    Anyone else a little worried about Charles? He hasn’t posted anywhere in over a week and we all know how chronically online he is.

    [Video description: Charles sits at his piano, back to the camera as he plays drawn out notes across the keys. He sings over the slow melody, vocals raw and emotional as he belts “don’t say that it’s over when it’s barely started.” In the center of the video is black text: ‘false start (unreleased track)’]

    Summary

    “Let’s recap then- You admit that you and Charles Leclerc have been involved in a sexual relationship for the past two years. You describe this as a ‘long-term, exclusive, friends with benefits’ arrangement, in which you estimate you usually sleep with him at least twice a week. Oh, and in your own words, it’s 'complicated'. Does that cover everything you want to tell me Max?”

    “Oh for fuck’s sake- yes, Gemma, that’s everything. Now will you please tell me what the fuck is going on?"

    “I will, but I have one last question...When did you and Charles film the sex tape?”
    .
    .
    or: Max and Charles’ sex tape is leaked to the paddock. The violation of privacy is almost as terrible as the way it forces them to confront their feelings.

    Summary

    “Maybe next week Max will let you win,” Tom jokes.

    Charles chuckles a little, but looks even more uncomfortable than he did before.

    Max, still riding on his anger from Charles admitting Ferrari are upset with him, raises the microphone.

    “That is not funny,” he says, barely restraining himself from unleashing his anger on Tom.

    If he doesn’t put a stop to this now, people will always speculate. They will always wonder: did Max let Charles pass? Did Charles go wide on purpose? Are they going easy on each other? Are they sharing team secrets?

    “What, you think that because I love him that I would just let him pass by me? You do not know anything about our relationship, and you clearly do not know anything about me if you think that I would do this. If I let anybody win, I would not deserve my seat in F1. This joke is stupid, and it is insulting.”

     

    or: following their very public trackside and podium kisses, Max and Charles deal with the consequences of their coming out. They knew things would be difficult; but they didn't really expect the many, many ways it would change their lives.

    “What about you, Charles? Are you dating anyone?”

    Lando hears the scissors pause.

    Looking up at the mirror, Charles is looking anywhere but back at him. Are his cheeks a little pinker than before?

    - -

    Or, all Lando wants is to cultivate his relationship with his new hairdresser Charles, who refuses to tell Lando about his love life. Lando comes up with a master plan: recruit the other drivers to get haircuts and help Lando get more information from Charles so he can get to the bottom of Charles' secret.

    - -

    Or, 4 times Lando got drivers to get relationship details from his hairdresser and 1 time he found out the whole truth.

    “I thought Adriana uninvited you?” Lando asks him, raising an eyebrow.

    Charles shrugs, taking a sip of his scotch.

    “She did,” the Monégasque confirms. “But she’s not the one who invited me.”

    Daniel, for his part, is staring at Charles’ tie.

    “You do realize that wearing red to a wedding means that you fucked the groom?” he points out incredulously.

    Charles flashes him a wide grin.

    “I know.”

    Summary

    “Your name is Charles?”

    “Yeah. Charles Leclerc.”

    They stared at each other. The rumbling of an engine starting sounded from somewhere outside.

    “You really don’t know who I am?”

    Max shook his head wordlessly.

    “So then… back at the bar–”

    “I said the first name that came to mind,” Max said hollowly. “I was hoping that you’d just go along with it.”

    The man–Charles–bit his lip, dropping his eyes to where his fingers were drumming on the countertop. His shoulders began to shake slightly, and, for a second, Max was afraid that he’d burst into tears.

    That wouldn’t be fair. Max was the one who had been drugged and then essentially abducted, even if it was by a well-meaning, apparently famous person. If anyone should be crying, it was definitely him.

    or, Max gets his drink spiked in a club, and rescue comes from an unexpected source.

    Summary

    “How can you leave now?” He is overwhelmed by his anger, choking on it. “Max, what the fuck? You’re about to win your fourth championship!”

    “That is not a given,” Max replies with a raised eyebrow.

    “Please,” Charles waves his hand dismissively. “We both know this is not Lando’s year. You will win and then what? You just fuck off?”

    For a moment they just stare at each other. Then Max’s petulance deflates like a balloon.

    “Did you come here just to fight with me, Charles?”

    “I just don’t understand why you’re doing this,” he says, looking down at Max’s socked feet, hating how his voice wavers at the end.

    Summary

    “Oh my god, he’s going to take out Verstappen.”
    ---
    "Let me make this clear, Sonny,” Leclerc spat his name mockingly, voice dropping lower, his accent becoming thicker, “you’re only on this grid because your friend is an idiot with too much money. You don’t have the skill to be one of us, and so you’ve turned to reckless idiocy as your only strategy. I don’t care what you do in last place, because it’s where you belong and you’re away from everyone else, but if you even think about going after Max again?”
    Leclerc leaned closer, his green eyes blazing as his voice dropped to a cold whisper. “I’m going to make you regret ever coming back here. You think the media hates you now? You think it’s bad now?” He laughed cruelly. “You won’t be able to leave the damn bathroom without being attacked. Your name will be dragged so thoroughly through the mud that no racing team will accept you. You’ll never race again, professionally or recreationally. Anywhere.”

    Or:

    Sonny Hayes thought he had figured out everything in F1, including Max Verstappen. He had not figured out Charles Leclerc, Scuderia Ferrari racing driver.

    He learns that the hard way.

    Charles standing tall on his car, the wings stretched across his race suit shoulders, matching the ones under him in the car. In the background, a somber electronic beat pulses, tension building. A voice murmurs through the track — low, almost menacing: Red Bull gives you wings.

     

    In what could only be described as a crisis of faith, Charles leaves Ferrari.

    In that exact moment, all Charles wants to do is grab a hold of the front of Max’s stupid Red Bull polo and pull him into a kiss. He’s just about to do it, too, when a pen comes flying out of fucking nowhere, hitting Max smack dab in the face.

    It brings them both out of their little bubble, and Charles turns to see Lando standing a good distance away from them, already in the process of yeeting another pen in their direction. Charles reaches out to catch it before it can hit Max again, putting his reflexes to good use. Next to Lando, Carlos nods his approval at the catch.

    “Lando, what the hell?”

    ---

    OR: Keeping Charles and Max from accidentally outing themselves to the whole world is becoming a full-time job. and Lando decides to enlist the entire grid to help him out.

    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.
