Title: "Unless I'm very much mistaken..."
Fandom: RPF - Misc (Formula One Grand Prix)
Characters and/or Pairing(s): Julie (OFC)/Richard (OMC), Ayrton Senna/Alain Prost
Rating: PG
Word Count: 2916
Possible warnings and/or enticements - highlight to view (may contain story spoilers): (skip)Nothing in particular apart from some teen angst. Please leave a comment if you believe anything should be added here
Summary: In the middle of the 1986 Formula One season, a sometime romantic - and ridiculously naive - fifteen year old girl believes she has found her soul mate. Now if only she could actually meet him. A mostly unbelievable fable of second love featuring, in a supporting role, the background pairing of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost.)
Author's Notes: Title taken from the much-quoted catchphrase of legendary British race commentator, Murray Walker. With thanks to Malcolm Folley's 2009 book Senna Versus Prost (although very little from the book was actually incorporated in this story), the usual online sources (wikipedia, youtube, etc), and some dimly remembered in-person encounters. (Note: if Julie - i.e., the OFC - were in fandom, she'd probably be wishing her name was "Mary Sue" so that she could have a little more influence on the events taking place around her. With any luck, she'll grow out of this phase. With even more luck, someday she just might be awesome.)


( Unless I'm very much mistaken... )

Written - before Deathly Hallows - for the Kinda Lush 2006 Challenge, with the prompt "Recipe."

Note for the Australians: the story takes place in Severus's seventh year...in late January. In other words, he just turned 18.

Many thanks to Femme for the beta.

I had intended to write this pre-HBP/DH story for the LJ community Close Contrast's 'Severus and Minerva MiniFest', but life got in the way, as it so often does. However, here - a mere five months later than planned - is the story I would have posted if I had actually written it on time.
