Summary
“So you’re really going to go through with this?” Max’s voice carries a thin ribbon of anger he doesn’t bother to hide.
“By this… do you mean my wedding?”
“Yes.” Max’s voice sharpens. “Enough is enough, Charles. Are you really going to marry him?”
“Why shouldn’t I?”
“Just tell me he’s the one,” Max demands, sarcasm dripping. “Tell me he’s the love of your life.”
“Tell me you don’t love me. Say it. And I’ll leave. And you can go get married.”
“Don’t do this, Max. I’m begging you…”
“If you really love him—enough to marry him—then telling me you don’t love me should not be hard.”Series

Summary
It wasn’t supposed to happen like this.
It was supposed to be planned around his schedule- aligned with winter break, maybe. Or even after he’d retired. He should’ve been with his partner, whoever they were; he’d never dared hope it would be Max. He should’ve been wrapped in their embrace, murmuring hushed words of excitement to one another as they waited for the minutes to pass and a result to show on the test.
They should’ve found out together. Ready. Eager. Full of love.
Instead it was like this: alone, curled on a cold bathroom floor, a painfully impersonal PDF staring at Charles from his phone. The only positivity to be found in the situation was sitting in the results column of the file, neatly slotted next to the word pregnancy.
The email. The result. The loneliness. It was all too much. Charles began to cry once again.
At the top of his screen, a response popped up with impeccable timing.
i told you not to text me.
Alternatively:
Charles is in love with Max. Max is in love with Charles. It really is that complicated, and then it gets worse.
Meanwhile, Lando just wants Oscar to kiss him, and he's not quite sure how to make that happen.- Language:

Summary
The trouble started with Marian’s phone buzzing.
Push alerts from the New York Times, Page Six, People, and, God help her, TMZ.“Billionaire Heir in Newport Love Nest with TV Star Susan Blaine”
“Lawrence Russell, 29, Linked to Married TV Anchor 30 Years His Senior”
“Scandal at RussellCorp: Family in Damage Control After Affair Revealed”
Marian’s eyes widened as she tapped one. The article unfurled in garish detail. With equally garish photographs.Her stomach twisted with something that was half disbelief and half… something else she couldn’t name.
Buzz. Another notification. This one wasn’t from a news app but a text.
Larry: Come over.
___________________________________He’s a billionaire’s son with a scandal, she’s his best friend and sick of getting set up on blind dates with every self-absorbed hedgefund manager in New York. When Larry’s dating disaster goes viral globally, he turns to Marian, his most reliable partner in crime, for a little help. Pretending to be the perfect couple sounds simple enough… until late-night texts, accidental kisses and social media fans start making them question if “fake” might just be the most real thing they’ve ever felt.

Summary
When rumors threaten two careers built under different spotlights, Charles Leclerc, a singer at the height of his fame, and Max Verstappen, the most watched driver in Formula 1, accept the same deal: to fake a relationship to silence the press.
What begins as an image strategy - rehearsed, timed, and with no room for feelings - begins to unravel behind the scenes, where there are neither cameras nor clauses sufficient to contain what grows between them.
Because some lies, when repeated too often, learn to sound like the truth.

Summary
“Max, listen to me. I’ll only say this once. We were in love. It was great. You were the first great love of my life. But we broke it. I’ve moved on. And for your own sanity, you need to do the same.”
He turned, finally meeting Max’s eyes with devastating gentleness. “I’ll always love you. But I’m not in love with you anymore. You have to accept that. Stop waiting for me to come back. Stop killing yourself on hope. You’ll always have my best wishes, but not my future.”
And with that, Charles walked away. Left Max in the kitchen, shattered, stranded among ghosts of memories that still burned on his lips.
OR
AU where Charles is a popstar/singer and Max is a movie director.
The story follows them after a break up and the journey of second chance, rebuilding, and eventual happy ending.Series

