Summer of Piarles: Choose Your Own Adventure!

Hiii fellow Piarlies, and welcome to the CC server's Summer of Piarles! This summer break, we're going to be bringing you a series of Piarles-focused events to keep us all from missing our boys too much while there's no F1.

First up, we have a writing challenge for our lovely writers: the Choose Your Own Adventure fic fest! For this event, we will provide you with a 3-level prompt diagram, and then you choose whichever prompts/tropes you like best in each level, and build your own fic from that.

You can find the prompt diagram below the cut:

(If you would like an image description of this diagram, please feel free to contact any of the mods - we will be happy to provide this for you ❤️)

If you're still not quite sure how this diagram works, we came up with this example choose-your-own-adventure fic:

So this fic would be a strangers-to-lovers historical AU, with elements of forced proximity, secret identity, and the "oh. oh" moment. (Sounds like a pretty fun fic, right? 👀) But there are many, many options, and we can't wait to see what you all come up with!!

Some Logistics:

The Choose Your Own Adventure challenge is open as of now, and will remain open until the 22nd of August.

You can post your fic(s) to the AO3 collection at any time during this period. They will all be revealed on the 23rd of August (the beginning of the next race weekend, so that we can all enjoy a weekend of racing and reading when F1 starts up again!)

You can find the AO3 collection here: Summer of Piarles: Choose Your Own Adventure (Summer_of_Piarles_2024).

The minimum word count for this event is 2k words, and there is no maximum 😉 You are also welcome to post multi-chapter fics for this challenge - just pinky promise us that you're planning to finish them someday xD

You do not have to fill in any Google Forms or anything to sign up - this is a very low-pressure, if-you-can-when-you-can type of challenge. This challenge is hosted by the Calamars Club Discord server, so all you need to do is join us there! (You can message any of the mods for an invite link to join the server.)

Your mods for this event are the fantastic team of @singsweetmelodies, @welightitup, @duquesademiel, @nolanseagull and @pinkierre ❤️

If you have any questions about any part of the event, please don't hesitate to message one of the mods. We are always happy to help!

But for now... happy summer break, and happy writing!! ❤️💙

if you’ll be my star | 14k one shot | Piarles

Pierre has dedicated his life to this singular thing and The Society is about to write his name next to the few other scientists who were patient like him - who were dedicated like him. The names of the people that inspired him, the stories of men who had been sailing or mountaineering. Who lived in tiny cabins like he did.

Pierre will be one of them.

“Come on, Leo.” He calls to Leo, trying to keep it from bursting out of his chest - the feeling of accomplishment - as he takes off in a jog for the treeline. “Let us make history.”

Or, Charles falls and Pierre finds him.

A gift fic for beloved @teamnick based on the song Boats & Birds by Gregory and The Hawk.

For anyone who read my first Nymph!Pierre / Violinist!Charles story, the first chapter of the sequel is now up!

Trials & Tribulations

Pierre Gasly/Charles Leclerc, T, 2.6k (Chapter 1)

“I will be back after the winter, maman,” Charles quietly promised. He knew that he made an unusual sight for someone who was traveling, nothing but his heaviest wool coat and his violin case in his arms. His mother smiled and pushed a stray curl of hair behind one of his ears. “I’m happy for you,” she murmured, smiling softly. Charles smiled back. It was clear that his family understood that something was going on with him, had been going on with him ever since Jules and his father passed away. Doubly so ever since Arthur miraculously recovered from the guaranteed death sentence that was Juniper Disease. Yet none of them had ever asked. There were no inquiries on why he disappeared so frequently into the woods with nothing but his violin. No questions when he would hum a new tune under his breath while working in the kitchens. Not a single comment about how neither scalding nor freezing water seemed to impact him. There was only love and trust from his family, and Charles greatly appreciated their implicit acceptance. Not that he could even begin to explain Pierre. Not when he himself understood so little. He knew that Pierre was a water nymph. That he had given Charles his heart to save his brother. That Charles had given him his own heart in return. His body had changed that day. He was still himself, but he was also a part of Pierre. Inseparable. As soon as the weather began to turn colder, he knew that it was time to leave. Pierre never stayed on the Material Plane for the winter. He couldn’t, really. Not with his pond freezing over. So he always went back to his home in the Feywild until the world defrosted. Charles was a part of him, so Charles was going with him.

“When they follow the sidewalk rule” for Piarles 💙❤️

They’d been together for coming up to ten years, going from scrawny awkward teenagers figuring out their new feelings for each other to Formula One race winners, men with all the world at their feet and more money than either of them had ever dreamed of, but their love had never changed. Sometimes they both wondered who they might have been without the other, whether they’d have lost some of their humility or let fame take over, but when Pierre took his hand, Charles didn’t feel like someone the newspapers printed headlines about, someone with so much weight on his shoulders and so much pressure bearing down on him; he just felt like that same boy with butterflies in his stomach smiling at his best friend. The same boy with the same rituals, like Pierre still switching sides with him on the pavement to stay on the road side.

It had taken Charles a long time to even notice Pierre was doing it, because he never made a fuss or drew attention to it, but if they crossed or turned a corner and the road swung round, Pierre would step across to put himself between Charles and the road. The first time he’d clocked it was when they were about seventeen, when their relationship was in the early days and they were walking back from a date at one of Charles’ favourite pasta places in Monaco. It had been expensive for them at that point, but they’d saved up to splash out. Charles had started laughing and called Pierre out on it when he swapped, and Pierre had been half embarrassed that the little things he tried to do to take care of Charles had been spotted, but he’d never stopped.

Now they were walking back from that same spot, without having to blink at the prices on the menu, hand in hand through the familiar streets of Monaco. It was summer and the sun was only just sinking behind the harbour, a warm blue dusk settling over them and cars turning their headlights on as they passed. Pierre let go of Charles’ hand to step around him, picking the contact back up on the other side.

