rec five fics with titles you particularly enjoy!

I've been tagged 3 times now so I feel it is only right to do this challenge lmao anywayssss tagged by these lovelies: @love-mariiii @formulaocean @starrwrrld 💗

where you go, I go by @ladysomething — the famous skyfall edit of charles’ sunset lap x max’s storm lap!!! need I say more? iconic of her to use this lyric as the fic title. also this might be a wip, but its my all time fav lestappen fic. I will suggest this fic to everyone bc its truly amazing.

right where you belong by @amarynas — right where you belong… in max’s arms, Charles. no, but seriously so cute and fluffy with a bunch of angst. Max and Charles deserve to be happy and they get that in this fic and the companion fic 👀

grapefruit mignonette by @slapshots on ao3 (idk if they have tumblr) — named after the food Max makes per suggestion by Charles. he later lists it in his menu “love notes” under “first sight” and my heart squeezed in my chest. also deliously filthy. need i say more? one of the first fics I read in this fandom and I still reread constantly when I want to get my dose of chef max hehe

frechheit by @additiva — I actually love fic titles in other languages and this word literally means cheekiness which Charles is the cheekiest mf alive in this fic. one of my fav fics and I highly suggest it bc AH slightly older max? they're both hissy bitches and I love them.

long live (the walls we crashed through) by @fabbyf1 — taylor swift lyric and one thing you might not know about me is that I fuck heavily with my girl tay tay. also this song is so f1 coded so there’s that. anyways, childhood friends to lovers anyone??? love the rewriting of the narrative. God knew they’d be too strong as friends and made them rivals instead. but this fic? this fic tells the story of them growing up as friends beautifully and how they fall in love.

my bookmarks page wouldn't work on ao3 so I had to go searching lmao anywaysssss no-pressure tags: @beensinning @sediciii @zettychez @qdverti 🫶🏼

rec five fics with titles you particularly enjoy!

tagged by my beautiful @f1-giuki!! I had sm fun going through my brain (bc i don't bookmark for some reason) for these fics! I adore them (and the genius writers behind them) so so much <3

Homeward Bound by @f1-giuki: this fic is just home to me. i've gushed to gi enough times about this for them to get tired of me, but it will never stop me cause oh god this fic has my entire heart. i've cried with it, laughed with it and cursed it (sorry gi) but i won't ever ever get tired of it. every time i think of this fic, i wanna hold it close to my chest and sob bc it genuinely moved something in me (i want to marry it)

Frechheit by @additiva: this title is just so... cheeky (so original i know). the fic is so perfect and frechheit lestappen (and charles and max individually) are so so beloved to me.

I'll Be Right Beside You by @fabbyf1 : this fic is just... oh god. One of the very few fics I've read enough times to quote lines from it and still not get tired of it. my heart comes up to my throat every time i read it and it's a love letter to so many things, its beyond fucking beautiful. i also ADORE the song "Beside You" by Marianas Trench despite it being so different from what i usually listen to so <3 (I um opened the fic to link it to this post and i uh started reading it again).

La Rentree by @toppamplemousse: funny story bc the only french words i know are the words frequented by charles in the fics i read so i read 'la rentree' and thought it meant some sophisticated shit, but then i read it, laughed for five minutes, melted into a puddle for another five, hosted a pity-party for logan (oops spoilers but not really) and then googled what the title means and then laughed at MYSELF for another five minutes (im my biggest bully) so yeah... love this to smithereens.

Your Heart, Love (Has Such Darkness) by @creabirds: this fic is in a league of its own and is the holy grail of fics with morally ambiguous mcs to me. i cried and laughed with this fic and just… wow. it's so out of this world and put me through SO much and just... mended me in the end and- yeah. wanna hold it gently in my hands forever.

