Summary
A series in which I explore a possible continuation of the growing relationship between Riven and Musa from Fate: The Winx Saga, post-canon. Very much a slow burn.

Summary
Musa knew she had a soulmate, she’d known since she was a little girl. Her parents had been so thrilled, as a pair of soulmates themselves. When she starts at Alfea and the entire world seemed to go to shit, her soulmate seems less than important. Yet, maybe fate has a way of bringing them together without searching.

Summary
“Your birthday kisses. Have you not gotten them?”
Max has no idea what birthday kisses are, but his earlier question seemed to make Charles sad. And Max didn't want to make anyone sad, ever. So he decided not to ask. But Charles explained anyway.
“My Maman says that on your birthday you get the same number of kisses as the age you're turning. She always gives me and my brothers kisses on our birthday. Did your Maman not give you your kisses today?”

Summary
“My mom said, uh, that his name was Buck. That he was going to go to the fire academy and that he had a—” she broke off, rubbing her own forehead, exactly where his skin went pink. “She said he went by Firehose.”
Buck didn’t need all of his coworkers to look at him in alarm; he was pretty sure he’d gone deadly pale. His daughter knew four things about him, and one of them was his old tinder profile handle. He felt a little like he was going to die.
“She’s got your eyes,” Eddie commented, unhelpfully.
----
Buck finds out he has a daughter, and also a stupidly big crush on his best friend. It's an adjustment.

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
Max and Charles have been friends for years, even after Charles left karting because of financial troubles. Lately, Charles has been struggling with finding his footing in their relationship as he sees Max drift farther from him. Winning races, making friends, smiling for the cameras: Max is doing it all on the grid, without Charles.
or
"'When I’m with you, I feel at home. I want to be home. I want that peace and quiet.'
Charles was glad the moonlight hid his blush.
'Oh, Max,' he said softly.
There was nothing else he could say."

Summary
“You cannot love the person who takes everything away from you."
Charles watches him, because he can’t take his eyes off him even if he wanted to. Youngest ever driver accepted into Formula 1. Skipped past Formula 2. Toro Rosso. Red Bull. Always in a Red Bull. The safety car. P1. Champion of the world.
But he’s more than that too. He’s angry, and he’s a teenager, and he’s someone whose face turns red under the affections of his sister.
Max hasn’t taken anything away from him, because Charles has never really had anything in the first place.
Or,
The one where Pierre sends Charles into a quarter-life crisis during the active racing season.

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
“I’m not so drunk that I don’t know what I’m asking you,” Max said.
Charles swallowed the lump in his throat. “Me either.”
“So, is that a yes?”
“Are you sure about this?” Charles asked instead, laughing unbelievably and shaking his head. “This is not something we do, mate.”
“It could be something we do,” Max said, grinning at him. His fingers flexed on Charles’ hip, and it did something weird to Charles’ brain. When he looked back on this moment later, he would blame Max’s big hand on his hip for what he did next.
Because for some reason... Charles kissed him.
He wasn’t sure why.
OR: the self-indulgent story of how Charles and Max fell in love over winter break 2022, in a classic Enemies to Friends With Benefits to Lovers fic that nobody asked for.

Summary
On the drive back to the hotel Max had turned to him, blue eyes fierce and piercing.
“Promise me you won’t stop being angry. You’re angry because you know what you can do. Use it, control it, let it fuel you. Other people won’t understand but that doesn’t matter, you know what you’re capable of.”
You and me, he’d seemed to say, we’re the same.
Charles wonders now how he ever thought Max wouldn’t understand.
Or: Charles leaves Ferrari, tries to win a championship, and learns some things about belonging. All the while, Max is there.
