    Summary

    That seems to be the thing that breaks the ice between them; Bucky's never really hung out with Sam before, past being jammed into a too-small car for six hours and then two uncomfortable months in a safehouse trying not to get on each other’s last nerve. Now they’re getting lunch or coffee every few days. Sam falls asleep on Bucky’s couch three more times. Bucky joins him and Steve a couple of times on their morning run.

    He doesn’t notice, is the thing; doesn’t notice how ever since Sam slept on his couch that night he’s been letting Bucky closer bit by bit, that as Bucky’s been wondering about the boundaries and structures of friendship, Sam’s been drawing in.

    Summary

    “I won’t laugh.” Bucky straightens out both his back and his expression and scoots closer, knee colliding with Sam’s own. He keeps it there; it feels hot and solid, even through the kevlar. “C’mon, I promise. Just tell me.”

    Sam turns it over in his head for a long moment. Swallows hard. Rubs his palms across his thighs.

    “Okay,” he says, looking away. “Do you believe in ghosts, man?”

    Bucky laughs, the asshole.

    Sam has been haunted all his life. This is the first time he's ever thought of telling anyone about it.

    Summary

    The grainy pictures are pieced together like a crude comic strip, sketching a poorly thought-out narrative arc that somehow made it onto the front page of every sleazy newspaper.

    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

    “Oh, but you can send me into the barriers?! Fuck you, Hamilton, leave me alone.”

    Lewis gapes at him. “Max, I was penali-”

    “You still won! You still won and nobody criticised you for it because you’re the great Lewis Hamilton, but when I so much as set a foot wrong…”

    “Max, your tyre touched my helmet. I could feel your car on top of my head. You brake tested me. Do you know how dangerous that is?!”

    “AND EVERYONE HATES ME FOR IT! THEY WISH I’D JUST DIED IN SILVERSTONE! LEWIS, YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW IT FEELS WHEN EVERYONE’S ROOTING AGAINST YOU AND WANTS YOU OUT OF THE SPORT, BECAUSE YOU’RE THEIR POSTER CHILD, SO JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!”

    or: Max only joins F1 in 2017 and is subsequently adopted by Lewis Hamilton. Which makes their championship battle all the more difficult for both of them; and both have to cope. One way or another.
