Only I will remain (but I don't want to be alone) by Starlight_Nebula
Fandoms: Formula 1 RPF
21 Jun 2026

Summary
Max Verstappen spent his entire life hearing that he would be an alpha.
Alphas win. Alphas handle pressure. Alphas don’t need to ask permission to exist.
Omegas, on the other hand, are treated like risks — bodies too unstable for a sport built on absolute control. And in Formula 1, control is everything.So Max learns early on to hide anything that seems “wrong.” The need for closeness. The comfort he finds in his mother’s nests. The constant fear of being seen as weak. Because if the world already closed doors to someone as talented as his mother, there would be no space at all for him.
But secrets have an expiration date.
As the years pass, the championships pile up, Red Bull starts collapsing around him, and suppressants stop being just a career guarantee and become a matter of survival, Max realizes that maybe the hardest thing isn’t continuing to win.
Maybe it’s believing someone would stay if he stopped pretending.

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.

Summary
“I just don’t get it,” he huffs to Will as they put up holiday decorations in the unusually quiet infirmary, “they talk to me like I’m supposed to know stuff. Like I’m the new Percy or something.”
Nico expects Will to laugh at this, shrug off his concerns as unfounded and tell him he’s being over-dramatic like usual.
He is wrong.
“Okay, babe, don’t take this the wrong way. But, you kind of are the new Percy.”

Based on a tumblr post I made about Nico being the obvious choice as Camp Half-Blood's unofficial leader when Percy leaves for college. (only no one bothers to tell Nico that)Series

Summary
Tim was born different.
Not special—like what some parents would claim; just different. He could see things that others couldn't and that set him apart, even if no one else was aware of it. That was okay, he was still Robin, then Red Robin when that's who he became.
It was okay, he was okay; until something entered Gotham and shoved his differences into the limelight.

Clenched Fists and Heavy Hearts by dottie_dc (dottie_wan_kenobi)
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
07 Feb 2022
Tags
Summary
From a young age, Tim is taught to keep a mask of polite indifference, not just in public but in private too. He’s taught that great shows of emotion are uncouth and he needs to be better than that. By the time he’s eighteen, things should be better—he lives with Bruce now, and Bruce has never gotten upset about the other children expressing themselves. But Tim… he just can’t do it. He’s perfectly passive, except for the painful fingernail marks scored into his palms.
It’s fine; he’s got the situation under control. No one has noticed, not even Bruce. But then something happens at school: he rides his skateboard in the hall and ends up running into another student. When the nurse checks him over, he can’t hide his wounds.
