    Summary

    “In the future, you won’t have to be Pierre’s guest,” Charles already knows what Max is going to say, and he braces himself to hear words that shouldn’t even really feel like impact, but always do anyway, “because you’ll be mine.”

    Charles wants to weep. More than anything, he thinks he might want to be Max’s.

    But, that is not something he can ever say.

    Or,

    When Charles was thirteen years-old, he may or may not have fallen for his best friend's brother. Those feelings also may or may not have ever disappeared.

    Summary

    On the drive back to the hotel Max had turned to him, blue eyes fierce and piercing.

    “Promise me you won’t stop being angry. You’re angry because you know what you can do. Use it, control it, let it fuel you. Other people won’t understand but that doesn’t matter, you know what you’re capable of.”

    You and me, he’d seemed to say, we’re the same.

    Charles wonders now how he ever thought Max wouldn’t understand.

     

    Or: Charles leaves Ferrari, tries to win a championship, and learns some things about belonging. All the while, Max is there.

    Summary

    Max stared at Charles’ closed eyes and how they twitched in his sleep. Objectively, Max knew that Charles was probably the most beautiful man he had ever seen. But... this was Charles.

    Charles Leclerc.

    Big, cry-baby Charles.

    Sauber #2 driver Charles.

    When did he decide that Charles The Driver would become Charles The Boyfriend?

    He wishes he could remember.

    OR: The self-indulgent Amnesia AU that nobody asked for. This is my love story to Charles Leclerc, thank you for coming along. Warning: this fic may break you.

    Summary

    “I’m not so drunk that I don’t know what I’m asking you,” Max said.

    Charles swallowed the lump in his throat. “Me either.”

    “So, is that a yes?”

    “Are you sure about this?” Charles asked instead, laughing unbelievably and shaking his head. “This is not something we do, mate.”

    “It could be something we do,” Max said, grinning at him. His fingers flexed on Charles’ hip, and it did something weird to Charles’ brain. When he looked back on this moment later, he would blame Max’s big hand on his hip for what he did next.

    Because for some reason... Charles kissed him.

    He wasn’t sure why.

    OR: the self-indulgent story of how Charles and Max fell in love over winter break 2022, in a classic Enemies to Friends With Benefits to Lovers fic that nobody asked for.

    Summary

    “I don’t know,” He finds himself staring at another picture. Max is laughing brightly, to the point where his eyes are crinkled, and his mother is smiling too. There is a navy cap on her head: it is a Red Bull cap. Max’s Red Bull cap. “It’s just hard to imagine, I think.”

    Pascale looks at him. For a moment it is an odd look. But that quickly melts into a smile. One that is gentle around the eyes, and soft on the mouth. Somehow, it makes Charles feel young again — younger than how he already feels; twenty-one in a world where he is twenty-five.

    “You don’t have to imagine it, mon garçon,” she says quietly. “It has already happened.”

    Or,

    The last thing Charles remembers is the 2019 Austrian Grand Prix.
