    Summary

    The problem with trying to get over Lando was that he was everywhere, even when he wasn’t around.

    That, he supposed, was the problem with falling in love with your roommate, especially one as close as he and Lando were. They were practically inseparable most days, falling in and out of each other’s orbits with practiced ease. Even when they weren’t together at the flat, their belongings and habits had become so irrevocably entwined that sometimes he forgot what it was like to live without him. It had been that way for years now, and honestly, Oscar didn’t know how to separate the two of them without losing a large part of himself in the process.

    -

    Or, Oscar is nauseatingly in love with his roommate and it's slowly destroying him. Lando, on the other hand, is absolutely oblivious.

    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.

    Summary

    Ten minutes ago meant there was still time. Ten minutes meant he can still get to Max before it was too late.

     

    ---

    Or: Max gets roofied at a club, and recovery is a long, painful road. Even though the trauma he'd been through haunts him, he isn't alone. Not by a long shot.

    Summary

    “You want me to come with you on the holiday that you specifically booked for you and your girlfriend?”

    “Ex-girlfriend,” Sirius corrects.

    Remus looks at Sirius searchingly, and once again, several emotions flicker across his face; only this time, his expression lands on something like hope.

    “Yeah. Okay.”

    or,

    Sirius is dumped by his girlfriend and drags his best friend on a holiday across Europe. And somewhere between Berlin clubs, Parisian boulevards, and Transylvanian villages, they fall into each other.

    Summary

    “He’s coming home, James. What the hell am I meant to do with that? It’s been eight fucking years and we’re meant to... what? Just meet him at the pub? Buy him a drink like-” He shakes his head. “What will I do with my face?”

    James takes a sip of lemonade, taking his role as designated driver very seriously as always. He has a smudge of dirt on his nose from ‘wrestling a conifer the size of a bear’, but Sirius doesn’t think to mention it because he’s somewhat preoccupied with his own problems, which, for the avoidance of doubt, are many and insurmountable.

    “Your face?”

    “Yes, exactly! It’ll give me away the second he sees me. He’ll know right away that eight bloody years has done nothing at all to dampen it down. Dripping with hurt. As if I don’t still feel-”
