    Summary

    Summary

    In a season unlike any other, not one, not two, but five rookies crash-land into Formula 1, throwing the grid into beautiful (and ridiculous) chaos.

    The veterans are amused, the mid-gen drivers are having an identity crisis, Charles is far too pleased with himself, and the rookies? Slightly terrified, and, somehow, convinced that Max Verstappen is the key to survival.

    Max didn’t ask for this. He didn’t mean to adopt five rookies. And he definitely didn’t sign up to be the father figure to a group of overly polite rookies who stare at him like he holds the answers to the universe.
    But here we are. Max knows he doesn’t stand a chance.
    And, well… he might just care more than he’s ready to admit.

    OR:

    When Max Verstappen became a four-time world champion, he didn’t think “dad” would be the next title.

    Summary

    Charles never imagined he'd be desperate enough to accept a job as a governess for a wealthy pack’s pups, but with his little brother Ollie depending on him, he has no choice. Standing at the doorstep of the Vettel-Räikkönen mansion, he swallows his nerves and introduces himself, knowing that this opportunity could mean survival—not just for him, but for Ollie too.

    Summary

    Ten years.

    2025 marks an official decade of Max Verstappen driving in Formula One, and after the near-disaster that 2024 seemed to be, the break was much needed. Max adjusted his glasses, a sigh already passing his lips as he adjusted himself on the couch, legs thrown onto Charles’ lap like they belonged there – they did.
    “Ah, yes, Cheri, make yourself at home,” his boyfriend says jokingly, Charles’ hand coming to rest on the bones of Max’s ankle, the warmth of him grounding and comforting. Home.
    “I deserve it, I’m practically an old man now, plus all the karting we did as kids? I’m surprised I’ve survived this long.” Max says, settling himself further into the plush couch, Jimmy and Sassy lounging next to them.
    Charles laughs at him, a golden and crisp sound, “How in the world did you manage to make it?”

    Or
    A collection of the rules and guidelines Max Verstappen had to live by to stay alive on the F1 Grid.

    Summary

    Max Verstappen entered the F1 world too early in the eyes of many. A reckless, dangerous driver, the others are slow to welcome him, instead shunning and ignoring the warning signs that blatantly flash bright. Even the media casts a shadow over the brilliance that the young boy holds inside. As his early years continue on, the grid will learn the hard way just how much pressure Max is under, and will be pressed to try and salvage anything they can before it's too late.

    Summary

    His hand shook as he gripped the edge of the stone countertop, leaning into the mirror as if it could offer him any answer that didn't end with a syringe full of naloxone, someone’s hands compressing his sternum until his ribs snapped, and eventually—maybe not tonight, maybe not for years, or maybe tomorrow— a body bag.
    He stared at his own face, the tiredness in his eyes, the way his jaw bunched, the pale ridges of his collarbone already blooming red where he'd drummed it raw and bruised.

    He looked like a man halfway to a confession. He looked like a man about to make a mistake.
    He looked like a man who hadn’t decided if he wanted to survive the fallout.

    -=-

    Extra scene from 'Of Me and You'. Should be able to be read alone if you don't mind being dropped straight into the drama XD

    feat. having too many choices, needing the choice and making a choice (even if only for tonight).

    Summary

    Max Verstappen is new in the grid.

    Max doesn’t want to go to his hotel room. He knew what was waiting for him.
    When Max arrived in his room Jos was already there. Waiting. He didn't look up “That's what you call a race?” Jos hissed “You couldn't even make it to the finish.” He opened his mouth to explain- the engine, the smoke, the failure that had nothing to do with him-But Jos was already moving.
    A sharp cuff to the side of the head sent Max recoiling, more from the shock than pain. It wasn't hard. Not yet. But it was enough. "Sainz beat you. Maybe he is the real talent." Jos turned and left, slamming the door. The teen let out a breath he hadn't realized holding.

    After five minutes his phone rang. A message from Carlos.

    Summary

    Max Verstappen, a Formula One Driver born and broken for the sport, has known many things in his life. But racing? It was practically part of his anatomy, it laced his veins and bloomed in his lungs, it was all he was, all he would ever be. There was nothing that he hadn’t done, nothing that he hadn’t already given up, for this sport.

    The three-time World Champion was no stranger to how harsh their secluded world could be.

    One is the loneliest number there ever was, and even the top step isn’t stranger to the cold.

    An all too familiar darkness tends to consume the raging storm that’s been brewing for years, but the burning sunset might just be his salvation yet.

    Summary

    Max Verstappen was built to win. But under the steel nerves and ruthless consistency lies a boy forged by fire, silence, and fear.
    Charles Leclerc shines in scarlet – on posters, podiums, and screens – but no one sees the bruises beneath the brilliance.
    Their story begins in silence and secrecy, threaded with tension on and off the grid. But when Charles crashes and everything stops, Max is forced to reckon with what he's been too afraid to name.
    A slow-burning journey of healing, secrecy, and love – in the paddock, on the track, and in the hidden corners of their hearts.
    This is not a fairytale. But maybe, just maybe, it can still end in gold.

    Just another group chat fanfic of the F1 grid, featuring old drivers as well!! It will probably be focused on Lestappen but many other relationships will feature as well. There will be a lot of father-son relationships as well (Seb and Charles, Mark and Oscar and more)

    Enjoy!!

    Summary

    Oliver Bearman is dying, technically. It’s not dramatic. Just slow. Quiet. Petal by petal, confession by non-confession, the way all hanahaki deaths go when you love someone who might never love you back. His lungs bloom with the ache of unspoken words, and all of them carry the same name—Charles. Too afraid to ruin the fragile thing they already have, Ollie says nothing.

    A story about found family, emotionally repressed dads, and all the ways love goes unsaid—until it doesn’t. Featuring: floral vomit, BBQ night lore, a very serious bucket, and three people who loved Charles enough to bleed petals for it.
