My close long distance friend, calls me Panda 🐼, this completely looks like me in a GIF haha 😄!
This is my energy right now. I'm still stuck in bed with covid-19, being immune compromised, my body is having a rough time fighting off this virus.
My chronic migraines are really bad today. I'm laying in the dark with ice on my head 🫠.
I laid down today expecting to take a thirty minute nap. When I wound up sleeping 💤 for 4 hours 🙃!
Today is not my best day. But I'm going to make the best out of it.
I have my friend texting me, keeping me company. I have my kitty 😺 who has been very cuddly today. ☺️ However her screams are a bit much for my migraine today 😅. I don't know why she likes to scream bloody murder as she talks to you... I have a weird cat. She's very loud!
I have my electric heated blanket, I'm comfortable in bed. I have social media to keep me entertained. My friend may go on Tiktok live later tonight, so I'll be able to watch and talk to him there.
I have yummy soup, all I have to do is heat it up when I'm ready to eat.
My parents are being very kind and are coming in to regularly check on me. 🥰
It may be another uncomfortable day. But I'm not mad about it. My body is taking the time it needs to get over this virus 🦠. And I hope soon I will be back at work.
I hope to do more of these daily GIF life updates.

I Miss You, I’m Sorry
pairings: Taylor Swift x gn!reader (platonic)
Summary: in which you’ve been at everyone of Taylor’s opening shows in the pit since the Fearless tour, but you’re not at the opening of the eras tour
warnings: angst, unspecified chronic illness, reader death, this was supposed to be happy, spelling mistakes, sad Tay.
word count: 1.5k
Tumblr media
You had been to everyone of Taylor Swift’s tours. It was a known fact between the Swifties. So much so that people went go up to you at the beginning of the Reputation Stadium Tour and asked for your autograph.
You and Taylor weren’t necessarily friends, but she was well acquainted with you and how your wear obscure outfits to each show. She often found herself scouring the front rows of each show for a familiar, comforting face.
Many videos had showed how Taylor’s eyes would light up when she saw you and vice versa. How she’d wave giddily, and hold back a laugh at your costume and how you’d bounce up and down, screaming the lyrics louder than anyone else.
You weren’t the first Swiftie, but you had been crowned the biggest Swiftie.
At the end of the Glendale show, you had stayed behind to take a mass amount of photos in your costume. That was the first time you were taken backstage. Part of you thought that you were being kidnapped (three men in all black, looking all emotionless and brooding leading you somewhere dark was suspicious to say the least), but then Taylor was stood in front of you with a wide smile.
Your eyes were wide and your mouth was agape, not to mention that you could hear your heart beating in your ears. “H-Hi?” You squeaked out, afraid that if you spoke too quickly you’d wake from this dream.
“Hi! Y/N, I’m-“
“Taylor-fucking-Swift,” you cut her off with a gasp.
Tears welled up in your eyes. You were supposed to meet her at the Reputation Secret Sessions in New York, but something had come up, so you didn’t get to. Part of you wished this had happened three years ago when you weren’t so weak, but it was happening nonetheless.
“Can i hug you?” Taylor asked.
You nodded rapidly and Taylor leaned forward to wrap her arms around you. You melted into the hug, sniffling softly, “I can die happily now.”
Taylor chuckled, “I missed you at the Secret Sessions,” there was a frown in her voice that made you feel guilty.
“I caught the flu,” You lied, “I didn’t want to make you or anyone else sick. I really wanted to go, though.”
The blonde smiled, still hugging you, “Well, when my next album comes out, I’ll have a super secret session just for you. Since you’re my biggest fan,” She said and there was some truth behind her words.
You had been invited to Taylor’s house to listen to the songs on Lover a few days before the first Lover Secret Session. To say you adored each song (Death By A Thousand Cuts being your favourite) was an understatement.
Taylor didn’t notice how jittery you got when Soon You’ll Get Better was playing. It seemed like you had related especially to that song, whether you were the best friend of the person in the hospital room or you were the person in the hospital room.
Your sister, who was also a big fan of Taylor and had been accompanying you to each tour, had always skipped that song whenever playing the Lover album in order, it hurt.
When Midnights came out, you were practically promised a world tour since the Lover Fest was cancelled due to the global pandemic. That was a hard time Your you and your older sister. As if you weren’t sick enough as it was, you had caught the coronavirus and had been forced into a hospital where your family couldn’t visit you for months.
