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
