Summary
"Bad luck on the last right hander there Max. Better for us both next week you think?"
And then. Well. Then there was him. If anyone could make him stay, in this godforsaken world of open wheel racing it was the boy with the kind eyes and messy hair.
"Oh? Yes? Bad luck?" Max didn’t bother attempting to disguise the contempt in his voice. Charles paused. Looked back. He saw too much for someone so young. Most people just saw Max's rage and looked away because watching such strong emotions was uncomfortable.
"Lorenzo is not here, but he decided this after my parents picked food. Dinner?" The bastard had just gotten them both disqualified, bold face lied to a fucking reporter, and now he was asking if Max wanted to avoid his dad for another couple of hours and eat food that wasn’t from a takeout bag?
“Fuck yes.”Or:
I stole Taylor Swift’s storytelling abilities and Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc’s lives and wrote a sappy one-shot. (I’m being told by my beta reader that I can’t call it a one-shot if it’s 20k words) (This just in, shut up! It’s fine! It’s all one chapter dammit!)Bookmarked by shleeshenanigans

Max watches the van disappear over the horizon. He can't help but keep his eyes glued on the road—can't help but hope that the van will turn around and come back. But he knows that that's a stupid wish. His father has a lesson to teach, and he won't come back until Max has learned it.
A voice from behind startles Max out of his reverie. He whirls around, prepared to run, and—
Is that Sebastian Vettel?

Summary
Max prides himself on his lack of self-depreciation. For all of Max’s flaws, he’s never been one to blame himself for problems that aren’t his fault. It doesn’t count that he blames himself for all the people that leave - those are his own fault. He has enough evidence to prove it too.
Or, five people who leave Max, and one person who leaves, but comes back.

Summary
"They haven’t spoken in years. Too much has changed since then -- things they can’t undo. Is he the same Charles that Max once knew through and through, like a birthmark on his own skin? Max could once recall every freckle, every eyelash, every giggle out of his mouth and now...Charles is taking Max’s place."
or;
Max fell in love with Charles at sixteen years old, in the moments between breathing and ballet school. It was easy – until it wasn’t. Years have passed since then. And now Charles is back in Max’s life: unannounced, unexpected, and unwelcome.Bookmarked by shleeshenanigans
