My Requests Are Staying Open For Any Type Of F1 X Reader Stories Because This Has Been Absolute Nonsense

My requests are staying open for any type of F1 X Reader stories because this has been absolute nonsense

I still don’t understand why people waste time writing fan fiction, especially about real people—like footballers—with absurd, unrealistic scenarios. For example, I stumbled upon a ridiculous story about an F1 driver and a plus-sized girl. Let’s be honest: it’s not about whether plus-sized women deserve love; it’s about facing reality. How likely is it that a rich, young, handsome celebrity, who could have any woman he wants, would date someone who doesn’t meet conventional beauty standards?

This isn’t some fairytale about being “not like other girls.” It’s about the carefully crafted image these men project—flawless, desirable, and unattainable. Instead of pouring your time and energy into these fantasies, maybe focus on yourself. Waiting to be “chosen” by a man, especially one as untouchable as an athlete, is a delusion.

These men don’t date everyday women for love. They date models, influencers, or celebrities because it’s mutually beneficial. Their relationships are often calculated business moves designed to boost their image and line their pockets with more endorsements. In a world where money equals power, dating someone who doesn’t fit that aesthetic offers no advantage.

And where does that leave you? As nothing more than a pawn, stripped of autonomy, your life reduced to the strings someone else pulls for their PR game. Stop dreaming about these unattainable scenarios and start working on yourself. The real world doesn’t care about your fantasies, and neither do they.

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: Love You Like A Love Song - Part Two :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧

F1 Grid X Reader

The grid reacts to a love song you wrote about them.

Part One

Pierre Gasly

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: Love You Like A Love Song - Part Two :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧

- Lover - Taylor Swift

The winter break in the F1 yearly calendar was possibly your favourite time of year, any time that you didn't have to miss your boyfriend for days at a time was time you cherished. During the season it was common for you and Pierre to pass each other like ships on the ocean. His early morning starts meant that you were waking up just as he left for the gym and with your days being spent in the studio you wouldn't arrive back to your shared home until long after he had eaten dinner, walked Simba and spent some time on the simulator to prep for that weekends upcoming race.

But winter break meant a few different things, the first being just over two months of freedom between the end of one season in Abu Dhabi and the beginning of testing before Bahrain kicked off the next. The second being that you and Pierre would spend a week visiting both of your families to spend some time with them before the two of you holed yourselves up in Strasbourg for the Christmas period, your apartment there playing host to the most wonderful time of year until New Years called you both down to Monaco for the annual celebration with your friends.

But tonight was more important than thoughts of the upcoming season, Christmas Eve was here and after you both got back from touring the Christmas market with Simba, the front door was locked and the curtains mostly drawn, the fireplace lit and the croon of old records on your player sealed you all inside your apartment for the night, wrapping you up in your own little snow globe. It was a picture perfect scene, you on the couch with Simba curled up in your lap, Pierre grabbing the wine and pasta that you were eating for dinner, with Miracle on 34th Street playing on the TV, snow falling past the window.

Every Christmas followed this routine since you and Pierre first celebrated the holiday together as a couple, and you couldn't picture a better way to spend it.

But of all of the traditions you followed there was one that seemed the most special, as a child Christmas gifts were locked away never to be opened until the morning, but being adults who made their own rules, you two always sat under the tree on the evening of the 24th and opened your gifts for each other. This year you could feel yourself on the edge of your seat because of the wrapped record that sat at the bottom of his pile, a surprise that you had been working on for about a month.

"qu'est-ce que c'est?" his goofy smile made you giggle as he got to the last gift in his little stack, a stack which had also contained a new watch, a silly t shirt with a photo of him and Charles when they were kids in their little karting suits (a matching one sat in a gift bag with the Monegasque's name on it) and a Cartier chain that now sat in its rightful place on his neck. The flat square was wrapped immaculately in the same gold and silver paper as his other gifts but once the paper was ripped off Pierre was met with a simple brown cardboard record sleeve, completely blank besides a polaroid that had been glued to the front, it was from your first Christmas together, taken in that very apartment when it was empty bar the Christmas tree and sofa you were currently sat on. One word decorated the bottom border of the photograph "Lover" written in your familiar handwriting.

Your own smile only grew when he immediately abandoned all his other gifts to swap out the current song for his mystery gift. Smooth guitars filled the room as he pulled you up to dance with him, your own voice echoing through the room as you settled into a slow sway.

Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever? And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever) You're my, my, my, my Lover

The songs end was met with the muffled crackle of the needle but you couldn't pull your eyes away from his. without breaking away from your gaze Pierre pulled a small box from his pocket and knelt on the spot. Love and admiration never leaving his eyes.

Your Lover, Forever.

Charles Leclerc

- Feels like This - Maisie Peters

There were a select few honours that you had managed to have in your life this far, the first being the music you were able to give to the world. Since you were old enough to babble you held a tune and the passion you had for music translated to the songs you wrote and shared with the world as your career.

The second being the honour you had to be the long time girlfriend of the most amazing man you had ever known. Charles met you when you were traveling in Italy a few years ago as a well deserved treat to yourself after finishing university. A coffee shop in Maranello played host to your meet cute where you sat in a cosy corner next to the most beautiful piano, when the owner saw you eyeing the instrument she insisted that you play something, and among the crowd of café patrons stood a transfixed Charles Leclerc. He was still in his first year of racing with Ferrari at the time, and once you finished playing a song that you had written the patrons applauded while he worked up the courage to ask you for your name, and eventually your number. The relationship that followed was nothing short of a fairy tale and as his career in formula one grew so did yours in music, both of you growing into notorious and respected individuals in your respective fields.

All this to say that your third and most recent honour came in the form of a request 6 months ago. It was inevitable that Charles brother Lorenzo would eventually propose to his long time love Charlotte but when the day finally came it was magical. This exciting chapter in their lives came with a very special request from the future groom himself, as he pulled you to the side at the family dinner held to celebrate the upcoming nuptials and explained that he wanted to surprise Charlotte with a song for their first dance as husband and wife, and he wanted you (renowned artist and his brother's girlfriend) to write and perform it.

Which led you to tonight, mere hours before the wedding, where you were sat at the piano in the ballroom of the beautiful historic mansion in the Italian countryside that would play host to the reception the following day. You were so engrossed in your secret rehearsal that the footsteps of your love went unheard until you felt him sit with you, the both of you sharing the piano stool. Charles made a successful distraction as your fingers left the keys and you turned to look at him, joy dancing in his eyes as he took you in, sat in your happy place.

"So this is what you have been working on? It sounds beautiful."

Charles was just as much in the dark about your song as the rest of the family, the only one who had heard the song being Lorenzo when you sent a voice note to him three weeks ago for final approval, the phone call you received minutes later held his glowing admiration and you could almost swear his voice was heavy with emotion as he thanked you what must have been a hundred times, citing the songs perfection.

"Enzo asked me to write it, its his gift to Charlotte for tomorrow, their first dance."

You fiddled with the keys absentmindedly before launching into the full song, this time with the vocals which echoed through the empty room, the world coming to a standstill as Charles watched you with eyes full of love.

Who cares about star signs? I'm hardwired to be with you You're like a sunrise and I'm scared that I'll never get enough of you Nobody called it a starfall Come out the blue I'm all butterflies I'm sky-high for you When it feels like this, like a light came on And you look at me like I'm all you want I got everything at my fingertips How can I resist when it feels like this?

The final notes echoed through the room as you met Charles' gaze for his approval, you were met with his hazel gaze staring into your soul.

"How do you do it?" He whispers in awe.

"I write them about you."

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

Carlos Sainz

- A Thousand Years - Christina Perri

You and Carlos never fought, in the three years that you have been lucky to love him it had never happened.

You were convinced that you were soulmates, twin flames that slotted together like puzzle pieces, your personalities fit in a way that you had never seen before, not in the love your own parents shared, not in the movies you grew up watching or the books you read, not even in the love you saw everyday between strangers on the streets that you would never meet again. Since the day you met Carlos Sainz you were convinced that he was the answer to the wishes that the little girl inside you once made on stars looking to find a handsome prince to love her forever.

Couples fight, it was normal, healthy even. The words bounced around your head, hitting the walls of your empty home in a never ending loop. Couples fight, but you never did.

Which is why you were so frazzled, why you sat in a trance in your living room, alone in your big empty house while your fiancé was on the other side of the world. Because you and Carlos never fought, until you did.

