Summary
"Scram," Charles orders suddenly, with a flick of the hand that vacates the young noble by two burly guards. There's only Max left. He has stood in front of royals, in front of monsters, in front of Gods; nothing has left him more frozen than to stand in front of his husband. Having his full attention is dizzying, even with the cloak's protection. “Who are you?”
or; after ten years, Max comes back home. It doesn't quite go as he expected.

Summary
Merlin hoped that if he helps with the worst part, then people will take care of the rest of their own mess. However, it turned out the secrets of the new Dark Lord run much deeper than anticipated and he’ll have to stick for a little bit longer this time. Unless the curious teenagers, nosy adults, careless creatures or infuriating portraits drive him nuts first. Well, let the game begin… again.

“You know,” Charles started with a laugh, “if Red Bull are as fucked as you say they are, maybe you should just come with me.”
Max furrowed his eyebrows, bright eyes glinting in the sunlight.
“With you?” he asked.
“To Ferrari, of course.”

Summary
It has been six months since both Merlin’s magic and his pregnancy were revealed, and six months since he was locked inside an opulent guest room turned prison cell. Arthur hasn’t been to visit him – not once – despite the fact that the child Merlin is carrying is his, and Merlin still doesn’t know whether an execution awaits him on the other side of his pregnancy. If he even survives it, that is. Because it has also been six months since Merlin’s magic was locked away by iron cuffs, and the strain is making him weaker by the day.
Tired of waiting and deciding that he can’t allow an innocent baby to grow up in a Camelot that hates magic, Merlin strikes a deal with Agravaine that will ensure the safety of his unborn child.

Summary
Charles recalibrates. He twists and fixes his rifle’s adjustment settings until he’s satisfied, knowing intuitively when that strikes true. The crosshairs in his scope never waver as he waits like a hunter about to pounce. He waits, and waits, and waits—his breathing slowing down more and more with each passing second.
Until—
“There you are,” he mutters.
Max Verstappen. Jos Verstappen’s son. The most powerful Penoze syndicate’s alpha heir apparent.
And he’s also Charles’ assigned hit.

Summary
He doesn’t blame Max, not really.
If he could have Charles for one night, he would never let him go either.
Maybe he isn’t the one who is losing; Max is also playing a losing game.
You can’t open yourself to Charles and try to exist in his charmed life without becoming irrevocably enamoured.
When Max let Charles walk into his motorhome, when he let Charles slip into his existence, Max didn’t know it then but the battle was already lost.

Summary
The envelope was there, at the polished wooden table in his foyer, waiting for him. James could see the company name printed in fine black letters over the front, a name he had never expect to find on an envelope addressed to him: Grimmauld Studios. Dread clawed at his stomach, his mind conjuring the image of storm grey eyes fanned by thick black lashes.
What did they want from him?
James Potter is a rising actor with a promising career. But life as he knew it is about to come crashing down when he finally meets Regulus Black, a name that all the films wanted to showcase, perfect and stunning. The brightest start in Hollywood, and the one that had the most to hide. For all his fame and success, Regulus Black remained an enigma, signed exclusively with Grimmauld Studios, his renowned family's business.
And was Sirius' brother.
And James Potter has just been offered a contract with them, for a film that might just mean the beginning of the end. What more could be hiding inside the glittering halls of the House of Black? What ghosts lurked in the shadows, behind the cameras and practiced smiles?

“Are you trying to get killed, Potter?” Malfoy drawls, stalking forward. Quick as a serpent himself, he reaches out and grabs the snake just below the head. It thrashes in his grip, but is no longer able to bite anyone. “This is a poisonous snake, and I doubt anyone brought a bezoar with them.”
Harry glares. He opens his mouth, and feels the beginning the snake’s language pass his lips, and this isn’t what he wants, what’s the point of insulting Malfoy if he can’t understand him –
Malfoy’s eyes widen. He slaps his hand over Harry’s mouth, “Potter, what the hell–”

Summary
There are a lot of people who have called Charles a masochist for sticking with Ferrari through thick and thin, when very few drivers would be willing to put up with the heartache. There are a lot of people who struggle to understand his resilience when there are so many teams that would fight tooth and nail to have him.
But the love and dedication he has for his team, nurtured since he was a child, fuel him and burn strong enough to make him stay and dream.
Maybe that’s the reason he can’t let Max Verstappen go either.
Or: Charles navigates through a difficult F1 season. In the middle of it all, he finds Max. Because Max is always there.

“What is wrong with you?” Seb accuses. “What are you looking at?”
Lewis flips the invitation around, holding it up to the screen so Seb can see it through FaceTime.
“Ah,” Seb says. “Yes, mine arrived yesterday. They’re eager, aren’t they?”
Lewis purses his lips, then pulls the invite away so he can read over it again.

Invite you to celebrate their wedding

“Do you think about getting married?” Seb asks.
Lewis can’t help his scoff. “Seb.”
“What?” Seb asks innocently. “You are 38 now, surely it is time to settle down.”
“And get some bees?” Lewis asks wryly, flipping the invitation over so it’s face down.
Seb shrugs. “There are worse things.”
Lewis struggles to swallow down the lump that’s suddenly formed in his throat. His shoulder aches, a phantom pain that his doctor says is more psychosomatic than ongoing complications.
“Yeah,” he agrees quietly. “I guess there are.”

The Warlock and the Dragonlord by NotAllWho_Wonder_AreLost
Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Merlin (TV)
18 Dec 2025
Summary
Arthur Pendragon had hoped to receive his Hogwarts letter after his sister, Morgana had gotten hers at eleven, so when Arthur's birthday came and went, and nothing came, he couldn't help but be disappointed in knowing that the closest he would get to magic was reading some of his sisters books she received from school.
Until Merlin came crashing into his life, and he found a new friend with magic. Except, this magic wasn't the same as his sisters. Merlin's eyes turned gold, and he needed no wand; not to mention the magic seemed to have connected itself onto Arthur for some reason. Merlin never got his letter either, so clearly something wasn't right.
As Merlin tries to learn magic by his own means, the two of them find out that there are people in the world who would like nothing more than to harness Merlin's strange magic for themselves.- Words:

Summary
Hands slammed square into his chest, knocking him off kilter, just a little, before he regained his balance again, gripping back at the wrists of the offending appendages.
“What the fuck?”
“You fight me properly! You promised me, you fight me properly!
Charles’s voice was slightly muffled by his helmet, but the words were clear as day in Max’s head, even if not in reality.
“I did.”
“You gave me fucking space! You don’t give anyone space!”
Charles dragged his wrists from the grip Max had on them, turning away to pry his helmet. When he turned back, his emerald green eyes swirled dark, seething, a look Max had seen on more than one occasion. /Plenty of occasions/. But hardly ever directed at him.
Can you really be lovers off the track, and rivals on it?
After Max is too kind to Charles during a race, Charles has some things to say. Max has some honesty in return.Bookmarked by my_tbr (gowitheflow)
