The Spaces Left Behind

landoscar / 1 of 25 chapters published / AO3

Norris and Ricciardo were potentially the best pairing to ever pilot Sunrise Medusa. In a year and half they singlehanded dealt with 15 VAST emergences. It was practically unheard of.. and it made them very, very famous. They lived the kind of life they used to only dream of, piloting a huge, beautiful, terrifying war machine against unknowable cosmic horrors.

But that was three years ago. And now Danny is dead. The VAST are evolving more and more with every passing month, and there’s barely enough Marionnettes left to keep up. So Lando has a choice. Hang up his suit, retire early, and shoulder the shame of giving up voluntarily when there’s so few people who can do what he does, so few people protecting the whole planet. Or, he can interlace with a new pilot, become half of a new pair, and be forced to know the inside of someone new’s mind so well that his mind and their mind becomes one and the same. And now that he knows his prospective new copilot is Oscar Piastri, he’s honestly not sure which option is worse.

OR

Lando and Oscar are begrudgingly forced to pilot a mech together whilst their worlds fall apart around them and their minds fall apart within them.

f1 twitter is a very scary place cause why does it descend into infighting the SECOND the podium finishes. why is everyone operating on maximum aggression all the time what is going on. what are they feeding you.

Both Sides Of The Coin

landoscar / 13.6k words / still in progress

“does this feel as crazy to you as it does to me?” lando asked, pacing back and forth in his hotel room with such anxious fervour he thought he might wear a hole through the carpet. he shook his head slightly. “who am i kidding, of course it does.” there was no response, obviously, as lando was talking to thin air.

Or:

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are both F1 drivers for Mclaren. Their teammates are both Pato O’Ward. They race on the same tracks, on the same days, year in-year out. They’ve never met, though, because they exist in two separate versions of reality. But Lando’s life is getting seriously weird… like maybe the veil between the two of them is beginning to fray.

charles leclerc actually has the patience of a saint the way he deals with a entire career’s worth of bizarre technical and physical issues EVERY SINGLE RACE 😭

probably my favourite part of the f1 weekend is when everyone starts doing pseudoscientific champagne spray psychoanalysis

I truly mean this in the most affectionate way but I feel like lando near exclusively listens to phonk and tiktok edit audios. like pre race he's sat, airpods in listening to that audio that's like "I Can't Stop Winning! I Can't Stop Winning! I Can't Stop Winning!" and honestly.. good 4 him.
