Max Verstappen, a three-time world champion from the Netherlands, is known for his fierce determination and brutally honest demeanor. But beneath his tough exterior lies a past shadowed by an abusive father and an inability to express his emotions. On the other side of the paddock is Charles Leclerc, the first openly gay driver in Formula One, whose warmth and compassion shine bright against the backdrop of a sport often steeped in tradition. After bravely coming out over the winter, Charles seeks to inspire others while grappling with the challenges of acceptance in a world that can be unforgiving. As the new season kicks off at the Bahrain Grand Prix, their paths intertwine, leading to an unexpected friendship that blossoms into something deeper. Together, they confront not only the pressures of racing but also their own insecurities and fears. With the roar of engines and the thrill of competition as their backdrop, Max and Charles must navigate the complexities of love, acceptance, and the courage it takes to be themselves in a world that demands conformity.

It's two minutes past midnight. Max is the head chef of the restaurant downstairs; Charles is the playboy neighbor upstairs who brings a different woman home every night. ​It's a routine they know by heart: the date fails, the woman leaves, and Charles stumbles down to Max's kitchen, hungry for pasta and comfort. To Charles, Max is just the grumpy best friend who fixes his mess. To Max, Charles is a beautiful, oblivious chaos. ​Max plays his part perfectly: he cooks, he listens, and he swallows his jealousy. ​Max can make breakfast exactly how Charles likes it, but he can't make Charles love him back

Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen. What lay between them wasn't hatred; it was a consuming obsession, far more dangerous than love. Two rivals who knew the rhythm of each other's breath by heart. But when a crash shattered not only Charles' body but his soul, everyone thought the legend was over. But Max Verstappen was not the kind of man to let his favorite obsession fade away. This is not a story of pity. This is the story of a rival who drags the broken man from the wreckage, forcing him back to his feet-not to destroy him, but because he cannot exist without him. No mercy. No apologies. Only asphalt, blood, and a devotion that bleeds into love.

He never expected to find love in a dangerous viking. Prince Charles had grown up in a world of isolation but what would happen if an attack upon his home would lead him to the world of the vikings.

A lestappen Science-Fiction AU ⚠️ Contains a few explicit chapters, trigger warning will be mentioned at each chapter. Somewhere between a collapsing moon, a suspiciously charming commander, who should have stayed in the past, something is very wrong with the galaxy. Max Verstappen swore he wouldn't get dragged back into the mess. He also swore he'd never speak to Charles Leclerc again. He's breaking both promises. There's a missing archive. A race nobody remembers entering. A ghost ship flickering through star systems like it's hunting someone. And whispers of a truth powerful enough to burn the universe clean. None of it makes sense. Especially not the way Max still looks at him. Charles wants answers. Instead, he's getting pulled into a storm of secrets, betrayals, and feelings he can't outrun. The galaxy doesn't have a safety net, and neither do they. 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘭, 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵, 𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬. Started: April 14, 2025 Completed: November 9, 2025

Two princes. Two crowns. One secret that could change everything. Prince Max of the Netherlands-reserved, dutiful, and constantly questioning his place in the world-escapes incognito to the Mediterranean, hoping to find peace in solitude. He's come to terms with the idea that true love may never fit into his royal future. Prince Charles of Monaco is his complete opposite: charming, reckless, and trapped in the image of a playboy prince. Reeling from a heartbreak he can't shake, Charles seeks refuge far from the cameras and expectations. When a booking error forces the two royals to share the same luxury villa, tensions quickly rise. At first irritated by each other's presence, they soon realize they share more than just walls - unspoken fears, secret desires, and the weight of a legacy that makes love feel impossible. A modern royal tale about unexpected connection, identity, and the courage it takes to follow your heart-no matter the crown.
