Faded★

Fresh off a sun-drenched family getaway, eighteen-year-old rising tennis star Y/N is ready to conquer her own season-and protect her favorite person at all costs. For as long as she can remember, Carlos Sainz has been her anchor, her best friend, and her home. So when Lewis Hamilton takes Carlos's seat at Ferrari, forcing him into a fresh start at Williams, Y/N takes the move personally. Carlos might be taking the high road with ultimate professional grace, but Y/N? She's holding a grudge.
With her golden-retriever energy and fierce loyalty, Y/N resolves to make the paddock as chilly for the seven-time World Champion as humanly possible. Every sharp remark, cold shoulder, and sassy glare is meant to push Lewis away.
Instead, it completely hooks him.
Used to reverence, awe, and media hype, Lewis finds Y/N's stubborn refusal to play nice thoroughly entertaining. But as shared hospitality suites, private jets, and late-night hotel lounges force their paths to cross, the sharp hostility between them begins to crack. What starts as a petty paddock rivalry sparks into a dangerous, slow-burning fire-leaving Y/N torn between the unspoken feelings of the boy who raised her and the electric pull of the man she swore to hate.
