Summary
Max felt like the moon, hung amongst the stars, watching the quiet stillness settle as the world fell asleep. Daniel was the sun, all blindingly golden and warm rays that you could bask in during busy city afternoons. He was wisps of amber that cascaded down, ringlets of an orange peel, fruit generous in the palm of your hand. He embodied everything summer represented, tied together with the checkered cloth you'd lay out for a picnic. Max felt as if he was held in winter: frost-covered windows, ice spindles crawling up glass panes, as the heat of your breath fogged them up.
They felt so different, but that was what brought him in. Opposite ends of a magnet, their dance orbited around one another, stepping into a constant swing of back-and-forth.
Daniel felt safe.
But with safety came fear: fear of longing, of losing, of having to move on.

Or: Recently widowed Max moves to a city in an attempt to escape the past, setting a rule to protect himself: no more falling in love. What he doesn't account for is reuniting with his childhood friend Charles, who introduces him to Daniel and Arvid, which happens to completely derail Max's plans.

Summary
Lewis Hamilton built a fashion empire without a single ounce of support from the wealthy family that tried to force him into law. Nico Rosberg, disowned for being gay, became his secretary when the company was nothing more than a hopeful idea. Years later, they’re inseparable, professionally. Personally, Lewis refuses to see what everyone else already knows. Then Lewis’s grandmother leaves behind a will with one condition: he must marry within a year to inherit the family villa in Italy. A joke from a friend turns into an impossible question, and suddenly Nico finds himself agreeing to a marriage he’s always secretly wanted, one that is supposed to last only a year. What begins as a careful performance slowly unravels into something deeper: jealousy, desire, emotional entanglement, and a love they both refuse to name. As their world watches with fascination, Lewis and Nico must navigate the line between what is real and what was meant to be pretend.
A love story built on a contract. A year that changes everything.

Summary
Charles Leclerc had long ago learned the art of slipping between masks. It was second nature to him now - the way he could glide from one set to another, wearing costumes and smiles that never quite reached his eyes, delivering lines that won applause and headlines. Acting was both his gift and his shield. On screen, in interviews, even in candid photos that fans dissected with obsessive detail, he appeared untouchable - brilliant, charming, grounded. Nobody ever asked him about the hollowness that followed him home, about the man who waited for him behind closed doors.
Or,
Charles is an actor stuck in a toxic relationship with fellow actor Marcus Whitman. When Charles lands the lead role in an F1 movie, he must attend real races to prepare - reconnecting with old karting friends Pierre, George, Alex, Lando. And Max, who may or may not have a huge crush on him. Amid the roar of engines and starstruck admiration, Charles remains shy and guarded, all while Marcus’s controlling presence shadows him at every turn. -

Summary
Wins used to feel electric, Lewis' heart drumming against his chest as he speeds past the finish line, quickly followed by the other Mercedes. Podium celebrations were even better, sweet champagne sprayed on him as he showered his fellow podium drivers back, usually with Nico. However, these days, it never feels the same.
Nico's life felt unfulfilled. He had beautiful daughters with a loving wife, trophies that decorated his shelves and enough money to never work again comfortably, so why does his heart still ache at the sight of the racetrack? He hated that despite all he had, he was greedy enough to still want Lewis, even after what he had done to him.
What will the two men do?
