Reading between the lines (AO3)

Rio Vidal is a tightly wound librarian who teaches Digital Literacy classes at the Westview library every Friday. Agatha is a flirty Etsy witch who decides to kill two birds with one stone: one, use the library computers to run her business-slash-scam, ensuring her IP can't be traced. And two, do everything in her power to get the hot, uptight librarian to unwind a little.

Rio straightened, refusing to get flustered under the woman’s heavy gaze. “I’ve received some complaints about the way you’re using our library computers.” The woman’s mouth curved into a slow grin. “Don’t tell me I’m in trouble, officer. Was I typing too loud?”

The bizarre story of the "priest of Formula 1"

This is mostly a very personal rant about the life of Don Sergio and how he shaped the sport and his city. If you want to read yourself this is the link to the best article I could find, but if you want to hear my side of the story then buckle up.

I grew up near this anonymous gray church and the Maserati factory in Modena. My parents aren't believers but they wanted me to belong somewhere so they baptized me. Don Sergio did it himself. Don't get me wrong, this isn't about religion, I gave that up a long time ago. It's about him.

I learnt only later in life, after his passing, that my grandfather used to fill up the tank of his car, and he sat me down to tell me what I'm telling you now.

That anonymous gray church? Sergio had built it on the ruins of the old church he demolished himself (hence the nickname Don Ruspa, local dialect for "Don Bulldozer") he literally took the matter into his own hands going against the administration's orders. He was suspended and spent 10 months in jail for it, Enzo Ferrari joked with him about it.

But what has all of this to do with Formula 1? He was a fan, like a diehard fan. You should see all the memorabilia he kept safe in the basement of the church, always grinning when some kid asked him about it. And he didn't just attend the races, oh no, he was Monza's official priest, celebrating the mass right before the event to bless the drivers. Protecting them how he could.

That's also how he protected Elio de Angelis' dad, who was kidnapped by bandits in Sicily. Sergio offered himself as a hostage instead of the driver, and ultimately helped with the payment for his liberation (or so I was told). There is now a gym next to the church, dedicated to Elio.

He also knew personally many drivers, but Ferrari's in particular. And Ferrari wanted them all "christian" so those who weren't baptized got baptized by him.

Don Ruspa wasn't just a priest, he cared deeply about the community more than he ever cared about the Bible and the Vatican rules dare I say. He let girls up next to the altar (prohibited at the time), built a nursery and a retirement home, along with a shining new church on top of the old rotting one.

My personal campaign against the Vatican begun after he retired, who knows, I'd be a christian now had he stayed. The priests after him all tried to undo the good that he created regressing backwards, dirtying his name and his home, treating us like they were superior. I eventually grew tired of it, deluded, and after years I left the church for good.

But hey, life is a circle, is it? Couple of months ago my boss came to me ranting about this crazy story he had heard about a priest liking Formula 1. I could only smile.

You Make Loving Fun (AO3)

Drummer Rio Vidal joined the rock band The Coven a few years ago. She's been trying desperately to ignore the simmering tension between her and their lead singer Agatha Harkness. It's all going fine, until she walks in on Agatha getting fucked in their dressing room.

@agathaallalongweek Day Two - Fake Relationship Rating: E Pairing: Agatha Harkness/Rio Vidal Word Count: 7.5k A/N: Fake relationships, rock 'n roll, voyeurism, and more! Featuring Agatha Harkness as a bratty bottom, Rio Vidal as a fed up top, and the rest of the coven as very, very exasperated with their antics.

Preview:

Still, Agatha knew how to bewitch an audience. And Rio would admit that for the first few weeks of playing on a stage together, she definitely felt bewitched. It didn’t take long for their audience to notice, either. While Agatha was taking a different girl home every night after a show, all the tabloids could write about were the charged looks Agatha and Rio shared on stage, or the photographs of them together where they were standing a little too close to just be friendly. Rio hated it. Agatha thought it was the funniest thing in the world.
