play date [F1, LandOscar]

play date by debrief 

“You’re spending a lot of time with him,” Josh says. 

“He’s my boyfriend,” Lando responds dryly.   

“Fake boyfriend.” 

Lando plugs in his laptop and it chimes. “It was your idea,” he says. “What are you so sceptical about?”

I had this whole problem with myself about why I am reading this, why I am invested and why I like this. And something else on top of that. 

The thing is nothing made sense to me until the end. I just. I didnt understand why I like this so much, why I keep reading when this is basically nothing like the stuff I like to read. 

But there were those small details in the middle of it. Small things that got me deeper and gave it a little bit sense why I am reading this, planning on finnishing it even. Because it was so worth it. So, so, so worth it. 

My next plan is to reread this. That should tell you enough.

At Scott Hunter night, Ilya gets pulled into a drunken game of truth or dare with Scott and his teammates.

I just need my fill in Matti Jalo fics. And this is one of those. There is literally nothing else to see here. Just a couple Matti Jalo mentions. Thats it. Thank you. 

The Five Stages of Infatuation [F1, LandOscar]

The Five Stages of Infatuation by chaos_element16 

Oscar was 99% sure that Lando was not in love with him. Which was fine, because he was 99% sure that he was not in love with Lando. 

Well, okay. 98%. 

Or: 

Oscar falls in love with Lando very quickly and figures it out very slowly.

I didnt cry until the final chapter. 

Tbh, at any point I wasnt really sure how this would end up. At no point was I like yea I know what is going to happen next. Thas not to say I didnt guess some things, but mostly the future was a mystery most of the time. And that was just so good. Really, really goood.

Also. These two are fucking idiots in love. Thats it. Just two really stupid people who just cant get their head out of their asses until its almost too late. But there is nothing new about that. Literally nothing. 

anatomy of a joke [F1, LandOscar, oneshot, nc-17]

anatomy of a joke by linearity 

Lando and Max have a thing. It's none of Oscar's business. They make it his business.

I really like this because 90% of time I have no clue whats going on or what is really important to the story. This is like the inside of my brain where everything makes sense when nothing makes sense. 

At one point I had this feeling like Max is really the bad guy but seriously. This is not that black and white (nothing is, really). And there isnt really a bad guy in this fic. There are just people doing what they want when they want and actually kind of talking about it. Kinda. 

Okay. This is just weird, everythint just messed up and the reader not in the loop most of the time. So basically everything I love a story. Ha. 

Vibes Are Not Data [Game Changers, Wyatt Hayes/Lisa Kowalczyk, Hollanov]

Vibes Are Not Data by GlitterCity

Wyatt was not, like, nosy. For sure, he was interested. He was curious. He engaged with people, obviously, because most people were interesting and engaging and had cool thoughts and said neat stuff if you asked. 

So, no. Wyatt wasn’t nosy, but he wasn’t stupid, either.

Or: The Ballad of Wyatt and Ilya

First of all I love all the fics where we get the point of view from some one else than our lovely boys. Every second of it. I also love how we have tons of these fics where people figure those two shitheads out. 

But most important. I really like every single fic where we get to have a deeper view into other characters and other relationships. I know I mostly read Hollanov fics rn, but everything else is getting buried right now. So I dont really have a choise in this.

Wyatt and his wife make so much sense. Their chemistry, their backstory, common intrests, how they function and support each other. Everything. This is just something that the writer had to come up with and figure almost everything themselves. There is not a lot of info in the books.

This was also so good in every single way. I liked how they had theories and how they were thinking about Ilya and Shane. But it was still somoehow in the sidelines and their actual life was more important than figuring those two idiots out.

Also Wyatt and Ilyas friendship healed so much in me. I need more of that kind of bromance in fics. Ilya needs more friends and bigger family and here he is really getting it. Just give the boy everything, please.
