Summary
“Charles Leclerc, in the presence of our family and loved ones, will you do me the honor of being mine—to keep and to protect?”
Charles stared at him, horrified. He looked like he was about to throttle Max on the spot.
Max only smiled.
Charles took a step forward to hiss at him to get the hell up—but Max’s gestured behind them. “Everyone’s watching, baby.”
Charles looked between their audience and Max. There they were: his immediate family. Max’s entire family. Some smiling. Some looking outright horrified.
This bastard.
Or fake relationship gone wrong

Summary
Max and Charles have been friends for years, even after Charles left karting because of financial troubles. Lately, Charles has been struggling with finding his footing in their relationship as he sees Max drift farther from him. Winning races, making friends, smiling for the cameras: Max is doing it all on the grid, without Charles.
or
"'When I’m with you, I feel at home. I want to be home. I want that peace and quiet.'
Charles was glad the moonlight hid his blush.
'Oh, Max,' he said softly.
There was nothing else he could say."

Summary
“Wh— what?” Tommy choked out, his voice hoarse from the lack of use all day.
The man rolled his eyes, as if he didn’t just ask a completely impolite question. “I said, do you have any booze?”
Tommy sat still. He reached into his jacket pocket, his hand finding only a plastic pen. Could he stab this man with a plastic pen?
Tommy pulled said piece of plastic out, visibly holding it up. “I have a pen.” Something about the bemused look on the man's face made Tommy click it, and again, repeatedly.
click click click click click click click click—
...
or; Tommy planned on dying. He meets Wilbur instead.

Summary
"Bit strange, the Almighty giving us soulmates, too - us demons, not us-us. Wasn't that the point of the Fall, making 'em miserable down there?" Crawly mused. "Seems counterproductive, assigning perfect lovers."
"She'll have Her reasons." Aziraphale muttered, a little curtly, and, there in the rain, wrapped in the Serpent's wing, he ran his fingers over his mark again.
From the very corner of his eye, he saw Crawly doing the same.
---
Crowley's soul-name reads "Aziraphale".
Aziraphale's does NOT read "Crowley".
This is... suboptimal, to say the least.

Summary
The real problem, Charles knows, is that he still loves Max Verstappen. That he wants everything to do with Max, but nothing to do with racing. But Max and racing are inseparable. It's a dilemma, he supposes.
Or, it's 2037. Charles is retired and owns a bar, cut off from everyone and everything to do with racing. Max is a team principal, if you can believe it. They haven't seen each other in almost a decade, but that's about to change.

[Reaction fic]
It had been around a month since Odysseus' return to Ithaca. Things were almost perfect.
Almost.
Odysseus still refused to say much about his journey. This was not a problem. Penelope and Telemachus were more than willing to wait until he was ready to talk.
However, one morning, during what was supposed to be an ordinary breakfast, the little family, along with Athena and Ctimene were transported into a strange room. Here, they were told that they were going to witness events of the past : Odysseus' journey.

Summary
It was supposed to be a relaxing weekend in Vegas, just party, alcohol and music. Everything went smoothly. That was until George overheard a conversation.
“There was a wedding yesterday.” Nothing unusual, he thought and kept walking to get breakfast. He was nearly there, just one corner and he would see all the tables bursting with unhealthy food.
“It was actually two Formula 1 drivers,” he could almost smell- wait a minute.
What did she just say?

The Chamber of Salazar Slytherin by Sparklingwatermelo
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Harry looks up at the ceiling of his new room, it feels… wrong. The sheer size of the bedroom that was now supposed to be his, looming threateningly around him. It feels more like a cage than the cupboard, with the iron bars on the window and the cat flap and bolts on the door.
The room is completely bare apart from a small single bed and an old wardrobe.
He misses his cupboard. That’s not a sentence he ever thought would cross his mind - but it’s true nonetheless.
He had grown accustomed to it over the years, the tight space had become kind of like a pocket of safety. It’s where they threw him in the aftermath, it’s where he recovers. It gave him the comforting illusion of safety (much like a rabbit would feel hidden away in a burrow believing it is protected even though a predator prowls above ready to dig them out).
This room gives him none of that. It’s big enough so Vernon can come in and terrorise him as much as he pleases and it’s easier than ever for them to simply lock him in here, forget about him, and let him slowly rot away.
It was supposed to be an improvement.
He feels more trapped than ever before.

Summary
There was a loud knocking on the door. All three children were crying for their own reasons and Soap felt as if he’d lose his mind at any moment. It was so overwhelming. Somehow, war felt easier than this. “Leah, give your brother back his toy,” He commands softly, picking up Sophie from her rocker.
Leah yells out, “But I want it!”
“Yes,” Soap says, making his way to the door, “I understand but you snatched it from his hands. You have plenty of other toys you can play with.”
“No! I want this one.”
Alec sobs louder and Soaps head feels like it’s about to explode. Sophie needs to get fed, he’s aware. But right now so much is going on. How the hell did his sister do this?
“Leah-“ He’s cut off as he trips over a Lego set. He starts hopping on one foot, just inches from the door and has to bite his lips to stop himself from cursing. Sophie screams at the top of her lungs.
“I know,” He coos, “I’m sorry. I’ll get you fed in a moment.”
He adjusts her and throws open the door. On the other side is the last person he’d ever expect to see.
—
Or
Soaps sister dies and leaves him her children. Ghost can’t return to work. he shows up on his doorstep, looking for a place to stay.
