Fralachi x Formula 1
In Formula 1, closing the gap can change everything
McLaren's future rests on the shoulders of two rising stars: Malachi Barton, the unstoppable rookie rewriting F1 expectations, and Freya Skye, the fearless newcomer making history as the first woman in the sport since 1976. Their first meeting was a blur of lights and cameras, forgotten almost as quickly as it happened. But when Freya is unexpectedly promoted to Formula 1 from F1 Academy, their worlds collide in a sport that questions her, challenges her, and pushes her to the edge. As the pressure mounts and the paddock turns ruthless, Malachi becomes the one person who refuses to let her fall behind. Together, they navigate a season of chaos, controversy, and impossible speed, closing the gap between teammates, rivals, and something far more dangerous.

Crash into me
Freya Skye has her life under control. Good grades. Loyal friends. No unnecessary drama. And definitely no more complicated relationships. Malachi Barton is the exact opposite. He's sarcastic, reckless, and somehow always at the center of trouble. Most people assume he doesn't care about anything-especially not school, rules, or what anyone thinks of him. So when Freya and Malachi start getting thrown together more and more, it should be simple. Ignore each other. Avoid the tension. Pretend the spark between them isn't there. Except pretending gets harder when teasing turns into flirting... arguments turn into late-night conversations... and the line between enemies and something else starts disappearing faster than either of them expected. Their friends see it coming from a mile away. Freya refuses to admit it. Malachi pretends it doesn't matter. But when two people crash into each other this hard, walking away isn't exactly an option. And some feelings? They happen way too fast to stop.Complete

Why can't I forget you?
Five years ago, Freya Skye and Malachi Barton were inseparable-high school sweethearts with dreams bigger than their small town. Freya wanted to sing, Malachi wanted to race, and somewhere between late-night drives and stolen kisses, life pulled them apart. The fight that ended it all still haunts her: words said in anger, dreams that demanded sacrifice, and a storming exit that left both hearts fractured. Now, Freya has made it as a singer-songwriter, performing on stages she once only imagined. Malachi is a professional F1 driver, traveling the world, living the adrenaline-fueled life he always wanted. Success hasn't erased the memories-they linger in lyrics she writes in quiet moments, in the flash of his laugh she remembers, in the ache she can't quite shake. When their worlds collide again, old feelings rise with a force neither expected. Freya sees the boy she loved in the man he's become; Malachi realizes the girl who always had his heart never really let go. Friends on either side-Sway and Meg for Freya, MK and Milo for Malachi-watch the sparks, the awkward tension, and the quiet longing, knowing this story isn't over yet. A story about love lost, success gained, and the lingering question that neither can escape: what if they had found a way to stay together? Based off of the song "WYD now?" by Sadie Jean NONE OF THIS IS REAL!! I DO NOT OWN THE COVER!!
