    Summary

    Oscar Piastri knows every single line of Lando Norris's face. He knows the exact tone of his laugh when he’s drunk, the weight of his tired body slumping against his shoulder in the early hours of London, and, above all, the excruciating pain of being just his best friend.

    ​Lando flirts, drinks, enjoys life, and always returns to Oscar's arms seeking shelter, having no idea that every casual touch breaks the Australian's heart a little more.

    ​A holiday trip to the seaside town of Brighton should have been just another week of fun among friends. However, things begin to get strange, and with a bed shared due to a lack of space, the line between friendship and desire becomes dangerously fragile.

    Summary

    Jos had always been like this. He rarely smiled at his son, rarely praised him — and even when Max took first place, he would still find flaws in him.

    And Max honestly tried to get used to it, to simply accept it. But his soul, flung wide open and still terrifyingly naive, still unformed, wouldn't let him lose all faith in his own father — this was, after all, his family, his own flesh and blood.

    Surely a father couldn't really hurt you? He only wanted what was best. He wanted Max to succeed.

    Never mind that the younger Verstappen hated karting. He was sickened by the garish decals plastered over the cars and the reek of motor oil. The helmet felt suffocating, yet terrifying without it. The track was a constant source of unease — but nowhere near as bad as standing two paces from his own mechanic, his own father.

    °

    alternative universe — teen, sixteen-year-old Max, traumatised by psychological abuse at his father's hands, is made to seek help from a therapist — where he comes face-to-face with the doctor's son — a boy, named Charles, so impossibly beautiful that Max almost forgets how utterly insufferable he is.

    Summary

    Oscar doesn't go to parties. He prefers evening shifts at the coffee shop, late night drives in his Mustang listening to his favourite music, and working on cars.
    Lando parties hard. He likes to make out with his best friend when they're drunk, race his car and spend his afternoons making art of all kinds.

    Lando is in a desperate need of a French tutor to pas one of his classes and one of his friends has a cousin who could provide him with the help he needs.

    One night, their worlds collide and they keep on mixing and pulling each other closer, until you can't tell one from the other. They are polar opposites, and perhaps that's why they can't stay away from each other.

    or

    oscar doesn't go to parties, lando parties hard,
    they have nothing in common, yet they're so alike.
    the sun wants the moon, and the moon wants the sun,
    those idiots are in love, but they make it really hard.

    Summary

    “Will you tell your fucking boyfriend to back off into turn 6!”

    “Will you tell your ‘best friend’…” The air quotes Max made with his fingers were just adding even more insult to the situation. “… that he needs to find a better fucking racing line into turn 6, and then he won’t have to make illegal defensive moves.”

    For a moment, Charles was stunned into silence, looking between the two of them. Max and Pierre had never been the best of friends, he’d admit, long before he and Max were ever dating. When Charles had first told Pierre about Max, he hadn’t been best pleased. Understatement. He seemed to remember that ‘really, Max Verstappen?! Of all fucking people?!’ was shouted at him about twenty times in so many minutes. It wasn’t even that they actively disliked each other, it’s just their personalities were chalk and cheese. Charles was that perfect middle ground that meant it was easy for him to love them both.

    He was under absolutely no illusions though, they’d never love each other.

     

    Max and Pierre are consistently fighting on track. Trouble is, they're consistently fighting in the paddock too. Charles, long suffering best friend and boyfriend, begins peace proceedings.
