Strollonso:
silver platter by atwater | E | 9k
Literally the first fic I've ever read and basically got me into this fandom (and ship). Theyre both so unhinged and amazing it's a very fun read. Probably the best written lance ive every read.
Make Sound by antimonyandthyme | E | 1k
Makes me so fucking insane no notes this is just amazing oh my god
I make two grand an hour by Kaytheologie | E | 3k
Literally so hot and so amazing. lance is so bitchy in this one is great. amazing writing and amazing premise, literally inspired me to sketch out something right after (might finish it at some point)
Sewis:
provenance by ecorone | M | 18K
Literally the fic that introduced and made me fall in love with sewis. it wrecked me like i still havent recovered at all. the writing itself is just, i vibe to it so much
The Numbering at Bethlehem by Kaytheologie | E | 26k
might be one of my favourite fics, ever. what a masterpiece genuinely the environment is just so immersive and lush. ive reread it a dozen time and it never gets old
Brocedes:
you're my purple candy high by nothoughtsjustvibes | M | 5k
baby's first brocedes 🥹 started my love affair with emotional destruction. ruined me when i just first read it and ruined me every time after that. The writing is so profound and laid out their tragedy bare.
the torture of small talk with someone you used to love by finedae | T | 2k
baby's first nico fic!! it also destroyed me!! i think this is the one that made me join f1br bc i was just so obsessed with the writing i needed to know what the author was like lol.

special research vessels by ecorone | M | 15k
listen i thought this ship wouldve been more popular than it is LOL or at least not as hated. regardless, i love this fic so much. I love the environment, I love the dialogue, the characterization, everything. It's just such an amazing reading experience
matchstick people by ecorone | E | 60k
if you havent noticed by now, im obsessed with this author. the prose, the characterizations, how beautifully the magical realism of it all was realized. horror as a genre is so underutilized in fanfics as a whole but when its done, its done amazingly. love love love
Others:
crude generalisations and vulgar simplifications by crescenteluce | E | 14k | Alexander Albon/George Russell
This fic is THE galex fic for me. it so funny and the writing is so witty its just fun to read. love the way the environment is constructed and it everything just feels so real. amazing
it's more than I can bear: this interminable want, turning and turning. by Anonymous | E | 2k | Fernando Alonso/George Russell
The vibes are rancid, the ships are niche, the writing is good. what more do you need? i love reading this and i love thinking about this.
Amen by sirius | M | 9k | Fernando Alonso/Lewis Hamilton
THE ferwis fic is my mind and mad me unreasonably obsessed with this ship. its so well written- like i love the characterization so much it makes me insane.
on golden sands bysionisjaune | T | 6k | Lewis Hamilton/Nico Rosberg/Sebastian Vettel
Listen, this and the ships that go sailing are both just amazingly entertaining fics. its objectively such a good read and i enjoy spending my time reading it. its just so fun!
steal the air out of my lungs (make me feel it) by nahco3 | E | 26K | Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen
My favourite medical au fic!! ever!!! everything is just so well realized and the characterization is just spot on!! love everything about this fic and nothing i say can fully explain how amazing this fic is!!!
Shutter Speed byantimonyandthyme | E | 18k | Sebastian Vettel/Mark Webber
got me into photography lol. made me purchase my first actual camera. dont know what else to say its just that amazing
brocedes timeloop au but its a timeloop of the entirety of the 2016 season where, at first, lewis uses this opportunity to win the 2016 wdc but he ends up looping back again
i completely forgot i wanted to do this lol. An unually high amount of charles fics in this rec list i wonder what thats all about
6 horror related fics for your reading pleasure (in no particular order)
the system only dreams of total darkness by mondaycore | M | 7k | Lewis Hamilton/Nico Rosberg
anything by mondaycore is stunning and utterly enrapturing to read. the details, the tension, just everything about this fic is such a beautifully brutal read. one of the best works ive read recently.
Bonus: tell me what you know about dreams | M | 851 | Charles Leclerc

Denebola by Yvxson | M | 2k | Charles Leclerc/Sebastian Vettel
found this after wanting to read more sebcharl and- utterly poetic and just a lovely, devastating, read. the descriptions are just *mawh* chefs kiss.
-
Trifecta by n_ico_ando | E | 12k | Lewis Hamilton/Sebastian Vettel
not quite entirely "horror", but what a beautiful work of fantasy. the way i get thinking about moving to the east coast of canada just to experience a fraction of the atmosphere described here. amazing read.
-
worthy is the lamb (thank you for the price you paid) by choripan | E | 12k | Charles Leclerc/Carlos Sainz Jr
An utterly captivating piece of writing inspired by an utterly beautiful piece of art! obsessed with just the concept of charles as ferraris beautiful lamb and anyway he can be connected to religious imagery
-
red, and a little more red by atwater | E | 7k | Charles Leclerc/Sebastian Vettel
And last but not least, from one of my very favourite writers. this fic was basically the catapult for me to look into other works that use horror as an element or genre. amazing amazing read, so funny yet so haunting, im addicted.
bonus!
matchstick people by ecorone | E | 60k | Lewis Hamilton/Max Verstappen
ive already rec'd this on my other list but i thought it would be fitting to rec it here as well. everything i said about this author still holds true and still one of my favourite fics ever.
The issue (beauty) of brocedes fics is that its rarely just happy. Like i can never truly get a fluffy fic because its all written retrospectively and no matter how happy it is, its always drenched in a layer of melancholy. Even with the happiest or lightest prompt, i still need to prepare myself to get my heart ripped out and thrown to the ground.
