    Summary

    It all started with a crash.

    Well, technically, it started with a blue-eyed boy with blonde hair getting screamed at in a language he couldn’t understand when he was only 8 years old. He remembered looking at the boy, who couldn’t be much older than himself - (two weeks older, to be exact, he’d learn later) - and watching the spark disappear right out of those icy blue eyes.

    That was the first memory Charles Leclerc had of Max Verstappen: Watching Jos Verstappen, Max’s own father, scream at this 8 year old child with an intensity that turned his face red and made every blood vessel in his neck look dangerously close to bursting.

    But if anyone ever were to ask Charles when he started to realize that his feelings towards that same Max Verstappen he had known since childhood had begun to change into something else, something bigger, something terrifying he couldn’t - or wouldn’t - quite put his finger on, he would say that it all started with a crash.

    Because of fucking course it did.

    Summary

    The grainy pictures are pieced together like a crude comic strip, sketching a poorly thought-out narrative arc that somehow made it onto the front page of every sleazy newspaper.

    Summary

    “Need I remind you,” Louis said, in that same low, cold voice, “that I never married you.”

    “Need I remind you,” Lestat snapped, “that you bound yourself to me, in that church, on the altar!”

    Now it was Louis’ turn to laugh.

    Lestat wears a ring. Louis doesn't. Daniel pries, and gets a bit more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    “It’s not a crush, I’m a grown man,” Eddie counters, setting his mug down. He crosses his arms and tries not to fidget. “That’s silly.”

    “What, so you’re in love with him?”

    The question hits him somewhere near his ribcage. Eddie has to actively use every part of his brain to respond, correctly. Without—saying anything crazy. “Buck, he’s a famous singer.”

    ...or, Eddie has a crush on Orville Peck, who totally does not look like Buck.
