Summary
Oscar Piastri is a dutiful engineering student set for his career in the world of motorsport, as he enters his last year of university. When the company he works at announces a competition for an internship opportunity at the McLaren Formula One Team, he applies without much thought. He never anticipated he would actually get in and he had accepted he would probably never land a job in the pinnacle of motorsport. He does not even want it. Or so he thinks. He gets thrown into the chaos of the McLaren team at the worst possible time, as they deal with the aftermath of Brazil. And there is Lando. Lando who Oscar had deemed to be an asshole before ever having met him. Lando who makes mistakes, who feels broken. Lando who absolutely should not be Oscar's to put back together. Yet a series of events makes Oscar look at him differently. But will he stand to face the difficult reality of his own feelings?

Summary
“Okay. I know we got off to a rough start with McLaren trying to force us to be buddy buddy but that’s obviously not gonna happen. You’ve got a pole so far up your ass not even I, Lando Norris, am gonna be able to remove it. And I can’t take anything serious that you, Oscar Piastri, do. So,” Lando inhaled. “This is what I say we’re gonna do. I’ve been thinking, when the camera is on us, we’re gonna smile. I’m gonna make jokes. You’re gonna laugh at them in your own stiff way. Then I’m gonna smile at you with my charming smile and you’re gonna blush. When I do something stupid, you’re gonna make fun of me for it with your dry sense of humor that I don’t seem to understand and I’m gonna counter it with a quick jab. But remember- we gotta smile. If we can’t like each other, we’re gonna convince the press we’re practically in love.”
“Are we gonna hold hands and kiss in the moonlight too?”
“Not if the fucking cameras aren’t glued to our faces, Oscar dear.”

Summary
Lando Norris, internationally famous rockstar, has three main priorities: drugs, avoiding eye contact, and pretending emotions don't exist.
To most, he's just flippant; a hot, young thing with messy habits. So what if he washes down breakfast with a shot of vodka? He's a rockstar, it practically comes with the territory of being too young and too famous.
But the reality of it is a lot more destructive.
Enter Oscar Piastri. Engineering student. Polite and boring to a fault. Really, he's nothing interesting.
Except, after one too many nights taken too far, Lando's manager hires Oscar as his chaperone.
Lando hates him immediately.
As the band's tour drags on, as the looming threat of FIA's album deadline becomes ever the more pressing, as Oscar gets dragged deeper into a strange world of glitz and grime, Lando begins to think that things might finally turn out fine.
Except things are never, ever fine with him.
