    Summary

    There are rookies on the grid. Five new rookies, six if you include Liam. Max is absolutely including Liam into the roster, because he still looks so young and excited and nervous about his season, and he keeps spiking his hair up with some silly hair gel which then makes Max want to smooth it back down, and—

    There are six rookies on the grid. Which is totally fine, and Max is completely normal about. 100%, totally normal.

    It’s his fucking cat instincts that seem to have a problem with them.

    Or:

    In a world full of animal shifters, Max being able to turn into a cat shouldn't be that weird. It wouldn't be, if Jos hadn't spent Max's entire life convincing the world Max could turn into a lion and not a house cat. Now, Max is stuck wrangling both his cat instincts and six rookies while trying to not let the entire world find out his brand "Unleash the lion" is a lie.

    Somehow, Charles is involved in all of this. Max isn't quite sure how.

    Summary

    And in the press room, one of the journalists asked:

    “Lewis, are you surprised to be that unstoppable driver we all remembered?”

    Silence.

    Lewis leans slightly toward the microphone, intertwines his fingers, and smiles with that dangerous calm that always follows him.

    “Surprised?” he repeats slowly, letting the echo linger. “No. I just wonder why you’re surprised. I never left.”

     ...

    Where 33 year old Lewis Hamilton travels eight years into the future and finds himself surrounded by new faces and regulations. Oh, and apparently, he’s now a Ferrari driver and Charles Leclerc’s teammate.

    He also has to remind people who he is. A five (seven) times world champion. He’s not a “fallen legend,” thanks, Crofty.

    Summary

    “Apparently ‘Landoscar’ is climbing the ‘AO3 Top 100 Ships’ chart or something like that this year”, Oscar said, shaking his head in disbelief.

    Lando grinned: “Can you believe they’re coaching us on how to act more ‘shippable’? All so we can dethrone those two.”

    He nodded toward the far end of the table. Everyone turned to see Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen talking animatedly, hands flying, in other words Maxplaining and Leclarifying, completely oblivious to the conversation happening around them.

    From across the table, Ollie and Kimi yelled in unison: “LESTAPPEN?”

    Summary

    In a world where F1 drivers are magical creatures, the world champion’s trophy is coveted because it is filled with fairy dust. Champions can use their dust however they like, in their personal lives or by sprinkling it on themselves and their cars to help defend their titles the following season.

    In the midst of the heated 2021 championship battle, Lewis’ hard-earned abundant supply of fairy dust got stolen right from the Mercedes factory, leaving him with nothing.

    After losing his title and the difficult seasons that followed, Lewis goes to Ferrari with the hopes of proving everyone who says he only ever won seven titles because of fairy dust wrong.

    He has given up on ever getting his fairy dust back, but he wasn’t counting on the determined little Isack Hadjar, who suspects Red Bull of staging the burglary.

    OR

    Lewis said fairy dust in the driver’s parade and now we have this.

    Summary

    Max’s laugh is a beautiful symphony reaching his ears. He strokes his back gently as he watches his omega, with blue eyes twinkling and cheeks coloured in the most beautiful shade. Carlos is so enamored by him that he sometimes worries his heart might burst with how big his feelings are.

    or

    The one where Carlos and Max belong to each other.

    Summary

    This is embarrassing, Lewis thinks to himself, gripping his bathroom sink like it’s personally wronged him, You are so fucking embarrassing right now.

    His eyes dart down to his phone, with the infernal, awful app known as Instagram bright and blaring white, cold light across the bathroom tiled walls and ceiling, washing the room in the blinding, sharp awareness of Lewis’s own shame. George, or the photo of George that the man himself posted just a few hours ago, is smiling up at him. Lewis smiles back, unconsciously, before immediately catching himself and groaning. He hangs his head down, running his hands over his face and into his hair to grasp sharply at his braids.

    Get a fucking grip, man, Lewis thinks, a little disgusted, This is getting pathetic.

