Summary
It wasn’t supposed to happen like this.
It was supposed to be planned around his schedule- aligned with winter break, maybe. Or even after he’d retired. He should’ve been with his partner, whoever they were; he’d never dared hope it would be Max. He should’ve been wrapped in their embrace, murmuring hushed words of excitement to one another as they waited for the minutes to pass and a result to show on the test.
They should’ve found out together. Ready. Eager. Full of love.
Instead it was like this: alone, curled on a cold bathroom floor, a painfully impersonal PDF staring at Charles from his phone. The only positivity to be found in the situation was sitting in the results column of the file, neatly slotted next to the word pregnancy.
The email. The result. The loneliness. It was all too much. Charles began to cry once again.
At the top of his screen, a response popped up with impeccable timing.
i told you not to text me.
Alternatively:
Charles is in love with Max. Max is in love with Charles. It really is that complicated, and then it gets worse.
Meanwhile, Lando just wants Oscar to kiss him, and he's not quite sure how to make that happen. -

Summary
Charles is a loyal disciple of Ferrari, but finds his devotion goes unrewarded. That's fine, though- he'll seek absolution elsewhere, in Max.
Max knows there's something wrong with his beloved Charles, but he's not sure what to do about it.
It'd be nice, Max thinks, if they could both ride together.

Summary
The room was dim, the overhead lights off, only a small lamp glowing softly near the bed. Max stopped just inside the doorway.
The room smelt of bitter citrus peels, and the tang of salt. Max's nose crinkles at the scent of distress wafting off of the small figure on the bed.
Charles lay curled slightly on his side, knees drawn in, one arm tucked close to his chest. Too thin. Too still. There was a faint crease between his brows even in sleep, like his body didn’t know how to fully let go anymore. His hair looked limp, his eyes sunken. There were bruises visible on his skin, purple and yellow and green.
His other arm is curled protectively around his abdomen.

Summary
Max Verstappen knows who he is and what he represents to everyone; he has never doubted his masculine power.
But the internet disagrees.
After discovering the hashtag #Lestappen, Max becomes obsessed with a narrative that positions him as Charles Leclerc's submissive "puppy."
Outraged, he decides to investigate what the fans see, only to realize that the silent hierarchy everyone talks about is more real than his pride is willing to admit.

Summary
“You’re my teammate,” Max says aloud. “I want to help. Let me help.” He tries not to let his frustration show, tries to bend it into concern, and he needs Yuki to trust him. Only him. “You’re worrying me.”
Yuki snaps up at that, predictably. His face dissolves, mouth parting, brows lifting. “I’m sorry, Max,” he offers, sweetly and with surprise. Remorse trickles into his voice. “I didn’t mean to.”
Max doesn’t want to lose another teammate. He has a plan to make this one stay. When an alpha on the grid begins courting Yuki, it sends his plan into freefall.

Summary
"Rebecca" is a blue-eyed, curly-haired, twenty-one-year-old, third-year electrical engineering student at Oxford University.
She likes house music, spy thrillers, and going out with her friends. She doesn't mind pet names and likes compliments. But she never—not ever—sends for free.
Oscar is nervous at first, and then he makes three hundred pounds sending a seventy-year-old a picture of his big toe, and he is officially convinced.
OR: Oscar is broke, so he starts catfishing millionaires for easy money. Carlos is one of those millionaires.

Summary
5 times Max watches Alphas try (and fail) to win over the most coveted Omega on the grid (and possibly the world), the track menace himself, Charles Leclerc.
(And 1 time an Alpha succeeds.)
Or the AU where Max and Charles are childhood friends, Charles is trying to find true love, and Max gives Cupid a helping hand to ensure there's only one Alpha left standing. Dates are sabotaged, Charles is wooed, and Max goes incognito (everyone recognizes him).
