Summary
⚠️ Mature Story 18+
Max Verstappen has it all on paper. A four-time World Champion, fame, speed... but inside, he's unraveling. Sleep-deprived, stressed, and terrified of disappointing his father, Max is at his breaking point. His best friend Daniel insists he see a psychologist, so Max secretly books an appointment. Only to run into Charles Leclerc, his childhood karting rival, and Monaco's top sports psychologist.
Old memories resurface, walls come down, and boundaries blur. Max has never needed someone like him before, and Charles has never forgotten the boy who once raced by his side. But falling in love with a client isn't supposed to happen... is it?
Fast laps, therapy sessions, childhood grudges, and forbidden love collide in this story about healing, trust, and the risk of letting someone in.
A short lestappen AU with a blending of psychology, racing, and romance.

Summary
The flannel was draped over his face, and the coolness seeped into his skin. Max, once again, was shrouded in darkness. He took deep breaths in through his nose, exhaling the best he could. It was an attempt to catch his breath before it was forcefully taken away.
Plastic crinkled. The bottle gurgled as it was filled up. Then, without prior warning, cold water was being poured over his face slowly. Methodically.

Summary
He feels the sense of time creep up at the back of his neck. Like an itch placed at the part of your back you can't reach. It's there, and it spreads through the rest of his body as he feels the dread pile up and block his airways. He can't breathe. Never realised what he needed to be able to see, how a couple simple words would change his life. For the better, he'd argue in hindsight, but right now it was like nothing he had ever experienced. So his body did what it did best, even if his mind decided something else, he panicked.
This time, however, he wasn't alone.
I’m like a star shooting cross the sky

Summary
Max was perfectly happy with his chaotic yet happy life, which included a house full of loyal but equally unhinged friends, his final year of engineering, and just enough drama to keep things interesting. Everything was perfectly on track... until he showed up. A mysterious, annoyingly elegant stranger who bumped into him at a mall, spilled boba tea all over him, and then casually reappeared wearing Dior—just to buy milk.
After Charles entered the picture, life only became more chaotic, What started out as casual encounters turned into academic rivalries, petty fights, slow-burn tension, and the kind of love that flips your world upside down with arguments, late-night study sessions, glitter bombs, grocery store runs, Chaos, party and pranks.
And in between all of this Max came to the very big realization that he’s hopelessly, stupidly in love with the man who made his already chaotic life infinitely better

Summary
He craned his head to the side and was taken aback to see Daniel, clad out in running attire, slowing down to stop next to the bench.
Daniel removed one of his headphones. Max could just about hear the tinny bass blasting out of it. "You good, mate? What are you doing up—" he asked as he glanced down at his watch, flicking his wrist to get the screen to light up, "it's two thirty in the morning."

Summary
Max Verstappen is new in the grid.
Max doesn’t want to go to his hotel room. He knew what was waiting for him.
When Max arrived in his room Jos was already there. Waiting. He didn't look up “That's what you call a race?” Jos hissed “You couldn't even make it to the finish.” He opened his mouth to explain- the engine, the smoke, the failure that had nothing to do with him-But Jos was already moving.
A sharp cuff to the side of the head sent Max recoiling, more from the shock than pain. It wasn't hard. Not yet. But it was enough. "Sainz beat you. Maybe he is the real talent." Jos turned and left, slamming the door. The teen let out a breath he hadn't realized holding.After five minutes his phone rang. A message from Carlos.

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.

Summary
"What do you want?" Daniel whispered, his voice trembling.
The alpha smirked, his teeth flashing in the flickering light. "You know exactly what I want, don't you?" he growled, his breath hot and sour against Daniel's face. "You're going to make up for what you did to my driver."
Panic surged through Daniel's veins like a torrent of ice water, freezing him to the spot. He tried to pull away, his legs threatening to give out beneath him. "No, please, I didn't mean to—"
The alpha slammed him against the cold, concrete wall, and Daniel's head ricocheted back, leaving a trail of stars across his vision. "You shouldn't have taken out my man," the alpha spat, his voice a deadly purr. "Now, you're going to pay the price."

What happens when Daniel gets attacked by an Alpha? Will that change his relationship with all alphas? Will he see Max differently?...
