In november I read, loved and bookmarked a few carlando fics that seem to have disappeared from ao3.
Can someone pls help me find them, or the author, or just tell me that they weren't a fever dream, and i'm not imagining reading them?
All of them were sorta longer, multi-chapter fics.
I'm gonna highlight 2.
starts out when carlos moves from mclaren to ferrari
carlos has been in love with lando for a long time
most of the fic is lando realizing he is queer and also in love with carlos
carlos doesn't think lando could be in love with him
there's a maxiel subplot,
charles is also there as chaotic bitchy problem solver friend
carlos's woking apartement plays a big role in that he still has it after moving, because he doesn't want to let got the memories with lando together
there's some delicious angst
wonderfully climactic chapters when lando tries to get it on with carlos, carlos shoots him down, lando thinks he will get rejected, goes back to woking, into carlos's apartement, realizes carlos does love him (after a great phone call scene with dan/max/charles) flies back the same night to carlos in spain, and bam big confession
carlos needs and at the very and gets therapy
carlos is a driver at mclaren
lando is part of the royal family
takes place over a long time
lando has trouble with his family
george is lando's best friend, ex, security guard all in one.
there is angst in this one as well
lando does leave the family behind
maxiel subplot in this as well, but especially queer danny subplot
they first just hook up, but then start a relationship
they need to keep it a secret.
kimi raikönnen shows up after george is fired and become's lando's new security. he is a wonderfully funny character addition
this one ends in carlos leaving mclaren for ferrari, and moving to italy with lando
