Summary
How Max ended up enrolling in Mechanical Engineering instead of following the path set for him was something he didn’t fully understand himself. Maybe it was because he had developed a complicated, almost toxic relationship with the racing world—a love that bordered on hate, an obsession that was entwined with pain. Or maybe it was simply because it was the only thing he knew, the only thing he could control on his own terms.
Little does he know that the past always comes knocking at your door, when you least expect it, and somethings are meant to happen.Bookmarked by ardriv

Summary
Charles hesitates a second. What is he doing ? Maybe he shouldn’t click —But he’s not doing anything wrong? Right?
He clicks on the stream. Immediately he hears a couple of voices bickering. He can also see Max’s face in a little box.

Or; The 2024 season might just be the moment Charles and Max relationship becomes a little too blurry.

Summary
“Max,” he looked up again, the other driver shook a bag of almonds in front of him.
“I’m good, mate.”
“Uhuh, have a handful anyway.”
"Fuck off," Max replied, Charles really did bring out the worst in him.
"Hey," his voice firm, direct in a way that sent a jolt through the Dutchman.
"Have five. They'll help you focus."
Only Charles could make him feel guilty over some fucking almonds he really didn’t want.…really didn’t need.
He was so weak sometimes.

Max was a master of control. Of his environment, of his car, of himself... maybe that was the problem. It was exhausting to be in control all the time.
feat. Incomprehensible levels obliviousness, a complete lack of emotional intelligence, healing as a nonlinear and illogical timeline, and a long slow burn.

Summary
"Max doesn't know what to say. His eyes draw over every inch of Charles's face. His green eyes with brown specks, the sweat dripping down his face, his lips curled in a small smile... "If only you saw yourself the way all of us do. The way I do."
Max and Charles have been circling around one another ever since they can remember. Heading into the 2024 season, Max doesn't know if he can keep his feelings locked inside for much longer.
Canonically follows the entire 2024 F1 season, with chapters posted after every race.