The argument became insignificant the second it ended, you couldn't even remember what it was about or what had started it in the first place, but it was enough to leave you in tears as Carlos picked up his keys and left two days before he was set to leave for Singapore. Your phone lay on the table in front of you, screen dark and notification bar empty. He had yet to reach out, no calls or texts since he walked out the day before, but neither had you. You didn't know what to say, and it wasn't for lack of trying, but every time your finger hovered over his contact you froze, what if he didn't want to speak to you? The Singapore Grand Prix was a difficult race in its essence, it was held at night in blistering heat and it was dangerous if the driver couldn't command their full focus, so the idea of distracting him before he raced left a pit in your stomach.

You were brought out of your thoughts when your phone finally lit up, the screen coming to life with a feint buzz, heart leaping into your throat you scrambled to open it, hoping for a message from him, but it was instead from Lando, one of Carlos' closest friends on the grid. His message was simple, a brief 'saw this on twitter' followed by a video.

Opening the attachment you were met with an edit, clearly made by a fan, of moments that the media and other fans had caught in your relationship. Clips and photos from the last three years of you and Carlos strung together in a video that captured the story of you both, from early days to the many races that you were in attendance for, snippets from interviews where the other was mentioned to the photo that had announced your engagement to the world. Every public moment of your love captured in a two minute video that had you smiling and filled with warmth.

The song took three days from start to finish, your extensive training in as many instruments as you could get your hands on let you compose the piece in record time, and the final product sat nestled in your phone as you boarded the flight to Singapore, the sixteen hour flight let you catch up on the sleep you had lost and when you landed on Sunday evening you were an hour away from the start of the race, you wouldn't make it to the track before Carlos was in the car but the audio file was sent as you settled into a taxi.

When you reached the paddock the race was well underway and a staff member from Ferrari waited at the gates with your pass. There were 10 laps to go when you finally made it to the garage, Alexandra waving you over as you both watched your boys in the final stint of the race, when the checker flag waved to signal the end of the race you accompanied the rest of the crew out to the parc ferme barriers, Max, George and Lando settled into their podium spaces and between them you could see him.

Your eyes met, and the world stopped.

As he jogged over the crew around you began their congratulations for his P4 finish, but your eyes never left his, not until he reached you and his lips crashed onto your own. The frozen world around you began to speed up, lights brighter and sounds louder as you poured you entire being into the kiss.

"mi para siempre" were the words that he mumbled, breaking the kiss with your foreheads pressed together like if you were to separate the world would end.

Couples fight, you and Carlos fought, once, and never again.

And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more

Daniel Riccardo

- Enchanted - Taylor Swift

It was official, you had finally lost your mind.

"I hope you guys are enjoying the show tonight" you spoke into the mic as the stadium crowd cried out in deafening screams, your usual tour costume had been swapped out for the most gorgeous purple gown of your dreams, this entire section of the show was brand new to debut tonight and close out your Sydney show. A new song that had never been heard by the crowd, or by the man who stood with your friends and family in the VIP tent.

You and Daniel had been friends for as long as either of you could remember. Attached by the hip all your lives you were best friends, well, you were his best friend, you were madly in love with him, which was inconvenient.

As the crowd died down you continued "It's so special to be back in Australia, this has been a pretty epic welcome back to my home so thank you all for coming out tonight." You could feel the love pouring back at you from the crowd, which was giving you courage to do what you were about to do, if this whole thing blew up in your face like fireworks then at least you knew that they would have a new song.

"So I have this song, its a new song that I wrote for my next album but I think that tonight is the perfect night to sing it to you all for the first time." Your eyes bounced between the floor and the section of seats to the left of the stage, where you knew Daniel was watching.

Yep, you had finally gone insane.

"This song was written with someone really special to me in mind, He is someone I have known all my life, and he just so happens to be the person I love most in the world, so I hope you enjoy."

The band played the intro to the song, guitars ringing through the venue which riled the crowd up once again into cheers, there was no going back now.

There I was again tonight Forcing laughter, faking smiles Same old tired, lonely place Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy Vanished when I saw your face All I can say is, it was enchanting to meet you

Thousands of lights began to erupt around the stadium, looking like the fireflies that you and Danny used to chase in the summer. This song contained your entire being, all of your feelings, memories, and dreams condensed into six minutes. Years of neighbouring desks in school, sneaking out to watch the stars, lounging on the sofa in his garage while he fiddled with his kart. It spanned all the cities that you followed him to, watching him race, every victory and every loss, different formula categories and varying teams over the years as he made a name for himself. All the years of talent shows and sleepless nights on porches with your guitar and your notebook, to the sold out shows that led you to tonight. Every single moment shared with him.

