Summary
Charles woke up to last night's hook-up scrolling through Tinder in bed next to him.
“What time is it?” He asked, sleepily, in his ‘morning after mediocre sex’ voice.
“Almost eight, I think.”
“Oh,” Charles gasped, mouth hanging open. “I’m going to be late for work. No, no, no, no.” He fell out of the bed and immediately slammed his face into the nightstand, because he was smooth like that. “I have to get to work.”

Summary
If Max didn’t desperately need the money, he would’ve looked for another job a long time ago. Red Bull Burgers, as ridiculous as the name and mascot of the restaurant are, actually gives him a decent salary. It’s one of the reasons why Max hasn’t quit.
“Charles!” And there is the other reason why Max hasn’t quit. His lovely, perfect boyfriend Charles works here too.

Summary
There is no version of love that matches comfort. No, love is like a fist hitting square into his jaw. Love is pain.
Charles smiles, green eyes twinkling under the artificial lights, his slender fingers toying with the loose strings of his bracelet. Max watches, with a heavy weight on his chest bringing him down and a knot tied on his throat. Love hurts. He wants nothing but to reach out and hold his hand and let Charles run his index fingers through his palm, mapping out his veins, but he can’t. He can’t.

Lewis is Nico's sworn enemy, his arch-rival, his nemesis. But no one seems to want to admit it except Nico.

Summary
A second passes when Max reaches the top. He hasn’t moved yet, Daniel thinks that no one in the audience has either. He can see the tip of the other’s toes when they flex, he knows Max is readying himself for something. Can feel the swell of suspense among the viewers, they’re all watching him.
Max falls backwards, and someone else screams.
(Or a circus AU in which Max is an aerial artist, and Daniel is looking for a way to run away.)

this is perfect, i haven't even read it all but i'm saying already that it's completely worth reading and then rereading and generally being a constant mess over. the nostalgia is aching, the writing is raw, and the maxiel is so so good. <3
edit: and now i have read it all and it's actually terrible (emotional stability)

Summary
Sebastian wants to believe Lewis.
He wants to take whatever hope Lewis has thrown in his direction, and put in a pretty little flowerpot. Maybe he’ll water it a little. Maybe throw in a little bit of fertiliser just to keep the bugs out.
Maybe at the end of the year, he’ll show up at Lewis’ doorstep with a basket of fruits wrapped in bright red paper. Maybe they’ll enjoy them together.
Instead, Sebastian eats it. Keeps it for himself and hopes that it’ll grow inside him. Hopes that it’ll bear fruits that only he can taste.
He waits for the sweetness to form on his tongue.
And he hopes that whatever Lewis gave him was real.