But it got better. The rerelease of Fearless and the release of Folklore came and some people had spammed your instagram account with the news of finding out that you had helped Taylor write the bonus song. Then not long after, you had been allowed visitors and your sister never left your side again.
Though you were bedridden, you kept a smile on your face. Most people weren’t bothered by your sudden disappearance, it had happened a few times in the past whenever you had gotten sick, because you always came back with a brighter smile.
Then Midnights came out and Taylor announced her Eras tour and TikTok was going wild. Some fans were complaining about the price, some were wondering if you had gotten tickets. That led to people beginning to worry. You had never been gone for two years, and worse, your sister was gone, too.
So, when March 17th rolled up, and Taylor opened the tour with Miss Americana And The Heartbreak Prince, Taylor and her fans searched for you in the crowd. You weren’t there. And the second night in Glendale, you weren’t there either, but your sister was.
And that gave Taylor a little bit of hope. She waved at your sister, who waved back, fiddling with bottom of the top that you wore to the opening of the Fearless tour back in 2009.
At the end of the show, your sister had been led backstage where Taylor had changed and attacked her with a hug. The blonde broke away with a grin, “Hi! How are you? It’s been ages!”
“I’m good, yeah, it has.” Your sister responded, “Life’s been cruel, you know?”
The blonde nodded and looked down, “Where’s?-“
“Y/N told me to give you this,” Your sister held out a diary, making Taylor falter.
“What’s this?” She asked, frowning at the title of it.
Your sister sniffled, “They said- They said that they’re sorry that they couldn’t make it this year, that something came up. They really wanted to be here, Tay.”
The blonde felt her cheeks begin to dampen as your sister continued talking.
“They wrote this when they realised that they wouldn’t-“ A sob tried to claw its way out of your sister’s throat. “M-make it.”
The blonde shook her head.
Whilst the two of you weren’t necessarily friends, you knew each other well enough to know that you didn’t need to label whatever it was going on between the two of you. Your sister’s shoulder’s shook slightly as Taylor took the diary and hugged the woman.
“I’m so sorry,” She apologised profusely. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”
A few days later, It was the Las Vegas shows. And, though Taylor hadn’t quite recovered from the news, she couldn’t just not go and perform. So, swallowing down her tears, she made her way onto the stage and sang like she wasn’t feeling all of these negative emotions.
And when it came to her surprise songs, she was sat at the piano, blinking away her tears. She cleared her throat and looked at her fans with a small smile, “So, uh, How is everybody?”
They began screaming on top of each other, making her chuckle slightly.
“Um, I’m sure you’ve all heard by now, but my good friend, Y/N Y/L/N past away last year. Their- their sister told me after the second show in Glendale and they wrote down a diary, wording every thought that had ever crossed their mind about me. They said- they said if they ever died and we became friends they wouldn’t want me to cry for them because they’re ’no one special,’ but they were probably one of the best people that I have ever met.
“Y/N drew a sketch of what their next outfit to one of my tours would be,” The image went up on the screen, before a series of photos of you at tours, smiling at Taylor and the camera. “I just- I wanted to say that even though we didn’t do labels, you were probably my best friend, Y/N,” She sniffled, “And I love you.”
The chords to your favourite song began and as Taylor tried to keep the lump in her throat down and her tears at bay, and a slideshow that your sister had composed began playing in the background.
Your life played out in front of everyone from beginning to finish, from 1994 to 2022. All twenty eight years. The people in the audience watched as you lost your parents and then yourself.
And then in the end, a photo of you grinning tiredly flashed onto the screen as the song faded out. And just as it ended, your voice sounded through the speakers.
Is this recording? Yeah? I’m going to assume it is. Okay, um, it’s February 21st— Happy Birthday, Joe. Uh, i don’t know what I want to say. I mean, thank you to everyone that has made my life worth living. I mean, at fifteen I wore a stupid outfit to a Taylor Swift concert and now I’m friends with her? It’s kind of sad knowing that I’ll never get to hear Speak Now Taylor’s Version, but oh well.
I’m going to be honest, I’m so scared to die. Every night for the past six months I’ve been scared to fall asleep, knowing that there will be a chance that I don’t wake up. I don’t want to die, I’m terrified. I don’t want to leave my sister alone and I know that she doesn’t want me to know, but she’s been crying herself to sleep since we got the news.
I just want to know if you’ll look after her for me? I’m all she’s got. Thank- thank you. I love you.
There was silence followed by Taylor’s small, ‘I love you, too.’ And then cheers from the crowd. Some people were announcing their admiration for you and some were crying.