This is me praying that This was the very first page Not where the story line ends My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon I was enchanted to meet you

The consequences of your extremely public declaration of your feelings were glaringly obvious, it could all go horribly wrong. You knew that Daniel wouldn't exit your life if he didn't feel the same, but no matter the outcome, either he returned your feelings or you just publicly humiliated yourself on stage and you weren't entirely sure that you could live with the rejection that you would face if he didn't love you the way you wanted to be loved by him.

Daniel Riccardo held a tight grasp on your heart and he had the power to shatter it into a million pieces.

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew This night is flawless, don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you

Your voice rang out to a final deafening cheer from the crowd as the lights went dark. The show was over, and now you had to face the music.

As the venue began to empty you paced the length of the backstage area, Daniel always met you back stage after a show if he was in attendance, and as the minutes ticked by and the tulle of your dress brushed the floor with every step dread started to seep into you.

Maybe you made a mistake.

Before you could wish for the earth to swallow you whole pounding footsteps came to a sudden halt behind you. When you turned to see him he looked out of breath, like he ran to get there. His expression was unreadable and a final strike of dread sent a shiver down your spine.

This was a mistake.

Before you could say anything, before you could fumble for the words to explain yourself, make up any excuse to save your friendship from the catastrophic end that your mind was envisioning he marched up to meet you.

The kiss was unexpected, you would have thought you were dreaming but even in your dreams, Daniel never kissed you like that. It lasted what felt like forever and as you both eventually came up for air the unreadable look in his eyes suddenly became glaringly clear.

"I'm not in love with anyone but you."

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

Part two as promised, This one was a lot of fun to write so I hope you enjoy.

Valentines | OP81

Oscar Piastri x Reader

Summary: [STAR-CROSSED LOVERS AU] A love written in the stars, doomed to be lost and reborn, until it finds its way home.

Warning(s): Angst, fluff, death, heartbreak, violence, historical tragedy, reincarnation, loss, heavy emotional themes. Hopeful open ending.

"If I could save time in a bottle, the first thing that I’d like to do, is to save every day ‘til eternity passes away, just to spend them with you.”

13th Century, (before Valentine's day was created)

The night was cool but serene, the kind that held the heavens close to earth.

The stars, bright as scattered diamonds, seemed to hang lower than usual, as if listening to whispered secrets from the mortals below.

On a gentle hillside above the village, Y/N and Oscar lay on a woven blanket. The faint glow from distant lanterns barely touched the edge of the meadow, leaving the two lovers bathed in moonlight and shadow.

Y/N’s gaze was fixed upon the heavens. Her hair, dark as the midnight sky, spilled across the blanket, and her eyes glistened with unshed thoughts. “Do you ever think,” she began softly, “that there is more to this world than we can see? That the stars themselves hold our fate?”

Oscar, lying beside her with one arm tucked beneath his head, turned his face to hers.

His gaze was steady—dark, earnest, and filled with something too vast to name. “I think the stars are envious of us,” he said. “They shine so bright, yet they cannot love as we do.”

Her lips curved into a small, wistful smile. “You are ever the poet, my Oscar”

“And yet my words are unworthy of you.” He took her hand, threading his fingers through hers. “What we have—no words or stars could ever capture it.”

Their wedding was but a few hours away. In the village below, preparations had already begun. Fresh flowers adorned the chapel, bread had been baked, and garlands of ivy hung from every doorway.

Yet there was an unspoken fear lingering between them—a shadow over their joy. Their love, though strong, had drawn the ire of some. Envy was a dangerous thing.

“Do you think the world will ever change?” Y/N asked after a long pause. Her voice was barely more than a breath. “That love will one day be celebrated, not try to be stolen from us?”

Oscar’s grip on her hand tightened. “One day, there will be a day for lovers. A day when the world will honor love itself—no matter the cost.”

Her brow furrowed. “You speak as though such a thing could truly be.”

“It will be.” His gaze never left hers. “And when it comes, our love will be remembered. Even if we are not there to see it.”

Tears welled in her eyes, but she did not let them fall. “Such a promise is a weighty thing, Oscar. Do not speak it unless you mean it.”

“I mean it with all that I am. My darling Y/N.” He leaned forward, his forehead brushing hers, his breath warm against her skin. “Should the world tear us apart, let it be known—our love will endure beyond time. And one day, it will be honored, forever.”

