Summary
“I’m not a rookie and I’m not doing this to prove anything. I like racing in pre-heat," Oscar says.
Carlos’ brain short circuits. “What?”
Oscar inclines his head. "It focuses me. Makes me more desperate for the win.”
Desperate. Carlos can’t help it, his scent blooms.
--

Summary
Eventually Oscar couldn't hold it back anymore. "How does it work? The blood thing. The compulsion to drink it."
Lando blinked, clearly not expecting that question.
"I'm serious," Oscar continued, his nurse-brain fully engaged now. "Why does it have to be blood specifically? What about other bodily fluids? And what part of the blood are you actually consuming? The hemoglobin? The iron? Plasma proteins? Is it the stem cells in the bone marrow? What's the active ingredient?"
Lando stared at him for a moment, then let out a surprised laugh. "You sound like you're trying to write a research paper."
"I'm trying to understand," Oscar said. "Clinically. Scientifically. If this is real—and clearly it is—then there has to be some kind of mechanism. Some explanation."Or: Oscar Piastri is a dedicated and morally sound nurse and Lando Norris is a hundred-year old nervous wreck of a vampire, and Lando's been feeding on Oscar's favorite patient. And oh, they're neighbors.

Summary
What begins as a character study of his seasoned, decorated new teammate quickly curdles into obsession when Lance Stroll starts untangling the chronology of Fernando Alonso’s life. It’s pathetic, really – how badly he wants to anchor himself to Fernando’s narrative, to become more than just another pit stop in his restless teammate’s career.
Despite the marriages and the parade of high-profile relationships, Fernando Alonso has never been in love. For a man who lives and breathes racing, both on and off the track, he’s always taken this as a feature, not a flaw. Yet there’s something disarmingly intimate about Lance’s insistence on combing through his life, as though the act itself could stitch him into it.