(rip to all the other bangers out there that i've failed to mentioned😔✊)

how do u think a younger!charles and older!max dynamic would be different than same age!lestappen? ever since u mentioned ur new wip… i’ve been going a little insane

yeah. me too anon...

ok i'm putting a cut in here because i rambled for SO long abt like. just lestappen to be honest

honestly i think my fic is probably not the right place to like. properly explore this because it's a time slip au so like. charles knows what His max is like and they've still grown up together etc but his big dilemma is trying to marry that together in his head with older max. because charles knows like. pre-world champion borderline mad max era max and then when he's confronted with a more mature older max it's difficult for him to reconcile......like i've been doing research for the winner's room au and in 2019 seb and lewis were still publicly saying that they race max differently to others because he's fucking crazy so LMFAO

but also charles in 2018 was still very much. a bit of a hater.....like i know for the past couple of years they've been all smiles and like oh we have a good relationship! in the past it was tense :))) but we're all good now! but in 2018 charles was very much like. i can't say we have a good relationship but I'm Not Here To Make Friends .... and max was literally silent abt it....so from the perspective of an age gap it's very much charles trying to be like. how the fuck is my older self in a relationship with MAX VERSTAPPEN and also why's he so soft and goofy and genuine and charming oh......dear.....what if he fucked me so i can get back to my original timestream.......

but honestly for a proper age difference au i struggle to say. bcs so much of lestappen to me is their history so divorced from that i think their dynamic would be very different and like. i hesitate to say not as compelling.....like. i'm so sorry to quote jos verstappen but this quote about them during their karting days lives in my mind rent free

A PROPHECY................ like to me this is why age gap lestappen is honestly for me. purely about getting to write older max fucking sauber charles. because sauber charles was still like. not that charles is exactly a rippling muscle monster now but like. in 2018 he was a tad more twinky....and max is like. Bigger now. so for me it's about aesthetics literally just because of the fact that like. to me it's always about the History.

ALSO i can't remember who said it i think it was one of my mutuals so full credit to whichever big brained beauty said this. but they pointed out that like. when max started driving lewis and seb and kimi etc always described his driving as over the line but charles has ALWAYS described driving against max as 'on the limit' and like. they know each other well from their karting days and they know how to race each other.............god. much to think about

however i think a true age gap au would have max being irritated by charles treating him exactly how max used to treat older drivers and just being fucking crazy. because max might have the mad max rep but like. charles is not exactly the epitome of safe sane and consensual racing himself.....anybody remember monza 2023

having said all that. please go and read frechheit by @additiva . i find lestappen age gap SO unbelievably compelling in this fic like. it is absolutely delicious and i think will satisfy your need for age gap lestappen and like. still somehow draws in all the regular lestappen insanity....being soulmates and knowing exactly how to race each other even sort of divorced from their history and it is just Brilliant !!

sorry for not answering your question at all. i'm so glad ur excited for the fic though ily <3

[additiva]

im back again for my weekly frech admiration !!!! truly so well written and with such bang on characterisations like my god I saw COTA turn 1 and wondered if someone had stuck frech Charles in there and then wondered how exactly u get everything so right.... additiva r u ....

Ty Ty Ty 🙂‍↕️

Your weekly admirations bring such joy to my life 🤍

I am him.

By which I mean Charles Leclerc, and also god.

COTA was peak Sharl insight 🤍 the mouse knew his advantage (Max-insight) and applied it perfectly.

Delicious.

hi, i was just wondering if you had any fic recs, specifically max pov (although i will take anything tbh)

HIII so I have an AO3 collection I bookmark my favourite F1 (+ motogp) fics to so it's very easy to link it to people. Here are all my recs! You can filter by ships and characters etc. Looking through my bookmarks, here are the ones that are from Max's POV:

Frechheit by @/additiva. Max/Charles, AU — age gap, rivals to lovers, 208k

glitch by @/nyoomfruits. Max/Charles, meet cute, famous/nonfamous, 26k

gone too far this time by Anonymous. Max/Esteban, omegaverse, heat fic, 5k.

my violence uncommitted by @/yekoc. Max/Daniel, omegaverse, secret omega Max, 17k.

last line game thanks @foggieststars ❤️ for the tag

“I think,” Oscar says slowly, breathing through his mouth, “you’re going into rut.”

