CHAPTER ONE: The Shadow Rider

Genuinely going insane right now . I’m not gonna be home for the mugello gp this weekend ( my mom gonna watch it for me lmao ) SO OFC THEY HAD TO MAKE THE CUNTiEST CONCEPT KNOWN TO MAN KIND 😭😭😭😭 . Idk why I feel that this go gonna be MESSY ( Valentino I’m looking at u )

Marc better keep his ass on that bike or I’m genuinely gonna crash mine 💀😭

Referring to the post I made earlier this morning, do u all think vale played a roll in the way pecco , Marco , Franky or other riders from the academy view Marc ? Especially that now Marc and Pecco are teammates and seem to get along most of the time + plus Marco at silveratone and some small interactions with Franky

MARC ON ONEEEEE , why do I feel like this shit it’s gonna be the happiness before the storm cuz mugello it’s coming up 😭

I read not so long time ago a ff on here ( gonna tag if I remember the username) about Marc being a VR46 rider . Let’s say , what IF , Marc would have actually become on in real life , with everything still going on the same , especially the 2015 incident . Do u guys think that the outcome of vale and Marc would have been different??

Ok u all , ignore my editing skills, but keep this wonderful picture in mind for future use )

Anyway , it would be so crazy if that picture was actually real

Remember when I said how funny would it be if vale would handout the prize to Marc at mugello , someone did god’s work on ao3

At this point I start to think that Fabio is cursed ( my poor boy😭)

valentino rossi is like if a cigarette wished to be human

“Shadow of the Champion”

Imagine a world where the winds of fate blew differently—where it was Alex Márquez, not Marc, who rose first, who burned brightest, who became the unstoppable force in MotoGP history. The elder Márquez, stoic and relentless, carved his dynasty with cold precision, claiming title after title while his younger brother, Marc, chased shadows and expectations he could never quite eclipse.

In this alternate timeline, the infamous Sepang Clash of 2015 never happened. Valentino Rossi never accused Marc of sabotage. There was no war, no fractured paddock, no great divide—only uneasy peace and mutual curiosity between the Doctor and the overshadowed younger Márquez.

But everything changes in 2025.

As Marc grows disillusioned riding in his brother’s colossal shadow, he shocks the racing world by signing with VR46, Rossi’s team, searching for a new identity away from the Márquez legacy. Valentino, takes Marc under his wing—not as a rival, but as a prodigy too long eclipsed. Whispers swirl in the paddock: is Rossi building the champion he never had? A younger reflection of himself, full of fire and scars?

But in this twisted mirror world, history has a cruel way of repeating itself.

When the VR46 team rises to dominance, Pecco Bagnaia, the golden boy of the factory Ducati team and Rossi’s original heir, sees Marc’s arrival as a threat—not just to his career, but to everything he thought Rossi stood for. Tensions brew. The championship closes in. Elbows sharpen. And in a dramatic twist of fate, Sepang becomes a battlefield again—this time, not between Marc and Rossi, but Marc and Pecco.

A shove. A stare. A controversy that will define a generation.
