Lando Norris X Reader (Requested)
Summary: [SOULMATE AU] Lando meets his soulmate, and it's perfect, she's perfect.
Warning(s): Mild Language, Lando with self doubts, Oscar being the voice of reasonâin a very Oscar way, Cliche meet cute. Fluffy.
"I have faith in what I see, now I know I have met....an angel.. in person, and she looks perfect"
Lando sat in his driverâs room, staring at the timer on his left wrist. The ticking of the seconds was quiet, almost like a whisper, but it was loud in his ears, as if time was calling his name.
Lando knew what it meant, of course. He knew soulmates existed, and everyone had a different type of bond.
Oscar and his soulmate shared a red string of fate, something so visible and tangible that no one could ever doubt it. And no one has, anyone who has seen the pair grow up together, knows that they are meant for each other.
Lando thinks he should feel jealous, maybe.
Carlos and his soulmate had a mutual pain bond, where if one felt pain, the other did too. When one had a permanent injury, the other also suffered the same. Lando couldnât even begin to imagine what that would feel like.
At least Carlos doesn't have to feel periods, or maybe he does, Lando hasn't asked him that question, and Carlos had never brought it up.
Max and his soulmate? Well, they had each otherâs initials on their skin, marking them in a way that felt simple but perfect for them.
Lando knew there were many kinds of soul bonds, but his own was⊠different.
It was a countdown.
It had appeared the day after he hit puberty, like a flash of ink on his skin. At first, it was just a random number of years, days, and hours. It seemed distant, like something that wouldnât matter for a long while. But as the years passed, the timer slowly ticked down.
From years to months, and now, it was finally in days. The timer was counting down to the moment he would meet her, the one person who had the power to change his life forever. The one who would match his soul in a way that no one else ever could.
13 hours, 23 minutes, 56 seconds.
That was the time remaining.
Lando took a deep breath, staring at the timer, watching the numbers tick down. Tomorrow. Tomorrow, he was meeting her.
It felt so damn close. It was so damn close.
He considered his countdown to be both reassuring and frustrating at the same time.
Of course, he couldnât say it was painful when Carlosâ soulmate probably went to sleep with an appendix one day and woke up without it, thanks to their bond. Lando could only imagine how deeply unsettling that must be.
Or how nerve-wracking it still must be for Charlesâwho hasn't found his soulmate yet, to listen carefully to make sure no one says the words written on his shoulder blade. Lando thought that sounded like a nightmare.
His timer, though, felt like a quiet kind of pressure. A soft, constant reminder that something was coming.
Something big. Something important.
At first, it had given him comfort. Back when the number of years was still high and the days counted in thousands, Lando thought it was a blessing. His soulmate would see him when he was at his bestâwhen heâd finally grown into himself, maybe a little more mature. Maybe even, just maybe, worthy of her.
But now, seeing the days ticking away, he wasnât sure what he felt anymore.
It had been years since he hit puberty. So many years, in fact, that the timer on his wrist had gone from a comforting countdown to a constant source of anxiety. The numbers were finally down to the wire, and Lando couldnât help but feel jittery about it.
He had spent the past year staring at it, unable to focus on anything else.
Every time he remembered how much time he had left, his stomach churned, his nerves tightening. Everyone noticed it too. The nervous energy had been building up, and now, with only a day left, it was impossible to ignore.
Lando was really excited to meet his soulmate. He truly was. But if he was being honest with himself, he was also fucking terrified. Everyone knew it didnât always work out the way you wanted it to.
He had seen relationships fall apart. He had seen people struggle with the weight of their soul bonds. And Lando was scaredâscared his soulmate wouldnât want him.
He was scared that when he finally met her, she might look at him and decide he wasnât worth the wait.
He tried to push the thought aside, to drown it out with logic.
Why would she not want Lando Norris? Famous F1 driver, all-around golden retriever? He grinned at the thought of himself as a âgolden retriever.â It was a joke his friends liked to throw around.
It made him laugh, but there was a bitter edge to it, too. That side of him, the more confident part of himself, knew the truth: He was a catch. Heâd grown into his own, his place in the world as an F1 driver becoming clearer by the day. He had fans, he had respect, and he had a group of friends who genuinely cared about him. He was doing okay.
But there was another part of him, a smaller, quieter voice that still whispered in the back of his mind. It was the voice that made him second-guess himself, the voice that asked: What if she doesnât like Lando?