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sorry if you’ve already done it… idk who’s already done it but i’m tagging @additiva @bright-and-burning @charlescoded @gayferrari @oscarpiastriwdc @piastriachios @strawberry-daiquiris @toppamplemousse @wormeo-and-juliette

[dafunzies]

to anyone reading:

THAT ONE FIC made me login here (which I haven’t done since 2015 but I don’t have ao3 acc SO), find @additiva and publicly admit that I’ve fallen in love.

the writing style is amazing! the plot is amazing! finally I’m reading the story about people, and finally I’m tempted to believe that it actually happened in parallel universe. which obviously means that it’s a very - I damn strongly emphasize - good piece of fiction.

additiv is well reversed in both max & charles; emotional side of lestappen relationship is described psychologically accurate (!!) and… well, smut is hot. they are hot. pure enemies to lovers with boiling blood, crushing bones and all that shit. finally.

why I’m writing it here? I don’t have ao3 acc, I’m sorry. why are you reading this? not for me to answer but-

RUN to FRECHHEIT and don’t let the wc scare you - I promise, you’ll be deeply invested.

[laura1633]

So glad that someone recognised it and that you managed to find it.

I think I might give it a read too 💕

La protesi al seno come regalo per i 18 anni, la mastectomia come «opera d’arte», la neomamma più anziana d’Italia

Piccole donne crescono, e si rifanno il seno. Di recente Emanuele Bartoletti, presidente della Società italiana di Medicina estetica, ha rilasciato delle dichiarazioni pubbliche per richiamare l’attenzione su un dato preoccupante, l’aumento di richieste di ritocchi al seno da parte di giovanissime. E visto che fin dal 2012 il ministero della Salute ha vietato gli interventi di mastoplastica estetica per le minorenni, la moda attuale si assesta sul confine: aumenta il trend di chi riceve un intervento di mastoplastica additiva come regalo di compleanno per i diciotto anni. Due taglie in più per la maggiore età.

Bartoletti osserva che molte neo-diciottenni sono spinte dalle madri più che dai fidanzati. E tanti saluti all’indottrinamento sulla femminilità libera da ceppi estetici stereotipati. C’è tentazione additiva come la mastoplastica. Il di più è un tocco artificiale e correttivo che riveda l’essere al rialzo dell’apparire, più somigliante a un’ipotesi di “io” autocostruito, quindi autodeterminato. In questo senso è, paradossalmente, additivo anche il bisturi che taglia.

Negli Stati Uniti ha sollevato un po’ di turbamento la sfilata del trans Gottmik, ospite della trasmissione Drag Race condotta da RuPaul. Gottmik ha ostentato un’impalcatura d’abito che metteva letteralmente in scena – con tanto di mani e sangue finti – una doppia mastectomia. Ha esibito la fierezza di aver aggiunto al suo corpo il tocco della sua scelta libera, decurtarsi della femminilità per poi essere un maschio che fa la drag queen.

«È un’opera d’arte», ha dichiarato Gottmik. Ma che siano protesi o tagli, purtroppo non hanno niente a che fare con ciò ribolle sotto, l’anelito inteso da Giovanni Paolo II quando disse ai giovani: «Prendete in mano la vostra vita e fatene un capolavoro».

A proposito di aggiunte, c’è un traguardo da segnalare. A 63 anni Flavia Alvaro è la neomamma più anziana d’Italia. Ha da poco partorito il figlio concepito in vitro grazie ai servizi dell’ormai famosa clinica di Kiev, la Biotex Com. Per quanto suoni paradossale, c’è un’intercapedine di realtà per cui si può dire dell’Ucraina che sia una terra da sogno, anche di questi tempi. Ad esempio, permette la fecondazione assistita senza limiti di età e realizza desideri incredibili.

