Summary
Lando Norris used to be the guy you lost yourself to at 3 a.m. in a club: DJ, producer, professional burnout in progress. Then the crash, the rehab, the very nearly not-making-it.
Now he lives above a wildlife hospital on the Cornish coast, making coffee for exhausted vets and writing quiet, bird-soaked tracks no one’s supposed to hear. It’s small, and disciplined, and safe. Mostly.
Oscar Piastri is the vet who signed off on admitting him as “not technically avian” and never quite recovered from it. He likes order, risk assessments, and patients who can’t sneak off to sit on sea walls and flirt with catastrophic decisions. Unfortunately, he also likes Lando.
When a BBC documentary and live show — Tidal Line Live: Sea & Sanctuary — offers Lando a way back onto a stage, everyone has an opinion. Trustees see headlines. Old managers smell money. Lando feels the old hunger in his bones. Oscar feels sick.
This is a story about what comes after the crisis: about recovery as a practice, about found family in a small hospital full of broken birds, and about two people learning how to stay — with themselves, and with each other.

Summary
Lando flies to Vancouver to film a North Shore special — great content, terrible idea. One rainy Fromme ladder bridge later, he’s got a cracked helmet, a taco’d wheel, and the kind of bone-deep fear that turns every trail into a highlight reel of what could go wrong.
Enter Drop Bear Cycles: part bike shop, part chaos temple. Logan wants crash clips, Daniel wants engagement metrics, Mark wants him not to die on their warranty. Oscar, the mechanic with the steady hands and steadier lines, just wants Lando to look where he wants to go.
What starts as “local mechanic helps visiting YouTuber” turns into something else: night rides under headlamps, new mental files taped over old crash memories, a group chat that won’t shut up, and a feelings problem neither of them planned on.
There’s only one problem: the tour never stops, and Lando’s life is built on flights and upload schedules while Oscar’s is rooted in one rain-soaked city that’s finally starting to feel like home.
Or: Lando comes to the Shore for content and leaves with a bike-shop family, a new favourite trail, and a boy who teaches him how to choose a line — a story about impact, timing, and the shape of the lines we take.

Summary
The man put down the drink with a little clink, looking down bashfully. Cute, Sirius thought. “It was hm—a gig.”
“A gig?”
The man nodded. “I’m a musician, as you probably put together. Sometimes schools will ask if I can perform there,” he shrugged.
Huh. “Why schools though?”
The man blinked, a slow lopsided smile forming. Sirius felt like he was missing something but was very content watching the way the red, slightly swollen lips from the steaming tea slid into a toothy smile. “I think you can figure that out on your own,” he replied.

Summary
“No,” Lando gasps, bursting into the throne room with his poor servant hot on his heels.
“Your Highness!”
“You can’t send Flo off to marry some random arse of a crown prince just so he can become king! It’s not fair when she still has a whole life in front of her!” he exclaims before briefly dipping into a bow. “Your Majesties.”
Behind him, Max falls to his knees, repeatedly begging the king and queen for forgiveness for the crude behavior of their son.
King Adam waves a hand at him to get him to be at peace before addressing Lando. “What do you propose otherwise, dear son?”
“Send me instead,” Lando blurts out without thinking. “Oli’s the heir, and I’m the spare. So I- I’ll marry this foreign prince.”
