Thank you, Daniel! Fest – First wave roundup post.
Here's the second wave roundup post.
Did you feel that outpouring of love yesterday? That was all the creativity unleashed within the first reveal wave of our fest! As promised, here's the roundup post so you don't miss out on anything!
Fics:
The Designated Alternate Universe Driver (DAUD) by @fiveredlights
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 483 words (chapter 1/2)
Daniel doesn't pass out when he finds out who the 2025 DAUD is. Benjamin wishes he did. There was a whole bet going.

In The Eye of a Hurricane (there is quiet) by @shineon3
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 5,1k words (complete)
Max is the one who gets the call.
He steps outside to take it, surprise and shock bleeding through his body language. Daniel watches over him until he comes back inside the small coffee shop, flashing him a small smile.
“Good news?”
“Great news,” Max’s grin widens.
Or: Love, healing, and all the ugly in-between.

Putting Cares To Rest by @sillystappen
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 2,8k words (complete)
Daniel has changed the way his room looks quite a bit this year. OR f you want 100 words(ish): The 2024 season has not been kind to Daniel, in fact he doesn't know if Formula 1 ever was. The narrative seems to have doomed him from the start. Part of him wants to beg, to scream, to cry that his time is not over, that he can still be one of the greats. But he's being realistic, and despite the hurt he knows that it's all good and done. He's going to let it all go, change his point of view, and move forward. What else can he do?

Late night pick-up by @sequinsandfins
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 4.7k words (chapter 1/2)
Ricky Bob Motors is a full service garage. Daniel likes hot guys and hot cars, and luckily for him, he is not in short supply of either. When he finds a hot guy who likes to be fucked over the hood of his own car, even better.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Worth Everything by @beth1814
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 2,4k words (complete)
After Singapore, Daniel went home to Australia, Max shows up after Abu Dhabi saying he is retired. Does Daniel risk everything and admit his feelings to Max?

a star in the face of the sky by @champagneshoey
girl!Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 4,8k words (ongoing)
Always the media’s darling, endless articles get published in the wake of her departure. She doesn’t need to read them all. She knows they draw the same conclusion:
The future of women in Formula 1 does not include Danielle Ricciardo.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Get It Right Back by @overtake
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 6,6k words, (chapter 1/4)
Daniel grips cold porcelain between his fingers and watches the veins in his hand push against the skin with the effort. He takes one long, deep breath and takes stock of himself. His hair is freshly cut. His suit is tailored perfectly. When he smiles at his reflection, he can see a brief glimpse of the guy who once had a C over his chest and skated more naturally than he walked.
Toronto is going to be different, he promises himself. If this is his last chance at a Stanley Cup, he isn't leaving without a fight.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
formless shape by anonymous
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 3,3k words (complete)
One week after he comes home for real (for good, maybe), Daniel makes himself text Max, even though thinking about anything and anybody related to F1 feels like raking himself over hot coals. It wasn’t Max’s fault, even if, in the end, Max wasn’t enough to save him.
Or: a story about an alternate Daniel who isn't living his best life after he gets kicked out of F1 and needs a little help getting there.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
growing sideways by @thewindowatkirkland
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 20,8k words (complete)
“We’re in Monaco,” Max says, “and you haven’t lived in either of those places for a very long time, Daniel. Since 2013.”
It must be fucking amnesia, Daniel reasons, because when he went to bed last night it was July 2012. And here a grown up Max Verstappen is, telling him 2013 was a very long time ago.
OR: daniel wakes up in a bed he doesn’t recognise, next to a man he doesn’t know.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow – podfic by @tkaptains, fic by whimsicule
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 1.5 hours (chapter 1/3)
But before Max leaves them all in the dust, it’s Daniel’s turn. It has to be. Christian doesn’t get to decide that it isn’t. Because Daniel has given his all to this team, and he has waded through shit for this team, and this – retirement after fucking retirement – cannot be the end of the road. He deserves – no. He has earned it; to be there when this shitbox of a car finally improves and the gap to Mercedes closes.
So despite a voice in the back of his mind saying, get out while you still can, dipshit –
Daniel is staying at Red Bull.

Google Translate What Does This Mean? by @ararararo
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 1,5k words (chapter 1/2)
Google Translate couldn't possibly be lying to him but Max couldn't possibly be lying to him either.
There's no way his younger teammate has been teaching him to how to say 'Impregnate Me' and 'Cum in Me' in Dutch, made him repeat it every time they were together under false pretence that they were confidence boosting sentences.
It must be Google Translate that's lying to him, because his Maxy could never... right?

The Final Part in the Unlimited Kiss Coupon Universe by @saapphicx
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 1.7k words (complete)
The season is over and Daniel is home for Christmas. But he’s not alone. Max has made good on the offer Daniel gave him, and has packed himself up to the farm for the winter break. Maybe it’s time for Daniel to finally get what he’s wanted since the first day he received that coupon. Maybe it’s time for him to be brave.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Feeling like I'm on a Hook by @naanima
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 12k words (complete)
He knew he should talk this out with Blake, contact his lawyers, and make sure the rest of his team wasn't asking questions they shouldn't. But he couldn't, because the first thing you learned as a rookie on a F1 team was that you don't fucking ever talk about the free use clause with anyone that wasn't your team principal, the head of HR of your team, and the two FIA representatives - the medical specialist and the monitor who inspected both drivers after each “incident” on FIA premise. And of course the other party involved in the free use clause. Agents were viewed with disdain. (The free use clause is activated in Daniel's contract post Singapore).
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Ain’t That Kind of Movie by @annebd
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 2k words (chapter 1/2)
Daniel is the two-time World Drivers' Champion, and at the FIA Awards ceremony, he meets Max, who is charming and funny and gorgeous. And an escort.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
surrender my heart by @f1thememp3
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 1.9k words (chapter 1/4)
There weren’t any subs in formula 1. not for a long time, and at least not publicly. Statistically speaking there were likely quite a few somewhere along the line, but the general perception that subs were far too fragile to handle the demands of the sport kept them fully in the dark. You either fit the mold or got out of the car.

Last by @flawlessassholes
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 3.8k words (complete)
Ten years after Max's first time is Daniel's last.

Love Blind by @mvlionheart
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 3,2k words (chapter 1/12)
“What are we going to do?” Danny ventures asking, voice a thinly veiled attempt at composure. This was their moment, it was all coming together. The years of hard work, the pay-out just around the corner. He couldn’t stomach thinking about letting everything slip through their fingers.
“Open auditions?” Noah replies.
OR
When Danny's band Enchanté loses their drummer right before a big show, they have to find a last-minute replacement. It's a good thing the bass player's sister knows a guy. It's a bad thing, for Danny at least, that the guy is a hot, young, drum prodigy who really knows how to work his sticks.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Stranded by @mvpanda1
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, 5,8k words (complete)
Daniel is having the time of his life. Shining sun, clear calm waters, a yacht full of the best friends a guy could ask for, and the love of his life. Max.
It’s hard to believe they are here together now. Out in the open. No longer sneaking into empty rooms or dark corners. They have been inseparable the entire trip—two becoming one in every way possible. His friends don’t care, they’re just happy Daniel finally feels comfortable enough to be himself.
OR
Daniel is having the time of his life until he isn't.

Please show some love to everyone who participated! All of the people above have done an incredible job. This wouldn't be possible without each and every one of you who participated and we cannot thank you enough for dedicating time to show some love towards Daniel.
Right now, we're giving you all a big, warm hug... but do keep an eye out for something perhaps coming in January ;)
