𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞
For the last five years of my life, I have devoted myself to my business; Shameless has become all I know. So when my best friend (and business partner) suggests we spend a year away from Shameless to rest and reset, I don't know what to do with myself. Nevertheless I find myself in Monaco, surrounded by the glitz and glamour of high rollers, the riches and the rewards; memories of a life I once loved. A life I once ran from.

Last season, my world began falling apart. My hopes and dreams were slipping through the cracks in my fingers. Now it's a new year, we have a new car, and I have an entire season to claim that championship title. I'd be a fool to let anything distract me from what I want most. And when I get a phone call from the girl of my dreams it seems that finally my luck is starting to turn. She may have disappeared from my life, but she's back, and I intend to keep her here. What I hadn't intended for however, was just how close she would bring my best friend and I.

It seems that for my entire life, my heart has been divided into two. I've never quite known how to channel their warring energies, and most of the time, it becomes all too overwhelming. Pair that with the fact I never understood when it meant to 'trust your gut' and instead have developed a dick/gut feeling, I'm a mess. I know what I want. I know who I want. I just have no idea how to bring the two ideas together so that we can all find our happily every after.

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete

Three years after losing her brother, Céline comes back to Monaco to stay with her childhood friends, but it's clear they they've grown plenty since they used to live next door. She finds herself dealing with new friendships, relationships and situations all on her own - without the help of her brother. Would her brother like who she fell in love with? Is her best friend going to be okay with it? The pressure from social media is tough, but she wants to believe she's tougher. Disclaimer 1: It is a long story about different issues and feelings or struggles you might meet as you're growing older, the main character does have a lot of anxiety and I've noticed that some people find her annoying at times, and I understand. Anxiety is annoying in so many ways, but even more so to the person suffering from it. While Céline is a ficitional character and won't see your comments or anything, other poeple with anxiety might. Be thoughtful when commenting, and if you can't relate to her at all then congratulations. (also some of her experiences are my own and how I thought, felt and acted lol I've gotten my feelings hurt in these comments a lot hahahha) Disclaimer 2: I don't speak French. Swedish or Italian, so the italics is the translation that I suggest you read instead of the French or Italian that might be there lol.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.

La loro non relazione è andata avanti per tempo, cancellato poi istantaneamente alla scoperta della verità. Lei voleva vincere, lui anche. La competizione fa solo del male alle relazioni. Così poi aveva deciso di trovare qualcuno, un altro. Le pareva semplice raccontarsi, facile e proprio per questo aveva lasciato che il segreto più grande che custodiva fosse condiviso. Ma aveva dannatamente sbagliato. Perché non bisogna mai fidarsi di nessuno. 🏎️ Estratto 🏎️ Mi preparai, scordando tutte quelle mezze parole, mezze verità, cercando di passare oltre lei.

He was the kind of man who didn't just take what, or who, he wanted, he took everything. One word is all it takes to want to fall to his feet, like countless before. He loved the chase, the thrill. Every time I think I'm out, he pulls me back in. I was addicted to the adrenaline, the rush of being near him, even when it destroyed me. I had never craved attention until I tasted his. So, once again I found myself in his twisted arcade. But this time winner takes all. ⛤Enemies to lovers ⛤Fake dating ⛤Bet trope ~ Same timeline as Lionheart ~Complete
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

CRAWLING BACK TO YOU - Charles Leclerc [ff]

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.
