HAND OVER THE FF LESTAPPEN
alright, check it out
Charles blames the Instagram algorithm, when one day she’s scrolling aimlessly only to come across pictures of Max Verstappen in a bikini.
Max lounging on her stomach across a sunbed under the European sun next to a cerulean sea, the band of her dark blue bikini riding up, sitting snug across her muscular shoulders peppered with moles and the unmistakable shape of a fading wine-coloured mark high up on the curve of her shoulder that makes something in Charles's throat curdle and sets something strange and deep in her core alight.
She sends it to Pierre immediately, because of course she does.
Charles Look at this shit. She probably called the paps on herself.
And that’s the odd feeling deep in her stomach, it’s anger, the fact that Max can be snapped near naked on a strange foreign beach without consequence and Charles has to be careful that the knee-length skirt she wears on errands in Monaco doesn’t get blown up, lest she gets another embarrassing lecture from Mattia on her public image. Be careful Charletta, he would say, Santina is a better nickname than Puttana. Puttana, a fitting word to describe Max’s recent endeavours, really. Charles’s socials have been pushing her the pictures all week. Max outside bars, hanging onto tall men who make more in a year than Charles would care to mention, their young pretty wives off to the side with them, seemingly resigned to the fate of what’s happening. After all, who could compete with Max Verstappen, champion of the world?
#the vague idea is charles leclerc heavily repressed lesbian with a shit ton of internalised misogyny AND lesbophobia#also in this version charles gets the nickname santina instead of/on top of el predestinata#mainly because of this whole idea in media culture of women must be passive in their narrative#basically it's fi takes on a man-centred world view and takes an unwilling ff lestappen along with her#lestappen#fic bits#also charles is still charles because a. i cannot name swap when i genderbend#and b. i decided charles was catholic so it would be appropriate for her to just be named maria charles leclerc#and she goes by charles obviously because everyone and their mother has the first name maria in southern europe#ALSO MATTIA USES THE DIMINUTIVE FORM WITH CHARLES'S NAME BECAUSE HE'S A MISOGYNISTIC ASSHOLE!#anyway fun facts with fi#i've thought this out#maybe now that work calms down i'll get around to writing this properly i anticipate it to be maybe like a 30k oneshot
