    Summary

    To lose something, one must truly love it. And to truly love it, he must set it free.

    The bird that does not return to its cage is a free bird, but to live without a home is the biggest burden of all. To grow is to leave behind, and yet the more you lose the more you stand to gain. One must choose wisely what to gamble upon for what you have is what you stand to lose and what you’ve lost you can’t amend. The one who wears the crown shall be called king, but the one holding his strings is the true ruler.

    To bid farewell is the most bittersweet song of all, growing in one’s throat like a rose garden. The next step must be taken with utmost caution, lest you run back coughing up the thorns.

    Summary

    Max Verstappen never planned on becoming a bodyguard for Monaco’s Princess,

    Fresh off years of elite special forces training and teaching new recruits how not to die, Max Verstappen's life is spent alone in a spotless Monaco apartment, until it's not. The moment Max is pulled into a high-stakes assignment is life changes: protecting Charlotte Leclerc the princess of Monaco, and the monarchy’s only heir, from an anonymous death threat, becomes his number one priority.

    She’s stubborn, reckless, and she’s exactly the kind of trouble Max knows he shouldn’t get involved with.

    But fate, it seemed, had other ideas.

    Summary

    Stupid fucking idea, he thought.

    What a stupid fucking thing to do.

    He won't even get to see their faces.

    Although maybe that'll be for the better. His mum would cry. His dad would be disappointed - he'd think he was a coward, even if he didn't say it. Maybe he would say it, it's not like he'd have to spare Daniel's feelings anymore.
    Isaac and Isa wouldn't really understand, it'd be easier on them. They'd forget, eventually. Daniel barely remembered his nonna, and he'd spent every childhood summer over at her house watching cartoons and excitedly telling her about karting whilst she cooked and nodded patiently, up until the scorching July she'd died of a heart attack.

    Max would be livid enough to walk all the way to Hell and get him back himself, probably. Drag him screaming and kicking all the way back to the surface.

    The thought made Daniel chuckle. Sort of. Almost.

    It was hard to chuckle with the coolness of the metal barrel shoved as deep into his mouth as it'd go.

    He just hopes they can forgive him, hopefully.

    Thankfully, he wouldn't be around to check.

    Summary

    Daniel gets close again. Close enough to smell the sweat, and the too-many limes and maybe a hint of cologne. Maybe it’s still the fuel. Maybe it’s the mixing of both. Daniel presses a hand on Max’s shoulder, because he thinks he’s at least allowed to do that, because Simon had done it to him, and Christian too back in Montreal. So, it’s not like. Weird. Daniel doesn’t why it would even be in the first place. Right. Friends, teammates. It’s totally normal.

    Totally fucking fine.

    Daniel should probably know better than that, because he’s been through this before. Eight years ago. Eight years ago.

     

    OR

    Daniel trying to cope with the feelings he's been developing for Max since 2016.

    Summary

    Daniel, a worker at Area 51, never expected his vacation to take such a bizarre turn. On his journey home from a relaxing trip to Austin, Texas, he stumbles upon an otherworldly sight—a crashed alien in the heart of the Arizona desert. Amidst the crater, Daniel discovers Max--a curious and intelligent extraterrestrial who survived the crash.

    Despite Daniel's intentions to transport Max to safety at Area 51, the alien's repeated attempts to escape confound him. Max vehemently protests, insisting that returning to his home planet is not an option.

    As Daniel grapples with the mystery of Max's reluctance to go home, he finds himself caught between his duty to follow protocol and his growing empathy for the stranded alien.

    Summary

    Love is a treacherous road, often taken without the necessary caution. One cannot blame the rose for being pricked by its thorn, when to hold it is an acceptance in of itself. Most say money cannot buy happiness, but only the richest know it.

    When betrayal runs rampant like an epidemic, one must cover his mouth with love and his nose with respect. Infidelity is a fickle game, with so much at stake. One must not gamble upon compassion, for once it’s lost there is no coin on earth that can bring it back.

    To lose something, one must truly love it. And to truly love it, he must set it free.

    Summary

    It’s fun to speculate about a person sometimes. Before the podiums, the records, and the relentless roar of Orange Army from grandstands, there must have been a boy with a dream, a loving mother, and a demanding father. But as the trophy case grew fuller and the world celebrated his victories, Max began to feel the cracks beneath the surface of what seems to be his childhood dream. It started with fleeting glances, moments he couldn’t explain. A teammate’s laugh, a rival’s fleeting touch—feelings that didn’t fit the script of "Formula 1 World Champion". For the first time, Max wasn’t sure who he was racing for—or what he was running from.

    or,

    A fic about how I, emphasis on I, visualise Max Verstappen’s entire life - karting, childhood, Formula 1 growth. It'll be mostly canon compliant, but fictional event will be added.
    Enjoy!
