Not being heard is no reason for silence.

As a result, they're forced to spend every rut alone. Even their sex life is affected. They can be intimate, but they can't bring themselves to fully submit to one another. They've tried before, desperate to make it work, but every time they get close, their instincts reject the idea of yielding to another alpha. Neither of them can do it.

Over time, the frustration starts to build. They love each other deeply and have no desire to break up, but they can't ignore the fact that something is missing. Eventually, they reach a compromise: each of them will choose an omega to spend their ruts with.

However, neither Max nor Daniel wants an open relationship. They're both possessive, jealous, and very much in love. The arrangement is strictly limited to rut partners. No sleeping with anyone outside of rut periods.

and Max chooses Charles. From the very beginning, Max makes it clear that it's only sex. Nothing more. What he doesn't explain is why. Nobody knows that he and Daniel are together. Since they're both alphas, they've spent years hiding their relationship, terrified that it could become public and damage their careers if it ever reached the media.

Charles agrees anyway, unfortunately for Max, Charles falls in love with him. And Max notices almost immediately. He's known Charles for years. He can read him like an open book. He knows he should end things before Charles gets hurt. He knows he should tell Daniel about it, and admit that Charles has developed feelings

But he can't bring himself to do it. Because with every passing rut, Max finds himself becoming more and more addicted to Charles. And for the first time in years, he's no longer sure where the line is supposed to be.

I don't even like love triangles, but I ended up thinking about this anyway kfdkdk.

I’ve fallen in love with your omega auction Au, and I think I sent this ask once but it might have been a hallucination😅 I love Max teaching his two kids how to get their omegas no matter what. But I’m obsessed thinking about Charles in the au, and I’m just picturing him as somewhat like Charles from the rookie au. Innocent looking but scheming. Like maybe Charles absolutely didn’t notice how Max orchestrated and manipulated their mating at the beginning, but he very much does notice the advice and things Max are teaching their pups about getting with Logan and Kimi. And Charles doesn’t see anything wrong with it, and he wants to help them but this is just such great bonding between his mate and pups so he doesn’t want to interrupt them. (Maybe it’s also that he gets a bit wet at the sight of Max being such a good dad🤭) Instead he sets his own plans in motion. He wants his kids happy and he wants some cute son-in-laws to bake and gossip with. So he starts asking Oscar and Ollie to invite Logan and Kimi over, using excuses like wanting to learn some of Logan’s recipes and wanting Kimi to taste-test some Italian food. And oh no, look at that, it’s storming outside and maybe the two omegas should just stay over for the night, Oscar and Ollie obviously has clothes they can borrow and sleep in. Just Charles scheming and helping in his own way🥰

Hi Anon 🧑‍🍳

→ Omega Auction AU: Loscar

→ Omega Auction AU: Bearnelli

Yes, yes, yes to all of this!! Our cuddly, sweet Omega Charles who looks back on his and Max's courtship with the happiest, dreamiest smile ☺️ his Alpha spoiling him with gifts, rescuing him from disaster dates after the other Alpha never showed up (wonder why...), and claiming Charles publicly so the FIA and F1 couldn't do anything about pretty, pampered Charles Leclerc racing since he was mated to the paddock Alpha, Mad Max himself 🥰

Charles loves how Max is his knight in shining armor, how his Maxie handles everything because, in his words, "You don't have to do anything you don't want to, mijn liefje. All you have to do is love me, and I'll take care of the rest."

When they adopted Oscar and Ollie, Charles was so over the moon happy to be a grid mum 🥹 and both Oscar and Ollie protected their mama with all the ferocity and aggression of two highly trained Black Ops agents. (Max was so goddamn proud when Oscar carried his mama away from a crowd of fans threatening to crush Charles and beamed with delight when Ollie threatened to yeet a journalist out a window after they refused to stop prying into Charles's personal life.)

So naturally, when Charles sees his babies suffering, he immediately decides to step in and lend a helping hand 💓

He makes sure his Alpha and two pups are home when he invites Logan and Kimi for an Omega sleepover. The two shy little Omegas are clutching their backpacks and overnight bags but Charles rushes them inside, kissing both their cheeks and insisting everything has already been taken care of, he just thought Logan and Kimi could use a night of pampering and relaxation after the last few races.

Cue Charles handing them their silk pajamas and telling them they can get changed in a few very specific rooms (aka, Oscar and Ollie's bedrooms) 🤭

Picture Logan wandering into Oscar's room, not realizing the Alpha has just finished showering and is walking out of the bathroom.