“I miss you, Y/N.” Taylor whispered. “I’m sorry for not being there with you.”
What’s your favourite Taylor Swift song?

Notes From the Deathworld Earth: 35. Deathworld
Report on the Planet Known as Earth
Summary: 
Research and analysis indicate that the planet named “Earth” is uninhabitable in its natural state by most life, carbon-based or otherwise. Climate and temperatures vary wildly over the surface of the planet, and none are hospitable to life. The exception is the tropical region around the equator of the planet, which provides easy access to plentiful food and comfortable temperatures. However, even in tropical climates, species evolved on other planets will not be able to live comfortably.
The dominant species on Earth, humans, terraforms their environment to meet their needs. This includes behavior we would expect to see from any highly-advanced species, such as constructing homes for themselves and temperature control. However, humans also construct artificial land, divert the paths of rivers, and genetically engineer plants and animals. Most humans in the modern times live in entirely artificial environments and will never have to interact with Earth in its natural state unless a disaster befalls them.
Humans are generalists that have evolved not to suit their environment, but to be able to survive despite it. They thrive on Earth due to their highly-adaptable minds and bodies, and because they have evolved keen senses to detect common dangers in their environment. Their senses have evolved to detect the smallest intruder on their person or in their homes, to distinguish between friend and foe, and to track their prey while hunting.
Humans are highly dangerous predators, but their methods of hunting vary from the normal behavior we would expect from apex predators. They have no fangs or claws, nor any means of stabbing their prey. Their species learned to hunt using weapons, tools, and traps. And they still rely on these methods today to kill wild game, though most animals they eat now are raised in captivity.
Humans are dangerous because Earth has shaped them to survive on its surface. It has gifted them with violent instincts, uncontrollable emotions, and hearty, sturdy bodies. Their species evolved slowly, facing a thousand small setbacks in their long, strange path to sapience.
In fact, it is estimated that Earth has had many different iterations of "dominant species" over the three and a half billion years life has existed on the planet. And many human scholars believe that their time on the planet is drawing to a close as well. This is one of the many reasons that humans want to leave Earth for the stars.
Proposed Planet Classification Level: 1
Analysis: Level 1 worlds are generally characterized by eight factors:
Multiple deadly diseases endemic to the population
High child mortality rates
Natural predators to dominant species common
Chemical weapons common in native flora and fauna
Limited food supply
Natural instinct for violence in the population
Common-sense paranoia in the population 
Multiple/regular extinction events in the history of the planet.
Earth meets four of the eight criteria outright and the other four humans have either mitigated in some way or may be true for some of the planet but not all of it. We shall proceed to examine each criteria here.
1. Multiple deadly diseases endemic to the population.
Humans suffer from many diseases regularly. More than most species ever have to deal with. Some of the most infectious and most deadly are Coronavirus-2019, a respiratory illness that causes humans to slowly suffocate to death; measles, a virus that can cause swelling in the brain and death; polio, a disease which can paralyze humans to the point they cannot breathe; Ebola, a virus which has an extremely high death rate and causes humans to bleed through every hole on their body including pores on their skin; smallpox, a thankfully extinct disease that caused massive death; and cholera, a disease which causes a human to lose water do rapidly they will die within hours if it is left untreated.
That is not to mention all the countless bacteria and fungi that attack humans on a daily basis. Many of which have evolved so much that they can no longer be treated with antibiotics.
It is the belief of the galactic library that the number of diseases present on Earth is related to criteria 8. Near-total extinction events in Earth's recent history mean that all of the species on the planet are closely genetically related because only a select few species survived each disaster. Human genetic code is shockingly similar to other species. Their closest living relative, the chimpanzee, has a 99.9% identical genetic code, while a common farm animal, the pig, shares 98%. Diseases on Earth can jump species much more easily than on other planets because of these similarities.
2. High Child Mortality Rates
As little as 150 Earth-years ago, up to half of human children died in childhood. Almost a third died within their first year of life. However, in recent times, humans have curbed child mortality from 50% to 4% worldwide. Unsurprisingly, this led to a massive population explosion.
3. Natural Predators to dominant species common.
Humans have hunted most large predators on Earth to extinction or near-extinction, but when they were alive, they did eat humans. Some species, like polar bears, still hunt humans, but for the most part they are remote from population centers.
