Narrative:

Aircraft X cleared to land second in sequence behind aircraft Y. Aircraft Y very slow to land. I initiated a go around in aircraft X immediately after query to ATC about developing situation. I offset to right to allow visual contact with aircraft Y which I was overtaking despite efforts to reduce speed to minimum safe speed. ATC then demanded I offset to left. As I began turn to offset left; aircraft Y executed a go-around which I could see immediately below and to my left. To avoid collision I maintained a right offset despite ATC admonishment to offset left. I followed further ATC instructions to enter right downwind to parallel runway and landed safely.
