Summary
Charles never meant for anyone to find the letter he hid in the wall of a tiny café in Monaco.
And he certianly never expected someone to answer it.
But slowly the stranger's words become a lifeline— one postcard, one confession, one impossible feeling at a time.Bookmarked by opustwentythree

After meeting Charles Leclerc, everything changed for Max once and for all.

Summary
Charles, a fighter pilot for the French-Monégasque Armée de l'Air, is also second in line to the Monégasque throne. And, so what, if he has a crush on Max Verstappen? Even as a tifoso? And, so what, if Max Verstappen just bought him a drink?
He's a trained, professional soldier who's done two tours in Afghanistan... He can be totally normal about this.
(He cannot, in fact, be normal about this)
(But that's okay, because neither can Max)

Summary
“No. Listen. Any baptized Catholic man can be pope. Any. You know what that means?”
“It means a billion men are now eligible to run the Vatican like it’s a startup,” Beatrice mutters.
Davide raises an eyebrow. “Where are you going with this?”
Gianluca leans in. Drops his voice like it’s a state secret. “We choose one.”
or
In which there are two religions in Italy — the Catholic Church and Ferrari. When the papacy unexpectedly falls vacant, a group of dedicated Tifosi see their opportunity. After all, if Charles Leclerc can handle the pressure of the Prancing Horse, how much harder could managing the Holy See really be?

Summary
It’s been five years since then, and every day Charles wonders what happened. He’d asked all their mutual friends, and then he’d even tried just Max’s friends, and eventually he’d even decided to bother Sophie and Victoria, but nobody would tell him anything. Charles has thought of everything in that time: maybe Max was sick. Maybe his mother was sick. Maybe Red Bull had wanted something Max couldn’t give. Maybe Max had just decided he simply didn’t want to get in a car one more time.
Maybe he’d regretted what happened between them, and simply couldn’t look Charles in the eyes.
Without a single photo of Max in the last five years, Charles had even wondered, in his darkest, saddest moments, whether Max had died.
Now, standing in a patisserie, in a tiny rural town in France, Charles finally has his answer.
//
Charles has never been more lonely in his life. Then he stumbles upon Max and his daughter and he realises what he's been missing.

Summary
Max Verstappen is fighting for his 8th world title. He's got his eyes set on the prize, but there's a rookie making things way too interesting. Charles Leclerc, a fresh face in F1, is playing the game like he's been here forever. And Max? Well, he’s trying very hard to not let this annoyingly calm, ridiculously talented newbie get under his skin.
But maybe—just maybe—there’s something about Charles’ quiet confidence and unshakable smile that Max can’t quite ignore. It’s not just racing anymore. It’s... something else.

“Whatever you do, do not let Max touch you.”
Max puts up walls (metaphorically). Charles walks through walls (literally).

Summary
Charles Leclerc didn’t ask to be a demigod. He didn’t ask to be chased by monsters, dragged to a camp full of chaotic teenage heroes, or told his real dad lives somewhere near Mount Olympus—or, worse, in Monte Carlo. He just wants to go home. Unfortunately, the gods have other plans. And so does a very annoying son of Zeus named Max.

Summary
It all started when Ferrari’s Twitter declared Oliver, Oscar, and Leo (the dog) as Charles' sons. Cute, right? Then a random fan took it a step further: “Max and Charles share custody of the three kids.”
And that’s when Oliver Bearman’s last two brain cells high-fived.
If the internet already believes it, why not make it real? So with the power of the racing gods and anime, he launches OPERATION: GET MAX AND CHARLES TO KISS.
Will he succeed at being the grid’s most powerful nepo baby, or will he be disowned before he’s even adopted?

Summary
Okay, maybe I am still dreaming, Charles thinks to himself, bringing one of his paws up to rub at his eyes. He is pretty sure he brushes against a little triangular ear on top of his head. And there is definitely a tail swiping across the sheets lazily.
This is just a dream, he repeats to himself. This will all change once I am awake.
Except. Nothing changes.
Charles gathers that he might actually be a cat.
Well, worse things have happened to him. Like Monaco 2022.

or: charles wakes up as a cat and decides the best thing to do about it is to look for cat dad extraordinaire max verstappen

Summary
“Well, fancy seeing you here.”
Charles’s blood froze to ice. His heart stopped. He would recognize that voice anywhere. He couldn't move.
“Are you ignoring me?” Max asked with a low voice when Charles didn’t acknowledge him.

Or: After promising himself that he wouldn’t explore his interest in BDSM before he retired from racing, Charles still finds himself at an exclusive BDSM club in Monaco when summer break hits. He meets some new people and some familiar faces as he dives into this new world.

Summary
“With Lando Norris’ almost-wedding, they’re all looking your way,” Christian continued, tapping his pen lightly against the desk. “They want to know if you have someone, Max. You know how it is—an eligible young bachelor, a company worth millions, and no one on your arm. It’s basically a tabloid headline waiting to happen.”
“Yeah, yeah, I get it,” Max said, waving a hand dismissively. He could practically hear Christian rolling his eyes on the other end of the line.
“Just think about it,” Christian pressed. “It’s not about settling down, not really. It’s about optics. Perception. You know how much people eat this stuff up—especially when they’ve already decided you’re some cold, work-obsessed tycoon. A little personal connection goes a long way.”Or: Seven years after a high school dance tore them apart, Max and Charles still don’t speak. But when Charles needs him, Max always shows up—helpful in the most unexpected, infuriating ways.
