Title: Cold Smoke
Genre: Enemies-to-lovers, Fake Dating, Formula 1 Romance, Angst, Slow Burn

When scandal threatens to ruin Carlos Sainz's career, Ferrari turns to an unlikely savior: "Mika
Novák", a 22-year-old Czech engineering prodigy with ice in his veins and trauma buried so deep it's calcified into silence. Mika, famously private and pathologically cold, agrees to a fake relationship with Carlos-for cash. Not for love. Never love. The money is for his mother, the only person left in his life he hasn't abandoned.

Carlos, on the other hand, is warmth personified: charismatic, reckless, full of sun and stupid grins. He thrives in chaos. Mika is allergic to it. And yet, the more time they spend together, the more the lines between fake and real begin to blur.

Mika smokes through the tension. Carlos jokes through it. But beneath the carefully constructed lies are secrets, bruises that never healed, and the aching gravity of two men orbiting each other-dangerously close.

Cold Smoke is a sharp, emotional, and addictive romance about healing in the unlikeliest places, finding softness after violence, and how even the coldest hearts can be set on fire.

Enemies. Fakes. Lovers. Eventually.

Charles Leclerc, Monaco's ice-cold prince, wears strategy like armor. Max Verstappen, the Italian-Dutch heir with a temper as wild as his fists, bows to no one. Forced together by a shaky alliance after Lewis is betrothed to Max's sister, their rivalry ignites into something far more dangerous.

Design His Wings [Max Verstappen]

43 parts Complete

He races for Red Bull. She designs his wings. Falling for each other? That wasn't on the grid. She's the aerodynamicist every team wants. He's the driver no one can catch. What starts as flirty banter in the garage turns into late nights, stolen glances, and a tension that no diffuser can fix. Love doesn't follow regulations. And neither does Max Verstappen. Quick author note; Heyy, so first time writing a fic, no idea what I'm doing. But I promise it gets better in the later chaps. First few are definitely a bit boring cus it all slowly builds up. This is slow-burn with fluff, and no smut.
