Summary
“But…” she trails off, taking a deep breath. “… there might be a solution.”
Franco raises an eyebrow. “Solution?” Gwen shifts uncomfortably, pacing a little as she explains. “There’s got to be a bigger story out there for her to not publish the photo, and I think the two of us could give her that.”
Franco’s brows knit together in confusion. “Are you saying what I think you’re saying?” Gwen glances at him, steeling herself. “Well, if you think I’m saying that we should go to her and offer her a photo of the two of us kissing instead, then yes. I am saying exactly what you think I’m saying.”
Franco freezes, his eyes wide as he processed the idea. “You’re crazy,” he mutters under his breath.
Or
A single picture of two people kissing each other escalates into something much deeper than either of them ever expected.

Summary
Two weeks after a bloody negotiation at the Loji, the colonial frontlines turn into a muddy hell for the VOC. Maximillian Van Der Meer, a proud and bratty Dutch officer, finds himself stripped of his gold ranks and dragged into the depths of the Javanese kingdom—not as a political hostage, but as the ultimate, sacred prize of the Commander.
Locked inside the golden pavilion, under the shadow of the war and the scent of jasmine, Maxi’s pride completely crumbles as he is forced into a destiny he never saw coming.

Summary
Max really regretted not taking his lunch break earlier. Or sending Lando at twelve, so it would have been his turn now. Then he wouldn’t have had to deal with seeing his childhood rival again, whom he loathed and hated like the pest, but also found really pretty and funny back in the day, or with the emotions that set free in him.
Or with the fact that Charles didn’t even seem to know who he was anymore…

Summary
At Formula One University, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris live in completely different worlds.
Oscar is a mechanical engineering scholarship student surviving on sleepless nights, part-time jobs, and endless hours in the lab. Quiet, reserved, and constantly exhausted, he’s focused only on graduating without falling apart.
Lando Norris, meanwhile, is the golden boy of university hockey — popular, impulsive, and used to getting everything he wants through charm and talent. But when he fails Philosophical Ethics and risks losing his place on the team, his perfect life begins to unravel.
Desperate, Lando discovers that the only student who got a perfect score on the exam was Oscar Piastri.
What starts as a reluctant arrangement to save Lando’s grades quickly becomes something more. Between study sessions, arguments, and late nights together, Oscar begins to see beyond Lando’s arrogance, while Lando realizes how much Oscar has been carrying alone.
Amid pressure, expectations, and two lives colliding, they discover that letting someone in might be the hardest thing of all.

Summary
“You could fly with me. Not rush.” George glanced at him as Max grabbed his own wrists behind his back. “Take your time. If there’s anything you wanted to do here, first.”
“And how would that sound, Max?” He couldn’t wait for an answer; it might convince him. “ ‘I know we said we’d be going to Brackley as a team to celebrate the win with the whole factory, but I wanted to hang out a little longer, I’ll catch a ride home with Verstappen in a couple hours’ ? “
An eyebrow arched. “A couple hours you think, Russell? Interesting.”
Max and George have known each other for half their lives... vaguely. A chance run-in after Max wins his 4th WDC lights a spark they can't ignore, forcing them to learn how to navigate the noise of the paddock, the chaos outside of it, and the championship fight of the 2025 season, together.
Story basically canon: real world/timeline/relationships, and generally respecting all IRL events that can be noted from news/social media/race weekends.
