Summary
George looked around and asked, “Oscar’s not coming?”
Alex snorted. “He said he might. You know how that goes.”
Max chuckled. “Yeah, he’s probably already out somewhere with a cute boy and an overpriced bottle of champagne.”
“Speaking about me?”
The voice came from just behind Lando, low, smooth, threaded with amusement.
He turned.
And okay. Yeah.
Cute boy, expensive champagne, it all suddenly made sense.
Or: the one where Lando tries to fix his broken heart with fun, flirting, and very bad decisions.

Summary
Shane Hollander’s hopes for the NHL were ripped from him by an ACL tear and replaced with doctor prescribed opioids at age 18. Four years later, hockey is a distant memory and his days consist of strange men and chasing a feeling drugs can never seem to provide anymore.
Ilya Rozanov’s family returned home to Russia when his father’s mental state deteriorated and the government wasted no time snatching back his work visa. Ilya stayed behind in that godforsaken city to do the only thing he had ever been able to support his family doing: sell dope.
Ilya sees a lot of sad people. Shane sees a lot of horny men. Neither of them are prepared for what they see in each other, and what it means for the boxes they’ve allowed themselves to be put into.

Summary
Their time as teammates starts like any other.
Lando is the older driver. The car is almost fast. They get better, eventually.
And through it all, there is something underneath every conversation, at every track, and in hotel rooms that Lando can ignore--until he can't.
aka 30k words of emotional slow burn

Summary
“Oh my god,” Lando whispers, voice hoarse. “Oh my god, did we fuck?”
“What?” Oscar shoots upright.
“Wait, no, pretend I didn’t say that. I’m a man. A straight man who likes women. Of course we didn’t fuck, that’d be insane.” His words are too rushed to be anywhere near believable.
Oscar blinks slowly. “Do you—Do you actually want me to pretend I didn’t hear it, or can I ask why you think we fucked?”
Or: Oscar and Lando navigating the messy experience of falling in love in a sport where being queer isn't really an option.

Summary
“It’s been what? Four years?”
“Five.” Max corrects him.
Five years since they hugged after Max’s last race, did a photo op for the press, and went their separate ways.
