Summary
"Charles, what’s up?"
There was a brief pause on the other end, followed by a shaky exhale. "I'm sorry, I know it's late. Or early. I just..." Charles trailed off, his voice strained. "It's Max. He’s gone."
"Gone?" Daniel sat up sharply, "What do you mean 'gone'?"
"From his place in Monaco. He left a note and I can’t read most of it ‘cause it’s in Dutch but it’s bad, Dan. It’s bad and I don’t know who to call."-=-
Max's never had to cope before, it's just something that's always happened. Until it doesn't, and he can't.
Ft. the effects of being raised like a champion racehorse, friends that make you realise there's more to life than this and a hard reality check.

Summary

Summary
Max opens his mouth and then closes it, looking away. What he did during last year was work his ass off and try to not give in to it. What he has done today - this weekend, in fact - is exactly the opposite. Working himself sick, pushing himself to exhaustion - it worked, for a while. Now it just feels like he’s drowning.
or: Max doesn't allow himself to accept the possibility that he might need help. Gianpiero, once again, is a good man.

Summary
“Yeah, well consider it festered,” he spits out. “It isn’t something I can do so easily.”
“What isn’t?”
“The waiting. The waiting around,” he answers, and even he can hear the frustrated tone of his voice. He thinks he is probably not entitled to it, considering that this conversation is a cancerous growth from the desire that he can’t let go of. “I cannot just sit quietly for the next time you want me. There’s no time in the day for that.” There’s hardly time now. The fucking title hangs in the balance, and Daniel comes to him wanting to talk now.

Summary
Max prides himself on his lack of self-depreciation. For all of Max’s flaws, he’s never been one to blame himself for problems that aren’t his fault. It doesn’t count that he blames himself for all the people that leave - those are his own fault. He has enough evidence to prove it too.
Or, five people who leave Max, and one person who leaves, but comes back.

Summary
Baku 2018 cuz why not? Max tries to apologize after their crash, but Daniel is too angry to hear it and lashes out. He hurts Max and just wants to make things right.
This is more pre-slash, not explicit relationship. Can be read as pre-slash or just friendship.

Summary
He ignores the cameras, the reporters, and anyone else that tries to talk to him; he doesn't shake hands with Charles; he steps on Daniel's foot when he gets off the weights; and he shoves past Lando. He gets mad about everything in the garage, the people that try to stop him, and the way they look at him with pity, which he thinks would be fucking fantastic if it didn't make him so ashamed.
or: Max struggles to be back in Sliverstone. Even those closest to him cannot always understand everything.

Summary
Max feels strangely warmed by Brad's offer. It's nice. Nice to be cared about, liked, appreciated. Even though Max is not sure how good of an idea that would be, to speak to someone about this, or how much damage it would cause. And that's one of the most terrifying things of all; consequences.
or: Brad thinks Max's scars are the result of self-harm. They are not.

Summary
Max feels it before it happens. He’s coming towards the Raidillon on his first out-lap when the car twitches, flinches something unnatural under his hands. Suspension, he has time to think, and then the car is sliding.
Afterwards, all he can remember is the feeling of turning, falling. The quiet rush of air. The crunch.
or, daniel and max in the aftermath of a crash.

Summary
Resting the gun under his chin, Wayne took a moment to breathe. He wasn’t entirely sure what you were supposed to think, or even say, when you’re about to kill yourself. He wondered if he should write a note. Maybe a simple “Sorry I was a fuck-up” or “Hope the cleaning bill isn’t too much”.

Summary
The figure crouches down, and it’s easier to see him now. His blue-gray eyes hold the beginnings of amusement, if that counts for anything. Said sunlight is making his red hair light up all golden-like. The name tag on his uniform reads “Winters” which is almost an irony. “You look a little worse for wear, soldier,” Winters says.
It takes Lew a minute to find himself. “Yeah?” he answers finally. “Well, you look—”
But however Winters looks, he is not to know. Rather than finish his sentence, Lew rolls over onto his side and loses that second half of his lunch. Puking is an activity he’s friendlier with than he’d like to be, he’s very familiar with the territory. It’s been a long time, however, since he’s had a hand on his back, patting him through the worst of it.
***
Or Lew finds out what devotion really means in the shape of someone who could never return it
