Mortal men | 1.9k | polmarc

Work summary:

Pol watches Marc crash in Le Mans. He watches it happen, and he decides he's not going to make the same mistake twice.

A little polmarc treat for last weekend! Sorry if there's mistakes btw, vacation is killing my grammar sksksk

The Cycle

Pairings: Pol Espargaro/ Marc Marquez, mentioned Dani Holgado/David Alonso

Summary: Pol can’t help but think about his own past situationship as he watches Dani sneak around with David.

(A/N: Polmarc has me in a chokehold so enjoy this Drabble)

—

There is nothing more amusing to Pol than his protégé trying to hide his situationship from him.

It’s almost like the Moto2 rider thought he was blind.

Dani, while he was incredibly talented on track, was much less successful at trying to keep his personal life a secret.

Pol had honestly lost track of how many times he had seen Dani awkwardly adjust his collar, trying to hide the hickeys lining his throat.

Or how many times he had hurriedly hidden his phone when Pol walked in.

Or how many times he had seen Dani slipping into a motorhome that wasn’t his own.

It was always the same motorhome too. The one only a few feet away from Dani’s.

David Alonso’s motorhome.

Another rising star, cherry picked by MotoGP legends to be a future MotoGP star. His future was set in stone, with both Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez’s eyes on him and the latter’s guidance helping to shape his career.

Everyone knew it was only a matter of time before he got the call up.

Meanwhile, Dani, despite his talent, was fighting for the same recognition. It was part of what had drawn Pol to the younger rider in the first place, as he had seen too much of himself within him.

Though as 2026 dawned, Dani was finally getting the attention he deserved.

Whether or not said attention came too late remained to be seen.

And yet despite that, the two Moto2 riders were oddly connected.

Pol figured that the relationship wasn’t all smooth sailing though. Pol knew how much David drove Dani wild.

After all, his protégé was not shy about complaining about the Aspar driver.

“It’s like he has everything handed to him because of his connections! He has the talent yes, but so do I!”

And yet, apparently, those complaints weren’t enough to stop the little rendezvouses between the new teammates.

The irony of the situation was not lost on Pol.

After all, this little relationship reminded him of his own days in Moto2.

Pol remembers how he himself used to storm into a certain someone’s motorhome, his blood boiling after yet another battle on the track.

And his rival would look up, a faux look of innocence on his face.

“Is something the matter Pol? You look upset.”

Pol hated him back then.

Hated that smug little grin he would send him, while he asked what could possibly be wrong with him.

Hated Marc’s talent and the giant ego that accompanied it.

Hated how he had so many people wrapped around his finger at the age of only 19.

Hated how he himself was one of the ones who had unwillingly fallen into Marc’s trap.

Because back then, no one could resist Marc Marquez. In 2012, Marc wasn’t the villain of the paddock, whose thirst for victory outweighed everything to him.

No, Marc Marquez was still Spain’s darling then. Their rising star, with the talent to rival so many others. The one who immediately got the call up to Honda without a Moto2 title to his name yet.

Though he later rectified that bit by the end of 2012.

Meanwhile Pol scrambled to find a team to take him, even with his older brother being a MotoGP rider at the time.

And yet, even as his annoyance and jealousy towards Marc Marquez coursed through his veins, Pol still sought out his company.

Marc was his addiction, a drug he couldn’t quite get rid of.

Even years later, Pol could remember those nights in Marc’s motorhome.

His back would sting the next morning with fresh scratches. And his neck would be covered in hickeys that Pol quickly learned to hide, before his older brother saw and teased him about sneaking out with a fling.

If he complained to Marc, the prick would only laugh in reply and “promise” to not do it again.

They both knew he was lying.

Surprisingly though, they managed to keep their little secret from the paddock.

In the public’s eye, they were just rivals, fighting each other tooth and nail for the Moto2 championship.

No one knew the truth. Even now.

Still, there was something nostalgic about watching Dani and David run around like no one was watching.

Pol wonders if he was the same all those years ago.

Was there someone watching him and Marc all those years ago? Did they shake their head too, thinking of their own rivals?

