    Summary

    Max Verstappen, a multi-time world champion, shocks the racing world by announcing his retirement. Charles Leclerc is furious, storming into Max’s home demanding answers.

    “What happened to racing together for the next 15-20 years?!” Charles doesn’t even know why he's so upset—he only knows something feels wrong. Max, a little perplexed but calm as ever, simply offers, “Drive for Red Bull.”

    Charles is stunned, the anger momentarily forgotten. “I don’t want to race for Red Bull if you’re not there.”

    Max’s response? A cryptic, “Who says I wouldn’t be?”

    Completely thrown off, Charles snaps, “You’re confusing me, mate!”

    Max’s grin widens. “You want to win, right?”

    Charles scowls. “Yes, but with Ferrari—and against you.”

    Max shrugs. “That’s not gonna happen. Even Lewis couldn’t get his 8th in a Ferrari. But you could win with me.”

    “Stop talking in riddles, Max!”

    Max steps closer, lowering his voice. “Race for Red Bull, and I’ll be your engineer.”

    Now it’s Charles who’s speechless.

    Summary

    Charles standing tall on his car, the wings stretched across his race suit shoulders, matching the ones under him in the car. In the background, a somber electronic beat pulses, tension building. A voice murmurs through the track — low, almost menacing: Red Bull gives you wings.

     

    In what could only be described as a crisis of faith, Charles leaves Ferrari.

    Summary

    “What have you done?” Max asked, sighing.

    “So basically I was meant to be doing an interview for the new channel…” Ah, yes, Lando’s new ‘Chicken shop date thing’ that seems to have blown up for some reason. Whether it be Lando’s failed attempts at flirting or the celebrities that appear, Max doesn’t know.

    “I’m meant to be interviewing another person today, but I may or may not have double-booked and have also arranged to go to another PR event,” Lando said guiltily, "I was wondering if you’d be willing to take my place?”

    Inspired by Amelia Dimoldenberg's Chicken Shop Date series, except Lestappen?

    Summary

    He couldn’t keep doing this.

    Every single weekend since Canada, it was the same excuse. Fred played the blame game in every interview and continued to pretend in the debrief that they, as a team, would come back stronger. And here he is, getting out of the car after finishing P-Fucking-14.

    OR

    How another shit weekend, and a breakdown outside a motorhome that apparently wasn’t his, leads to Charles life changing forever.

    For better or for worse….

    Summary

    "He’s a damn child. He doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about,” Jos spits, stabbing a finger at the conference table like it’s Charles himself.

    Max sits, arms crossed, one knee bouncing under the table, eyes fixed somewhere in the middle distance.

    Max Verstappen has spent his life fighting. For wins, for titles. Now, with two world championships under his belt, he’s fighting for his third against a new rival: rookie prodigy Charles Leclerc.

    Summary

    Charles is laying on someone’s chest, who is not Alexandra.

    When he tries to wiggle himself free and get a better look at whatever is going on, a strong arm pulls him back against the muscular chest.

    “Go back to sleep, schat.” Murmurs a voice next to his ear, which gives him goosebumps. Then Charles eyes widen.

    The voice belongs to the only and only Max Verstappen.

     

    Or, the one where Charles somehow travels time and learns, what Ferrari did wrong, what he did right and all the other shocking things, that changed over six years.

    Summary

    Victoria is a Roman goddess who personifies victory. She is often depicted as a winged goddess, symbolizing the swift and triumphant nature of victory. The name "Victoria" is derived from the Latin word "victoria," meaning "victory" or "conquest."

    OR: Charles Leclerc has many regrets. But his biggest regret was retiring due to an injury and his age catching up with him, all without a World Championship to his name, disappointing not just himself but everyone who looked up to him.
    Now he has received a second chance, and victory will be his.

    A story told in snippets.

    Summary

    “Maybe next week Max will let you win,” Tom jokes.

    Charles chuckles a little, but looks even more uncomfortable than he did before.

    Max, still riding on his anger from Charles admitting Ferrari are upset with him, raises the microphone.

    “That is not funny,” he says, barely restraining himself from unleashing his anger on Tom.

    If he doesn’t put a stop to this now, people will always speculate. They will always wonder: did Max let Charles pass? Did Charles go wide on purpose? Are they going easy on each other? Are they sharing team secrets?

    “What, you think that because I love him that I would just let him pass by me? You do not know anything about our relationship, and you clearly do not know anything about me if you think that I would do this. If I let anybody win, I would not deserve my seat in F1. This joke is stupid, and it is insulting.”

     

    or: following their very public trackside and podium kisses, Max and Charles deal with the consequences of their coming out. They knew things would be difficult; but they didn't really expect the many, many ways it would change their lives.

    Summary

    Lewis announces that he's retiring. Charles can't stay with Ferrari, not when they don't trust him, not when they've torn him apart time and time again. Looking for a change, he sees an empty Red Bull seat. Even though he knows it's a terrible idea, he can't help but take it. Max has many feelings about this decision.

    Summary

    Kimi gasps the second the alpha walks through the door and Max has to place a comforting hand on the pup’s back to remind him to breathe back out again. Max is not doing much better though, his breath catches for a very different reason to Kimi - Charles is gorgeous. Max already knew that the alpha was good looking - he’s seen the camera pan in on those pretty green eyes and noticed the pink lips with the perfect cupids bow. But that is only a taster of reality. Up close Charles is impossibly beautifully. The tv can’t capture his scent and falls short of capturing his aura. Max feels a purr vibrate in his chest and has to cough to try his best to cover up the sound. 

    or

    Single Parent Omega Max takes his pup Kimi to go and meet his hero Charles Leclerc.

    Summary

    “How can you leave now?” He is overwhelmed by his anger, choking on it. “Max, what the fuck? You’re about to win your fourth championship!”

    “That is not a given,” Max replies with a raised eyebrow.

    “Please,” Charles waves his hand dismissively. “We both know this is not Lando’s year. You will win and then what? You just fuck off?”

    For a moment they just stare at each other. Then Max’s petulance deflates like a balloon.

    “Did you come here just to fight with me, Charles?”

    “I just don’t understand why you’re doing this,” he says, looking down at Max’s socked feet, hating how his voice wavers at the end.

      When u would rather quit than never properly race ur emotional support rival ever again. Or how Max and Charles took “you’re my past, present and future” to new levels. Alternatively, Max comes to the track every weekend asking “ Is somebody gonna match my freak?!” and is disappointed when Charles can’t come play cos of fuckass Ferrari

      “Charles takes a seat to Christian’s left, directly across from Max. Max immediately hooks his ankle around Charles’ under the table. A bond. A promise.

      Their entire careers have been an endless waltz, orbiting one another, lives inextricably entwined. Pushing and pulling, winning and losing. There was only one way their story could have gone.

      Charles had left, for Max. And Max had stayed, for Charles.”

    Summary

    Max truly hates Formula One race weekends.

    Running his own coffee shop isn’t going to make him rich any time soon, but it is enough for the quiet life he so desperately wanted when he ran away from home at fourteen without ever looking back.

    Unfortunately, not even his wonderful friends who were willing to jump onto a sinking ship just to keep Max company as he drowned changed the fact that his week was going to be hell.

    or: in a world where max has tried his very damn best to leave the world of formula one in the past, it comes stumbling back into his life one thursday in august and reels him back in.
