    Summary

    Marc sees no danger in occasionally texting his former-idol-now-arch-enemy, since he knows he's been blacklisted on Valentino's phone for a long time. He amuses himself with random one-sided conversations, and tries to pretend it doesn't hurt that every message goes unanswered.

    Until one lazy Sunday morning, Valentino actually answers.

    14 hours later, Marc's in Tavullia on the back of a promise and a lifetime of want. As long as they don't talk, everything will be fine.
    Only, Valentino really seems to want to talk.

    Two things are for sure: the Academy boys are likely scarred for life, and if Alex Marquez could roll his eyes any harder, we all know he would.

    Cute. Hot. Angsty. Could a girl ask for more?

    Summary

    He hadn't expected Nico to be there.
    Nico to whom Lewis hasn't spoken in months. Who, for all his talk in the media, has been using the stairs in their apartment complex to avoid bumping into Lewis in the elevator.
    Now Nico is here, pretty face and battle smile on, saying ‘our scene’ like there is some world in which him and Lewis still belong together.
    There isn't - Lewis muses painfully - and it has nothing to do with the colour of their skin.

    Summary

    It is stupid of Nico to even give Lewis the chance to notice.
    The hot water kettle is just a bit too heavy at breakfast one morning and Nico loses his grip. Lewis is next to him at the buffet table of the hotel and catches it out of reflex; Nico knows better than to think it’s kindness. He stares at where Nico’s fingers are still refusing to cooperate.
    "What happened to your hand?"
    "Nerves" - Nico answers with a shrug, glad for the double meaning in the English phrasing.
    It's up to Lewis how he wants to interpret it; Nico didn't lie.

    Summary

    So, the Monaco Grand Prix kind of sucked. No overtaking, slow laps, longest race on the calendar—not really enjoyable to watch. SkySports wanted to make it a little more interesting for viewers, and how better to do that than bringing in some former drivers? Have them commentate, maybe reminisce about the good old days—nothing could go wrong, right?

    ~

    Kevin hummed thoughtfully. “Marry Lewis, of course.”

    “Of course,” Jenson said, Kimi nodding in agreement.

    “Still kill Nico.”

    Kimi nodded again, but Jenson shook his head. “No, I’m killing Sebastian.”

    Kevin made a disgusted face. “You’re fucking Britney? Really?”

    “Not at the moment, no."

    Summary

    “Am I a bad friend?”

    Hayden has always been the guy Shane joked with, the guy he trusted to feed him without mocking him, the guy he roomed with on the road, and Shane is the only man who has ever seen Hayden cry, and Hayden loves Shane. He fucking loves him. They are like brothers, and they have been for almost ten fucking years. He’s always been Shane’s guy, Shane’s best friend.

    Except all along, maybe that wasn’t true. Ilya Rozanov, apparently, had been the guy. Before Hayden had ever met Shane, Ilya Rozanov had been there. And Hayden had never even noticed.

    Shane is all over every inch of Hayden’s life. Hayden thought that was reciprocal.

    “You know I think about you all the time,
    And my deep misunderstanding of your life,
    And how bad it must have been for you back then,
    And how hard it was to keep it all inside.”
