Summary
Silverstone had screamed itself hoarse for him, had waved Union Jacks and neon flags bearing his logo until the grandstands looked like a living, breathing sea of his colors. The world loved him today — revered him with a ferocity he once thought could fill every hollow space inside him.
And it meant nothing.
Because every time he blinked, he saw it again — the angry flush creeping up Oscar's normally composed face during the national anthem. The mechanical, joyless way he'd raised his champagne bottle during celebrations, spraying it at no one in particular with all the enthusiasm of someone washing their car. The way his eyes, usually so warm when they found Lando's, had turned flat and distant, like someone had flipped a switch and turned off everything that made him Oscar.

Bookmarker's Notes
But that was the problem, wasn't it?
It had meant something.
Somewhere between late-night takeout in unfamiliar cities and lazy morning sex in generic hotel rooms, between shared headphones during long flights and the easy, familiar way Oscar would hand him a water bottle without being asked — somewhere along the way, without realizing it, Lando had broken their most important rule.
He'd let this — let Oscar — matter.
He was a driver. He lived by data, by lines, by apexes, by precision and predictable outcomes. And by all the metrics he trusted, what they had was just efficiency — optimal resource allocation, a perfect synergy of need and convenience that maximized performance and minimized complication.
But Lando Norris, the master of oversteer, the king of late-braking heroics, had catastrophically misjudged the most important corner of his life.
He’d entered too fast, on cold tires, his heart overruling his head. He’d seen the flashing red of the warning signs — the way his chest tightened when Oscar smiled, the way he’d started measuring his own worth in the quiet approval in Oscar’s hazel eyes — and he’d ignored them all, flat-footing the throttle in a reckless, glorious, stupid ecstasy of how good it all felt.
The problem was he’d done the one thing an engineer would never forgive. He’d let the variable become a constant. He’d let Oscar become the equation.

Summary
When Harry succumbs to dementors in Little Whinging, the last thing he expects is to wake up and find Tom Riddle’s face staring back at him in the mirror.
It only goes downhill from there.
(In which Harry learns: if Voldemort had been like an atom bomb, Tom Riddle is the biblical forbidden fruit, succulent and fragrant and filled with an insidious rot that just may kill him.)

Summary
Zuko is courting Katara, and with every passing day finds new and insane ways of showing that he would quite literally move the spirit world and earth to make her happy.
In hindsight, it probably would've been better if Sokka had realised he was in love with Zuko at literally any time before this. Or preferably, never fallen for his best friend in the first place.

“I see.” Zuko closes the scroll. “Is the Water Tribe sending a replacement?”
“Uh yeah,” Sokka gestures to himself dramatically. “You’re looking at him.”

Summary
So far, college has taught Stiles three things:
1) Eight am classes are cruel and unusual and should be avoided at all costs, even if it means having to enroll in something truly hideous instead, like Econ 101.
2) Dorm security is just as tight as Stiles’ orientation leader had promised it would be, and the dude guarding Scott’s dorm in particular does not respond well to bribes.
3) Mrs. McCall clearly had no clue what she was talking about when she’d insisted that Scott and Stiles needed to branch out and room with strangers, so it’s all her fault that Scott ended up with a total dick of a roommate and Stiles got stuck all the way across campus with some guy who has a girlfriend two towns over and is thus never around.
Or, the one where pledge brothers Stiles and Scott start a prank war with Derek Hale's fraternity.
