    Summary

    The season was already tense enough, new sponsors, absurd FIA regulations and a paddock full of egos barely contained by fireproof suits. As director of the GPDA, George Russell tries to keep the peace but diplomacy only stretches so far when Max Verstappen is involved. Max unwilling to be a corporate puppet lashes out publicly and personally... and George is always the one cleaning up the mess. Their clashes are sharp, public and frequent. Everyone sees it. No one understands it.

    Kimi Antonelli didn’t ask to witness a psychological power struggle disguised as a rivalry.

    Summary

    George sat up straighter, eyes trained on the hand held out to him. He frowned, brows furrowed in confusion, "Why would I go anywhere with you, Verstappen?' he asked, eyes shifting back up to Max's, suspicious.

    "I'm trying to help you, prick." Max sighed, rolling his eyes.

    "Why?"

    "You need somewhere to hide, and I have a place he'd never check. Besides, I'm bored." Max shrugged, lips quirked up into a mischievous smile. "Come on, princess, have a little fun. You've already been ducking your sponsor duties. Why stop now?"

    or

    George runs into a familiar face at the sponsor event Toto forced him to attended. Shenanigans ensue that leaves them both locked on a balcony.

    Summary

    In Las Vegas, the last thing that George Russell expects to celebrate his victory with is making out with Max Verstappen in the toilet cubicle in some fancy, upscale bathroom. Not only is he prim and proper and straight, but it is Max Verstappen, who is brash and angry and reckless. It still hurts when Max pushes him away and refuses to talk to him afterwards but it’s whatever - not at all like George can’t stop thinking about his stupid face and stupid hands and stupid laugh.

    And then Qatar.

    Qatar happens and all of George’s messy, unnameable emotions are spilled out across the front page of every media outlet and social media profile. His colleagues are making jokes and getting involved, his team principal is stepping up to the mat for him, and all George is really sure about is that he would like to either punch Max Verstappen or kiss Max Verstappen again.

    As the 2024 season draws to a close and the off-season begins, George navigates what identity means to him, his approaches to life and racing, and whether or not there is a place in his life that might suit Max Verstappen, if he is brave enough to choose him.

    Summary

    It must be those last few dregs of complete loyalty to the memory of clear blue eyes and a soft voice that makes Kakashi step down into the street behind a young boy with sunshine hair.

    Or, Kakashi knows he can’t just ignore Naruto’s existence anymore.

    Summary

    With Danzō in control of Konoha and in control of anyone who would oppose him, dark days are ahead for the entire shinobi world. It might come down to Konoha's enemies and its very own set of missing nin to rise against Danzō's cruel reign and set all of his victims free.

    While Naruto and the Sannin are on the hunt for allies in other villages and Sasuke, Itachi and Iruka are slowly taking over Akatsuki from the inside, war is brewing and friends might turn into enemies in a blink of an eye - and enemies might turn into friends, just as well.

    Part II and the conclusion of Reason To Start Over New (must read before getting into this one) \o/