Oscar. Naked, with a damp towel wrapped around his hips, water dripping down his hair, jaw, and chest.

Logan. Dressed in nothing more than a skimpy silk and chiffon Tiffany blue top and tiny matching shorts. Cheeks flushed pink with embarrassment as he realizes that this is Oscar's bedroom.

"I'm sorry Oscie, I didn't realize—"

"That's okay." Oscar's voice is rough, his breathing ragged, and his grip tightens around the towel tied around his hips.

"I'm, um, I'm here for the sleepover with Kimi and Charles." Logan adds shyly.

Oscar almost growls. "Yeah? Gonna be here all night, Logie?"

The Omega nods enthusiastically. "Yeah! I'm going to teach Charles and Kimi how to make my lemon bars and then Kimi's going to teach us how to make pasta and then we'll have a movie and spa night!"

"That sounds like a lot of fun, Logie. Here," Oscar walks to his closet and pulls out a hoodie, McLaren colors, and OP81 in the back. "So you don't get cold."

He offers it to Logan.

The Omega bites his lip. "I'm...not wearing my scent patch. Charles said we didn't have to tonight..."

"That's okay, Logie." Oscar struggles to keep his voice even. "I just want you to be comfortable."

Ocean blue eyes gaze up at him. "You always take care of me, Oscie. I wish...I wish I can take care of you too."

On the opposite side of the hall, Kimi Antonelli cheerfully starts to strip himself naked right in the middle of Ollie's bedroom. He's so excited to put on the cute baby pink silk camisole with the printed flowers. The sleep shorts are...indecently short: They're a semi-sheer baby pink color, cut to look like panties.

Kimi's knows it's a little scandalous but as he twists and turns, admiring himself in the mirror, he can't help but feel...

Pretty.

His eyes are bright with excitement, curls a little rumpled but still manageable, and there's a wide, delighted smile on his lips. Kimi does another little spin, giggling as his camisole floats around him, when he catches sight of a figure leaning against the doorway.

Ollie.

Embarrassment washes over him as Kimi stands there, half-frozen, not realizing he looks like a goddamn angel in his tiny scraps of semi-sheer chiffon and scraps of silk. His little panties slung low on his hips, allowing Ollie to see...

Everything.

"Well," Ollie's voice is much rougher than Kimi is used to, "are you looking to break every Alpha's heart tonight?" He uncrosses his arms and walks over, eyes so dark and stormy it sends shivers down Kimi's spine.

"Do you think I look pretty enough to do that?" Kimi blushes, clasping his hands behind his back. "Charles got this for me." He adds.

"Mum always has excellent taste." Ollie replies.

He reaches out one hand, fingertips grazing the hemline of his camisole. "Beautiful." He breathes.

"Can you...can you stay?" Kimi suddenly asks. "I'm making dinner and Logan's making dessert and...can you stay? Please?"

"Kimi...baby, I don't want to intrude."

"You wouldn't!" Kimi insists. "Please Ollie? I miss you so much."

And really, how can Ollie say no?

Kimi is prepared to explain everything to Charles and Logan but imagine his surprise when he walks into the kitchen and sees Charles sitting on the countertop, Max pressing kisses to his jaw as Charles chats with Logan.

Meanwhile, the blond Omega is measuring sugar and flour for the lemon bars while Oscar is clinging to him from behind, face buried in the Williams driver's neck while his growls fill the air.

Kimi blinks in surprise before Ollie picks Kimi up, plopping him down on the opposite counter and dropping a kiss on his shoulder. "Should I get the wine?" Ollie asks casually.

Max gives a growl of approval. "Let's get a few bottles of Madeira to start off." He nods to his younger son.

"Madeira isn't going to pair well with the lemon bars!" Charles protests.

"I'll get some Prosecco for that pairing." Max reassures.

Logan worriedly looks up. "Oh the lemon bars aren't anything fancy—"

"Anything you make is going to be delicious, Logie." Oscar interrupts, half-drunk on Logan's scent.

As the kitchen bursts alive with movement, laughter, and the sounds of raucous conversation, Charles beams with pride as he sees Logan and Kimi snuggling closer and closer to their Alphas.

He'll shut off the heat late at night so Logan and Kimi seek out their Alphas' beds for warmth.

In the morning, he'll distract his Maxie with a...frisky wake-up call so Oscar and Ollie can make breakfast for their Omegas.

