    Summary

    “Interesting. You think you’re hallucinating me?”
    Marc snorts ungracefully, his eyes wet at the corners. Even though Valentino is not real, he doesn’t want to give him the satisfaction of crying, not when he’s caught up in his arms, unable to wriggle himself away.
    “Yeah, of course. The real you – the real Valentino would have never come all this way just to…what, hold me and sing me to sleep? Come on. Be for real, tío.”
    “I wasn’t thinking about singing you to sleep, honestly. I’m quite bad at it, you would laugh at me instead of sleeping.”
    Marc humors the hallucination, sticking his tongue out and blowing something akin to a raspberry. It comes out warped, shallow, but he’s made the effort and that’s – quite a lot, considering that he has spent the past thirty-six hours wallowing in self pity, still and unmoving until all of his joints and muscles screamed and spasmed, forcing him to change positions.

     

    Marc believes he's tripping on his pain meds when Valentino shows up at his door, determined to help him with a particularly vicious fit of insomnia that has been keeping him awake for thirty-six hours straight.

    Summary

    An exploration of growing up with a living legend for a half-brother.

    ---

    His first race was horrible. Well, it could have been worse. At least Luca finished the race. During it, though, he constantly felt like he was in last place. The next race was the same, falling back. It had been humiliating to be overtaken by his brother. Yes, he had much more experience than Luca, but he was supposed to be Vale's legacy. Luca was supposed to be younger, just as prodigal and talented. All he had proved was that race was his own inadequacy. The only highlight of his first two races was a good job and a playful slap on his shoulder given to him by Vale. He was ashamed to admit that he'd placed his own hand over the lingering warmth, trying to imagine that it was Vale's instead.

    Summary

    Rain has a way of washing everything away, including all the ways Marc ignores the way his arm aches. When he can't hide it anymore when visiting the ranch, Vale and the academy boys step in to help.

    "Marc was sitting in the bedroom, back against the wall and knees tucked up to his chest. Broad shoulders were rounded, hunched over and making the powerful man look small against the cream colored stone wall. His arms were tucked between his thighs and his torso, hair falling down onto his legs where his forehead sat atop the points of his knees.

    Wavy brown hair now sat draped across his forehead while wide brown eyes stared up at Valentino framed by dark eyelashes. Tan skin and pink lips made Vale’s breath hitch, just as Marc’s beauty always did. But then Marc’s head tilted ever so slightly, bathing his face in the washed out light coming from the windows, the only light in the room. Silver tracked down his cheeks, highlighting the red rimmed eyes and bloodshot white of his eyes. The muscle in his jaw jumped right as he bit down on his lip hard enough that Vale swears he can see blood well up around pearly white teeth.

    Something in Vale’s head was screaming: wrong, wrong, wrong."

    Summary

    Marc Marquez may be the most hexed rider of all time.

    That's what Vale thinks, anyway. It was him who was all but coated in the little pieces of magic, harmless as those ones may have been, in the early parts of his career. It was him who was hit by that vicious one in 2020, the one that led to the current regulations and protections in place.

    So when Luca tells Vale that Marc has been hexed once more, he really isn't too worried. Even when he hears how bad this one is, leagues worse than the one from 2020. He has no intention of going near Marc anyway, and he doesn't even tolerate the man, so really he doesn't care. It has nothing to do with him.

    Right?
