    Summary

    Stupid fucking idea, he thought.

    What a stupid fucking thing to do.

    He won't even get to see their faces.

    Although maybe that'll be for the better. His mum would cry. His dad would be disappointed - he'd think he was a coward, even if he didn't say it. Maybe he would say it, it's not like he'd have to spare Daniel's feelings anymore.
    Isaac and Isa wouldn't really understand, it'd be easier on them. They'd forget, eventually. Daniel barely remembered his nonna, and he'd spent every childhood summer over at her house watching cartoons and excitedly telling her about karting whilst she cooked and nodded patiently, up until the scorching July she'd died of a heart attack.

    Max would be livid enough to walk all the way to Hell and get him back himself, probably. Drag him screaming and kicking all the way back to the surface.

    The thought made Daniel chuckle. Sort of. Almost.

    It was hard to chuckle with the coolness of the metal barrel shoved as deep into his mouth as it'd go.

    He just hopes they can forgive him, hopefully.

    Thankfully, he wouldn't be around to check.

    Summary

    Max Verstappen presents as an alpha two weeks before the season opener, and suddenly the easy comfort Daniel once had with him vanishes—replaced by something sharper, hungrier. Max is no longer a pup fresh to Formula 1. He’s a newly presented alpha, all instincts and heat and eyes that track Daniel like he’s already his.But Daniel is older, and Max is nineteen, and when Max imprints—on him—Daniel does the one thing he knows he shouldn't:
    He lets him in.

    Now the bond is sealed, the nest is still warm, and Daniel can't stop thinking of all the reasons it was a mistake.

    Summary

    “You’d like him, you know,” Thomas said.

    “I do like him,” Aldo said automatically, twirling the stem of his wine glass, looking into its deep red like it was a scrying mirror.

    “I mean as a friend. If you spent more time with him. You have a lot in common.”

    “Do we use the same shampoo?” asked Aldo, raising an eyebrow. Thomas gave him a warning look but his mouth was tugging up.

    “You’re both stubborn,” he said bluntly.

    Cardinals like Thomas Lawrence and Aldo Bellini know all too well how slowly things move within the walls of the Vatican. But with Vincent Benítez's election cracking their world open, and the new Pope cutting away the old branches to make room for the new, both find that change is flooding in everywhere, mostly within themselves.

    Summary

    The girl turns to Oscar and gives him a hug. All the while Logan is left to stand there, arm extended to return the phone with sweaty palms, praying for the interaction to end. A twing in his heart echos in the emptiness of it.

    [...]

    And then Oscar wins his first ever Formula 1 Grand Prix, leaving Logan behind in the dusts of P19.

    He finds himself mourning as he stands with shaking legs and looks over at his best friend hugging his team.

    [...]

     

    pause, then Alex talks again:
    "I think I'll need to show you some of those Lance-Fernando edits"


    Logan can't help but compare himself to Oscar, over and over again. He struggles with doubts about belonging, self-worth and trusting Alex in the truth; that it'll all be fine eventually.

     

    or
    4x Logan feels like the most hated driver,
    4x Logan feels welcomed,
    1x someone else is the most hated