    Summary

    Honestamente nunca tuvo ganas de explorar su dinámica y si lo piensa un poco, tampoco contó con el tiempo para hacerlo ya que su preocupación a lo largo de su infancia y adolescencia se resumia en seguir corriendo.

    La temporada 2025 lo está enloqueciendo, y no en el buen sentido ¿Cómo es posible que ahora invierta parte del tiempo del sim racing en artículos para omega o que no pueda evitar sus instintos paternales con los "adultos jovenes" de la parrilla?

    Summary

    It would be so very tempting to just take the shards of glass and run it across his wrist, clean precise, neither of which the disaster of his race was.

    So lost in his thoughts he never hears the frantic knocks on the hotel door, he doesn't hear the beep and the loud crash of the door hitting the wall followed by squeak of shoes and a warm body dropping down next to him, glass crunching under denim clad knees, a strong pale hand grips his own and eases the glass out of his palm as it comes out coated red.

    Rossa Corsa, Ferrari.

    And the broken prince once promised of attaining greatness laughs and laughs and laughs.

    Summary

    Alex told them and they did not believe him, that on the 25th of May, he was abducted by aliens.

    No one believed him. He was naked and frantic, running down their little side street and away from the empty and open field where it happened. Multiple neighbours saw him and Alex can’t really blame them for being worried when they saw their 20-year-old neighbour – one they’ve known since he was a babe – run stark naked and yelling down the street. But instead of believing him, they thought he was on drugs.

    Summary

    Melbourne, 2025. The Australian Grand Prix weekend brings the usual heat, the noise of engines, and the watchful eyes of the paddock. On the surface, it’s just another race. Behind closed doors, glances linger too long, conversations take on sharper edges, and trust wears thin.

    Rivalries blur into something harder to name, secrets shift quietly between garages, and a few drivers try to keep their hands clean — or at least look like they have. The track might decide the points, but the real story is written in the spaces between.

    Summary

    Ollie thinks that being teammates with Esteban is, like, the coolest.

    It's not like Esteban is the best on the grid. She's great, better than most people give her credit for, and probably better than deserving fucking Haas (Ollie's grateful for the seat, but he's realistic, too. Haas has just barely made it out of the trenches financially, let alone on the track). She's not Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso or Max Verstappen or any other world champion, she's not even in contention for it. But there's just something special about her, something effortless and cool and alluring and attractive—

    “Ding, ding, ding!” Kimi says boredly, his speech patterns already ruined by George Russell and his Posh-isms, “We have a winner!”

    (Ollie has never had to deal with a devastatingly beautiful older woman for a teammate before. Cut him some slack, okay?)

      “Of course you’re not, bebe,” Esteban grins brightly, but her eyes are playful, cattish, and Ollie gets the creeping feeling that he’s in trouble, “How could I ever think otherwise? Tu es un vrai homme, n'est-ce pas? How lucky I am, aren’t I?”

      Ollie can barely catch the French, but he grasps it loosely. A real man you are, aren’t you? She had said, and now she is staring and Ollie— Ollie swallows, nods in agreement because he can’t think of anything else to say, and Esteban laughs, leaning into Ollie and wrapping her arms over his shoulders and around his neck in a tight hug. He grasps at the air, tentatively wrapping his arms around her waist, and he can feel her smile on his shoulder.

    Summary

    Inspired by the song Wish you were here by Pink Floyd.

    “We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year / Running over the same old ground / What have we found? / The same old fears...”
    He grabbed his phone. He didn’t know what he was doing, not really.

    He hadn’t messaged Charles in months. Not since before Melbourne. Not since everything had shifted, since the late-night chats in Monaco stopped, since the inside jokes turned into awkward nods in the paddock.

    He opened the message window and typed:

    📱 Wish you were here

      Bookmark Notes:

      Promising fic, unfortunately a bit too wistful w/o proper interaction between the two of them. Painstakingly slow, much like the path of progress Ferrari is making this season, if you can even call it progress.
