Finding Love - a carlando story
Lando Norris after experiencing severe bullying since he was a child, was completely closed off and introverted in his rookie year. While Carlos and Zak Brown tried to get him to open up, it was impossible. The quiet, practically small boy struggled, and while Lando has worked through some traumas and made friends, he was still stuck in his head, suffering silently, his mental health debilitating. Carlos Sainz is reeling from a horrific encounter with a fan at a bar, where she took advantage of his drunken state despite him not giving consent. He's a natural care taker, always worrying and help out others over himself. The Ferrari driver is helplessly in love with his best friend and ex-teammate, but can't do anything about it. But maybe he has a chance, especially when after the Miami Grand Prix, he finally starts to see that maybe Lando might like him back. A story where two people who can't find love find it with each other. This story runs parallel to my other story, Finding Home π€Complete

Foggy Mirrors | Max Verstappen
Max and Leanne had met quite inconveniently. Before either of them could talk or run away from the other, one of the perks of being the children of their fathers. And since a very fateful day in the sandpit at the nursery, all Leanne and Max did was try to best each other which had brought him to Red Bull and her to Mercedes. But despite their early blooming rivalry, feelings got in the way as they were teenager, leaving them with an ever-troublesome weakness for each other. But nothing of that mattered now in the year Leanne would finally beat Max and become champion of the world. If only her sister could have waited that one year before starting an affair with Checo Perez. Life would have been so much easier that way.Complete

And beating the other became a constant war they gave at every race. Or, maybe hatred never really consummed their hearts. So when Charles is announced to join Red Bull, things could take a turn neither of them were ready for. For the best, or for the worst. And maybe their story was written in the stars from the begining.
all the ways we stay - lewis hamilton
Elena Delacroix has spent her life building walls, convinced that love only leads to heartbreak. Lewis Hamilton lives under a spotlight so bright it makes real connection feel impossible. Neither is looking for anything. Neither is ready. But somewhere between stolen conversations, quiet nights, and the silent ache of loneliness, they find something neither expected: a reason to stay. This is not a love story built on grand gestures or perfect timing. It's built on the small, stubborn moments - the ones that hurt, the ones that heal, the ones that remind you some people are worth risking everything for. It's a story about trust, forgiveness, and the extraordinary courage it takes to choose someone - over and over again - even when the world tells you to walk away.Complete

Checkered Hearts-Lestappen
The past few years with Ferrari had been relentless for Charles Leclerc, and the new season promised no relief. Every podium, every headline, every lap pressed down on him, leaving exhaustion and isolation in their wake. Even amidst the chaos of the track, the pressure followed him into the quiet of his hotel room, where the fight to keep control felt endless, and no one truly saw... Max, his longtime rival, notices things no one else does. And despite themselves, the tension between them begins to shift. Between crashes, podiums, and endless competition, a fragile connection forms-one that challenges everything Charles thought he knew about rivalry, loyalty... and love.
Silver Lining, Scarlet Shadows | lestappen
Max Verstappen was built to win. But under the steel nerves and ruthless consistency lies a boy forged by fire, silence, and fear. Charles Leclerc shines in scarlet - on posters, podiums, and screens - but no one sees the bruises beneath the brilliance. Their story begins in silence and secrecy, threaded with tension on and off the grid. But when Charles crashes and everything stops, Max is forced to reckon with what he's been too afraid to name. A slow-burning journey of healing, secrecy, and love - in the paddock, on the track, and in the hidden corners of their hearts. This is not a fairytale. But maybe, just maybe, it can still end in gold. crossposted on ao3 as ReadNowSleepLaterComplete
