Summary
Being a race driver is hard.
Getting a taxi ride from Nice to Monaco is easy.
At least, it should be.
Well, it's not so much when your taxi driver happens to be insane.
Or,
Charles Leclerc is a taxi driver and a Ferrari fan. Max Verstappen is Max Verstappen and he thought he was used to haters, but this takes it to a whole new level.

Summary
“But we weren't happy,” he said softly, turning his gaze toward the window. “That was terrible news. And the pregnancy was awful. I hated everyone back then, myself, you. Not Maxje, of course. And I felt terrible when he was born. It's not something I'm ready to tell the whole world,” he concluded, lowering his head and looking at their joined hands.
“You... never mentioned it,” Max said dejectedly, pulling his hand away. “You never told me about it.”or
Charles and Max had been married for years, they raised their son and were happy together. Though it wasn’t always like that. Or was it only Charles who saw it that way?

They’re almost back to Charles’ hotel when Max asks, “Do you mind that we all call you Charles? Like the English, not the French?”
“No,” Charles scoffs. “It’s just a name.”
Or: between Spa and Zandvoort 2022, Max Verstappen takes Charles Leclerc out for dinner in Amsterdam.

Summary
Craning his neck behind them, Daniel laughs his loud, creaky hyena laugh. “Don’t look now, but he’s still watching.”
“Who?”
“Chuck.”
“Chuck. There’s no way he lets you call him that,” Max says, voice rife with disbelief. He also can’t help it—he turns around, jostling Daniel’s arm over his shoulder to look back toward the media pen. Charles is in fact still watching them disappear down the paddock. His head is tilted to one side, a look of consideration on his pretty face. He doesn’t look actively upset, but he doesn’t look particularly happy either. Fuck.
“He doesn’t let me do anything. I just sort of do it and he laughs and blushes and looks at me with his big cow eyes.”
“Big cow eyes,” Max repeats, disbelieving yet again.
“Not actually, but sort of,” Daniel says, grin making his eyes crinkle. What the fuck.
“He’s blushing at you?” Max sounds petulant. Jealous, even. He needs to get a grip.
*
All the rookies love Max. Except for one.

Summary
“What the hell is this, Charles?” Max stares in alarm at himself through the mirror.
No, Charles has not shaved him bald. Actually, Max just got settled down post-hair wash so Charles has not had the chance to cut a single hair on his head.
Yet here Max is, looking on in shock. Horror, even.
Why is he wearing an atrocious cape covered in dogs?!
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Charles asks innocently, turned away from Max. When Charles finally faces the mirror again, Max is still able to catch the faintest smug smile that he had not been able to repress. Sneaky fucker.

Summary
They usually moved around an ill-defined line that stood between them, and hand-touching was trespassing that unspoken boundary. And when Jane stretched the line with sweet words or a gaze held too long, there was only so many reactions she could afford to express: embarrassment, or amusement, or even anger.
Right now, she just felt love. She just felt love and she refused, repelled, rejected any thought that wanted to interfere with that.Bookmarked by yearnyapyawn

Summary
“Lisbon,” he tries again. When he glances around, he sees everyone—Cho, staring at him impassively, Grace with hope shining in her eyes, Wayne, his face slack with shock—dead silent.
Pike looks like he’d rather like to use Jane for target practice as well.
But no one mattered except her. He didn’t care, suddenly. Didn’t care about how these people would perceive him and what this would do to his career, because none of that meant anything if she didn’t know what was in his heart.
He could survive anything but losing her.

“You know I don’t like tea.”
“Well, you’ve hardly let me make you tea. I guarantee you you’ll like mine."
Lisbon scoffs, ripping open a packet and pouring it into her coffee. “Right. I bet you say that to all the girls,” she says as she grabs a stirrer.
“Not all the girls,” Jane says, and she can practically hear the smirk in his voice. “Just you.”

Summary
Mid-s2e1 AU: Not only does the young lady Anthony raced in the park wholly misunderstand both his words and his character, she refuses to listen to his (perfectly rational) explanation, or even allow him the opportunity to offer a defence.
And that simply will not do. Which is why he must follow her inside the ballroom. And then ask her to dance. And then continue to seek her out as the days and weeks of the season progress.
***
“Will I have the opportunity to address the charges against my character?” He takes her hand and she turns elegantly under his raised arm. “Or do you intend to leave tonight’s gathering certain of your own rightness?”
The roll of her eyes is rather subtle, he will give her that. “Just because we are dancing does not mean we need to converse, my lord.”

Summary
“You do not care what others think of you?” He asked. The man studied her and then quickly looked at their surroundings. “I find that difficult to believe.”
“And why is that?” Kate was not certain why she felt compelled to argue with the man, though he seemed to enjoy the back and forth. As did she, not that she would admit as much.
He tilted his head. “You are attending a ball where the goal of nearly every unmarried person is to find a suitable match. We base such matches on what we think of others actions or status, do we not? To attend such an event disproves your earlier claim.”
“Enlighten me, my lord. Is that your goal? Are you looking for a suitable match?”
He pursed his lips and looked away momentarily, and Kate felt herself almost sway at his movement, as if pulled into his orbit. He took a step closer. “And if I were to say yes?”
“If you were to say yes, then I would suggest it would do you better to peruse the dance floor rather than this terrace.”

The morning after the Hearts and Flowers Ball, Kate goes for a ride, hoping to clear her mind and put aside all thoughts of the Viscount’s breath against the side of her cheek, his whispers caressing her ear…until she encounters the man himself on a morning ride. Dark clouds are on the horizon; can they weather the storm together?
Or: What if Anthony saw Kate again before he went ahead and proposed like an idiot?

Summary
He lowered his voice. “You are the most capable and intelligent person I have yet to meet. You make all of us look like fools.”
Her mouth opened in surprise before she quickly hid her feelings again. “Even you, my lord?”
She was smiling, clearly expecting an argument, but Anthony did not want her to think he took this lightly. He needed to correct her thinking. She needed to know that his initial promises were changing. Even if she did not reciprocate, he valued their honest rapport.
“You have made me the biggest fool, I think. For I thought I could pursue this courtship without any affection or strong feelings. Yet, it is impossible for me to feel nothing when I am with you.”
************
Anthony decides that Kate is the only woman fit to be Viscountess Bridgerton and catches feelings along the way. Fortunately, so does Kate.
