles and a Seb who may or may not know but just can’t help himself either way.

no stopping it by tetrapod- Sebchal yuri…”Charles had never completely gotten over being the weird, almost star-struck girl in the Ferrari paddock. And Seb had always been Seb.” When Charles is a little odd about the hero worship!! Yes!!

and the devil says by purpleradishsoup. Mob au heed the tags but the dynamic and the narrative weaving in such a short fic…lovely and dubious.

nostalgia for the present by holidayblues. Tennis player sharl, infidelity, age difference…you know the drill. They also have a lot more sebchal fics and I’m loving the f/f wip with Silvia as team principle!!

I Think You Know (What This Is) by Fabby. Praise kink, age gap, dom/sub, it’s all about ferrari…all the ingredients and a writer who cooks so well they could win master chef.

Red Moon by Kaytheologie. What if 2019 Ferrari intra team battle was about ancient biblical sister wives pregnancy. What then.

what winning feels like by saint sainz. There’s a tag called wedding ring play…that says enough. Go there.

in faith by pipwrites- vaguely Odysseus/penelope inspired and so gorgeous. Erotic shaving…sneaky seb and almost religiously devoted charles top tier characterisation . ALSO two steps on the water …last night I dreamt I went to Maranello again…gothic romance/horror for my fellow historical nuts!

A Street Named Vettel as shameless self promotion but give me a 2020 redux and quasi grid girl charles any day.

Threesomes!!

Taking care of Charles Take a chance on me by byronic_mess. The first is omegaverse the other is a soulmate au- Sebchalewis makes SO much sense especially this year!! Also anything by boldlettered

a bad desire by tetrapod and You’re So Golden by yours truly. More people need to get on sebchalmax stat!!! All the usual sebchalness but championships and Seb’s dual ferrari/red bull nature too.

The Show Must Go On by sacharowan. Nico R joins the party…sico and sebchal and Monaco pretty boys yes please.

to the finnish line by floretum. Kimi!! Such a rich dynamic to explore here. Hot and oddly funny.

every time you come you leave me blue by artifice. “It’s not that Mark doesn’t like Charles. Charles is attractive, funny, good in bed, and good for Seb. The last thing gives him hives from time to time.” SO GOOD.

This series that’s Sebchal and Mick but mainly sebchal.

[landonorissian]

We Both Go Down 22k words, rated E, nortrell, role reversal au

In 2015, after Lando crashed and retired from racing, Max took over his team and then his future career. Miraculously, Lando doesn’t hate him for it. Instead they are closer friends than ever, now that they aren’t both distracted by traveling the globe to race. Lando is Max’s best friend, Max's first and only roommate, the co-parent to Max's cat, and he’d be more, too, if Max wasn’t too thick to notice.

one thing about rhyming poetry is sometimes you suddenly understand what's about to happen to the characters before it happens (before you've read the actual line) because you can fill in what the second part of the rhyme might be. so for a just a moment they are fixed into this coming rhyme but it hasn't happened to them yet. a miniature textual doom

[formulaficrecs]

if anyone has recommendations for vaguely historical with mpreg fics i would give you a big fat kiss

Charles doesn’t know how old Max is. Five and twenty, at least. No wonder Lorenzo is fearful. Heat courses shorten and burn out quicker with age. After four years of marriage an omega should’ve long since whelped. It is no surprise then that everyone seems so excited for his marriage and mating. The Lords of Ferrari praying for his happiness, and the whelping of healthy children it should lead to. If only they had found someone prettier. -- Cuckoo's lay their eggs in other bird's nests.
