"My life was all about boxing and drugs until you came along." Max Verstappen is a rising boxing star. In the ring, he is almost perfect-focused, disciplined, unstoppable. He wins fight after fight, keeps his body in peak condition, and looks like the ideal athlete everyone admires. His career is clean and impressive. He always gets what he wants: titles, respect, victory. Outside the ring, Max is a very different man. Cold, arrogant, and dangerously confident, he lives like someone who believes the world belongs to him. He parties hard, uses drugs, chases pleasure, and rarely thinks about consequences. Fame makes everything easier - people, women, and whatever else he desires. Everything begins to change when he crosses paths with Charles Leclerc, his trainer's younger son. Charles is clever, determined, and not afraid to challenge Max. What starts as a simple proposal quickly becomes something neither of them expected, leading to tension, challenges, and a connection that could turn both their worlds upside down.

We all know what it is to be alive, breath in and out as your heart beats. But what is it to live? What is it to have no regrets when you stop being alive? This is an AU where Max is a baker and Charles is a florist and . . . yeah, I'm really bad with descriptions

The past few years with Ferrari had been relentless for Charles Leclerc, and the new season promised no relief. Every podium, every headline, every lap pressed down on him, leaving exhaustion and isolation in their wake. Even amidst the chaos of the track, the pressure followed him into the quiet of his hotel room, where the fight to keep control felt endless, and no one truly saw... Max, his longtime rival, notices things no one else does. And despite themselves, the tension between them begins to shift. Between crashes, podiums, and endless competition, a fragile connection forms-one that challenges everything Charles thought he knew about rivalry, loyalty... and love.

Max Verstappen is in his second year of formula one, no victory to speak of yet, not even a podium, the paddock is full of smiling faces and the sun is bright yet Max's life lacks sunshine. Max's sunshine hasn't shone in a while, actually, his green eyes rarely light up anymore, but Max wants to be the one to bring him in from the darkness. Charles doesn't know how to cope with his grief, eighteen and away from home in a country that doesn't speak his language pursuing the one thing that he's ever known, so close to his dream yet so far from achieving it and being held back by financial restraints. Will he ever be able to shine again?

*Requests are open* F1 Oneshots! This is my first time writing oneshots, so... bere with me. I decided to make a Lestappen one-shot book since most of my stories are meant to be with them as the couple anyway. Expect chaos, fluff, angst, rivalry, and soft moments they'll never admit to. Sometimes, you might see Carlando, Yukriee or Wollfner pop up but this is Max and Charles territory first. Also, if there's a dynamic, trope, or chaotic idea you want to see turned into a fueled rollercoaster, I'm your writer. You name it, I'll bring the emotional damage (and maybe some fluff if I'm feeling generous). If you like emotional damage, accidental confessions, and podium tension, that feels like a breakup... welcome.

(I don't know what this AU is called but they aren't F1 drivers in it) Charles hates his downstairs neighbour - he's an arrogant, stuck up, mannerless, hot - no, not hot - person and Charles hates him. What he hates the most? How Max's penpal never writes his address properly - does the man not correct him?

Lestappen Mini Story, hope y'all enjoy it.

When Max starts coughing up petals, Charles is forced to confront a past he's forgotten. As Max's condition worsens, Charles unravels a hidden connection between them?, struggling to uncover the truth before it's too late.
