    Summary

    To millions of people, Max Verstappen and George Russell are Formula 1 drivers who fight tooth and nail for the championship. But what many people don’t know is that they first crossed paths as kids sharing a karting podium, only for different racing paths to tear them apart. Years later, a reunion on the big stage of Formula 1 brought them back into each other’s orbits. What started as a late-night chat in Spa quickly turned into a deeply passionate, strictly secret romance hidden away from the flashing cameras and relentless paddock pressure.

    Hiding a love that huge under a global microscope is a heavy burden until they finally decide it’s time to throw the script and finally step into the light together.

    or, Max and George’s love story based on a song by Olivia Rodrigo, drop dead.

    Summary

    “There’s more to driving than just keeping the car on track,” Lando says. “Sometimes we know things you don't.”

    “Like what?” Oscar asks, as if he can’t actually believe there might be something Lando knows that he doesn’t

    “Like how the track feels or the tyres or if the suspension starts to feel off?” Lando lists off. “Or we can see what some of the other cars are doing that the cameras don’t pick up. We can help make decisions that you can’t see. Because we feel them. Before your little computer does.”

    “If that’s true,” Oscar starts, drawing out the words in that stupid Australian accent of his. “Then why are you always asking Will for help on the radio?”

    Lando’s actually speechless for a moment.

    Fuck this guy, Lando thinks, glaring at Oscar.

    ----

    Lando's the reigning world champion. Oscar's his new race engineer. They do not work together well. But they have one goal. Make Lando a back-to-back World Champion.

    Cue teambuilding, radio fights, Lando and Daniel fighting for the title and Oscar and Lando learning to be a team.

    Summary

    It was Camp Half-Blood’s worst-kept secret that Max and George were both each other’s greatest enemy and greatest obsession.

    Max has just come back changed from his quest. George just wants to know why his sworn enemy won't let him out of his sight.

    Or 5 times Max cared for George through actions and 1 time they actually managed to tell each other.

    (Also no knowledge of Percy Jackson needed for this)

    Summary

    Max Verstappen has been bitter about the hand life dealt him for as long as he can remember. While his cousins grow up in ancestral estates and lavish mansions, he spends his childhood in a dingy motorhome, enduring the wrath of an abusive father.

    Cunning, charming, and utterly ruthless, Max claws his way out of that life the only way he knows how – through lies, well-played deception, and perfectly executed cons. With a loyal crew of misfits at his side, he’s built an existence on the edge of society. Yet for Max’s insatiable hunger, this quiet life of petty scams isn’t enough. He’s only ever wanted what he believes should be his.

    So he fixes his gaze on his greatest target yet: a heist against his spoiled, undeserving cousins – Lordling Lando Norris and billionaire’s heir Lance Stroll – the perfect marks to finally undo the shitty hand life dealt him.

    Standing in his way is Detective Inspector George Russell, lead investigator with Scotland Yard’s Major Investigation Team – a man with a spotless reputation, a razor-sharp mind to match his own, and a personal history with Max that neither of them can escape.

    Summary

    Sheriff Verstappen wasn’t impressed when he heard about the eccentric new cleric taking over the church—the priest was too pretty for a man, prim and obnoxiously polite for a town crawling with sinners.

    But, when a shocking murder took place upon the priest's arrival, he realized that behind the mask of sanctity lurked sinister secrets, seemingly haunting his own past.

    The question, thus, remained: who will confess first?
