It happened like this: Lando trips on air, clumsy footing from being too nervous probably, and ends up floating on the ceiling.
Or, Lando gets cursed again (!) except this time, it’s ahead of the Australian Grand Prix. Feels like a sign, and when the universe screams at you, you listen. When the universe sends you a Reddit post, you fucking read it.
returning to my magical realism roots! much love to @utopiastri who is 3/16's biggest fan and who listened to me yap about writing when i should've been writing 😩.

Somewhere between Mr. Piastri and Oscuh, or a name holds meanings and Oscar's name is one of Lando's favorite ways to communicate.

mutual pining, lando crushes hard
Maybe Lando will pull a Carlos in the future, crash into Oscar's new teammate every chance he gets.
Lando has no idea how whipped he is for Oscar. Won't even admit he is whipped.
Bear with him, please.

magical realism
A soul bond is like any other type of magic; you can buy it in a bottle. Or, to be more precise, you can manufacture it.
Oscar and Lando are accused of having an illegal soul bond.

spy au, domestic, unreliable narrator
“I had some compelling evidence and you just laughed in my face.”
“You can't call Seb wearing a turtleneck ‘compelling evidence’, Lando.”
Lando and Oscar's neighbours are international spies, or so Lando tells Oscar. They're just two normal guys, though. Just Lando-and-Oscar.

“Are you sure you're haunted?”
A laugh rings out beside Lando. He didn't hear the joke, but he knows the punchline.
“Yes,” Lando answers.
Or, there's a ghost named Osc that haunts the halls of MTC. Only Lando can see him.

From the outside looking in (which isn't the best perspective to judge from, Max admits), Lando and Oscar communicate exclusively via race data and high-pitched giggles. Oscar has this way of laughing that's funnier than the actual joke. Max would know because, well, because Max used to be the one who cracked the jokes.

jealousy lol
Oscar said something about Arthur, half-asleep. Oscar never said anything about Max. That can't be possible.
Or, jealousy can take many forms. Lando Norris encounters four of them.

magical realism, mild horror, angst with a happy ending
Lando’s not an anomaly. Of this, Oscar is certain.
He’s everywhere– fluorescent green and the number four, those squiggly shapes he introduced this year. Anomalies are the opposite. They crave unoccupied spaces they can take as their own, without any complications, without people noticing them.
How can anyone, anything, not notice Lando Norris?
Or, it’s 2024, and McLaren’s quick. Oscar suffers. Lando holds his hand.

magical realism, mild holiday fic, fluff
“Is it true? That you're a heater?”
Oscar's mind beeps and boops, blanking out. He's been through every version of this conversation, it seems like, since his powers manifested.
But it's Lando asking. His new teammate.
Or, three Decembers in Lando and Oscar's shared history.
🤖 the injury of finally knowing you
Lando/Oscar, T, 5.9k, Pacific Rim AU
The last time Oscar and Lando saw each other, Lando threw a plate at his head and screamed, “Just because you're in my head doesn't mean you know me. You're not my friend, so don't fucking act like it.”
Fair, Oscar thought then. He and Lando aren't friends, but they're co-pilots. That trumps everything else.
“I can't float. When have you ever seen me float?”
“You are right now!”
Lando pinches himself. He's not dreaming. “Very observant today. Try to get me down.”
This isn't the first time Lando found himself up on the ceiling. When he was eight years old, he was convinced he was Spiderman. Oliver found a way to make him “sticky”. He's not entirely unconvinced of it until now; maybe he hasn't yet unlocked his spider-y superpowers.
hey! it's the three-sixteenths sequel 👀