4. Chemical weapons common in native flora and fauna.
Earth is covered in animals and plants welding chemical weapons. Spiders, small eight-legged creatures, are venomous. Some are dangerous enough to kill animals as large as humans. The same is true of snakes, which are reptiles without legs that crawl on the ground and are found on almost every continent. Meanwhile, many plants are poisonous to eat or dangerous to even touch because they are coated on rash-inducing toxins. Fungi can be fatal to ingest or cause vivid hallucinations that last hours. 
These adaptations are meant to help evade predators or protect the species, but sometimes humans actually enjoy these toxins. Capsaicin, which causes a sensation like pain when ingested, is considered delicious by most humans. And they have genetically modified the plants that produce it in order to produce more.
Similarly, nicotine, which is a poison so strong that a single drop of it placed on the skin could kill the average human, is ingested for pleasure. It is highly addictive for humans, and also highly dangerous even in smaller doses.
5. Limited food supply.
Humans have, in some places at least, completely negated the food shortages typical on Earth through farming. However, in other places, humans still struggle to feed themselves. Food distribution is a challenge, especially since humans are one of those species that assigns monetary value to resources, and it can be very difficult to convince them to provide goods to others out of the goodness of their hearts.
In natural environments, famines occur regularly, and much of the native fauna starves every year. Mostly these animals are low on the food chain and are often hunted and eaten by predators before they die of starvation.
6. Natural instinct for violence in the population.
The exact definition of violence is up for debate here. Humans do possess some violent instincts and can react unpredictably when threatened. However, they do not often attack without provocation.
Provocation, however, can be as small as looking at each other for longer than is absolutely necessary.
So this criteria may be up for debate.
7. Common-sense paranoia in the population.
This criteria is also up for debate. Humans are intensely aware of their surroundings and environments. To the point that some humans in the modern age find their surroundings overwhelming and will deaden themselves to it using earplugs or dark glasses. Even the hint of a threat puts them on edge, and they will remain alert for danger for hours or more after the disturbance seemingly passes. However, they do not believe themselves to be paranoid, only taking the necessary precautions.
Human definitions of paranoia relate to irrationality of the belief of danger. So for a human, thinking one may be being hunted while in the forest is not paranoia, because that may be happening. However, believing one is being followed by a ghost or spirit is paranoia because most humans don’t believe in ghosts. Similarly, a human may be called paranoid if they believe they are being listened to in their own house, but not if they think they are being followed in a large city.
Sometimes, humans will hunt and kill each other. They treat this as an ever-constant and very serious threat.
8. Regular extinction events in the history of the planet.
Earth has experienced at least five mass extinction events. Humans label this occurrence as times when 75% or more of species on Earth go extinct within 2 million Earth-years. Smaller scale extinctions happen much more frequently.
In the last 500 million Earth years, a mass extinction has occurred roughly every 100 million years. Two of these events are theorized to have been caused by changes in life on Earth causing large-scale cooling. Two were caused by massive volcanic activity. And the final event was caused by a meteor strike on the planet.
Humans also believe that they may be experiencing another mass extinction event in present times. They believe that humans are the cause because rapid industrialization and fuel burning has raised global temperatures in the past three hundred years.
Mass extinction events force extreme adaptations from species in order to survive. This alone can explain much of Earth's hostility. Along with the other factors above, this pattern of regular, rapid extinction solidifies Earth’s position as a Deathworld.
Discussion:
This planetary surveyor anticipates confusion and anger from humans when they receive the news of their planet’s classification. They are often very offended by judgements, whether good or bad. Regardless of the logic and long history of the Galactic Library’s classification system, there will be protests from the humans. It is best to ignore their complaints. They will try to convince the galactic community to reclassify or reconsider their planet’s classification, and the galactic library should send other surveyors to give their opinion on Earth, but they should not be influenced by humans’ opinions of their planet.
We must always remember that from the perspective of a young species — Deathworlder, paradise-child, or otherwise — they are the average inhabitant of the universe. They are limited by their perception of normalness.
If you ask a human to tell you about Earth, they will tell you how beautiful their planet is. The skies and seas are blue, the trees are green, the flowers are blooming. They have no idea that when asked the same question, most species will not talk about visual images.
Humans do not know that Chintian’s describe their planet as “Soft, Warm, and scuttling.” They do not know that Udomach call their planet, “The great giver.” They do not know that the Frid describe their planet as “tasting of mushrooms.” They do not know that the Canteron would, once, have described their planet as, “Soaked in the perfume of fruits.”
