    Summary

    Lando can’t help but feel suspicious when he sees that both Max and Charles are hanging out and sick at the exact same time, especially during the summer break when they’re supposed to be on separate holidays.

    It’s odd because, as far as he knows, Max and Charles don’t usually spend time together outside of the paddock—they aren’t even particularly close. What’s even stranger is that this isn’t the first time it’s happened. Or the second.

    One instance could be a fluke, two might just be a strange coincidence, and three times is enough to make him raise an eyebrow. But four? That’s enough to set off alarm bells.

    He begins to wonder if Max and Charles are far closer nowadays than anyone realizes. Is he being paranoid, or there’s a chance he’s losing his place as Max’s best friend?

    Or: Lando + the drivers try to find out why Max and Charles keep getting sick at the same time, and he’s going to be a detective about it.
    (at its core this is still a lestappen fic; the last 2 chapters are in max’s and charles’ pov which is most of the fic anyway)

    Summary

    Lando lets out a deep sigh. "Look, we are going to have to work together for a while. It's best if we get along, okay?"
    "Okay," he agrees, because it's the mature thing to do.
    Lando smiles, the corner of his mouth twisting, and Oscar has the sudden clear notion that he's about to say something annoying—
    "And maybe you should stop checking me out and focus on our intended target instead."
    Oscar chokes on his own saliva. "What? I'm not—Uh…I was not…"
    "Sure you weren't."

    Or where Oscar is a retired hacker until George comes with a proposition: robbing Lawrence Stoll.
    It might be the only way to keep his business afloat, but it means allowing everything he left behind back into his life.
    It also involves working with Lando, another hacker, who makes Oscar realize perhaps all of the things he has been running hard from are not things he can escape—nor wants to.

    Summary

    He had been in fact wondering when someone would move in, curious to see with who he would share a wall now.
    The door gets open and Oscar is pretty sure his heart actually stops beating for a second when he sees the boy standing there.
    “Can I help you, mate?”
    Blinking to regain focus Oscar tries to remember why he came here. “Um… I’m Oscar”

    Summary

    “There’s more to driving than just keeping the car on track,” Lando says. “Sometimes we know things you don't.”

    “Like what?” Oscar asks, as if he can’t actually believe there might be something Lando knows that he doesn’t

    “Like how the track feels or the tyres or if the suspension starts to feel off?” Lando lists off. “Or we can see what some of the other cars are doing that the cameras don’t pick up. We can help make decisions that you can’t see. Because we feel them. Before your little computer does.”

    “If that’s true,” Oscar starts, drawing out the words in that stupid Australian accent of his. “Then why are you always asking Will for help on the radio?”

    Lando’s actually speechless for a moment.

    Fuck this guy, Lando thinks, glaring at Oscar.

    ----

    Lando's the reigning world champion. Oscar's his new race engineer. They do not work together well. But they have one goal. Make Lando a back-to-back World Champion.

    Cue teambuilding, radio fights, Lando and Daniel fighting for the title and Oscar and Lando learning to be a team.

    Summary

    Lando decides to spend his summer volunteering at a sea turtle conservation project, hoping for a quiet break from his usual life.

    He definitely doesn’t expect to meet Oscar, a marine biologist who spends his days rescuing turtles, collecting data, and complaining about volunteers who get in the way.

    Lando is hopelessly curious. Oscar is painfully patient.

    Between early morning beach patrols, releasing baby turtles into the ocean, late-night conversations under the stars, and far too many shared cups of coffee, Lando slowly realizes that maybe the best thing he found this summer wasn’t a reason to love the ocean.

    It was Oscar.
