    Summary

    Lily looked at him disbelievingly. “You’re dating a terrorist.”

    “He’s not a terrorist,” James said, somehow offended. “He just—has a reputation.”

    “Yes, a reputation for terrorism,” Lily said, like James was a bit slow.

    James crossed his arms, visibly bristling. “He’s actually very principled.”

    “So is every fascist. That’s kind of the problem.”

    Or, Lily Evans judges James for his poor taste in men, then goes on to make significantly worse decisions.

    Featuring: academic burnout, moral spirals, inconvenient attraction, and the deeply ironic process of falling in love with someone you’d confidently list as a reason the world’s going to hell.

    She’s not proud of it. But he is very pretty.

    Summary

    Maybe Max already knows, sees through Charles right to the roots. “You don’t want to know? Who it is, I mean?”

    “No,” Max snaps.

    Charles flinches. He feels raw, exposed, like everyone can see the blooms unfurling in his chest.

    And then Max is turning to him and sliding a possessive hand around the base of his skull. He waits until Charles meets his eyes.

    “They don’t matter.” His long fingers curl in to press at the hinge of Charles’ jaw. “You will make them fall in love with you. Or.” Max swallows, throat bobbing reflexively. He leans in so close they’re breathing the same air. “Or you’ll get over them. Maybe…maybe fall for someone else. Anything can happen.”

    “Anything,” Charles echoes, feeling insane. Max doesn’t know. Max is jealous of himself.

     

    Or, Charles and Max have an arrangement to hook up during race weekends; half the grid knows. Charles has hanahaki; hardly anyone knows he’s heartsick, much less who he's pining over. Not his family, not Ferrari, and certainly not Max.

    Summary

    Max didn’t see it coming. Didn’t know Charles was that serious with someone. And now the news is everywhere.

    [Charles returns for the new F1 season with a mating mark on his neck so fresh his skin still looks raw.]

    Summary

    Charles has a horrible date, and no one is answering the phone to help him. As a last resort, he calls Max, his sort-of-friend/coworker/childhood-enemy-turned-maybe-crush who comes to pick him up. A day later, Max offers to take Charles out on a “fix-it” date, to show him how a real date should go. However, the ‘fake’ date turns out to be a little more real than either man had expected.

    Summary

    “I’ve never seen you around here,” a man’s voice said, snapping Charles out of his thoughts. Charles eyed the man, taking note of the beautiful clothes he was wearing. His formal jacket was navy blue, a red cape draped off of one of his shoulders, and the gold accents tied the outfit together perfectly.

    “My brother and his-” he paused, clearing his throat. “Friend. My brother and his friend dragged me along to this party.”

    “So you do not wish to be here?”

    “Would it offend you if I said yes?”

    “It wouldn’t,” the man sighed. “I do not wish to be here either.”
