    Summary

    Daniel
    Okay, @Liam. Welcome to the offical F1 chat. This is the real deal here. Top secret. More secret than the CIA. Basically, Checo and I are straight. No one else is.

    Liam Lawson stumbles across George Russell and Alex Albon making out in a club bathroom and messages Yuki Tsunoda about it... little does he realise what he has uncovered...

    Basically: the entire grid, apart from (Daniel) and Checo, are gay and there is a super secret chat called the F1 Fruit Vendors where they talk all things SLAY AND GAY (Daniel's words).

    Chat and longer form writing fic that began silly but quickly became angsty. So it’s a real mix of silly miscommunication shenanigans and angsty miscommunication drama in the fruity orchard. If there is one thing we know about the orchard - there will be miscom, horny shenanigans and angst.

    It begins in 2024 and is now going into the 2025 season. It features an insane amount of people - too many for the tags - but F1 and some F2 people, and some oldies pop up every now and then. Get ready for one hell of a ride through emotionvile!

    Summary

    „Come up after the tournament. Stay here for a few days.“

    Jude has spent years teaching himself not to look for meaning in late-night messages, birthday calls, and plans that never quite happen.
    Then Erling asks him to come to Manchester, and Jude says yes before he can pretend to think about it.

    In a house Jude knows from video calls but has never entered, with rain against the windows, cold tea on the table, and fajitas waiting in the kitchen, the distance between them finally becomes harder to preserve than to cross.

    Their words may have forgotten how to be close, but their bodies still remember.

    Summary

    He thinks maybe this is all they need. Not a plan, not a label, not anything that makes sense on paper. Just this—Erling’s thumb tracing the curve of his jaw, the two of them under a flickering light, messy and young and stupid with it. Kissing on rain‑wet pavement in a city that belongs to neither of them. Standing close enough that the space between them doesn’t exist.

    Summary

    “I know who you think of when you look at me.”

    Daniel pauses, in shock at the quiet words spoken in an even quieter room. He’s only pulling his underwear up his legs after a shower, Charles is still stark naked in bed with his knees drawn up. He’s looking out the window at the night sky, arms wrapped around his legs in a vulnerable way.

    “But sometimes I wish you didn’t,” Charles admits, his voice cracking. “I wish you could look at me and see something other than a second chance. I wish you could see me for who I am.”

    “Charles,” Daniel says, walking over to the bed where Charles’ gaze is still directed to the sky. His body is shaking slightly. Daniel doesn’t know if it’s from tears or the cold chill in the room. “I see you. I do.”

    “You don’t,” he says firmly.

    Charles just wants someone to look at him and see only him for once.

    Summary

    “You did good today,” Till tells him, voice soft and honest, and something warm starts spreading from his chest to his entire body. Ivan hadn’t even realized how cold he was until Till touched him.

    Ivan is life's biggest winner, and it's not because of the competition.
