    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

    Lando Norris had a Michelin-starred life in London, until his grandma’s will yanked him back to the middle-of-nowhere town he’d escaped. The catch? She left her struggling waffle shop 50/50 to him… and to Oscar Piastri.

    Oscar. The hot, petty baker next door who’s been his childhood enemy since the Great Kangaroo Incident of 2005 (a misunderstanding, for the record). Now, thanks to a clause only a chaotic grandma would write, they’re stuck running the place together.

    It’s a disaster.

    Oscar thinks Lando’s a pretentious city boy who abandoned his roots. Lando thinks Oscar’s a judgemental hermit who seasons everything with spite.

    Their only common ground is a mutual desire to win the town’s annual holiday thing—mostly so they can gloat over each other.

    Between fighting over batter consistency and who gets to use the good mixer, they’ve got twelve days to turn this mess around. But as grudges start to thaw faster than frozen blueberries, they might discover that their grandma’s real recipe wasn’t for waffles at all.

    It was for this. Whatever 'this' is.

    Summary

    Oscar Piastri is a soft alpha engineering major whose biggest flex is his comprehensive gummy worm tier list.

    His hyperfixation? The new, god-tier scent at his fave candy shop.

    His new mission? Find the candy that smells like sunshine and sophistication.

    His new problem? The scent seems to be everywhere and nowhere, and his favourite candy shop's distractingly cute new employee, Lando Norris—a business major plotting world domination one sour belt at a time—is being weirdly unhelpful about the whole thing.

    It’s a classic case of “he’s not a snack, he’s the whole damn meal,” but for a phantom candy, and Oscar hasn’t gotten the memo yet that it's not the candy but the other whole damn meal he is ready to sell his soul for.

    Lando Norris.

    Summary

    Oscar escapes an auction house with a tracking chip in his spine and nowhere left to run—except straight into the hands of crime boss Lando Norris. What follows is not captivity, but something far more dangerous: care. Which makes it very, very hard for him to follow through on his… mission. Get information on the ‘Mclaren Syndicate’ and burn them from the ground up.