Her tears spilled then, though she smiled through them. “I shall hold you to that, my love. For our forever lives beyond eternity”

“Then hold me tightly,” he whispered. “For the stars may change, but my heart never will.”

They kissed beneath the moon—a kiss filled with promises, hope, and desperation. Yet even the stars, ageless and wise, could not save what was to come.

When the dawn broke, the bells did not ring for a wedding.

They rang for mourning.

_____________________________

Salem Witch trials. February, 1692

The sky was heavy with the weight of storm clouds, as if the heavens themselves mourned the scene below. Smoke curled around the edges of the village square, where a towering pyre stood ready.

The scent of damp wood mixed with something darker—the fear of what was to come.

Y/N was bound at the center of the pyre, her wrists tied cruelly behind her back. Her white shift clung to her skin, torn and streaked with mud. Despite everything, she held her head high.

Her gaze swept over the crowd, but she found no mercy in their eyes. Only fear and hatred, fed by lies and jealousy.

And then she saw him.

Oscar.

Her Oscar.

He stood at the edge of the crowd, held back by two guards. His dark tunic was torn at the collar, and his knuckles were bloodied from struggling.

His eyes—those eyes that had always looked at her with such tenderness—were now wild with desperation.

“Let her go!” His voice was raw, filled with a grief too large for his body to contain. “You know she’s innocent!”

No one moved. The villagers, once neighbors and friends, now turned their faces away.

The elder stepped forward, his voice booming across the square. “This woman has bewitched our men, cursed our land, and threatened our very souls. By the law of God and man, she is condemned.”

Oscar surged forward, but the guards yanked him back. “No! She has done none of those things! You know this is a lie!” He looked to the man standing smugly by the elder—a former suitor of Y/N’s, whose jealousy had poisoned the entire village. His lips curled into a cruel smile.

Y/N’s throat tightened, but she refused to let tears fall. If she was to die, she would not give them the satisfaction of her fear.

The elder turned to her. “Do you have any final words before you meet your fate?”

Y/N’s voice, when it came, was steady and clear. “I have never cursed you. I have only ever loved.” Her eyes softened as they found Oscar’s. "And I will love still.”

Oscar’s knees buckled. His hands trembled as he reached toward her, though the distance between them was too great. “No,” he whispered, his voice breaking. “Don’t say goodbye. Not like this.”

“I’m not saying goodbye.” Her lips curved into the smallest, saddest smile. “You promised me, remember? Our love will endure.”

“And I will keep that promise,” he swore. “I’ll find a way, Y/N. I’ll save you. Just hold on a little longer—”

The elder gave a signal. The executioner stepped forward, a lit torch in his hand.

“No!” Oscar’s scream tore through the square.

He fought with every ounce of strength he had, but the guards held firm.

The first flame touched the base of the pyre. The fire was small at first, but it grew quickly, crackling as it devoured the wood. Smoke rose in thick tendrils, curling around Y/N like a shroud.

Oscar’s struggles turned frantic. “Stop it! Stop! You’re killing her!” His voice broke on the last word, shattered beyond repair.

Y/N felt the heat licking at her feet, but she forced herself to stay calm. In her mind, she was no longer here. She was with Oscar, lying on a blanket beneath the stars. The sky was endless, and the world was kind.

But the fire did not care for dreams.

The rose behind her ear—the one Oscar had tucked there just last night—caught the first ember. It burned slowly, its petals blackening before curling into ash.

Oscar saw it happen. Something inside him snapped. He fell to his knees, his strength gone. His hands dug into the dirt as if he could anchor himself there, in that moment, with her.

“You promised me!” he cried, tears streaming down his face. “You said we would have forever!”

Y/N’s eyes met his one last time through the smoke and flames. Her lips moved, though no sound escaped.

Forever lives beyond fire.

The flames consumed her then.

Oscar collapsed. The guards released him, but it did not matter. He was broken.

The crowd began to disperse, their faces drawn with unease. The man who had condemned her lingered for a moment longer before turning away, victorious.

But Oscar remained. Long after the fire had burned itself out, he knelt at the base of the pyre. The ground was cold beneath him, but he did not feel it. All he felt was loss.

In the ashes, a single petal remained—a fragment of the rose. Blackened, but whole. He picked it up with trembling hands, cradling it as if it were the last piece of her.

The wind howled through the empty square, carrying with it the memory of her voice.