Not Lando Norris, but Lando.
Lando, who needed time to warm up to people. Lando, who could be awkward and uncouth at first, stumbling over his words or trying too hard to make someone laugh. Lando, who wasnât always the life of the party, and sometimes just needed his own space to recharge. Lando, who had panic attacks and random bursts of energy that he couldnât always control. Lando, who had an insistent need for physical touch like a touch-starved child, always craving affection, even in the smallest of ways. It made him feel vulnerable.
Would she want to know him, all of him?
He barely noticed when the door cracked open.
âLando,â his trainer called, leaning against the doorframe. âZak wants you in the team meeting. Now.â
Lando blinked, shaking himself out of his daze. âRight. Yeah. Coming.â
He forced himself up, rolling his shoulders and shaking out his hands as if that would help the nervous energy buzzing under his skin. He grabbed a water bottle, took a sip he didnât really need, and made his way to the meeting room.
Inside, the usual suspects were already seatedâZak, the engineers, strategists, a few mechanics, and of course, Oscar, who glanced up when Lando entered.
Zak barely looked up before launching into the meeting. âAlright, boys. Letâs talk strategy.â
Lando dropped into his chair, hands on the table, trying to look engaged as Zak ran through tire strategies, pit stop timings, and race simulations. But he couldnât focus. His leg bounced under the table. His fingers tapped against his thigh. He shifted in his seat every few minutes. He could feel the countdown, hear it in his head, ticking away like a bomb waiting to go off.
Across the table, Oscar squinted at him.
Lando ignored him, staring at the strategy notes in front of him, pretending to listen as an engineer explained something about tire degradation.
___________________________
Oscar waits until the room clears out before speaking. âAlright,â he says, leveling Lando with a look. âWhatâs going on?â
Lando exhales sharply, staring down at the numbers on his wrist. âThe countdown ends tomorrow.â
Oscar blinks. âYour soulmate timer?â
Lando nods. âYeah.â
Oscar is quiet for a moment, considering him. âYou nervous?â
Lando scoffs, rubbing his hand over his face. âMate, I feel like Iâm gonna throw up.â
Oscarâs voice is calm, steady. âWhy?â
Lando looks at him, incredulous. âBecauseâwhat if she doesnât like me? What if she meets me and decides Iâm not worth it? What if sheââ
Oscar cuts him off, tone matter-of-fact. âWhat if she does?â
Lando falters.
Oscar tilts his head. âWhat if sheâs nervous too? What if sheâs worried you wonât like her?â
Lando hadnât thought of that. Heâs spent so long worrying about being enough that it never occurred to him that she might be feeling the same.
Oscar shrugs. âYouâre Lando. Youâre an idiot sometimes, but youâre also... you.â He gives Lando a pointed look. âAnd if sheâs meant for you, sheâll see that.â
Lando exhales, some of the anxiety in his chest loosening. He nods slowly. âYeah. Okay.â
Oscar pats his shoulder once. âGood. Now, stop acting like a nervous wreck. Itâs weird.â
Lando laughs as he watches Oscar walk towards his soulmate, who was visiting him before they both travel to Melbourne together for a mini holiday before the season starts.
Lando wonders if he'll have someone like that.
Well, you'll find out tomorrow mate
And isn't that a thought to keep you up all night.
___________________________
Lando sat in the McLaren garage, arms crossed, leg bouncing so hard it was shaking the whole chair. His eyes kept flicking to the countdown on his wristâ1 hour and 57 minutes.
He hadn't slept. He couldn't. He was running on adrenaline, nerves, and whatever was left of his sanity.
Oscar, sitting across from him, had been watching in silence for a while now. Finally, he sighed. âYou look awful.â
âThanks, Oscâ Lando muttered.
âNo, really,â Charlotte added as she walked past, then doubled back to take in the full disaster that was Lando Norris. âYou look like you fought sleep and..lost.â
âI didnât fight,â Lando grumbled. âJust⊠didnât sleep at all.â
Zak, who had been reviewing data, finally looked up. âWhy?â
Oscar barely waited a second before answering. âHeâs meeting his soulmate today.â
Silence. Then, understanding.
âOhhh,â Zak said.
âOh,â Charlotte echoed.
âYeah,â one of the strategists, Alex, nodded. âFair enough.â
Lando groaned, dragging a hand down his face. âItâs stupid.â
âItâs not,â Charlotte said immediately.
