You are gone, and I am still your sin. Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc are enemies in Formula One. Their constant bickering, fighting and name-calling is the number one topic. They end every race weekend in the headlines with words bad for their reputations. One day there is a fight between the two on the podium, during the Dutch national anthem. The FiA finds this unacceptable, especially when complaints start coming in from the Netherlands, the country where the situation took place and the fans, so they, along with the principal of Red Bull and Ferrari, decide to give the guys an ultimatum. Either they will pretend to be friends in front of the press and all the fans, or they will be kicked out of Formula One without the possibility of returning. Will they agree to this?

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.

Gravity's Fool ✓ | Lestappen Sci-Fi AU | Max Verstappen X Charles Leclerc
A lestappen Science-Fiction AU ⚠️ Contains a few explicit chapters, trigger warning will be mentioned at each chapter. Somewhere between a collapsing moon, a suspiciously charming commander, who should have stayed in the past, something is very wrong with the galaxy. Max Verstappen swore he wouldn't get dragged back into the mess. He also swore he'd never speak to Charles Leclerc again. He's breaking both promises. There's a missing archive. A race nobody remembers entering. A ghost ship flickering through star systems like it's hunting someone. And whispers of a truth powerful enough to burn the universe clean. None of it makes sense. Especially not the way Max still looks at him. Charles wants answers. Instead, he's getting pulled into a storm of secrets, betrayals, and feelings he can't outrun. The galaxy doesn't have a safety net, and neither do they. 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘭, 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵, 𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬. Started: April 14, 2025 Completed: November 9, 2025Complete

Coins & constellation
Some things start with sparks. Others start with arguments over a vending machine. Lando didn't expect anything from the guy with the coins-least of all this. What starts as irritation turns into tension, then into something neither of them can ignore. They don't define it. They don't talk about it. They definitely don't make it easy. But lines blur. Kisses happen. Feelings get involved. And suddenly, "nothing" feels a lot like everything. Oscar doesn't do complicated. Lando doesn't do halfway. Too bad they ended up with both. A college AU full of angst, tension, accidental confessions, and soft moments that mean a little too much. Sometimes the hardest thing isn't falling. It's admitting you already did.Complete
My Banana Bubblegum - Bk 1
Thayu is learning how to carry silence, both at home and in school. The spaces where childhood should have been louder. Then, there's Malik, with his easy laughter, steady presence, and a warmth that arrives without asking. At first, their worlds collide minimally. Through shared moments, familiar corners, and a sweetness in the air that lingers longer than it should. But what begins quietly, grows steadily in the margins. Through walks that stretch too long, half-finished sketches, moments that almost happen, and feelings without names. Meanwhile, all around them, the world watches, friends linger and expectations hum as the future presses closer than either of them is ready for. My Banana Bubblegum is a slow-burn romance about closeness before confession, the ache of almost, and how some connections don't arrive loudly, they simply settle in, and choose to stay.Complete

Fated To My Bullies
Skyler was born an omega in a family of alphas. The runt. The protected one. The secret. His twin older brothers, Tyler and Tay, would've killed anyone who looked at him wrong. So he never told them about the human boarding school. About the lockers. The names. The nights he came home with bruises he called "clumsy." Until the day they went too far. The day that left him with nightmares, flinching at raised voices, and anxiety that chewed his ribs hollow. His family pulled him out. Brought him home to the pack. Enrolled him in a werewolf school where he'd be "safe." Then he met them. *Damion. Dominic. Damon.* Future alphas. Pack royalty. And his new bullies - except their teasing hit different. Their eyes lingered too long. Their growls sounded like possession. He hated them. He craved them. He told himself it was trauma. Then he turned eighteen. The bond snapped into place like a broken bone setting. *Mates. All three of them.* The same alphas who made his heart race for all the wrong reasons. Now Sky's terrified. Because omegas don't get three mates. And bullies don't get to keep the boy they broke. Right? _Omegaverse | Fated Mates | Bully-to-Lovers | Hurt/Comfort | Slow Burn | Why Choose_Complete