Pol asks Marc one day if he knew about their respective protégés’ interactions.

Marc only laughs in reply. His eyes are filled with that familiar look of mischief as he playfully jokes that, “What do you mean Pol? I don’t know what David does in his free time!”

But, the door to Marc’s motorhome is open that night.

Pol locks it behind him.

Sliding in with Polmarc because you gave me permission -

So I don’t know if you remember this concept but-

Moto2!Pol (2012) meeting 2025 Marc through time travel chaos.

I just love the idea of Pol finding out his annoying as fuck childhood rival turns out to be this super hot champion. And Marc looking at his now much younger boyfriend and thinking back to how fun their rivalry years were.

Or the alternative where Reporter Pol has to deal with Moto2 Marc demanding either answers about his future or a date lmao.

You have no idea how much i love this ask mate ogohohohodhehehrhhrhfhf POLMARC MY BELOVEDS :DDDD

I've tried to do this justice, hope you'll like it >:))

You can read on ao3!

[requinmarin073]

pol who doesn't know what to say when marc gets hurt but tries to be there for him now because he saw how much it hurt marc when he wasn't :(

Hi anon!! Sksksk i just realized i kinda wrote this, so here if you're interested<3

But yeah...pol thinks about all of the times he fucked up and decides he has to fix it now. There's a sense of urgency, because the more the days pass, the more Marc slips from his fingers. He can't stomach causing the man more pain....

Something about tragic polmarc just seems to hit right, doesn't it 😌

They obviously care about eo so damn much...

I need to write more about them they deserve it oughhh

[requinmarin073]

For the wip game, can you tell us more about polmarc? 😋 They're so interesting

I am so glad you asked anon!!! Polmarc is such a national treasure ❤️‍🩹 we definitely need more of it around, I keep reading the same fics over and over again sksksksk :3

This one polmarc wip is a media/texting AU! It's a bit of a longer one shot going through how close they used to be as children, to how their rivalry developed, to finally a bunch of misunderstandings which lead to them barely speaking. But then Marc gets a text from an unknown number and he answers out of curiosity. He wonders who this virtual stranger is...

And the rest is to be continued :)

Polmarc + 2, 4, 5, 6, 10, 20, 22

I'm making you do a thesis >:)

THANKS SORO. (Dw I got my revenge on you for it ❤️)

2. Favorite thing about this ship?

The fact that they’re childhood friends/rivals from Moto2/3. I’ve always been a sucker for the childhood friends to lovers trope so that initially drew me in. But I love the fact that they’ve been in each others orbits for so long.

4. How do you see this ship? Examples: "totally married", "besties who date sometimes for fun", "toxic exes that definitely shouldn't be 10 feet near each other".

Childhood friends to rivals to lovers

5. If this ship didn't meet in canon, how do you imagine they would have met?

If we are talking completely AU, no MotoGP/racing involved, I think they would meet at a motorcycle shop honestly? Marc would own a motorcycle shop with Alex and Pol likes bringing his and Aleix’s bikes over to them whenever they need repairs done. (Huh maybe I should write that-)

6. A song you think of for this ship?

Okay hear me out but Mary’s Song (Oh my my my) by Taylor Swift has always been my go to for them.

10. They're getting married. Who proposed? Where was that proposal? What season is the wedding taking place?

I can see them seriously discussing marriage for a while, with Marc being the holdout. I hc he takes marriage pretty seriously and would want to have everything in order/planned out before saying he was ready for marriage.

Hilariously, when it came to the proposal, both of them end proposing to each other at the same time lmao.

The proposal was definitely done at the racing track they grew up racing at.

The wedding season depends on whether or not Marc is still racing. If he is, it is held during the winter so Marc can maximize his practice time during the season. If Marc has retired, then it’s held in the summer.

20. Who likes public displays of affection more?

I’m going to say it depends! I think Marc is very affectionate during his victory rounds/when he’s high on adrenaline. In normal day to day, I think it’s Pol who’s the more PDA heavy one.

22. A headcanon you have for this ship?

They had a rival with benefits relationship in Moto2.