Zak hummed. âIf I had to meet the person destined to put up with me forever, Iâd be nervous too.â
Charlotte snorted. âMate, youâve been married for years.â
Zak shrugged. âDoesnât mean sheâs not still stuck with me.â
Alex grinned. âYeah, but at least you didnât look like this when you met her.â he motioned towards Lando's... well, everything.
Lando scowled. âI hate you all.â
Oscar, looking entirely too entertained, leaned back in his chair. âYou know, weâve all been where you are. Well, except me, âcause Iâve known since I was a kid.â
Lando shot him a glare. âNot helpful.â
Oscar ignored him. âBut everyone else? Yeah. Zak, Charlotte, the othersâthey all went through it. And guess what?â
Lando sighed. âWhat?â
âIt works out,â Oscar said simply. âSo stop stressing. Just be you.â
Lando exhaled, the weight in his chest easing just a little.
Zak clapped his hands. âRight. Now that weâve reassured our nervous wreck of a driverâgo eat or drink something. You look like youâre about to pass out.â
Charlotte smirked. âYeah, would be pretty embarrassing if you collapsed before even meeting her.â
Lando groaned. âI really hate you all.â
But for the first time that day, he actually felt a little better.
________________________
Lando stood, his eyes glued to the countdown timer on his wrist. Seconds seemed to stretch and warp before his eyes, the clock counting down with an unrelenting precision.
Six... Five... Four...
The food court at McLarenâs Bahrain base was alive with chatter, but everything around him felt like background noise.
He had no coffee now. It had long since been abandoned on the table. It had stopped working its magic hours ago. Lando only had his timer, and the ever-decreasing seconds were all that seemed to matter. He took a slow, steadying breath, trying to focus.
Two... One...
Zero.
And then, before he could even think to breathe or move, somethingâno, someoneâsuddenly collided into him. It was so quick, so unexpected, that Lando didnât have time to react, to step aside or brace himself.
The impact surprised him with the force of it. Her papersâdozens of themâexploded into the air around them like snowflakes, swirling in a chaotic dance before they settled to the ground.
Lando instinctively reached out, his hands finding her waist, his fingers wrapping around her as he steadied her in his arms.
The moment felt like it was happening in slow motion, every second suspended in time.
He caught her. Like a movie scene, the way he pulled her against him, his heart leaping in his chest. She was there, right in front of himâher warmth against him, her breath soft against his skin.
His chest tightened. Perfect.
It wasnât just a word. It was everything. She was everything.
For a few seconds, the world around him disappeared, and he simply held her there, feeling the pulse of her in his arms, the beat of his heart syncing with hers. Lando knew, without a doubt, that this was it.
This was her. This was the moment heâd been waiting for, for what felt like forever, and everything in the world seemed to make sense for the first time.
Then, reality hit. He was still holding her. His heart raced, suddenly aware of the weight of the moment.
He had to let go. Right?
But his hands lingered on her waist as if they didnât want to let go. He could feel the heat of her body, the slight tremor in her touch, and in that second, he realized she was just as affected.
Her touch felt like coming home.
âOhâuh... sorry, I... didnât mean to...â Landoâs voice was breathless, his usual confidence faltering in the face of everything heâd ever wanted. He slowly released her, stepping back a fraction, but he couldnât seem to bring himself to let her go entirely.
She smiled then, a soft, knowing smile. It was shy but warm. There was a hint of excitement in her eyesâsomething that matched the fluttering in his chest.
They stood there, neither of them speaking for a moment, as if the weight of the moment was too much to fully comprehend just yet.
Her gaze met his, and he could see the same wonder in her eyes. She didnât seem like she was in a rush to leave either.
The silence between them hung for just a moment, and then Lando awkwardly scratched the back of his head, still not quite sure what to say.
âI'm Lando,â he said, his voice slightly shaky. âNice to meet you... soulmate.â
She took a small step back and gave him another soft smile, her cheeks tinged with a light blush.
âNice to finally meet you, Lando,â she said, her tone just as shy but equally sincere. âItâs Y/N.â
âDo you wanna get some coffee?â
Y/n raised an eyebrow, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. âI thought you were just coming out?â
Lando chuckled, the sound genuine, his nerves easing with her playful tone. âNo, well, I mean, yeah, but...I could use another one.â
There was no way in hell he was letting a moment like this slip away. Not when he was standing here with her, his soulmate, the person heâd been waiting for.
