Bookmarker's Notes
Then the braking zone becomes a negotiation between two cars that are both correct about their right to the space and Charles is the space, is the thing being negotiated over, and Max brakes, the hydraulic pressure in the calipers spikes and the right front flat spot goes from four hertz to six that is a sustained microwave and the apex kerb comes up and Max uses every centimeter of it and the impact arrives through the right front suspension like a thumb pressed into a fracture that was already a fracture. Charles’ rear left is at ninety-eight degrees and leaving layers of itself corner by corner by corner, and Max has closed the gap to Lewis back out to two seconds and is throwing RB-Charles across the apex, towards Lewis—
No. Good Gracious Holy Almighty. Max’s inability to compromise should be laid at the feet of Jos who had spent one hundred and seven Grands Prix discovering fresh ways not to win them. What did any of that have to do with him? What responsibility did he bear for that physical inheritance and method and the specific refusal to yield that accumulates in a person when yielding has never once produced the required result? Why him? It’s 2021. 2021 is the year of Ox. Why can’t it start properly by castrating a bull, as the stars surely intended?
wonderful and fascinating and twisty... sensational which i'm invoking with all its meanings. cannot wait to uncover more of these perfect godly s-tier tags. also: fics that make you go "oh fuck 2021 WAS the year of the ox!"

Bookmarker's Notes
In the morning, Max woke up to a barrage of texts from Kelly calling him everything from a miserable cunt to a joke. There were some really creative insults in there, and he thumbs upped all his favourites. To all the ones in Portuguese he reacted with a heart because he thought they sounded hot.
each of the stories in this series is amazing and then as a pairing they're AMAZINGGG, all-caps with three g's. greatest to ever do it lewis characterization, hilarious wonderful prose on a line level, and you can't read three words of the max pov without grinning to yourself. max and lewis are not on the same page to a magical extent: I could live forever in the chasm between how max sees lewis and how lewis feels about max.

if you're still using default AO3 I am, on hands and knees, begging you to click through and at least look at the previews here to see what life could be like. what your beautiful goddamn life could be like. i'm done gatekeeping i'm evangelizing instead. don't be daunted by the setup, it's explained so wonderfully and it's really so easy... pspsps don't you want (gorgeous!) autoswitching dark/light themes... and in the comments raven even explains how to make cute symbols show up after currently active tabs, and tags... what could be better on this earth!!

Bookmarker's Notes
Max's scent snaps up at him viciously. Lewis does not flinch; he takes a small step back. 'I did want it,' Max says, very low and very quiet. 'You are saying you did not? Because this would be the second time you imply.'
'No, you're... not listening,' Lewis says, shaking his head. He keeps talking and cutting Lewis off before he can properly explain.
for soooo many reasons I think max/lewis is the hardest lewis ship to write that I could possibly imagine, let alone doing it in a plausible, graceful, manner, affording lewis dignity and max depth. it gives me hives to think about, the sheer scope of what you'd have to keep in mind, how delicate all those threads are. the existence of this fic is miraculous and amazing and when I try to think about what it achieves I get a headache !! wow !!!

Bookmarker's Notes
“You gonna hit me again if I do this?” Max asks, one hand fisting the racing suit fabric at George’s waist, the other gripping his jaw, angling George’s chin so he can take his bottom lip between his teeth on the next kiss, dragging light and then letting go with a pop. George murmurs his maybe, yeah, against half-parted lips that stretch into a grin, leaving George kissing teeth. “Good, I liked it. I pressed my fingers into the bruise you left while I jerked off, until it hurt again.”
