(F1 x Reader | Lando Norris AU | Soulmates + Longing + Fate)

Title: Soulstruck

Chapter 1: The Touch That Waits

In a world where fate leaves a mark, some still walk through life untouched. He was one of them. Lando Norris—fast hands, faster life—had it all. Trophies. Fame. Lovers. But no mark. No spark. No soulmate. Not yet.

She wasn’t waiting. (Y/n) Kairi didn’t have time for fate—not when bills needed paying, not when her younger brother's racing dreams rested on her shoulders. Her hands were tired. Her heart was buried. Love would have to wait.

Until Austria. Until one weekend changed everything. Until their hands brushed in the blur of the paddock. And the mark finally came.

But it doesn’t solve everything. Because fate is crueler than anyone admits. And sometimes, the hardest part isn’t finding your soulmate—it’s figuring out what to do once you do.

——————————————— 💬 "I'm scared." ———————————————

She didn’t believe she deserved it. He didn’t believe it would ever happen. But now, destiny is watching. And neither of them will leave this weekend the same.

📖 A story of quiet sacrifices, lives lived in halves, and the one moment that rewrites it all.

📝 Note from the Author: Soulstruck was inspired by years of reading soulmate tropes, especially the ones that leave a mark when you touch your other half. But I always wondered… what if that mark came at the wrong time? What if love arrived when you least had room for it?

This story explores what it means to belong to someone, not out of obligation, but out of choice. And how sometimes, the ones who wait the longest are the ones who feel it the deepest.

If you love slow burns, fate vs. free will, and a love story that simmers before it sears, this one’s for you.
