Summary
“Someone you’ve had a long history racing, someone you’ve had a much-talked-about rivalry with, someone who is one of the most beloved drivers in the paddock and well known for being the best at PR?” She raises her eyebrows but Max still doesn’t get it.
“Someone you were fighting for a title last year?”
“Oh,” Max nods. Then reality slams into him in full force, “You mean Charles?”
or; Max Verstappen needs to improve his image. Charles Leclerc, perfect PR paddock princess, can help him with that. These childhood competitors were never meant to be just rivals.

Summary
“Charles,” Max said, his tone soft again and breaking Charles of his thoughts. “Please just ask me for whatever you want to ask me. You don’t have to keep explaining yourself.”
Charles laughed again, his cheeks bright red.
“Could I... sit on your cock for a little bit?”

Summary
“You think you are so much better –“
“I know I am,” Max cut him off again. “But that doesn’t mean that I can’t be beat.”
“You want me to beat you?”
“I want you to fucking try,” Max said, and over the phone, Charles could hear his cocky little grin. Charles found himself grinning back.

Summary
If he had to name the place where the story of Max and Charles began, if there was a moment that divided them into Before and After, there would be a few candidates.
But there was only one correct answer. He would never forget the name.
The place is called Val d’Argenton. Stories are still being written there.
Charles likes to tell the story of the incident - turn by turn, infused with poetic drama, detailing every single emotion: frustration, anger, pure spite. Every time he tells it, his smile grows along with the laughter in his eyes, even as his words recount a tale of opposing emotions.
“I never want to go back to Val d’Argenton,” Charles once confessed.
“We’ll never go back there,” he promised, and Charles knew what he meant.

Summary
Marcus is an American, recently discharged from the army, and living in London with his Uncle Aquila. He goes to work for his uncle’s art packing and shipping company, currently contracted to pack and deliver ancient Roman statuary and other objects from London to a museum in the US. Esca, son of Uncle Aquila’s former Scottish housekeeper, is an intriguing thorn in Marcus’ side: intense, contradictory, oddly attractive…and quite possibly the worst-dressed person Marcus has ever known.
[Inspired by the series of photographs entitled "Jamie Bell: What Not to Wear," posted in LJ’s ninth_eagle on August 14, by ninja_orange. The photos depict the evolution of Mr Bell's fashion sense, ranging from the really, truly awful to sleek stylishness and simple, well-chosen interview garb. Sources and Acknowledgements follow the last chapter.]

Summary
London 1888:
The revelation had come upon not in rain and flame, but in a moment of quiet normality with tea steaming in the pot and the soft cry of a violin in the air. Baker Street, a day like countless others before it and this one quite different. I was already engaged to my dearest Mary then and there could not have been a worse time for me to realise the truth of my own twisted nature.
I loved him.
And love which is meant to lift us up among the angels cast me down among the demons.
If hell raged that night it raged at me.

Summary
“What do you see of this Ripper so far? From what you’ve come across?”
“His silhouette. But he’s like dust caught in sunlight."Hannibal Lecter is many things: the owner of the Grace Café, a diligent father to an adopted daughter, a formidable former psychiatrist and surgeon. He is talented and tasteful, and Will Graham falls in love with him for all of these reasons. He's also the man Will has been hunting for months, and yet even with his nose to the ground Will's never caught the scent of him - the Chesapeake Ripper.
A gratuitous café AU, though maybe not so sweet as others.
