    Summary

    Sweet Child O’ Mine by Guns N’ Roses plays when the stranger does step in, maybe a little after 7:30. They've only been officially open for a few moments, so he doesn’t hear the bell jingle, fully immersed with singing along at a low volume.

    “Am I interrupting something?”

    Sebastian does not shriek, nor does he screech or scream or whatever you could describe the noise that escaped him. He turns around frantically from where he was setting out pastries, scrambling for his phone to turn the volume down.

    “Oh mein Gott.” He breathes, pressing his lips into a thin line. “How’d you get in here so quietly?”

    or
    Sebastian might have a small crush on a customer. Maybe he’s trying too hard, opening early, bringing back retired items on the menu. He doesn’t mean to kidnap a kid with said crush in the process.

    (There’s no way Sebastian could overlook bruises upon bruises. The real problem is trying to convince Max that he doesn’t have to bear those on his own.)

    Summary

    Max Verstappen learns early that survival is a helmet covering the softest parts of his face, a silence you don’t test, a love you earn by being compliant. Years later, the grid decides he’s too violent to be accepted, until the small wrongness of Max's actions begin to stack, and someone finally looks long enough to see what’s been hiding in plain sight. This is about the shape of a childhood you can’t outrun, and the terrifying and fragile beginning of Max being met with more instead of less.

    OR: The grid rejects Max in 2015 before realizing he was shaped by abuse.

    OR: If you relate to Max Verstappen and wonder what it was like coming into F1 as a kid with an abusive father—read this.

    Summary

    “You’re the muse, not the canvas.” The fingers uncurled themselves from the fabric and Yotasuke stepped ahead of him. They didn’t say anything for the rest of the walk to the station but the words kept ringing in Yatora’s head.

     


    You're the muse, not the canvas

     

    Yatora knew that, he knew that in every art piece he created in a way he was throwing everything that was swirling inside of him onto the canvas, but wasn’t everything around them in a way a canvas as well?

    Anything could be used to make art, including oneself.

    Or

    An assignment on self-hatred, leads Yatora to creating a list of things that he hates about himself, when his friends discover said list, they do everything in their power to prove to Yatora that the points he makes on that list are so far from the truth, that it's ridiculous.

    Summary

    "Did you ever," says Yatora, "do things with those people?"

    Murai’s gaze flicks towards him. There, again: seriousness with an incredibly light hand. "Define things."

    Yatora looks at the ground.

    He says, "Things like what you did with me last weekend."

    Summary

    NORRIS: Are you *eating*?
    PIASTRI: Am I-? Of course not.
    NORRIS: Is it good?
    PIASTRI: Focus, Lando. No other cars around. Leclerc ten seconds behind, slow lap. After Leclerc is Tsunoda, timed lap, Turn 13.
    Let’s do a quick one.
    NORRIS: On it. Bon appetit, Piastri. [static, a gasp] Pastry!

    Or, Oscar is Lando's new race engineer for the 2024 season, and they stumble into a coworkers with benefits situation. And then things just keep getting more and more complicated-- but hey, the season is going pretty well!
