Summary
The grainy pictures are pieced together like a crude comic strip, sketching a poorly thought-out narrative arc that somehow made it onto the front page of every sleazy newspaper.

Summary
Max had left New York a week before Charles had, seven days exactly. Max had gone to Hollywood; Charles had gone to a hospital. Now they're starring in the same film.
Hollywood gives its darlings everything. It takes everything too.

Summary
Hooking up with Sanji was supposed to be simple; nothing beyond a tacit agreement to have a good time. Unfortunately, too much might have been left unspoken and Zoro's about to lose what little he allowed himself to have with Sanji.
Maybe it's time he stops pretending he doesn't know exactly what he wants.

Summary
Now it's Max's turn to grin, wide and teasing and maybe a little too earnest.
"Well, somebody just told me that I’m going to be a world champion one day, and there's only one driver around here good enough to beat me, so I'd like to think he'll be there too."
It's silly, and hopeful, but Charles is beaming at him and it feels like a promise.
"Preferably in second place, of course."
Or: There are lots of ways to love Charles Leclerc, Max maybe learns all of them through the years.
Featuring: puddles, stargazing, unsolicited driving lessons, and the overwhelming fear of growing up.

Summary
“Thanks,” Max eventually says. “For letting me crash.”
“Yeah, yeah, we should definitely do this again sometimes,” Charles says sarcastically, seeming to finally have woken up enough to actually get out of bed.
“No fucking way, once is enough,” Max says, because it sounds a lot better than ‘this is the best I’ve slept in ages and I think it might’ve been because you were next to me’. “Besides. You snore.”
Charles gasps and looks at Max. “I do not.”
He doesn’t. But the complete outrage on Charles’s face is too good to tell him the truth. “Oh, yeah, like a goddamn sawmill. Thought you were going to wake up the whole house.” Max says, and then laughs when Charles lets out an indignant squawk and launches a pillow at his face.
Or, the five times Max and Charles accidentally fall asleep together, and the one time they do it on purpose.
