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

⚠️ If you choose to read this text, please treat it as a story about violence-something to be seen, named, and condemned, not affirmed. ⚠️ At St. Augustine's School, everything has its hierarchy-from the names carved into marble plaques to the seating in the cafeteria. Charles Leclerc, a scholarship student from a working-class family, knows that surviving here requires perfection. He has the talent, ambition, and determination to rise out of poverty. Max Verstappen, on the other hand, has everything Charles could envy: a name, power, money, and the loyalty of the school's elite. Between them grows something neither of them can understand-a mixture of desire, fear, and fascination that leads them to the edge of a precipice. In a world where the line between love and violence blurs more with each passing day, both will have to look in the mirror and ask themselves: can you love someone who has torn you apart piece by piece? And can you save someone who has never learned how to ask for help? ⚠️ Content Warning: ⚠️ This story pushes moral boundaries and addresses heavy, potentially triggering themes, including violence, toxic relationships, homophobia, manipulation, unrequited love, loneliness, and grief. It also contains vulgar language. The author's intent is not to glorify or normalize any form of violence. Every difficult, painful, and uncomfortable scene is purposeful-not meant to shock, but to highlight real issues many people struggle with in silence. All depicted situations are fictional.

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.
