absolutely love this fic. the alternative universe i adore, the mention of lestappen and how they are slightly involved but not too much. the small gestures which oscar does, and lando being his usual oblivious self. mwuah, 10/10 would read it again any day.

future fic, with some lovely tension, and an absolutely great lestappen dynamic, which represents them very well. max goes to ferrari in 2028, and shit happens.

WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I ADORE THIS FIC. peak literature. literally. charles and max goes on a podcast together and the tension is THERE. and the aftermath, mwuah. 10/10 would recommned with all my heart.

lestappen (who would have guessed), 34k, unfinished!! , 4 chapter so far
god how i wish for this fic to get a new chapter. i love it so much, the dynamic. charle sbeing a brat while max is slowly losing controll over his feelings and thoughts. PLEASE GODS IM BEGGING YOU, I NEED A NEW CHAPTER. im begging politely of course. but if you wanna read amazing sexual scenes and a fucking mesterpeace of a story build up, go give this some love.

this is more of a messy chaos fic, with no needed context and it's just there. max and charles get high together and i love it. not everyones cup of tea, but i love a good junky au fic and this describes the feeling perfectly
How To Clock Max's Tea by (idk i cant find the author on trumbl again)
lestappen (you would have been suprised if not), 52k, finished, 7 chapters
lando is hungry for gossip and starts a mission with a few other people to find out whats happening between charles and max. lando is so goofy in this one and i adore every word of this fic. if you want a good laugh read this shit. grab it and run.
I'm the lonelier version of you (I just don't know where I went wrong)

this alternative universe is so good, that i would suck someones toes off. like literally. max is a ballett dancer, and charles is a piano accompanist. there is alot of tension. max has a bit of and accident and it turns slightly into a sickfic. i love it. you will too trust your mother.

norapinto (absolutely underrated), 4k, finished, oneshot
underrated pairing and this fic represents how much potential it has. some good old smut, and our beloved franco quote is mentioned, mostly making the whole plot all together. check it out if you trust me.
Under the Sunset by @norrstri

ICONIC. this is basicly the foundation of the alternative universe fics in the f1 community. spiderman oscar, lando whos and oblivoius fanboy, while being best friends with oscar. the typical something more is lingering in the air but lando just cant shut up about spiderman for oscars sake. but the puzzle pieces will eventually click together.

this fic have proven me wrong. i was sceptical about the bodyswap au, but GODDAM this cooked. lando and oscar switching bodies on the jet and they fuck. thats the plot. i ate it up.