One day, their love would prevail. But not today.

Today, love had burned.

_____________________________

Somewhere on the Western Front, February 14, 1917.

The trenches stretched on endlessly, a scar carved into the earth. Mud, tar, blood, and shattered hopes soaked the ground beneath Oscar’s boots. The air was heavy with frost and ash, the horizon swallowed by gray clouds that refused to break.

Yet, for a moment, there was peace.

Oscar sat beneath a makeshift shelter of broken wood and canvas, a small oil lamp flickering beside him. His uniform, frayed and caked in mud, felt too tight across his chest. His hands shook from cold—or perhaps it was the weight of what he was about to write.

In the dim light, he pulled a worn photograph from his breast pocket. It was crumpled from constant handling, the edges soft and frayed. But the image was clear. Y/N’s eyes smiled back at him, the sunlight behind her turning her hair into a golden halo. They had taken the photo the day before he left.

He could still hear her laughter. Still feel her hand slipping into his. He’d kissed her goodbye that morning, swearing that he would return before the war could claim their love.

Now, that promise felt like a dream.

With a deep breath, Oscar placed the photo beside him and opened his letter. The paper was yellowed from age and damp with the trench’s cold, but it would do. His pen hovered above it for a long moment before the words finally came.

My Dearest Love,

Every breath I take is yours. Every sunrise belongs to you. And tonight, beneath this shattered sky, I write to you with one truth: my love has never wavered. It never will.

Today is February 14, my darling Y/N. I imagine you standing by the window, watching the rain fall softly against the glass. You always did love the rain—how it made the world new again. I wonder if you think of me as you watch the storm. If you wonder where I am, if I am safe, if I still carry your heart with me. I do.

He paused, pressing his hand to his chest where his locket rested—a gift from Y/N. Inside was another photo of her and a tiny pressed rose, its petals brittle but intact.

You once told me that love would endure anything. That we would endure anything. I believe you. The world may crumble beneath our feet, but we are unbreakable. I see it in every star, every breeze, every moment I close my eyes. I feel you there.

Oscar swallowed hard. His throat tightened as the memories flooded in. Her laughter. Her touch. Her voice calling him home.

When I return—because I will return—we will live the life we dreamed of. No war, no distance. Just us.

The pen trembled in his hand as he added the final line.

Until that day, I am yours. Forever.

Your Oscar.

He folded the letter carefully, pressing it to his lips before tucking it into an envelope. For a moment, he sat in silence, the weight of the world pressing down on him. But then he reached for his pencil.

On the back of the envelope, he sketched a heart—simple and imperfect, but filled with everything he couldn’t say.

He had just finished when the ground trembled beneath him.

A low rumble echoed across the horizon, growing louder with every second. The peace that had settled over the trenches was gone, replaced by the unmistakable howl of incoming artillery.

“Take cover!” someone shouted.

Oscar barely had time to move.

The first shell hit twenty yards away, sending a spray of dirt and shrapnel into the air. The world erupted in chaos—men shouting, the earth splitting open, smoke and flame consuming everything.

Oscar scrambled to his feet, the letter still clutched in his hand. His mind was a storm of thoughts.

Y/N. I have to send the letter. I have to make it back.

The second explosion was closer.

He stumbled as the blast threw him to the ground. Pain flared in his side, sharp and unforgiving.

Blood soaked through his uniform, but he didn’t notice. His eyes were fixed on the envelope that had slipped from his grasp.

It lay just inches away, next to the photograph of Y/N. Both were stained with mud but still intact. Still whole.

He reached for them, fingers brushing the edge—

The third shell hit.

The force of the explosion shattered the world. Heat and light consumed everything, a deafening roar that drowned out all sound.

When the dust settled, Oscar lay on his back, gasping for air. His ears rang, his vision blurred. Pain radiated through his body, but it was distant—muted, like the world had been placed behind a veil.

Through the haze, he saw it.

The letter.

It lay a few feet away, flames licking at its edges. The photograph was beside it, the image of Y/N already blackening.

“No,” he whispered, his voice barely audible. He tried to crawl toward it, but his limbs refused to obey.

The fire spread quickly. In seconds, the paper was gone—ashes scattered by the wind.

Oscar felt something inside him break.

His vision darkened, but he fought to stay awake. He couldn’t close his eyes. Not yet.

The last thing he saw was the sky above him. The clouds had parted, revealing a single, brilliant star. And for a moment, he thought he heard her voice.

