"Home is where the heart is"
- that's always been true, at least until 2017. My life turned upside down when I didn't just lost my mom but my best friends too.
The move to Monaco.. a fresh start or a big mistake?
Leaving my life in Bristol behind.. a clean cut.. but maybe too clean ?
A new start, new friends was what I hoped for, but life is never on the same page.
So what should go wrong when I met someone who's life twisted around as much as mine..?
Was it faith or will my past catch up when I least expect it?

P1 in Your Heart | Lestappen Post F1 Romance | Max Verstappen X Charles Leclerc
⚠️ Mature Completed Story 18+ ✓ | This fic is set in 2030 Max Verstappen never expected to spend retirement surrounded by glitter glue, pancake disasters, and a five-year-old who thinks "overtaking" applies to bedtime. But here he is, an eight-time world champion turned grumpy dad haunting the karting tracks of his youth, wearing a hoodie of nostalgia and a frown that says please don't ask for an autograph. He's not here for closure. He's here because his daughter likes speed and because standing on the trackside hurts a little less than staying home alone with his regrets. Charles Leclerc didn't dream of coaching kindergarteners with oversized helmets and sugar highs. But a crash stole his career, and this karting track the fumes, the flags, the occasional crying parent is all he's got left. He smiles like it doesn't ache and teaches like he doesn't miss the rush. It's not the future he imagined, but it's something. They weren't best friends. Rivals? Sure. Occasional podium eye contact? Absolutely. But nothing ever happened, at least, not when it mattered. Now they're thirty-three, washed in nostalgia and worn down by everything unsaid. But when Max's hoodie ends up on Charles, when Lilly calls him her "other dad," when burnt toast becomes breakfast and stolen glances linger too long, maybe it's not about racing anymore. Maybe it's about healing. About family. About bad coffee and slow mornings and one last shot at something they never let themselves want. Maybe love doesn't roar at 200mph. Maybe, this time, it tiptoes in through the kitchen door. ~~~ I grew up on F1 but don't expect realism. Expect mess. Bad decisions. Vibes over plot. I have no idea how this happened. One second, I'm vibing. Next, I'm writing a Max/Charles fic with sad dad energy, karting trauma, and chaotic Carlando lurking in the background like gremlins.Complete
Horizon| L.N.4
Grief doesn't always come with funerals. Sometimes, it comes quietly-through the slammed door of an apartment you swore you'd never return to. Through the bruises that finally faded but left something heavier behind. Beatrice Piastri knew this kind of grief. The quiet kind. The kind you carry in your chest long after the world thinks you're fine. Leaving him hadn't been the hardest part. Surviving him had. Now, months later, she was back in the paddock-Oscar's little sister with a name of her own, finally trying to breathe again. She'd built a wall of armor out of silence and sharp smiles, convinced she didn't need anyone else. Until him. Lando Norris wasn't supposed to notice her. Not really. Not in the way he did. He had his own weight to carry: the pressure of a world watching, a team that expected wins, and a legacy he was still trying to build before the world decided he'd missed his chance. The fun, smiling front man of McLaren-charming, chaotic, untouchable-was just a shell on most days. Behind the jokes was a mind overclocked with pressure, self-doubt, and the unbearable demand to always be more. They weren't looking for each other. They weren't ready for each other. But broken things sometimes recognize each other in the dark. And when they do- They don't always fix each other. But sometimes, they make surviving feel a little less lonely. --- Based on te 2024 season, all referencese to people are purely casual.Complete

CRAWLING BACK TO YOU - Charles Leclerc [ff]
"You're dead to me, Charles," she gasped. "You promised, Mar!" he yelled after her. She came to a halt. Without a second glance, she replied, "And I've kept mine for way too long." -------- Margot has loved Charles since they were kids hitting the karting tracks and dreaming of futures bigger than their small heads could fathom. But when Charles became a driver in Formula 1, soaring through the ranks while people whispered his name in awe, the boy who once held her hand and promised forever disappeared into a world of speed, fame, and shallow affections-leaving Margot and her heart behind. To him, she is a memory of the past he can remember or discard at will. To her, he's the ache she can't forget and the betrayal she can't forgive. But when a single drunk dial and an everlasting heartbreak bring their lives crashing back together, Margot must decide whether the boy she loved still lives inside the man who broke her, and if her love is worth rebuilding from the shards he left behind. ❗content warning: strong language, mature scenes, death, panic attacks [FINISHED] ⚠️ This is a work of fiction!

Checkered Hearts [LESTAPPEN] - Tome II
The fall was just the beginning. 2024 ended in silence. 2025 begins in fire. Charles has his title. Max has his pride. Neither has peace. Six weeks without a word. No texts. No crossed paths. Just the Monaco winter and the weight of everything left unsaid. But Formula 1 doesn't pause for broken things-and when the new season ignites in Australia, there's no hiding from the truth: They are not strangers. They are not friends. They are something the sport doesn't have a name for. The paddock notices. The FIA watches. Rival teams sharpen their knives. Every interview is a minefield, every garage a battleground. The world wants a war. But wars have rules. This? This is chaos. They were fire and gasoline. It was never going to end quietly. ------------------------------ Find the associated playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3l2AjWHpWxNw7JWqiRL8Zq?si=J8Z-fTLHQTuIgR2sz-W3tQ&pi=e-BRDgo8NERNWe Note: The playlist is updated before each chapter release.

Blueprint For Love - Charles Leclerc
My entire life, I've been surrounded by people who always seemed better than me-my parents, both highly successful in their fields, and my younger sister, the golden child who could do no wrong. Even when my world fell apart months ago, my parents dismissed it, telling me I was overreacting. Walking away from my fiancé meant walking away from everything I knew-my stable relationship, my family, my dream career. In an instant, it was all gone. Now, I just want to find my way back-to be the person who stands on her own, who creates beautiful spaces without the weight of the past pressing down on her. What I didn't expect was for that journey to lead me to Monaco... and to a Formula 1 driver who would turn my world upside down.Complete

We had it all - LN4
Lando and Megan met when they were just ten years old, attending the same school. From the moment they crossed paths, they became inseparable - best friends in every sense of the word. At sixteen, friendship quietly turned into something more. They confessed their feelings and started dating, officially beginning what felt like the start of forever. For the next seven years, Megan stood by Lando's side as he chased his dream of becoming a Formula One driver. And while he pushed for podiums and pole positions, Megan pursued her own path, studying to become a physiotherapist. Together, they dreamed of a future - a home, a family, a life built on love and years of trust. But all of that shattered the day Megan returned to Monaco. She'd come back early - a quiet surprise after visiting family in the UK for a birthday. She walked through the door expecting everything to be as she left it. Instead, what she found tore everything apart. That was nearly four years ago. Now, Megan lives in the UK, raising her three-year-old son, Noah - her entire world. She's done her best to move on, to rebuild the life that once seemed lost. But fate has its own plans. At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, as engines roar and crowds surge, Noah slips from her grasp, darting off through the crowd. Megan chases after him - heart racing, calling his name - until she finds him somewhere he absolutely shouldn't be. In a restricted area. With someone she never expected to see again. And in that moment, as eyes lock and silence falls - everything changes. Because nearly four years later, the truth is about to come out. ---- Dual POV All fictional - don't take any storyline seriously or hate upon any characters.