So humans will protest that Earth is beautiful. They will say it is unmatched in its wonder except by the vast nebulas light years away, giving birth to stars. And they will not understand when we tell them that sight is the least important of all the senses, that beauty is hollow and terrible. Humans will point to the toxic flowers or the stinging insects and say, “See? Have you ever seen something as wondrous as that?” And the only way to teach them that will be to take them to another world, put the bloom of a plant on their tongues, and show them that not every world is covered in bitterness.
The Galactic Library and the many ambassadors to other species in the galaxy have a huge task before them: we must teach humans that they are not average as quickly as possible. Deathworlds are very rare, perhaps rarer than paradises. And both produce peoples who can be very dangerous to others.
Humans are not dangerous unless they believe themselves to be in danger. However, given the state of their home world, humans often think they are in danger. Their threshold for danger is much lower than other peoples'.
There is a real possibility that humans will react violently to the galactic library if we do not approach them carefully. They can be territorial and very protective, and after their war with the Canteron, they will be on high alert.
They also will be claiming ownership of the Canteron war ships. If they have not already declared them their territory, they will have by the time this report is published.
It is critical that we do not steal the Canteron war ships from humans. It is even more critical that we do not allow them to use them without first cleaning and disinfecting them.
Otherwise what happened to the Canteron may happen to others. And then the whole galaxy may come to resemble Earth, and we cannot allow that.
Attached Correspondence:
Dear Librarian:
This is Sandra writing from Acharya's notebook. Please forgive me for using it. Acharya asked me to write this letter for them while they rest.
Acharya asked me to pass this message along: call the Galactic Health and Wellness Coalition, there is a plague. Tell them not to arrest humans, but that all humans should be asked what measures they have taken against parasites and infections.
And as a human, I will tell you this should be done in complete privacy and secrecy, and that some humans will not want to be honest about their health. Some may not even know what the questions are about.
All or almost all of the Canteron are dead. Something killed them before they even reached Earth. It's probably a disease from Earth. All of the Canteron's war ships will have to be quarantined and disinfected. And all of the humans who have come into contact with them will need to be treated for whatever disease this is.
Acharya believes the source of the infection is a human woman named Carrie, a crew member of the Quick Sliver. She spoke to Canteron prisoners for a prolonged period of time after their first battle. 
Carrie also believes she is the source of the infection and is distraught about it. Please make sure that whatever medical staff you send, that they know humans may try to kill themselves when they are extremely upset like she is. She may need to be sedated or restrained.
Also, Acharya’s leg is broken. They won’t tell you themselves, and they didn’t ask me to write that down. But we’re going to need someone who can actually work with the type of implants they have and possibly give them a replacement.
We don’t know what’s going to happen next. Especially since there’s a disease running rampant here. I’m afraid that I or Acharya have been exposed. I think I’d be okay, but I can’t stand the thought of Acharya dying like that.
Please, send help as fast as you can.
Sincerely,
Sandra Wright

Klance Fic Rec
been so busy guys but trying to catch up i promise!!
Tumblr media
I dreamed you were a cosmonaut (of the space between our chairs) by iybms
T | 11K | 1/1 | getting together, flirting, kissing, near death experiences, mutual pining, canon compliant
"You know, you can be a pretty hard guy to find," Lance says, and his steps end at Keith's side, overlooking Orla'an canyon.
"Funny you always say that," Keith remarks, "since you find me, regardless. And," he finally glances at Lance, "…always wearing something weird."
---
Lance comes to Keith when he needs someone to pry him open.
Nameless by AveryScribbles
E | 97.8K | 22/22 | AU college, vampires, soulmates, major character injury, angst with a happy ending, blood drinking, slowburn
Lance McClain was not pale. He enjoyed the sun as much as any other, and though he was often run down or fatigued, this was due to his amounting college work, not his need to sleep upside down. He was everything a vampire wasn't. Oh, except for his constant cravings for blood, and the name in cursive imprinted on his wrist.
Since the name had appeared on Lance's thirteenth birthday, he'd been desperately waiting for the day he'd finally meet his soulmate. And then it finally arrives, delivering a boy that causes everything Lance had fantasized to come crashing down around him. Not only is his mate a human, but he's the kind of human that despises vampires. A hunter named Keith.
But matters of the heart aren't the only thing standing in Lance's way, for a much greater enemy is on the horizon, posing a threat not only to Lance and his family, but to Keith, too. The nameless are coming for them, and soon.

