Summary
Max Verstappen to Mercedes? The paddock is buzzing. The media’s in meltdown.
Dr. Anastasia “Ana” Wolff, Mercedes’ notoriously brilliant, emotionally unavailable lead systems engineer and Toto Wolff’s eldest daughter, is not handling it well. Because Max isn’t just a potential signing, he’s the man she’s been sleeping with in secret for nearly a decade.
And if the rumours are true, and Max Verstappen really is joining Mercedes, then Ana’s carefully compartmentalised world is about to explode.

Summary
Isla MacLean had a solid life.
It consisted of her two dogs, Beag and Mòr, developing world-class video games, and a strictly pragmatic arrangement with Max Verstappen that required only two things: discretion and latex.
Friends with benefits. No drama. Zero complications.
Just the occasional hotel room, a mutual understanding, and the comforting lie that two functioning adults can actually keep anything "casual" forever.
Then, a condom breaks.
Now Isla has a problem that can't be fixed with caffeine, sarcasm, or burying herself in work.
Meanwhile, Max is discovering that "control" is a lovely concept right up until biology laughs in his face.Between the chaos of the paddock, two people who are well trained at dodging emotional honesty, and a future that refuses to stay quiet, their perfectly unlabelled setup starts to feel dangerously... real.
It's only a wee bit pregnant, after all.
What's the worst that could happen?

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.

“Why does me hanging out with him bother you so much?”
“Because I’ve given up almost everything for him out there on the track—but you? I’m terrified of losing you to him too.”
