Usually I dont like to spend time on shorter fics, because they leave me feeling really hollow, and they usually dont tie up loose ends well. This one didnt even reach 1000 words, so I was veeery skeptical, but I feel like I've been struggling to find good Charlos content lately, and I LOVE musician aus, so I haad to give it a peak.
Dedicating your passion to somebody is so intimate, I read this and smiled. Very quick, fulfilling read!! And this is while having like, four lines of dialogue total. AMAZING work, goodness!

Summary
It’s the profound tragedy of Lando’s life, he thinks, to realise he’s in love with his teammate – just as Oscar Piastri makes a habit of standing one step higher on the podium, forcing Lando to crane his neck to look at him.
Oscar hates watching the light fade from Lando’s eyes with every victory he takes from him. He accepted the inconvenient truth long ago: he loves Lando. But he loves winning more.

Similar feelings to the previous bookmark with this one!! i feel VERY strongly about it, but this is also a lot more popular so I have less to say, because I feel like all of the praise I have has been shouted already. But I still totally <3 this!!

Summary
Max Verstappen has been bitter about the hand life dealt him for as long as he can remember. While his cousins grow up in ancestral estates and lavish mansions, he spends his childhood in a dingy motorhome, enduring the wrath of an abusive father.
Cunning, charming, and utterly ruthless, Max claws his way out of that life the only way he knows how – through lies, well-played deception, and perfectly executed cons. With a loyal crew of misfits at his side, he’s built an existence on the edge of society. Yet for Max’s insatiable hunger, this quiet life of petty scams isn’t enough. He’s only ever wanted what he believes should be his.
So he fixes his gaze on his greatest target yet: a heist against his spoiled, undeserving cousins – Lordling Lando Norris and billionaire’s heir Lance Stroll – the perfect marks to finally undo the shitty hand life dealt him.
Standing in his way is Detective Inspector George Russell, lead investigator with Scotland Yard’s Major Investigation Team – a man with a spotless reputation, a razor-sharp mind to match his own, and a personal history with Max that neither of them can escape.

WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK this might be one of my favorite pieces on this website. Genuinely has got me excited about reading again, and obviously I really like reading, but its genuinely something Iook forwards to as it updates with starry eyes.
If you're looking for a story with a functional family dynamic this is ABSOLUTELY NOT THE RIGHT FIC!! But if I know anything about the people on here, and in this fandom, thats probably what you want anyway.ALL of the povs are deranged in their own unique ways, and they all interact so beautifully. I think the best kind of world building is the kind that takes the basic, very normal human world we live in, and then it gets turned into its own little web anyway. And also the psychology is SO ITNERESTING GENUINELY.
Not to mention the frequent calls to literature, which I abso-freaking-lutely ADORE. I love literature, and honestly I haven't had time for it lately. This has completely, unashamedly rekindled my love for it.
And somehow, on top of ALL OF THAT, the chapters update frequently. I think even without that, I'd still froth at the mouth over this. I think I could genuinely have wet dreams over the quality of the writing, its just that good. I cant be normal about it. Its the type of fic that makes you think, and evokes emotion AND ALL OF THOSE GREAT THINGS. Seriously cannot recommend enough, if you don't read it I'd feel like you were missing out. At the time im making this bookmark, there are like ten chapters and I already feel like doing a little happy heel click jump. The glaze wont end, the glaze will NEVER END.
Im so ridiculously enthusiastic about this, and I hope you give it a try and become just as obsessed as I am!
The author is so clearly loving of the fics they make, and happy with the little community they've built (if you could call it that, I would)Im genuinely so super duper inspired, im not sure for what, but I totally am. IF YOU READ THIS, IM GENUINELY BEGGING YOU TO GIVE IT A TRY. THIS IS PERFECT, IT IS EVERYTHING IVE EVER WANTED IN A FIC AND THEN SOME. Have I said that before? Maybe. Do I mean it just as much this time? Hell freaking yea!!
My FAVORITE fics get a little gold star at the end of the bookmark, just so its easier to find them incase anybody cares to look - ⭐

Summary
He should scream.
This would be a good place to start.
Instead, though, he just stands there, feet frozen to the ground. Someone had broken into his flat. Someone had broken into his flat and left a behead-able mannequin on his couch. Maybe this was a warning. Maybe he'd be next for the mannequin treatment.
Then again, they hadn't killed him yet. They could've just shot him.
But they'd waited. That had to count for something, right?
OR: Six magicians, con artists, and hackers. Six horsemen. One grand Robin-Hood style heist to bring them all together.

I will FOREVER glaze this creator!! Their works are honestly so well constructed, and the character/world building is IMMACULATE chefs kiss oh my daaays
I've seen an uptick in demand for more spy/robbery themed fics, especially after the louvre heist, and with Now You See Me becoming popular again, due do the release of the new movie I feel like this is the PERFECT fic!! It's a little slower on the updates, just because the author is dealing with uni, and working on other fics that are more popular than this one, but ts is SO UNDERRATED
bonus points because its all of my favs YET AGAIN!! The set up is so so yum, and I never feel like the words are there just for the sake of filling space, I dont even skim over anything. It's just so captivating?? HOW???BEFOREE reading this, I had never watched now you see me. I have now, and not only did I walk away with a NEW FAVORITE MOVIE, but a new favorite fic as well!! Going back and watching the movie actually made me appreciate this more, because how is something written on ao3 somehow BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL MOVIE ITS BASED ON at setting up the characters, their motivations, and the plot?? like god the imagery in this. WHAT THE HELL ITS SO GOOD.
10/10 would recommend. Even the bromance is well written <3My FAVORITE fics get a little gold star at the end of the bookmark, just so its easier to find them incase anybody cares to look - ⭐

HOLLYY PEAAK??
a college au..where they both...actually have to do college things? am I dreamingI am a SUCKER for a fic where the romance exists besides a for real, well developed plot. THE BEST, EVER! If there is a (well written) story alongside a ship I like I am genuinely loose my shit. this is one of those moments, I AM LOOSING MY SHIT.
I am so endeared to all of the characters, and that can be a bit tricky with RPF because its so much less flexible, so when people can take somebody's personality, and their real life situation and translate that to a work, ESPECIALLY when its outside of their normal setting... oh my god it actually is the best thing ever.
Even everybody on the side feels decently rounded out, and they exist within their own respects. AGAIN in fics, I feel like writers sometimes expect you to already know who somebody is, and you're supposed to form an opinion based off of that. And as cool as that is, it can sometimes lead to certain people just coming off as, for lack of a better way to put, sugar free versions of themselves? This fic does the complete opposite, totally NAILS THE CHARACTER WORK.
UGHGJHTJRK I LOVE IT SO SO SO MUCH. COULD NOT RECCOMEND ENOUGH!! READ THIS!!! READ THIS ITS SO GREAT!!!!
I dont believe in kudos being the best way to express gratitude to a fic, because all of my favorite things about it cant be expressed with a button. I think the author wrote this with a lot of passion, and I felt that as I read it, and I will NOT love this fic a normal amount I REFUSE.My FAVORITE fics get a little gold star at the end of the bookmark, just so its easier to find them incase anybody cares to look - ⭐