Lance’s smile widens. He leans forward, and the prickling in Keith’s chest gives way to butterflies, fluttering wildly in his stomach, and oh wow has Lance always had this many freckles, has he always had eyelashes that long, has he—
Lance pokes his cheek, right over the Galra mark. Keith blinks.
“I can’t believe you and your mom have matching face tattoos now,” he says, and it’s so fucking dumb, but it’s exactly the kind of dumb thing Keith has longed to hear, and before he knows what he’s doing he’s surging forward, almost knocking Lance back against Red’s paw, and throwing his arms around him.
In which Keith lives on a space whale, goes on a road trip, and (eventually) gets a boyfriend.

Keith reluctantly takes a lead role in an outreach program that forces him outside his comfort zone of solitary work. It would be a lot easier if he and his partner in the endeavor had anything in common.

“Well, there’s really only one option, then.” Lance says as he steps further into the room. At least he looks equally as uncomfortable as Keith feels. At least he seems to know he’s broken their boundaries.
“Really?” Keith grinds out, but his anger is deflating. The stress of the situation is starting to wear on him and he just wants it to be over. “Because as far as I can tell, there are no options.”
“You’ll just have to come home with me.” Lance says and Keith balks. He physically feels the color drain from his face as he whips his head around to meet Lance’s blue eyes. He doesn’t even get the incredulous question off of his tongue before Lance is rushing on to explain. “My family visits Cuba every year at this time and since they closed the borders, they’re stuck there until this is over. So my home is completely empty which means there will be tons of room for you, too! And it’s only a couple of hours away, so we won’t risk getting caught anywhere in the middle. And it’s free.”
-- Or:
The coronavirus shuts down Keith and Lance's college and Keith has no choice but to go into quarantine with Lance.

Lance is usually the first person to befriend new rollerbladers at the skatepark; it's a small community, and he's a friendly guy.
But not this time. This new guy looks the epitome of edgy and unapproachable, and he's stealing all of Shiro's attention.

The little spiritual OCD pixie in my brain: "If you talk about your anxieties, they'll summon the Evil Eye and come true"
2019: *I finally get to a point of opening up to my therapist and talk about my anxieties. Tell her about how I read about a novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan that I'm anxious will develop into a global pandemic*
Now: *I finally get to a point of opening to my new therapist and talk about my anxieties after years of being afraid to because of the 2019 incident. Tell her about my debilitating phobia of driving and how I'm afraid I'll get into an accident. Gradually work on exposure therapy to get to a point of being comfortable behind the wheel*
Today: *Feels confident enough to drive alone for the first time in years........crashes car into fence.*
The little spiritual OCD pixie: "told you so."

take my mind and take my pain

6. Allergies & Tonsillitis
Tumblr media
Summary: Lando’s sick during a race weekend. Naturally, he’s grumpy and stubborn, determined to race no matter what.
Rating: T
Word count: 1,797
Warnings: mentions of vomiting and weight loss.
Notes: original request was Lando suffering with bad allergies and/or a cold during a race weekend, but I changed it a bit because Spain 2022 was right there 🙏🏻
Read on AO3 🧡 | or read below 👇🏼
~
Spain was warm, and not the pleasant Mediterranean vacation warm that he’d be more than happy to bask in on any other day.
It was Friday, his skin was clammy, the air was thick with humidity, and his throat had been sore all fucking day. Practice was annoying and he kept having Jon lecturing him about not rubbing his eyes.
He’d spent a few lovely days with Carlos and his family in Madrid, before flying to Barcelona on Wednesday evening. The Thursday had been fine enough, he’d only had a slight cough and a headache while going about his usual media duties, not serious enough to cause worry. Thursday evening, his eyes had become noticeably more irritated; dry and itchy and he assumed maybe hay fever. Again, nothing worth worrying over. His coronavirus tests had come back negative all week.
It was when he was rudely awoken by Carlos in the early hours of Saturday morning, and found himself covered in sweat, that he realised something was wrong. Carlos bundled him into a lukewarm shower, Lando shivering despite how hot his body was running, then buried him in layers and made him drink electrolytes as he paced the room while on the phone. Lando’s throat was even worse, a noticeable gravel under his voice when he dared to talk.
Jon arrived wearing a face mask and it was only then he realised Carlos was wearing one as well. He’d brought clean sheets and went about stripping and changing the bedding as Lando coughed and sneezed, wincing at the pain.
He had his temperature checked, (a fever but not dangerous), and ushered back to bed, Lando whining when he learned Carlos wouldn’t be allowed to sleep beside him for the rest of the weekend. They were getting a spare bed brought up so they could stay in the same room, just on opposite sides, as there were no more separate rooms available.
