Summary
Daniel can feel his temper coil tighter with every second. He wants Max to ask. Wants him to say it. To look him in the eye and own it. Because maybe, just maybe, if Max did that, Daniel could say no. Could tell him to fuck off. Could finally put this part of his life down and walk away from Formula One and Max Verstappen and all the ghosts that come with both.
Daniel has never been that lucky.
or, Max comes to get permission to have Daniel's racing number, and Daniel gives him it because when has he ever been able to say no to Max?

Summary
'But you should know that I died slow
Running through the halls of your haunted home
And the toughest part is that we both know
What happened to you
Why you're out on your own
Merry Christmas, please don't call''But what if I call
And you pick up the phone?
And I use this holiday to make my way to your ghost
Oh, what if you're lonely
And you know I am too?
And I get the chance to say
"Merry Christmas, I miss you"
I miss you'or the Angsty Christmas Maxiel Special

Summary
Looking back he should have seen it, should have stopped, should have tried to change things. But when he does see it, crystal clear and unavoidable it's already much too late. The weight of the world championship, his first ever one, blinds him the moment he steps out of the car. He should have known when Oscar claps him on the back, tells him he is proud, congratulates him, except Lando just shrugs him off. He will see Oscar during the briefing, no need to hunt him down, tonight is his night. And so he parties, drinks, dances.
But Oscar isn't at the briefing, and Lando is afraid to ask when Zac doesn't mention it. When he discusses next year like nothing is changing. Except Zac brings up words like "second seat" and "new rookie" and Lando looks confused, because he has Oscar right?
Except now anger replaces anything he can think of, and fine, if Oscar wants to throw away what they had then he doesn't care, he is the world champion afterall and Oscar doesnt matter.
or, the story where Oscar leaves to Redbull after Lando wins the 2025 wdc, and Lando pretends that he doesn't care. Because he doesn't, right?

Summary
“Whats the party for? You get another kiddo?”
Max freezes, then his smile drops slightly.
“No. The 2025 championship.”
He says it like a fact, and Daniel feels his heart sink. He hadn't followed Formula one, blocked all the old accounts, but surely he had promised Max he would keep tabs on his stuff. One look around the inside of the room makes him feel even worse. Each wall is plastered with obnoxious ‘2025’ and ‘WDC’ scrawled all over.
“Oh fuck, I- congratulations, I had no idea.”
Max smiles at him, eyes hardening as he speaks again.
“There are drinks in the kitchen.”
Daniel grimaces, reaching out to ruffle Max’s hair.
“Not for me Maxie.”
It's a line that reminds Daniel that he too has changed, and perhaps they have finally become incompatible. Perhaps now he can finally say goodbye.
“Orange juice, not alcohol.”
Or, the fic where Max invites Daniel to his 5th WDC party and Daniel says yes.

Summary
A quick (highly) symbolic drabble of these two, Enjolras is the fox, and Grantaire is the crow.
"The crow will forever admire the fox.
Grantaire will forever admire Enjolras.
In every universe they will die.
In every universe their deaths make no difference."
