Summary
Shane Hollander had made it his new goal to learn Russian—not just the basics, but to become completely fluent to help when his boyfriend, Ilya Rozanov can’t express himself or his thoughts in English.
He tries all the methods, firing on all cylinders, but one words better than them all: Russian Lullabies.
He wants to make Ilya feel at home—he just doesn’t realize how close he gets.

Summary
The universe has to be joking, right?
When disaster strikes, there isn't anyone to help. His roommate is halfway across the world, all of his belongings are damp, and the cats haven't stopped yowling for hours now. Their apartment is unlivable, and with none of his friends having the space to accommodate, there's only one person to come to the rescue-- his best friend's brother.
Simple. Easy.
Except he and Max have hated one another since they've met, and now, they're forced to be roommates. Nothing bad can come from this, right?

Summary
Ten years.
2025 marks an official decade of Max Verstappen driving in Formula One, and after the near-disaster that 2024 seemed to be, the break was much needed. Max adjusted his glasses, a sigh already passing his lips as he adjusted himself on the couch, legs thrown onto Charles’ lap like they belonged there – they did.
“Ah, yes, Cheri, make yourself at home,” his boyfriend says jokingly, Charles’ hand coming to rest on the bones of Max’s ankle, the warmth of him grounding and comforting. Home.
“I deserve it, I’m practically an old man now, plus all the karting we did as kids? I’m surprised I’ve survived this long.” Max says, settling himself further into the plush couch, Jimmy and Sassy lounging next to them.
Charles laughs at him, a golden and crisp sound, “How in the world did you manage to make it?”Or
A collection of the rules and guidelines Max Verstappen had to live by to stay alive on the F1 Grid. -

Summary
Max Verstappen, a Formula One Driver born and broken for the sport, has known many things in his life. But racing? It was practically part of his anatomy, it laced his veins and bloomed in his lungs, it was all he was, all he would ever be. There was nothing that he hadn’t done, nothing that he hadn’t already given up, for this sport.
The three-time World Champion was no stranger to how harsh their secluded world could be.
One is the loneliest number there ever was, and even the top step isn’t stranger to the cold.
An all too familiar darkness tends to consume the raging storm that’s been brewing for years, but the burning sunset might just be his salvation yet.

Summary
Drunken New Year's Eve in Monaco -- a fresh fall of snow in decades is more of an omen than anyone thinks.
Max Verstappen finds himself on the doorstep of his deceased father's apartment, ghosts and broken dreams haunting the narrative until he cannot breathe, but he slips a postcard through the mailbox of the place that he can't go back to. Not now. Not with the memories that are harbored inside.
'Hey,
I used to live in your apartment. I'm drunk in Monaco, and it's the only address I know.
Happy Holidays,
MV'It feels final, it feels like saying goodbye-- until the door opens.
*Inspired by the 'Hey, I'm drunk in Boston' postcard*

Summary
Charles wakes in a place that is all too familiar, but it is certainly not where he went to bed. There is no generic hotel space around him, no Max beside him, but Charles knows this place. Gentle sunlight streams in through the windows of the caravan, the smell of gasoline and rubber both an assault and a comfort on his senses. Confusion clouds his thoughts and his vision as he desperately looks around, trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
Or
Charles Leclerc is briefly sent back in time, but it isn't the younger version of himself that he ends up finding.

Summary
Max does a challenge that labels some of his fellow drivers as Dutch.
Max laughs, the admin laugh, the media laughs, and the world laughs.
They just don’t know how serious he is.