Non c’è dubbio che un bravo paroliere saprebbe fare l’acrobazia retorica di associare il lieto evento di mamma Flavia alla tragicità della guerra. Qualcosa tipo: dove sovrabbonda la morte, il progresso scientifico sparge a piene mani la speranza della vita. Con i dovuti compensi, sia chiaro. Resta il fatto che un bimbo è nato, la cronaca c’informa che il figlio di Flavia è venuto alla luce con un parto cesareo d’urgenza, in anticipo di sette settimane. Prematuro, o forse impaziente. Come se avesse fretta di conoscere la sua mamma, come se si rendesse conto di arrivare oltre un tempo massimo. È in ballo un rapporto in cui il tempo, evidentemente, è un fattore rilevante e non a scopo di record.

thank you for tagging me @toppamplemousse and @saviour-of-lord !!

right now i have three ridiculous docs on my phone but because i hate naming things it looks a little insane like this:

on my tallest tiptoes (look an actual title!)

miami unnamed

"uh... yes?" (just the first phrase of the document that the app i write on used to name the thing and i havent bothered changing it)

not super sure on the etiquete rules of tagging but hi @additiva @panbaric and @loquarocoeur !

hi additiva!! was just reading the talks about swear words/the max situation and since people seemed to be coming from the "i have english as a second language therefore don't see the weight of saying fuck/shit/etc" i gotta come from the opposite lmao

i agree with you that in non native languages everything holds less meaning and you have less of an emotional attachment to it, but i also think some groups are simply used to cursing and use the words in english just as they would in their native tongue - as in there is the same meaning but perhaps not the same societal consequences. that's obviously not the best thing to do since when speaking english you have a whole other culture you have to "fit into", especially considering they are a more puritan/conservative when comparing to other places.

all of this to say i have no idea if the netherlands is used to cursing a lot even in dutch and that's why max simply doesn't see a problem with it or if he was trying to bullshit his way through this punishment a bit lmao but i gotta say, coming from somewhere that is known for cursing a lot i would have lots of trouble not being able to translate what im used to saying since im guessing "go fuck yourself lol" wouldn't be as wildly accepted as normal as a "vai se fuder kkkkkk"

Yess I completely get what you're saying. Big time agree. 🤍

Love to hear your perspective. I've spent a fair bit of time living in places where the language wasn't my native language, but obviously I haven't done it in English so :/

The Rules: If you're tagged, make a new post and share one or two sentences (or lines for artists) from your most recent unposted WIP with zero context

hehe

Charles shakily brings the lighter up to the cigarette held between his lips, cupping his hand to protect the flame from the biting wind as he lights it. Seb’s button down bears down heavily on his shoulders where it rests, fluttering in the wind as it hangs off them, too small for him to wear properly. The ache in his lower back matches the open wound that is his heart, throbbing like the bruised ring around his neck in the shape of Seb’s hand as he watches the smoke blow away, out into the November night, fickly floating back and forth at the whim of the current.

🗑 📚 ☕️ for the writer asks (and a hug just cause ❤️)

HUGS YOU BACK!!!

🗑 How hard is it for you to delete writing that gets cut?

OK SO. It depends. I should be more economically efficient as a writer and I think that all my drafts should be pared down by at least 10% and I could use fewer words in general. I do that in editing sometimes. It's terrible :(

But when I have whole scenes that no longer fit, I just cut-and-paste them into a different doc and sometimes they find a new life somewhere else. I feel less bad about that

☕️ What's your go-to drink while writing?

Water! I'm boring and water is the only thing I drink, really.

📚 Who's your favourite author (or a few of them)?

As we're both balls deep in F1 RPF currently, here are some favourite authors from those corners of ao3: crescenteluce @/janinaduszejko; sionisjaune @/sionisjaune; venerat; linearity @/drivestraight; yekoc @/yekoc; prettyrotten @/prettydangrotten; bestliars; antimonyandthyme @/antimonyandthyme; additiv @/additiva; limabina @/monacotrophywife.

Non mi sembrano così cadenti da fare una mastopessi additiva...anzi

e menomale, ho solo 22 anni😂

però devo contare il fatto che:

1. ho perso 20kg e devo perderne ancora un po’, quindi per forza si ammosceranno

2. non avrò 22 anni per sempre lol