Forever lives beyond fire.

Then everything went dark.

Melbourne, 14th February 2025

Oscar Piastri hated Valentine’s Day.

He hated the gaudy red roses drooping in every florist window, their petals curling from being left in the sun too long.

He hated the plastic-wrapped chocolates that melted before you got home and the relentless couples holding hands as if the world were made just for them.

It was all tacky—a hollow masquerade of love.

Jogging along Melbourne’s Yarra River, he tried to drown it all out. His breath clouded the cool evening air, each inhale measured, each exhale laced with unspoken frustration. The city around him buzzed with life—shops closing for the day, street performers drawing their last crowds—but Oscar barely noticed.

He just wanted the day to end.

The ache had been there for years—a hollow pit in his chest that throbbed every February 14th. He couldn’t explain it, couldn’t name the shape of the sadness that settled over him. It wasn’t tied to anyone or anything in particular. It was just..there.

Why does it feel like I’m missing something?

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting the city in hues of indigo and gold, Oscar turned a corner into a quieter street.

It was almost dark, the streetlamps just starting to flicker to life, their dim halos casting long shadows.

That’s when he saw it.

A scuffle, under the glow of a single streetlamp.

A man—a hulking figure dressed in a dark coat—grabbing a woman’s bag. She struggled, pulling back with all her strength, but the man was relentless.

Oscar didn’t think. He sprinted toward them.

“Hey!” he shouted, the sound echoing through the narrow street.

But before he could reach them, the woman acted.

With a sudden burst of movement, she wrenched free and drove her elbow into the man’s ribs. He staggered back, cursing, but she didn’t stop.

A swift kick to his shin sent him stumbling, and within seconds, he was fleeing into the night.

The woman stayed where she was, leaning against the brick wall. She pressed a hand to her chest, her breath coming fast and shallow.

Oscar slowed, his heart still pounding. “Are you—”

And then he saw her.

The streetlamp’s light fell across her face, illuminating every angle, every shadow. Her hair, wild and wind-tossed, framed her features like a halo.

There was a thin cut on her cheek, a small trail of blood just beginning to dry. Yet she stood tall, unyielding, her dark eyes burning with a fire that seemed both fierce and familiar.

His breath hitched.

There was something about her—something he couldn’t place. A memory just out of reach.

“Are you okay?” he asked, his voice softer now.

She pushed herself off the wall, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face. Despite everything, a grin tugged at her lips. Mischievous. Defiant.

“I’m fine. He just picked the wrong girl tonight.”

Her voice was low and steady, but there was a spark behind it. That fire in her eyes—it was more than defiance. It was something older. Something that had withstood storms. Fires.

Oscar took a slow step forward. The air between them felt charged, electric. “You sure?”

“I’ve had worse,” she said, still smiling. But as she looked at him, her grin faltered—just for a second. Her gaze softened, confusion flickering behind her eyes.

Oscar felt it too. That ache in his chest—the one he couldn’t name—tightened. His hand reached out before he even realized it, fingers brushing against hers.

The moment their hands touched, the world shifted.

A sudden warmth shot through him, racing up his arm and spreading through his chest. It wasn’t painful—it was a spark, a pulse, a memory. Something he couldn’t explain but felt. And it wasn’t just him.

She froze too, her eyes widening as if she’d just seen a ghost.

For a moment, the world fell away.

And then, unbidden, a phrase whispered through his mind.

Forever lives beyond fire.

Her expression changed. Her breath hitched, her hand tightening around his—just slightly. And in the dim light, he noticed something he hadn’t before.

A rose.

It was tucked behind her ear, half-hidden beneath her dark hair. Its petals were deep red, velvet-soft, but the edges were singed. Blackened, as if it had been touched by fire long ago but refused to wither.

He couldn’t look away.

She took a step closer, their hands still intertwined. Her eyes searched his, as if she too were on the edge of remembering something just out of reach.

Finally, she broke the silence. “What’s your name?”

“Oscar,” he said softly..

Her lips curved into a small, knowing smile. “Y/N.”

There it was again—that spark. That connection.

And as they stood beneath the streetlamp’s flickering light, Oscar felt something shift inside him. The ache that had haunted him for years didn’t disappear entirely, but it softened.

For the first time, Valentine’s Day didn’t feel so hollow. For the first time, it felt like the beginning of something good.
