Summary
“Max, listen to me. I’ll only say this once. We were in love. It was great. You were the first great love of my life. But we broke it. I’ve moved on. And for your own sanity, you need to do the same.”
He turned, finally meeting Max’s eyes with devastating gentleness. “I’ll always love you. But I’m not in love with you anymore. You have to accept that. Stop waiting for me to come back. Stop killing yourself on hope. You’ll always have my best wishes, but not my future.”
And with that, Charles walked away. Left Max in the kitchen, shattered, stranded among ghosts of memories that still burned on his lips.
OR
AU where Charles is a popstar/singer and Max is a movie director.
The story follows them after a break up and the journey of second chance, rebuilding, and eventual happy ending.Series

Summary
AU: When pop superstar Charles Leclerc finds himself unceremoniously dumped by his longtime boyfriend, the handsome and successful Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz, his PR team develops the perfect solution to ensure Charles maintain his "pop diva" image: By having him fake date 4-time world champion Max Verstappen who may or may not be Charles's childhood crush.
Charles can't fathom why the handsome and newly single Red Bull driver would even need to engage in a fake relationship . . . but the petty and spiteful part of him can't wait to stick it to Carlos when he's photographed everywhere with a hot new driver.
(And maybe, some tiny little part of Charles just can't stop his heart from fluttering every time those ocean blue eyes look back at him wearing an expression that is frighteningly close to affection.)

Summary
It was 11.00am on a Wednesday morning in Monaco, when Charles Leclerc broke the internet.
Max was passed out on his lounge, doom scrolling through social media when the post comes across his feed.
He almost chokes on his own spit when he sees the text accompanying the tasteful picture of Charles.
Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team is pleased to announce that Charles Leclerc will be driving for the team on a multi-year contract, commencing in 2026.
What the world doesn’t know, but is about to find out— is that Max is moving to Mercedes as well. Except, he had no idea that it was Charles that was going to be his teammate.
Or,
Charles and Max finally get their title fight- but it’s with Mercedes, not Red Bull.

Summary
Max has seen The Crown on Netflix okay? He knows that royals are meant to be aloof, held back from the public, a little bit distant, a lot untouchable if it means keeping them alive and safe and in one piece.
But Charles is nothing like that and it’s making his job ten times more difficult.
Or,
Charles Leclerc is a Prince of Monaco. Max is assigned to be his bodyguard. Somehow, it shouldn’t work, but eventually it does.
The Prince/Bodyguard AU that absolutely nobody asked for.

Summary
The music was like an echo of something Charles had lost, a reminder of an emptiness he had to keep on fighting. It was struggling to do what you’ve always wanted to do, it was seeing the one you had loved the most being kissed by another, it was lonely nights falling asleep on top of the keys.
or; Charles, a talented pianist turned singer-songwriter, struggles to write his debut album while navigating his breakup with F1 world champion Max Verstappen. What's worse is that no one even knew that they were ever together.
