Summary
"Cleanliness, Oscar," Lando says like it's common sense, like committing a capital sin is of the same category as the Sunday weather. "It's next to Godliness."
"I know," he responds. The words are pulled from his mouth like Lando has strings tied to the back of his vocal cords connected to keys like pianos and he knows just how to make Oscar sing. He doesn't think knives or scissors would fit down his throat to cut them the way he wishes they could.
"Yeah. I know you know. Wouldn't have said it otherwise."

Summary
Lando attaches the blushy, pouty photo and sends it, then locks his phone and drops it onto the carpet beside him, staring up at the ceiling.
There’s a pause, stretching suspiciously long.
A faint click echoes through the call. Mute. Then unmute again.
“Sorry,” OP says when he comes back, his voice rougher now. “Thought someone was at the door.”
Or: Lando loses an F1 championship and signs up for a charity Minecraft speedrunning tournament to cope with his existential crisis. Turns out his coach, faceless speedrunning champion OP81, might be a bit of a fanboy.

Summary
Lando huffs in spite of himself. “Basically I got him like, this 8-pack of candy-flavored lip balm. And he’s been terrorizing me with it ever since.”
“And by terrorizing you mean …”
“Yes. Kissing. Guessing the flavors. Rating them. An Excel spreadsheet.” Lando hits his head on the wall with each point. “The works.”
OR,
Lando's the one who talks Oscar into getting the 8-pack of candy-flavored Chapstick, but Oscar's the one who's making it entirely his problem.Bookmarked by antsfromupthere

Summary
"Well, you see." Fred says slowly. "I cannot tell you much else. But he will."
Lando’s eyes snap open. "You did not invite your friend who uncontrollably turns into a giant to our fucking WG."
"I didn’t." he answers immediately, and Lando slumps into the chair from sheer relief. "He’s aware that in his… current conditions he shouldn’t travel. He’s not stupid, Lando, just desperate. But I told him about you."
"Me." Lando says flatly.
"Yes, about your research. And he would like to talk to you. See if you can help him figure out what’s going on with him."
"Me." Lando repeats again. "No. Why. Why?"
--
Lando's a folklore geneticist fresh out of his PhD. He bums around his shared flat in Berlin, goes on mental health walks, gets stoned regularly, and tries to convince funding bodies (and himself) that his research is worth supporting.
Oscar is a rising star in the world of motorsports who accidentally discovers himself to be the carrier of a previously unknown, but seemingly very dangerous Gene, which could easily end his career and potentially a few lives.
Fred, Lando's roommate and Oscar's friend, may have a solution to both of their problems.
