Summary
Oscar has two major skills: advanced magic theory and catastrophic life choices. Maybe a minor in anxiety-fuelled internal dialogue. To keep his family afloat, and finally use his magic degree for *something*, he signs up with El Plaan: an adventurer's guild in a neighbouring city.
He’s picturing low-risk jobs, maybe the occasional polite fireball. Instead, the guild teams him up Max: lethal, terrifyingly competent, weaponised broodiness, and inexplicably invested in keeping one frazzled mage alive.
or: the one where Oscar thought he was just doing jobs for the money but ends up finding something more instead. Oh and tries not to die in the process.

Summary
“I…it's just that there’s a race tonight, Osc.”
Something sinister snapped in his mind. Oscar’s fingers dug into the hard plastic of the phone, almost painful with the force of the grip. “Are you serious? You can’t–it’s one race, Lando.”
“Every race counts, baby,” Lando argued, though there was no real heat behind the words. They were almost pleading, begging him to understand.
But Oscar was tired of understanding.
He’d done nothing but understand their entire relationship, and look where it had gotten him.
*
Lando Norris. Two time Formula 1 world champion, McLaren golden boy, driver of the ages. And in recent years, loving husband and father.
Sometimes, Oscar wondered what labels the world would assign to him. Oscar Piastri. Loving husband and father, sure.
But was there anything else?
*
In which we explore the loss of identity that comes with being a WAG, a parent, and a husband.
