    Summary

    Charles opens the door in his work out shorts and giant hoodie, half of his hair smooshed to the side of his head while the other sticks straight up. He's frantically trying to smooth it with one hand as he swings the door wide with the other, but gets distracted by Max standing there, red-cheeked and trying to pretend he isn’t panting.

    The cloud of rainpancakesearthsyrup floods into his apartment, making Charles blink dazedly. It’s so fucking good. He can’t help but gasp a bit, surprised.

    Max takes a final deep, almost heaving breath and shoots his arm out straight in front of him, a dark blue hoodie clenched in his fist. “Here.”

    Charles doesn’t reach for it. He eyes Max, the sheen of sweat along his hairline, the fit of his relatively but not egregiously skinny jeans.

    “Did you—did you run here?”

    Max grimaces a little, then shrugs. “Brought this for you.”

    *

    Charles has spent the last 28 years highly sensitive to smell, usually to the detriment of his own well-being. So what if Max’s presence—and scent—have always helped with that?

    So what if this is the year Max finally notices?

    Summary

    “I could be your three out of three.”

    When Shane blinks at him, Rozanov pushes his hair back, curls bouncing back wetly.

    “I am an alpha, yes? And I am single. Sometimes, I am asshole. This I admit. Charming asshole, but still asshole. But I would–for you, I would be nice.”

    Shane Hollander has a plan for his first natural heat in five years: Hayden’s couch, strict boundaries, and absolutely no complications.

    The plan did not account for Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    Singapore is forty degrees and ninety percent humidity, which does brutal things to scents. Charles has managed the paddock all weekend on suppressants and careful mouth-breathing, navigating the amplified pheromones through sheer Monegasque stubbornness. Then Max Verstappen walks past during the driver's parade, and managing stops being an option.

    Scent-drunk in front of twenty thousand fans and every camera in Formula 1, Charles has two choices: fall apart publicly or accept Max's blunt, completely unsolicited offer to help. Biology has never once cared about professionalism. And Max smells impossibly, infuriatingly right.

    Summary

    Max has had minimal sexual experiences in his life, and none of the Alphas he has been with have ever left him truly satisfied.

    Charles may just be the one to change that for him.

    Summary

    This isn’t like Austria 2019, when Charles couldn’t even look at Max after he’d been pushed off the track in the last lap. Max is all smiles, not a single care in the world that both of their floors are definitely damaged beyond belief due to running each other off the track.

    Three times each, no penalties deployed.

    Charles manages to spray Max in the face, who’s eyes close as his entire body jerks, curling slightly in on himself. This raises his arms and Charles gets another eyeful of champagne. He yelps, and some of the sparking wine drips down into his mouth.

    Max and Charles both open their eyes at the same time, and dissolve into laughter.

    Summary

    Did you hear?
    At Val d'Argenton Charles Leclerc drove Max Verstappen into a puddle after the chequered flag. Yeah, and they were fighting behind the garages. You know how they are: screaming, shouting, the works. Then they just stopped.
    True.

    Did you hear?
    Charles presented as an omega at Val d'Argenton.
    True.

    Did you hear?
    Verstappen bit Leclerc to shut him up.
    That's not true! I didn't do that.

    Did you hear?
    Charles bit him back.
    That's not what happened!

    Did you hear?
    They're bonded now.
    No! Well... Kind of. But No! I'm not his Alpha!

    Summary

    His birthday comes and goes. He sees his family, hangs out with friends, Sapnap comes over and they spend the entire weekend gorging on food and playing games together like they’re nineteen again. There’s a barrage of fanart and excited messages flooding his mentions, and while it’s a lot less than at the height of his career, it’s still enough to make his phone practically useless from how the notifs keep popping up.

    George shoots Dream a text wishing him a happy birthday in the early morning. It stings like it does every year and that stubborn part of him, the one that’s been growing stronger, harder to ignore now that he’s been letting it get a voice inside Dr. Luz’s office, demands him to fix this.

    There are a lot of things Dream wishes he had done differently, but the way he let George slip through his fingers is perhaps the one that haunts him the most.

    Or: Dnf and the long winding road towards forgiveness

    Summary

    George was born without a second gender, apparently.

    Not that it matters much to him, it's not like he's missing out on a whole lot.

    Sure, he'd like to be able to smell Dream's scent; to know him on that one deeper level that he simply can't access, but it's fine! He's just George and it's fine!

    He can still pine after Dream wistfully without a second gender. He can still be hopelessly and helplessly in love. It's not like Dream's ever not been there for George when he needs him.

    However, does that still apply when George gets sick in the most unexpected way possible?

     

    Or; George is a late bloomer and that makes already messy feelings between him and Dream even more difficult to navigate.

    Summary

    Lewis shrugs, "You probably have more in common with the kid than you think. You're both vampires, for one."

    Charles laughs, "Good one, LH"

    Lewis doesn't join him, "Why would I be joking about this?"

    Charles rolls his eyes, "Because if Kimi Antonelli is really a vampire, I would have to talk to Mercedes about starving their drivers." he jokes. Lewis goes very still. Charles thinks this joke is going a bit too far.

    -

    OR, Kimi Antonelli was bitten and turned as a baby. His family are horribly misinformed about vampire biology. It takes eighteen years and a very pissed off vampire Ferrari driver for Kimi to finally feast.

    Summary

    What begins as a character study of his seasoned, decorated new teammate quickly curdles into obsession when Lance Stroll starts untangling the chronology of Fernando Alonso’s life. It’s pathetic, really – how badly he wants to anchor himself to Fernando’s narrative, to become more than just another pit stop in his restless teammate’s career.

    Despite the marriages and the parade of high-profile relationships, Fernando Alonso has never been in love. For a man who lives and breathes racing, both on and off the track, he’s always taken this as a feature, not a flaw. Yet there’s something disarmingly intimate about Lance’s insistence on combing through his life, as though the act itself could stitch him into it.

    Charles Leclerc was born dead.

    The chances of turning, being able to metabolise vampire blood after death, average around the world at 85%. For stillborns, whose bodies have yet to create any neural links, the chances of success are low.

    He is lucky it worked.

    After the chaos of the 2023 Australian GP, news broke that FIA’s most recent batch of heat suppressants had been tampered with. While the grid is put on lock-down so the situation can be fully investigated, each team is assigned a motorhome for their drivers to share. The situation would have been awkward enough on its own, but to make matters worse, Lance’s first heat is fast approaching.

    “Are you actually dating Taylor Swift?” Lance asked. He knew it was the kind of story that went around Formula One circles when they went three weekends without an F1 race.

    He wondered if Fernando would give a teasing non-answer to him like he did to everyone else.

    “No. I have never met her. You know how the fans and the media make story. You have better chance with her than me.”

    “What?” Lance asked. That wasn’t what he expected to hear.