He refused to point out that they were literally in Spain, and Carlos could just stay with his family in any of their hotel suites.
Carlos said he would have refused to leave anyway and Lando felt both guilty and comforted by that. Obviously, he didn’t want to pass on whatever he had and ruin Carlos’ home race, but he appreciated not having to suffer and be miserable alone.
Jon handed him some pain meds and an antihistamine, and put more electrolytes in his water bottle, before being satisfied he could leave him to sleep.
The rest of Saturday was fucking grim. He threw up the little food he tried to eat, sweated through his race suits, and felt winded every time he exited the car as it was getting harder to breathe properly whilst he was driving. The worst was probably his eyes, his illness messing with his depth perception, and he knew he was in danger of multiple track limit violations.
The McLaren team doctor was constantly hovering near him, double and triple-checking his reactions, temperature, and hydration levels. Lando hated being fussed over, but if it meant he’d be cleared to race he’d put up with it. Not that he could argue even if he wanted to.
Qualifying was indeed a bit of a shit show.
He was actually doing well, putting a solid lap in to put him through into Q3. Then the issue with his eyes came back to bite him and his lap time was deleted due to track limits, kicking him back to 11th and meaning he wouldn’t join Daniel in the Top 10 shootout. It fucking sucked, he’d been up there despite being so ill and he’d still gone and fucked it. It would make scoring points even harder as it was a track that was difficult to overtake at, even worse for him given how slow the car was in the straights.
When it came to his interviews in the media pen, he hated that the different outlets were expecting him to use his illness as an excuse for his poor performance. His voice was scratchy, he had a tickly cough, and he kept having to wipe his face with a cold towel as his skin seemed to be permanently covered in a sheen of sweat. But he refused to talk about how he was feeling, his mistake at turn 13 had ruined his qualifying and he was solely to blame for that.
He was exhausted come debrief, wearing sunglasses and his hood pulled over his head to block out the oppressive lights, sipping on a hot honey and lemon which was heavenly on his throat, a cold pack wrapped around his neck. Everyone in the room was wearing face masks, and he felt guilty for yet again being sick and making everyone have to rally around him.
He and Carlos watched a movie that night, though it was mostly Carlos watching the movie from his separate bed while Lando fell asleep pretty quickly, muscles aching and throat on fire. It was made a little better by Carlos letting him wear one of his t-shirts, but the effect was ruined somewhat as Lando couldn’t smell his cologne on it.
Waking up Sunday morning, he knew it was going to be horrific. His throat felt like he’d swallowed daggers during the night, he was still covered in sweat, and everything hurt. Carlos had perched on his bed while he moped, but his words didn’t help Lando feel any better.
What the fuck did he mean that he didn’t have to race? Was he mental?
Carlos cleared off pretty quickly after that, and Lando promised himself he’d make it up to him at the driver’s parade. He didn’t mean to be grumpy and mean. He hated he couldn’t even get a hug from anyone. He felt absolutely rotten and knew he was going to struggle.
Was that going to stop him from putting his all into the race? Absolutely fucking not. He could still race with a fever and a sore throat. He and Will had already sorted out a code in case he was unable to talk over the radio at any point during the race. Everything was going to be fine.
The driver’s parade was a fucking mistake.
Not because of Carlos, they’d made up pretty quickly as soon as they’d seen each other. No, it was a mistake because of the fucking heat.
He clambered onto the truck without his comfort hoodie, with an umbrella and sunglasses, with cold packs for his neck and face, and his water bottle full of electrolytes and… whatever else Jon and the doctor had sorted out for him because he couldn’t keep any food down. He sat on the floor because he was too exhausted to stand, and the interviewer took one look at him and left him alone. Carlos, Alex, and George sat beside him and chatted shit to each other, Lando grateful he didn’t have to say anything, saving up every ounce of energy he could for the race.
He threw up again right before heading to the grid, and was granted grace to miss the national anthem and other pre-race commitments as Jon and the doctor were trying to make sure he was hydrated enough to start the race. Lando didn’t usually drink during track sessions, mostly because he’d completely forget, but he’d sworn to himself and his team that he would today.
They’d placed zero expectations on him regarding the race result, but Lando was still setting himself points for a target. If he’d made it to Q3 in qualifying he’d probably be starting at least P8 in front of Daniel, so that was his own personal target.
Points and beating his teammate. Just like any other race weekend.
