    Summary

    “Oh my god, he’s going to take out Verstappen.”
    ---
    "Let me make this clear, Sonny,” Leclerc spat his name mockingly, voice dropping lower, his accent becoming thicker, “you’re only on this grid because your friend is an idiot with too much money. You don’t have the skill to be one of us, and so you’ve turned to reckless idiocy as your only strategy. I don’t care what you do in last place, because it’s where you belong and you’re away from everyone else, but if you even think about going after Max again?”
    Leclerc leaned closer, his green eyes blazing as his voice dropped to a cold whisper. “I’m going to make you regret ever coming back here. You think the media hates you now? You think it’s bad now?” He laughed cruelly. “You won’t be able to leave the damn bathroom without being attacked. Your name will be dragged so thoroughly through the mud that no racing team will accept you. You’ll never race again, professionally or recreationally. Anywhere.”

    Or:

    Sonny Hayes thought he had figured out everything in F1, including Max Verstappen. He had not figured out Charles Leclerc, Scuderia Ferrari racing driver.

    He learns that the hard way.

    Summary

    When Kotallo lost his arm, it was more than just a limb that he had lost. It was his prowess with a bow. It was his utility as a Marshal. His arm was gone, his life a ruin, and nothing would ever be the same.

    It did not occur to him that this could be a good thing.

    It did not occur to him that he could find new purpose in his life. It did not occur to him that an outlander with hair like blood and a spirit as fierce as blazefire would help him find that purpose.

    With Aloy as his witness, Kotallo would find himself again, and nothing would ever be the same.

    ********************
    In other words: a wish fulfillment fic where Aloy and Kotallo fall in love over the course of the game. Canon scenes and dialogue blended and padded out with introspection, cozy conversations, smut, and all the GAIA Gang bonding that we deserved. ❤

    Summary

    “I could get you a penguin,” Lewis suggests and Nico throws him a glare. “I do not want a penguin.”

    “It’s a good support for less experienced skaters-“

    “I do not need a penguin-“

    “They offer great support-“

    “I’m not a child-“ Nico loses his balance and Lewis quickly reaches out to stabilise him, trying very hard to stop the grin that’s making its way on his face.

    Summary

    Max Verstappen, a multi-time world champion, shocks the racing world by announcing his retirement. Charles Leclerc is furious, storming into Max’s home demanding answers.

    “What happened to racing together for the next 15-20 years?!” Charles doesn’t even know why he's so upset—he only knows something feels wrong. Max, a little perplexed but calm as ever, simply offers, “Drive for Red Bull.”

    Charles is stunned, the anger momentarily forgotten. “I don’t want to race for Red Bull if you’re not there.”

    Max’s response? A cryptic, “Who says I wouldn’t be?”

    Completely thrown off, Charles snaps, “You’re confusing me, Max!”

    Max’s grin widens. “You want to win, right?”

    Charles scowls. “Yes, but with Ferrari—and against you.”

    Max shrugs. “That’s not gonna happen. Even Lewis couldn’t get his 8th in a Ferrari. But you could win with me.”

    “Stop talking in riddles, Max!”

    Max steps closer, lowering his voice. “Race for Red Bull, and I’ll be your engineer.”

    Now it’s Charles who’s speechless.

    “I tell you what,” Seb says. “If you can convince Mattia this lunacy is a good idea, I’ll do it.”

    “Promise?”

    Summary

    On the drive back to the hotel Max had turned to him, blue eyes fierce and piercing.

    “Promise me you won’t stop being angry. You’re angry because you know what you can do. Use it, control it, let it fuel you. Other people won’t understand but that doesn’t matter, you know what you’re capable of.”

    You and me, he’d seemed to say, we’re the same.

    Charles wonders now how he ever thought Max wouldn’t understand.

     

    Or: Charles leaves Ferrari, tries to win a championship, and learns some things about belonging. All the while, Max is there.

    Summary

    Summary

    Max Verstappen, a Formula One Driver born and broken for the sport, has known many things in his life. But racing? It was practically part of his anatomy, it laced his veins and bloomed in his lungs, it was all he was, all he would ever be. There was nothing that he hadn’t done, nothing that he hadn’t already given up, for this sport.

    The three-time World Champion was no stranger to how harsh their secluded world could be.

    One is the loneliest number there ever was, and even the top step isn’t stranger to the cold.

    An all too familiar darkness tends to consume the raging storm that’s been brewing for years, but the burning sunset might just be his salvation yet.
