    Summary

    Max turned just in time to see the boy from before—the one who had been helping Lewis move in—running towards him, panting heavily as he caught up. His backpack was falling off one shoulder, and his face was flushed.

    “Bonjour,” the boy greeted, switching to heavily accented English. “Je m’appelle Charles. You are Max, yes? We go to the same school.”

    “Uh, yeah,” Max replied, caught off guard by the rapid switch between French and English. He’d expected the boy to sound more British, like his father, or even German like Sebastian.

    “Do you want to walk with me?” Charles asked, his voice hopeful. “My dads told me not to walk alone.”
    Max hesitated. He glanced down the street where, in the distance, he could see both Sebastian and Lewis standing, smiling and waving at him and Charles. He bit his lip, looking up at the apartment complex, wondering if his dad was watching from the balcony. Finally, he nodded.

    “Okay.”

    Summary

    “Something wrong Maxy?”

    Max wrung his hands and shifted from foot to foot, staring at the blanket like it had offended him somehow. “I-” He faltered. His voice became small and quiet. “I don't know how.”

    “‘Don’t know how’ to what?”

    “Build a nest.” He was avoiding Daniel’s gaze, blue eyes firmly fixed on the floor between his feet. “I’ve never…I spent so long pushing who I am away that now…Daniel I think that I'm broken.”

    OR:
    Daniel is obsessed with Max's scent. Max won't build a nest. Daniel buys him a blanket and Max has a breakdown about it that leads to him going into heat.

    Summary

    “It is okay, Max. I am glad that you called me. Please, tell me what is wrong. Is it your father?” 

    “Can you pick me up?” He blurts out. 

    There’s a beat of silence. “Where are you?” 

    “Roermond Police Bureau. In the Netherlands. I called my mother but she did not answer and I did not know who else to call. I am sorry I know this is not what you meant when you said to call you I just-”

    “Are you okay?” Sebastian cuts in, “Why are you with the police?”
    ---

    Jos is arrested. Max doesn't know who to call. One person finally picks up.

    Summary

    Daniel wakes up to the sound of Max hyperventilating. It’s still dark outside, the room lit only by the glow of the kangaroo nightlight. He looks at Max, who’s sitting up in bed. “Max?”

    Max gasps and starts repeating, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” over and over. He sounds terrified.

    Max was little when they went to sleep, but Daniel’s pretty sure this is adult Max. However, he has no idea what’s going on. He moves closer to Max, but Max cowers away from him and brings his hands up to protect his head.

    Fuck. Maybe another nightmare? Daniel slowly sits up and his leg touches a wet patch.

    Oh, fuck.

    Or: Maxy wets the bed when Daniel's in the bed too. Max doesn't handle it well.

    Summary

    Oscar's nest is, objectively, embarrassing.

    He knows this. He's always known this. It's the kind of thing he's never let himself look at too directly, the way you don't look directly at a bruise you keep pressing anyway — the wrongness of it sits in the peripheral of his self-awareness, tender and purple-edged.

    Summary

    Max Verstappen learns early that survival is a helmet covering the softest parts of his face, a silence you don’t test, a love you earn by being compliant. Years later, the grid decides he’s too violent to be accepted, until the small wrongness of Max's actions begin to stack, and someone finally looks long enough to see what’s been hiding in plain sight. This is about the shape of a childhood you can’t outrun, and the terrifying and fragile beginning of Max being met with more instead of less.

    OR: The grid rejects Max in 2015 before realizing he was shaped by abuse.

    OR: If you relate to Max Verstappen and wonder what it was like coming into F1 as a kid with an abusive father—read this.

    Summary

    But that still doesn't mean Max is pathetic. It only means he has a few things that could be corrected, like the issue of his height being fixed by having him on his knees, or the issue of him having too much to say being fixed by preventing him from using words at all.

    Dogs don't walk on two legs. They don't talk, either. 

    Max isn't a dog. 

    Yet here he is, on his knees, collar in mouth, hiding in the hallway and wondering what would be the best way to approach George. 

    George buys a collar as a joke. Max takes it seriously.

    “You can’t embarrass us like this, Timothy,” Mr. Drake quietly started to scold, before they were out of earshot.

    “I think we should talk to Bruce,” Jason said next to him, voice cold and eyes hard from where they were fixed on Tim’s back.

    “Yeah,” Dick said softly. “Yeah, I agree.”

    Summary

    In 2015, when Max first joined F1 as a fresh-faced rookie, the pack shut him out because of the wrongness and temperament that existed on him like a second skin. In 2025, Max has mellowed out and the pack, specifically the rookies, begin coming to him. Whether they are tired, angry, hurting, or unsure, Max never says no. He doesn’t weigh the risks of involving himself with a pack that doesn't claim him; he only registers that someone needs something, and that he knows how to give.

    Layered on that, Max has a secret that the pack doesn’t know nor understand but they begin to circle it. It lives in the way he goes still when certain voices drop, in how his eyes glaze when someone gets too close, in how he never asks for anything and how every so often he'll disappear and return as a ghost.

    OR: The 2025 rookies get attached to Max very quickly, pulling him into grid pack dynamics. Unfortunately, Max was cut from the pack in 2015 by Lewis and he still doesn't accept him. Now that Max is getting closer again, the grid is starting to notice something is very wrong with him.

    *New Christian Horner allegations raise questions at Red Bull*

    The article title still doesn’t mean anything to him, so he keeps reading

    "Christian Horner’s sudden exit from Red Bull has drawn much speculation. . . A reliable source has come forward with new accusations. . . Even more disturbing is the alleged past sexual relationship with an underage team member at Red Bull."

    George feels the color drain from his face. He snatches the phone, scrolling through the rest of the article. The name of the supposed underage team member is never stated, but as far he’s aware Max is the only one in the team's history.
    ---

    Secrets brought to light make life miserable for Max. George helps him cope the best way he knows how.

    Summary

    Sweet Child O’ Mine by Guns N’ Roses plays when the stranger does step in, maybe a little after 7:30. They've only been officially open for a few moments, so he doesn’t hear the bell jingle, fully immersed with singing along at a low volume.

    “Am I interrupting something?”

    Sebastian does not shriek, nor does he screech or scream or whatever you could describe the noise that escaped him. He turns around frantically from where he was setting out pastries, scrambling for his phone to turn the volume down.

    “Oh mein Gott.” He breathes, pressing his lips into a thin line. “How’d you get in here so quietly?”

    or
    Sebastian might have a small crush on a customer. Maybe he’s trying too hard, opening early, bringing back retired items on the menu. He doesn’t mean to kidnap a kid with said crush in the process.

    (There’s no way Sebastian could overlook bruises upon bruises. The real problem is trying to convince Max that he doesn’t have to bear those on his own.)
