Charles and Max, fierce rivals for years, share a drunken night that blurs the line between them. Days later, Charles suggests a reckless arrangement, and Max agrees, driven by his growing, unrequited love. Their secret is further complicated by the fact they both have girlfriends, entangling them in a web of guilt and forbidden emotions. P.S. I also post this on Ao3 under the same username!

Charles unexpectedly becomes single. He thought that break up was gonna be easy but it turns out to be compleatly false. He finds the much needed comfort in another driver. What happens when he suddenly finds out that he also likes men and how will everyone react?

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

Sia charles che Max sono stati inviati ad un podcast che si rivela interessante...

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆: 𝟏𝟖 + [𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭] ━━━ ❝ Everybody wants him, that was my crime. ❞ Maximilian Verstappen is as famous as one can get without being king. As the city's star bullfighter, The Red Bull, no one is immune to his charms. With his commitment to his craft, risking his life on the ring, Maximilian has escaped the pressures of courting- a particularly convenient arrangement considering his lack of interest in women. Charles Leclerc, a foreign nobleman, is not starstruck by him and Maximilian is quick to note. The night soon turns into morning and for the first time, Maximilian has an interest in something that is not his bulls.

[🔞contenuti espliciti] Avversari in pista, destinati a scontrarsi. E se non fosse solo questo? Dai kart alla Formula 1. Due carriere che si inseguono, si scontrano e si intrecciano. Tra gare leggendarie, conferenze stampa e notti che avvicinano più di quanto vorrebbero. Max e Charles imparano che in pista si lotta per vincere... ma fuori? Si lotta per non perdere sé stessi. Una storia fatta di tensione, duelli ruota a ruota, silenzi che pesano, risate rubate e orgoglio ferito. È la complicità che spaventa, perché ammetterla significa alzare la visiera e mostrarsi davvero. Nemici. Avversari. Forse, qualcosa di più. Un viaggio che ripercorre la loro crescita, le fragilità nascoste e quel legame destinato - che lo vogliano o no - a cambiare tutto. 💬 Slow burn. Angst dolceamaro. Sottotesto che esplode. 💔 «Non ti sto chiedendo di dimenticare. Ma se c'è anche solo una parte di te che ancora ci crede... lasciami restare.»

From karting fights to Formula 1 podiums, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc spend years circling each other with equal parts rivalry and desire. Every almost-crash, almost-confession, and almost-kiss tightens the pull between them until keeping their distance becomes impossible. One night breaks the fragile balance, and suddenly every race, every touch, every look feels like a new line they're crossing. Winning is hard - wanting each other is harder. tiktoks: @sarstappen (edits) @sarstappenn (writing)

You are gone, and I am still your sin. Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc are enemies in Formula One. Their constant bickering, fighting and name-calling is the number one topic. They end every race weekend in the headlines with words bad for their reputations. One day there is a fight between the two on the podium, during the Dutch national anthem. The FiA finds this unacceptable, especially when complaints start coming in from the Netherlands, the country where the situation took place and the fans, so they, along with the principal of Red Bull and Ferrari, decide to give the guys an ultimatum. Either they will pretend to be friends in front of the press and all the fans, or they will be kicked out of Formula One without the possibility of returning. Will they agree to this? Will they manage to stay in the formula? Why do they hate each other so much? LOVE OR RIDE | 18+ Formula One | Lestappen

Un amore intriso nel dramma e nei plot twist. Charles alla ricerca di un amore che sembrava scomparso che lo portò a combattere se stesso e la sua famiglia. La storia non è fondata su una stagione è solo frutto della mia immaginazione (Ci saranno parti spinte, un po' di depressione e attacchi di panico) spero vi piaccia buona lettura😙
