Summary
The universe has to be joking, right?
When disaster strikes, there isn't anyone to help. His roommate is halfway across the world, all of his belongings are damp, and the cats haven't stopped yowling for hours now. Their apartment is unlivable, and with none of his friends having the space to accommodate, there's only one person to come to the rescue-- his best friend's brother.
Simple. Easy.
Except he and Max have hated one another since they've met, and now, they're forced to be roommates. Nothing bad can come from this, right?

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, 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
Drunken New Year's Eve in Monaco -- a fresh fall of snow in decades is more of an omen than anyone thinks.
Max Verstappen finds himself on the doorstep of his deceased father's apartment, ghosts and broken dreams haunting the narrative until he cannot breathe, but he slips a postcard through the mailbox of the place that he can't go back to. Not now. Not with the memories that are harbored inside.
'Hey,
I used to live in your apartment. I'm drunk in Monaco, and it's the only address I know.
Happy Holidays,
MV'It feels final, it feels like saying goodbye-- until the door opens.
*Inspired by the 'Hey, I'm drunk in Boston' postcard*

Summary
Sprinting to his very first class of his new subject was not part of Charles' plans. He barely managed to catch his breath when the teacher walked in, his brain already melted, not knowing if he was going to make it to the end.
To make things worse, the guy sitting next to him was an absolute idiot. In just fifteen minutes, he had turned himself into Charles' worst enemy.
The very first thing that came out of Max's mouth was almost like an insult. The second, an accusation.
He was evil, plain and simple.
How was Charles going to survive the semester, he had no idea.Or: a Lestappen rivals to lovers college au, but make it Universidad de Buenos Aires

Summary
Charles lets his gaze wander through the apartment, taking in the details with that quiet curiosity Max knows too well. He stops in front of the trophies lined up on a shelf — the replicas of Max’s championships and the original, gleaming in the center. For a second, admiration flickers across Charles’s face. Max knows that look; he knows Charles wants that feeling someday, and part of him can’t blame him.
Charles turns, and Max sees a quiet smile on his face before it fades. “I, um… I received an invitation. From… The Invitation,” he starts, clearing his throat, and Max notices the nervous way his hands fidget.
“Ah, what an original name. Congratulations?” Max offers, barely containing a smirk.
Charles narrows his eyes, exasperation creeping in. “There’s a catch.”
“Do I even want to know?”
“They also invited you.”
Max’s expression morphs into an exaggerated look of shock, complete with wide eyes and raised brows. “Wow, what a shame, then.”
OR: Max and Charles are invited to appear together on a popular podcast. They have a lot to talk about and a lot of tension building up.

Summary
There are only 10 days and 1 fish left to catch in the biggest fishing competition ever put on. Tensions are as high as the air temperature in the Ozarks where Charles Leclerc is trying to win it all. Unfortunately for him, his childhood rival and most sincere enemy Max Verstappen is the other finalist, and worse, there is only one boat.
As they navigate the twisting waterways of self-growth and trauma, will they be able to overcome the darkness that threatens the competition, and maybe even their very livelihoods?Bookmarked by Christhemantis
