Or, the story of how Max and Charles got together (told entirely by people who somehow always ended up unwillingly third-wheeling them)

Summary
“Tell your boyfriend he’s not as subtle as he thinks,” Charles mutters, sliding into the seat across from Lando at the McLaren motorhome as if he hasn’t just committed Grand Theft Yogurt from the hospitality fridge.
Lando blinks at him. “I - what? Who? What boyfriend?”
Charles arches one perfect, Monégasque eyebrow, as if Lando is a particularly dumb dog he’s somehow reluctantly fond of.
“You have a type,” Charles says smugly. “Spanish. Dramatic. Drives Ferraris. Sucks at hiding his feelings.”

Summary
The gun enters his life quietly. A whisper. A fantasy.
The world has given it to him. A child-sized revolver tucked into his chest like a secret. One day, he’ll use it; not to hurt anyone, but to protect himself.
At least, that is what he likes to believe.

How (Not) To Third Wheel Lestappen by f1writingbyme, LestappenForever
Fandoms: Formula 1 RPF

Summary
Lance doesn’t know which of his emotions is more overpowering; the secondhand embarrassment he feels at how blatantly obvious they’re being, or the fact that watching Max and Charles in their own little world is actually kind of cute.
He realizes it’s the secondhand embarrassment as he watches Max shamelessly grin at James and proudly explain that he was just talking to Charles.
Lance has to resist the urge to roll his eyes, especially when he notices how Charles is quite literally the embodiment of the heart eyes emoji where he’s standing next to Max for his entire interview. And the beeline Charles makes for Max as soon as he hands the microphone to Lance after his P2 interview is even worse than the heart eyes.
He definitely should have been paying attention to that group chat, Jesus fucking Christ.

OR: There is a WhatsApp support group chat on how to deal with being top 3 with Max and Charles, and this is the tale of different drivers (mostly Checo) suffering at the hands of them. An ongoing fic that will be updated whenever we get content to work with.

Summary
“Every year, she asks if I’m bringing someone home for Christmas. I think she’s worried I’m lonely. And every year, I have to tell her no, which I just know breaks her heart. So I might have said yes this time.”
That draws a surprised laugh from Max, who stares at him with wide eyes. “And you don’t actually have someone to bring home for Christmas, I take it?”
“No,” the Monégasque admits, rubbing at the back of his neck.
“Damn,” Max huffs, sounding both surprised and amused. “You didn’t give her a fake name as well, did you?”
And, well, at least he didn’t technically do that.
“Not exactly.”
“What does that mean?”
Charles lets out a groan and leans his head back against the wall again, staring at the bright Lusail sky.
He takes a deep breath, deciding he’s already told Max too much to back out now, and offers him the kind of honesty he was unable to offer his own mother.
“I might have told her I was bringing you?”

OR: Charles lies about having a boyfriend to bring home for Christmas. That "boyfriend" is Max.

Summary
Ever since Seb left, there’s been a hole in the pack that they haven’t managed to fill. There hasn’t been a pack omega before Seb, and now there’s not one after him either.
Technically, Max should be—he is the oldest omega on the grid, the omega that has been around the longest, but Max has never been part of the pack, and he doesn’t think he’ll ever be.
Or, the rookies think Max is the pack omega. He is not.

Summary
The advanced group is small, immuable. Namjoon’s been returning to the camp every year for the last five years and the new guy is the new first introduction to it since little Jeongguk three years ago.
The addition doesn’t really make sense, according to Namjoon’s calculations. First of all, adding one person will make their group an uneven number which is clearly impractical for table tennis. Their coach will have to play amongst them, which means he won’t be able to watch them as well as they usually do. Namjoon wonders if his father knows it. He doesn’t think he’d be too happy to learn that.
Aside from the number, there is the fact that the guy apparently doesn’t even play in a team, if at all. Namjoon isn’t here for kiddie camp, he’s here to improve. He cannot lose any time playing anyone too easy, even if destroying the guy might make him feel good the first two times. Namjoon is here to meet serious opponents. Namjoon is here to become a champion.
So yes, Namjoon is yet to meet that guy but he already feels really bad about the new year.
