Summary
“Just think of it as a free vacation, mate. Sebi’s not that bad!” Jenson consoled over the phone.
“He told Christian I shoved him.” Mark scoffed back. “He’s the only reason I’m freezing my ass off, shin deep in snow right now.”
“He was probably just scared you’d blame him too.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean he thinks you hate him. Between that and being called into the boss's office, I’m sure he was probably just wound up. You know how he gets.”
Sebastian did have a habit of overthinking to the point of self sabotage. It wasn’t a stretch to believe he’d gotten himself into a tizzy thinking Mark had some master plan to throw him under the bus, which is why he’d jumped at the first opportunity to shift the blame away from himself. That still didn’t make Mark feel any better though.
He was still cold. He was still in Switzerland. And he’d still have to waste a portion of his break spending time with the very man he’d been counting down the days to get away from.

Summary
George goes through the motions, shaking hands, making his way down the line. His eyes meet Verstappen’s as they reach each other, bracing himself for another dig, some mocking remark. But it doesn’t come.
Verstappen’s hand is warm as it grips George’s own, something unreadable in his eyes despite his winning smile.
“Good game.”
“Good game,” George echoes, glancing back briefly as Verstappen moves on to Kimi behind him, brow creasing. He’s never missed an opportunity to rub George’s face in it before. Maybe it’s for the cameras.
── ⛸ ──
Or: As captain of the Warriors Max has won the Elite Hockey League four times, George never has. As a new season begins and they go up against each other again, all George wants is to beat him. Just once.
Oscar's only goal is to prove himself - as a rookie, distractions are something that he cannot afford. Until he meets Lando, the fallen figure skater who Oscar knows nothing about, but still can't stay away from.
Russtappen and Landoscar ice hockey/figure skating au.

Summary
"Well, you see." Fred says slowly. "I cannot tell you much else. But he will."
Lando’s eyes snap open. "You did not invite your friend who uncontrollably turns into a giant to our fucking WG."
"I didn’t." he answers immediately, and Lando slumps into the chair from sheer relief. "He’s aware that in his… current conditions he shouldn’t travel. He’s not stupid, Lando, just desperate. But I told him about you."
"Me." Lando says flatly.
"Yes, about your research. And he would like to talk to you. See if you can help him figure out what’s going on with him."
"Me." Lando repeats again. "No. Why. Why?"
--
Lando's a folklore geneticist fresh out of his PhD. He bums around his shared flat in Berlin, goes on mental health walks, gets stoned regularly, and tries to convince funding bodies (and himself) that his research is worth supporting.
Oscar is a rising star in the world of motorsports who accidentally discovers himself to be the carrier of a previously unknown, but seemingly very dangerous Gene, which could easily end his career and potentially a few lives.
Fred, Lando's roommate and Oscar's friend, may have a solution to both of their problems.- Language:

Summary
Lando attaches the blushy, pouty photo and sends it, then locks his phone and drops it onto the carpet beside him, staring up at the ceiling.
There’s a pause, stretching suspiciously long.
A faint click echoes through the call. Mute. Then unmute again.
“Sorry,” OP says when he comes back, his voice rougher now. “Thought someone was at the door.”
Or: Lando loses an F1 championship and signs up for a charity Minecraft speedrunning tournament to cope with his existential crisis. Turns out his coach, faceless speedrunning champion OP81, might be a bit of a fanboy.
