    Summary

    “Fuck off, Max. We are not having dinner, and you’re not staying over, and we are not having sex. We’re not doing any of that, because now I feel stupid. I pulled so much shit together for you.” Blue starts to bleed into his sterness, glassy eyes getting glassier, scowl a little less composed. “I spent so much time doing all these things I thought you’d like because we’re finally a couple, and I’m finally allowed to show you how much I care, and now it all seems stupid. I feel stupid. I want to go to bed. Please leave.”

    or

    Max is late for Valentine's dinner. He has to spend a lot of time on his knees to get on Charles' good side.

    Summary

    Charles knows that he isn’t supposed to have favourite clients, but unfortunately for him, he does: Franz_Hermann.

    Franz hires Charles for private calls on Thursday evenings. Well, Thursday evenings for Franz. For Charles, their session is usually on Thursday evenings, but sometimes it's more like: Thursday night, bleeding into Friday morning; or so early Thursday morning, that there's no point going to bed on Wednesday.

    Franz says that he travels for work. He says that his work is very stressful, and that he likes to go into the weekend as relaxed as possible.

    Charles categorically ignores that Franz’s work travel patterns always line up perfectly with the Formula 1 calendar.

    Then Max Verstappen is seen driving at the Nordschleife under the name 'Franz Hermann,' and Charles can't ignore the very connectable dots anymore.

    Summary

    Mr. Vettel hummed as he skimmed over the notes, nodding thoughtfully. Charles felt an odd sense of pride as he watched, fidgeting with the hem of his shirt. It was then when Charles noticed the haughty glimmering ring on Mr. Vettel’s hand. Married. Of course, he was. Charles couldn’t explain why he felt a stab of disappointment seep through him.

    or: Professor Vettel finds more than just intelligence behind the eyes of his newest thesis student, Charles.

    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.

    OR: The childhood best friends to lovers fairy-tale-soulmates fic that nobody asked for. Charles has been in love with Max since he was seven years old.

    Summary

    Charles, a fighter pilot for the French-Monégasque Armée de l'Air, is also second in line to the Monégasque throne. And, so what, if he has a crush on Max Verstappen? Even as a tifoso? And, so what, if Max Verstappen just bought him a drink?

    He's a trained, professional soldier who's done two tours in Afghanistan... He can be totally normal about this.

    (He cannot, in fact, be normal about this)

    (But that's okay, because neither can Max)
