"Twenty five drivers start every season in Formula 1, and each year two of us die. What kind of person does a job like this, not normal men for sure. Rebels. Lunatics. Dreamers. People who are desperate to make a mark and are prepared to die trying." - Niki Lauda "There's a point at 7000 RPM, where everything fades. The machine becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left, a body moving through space and time. 7000 RPM, that's where you meet it. You feel it coming, creeps up on you close in your rear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?" - Ken Miles. "Enjoy the butterflies. Enjoy being naive. Enjoy the nerves, the pressure. People not knowing you know all that stuff, because that's part of it. If you want to stand on the top from day 1, there's nothing to look forward to. Enjoy the process of making a name for yourself. Getting faster and faster with each lap. Meeting some great people along the way, a lot of worldly people who you can laugh with, learn from, enjoy some moments with." - Daniel Ricciardo. After a long and mentally exhausting Formula 1 season, Max needs a reset. He had pushed himself to the limit ever since he was a kid. It had resulted in great success for him, 4 world championships and himself now largely regarded as one of the greats. However with Lando winning his first world title, from being the hunted to the hunter, Max knows he needs to take a step back and enjoy some other aspects of life. With the 2026 season on the horizon, he doesn't know where he'll find those answers, little does he know they're closer than expected. Welcome to Unexpected! Set after the 2025 Formula 1 Season.

𝐓𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐒. 𝐓𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐒. 𝐓𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐒. 𝐓𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐒 poisoning *her* life. THE WORLD IS 𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐋 AND 𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐄𝐋. For an 18 year old male, Kenzo Reed, he has seen it all. The Evil and The Good. The Devils and The Angels. He watched his mother come across all sorts of hardships and miracles. From the back-breaking weight of a third job to juggle.. to the mistreatment and persecution she'd come across from appalling people. *Evil* people. The urge is growing stronger, and something has to be done-*will* be done. What's he going to do? He's going to ease his mother's pain. The wicked and the hurtful will be eradicated from the face of this depraved planet, all just for his mother. For "*Mommy*". She deserves happiness-relief-a breath of fresh air instead of the toxins of others she would forcefully breathe in. He will no longer resist the commands of the Voices. No longer will he dismiss the eager demons that linger in his darkly disturbed mind. He will go to 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐋 and back for her. All for *her*. Everything is for 𝐇𝐄𝐑. 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏. 𝐇𝐄𝐑. 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐘. Whatever it takes.

"Something's wrong with me, Bubble!" Caine hisses dramatically, floating back and forth in his office. "Every time she smiles, I glitch! My code jitters, my heart races... Wait, do I even have a heart?!" Bubble floats lazily. "Sounds like a crush to me," he says matter-of-factly. "A what?!" The Amazing Digital Circus's all-powerful ringmaster can bend reality with a snap of his fingers, but apparently not his own feelings. ~~~~~ Cover art by taikko (@_taikko_ on X)!!

As a military soldier, life at work could be very demanding and challenging. But that was the cost of being a good soldier. A good sergeant, in fact. However, with life threatening missions and sly tactics that lead you, your taskforce and your country to victory...you meet a soldier. A soldier who makes your working life much more challenging than before and threatens your main objective. What will you choose? Your mind or your heart. (This fic doesn't really follow the Call Of Duty storyline) (I do not own any of the character of the Call Of Duty franchise)

In Kortac, trust isn't given. It's earned - and even then, it doesn't last. You've been in long enough to know that. Long enough to be trusted with missions, with decisions...with people. Transfers aren't usually a problem. Until they assign one to you. König - silent, distant, and impossible to read. The kind of soldier who stays in the shadows...and makes you wonder what he's hiding in them. You weren't supposed to notice him. But he noticed you first. A mission gone wrong changes everything. One shot. One body. A truth that can't be told. With suspicion closing in, you're forced into an uneasy alliance with the one person you don't fully understand. The closer you get to the truth, the closer you get to him. In the shadows, trust is dangerous. But falling for him? That might be worse.
