    Summary

    He told Mikey he wouldn't touch another pill for as long as he lived, something he's sure the guy has heard from every passing person who's entered inpatient, sat in those hard unforgiving metal chairs. They probably stopped keeping a tally of how many showed back up again with the same solemn promise as if they forgot they already broke it the first time.

    Addiction is a constant fight, where the opponent learns how to lose more than they'll ever win. Relapse expected, it's just how it goes.

    Frank just has a devastating reason to be so terribly certain he won't.

    In the aftermath of a harsh sober reality, Dr. Frank Langdon returns to The Pitt to face whatever mess he left behind while trying not to fray apart at the seams.

    Summary

    During their years karting together, Max was watched by his fellow peers. Despite his best attempts at hiding the fury he suffered from at the hands of his father, familiar faces had noticed time and time again just what the Dutchman went through. Some wanted to help, some were blinded by their own feelings, and some were too afraid to speak. This is a collection of views from fellow karters, and future F1 companions, of one Max Emilian Verstappen.

    Summary

    *Sequel to Achilles Come Down *

    Max Verstappen has made a name for himself in the F1 world after his first three years on the grid. For some it is in a shining light, for others it is in an aggressive and dangerous way. After his past has slowly come to light, those on the grid are now starting to see the cracks in this boy, and they will do whatever they can to prove that they care and are willing to help. But promises are hard to keep, and with Max's biggest threat looming in the background, it's going to take dedicated work from the others to show that tough love isn't the only way.

    Summary

    Shane concedes to turkey burgers on whole wheat buns the next night, if only because he senses his parents have been talking about his new habits, and he would really rather not explain to them that he plays better when his mind and body are both clear, and these days, anything other than a chalky protein shake sits like an anchor in his stomach.

    or

    It never really goes away.