His voice was already struggling a few laps in, and as the race went on, he felt exhaustion seep into every muscle and bone in his body until it felt like he was driving on pure muscle memory with very little conscious input. He did keep drinking as it helped him stop coughing, but by halfway through the race his voice was gone. Will was as in-sync with him as ever, immediately adapting to talking at him, trusting Lando to respond using the steering wheel.
Thankfully he ended up having a bit of a no-man’s-land race, managing to undercut the cars in front of him due to phenomenal work by his pit stop crew, meaning he was indeed up in the points and in front of Daniel.
A lonely time just going through the motions lap after lap with no threats probably saved his race actually, and as he took the chequered flag and brought his car into parc fermé, he simply sat in his seat for a few minutes, his limbs shaking from the adrenaline, body absolutely sapped of energy. Will asked over the radio if he was okay and Lando clicked one of the buttons, hearing the thanks in response before shutting off the car and slowly going about climbing out.
It was agonising , and he kept having to take breaks to breathe. Daniel ended up coming and helping him out, arm around his waist as they walked to the FIA garage to be weighed.
Lando couldn’t even take his helmet off on his own. He got on the scales with it still on his head, and only after that did Carlos and Jon find him and help him. Even with his helmet and balaclava off, he still felt like he couldn’t breathe properly, and he was dripping with sweat. Carlos gently stroked a hand through his sweaty curls before squeezing his shoulder and letting him know he’d see him later, warning Jon to look after him, before being escorted to the media pen.
Lando exchanged one look at Jon and Harry, his press officer, and he was being hauled off to the medical centre. Harry went back to the McLaren garage to communicate to the team, and Lando leaned heavily against Jon as he was struggling to stay upright. He hadn’t looked at his weight on the paper slip, but he knew it probably wasn’t good.
When they arrived, Lando was immediately seen to by the doctors, stripped of his race suit and fireproofs and sponged down with cold flannels, a drip in his hand to help with rehydration and pain, and Lando let himself drift under as the buzz of activity happened around him.
He’d done his job, delivered points for the team, fought through whatever illness this was and come out on top in the battle with his teammate, and proved he still belonged in his team.
He’d done his job, so now he could let himself be looked after.

Women would need to work for an extra 19 years to retire with the same pension savings as men, according to data from the Pensions Policy Institute.
The research found women retiring at 67 – the new UK state pension age from 2026 – will have saved an average of £69,000, compared with £205,000 for men.
The data, published by the PPI and pensions provider Now: Pensions, suggests that under the current system, in order to close the “gender pension gap” a girl would need to start saving at three years old to retire with the same amount of money as working men.
Career gaps, caring responsibilities, childcare costs and lower earnings all contribute to the disparity.
As automatic enrolment into workplace pensions – where workers are put into a pension scheme into which they and their employer pay – starts at the age of 22, the 19-year gap meant that “by age three, girls are already falling behind boys in their provision for later life”, the researchers claimed.
However, women often live longer than men – on average by about seven years – meaning their retirement pots also need to last longer.
Now: Pensions is calling for the £10,000-a-year earnings threshold for people to be automatically enrolled into a workplace pension to be removed because it excludes many women who hold multiple jobs or work part-time or as freelancers.
The UK state pension age of 66 is set to rise to 67 between 2026 and 2028. From 2044, it is expected to rise to 68. However, research issued earlier this week suggested it would have to rise to 71 for those born after April 1970.
Separate industry figures issued on Wednesday indicated that the estimated amount of money needed to enjoy a “moderate” standard of living in retirement had jumped by £8,000 – or 34% – in a year as a result of the cost of living crisis and changes in behaviour.
The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association has developed the “retirement living standards” to show what life in retirement looks like at three different levels – minimum, moderate and comfortable. Last year it said a single person needed about £12,800 a year to meet the minimum threshold but this year the figure has been put at £14,400.
The new threshold for a moderate standard of living in later life is £31,300 for a single person – up from £23,300 a year ago. To meet the comfortable threshold, the new figure is £43,100 a year for one person – up from £37,300.
The pension provider Scottish Widows said securing a guaranteed annual income of £23,300 for life would require a pension pot of about £500,000 – but securing an income of £31,300 would mean amassing a pension pot of more than £750,000.
The PLSA said its latest research “reflects the price rises that households have faced, particularly in food and energy use”, but also highlighted the increasing importance people placed on spending time with family and friends away from the home, as people’s priorities have changed after the coronavirus pandemic.
