I wanted to put a list together of progress for all the f1 fics I’ve got on the work desk. This is super helpful so I don’t forget anything 😅 sweet, ripe progress bar still lives at the top of my tumblr! ❤️💙

tiny snippet from Charlie’s pov below the cut for anyone that wants a sneak peak (I am still working on a title for his pov)

🥰🥰🥰🫶🏻🏳️‍🌈 thank youuu!!! Hahaha I love this! That’s such a good visual representation now that I’m thinking about it.

I’m over the moon that you’re enjoying sweet, ripe and the spice ofc 🫶🏻🫡 the spicy scenes for max and charlie are very dear to me, ngl

I also want to ask if you have in mind to write a chapter for Oscar's pov (I don't know if you already answered this question, I'm sorry if that's the case, I don't want to pressure you). I left a comment in ao3, saying that Oscar fell first but Lando fell harder, and you answered about Oscar being a mastermind to get them together as teammates; I'm so curious about how Oscar felt when he first met Lando and sensed the "compatibility", and inevitable fell in love. I think that since Lando said "So you’re my new Aussie?", he was doomed.

Even though I think that all that situations are overwhelming not only for Lando, but for Oscar as well, he's so centered and secure in his feelings and intentions toward this reactive omega. He's able to provide Lando with calm and reassurance. He accepted his feelings very quickly.

English is not my first language, so I struggle to express you how much I love this story haha.🫶🏻

Hello!! 🥰 thank you for the sweet message, this is lovely! I hope you don’t mind that I’m replying to this so late, I’m behind on most of my messages/comments/asks and I’ve been trying to dig myself out from under all of those this week.

You’ve inspired me with this message—an Oscar pov chapter is in the works! 🎉 I’ve added that progress/status update to my pinned post about my fics, so you can keep checking back to see how that’s going anytime you like ☺️ I think Oscar’s pov is worth dipping my toes into, he’s so interesting to me and especially because yes, he’s totally had at least a little bit of a hand in the choices that brought them together as teammates! 🧡🧡

Thank you!! 🥰🫶🏻 I’m so glad you enjoyed it—Charles’ pov is going to be unpacking the lengthy list of issues plaguing him and Ferrari, but I’m hoping it will properly illustrate how night and day things become for him when Max enters more solidly into the picture.

Thought this fun fact can cheer you up

Again, thank you VERY much for ur work, I adore it 🙏🙏🙏

it’s like you guys know when i have therapy days and could use the extra boost 🥹🫶🏻

no translator is incredible and so freaking impressive!! Omg that’s cool as hell! Also language studying ‼️‼️‼️ what a fun way to practice and stretch those brain muscles 🤩💖 (do you use anything to study, like an online course or something??)

This absolutely does cheer me up, thank you so so much for sharing my friend!

Got me crying, laughing, smiling/giggling/ kicking my feet like a crazy person (in the best way possible tho) You are AMAZING!

And don’t even get me started with the ARTWORK! You’re a GEM ❤️❤️❤️

🥹❤️💙 thank you!!! This is so so lovely to hear! I’m thrilled that you’re enjoying it. sweet, ripe has grown to be so much bigger than i could have ever anticipated (and thats the really wild part because i wasn’t anticipating anything lol) I just had a thought and ran with it and it wouldn’t have expanded to what it is now if weren’t for people like yourself being so expressive about how much they enjoy it 💖 so seriously THANK YOU!

I was going to make a little post about the timeline of things moving forward, but this seems like as good as time as any to bring it up. So, I think I’ve reached a nexus point with the current chapter to where it will be beneficial to post the first chapter of Charlie’s pov before I add the next sweet, ripe update. There’s just some themes that kind of cross paths, y’know? I think one will enhance the other.

I believe current Charlie’s pov draft is at 4k words, so going to be putting in effort to finish that first and then get back to sweet, ripe!

Oscar one night was bored in bed and stalked Lando on internet, cause he always had a vision of them standing like this 🧡 🧡 😭

😂🫶🏻 you’re so right

I love the way how all pieces of this chapter are very different. I love how fluid the beginning of chapter is going from the previous chapter. I love the playful after nap Charles and embraced pink max, I love the cozy sweet sour meeting with family 

(Also, I got headcanon for Charles texting in a twitch chat asking if this beautiful man in Red Bull shirt have an only fans 😂)

Wish you all good things that possible and impossible 

🥰🥰🫶🏻 you’re so very welcome!! I tried to have a good balance of fun/emotional/playful 💖

Ooohh that’s an amazing headcanon 😆 Charles’ version of flirting is the ‘do you come here often’ but on steroids 😂 he’s just out to cause mayhem and see what Max will do because that’s kind of the fabulous thing; he’s got no idea how he’ll react! I love this phase—they get to learn all of those little details about each other.

Charles is about to be the thing Red Bull has to have the most meetings about.

Red Bull PR Mtg

Media relations director clicking through a PowerPoint slide: Didn’t imagine this ever needed to be an ask…but please do not imply that Max could be an adult content model!

Charles sitting at the opposite side of the table and blinking innocently: I never said that he was. I just said that if he was, I would buy him.

*dismayed noises from around the room*

The horrified RB intern whispering from the corner: Does he not get how that’s worse?
