Shot at to that mighty podium.

My Top Ten in no particular order

You’re always my reminder by @evilgustofwind

Gax/russtappen body swap au. My current favorite fanfic. I love all of these author's works, she writes in a way that is indescribable and I will never stop wanting to read her writing, she is also an incredibly kind person. If there's one fic that I would want anyone to read, it would be this one.

zero cycle by @evilgustofwind

Landoscar minecraft speedrun competition au with faceless oscar. I'm not usually a fan of landoscar, so I am more grateful that I decided to give this one a chance because the characterization in this fic could not be better. I fall in love with the author's writing with every chapter I read. Also this fic made me more attracted to Oscar Piastri as if that was somehow possible. There's still one more chapter to go and god I cannot wait.

family matters by @evilgustofwind

If you can't tell, I love this author. This is a gax heist au with background landoscar and strollonso. I have read this fic three times (and it is a LONG one) and I will never get over how spectacular of a story this is. A quote from my comment that I think sums up how I feel about this fic: "The different perspectives, the way you describe emotions, the way you bring characters together and create art out of words. I have not experienced something like this in so long, I fell in love with every single character." Atp it's not even a fic, it's a novel.

Circuit of Love by @lestapiastrisgirl

Lestappiastri 2025 season au. Basically just lestappiastri through the entire 2025 season, I stuck with this through the entire season which was actually really fun despite the angst. This was the fic and author the introduced me to my fav poly ship in f1. Please go read her works, I will treasure this fic forever.

what died didn’t stay dead by @oscarinnaa

Carcar/landoscar Oscar can see dead people and Carlos is dead. The most I've ever cried over a fic, genuinely tore me apart and I couldn't think at all after finishing. Please be careful, this was actually dangerous to read for me. TW: death.

the nutcracker suite by @its-all-papaya

Landoscar ballet au. I'm not sure what to say but this fic hit a part of me I didn't realize was there, as someone who used to be a dancer, this was filled with nostalgia, remembrance, as well as so much love and heartbreak. I plan on rereading this every Christmas and crying.

grapefruit mignonette by slapshots on ao3

Lestappen chef au. The only lestappen fic on here which is surprising for me considering how much I love them. It's so so good. All the characters, all of the business and restaurant talk that I didn't completely undertand, every single element of this fic came together so well, exactly like a delicious meal. A must read.

i was unable to find their tumblr, if anyone knows it pls lmk

The fitting space between the both of you by @heysudokustar

Pianortrell. With the amount that I say I don't like landoscar there sure are a lot of landoscar fics on here. I just realized that I really like this group together and the author writes it remarkably well.

unrequited love (& other cliches) by @piastryverse

Lestappiastri with toxic landoscar, norstappen, and charlando. I am obsessed with this fic and the way the author does each perspective. Charles' perspective and the astronomy is probably my favorite element I've ever read in fic. This is a series with a bunch of works within the series and the way they blend together is so satisfying. Probably not for Lando fans fyi.

Tough to be Tender by @lealu

Journalist and ao3 writers gax au. When I tell you I could probably read this 100 times over and never get tired of it, that's the truth. It's an amazing commentary on the way ao3 authors work and interact and I found it such a beautiful read in all elements. Just please, please, please read it, I cannot praise it enough.

Honorable Mentions:

Household Benefits by @rsstppn - The Proposal gax au. The Proposal is one of my fav romcoms so I couldn't not shout this out.

Soften the Edges by @f1verdreams - A series of fluffy gax one shots that had me giggling and kicking my feet.

Lastly, I don't have any of these authors fics in my list, but I will always hype them up either because they are my friends, I have read and loved a couple of their fics, or both. Please go support them, they are amazing authors!!

fuck it im posting a wip sketch

i tried to include as many oscar ships in this list as possible.

holy grail: lestappiastri, carcar, maxcar, choscar, loscar and oscmark. i feel like this tier is self-explanatory if you follow my blog

criminally underrated: pialbon, geoscar, liscar, osceban. pialbon is also holy grail but no one talks about them so they had to go in this tier. osceban's here for their friendship more than anything.

i've read some banger fics about them: oscthur, landoscar, zhouscar, piastrell. honestly i've semi gotten on the piastrell train solely because of @darkisms ficlets/posts about them.

love this (platonic): piajar, ricciastri, vestri, shwartstri, pierscar, piastas. we need to talk a lot more about how much isack hero worships/looks up to oscar. the way he talked about him in his rookie season was so sweet!

love this (familial): gabscar, piastella, pialonso, sebscar, bearstri, tomscar. i have an agenda and that agenda is that gabi is oscar's son. seb is oscar's bio dad and nando is the dad that stepped up and no i will not accept criticism on this.

no thoughts but i could be convinced: oscturi, lewscar, jackscar, pedroscar. actually i want someone to indoctrinate me with lewscar and oscturi i just don’t know enough about their lore/crumbs.

not for me: pianelli, hulkstri, colapinstri, lanscar, chescar. i've said before i just can't get behind pianelli because to me kimi is a child. i almost put them in the familial tier though because i do like the idea of little brother!kimi.
