    Summary

    Max & Charles. A collection.

    i. prompt - jealousy.

    ii. The obligatory post 2022 French Grand Prix fic that I needed to write as personal therapy:

    He blinks the haziness out of his eyes as he takes in his new surroundings. Immediately, there is something strangely familiar about this place. The sun is just above the horizon, and he has to squint at the outlines of grass and asphalt in the distance.

    “This is -” he inhales sharply as realization sets in.

    There is an emptiness in his stomach that matches the emptiness in his chest even before he sees the large sign at the entrance: Circuit International du Val d’Argenton.

    Max tugs him along by his arm. “Come on,” he chirps brightly. “I called ahead. We have the track to ourselves for a few hours.”

    Summary

    “What are you doing?” Charles asked, his voice cracking.

    Max blinked at him once before he smirked and said, “Well... I was going to kiss you.”

    “Why?”

    “Because I want to.”

    “Why?” Charles repeated, feeling like his legs were going to give out.

    “Is that not a good enough reason?” Max asked.

    Summary

    Max stared at Charles’ closed eyes and how they twitched in his sleep. Objectively, Max knew that Charles was probably the most beautiful man he had ever seen. But... this was Charles.

    Charles Leclerc.

    Big, cry-baby Charles.

    Sauber #2 driver Charles.

    When did he decide that Charles The Driver would become Charles The Boyfriend?

    He wishes he could remember.

    Summary

    If he had to name the place where the story of Max and Charles began, if there was a moment that divided them into Before and After, there would be a few candidates.

    But there was only one correct answer. He would never forget the name.

    The place is called Val d’Argenton. Stories are still being written there.

    Charles likes to tell the story of the incident - turn by turn, infused with poetic drama, detailing every single emotion: frustration, anger, pure spite. Every time he tells it, his smile grows along with the laughter in his eyes, even as his words recount a tale of opposing emotions.

    “I never want to go back to Val d’Argenton,” Charles once confessed.

    “We’ll never go back there,” he promised, and Charles knew what he meant.

    Summary

    He pulls back reluctantly and misses the warm mouth almost immediately. Stars, he was doomed.

    “I want this too,” he tells Charles.

    “I don’t believe you.”

    He can be so infuriating sometimes, so contrarian. Some day, he might actually make Max lose his mind.
