Summary
Charles lets his gaze wander through the apartment, taking in the details with that quiet curiosity Max knows too well. He stops in front of the trophies lined up on a shelf — the replicas of Max’s championships and the original, gleaming in the center. For a second, admiration flickers across Charles’s face. Max knows that look; he knows Charles wants that feeling someday, and part of him can’t blame him.
Charles turns, and Max sees a quiet smile on his face before it fades. “I, um… I received an invitation. From… The Invitation,” he starts, clearing his throat, and Max notices the nervous way his hands fidget.
“Ah, what an original name. Congratulations?” Max offers, barely containing a smirk.
Charles narrows his eyes, exasperation creeping in. “There’s a catch.”
“Do I even want to know?”
“They also invited you.”
Max’s expression morphs into an exaggerated look of shock, complete with wide eyes and raised brows. “Wow, what a shame, then.”
OR: Max and Charles are invited to appear together on a popular podcast. They have a lot to talk about and a lot of tension building up.

Summary
Now it's Max's turn to grin, wide and teasing and maybe a little too earnest.
"Well, somebody just told me that I’m going to be a world champion one day, and there's only one driver around here good enough to beat me, so I'd like to think he'll be there too."
It's silly, and hopeful, but Charles is beaming at him and it feels like a promise.
"Preferably in second place, of course."
Or: There are lots of ways to love Charles Leclerc, Max maybe learns all of them through the years.
Featuring: puddles, stargazing, unsolicited driving lessons, and the overwhelming fear of growing up.

Summary
“I'm the Inevitable, remember?”
Charles rolled his eyes, aware of the fact that their chests were still closely pressed together, their breathing now in sync and audible in the empty, darkness filled hallway. “Very funny, Max.”
“What? It's true! The predestined and the inevitable.”
“You make it sound like some weird destiny shit.”
Max shrugged. “Maybe it is, Charlie.”*

Summary
Charles lazily kicked the ball back. "I just can't believe I saw Max on Grindr."
"Forget about Max. What the fuck were you doing on Grindr, mate?"***
Charles and Max match on Grindr under fake names, each of them thinking the other one does not know it's them. Over one race weekend chaos ensues. They are being absolute dumbasses about it. Obviously.

Summary
“What do you think?” Charles asks, leaning back into the seat as he turns the laptop so Max can see the options.
“I think—” Max starts, “—that this can wait until after FP1.”
Charles’s lips curl downwards, and Max wants to kiss the look off his face. “There’s still like an hour until it starts. There’s no one even looking for me yet.”
That's a lie and they both know it—Charles’s phone had been going off like crazy until Charles pressed do not disturb and continued with his rant on why Kirgizstan is not an acceptable summer vacation destination, what the actual fuck Max.
