Summary
Max Verstappen, a Formula One Driver born and broken for the sport, has known many things in his life. But racing? It was practically part of his anatomy, it laced his veins and bloomed in his lungs, it was all he was, all he would ever be. There was nothing that he hadn’t done, nothing that he hadn’t already given up, for this sport.
The three-time World Champion was no stranger to how harsh their secluded world could be.
One is the loneliest number there ever was, and even the top step isn’t stranger to the cold.
An all too familiar darkness tends to consume the raging storm that’s been brewing for years, but the burning sunset might just be his salvation yet.

Summary
The music was like an echo of something Charles had lost, a reminder of an emptiness he had to keep on fighting. It was struggling to do what you’ve always wanted to do, it was seeing the one you had loved the most being kissed by another, it was lonely nights falling asleep on top of the keys.
or; Charles, a talented pianist turned singer-songwriter, struggles to write his debut album while navigating his breakup with F1 world champion Max Verstappen. What's worse is that no one even knew that they were ever together.

Summary
Max Verstappen loves racing, this is a universal truth.
He’s spent the last decade of his life racing on the biggest stage in the world of motorsport. Through all these years, Max never really got nervous or hesitant. He always knew, another universal truth, that he was going to be a world champion one day. There had been doubts in the paddock, of course, but he never shared them. It was always going to be a matter of time. A matter of when, not if. There had been no room for nervosity, no need for it. Through it all, Max Verstappen had always felt in control of his own future.
That is, until Max Verstappen met Charles Leclerc.
or: formula 1 driver max verstappen meets pop star charles leclerc on the same weekend he has the chance to win his fourth world championship and is subsequently put through the most gruelling, frustrating and thrilling chase of his life, both on- and off-track.

“I did best you, didn’t I? I demand a boon.”
“And what shall you have of me?” Damen asked, voice suddenly soft.
“Delpha, at least,” she said with a hum. Damen’s eyes grew sad at the words, though his smile remained. “Perhaps a pony, as well.”
“For you, my dear, a kingdom.”

Summary
Lance doesn’t know which of his emotions is more overpowering; the secondhand embarrassment he feels at how blatantly obvious they’re being, or the fact that watching Max and Charles in their own little world is actually kind of cute.
He realizes it’s the secondhand embarrassment as he watches Max shamelessly grin at James and proudly explain that he was just talking to Charles.
Lance has to resist the urge to roll his eyes, especially when he notices how Charles is quite literally the embodiment of the heart eyes emoji where he’s standing next to Max for his entire interview. And the beeline Charles makes for Max as soon as he hands the microphone to Lance after his P2 interview is even worse than the heart eyes.
He definitely should have been paying attention to that group chat, Jesus fucking Christ.

OR: There is a WhatsApp support group chat on how to deal with being top 3 with Max and Charles, and this is the tale of different drivers (mostly Checo) suffering at the hands of them. An ongoing fic that will be updated whenever we get content to work with.

Summary
What had begun as an idle observation among the tour players had transformed with time into an unspoken rule, and then a spoken rule, then a generally incontrovertible fact.
It didn’t start out as an active decision, for Jannik. At first, of course, he wasn’t playing in any finals. Sure, he won a few matches, but the sixth set isn’t for winners. It’s for tournament winners. Champions. And their runners up.Later, when he won, he declined. When he lost, he was declined. No one desired him in that way. Long and lanky. Too quiet. Too cold. Too alien. An outlier. By the time that changed, helped along by a grand slam title and a gucci sponsorship, it was too late.
By that time, Jannik was untouchable.
Poised and professional, pious in his dedication to the game. Aloof, ascendant, and apparently all too alluring as a result.The fact remains. Jannik Sinner doesn't play the sixth set. Because he doesn’t lose.
Of course, there’s one exception.Bookmarked by danyelae

Summary
“Let’s recap then- You admit that you and Charles Leclerc have been involved in a sexual relationship for the past two years. You describe this as a ‘long-term, exclusive, friends with benefits’ arrangement, in which you estimate you usually sleep with him at least twice a week. Oh, and in your own words, it’s 'complicated'. Does that cover everything you want to tell me Max?”
“Oh for fuck’s sake- yes, Gemma, that’s everything. Now will you please tell me what the fuck is going on?"
“I will, but I have one last question...When did you and Charles film the sex tape?”
.

or: Max and Charles’ sex tape is leaked to the paddock. The violation of privacy is almost as terrible as the way it forces them to confront their feelings.- Language:

Summary
“Do you know what fanfiction is?”
Max blinks. “Yeah?”
“Oh, good,” Charles says, even more relieved. “Do you know people write about celebrities?”
Max rolls his eyes. “I’ve been briefed by PR, yeah.”
Charles flops down on the lounge, Sassy and Jimmy long gone, and props his feet up on the coffee table. Max rolls his eyes again, then sits down next to him. He and Charles are friends, kind of, and certainly closer now that they’ve ever been before, but he’s never really witnessed Charles having a PR-related meltdown before. They’re not that close.
Oh, well. A first time for everything, he supposes.
“Great!” Charles says cheerily, then unlocks his phone and shoves it in Max’s face. “Do you also know that we’re ranked second on Archive of Our Own?”
