    Summary

    On the morning of the 2025 British Grand Prix, Lando wakes up with lead in his stomach. He cannot explain why he is nauseous at the thought of breakfast, cannot fathom why the prospect of his home race fills him not with exhilaration, like it should, but with dread.

    Something in his bones tells him that he won’t win.

    If he had known what would happen precisely 51 minutes and 16 seconds after he climbs into the car, he might have let the anvil on his shoulders press him right through the ground, home race be damned.

    If he had known what would happen, he would not have climbed into the car at all.

    Summary

    “Harry! Love, did you invite your friends over?” Lily calls from the kitchen.

    “Yeah!” Harry responds, calling back. However, as he gets closer to the kitchen he returns to a talking tone, “Ron and Draco are meeting in Diagon Alley and I’m leaving to get them. I think ‘Mione is going to wait at The Leaky Cauldron.” He sits down on the bench in their entry way to start putting his shoes on, feeling a kiss pressed to his forehead shortly after.

     

    ...

     

    Harry's family is going to be having one big dinner and Harry was told to invite his friends and Draco to it. So he does, and his friends get to meet the pure chaos that is Harry's family and see the interactions between them.

    Summary

    After ten years married to James, Regulus faces a new challenge as Harry reveals to him an unexpected crush.

    ---
    His son sighed. “It’s Draco.”

    Regulus froze for a moment before a loud laugh escaped him despite his best efforts to hold it back. “Harry, I thought you couldn’t stand him.”

    “I can’t,” Harry replied defensively.

    “But you have a crush on him?” Regulus asked, moving from his chair to sit on the edge of his desk, closer to his son.

    Harry’s eyes softened as he admitted, “Yes.” He paused and took a deep breath, “Now, help me please?”