Y/n smiled, nodding. âI could definitely use one.â
And just like that, the wait was over.
There were no more numbers to stare at, no more nerves twisting in his stomach. It was just the two of them, standing in a world that felt just a little bit smaller, just a little bit brighter.
The start of something. Something he was finally ready for.
The start to his forever.

im SURE Anakin likes to be hugged, and I would love to hug him.
hi!! i love your hybrid aus so muuuch
could you do one with Max who has a high maintenance cat hybrid? sheâs a picky eater, likes pretty and expensive clothes, not dirtying her fur, things like that :)
i love this!
cw: HYBRID!reader
"sorry, angel," max mumbled as he placed your plate down in front of you.
a frown crossed your face as you looked down at your dinner. brandishing your knife and fork, you poked at your dinner. "what... is it?" you asked, pulling your cutlery away from the food.
"what is it?" max echoed, staring across the table. "salad and soup. you used to love salmon and soup."
a scoff left your lips, your tail moving from side to side. "yeah, when i first came to live with you." when you pushed your soup away, it splashed onto the table. "where's my salmon?"
you weren't always fussy. when max first took you in off the streets, you scrambled to eat anything he put in front of you. your clothes had been tattered and dirt back then, not pretty like what you wore now.
"i couldn't get your salmon," he mumbled, reaching over the table to take your hand. "sorry, kitten."
you pulled your hand out of his grip and stood up. with a huff, you turned on your heel and marched away from the dining table. "kitten!" max called after you, but he was gone. he was lucky you didn't throw your soup all over the floor.
hiding in his bed, your tail flicked. you weren't happy, not in the slightest. was your salmon too much to ask for? you didn't think so. if he loved you, he'd go out and get your salmon.
no, that wasn't fair. you knew he loved you, you were just being bratty.
your ears twitched as the bedroom door opened. "kitten," he mumbled and sat on the end of the bed. "talk to me."
pulling the blanket from over your head, you pouted at him. "i want my salmon," you mumbled. but your tail, the indicator of how you were feeling, was still.
"you want your salmon?" he asked as opened his arms.
you nodded as you crawled into his lap. your head was tucked against his neck as you pawed at his shirt, at his chest. maybe if you acted cute enough, you would get everything you wanted.
max released a sigh and threw his head back. "okay, fine," he mumbled and kissed the top of your head. "go get your coat on."
your eyes lit up. "are we gonna get salmon?"
"yes, kitten. we're gonna get salmon."
wtf why this have so many likes???? I made many mistakes stop reading please đđđ
@ Anakin Skywalker Ă Female!Reader
â english is not my first language; I'm just trying to practice don't pay attencion to this please
â ïž mentions of rape and violence
tags: angst and a little of confort
Summary: Someone tried to rape reader while Anakin was on a mission, the last thing that the reader wants, is to talk about it. â ao3
Anakin was coming back from a successful mission, joking around with Ashoka about how many droids they destroyed, a normal habit. He was so excited from coming back home that he couldn't suppress his smile; but Obi Wan, who received them, wasn't happy.Â
While the others masters looked like always, serious. Obi Wan looked at Anakin with worried eyes.Â
" Is something wrong, Master? " Anakin asked, a little disappointed for not seeing you on the platform waiting for him, he wanted to be with you so bad. Stepping far from the others, finally his master answered.Â
" Promise me that you are not going to freak out " Obi Wan pursed his lips, while Anakin frowns with a confused look.
" Why? " Anakin tried it to make a smile to hide his bad mood , if he was going to be sent to another long mission, he was not going to be able to bear it. Obi Wan gave him the lookâI'm not going to answer until you promiseâ. " Okay, I promise. What happened? "
Obi Wan sighs before telling him that in the last gathering you showed up trying to hide some bruises on your body, and when Obi Wan interrogated you about it, you only said that it was nothing. Obi Wan couldn't just ignore it, you were a Senator and if you were in some kind of danger, he should inform it.
And he knows that you are close to Anakin, probably more than you should, seeing how his padawan left barely he ended the sentence, confirmed his thoughts.
