In a world where gods play favorites and monsters hunt in shadows, love might be the deadliest curse of all. Max, son of Ares, has lived his whole life under Hera's cruel blessing-a curse that destroys anyone who gets too close. He's the best fighter at Camp Half-Blood, feared for his temper and his blade. Then Charles arrives-a golden boy with a past he won't talk about, and anger he knows how to use. The gods whisper that Charles is the second half of the key to ending a threat older than Olympus itself. Thrown together on a quest across ancient ruins, and monster-infested roads, Max and Charles will face curses, trials, and the darkest corners of their own trauma. The deeper they go, the more the line between hate and something far more dangerous begins to blur. But with a god's legacy at stake and a curse that punishes every bond Max makes, falling for each other might not just be forbidden-it might be fatal. Percy Jackson AU

A Harry Potter AU | Max Verstappen x Charles Leclerc | Enemies to Lovers | Slytherin x Gryffindor Charles Leclerc has everything figured out: perfect grades, a polished prefect badge, and a future that shines brighter than a freshly polished broomstick. The last thing he needs is Max Verstappen - the infuriatingly charming Slytherin bad boy with a smirk for every rule he breaks and a nickname for everyone he annoys. Especially sweetheart. Which, apparently, is now Charles. Forced to partner up in Potions and constantly thrown together by fate (or a sadistic Headmaster), Charles finds himself tangled in a rivalry he never asked for - one filled with late-night detentions, stolen glances, and an escalating war of pet names that feels dangerously like flirting. He's everything Charles shouldn't want. So why does it feel like Max is the only one who really sees him?

Formula 1 is a strange sport. It is adrenaline, speed and a small line between Winning and Catastrophic. And it also was lonely. Charles Leclerc does now that better than most of the drivers. He knows the Moments, where you're standing on the podium, everyone cheering for you and feeling like you're standing on top of the world. But he also knows the dark side after a race, the silence and feeling of emptiness. He lost too much to see formula one as only a sport. His Godfather Jules. His father. A good friends Anthoine. Sometimes he asks himself if he also hadn't lost himself troughout his life. But he learned to smile trough it, even when he felt like everything inside him was breaking. He felt like nobody did care anyway. So he acts like everything is fine. And then there was Max. Max Verstappen, who was his rival on track and something between rival and friendship of track. Somebody he doesn't understand. Somebody he couldn't let go off. But there is so much more. Something Charles couldn't name and Max don't want to acknowledge.