And then he'll ask their housekeeper to dump Logan and Kimi's clothes in the trash bin so they have no choice but to ask for Oscar and Ollie's hoodies and boxers 🥰

loves the rancher x stripper au, cowboy max says hi!!!!!

Hi @sizzlingcookiestudentnickel 🤠

→ Rancher!Max x Stripper!Charles AU

Thank you my babe!! ☺️ I honestly had so much fun with this AU because the whole mysterious desert vibe combined with the seedy but alluring lights of an equally disreputable city?? I adore this type of atmospheric tension 🏜🐎💃

Also loving cynical and jaded Max slowly falling for clever, witty Charles but fighting everything he's feeling because he's been burned before. He can't allow himself to get his hopes up—not again.

That big blowout fight between Max and Charles where our Alpha refuses to kiss Charles despite spending days and nights with the Omega wrapped around him, legs spread, Max's knot in his tight little pussy? It hurts Charles more than he ever wants to admit.

Because in that moment, he's never felt more like a cheap whore.

Carlos and Charles on the jet back to Monaco

i think jack doohan was wrong, charles is the real “paddock slut.”

Spider constantly cussing out Quaritch and the other recoms and nobody batting an eyelid

Quaritch secretly loving it because even though those are some spicy insults, Spider is obviously comfortable enough in his presence to say them

(Quaritch doesn’t know this is why he enjoys it, to him he’s just confused when a warm glow starts to spread from his chest)

Spider having the time of his imprisonment life because nobody seems to care that he hates them, he can just freely live his truth without being punished

He used to feel like he was walking on eggshells around the Omatikaya (esp Neytiri) because everything he said he could be judged for, but here no one gives a shit, it seems

Weirdly, he also knows that he’s probably a great deal safer with the recom squad than with any old Omatikaya, because these guys will actually try to protect him if any of the wildlife turns foul

Z-dog praising Spider for his creative insults, stating that they’re some of the most inventive ones she’s heard in her two lifetimes. Spider glowing warm because it’s the only praise he’s received from an adult in years

Quaritch watching the other recoms take the piss out of spider for his foul attitude towards them, but his juxtapositional softness and gentleness when it comes to the animals they encounter

Quaritch not joining in because he’s just watching Spider react, always trying to gauge his response

“What the hell is a Tarzan and why do you keep calling me tiger?!”

Quaritch has enough and gets a picture of a tiger up to show him. Spider is unimpressed at first until he realises that tigers look pretty ferocious, and he likes their stripes. From then on, the nickname doesn’t bother him.

The recoms all promise to never enlighten Spider about Tarzan, making him believe it’s a kind of species of Earth animal that died out thousands of years ago. Quaritch doesn’t join in but has to hide his smirk whenever Spider starts frustratedly asking how big tarzans were and if they had stripes or sharp teeth or were predators

Spider being woken up early in the mornings for trekking through the jungle with a furious, albeit sleepy, “fuck off.”

The recoms joking about spider being a baby, or weak, or fragile, but they recognise deep down that the kid is built. Quaritch knows this too and knows they’re only doing it to wind spider up, so he doesn’t stop them

When spider is especially annoyed/homesick/sick of being a prisoner, the recoms are better at noticing it than Quaritch, who at the beginning of their relationship was abrasive and unable to empathise with him

A hand on Quaritch’s shoulder from Wainfleet or Ja or Lopez is all it takes for the recoms to stop Quaritch from going off at the boy after he ransacked the supplies

Spider trying out the recom food from the suction packets and their faces bursting into laughter when spider pulls a disgusted face and starts gagging (a la trying alcohol for the first time)

Spider teaching Quaritch Na’vi at Quaritch’s request, but exchanging phrases like ‘good morning’ to ‘I am a worm’s anus’

Mansk has been checking the translation on his tablet software, and starting grinning when he catches on to what Spider is doing. He gets Z-dog and the others round and they watch with barely concealed laughter as Spider tricks the Colonel (Quaritch never finds out)

I'll stand by it till the day I die:

the sacrifice scene was so gut wrenching, not because Jake was lying to Spider, but because He Wasn't, and that still wasn't enough to save Spider, had Jake not been the one holding the blade.

You know the moment at the end where Jake is the only thing stopping Quaritch and Spider from falling to their deaths? Jake very easily could've slashed the vine or simply done nothing, and eliminated both Quaritch and the "airbreather," two of the biggest threats to his people, in one go.

And Spider knew that.
