    Summary

    "Remember these words, Charles!" Max shouted after him, making the Monegasque instinctively pull his head into his shoulders and quicken his pace, breaking into a run, splashing through puddles with his dirty sneakers. "Because one day you’ll carry my surname!"

    Summary

    Max Verstappen was an expert at keeping people at arm's length.

    He'd never been one to form bonds quickly, or to give away his trust without thinking. Care and affection weren't things he gave or took easily.

    How could they be? If anyone knew Max, they knew Jos, and if anyone knew Jos they knew what he'd done.

    Jos Verstappen. Former racing driver and Max Verstappen's father. The person Max could say he hated most without a second thought. And he had every reason to.

    After all, Max hadn't had the greatest of childhoods because of him.

    But something else had happened when he was a child.

    Max had met Charles.

    OR

    Max's secrets eat him alive, Charles is getting fed up with being shut out.

    Summary

    Charles was used to Max's predictability on the track, but he was completely unprepared for the fact that behind closed doors he himself would begin to look for something more than just physical intimacy.

    Summary

    “I’m in love with you.”

    Well, fuck.

    Charles takes a deep breath. He’s let down a lot of people before, but none of them ever meant as much to him as Max does. He thinks he’s always been kind in the past, but as he thinks through all of his I’m sorry, I’m not interested’s and I’m flattered, but I’m not really looking for anything right now’s, he realises that none of it should be said to Max. Max deserves so much better than that.

    “Max, I—” He clenches his jaw again, rubbing his sweaty palm against his jean-clad thigh. “You know I’m straight.”

    Max nods once. “Yeah, I know. Believe me, I feel so fucking stupid.”

    //

    Max confesses he's in love with Charles.

    Charles goes on a journey.

    Summary

    lestappen at its finest honestly
    the first time charles leclerc meets max verstappen, he's trespassing.

    technically.

    in his defense, he's chasing a very small dog.

    what follows is years of friendship, rivalry, love, heartbreak, championships, and the uncomfortable realization that some people never really leave your life—even when you spend years trying to forget them.

    or: charles gets a dog. the dog gets a favorite human. unfortunately, it isn't charles.
    on hiatus till further notice!
