Alright kids, listen up because @staff have pulled off a corker of a hot mess and have decided to add "Community Labels". I guess they've decided we can't be trusted to add our own warnings and people can't make sensible choices with what they engage with.
But why does it matter to me?
Tumblr have made labels AN OPT IN SITUATION which means every single blog here is automatically set to hide any triggering content
If you want to continue to be able to access and read fanfiction PLEASE go into your settings and click "show" on at least the "Mature" and "Sexual Themes" labels!!
ALSO IOS USERS: there's an extra fun "Hide additional content" bit just to really try and block us from any hopes of success. Make sure you opt out of that too otherwise I think content will be blocked on the mobile app!
Attached to this post are screenshots from my settings so you guys know what to look for. I could only find it on my desktop settings and not on the mobile app (for now at least)
[I feel like I should add I don't want to sound like I'm pressuring anyone... if you don't want to see certain content obviously keep it hidden and protect yourselves BUT this post is mainly targeted at the horny little gremlins I write for who will be suddenly deeply confused when their smut supply is cut off]
After that devastating race we all need a consolidation. *me begging for a new chapter or a oneshot without trying to be a bitch*
Like for real seeing the flames behind him was shocking, and ferrari literally ruining the season of its drivers with all those dnf... unbearable
oh my god don't i actually thought i was going to be sick when it started to roll back and he couldn't get out
working on something to put out tonight but I'm not sure what it'll be yet
in the meantime made a moodboard for flat spin & am working on a playlist (quality is a bit meh bc i had to screenshot it off the design website, also pls be nice i am NOT an artist or a designer)
I've noticed that the wyrm boi, at least the way we're all drawing him, loosely resembles a tarasque from french folklore. It was a six-legged chimeric-dragon thing with spikes on its back.
I just think that's neat because the tale, the tarasque was tamed by a woman, Saint Martha. Which parallels nicely with the depictions of Connie being the one who calms corrupted!Steven.
I see you’re doing some recommendations 👀👀 what about for Seb and Danny ric??
Okay before we get into this one: I actually don't read many fics for the other drivers (aka those who are not Carlos Sainz) and because I read Maxiel on AO3 I've barely read ANY Daniel x Reader/OC works so this list is BY NO MEANS exhaustive and I would recommend checking out @sgkophie who has just done a bunch of excellent recommendations for more detail
Anyway
SEB:
005 by @daniel-ricciardhoe OH. MY. GOD. This is hands down the BEST smutty one-shot I've ever read. It has everything including Seb and a James Bond party. It's fun and sexy and perfectly in character
Paddle to the Metal by @daniel-ricciardhoe this one is... HOT. A little bit different and featuring our favourite flirty, competitive Seb and a game of table tennis
Not a single fic rec because there are far too many to choose from but if you like Seb just do yourself a favour and follow @kates-dirty-sister for the absolute motherload of fantastically written Seb fics
Rekindle by @enchantestuff another smutty one... this time featuring Nightclub!Seb and when I say I was sweating at the end of it hhooo BOY
DANNY RIC
I've said it before but Champagne Problems by @tiredbuthappy is a must. I will admit I read it because of Carlos and not Danny, but this was THE fic that made me go "Oh wait I love Daniel too"
Swimming Lessons (but also literally everything by @harley-sunday) is so fun and lighthearted and the flirting in it is top tier
Bucking Bronko by @daniel-ricciardhoe (im such a fangirl for you haha) an astounding smut set during an Austin race weekend
Mile High by @enchantestuff is also a chef's kiss horny masterpiece which I never knew I needed
InternetGremlin-Writes Christmas Special: The Twelve Drivers of Christmas
And here we are, I've been cooking up this for a while, and I hope you guys are as excited as I am about it! I'm announcing this today to give everyone something to look forward to now we are officially in the F1 winter break
So, the basic premise: over the course of December I'm going to be releasing twelve one-shots, each centring around a different driver and each with a Christmas scenario worthy of a 90-minute Hallmark movie which have been lovingly devised by myself and @loverboysainz-interacts
Couple of things to note before you get to see the fun bit:
This will take up quite a bit of time so my current ongoing fics (see Flat Spin and Obvious) will be put on hold until January
If you don't see your fave on the initial 12 don't panic! Once all these fics are out my ask box will be opening for the remainder of the month to take on holiday requests from you guys (and I might also do a few AUs)
Each of these fics will be one part and comply with the "Everyone" Community Label. Where it works and makes sense I'll be adding part twos for holiday smut which will have a "Mature" Community Label. Something for everyone!
So, without further ado, the 12 drivers, their fic publishing date and scenarios can be found below the cut, happy reading!
02/12 LANCE STROLL: You hate your family, your home town and Christmas. A fresh start in a new city felt like the perfect idea until you find yourself lost in a snowstorm
06/12 PIERRE GASLY: A new charity initiative sees you, a pop star, coaching the grid in recording a Christmas single
04/12 GEORGE RUSSEL: Being single at Christmas sucks, so George has a plan to keep both your families happy over the visiting season
08/12 ESTEBAN OCON: You're in charge of filming the 2022 season Secret Santa video. You have a crush on Esteban. Esteban has a crush on you. Everyone knows, including his Secret Santa who might just be the push you both needed to do something about it
10/12 CHARLES LECLERC: Being dragged on a skiing holiday to forget your break-up maybe wasn't your friends' greatest idea, but an equally horrible skier offering to teach you French might make the experience a little more bearable
12/12 SIR LEWIS HAMILTON: Christmas shopping is one of your favourite holiday activities, even with a seven-year-old on a mission to make a Christmas miracle
14/12 SEBASTIAN VETTEL: Organic Christmas trees are hard to come by, and finding the perfect one is even more difficult. You still didn't expect to be squabbling with a fully grown man over the one you'd spent hours painstakingly choosing
16/12 LANDO NORRIS: How often do you get a snow day in Surrey? Often enough that every adult in the building turns into an over-excited child
18/12 MICK SCHUMACHER: The Christmas party was not the place you'd expect to run into the village's child prodigy and your one that got away
20/12 DANIEL RICCIARDO: You're a baker hired for the McLaren Christmas challenge video to oversee decorating gingerbread houses and cookies, what could go wrong?
22/12 MAX VERSTAPPEN: It would be typical that your first year invited to the FIA's Christmas Gala and you end up with your ex-boyfriend on your table
24/12 CARLOS SAINZ JR: You're organising the team's end-of-season-slash-Christmas party and Carlos is only too keen to help you set up
