    Summary

    Their hearts are fit for home—
    I—a Sparrow—build there
    Sweet of twigs and twine
    My perennial nest.

    -Emily Dickinson, excerpt of '84' with pronouns changed

    Summary

    "Eloise did not dream of white knights on trusty steeds or gallant princes from faraway lands come to whisk her off to a castle that might as well be a jail cell. Once she might have dreamt of a handsome printer’s assistant in a grubby print shop. Once she might have dreamt of the smell of rose water on skin and the sound of a tinkling laugh that delighted in everything she said. Now she dreamed only of freedom."

    In which Eloise is an unsatisfied spinster and travels to Wales to meet a friend.

    Summary

    NORRIS: Are you *eating*?
    PIASTRI: Am I-? Of course not.
    NORRIS: Is it good?
    PIASTRI: Focus, Lando. No other cars around. Leclerc ten seconds behind, slow lap. After Leclerc is Tsunoda, timed lap, Turn 13.
    Let’s do a quick one.
    NORRIS: On it. Bon appetit, Piastri. [static, a gasp] Pastry!

    Or, Oscar is Lando's new race engineer for the 2024 season, and they stumble into a coworkers with benefits situation. And then things just keep getting more and more complicated-- but hey, the season is going pretty well!

    That’s hockey, baby. There’s only three options: you go until you’re a victor, a loser, or dead.
