They were six when they first met in a Monaco park just two little boys who built an entire world together with nothing but laughter, secret shoulder taps, and promises whispered in broken English and Dutch. Max fell first, it was hard but quiet like the world made sense only when Charles was beside him. Then life tore them apart. Divorce. Abuse. Disownment. A boarding school punishment that brought Max back to Monaco... but not back to Charles. Years later, they're academic rivals in the same elite halls and Max topping the boards, Charles burning with questions he never got to ask. One fake photo, one drunken night, one ghosted year, and everything shatters again. Until second year at Sorbonne University. One classroom. One shoulder tap. One desperate kiss in front of the entire lecture hall. Max fell first but Charles? He just fell harder and now they have to rebuild what was lost through jealous projects, family shadows that refuse to stay buried, late-night confessions, and touches that say everything words never could. From childhood bubbles to Paris dorms, and from rivals to roommates and maybe to fiancés... This is the story of two guys who were always meant to find each other again even if it hurt like hell along the way.

Max and Charles coming out earns them loads of love and appreciation from fans and people in the F1 world alike. However, there are plenty of people who'd rather ruin their quiet relationship. Surprisingly, those comments start to take a toll on Max's mental health. With Red Bull struggling and Ferrari thriving under the new regulations, will Max be able to handle his current situation? Meanwhile, Ollie tries to face the consequences of cheating on Kimi. The Italian seems to want nothing to do with Ollie, but is that really the truth? As an important race win reveals the many lies Ollie has told, will Kimi be able to face him again? Or will he bury his feelings? What about Gabi, who can't seem to let Ollie go? "I say I love you, you say nothing back" is the third story in the Clarity saga. It is possible to be read as a standalone. This fic canonically follows the 2026 F1 season and its results. A new update will be posted after every race, big event, or break.

[Lestappen High School AU] Charles has been having some kind of situationship with Carlos Sainz for almost a year now. Throughout that year, Charles had faced more downs than ups, all because he had caught feelings. Hard. And he couldn't handle all those mixed signals. But what happens when Lando introduces him to the new student, who seems quite interested in Charles? This fanfic is inspired by a video of the Tiktoker @/mally25454, so if you like this then please thank them!🙏

Obsessive Charles wants Max all to himself. He stalks him, gets jealous easily, saved him as "My Man" On every social. Charles often "borrows" Max's gears and clothes but he's actually just inlove with his scent. Realistic AU Lestappen ship. Max doesnt know how Charles checks his profile all the time, he doesn't know how obsessed Charles is over him. Please enjoy reading this because one day I will stand infront of God and explain this shit. Slow Burn 🔥

(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?

ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢ: 18+ He's used to being in control, used to getting what he wants. But when a stranger catches his eye in a crowded bar, something shifts. He lives a life where every move is calculated and trust is like a rare currency, this stranger changes everything Max thought he understood about power and desire. He'll stop at nothing to get to know him, pushing the boundaries between what could be dangerous and an obsession. (Mafia AU + Lestappen)

(Updates regularly | Mature content ⚠️| Not a Slow-burn obsession | Mafia x Police forbidden romance) Five years into a relationship built on routine, Max knows exactly where Charles keeps his secrets, he just pretends not to look. When a body turns up on the southern coast of France, Max is assigned to a case that refuses to close. Evidence vanishes. Witnesses forget. Every lead circles back to a man who insists he is only a businessman, and a brother whose death no one seems eager to avenge. Between blood and the law, there is a space neither of them are supposed to occupy 'a place at the limit', where pursuit becomes permission and silence is mistaken for innocence. Max investigates what he already understands and Charles waits at the apex, ruling what he cannot afford to confess. The question is no longer who committed the crime but whether Max was ever meant to stop him, or simply stay close enough to follow, long after the line has been crossed.

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