In your room, a sweet cup of tea aromatizes while you're reading papers from work. Your clothes hid the bruises on your skin, even though it had been a few days they still hurt when you pressed them. Knowing Anakin was arriving today, the concerning feeling about how you were gonna pass unnoticed makes you wanna throw out.Â
Lying to Anakin wasn't one of your favorites activities, at all. However, telling him the reason for your bruises could ruin everything, could make him hate you. And that was the last thing you wanted.Â
Even though you spent the last few days figuring out how to deal with this, when Anakin appeared in front of you, you realized that you weren't prepared at all. Getting inside of your room, Anakin didn't hesitate in grabbing your hand and lifting up the sleeve of your dress, watching the bruises of differents colors caused a huge impact on the jedi. You tried to hide them with your other hand but Anakin didn't allow it.Â
" Who did this to you? " His eyes full of anger made you swallow, trying to keep calm.
" It's okay, Anakin. It's not a big deal" with a smile you stand up, your heart beat painfully. This was not going to work.Â
" It's not okay, and you know it. Tell me who the person is." He wasn't asking, you avoided his touch, feeling that your disgusted skin didn't deserve to be touched for no one you loved. Maybe If you revealed a little of the truth he would let you forget it.Â
" I really don't know"Â
But Anakin didn't let you get away, trapping you between the desk and his body, your hand covered by his gentle touch made you wanna cry.Â
" How did this happen?" He was so close that you could feel his breath, your eyes down revealed that you didn't want to look at him. Nevertheless Anakin wasn't going to give up "Love, how did this happen?"Â
Feeling like you were collapsing, your cheek was held by Anakin, you looked up with a miserable expression.
"Can't we just forget about this? I really don't want to talk about it." You wanted Anakin to hold you close enough to wipe the dirt off your body. He did, he hugged you around your waist and hiding his head on your shoulder. After a long time, you finally felt safe.
You weren't prepared to relive that night, and Anakin could feel your pain, promising himself that he would find the person who hurt you and pay for It.
y/n: but look at him! He is soo cutee, should we adopt him? *rise the kitten*
anakin: we still have R2D2, we can't have another pet
r2d2: *angry robotic noises*
For my Sebastian Anon, I hope you enjoy! Requests are open, so Ask away!! (This is from Charles's POV/Sebastian's POV)
To say that Sebastian had attempted to not drive the boys mad was... A statement that could be made... Was it truthful? No. Not in any source of the word. From the moment Charles began suggesting things to do, Sebastian would interject with comments on how Y/N would have loved doing it. Had Charles not been dealing with this behavior for a week from Sebastian, he would have thought it was cute that his mentor was this in love. Right now, it was just annoying Charles. But he was trying his hardest not to lose his mind as he quickly glanced at his phone wondering if Y/N had checked her messages yet. Sadly, she hadn't. Charles was still on delivered. "I need help..." Charles mumbled.
With the message sent to Lewis, Charles prayed to whoever was listening that Lewis could help him. Or, at least provide Sebastian with more than Charles was currently doing. Y/N still hadn't read her message, and Charles was trying not to panic about that. If Sebastian wasn't panicking about Y/N yet, it meant that he had been in touch with her recently. He certainly didn't want to ask if Sebastian was talking to her. He didn't want to open that can of worms. Yet, life didn't feel the same. It wanted to torture Charles.... (SEB POV) Sebastian sighed as he turned to Charles, unaware of the two conversations that Charles had while he was lost in his thoughts about Y/N and what she was doing without him while he was stuck racing on her birthday. He was usually so good about celebrating her birthday with her before the races, if one was scheduled. But time had simply got away from Sebastian this time. It made him feel soo small. "Do you think Y/N will forgive me for being away? I know I got her gifts, balloons, flowers... But it's not the same as being here with me, or there with her, you know?" Sebastian asked Charles. Seemingly forgetting who he was speaking too. It was Charles, the chronically single member of the grid. Well, that was a lie, but Sebastian wasn't in the right state of mind to focus on it. "Oh mon Dieu" Charles exclaimed, making Sebastian arch his eyebrow as he looked down at the young Monégasque driver. Slightly offended by Charles's reaction. "It's a valid question! I am here! She is there!" It was at this moment that Sebastian's phone went off making him look down, his eyes growing wide as a smile spread across his face and his fingers quickly tapped against the screen to open the message
Part 3?! Or end it here?!
I can't believe there is only ONE fic of franco x lando THIS IS CRIMINAL