Summary
Max was perfectly happy with his chaotic yet happy life, which included a house full of loyal but equally unhinged friends, his final year of engineering, and just enough drama to keep things interesting. Everything was perfectly on track... until he showed up. A mysterious, annoyingly elegant stranger who bumped into him at a mall, spilled boba tea all over him, and then casually reappeared wearing Dior—just to buy milk.
After Charles entered the picture, life only became more chaotic, What started out as casual encounters turned into academic rivalries, petty fights, slow-burn tension, and the kind of love that flips your world upside down with arguments, late-night study sessions, glitter bombs, grocery store runs, Chaos, party and pranks.
And in between all of this Max came to the very big realization that he’s hopelessly, stupidly in love with the man who made his already chaotic life infinitely better

📌 blue echoes — the post-listen breakdown (i am not fine)
okay. so.
i’ve just finished my third full listen of blue echoes and i’m currently lying face down on my carpet in complete silence. if anyone would like to come peel me off the floor, you are welcome to try, but i make no promises. this album is not just an album, it’s a dissection. it’s a reckoning. it’s charles leclerc cracking open his ribcage and handing us his heart in sixteen pieces.
and it’s about him. it’s so obviously about him.

Anyone else a little worried about Charles? He hasn’t posted anywhere in over a week and we all know how chronically online he is.

[Video description: Charles sits at his piano, back to the camera as he plays drawn out notes across the keys. He sings over the slow melody, vocals raw and emotional as he belts “don’t say that it’s over when it’s barely started.” In the center of the video is black text: ‘false start (unreleased track)’]---

Summary
After a PR incident, Max is sent on a mandatory goodwill tour. He's a man of speed, with no time for vulnerability or domesticity.
He never expected to find both in the form of Charles Leclerc, a single dad who has built a perfectly guarded life for himself and his son, Luca.
But Luca, with his wide eyes and unwavering belief in Max, becomes the small crack in the dam. And Charles, with his quiet strength and sharp wit, proves to be the one person Max can't outrun.
In a world of fleeting connections, they discover what it means to truly slow down, to plant roots, and to build a life together, even if it means sacrificing everything.

Summary
“What’s it about?” Carlos asks, voice casual, but just curious enough to sound like he maybe has been wondering. “The album, I mean. Who’s it about?”
Lando shrugs. “Just… some guy I used to see.”
Carlos chuckles. “It was enough to write a whole album?”
Lando stares at the ceiling for a second. “I guess so,” he says.-
Two nights, one almost kiss, and a few really grainy photos. That's all it took for Twitter to shatter. Now Lando and Oscar are navigating paddocks, paparazzi, and the very inconvenient truth that they were never just friends.
And there’s the months in between.Bookmarked by cks2001

Summary
Max had watched the race with cameras trained in on him and the kids, he ignored it. He was a WAG; the WAG some fans liked to say, former driver and all that. He could already picture himself blown up on Sky Sports, the title card in red saying:
Max Verstappen - Mick Schumacher’s mate, and their children.
Because, as Jos had screamed at him after his phone call with Corinna, if he couldn’t be a formula one driver, he might as well be fucking one.
--
Or, Max marries Mick after being fired from Red Bull for presenting as an omega. Jos wants his son mated to a future Formula One World Champion.
But Charles Leclerc is Mick's teammate.

Summary
"I fucked Max. Right after Vegas."
There were a few seconds of absolute silence.
For some reason, Pierre looked much less surprised than Charles expected.
"Did you enjoy it?"
That would be an undestatement.
They were both drunk, so the memories were hazy, but they were there, and Charles wanted more.
But he couldn't.
It was a mistake.
Charles was a mistake.
It didn't matter. He had a championship to fight for, two more races with Carlos before he left Ferrari and a much-needed winter break to enjoy. He didn't have the time to worry about his stupid sexuality.
Except that Max had promised they would meet again, once the season ended.
In Vegas.
Charles had to survive until then.
If that night meant anything, if Charles wasn't just a pretty face to celebrate a championship with, it wasn't up to him.
It was up to Max.(Title is from "I Know a Place" by MUNA)
