Favecedes-inspired fic rec!!!

Anyone who has enjoyed my Favecedes series should absolutely RUN, not walk, to read Crystalised by Ferrera!! An absolutely delicious Kimi/George alternate follow-up to Daddy’s Favorite, with wonderfully done George POV and some positively searing smut. 👀

A teaser:

“Toto likes pretty boys,” Kimi says bluntly, then ducks his head a little and looks at you from under his lashes, a little shy but sure, too.

“I suppose he does.” You’ve thought about that a lot over the years, about the situation you’ve gotten yourself into, about Nico before you, and who knows what else went on before your time, with drivers who maybe didn’t even make it, in the end, and still you’ve never admitted that to yourself as plainly as Kimi just put it.

Chapter 5: Nico is live!

Chapter Word Count: ~1300

Chapter Summary:

“I know how it feels.” God, but who else would it be? Nico Rosberg’s voice is borderline gleeful as he stops shoulder-to-shoulder with George, the two of them watching together as Kimi settles onto the top step, holding his arms up in a victorious pose. “I’m sure you do,” George responds dryly, keeping his eyes on the screen.

the great thing about nico rosberg is that he’s had more therapy than anyone in the world but also he’s never gotten over a single thing in his life

oscarmark is actually too powerful it has the potential energy of nuclear fuel that's why not very much of it exists because our human minds can barely contain its reality

Chapter 2: Bono is live!

Chapter Word Count: ~1400

Chapter Summary:

“Things with the two of you seem to be going well, yeah?” George asks, testing the waters. “I know it’s probably a bit different after being with Lewis for so long.” “He’s a good kid.” Bono emphasizes the word kid in a way that sends a flash of anxious guilt down George’s spine.

can't believe it's only round five and i'm already making a discourse post, but for everyone that's talking about george's "the gods don't want me to fight for this championship" quote, which he repeated to several outlets in montreal, i just wanted to point out that it's almost exactly what he said to toto after japan as well ie "somebody from above was not going to let us [win]" and imo in the context of the full quote, it's very clearly him rationalising the fact that he can perform at his best and still not get the result (something a lot of athletes talk about in general btw, the fact that they can only control the process, not the outcome). it's obviously not him rolling over before the season has even started. like come on
