    Summary

    When it's time to race in Barcelona, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris are dominating the 2025 season, with no real rivals in sight.
    Hence, the inevitable truth: even if they share the same colors, only one of them will be crowned world champion. The other, no matter how brilliant, will be remembered as champion of the defeated.
    Everything becomes even more complicated when a secret torn from one of them comes to light, one that will shake both their personal and professional lives. Because the two McLaren drivers, whether they like it or not, are bound together by an invisible thread.
    This is the story of how, while fighting against each other for the title, they started to fight for each other too.

    Summary

    Armand feeds him from the wrist and Daniel is unmade, pulled like the end of a slipknot until he once more is a thing unformed. A blank slate, tabula rasa, wiped clean. A sand castle at high tide. A snake eating its own tail.

    Everything eats itself in the end, comes back to where it started, and Daniel is no different. His blood is Armand’s blood is his blood, and when he gulps down mouthful after mouthful, Armand’s hand feverishly massaging his throat to aid the weak, dying muscles in forcing it down, it is himself he is drinking from.

    He is at the bottom of it all. He is at the place from before the bottom even existed, the place that always was. He is woven into nothing and back again. He is woven into nothing and it is woven into him. He is woven, and unwoven, and hungry, and woven, and starving, and woven.

    Starving, starving, starving. Like the ringing of an alarm clock. Eat, you stupid motherfucker. Feed.

    He thought he knew before, when he was just a dumb addict. What it means to be hungry.

    He had no fucking idea.

    Armand, Daniel, and a lesson in taking the long way home.

    Summary

    Who of us had not loved something or somebody? How much did these feelings, these loves, these worships, have to do with pure reason? Little or nothing, we saw at last. Were not these things the tissue out of which our lives were constructed? Did not these feelings, after all, determine the course of our existence? It was impossible to say we had no capacity for faith, or love, or worship. In one form or another we had been living by faith and little else.

    from The Big Book by William G. Wilson and Robert H. Smith, Chapter 4: We Agnostics

    Armand and Daniel on living by more than faith.

    Summary

    Daniel sees life like a river. Thinks he is caught up in a current that only goes one way, that will eventually sweep him out to sea. It’s easier for him to think so. It keeps him alive to think so.

    He doesn’t know that he could stand up and reach the bottom. He doesn’t know he has a choice.


    Drugs don’t work, sex doesn’t work, New York hasn’t worked. Somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, an improbable number of suicides have taken place. Somewhere in a bar in New York, Daniel hears about them. He wants to fill a void. The difference between what is real and what isn’t matters as little to him as the things he’ll find to throw into the darkness. Which, as it turns out, is quite a lot.

    Summary

    Survival is an artform.
    Armand has been an unwilling student, an eager acolyte, a master of the craft.

    The things he feels can be broken down into component parts. Can be simplified into anatomic essentials, the series of processes required to make him something that functionally resembles the likeness of man. Sensation without thought. Water-damp brushstrokes dragging across a canvas with no paint. No color. No light.

    Leaving Dubai was an act of necessity, arriving anywhere else an act of apathy.


    In which Daniel attempts to make sense of the past and Armand attempts to do whatever the opposite of that is.
