    Summary

    Lando Norris used to be the guy you lost yourself to at 3 a.m. in a club: DJ, producer, professional burnout in progress. Then the crash, the rehab, the very nearly not-making-it.

    Now he lives above a wildlife hospital on the Cornish coast, making coffee for exhausted vets and writing quiet, bird-soaked tracks no one’s supposed to hear. It’s small, and disciplined, and safe. Mostly.

    Oscar Piastri is the vet who signed off on admitting him as “not technically avian” and never quite recovered from it. He likes order, risk assessments, and patients who can’t sneak off to sit on sea walls and flirt with catastrophic decisions. Unfortunately, he also likes Lando.

    When a BBC documentary and live show — Tidal Line Live: Sea & Sanctuary — offers Lando a way back onto a stage, everyone has an opinion. Trustees see headlines. Old managers smell money. Lando feels the old hunger in his bones. Oscar feels sick.

    This is a story about what comes after the crisis: about recovery as a practice, about found family in a small hospital full of broken birds, and about two people learning how to stay — with themselves, and with each other.

    Summary

    “First time at a surf competition?”
    “Is it that obvious?”
    “A little.”
    “Because I look lost?” Lando said dryly.
    “Because you’re watching instead of pretending.” Oscar shrugged. “Most guests pretend.”
    Lando wasn’t sure whether to feel called out or flattered.
    “You always analyze people like this?”
    “I feel particularly inspired today.”

    Summary

    What he wants is for this to be a forever thing, not someplace Harry spent the summer once.  What he wants is for this to be more than a memory.

    Summary

    “Don’t you think it’s a bit odd that ever since Superman showed up, I’ve lost count of the near-death experiences and the number of times I’ve been kidnapped?”

    “You can’t blame Superman for that, mate,” Max cuts in. “Those things were happening to you long before he arrived.”

    “Lando,” George adds dryly, “it might have more to do with the fact that you always run toward danger. That, and your attitude tends to piss people off.”

     

    Metropolis has its first superhero, the Daily Planet has front-row seats, and Lando Norris has a brand new partner fresh from Smallville, the polite, focused, infuriatingly calm Oscar Piastri. Between chasing headlines, dodging LexCorp trouble, and maybe getting rescued once or twice, Lando can’t shake the feeling that his new colleague is hiding something.

    Summary

    “It’s probably not the best idea for us to do this,” Oscar says, looking away. “We’re living together, and the contract—”

    “Fuck the contract,” Lando interrupts, exasperated. “We can add a clause to it or something, I dunno. It can be like those stupid rom-coms where they agree not to fall in love with each other.”

    Or: Oscar Piastri is a lonely, closeted F1 driver who's one mistaken hook-up away from certain ruin. Lando is a down-on-his-luck photographer who's three days away from eviction. When Lando tries to mug Oscar in a desperate attempt to keep his housing, Oscar proposes a mutually beneficial arrangement: Lando lives with Oscar as his companion for one year. After that, they're free to go their separate ways. A rock-solid NDA and no hard feelings. What could go wrong?