“Mon petit, I think by now you don’t need to protect me. I am taller than you.” Charles went on his tiptoes for a step as if to prove it, his arm bumping lightly against Pierre’s as he came back down. Since he’d outgrown Pierre, he’d taken to calling him the same affectionate nickname that Pierre used to tease him with back when Charles was a good head and a bit smaller than he was.

“Ah, but I am older. And stronger.” Pierre grinned his usual wolfish, satisfied grin, squeezing Charles’ hand gently in his.

“And so modest.” Charles rolled his eyes, but he couldn’t stop smiling all the same.

“I can’t protect you from much, chéri, but I will try to give you one less thing to worry about,” Pierre said in a more serious tone, and when Charles looked sideways at him he was staring off somewhere into the distance across the water, as he so often did when caught saying something soppy. Another thing that hadn’t changed.

Charles felt a warmth blossoming inside his chest and he leaned in to kiss Pierre’s cheek, a silent thank you for always being there. He felt lucky that their little rituals never died, that decades of friendship and years racing against each other in the fiercest motorsports competition in the world had never tainted their bond. His Maman always said it was the little things about Charles’ father that had mattered the most – the fact he knew how she had her coffee and that he’d always bring a glass of water up to bed every night because he knew she’d wake up thirsty. All these small ways of showing you paid attention felt so much more special than the grand gestures, so even if Charles was pretty sure he wasn’t in much danger from walking alongside the road, he adored that Pierre was still doing this ten years later, and hoped he always would.

"Promise me, you'll name our daughter Esthée"

Thinking about a Pierresteban/Piarles version of Kutch Kutch Hota Hai (a bollywood classic I highly recommend). Might have to make it mpreg/omegaverse, eh depends on people.

They're in college and Pierre and Esteban are besties, they always fight each other but make up at the end of the day. They're inseparable until Charles arrives and Pierre falls in love, he starts to drift away from Esteban. As he witnesses Pierre's attempts at flirting with Charles, Esteban realises he's in love with Pierre and can't take it when Pierre and Charles finally start to date. He goes back home to his parents and even after heartfelt goodbyes they never talk to each other again. Charles feels guilty about it, he knows how they both love each other but he loves Pierre too so he can't give up on him either. They get married and have a baby girl together, but there's complications and Charles has little time left. His last wish is for Pierre to name their daughter after their friend and gives letters for their daughter to read when she grows up.

Years go by and Pierre never re-marries, he keeps himself busy with work. Esthée has grown up too, she's a brilliant little girl and can't wait to read her last letter Charles wrote for her. In this letter he tells her how he met her father and his bestfriend, how he's sad that he was the reason they don't see each other again, how he thinks Esteban is Pierre's true love. He express his wish for them to get back together so Pierre can be happy again. So that's the mission Esthée gives herself, with the help of Pierre's mom she's going to find Esteban in a summer camp where he's an instructor. Esteban is disturbed by the little girl, she's too smart for her age and he could swore he saw those blue eyes somewhere. Esthée is in awe when she meets him, he's so tall and has to crouch to speak to her

"Hi, I'm Esthée"

"Hello Esthée, my name's Esteban. Funny how we almost have the same name"

"That's because I was named after you, my parents really liked you" she said with a smile.

The little girl was maybe a little weird, but he has met worse cases in the camp. It starts to make sense when he has a little chat with the girl and she explains how sad her dad is since his husband died; he has to hold back tears when he put the pieces together and realises Charles is dead, he was still is friend after all. They find that they both hate how Pierre finds a way to be late and they tell each other stories about him.

Now that Esthée found Esteban, she has to make sure her father would come to the summer camp so they can meet again. She pretends to be sick and Pierre is there the next day. (such a girl dad)

He's shocked to find Esteban and Esthée together, and can't find words to say. They let Pierre stay at the camp for a few days, he spends most of them watching Esteban with the kids, and actually talking to him at night when the little ones are sleeping. Esthée stays up at night watching them reconnect and feels satisfied with herself, the plan's working. Pierre realises how in love he is with Esteban, but maybe it's too late. Esteban has a fiancé.

Fake Dating w piarles 👉👈

22. Fake Dating

Ferrari sits them both down on a Thursday and tells them the truth: the team is going to shit. Which--Pierre could've told them that in the first place, if he's being honest. It's not like they're not competing in the MotoGP sphere, but even on two wheels, Red Bull just seems so much god damn faster, and try as he might, he can't make up the ground he needs to for a championship with this bike. He loves Ferrari, he does, it's just...

It hasn't exactly been their year. Sitting beside him in the chair, Charles' body language tells him that it's the same in the F1 paddock too.

"We are bleeding money," Fred says flatly, "and we're going to break cost cap if we try anything on our engines." Which isn’t exactly the most reassuring start of a conversation to be having with your boss. “So we need to figure this out off the track.”

“What do you expect us to do,” Charles deadpans, unfurling a little in his seat. Pierre, admittedly, is a little shocked—he doesn’t really know Charles all that well, outside of the occasional PR events the whole Ferrari organization is required to attend, but from everything he’s heard, Charles Leclerc is a soft-spoken, mild-mannered driver who just turns the energy on out in the field. This is not soft-spoken at all. “We are drivers, Fred, not cash cows.” Pierre bites his tongue. Charles is right, of course, but he’s—he’s not going to stick his foot in his mouth by actively agreeing with him right now.

Fred just levels him with a tired look. “I know that, Charles. And I am doing my best to get you a better car—” he turns to Pierre briefly, “and you a better bike,” then back to Charles, “but in the meantime, we have to make due.” He sighs, then grabs one of the folders stacked neatly on his desk. “Public Relations had an idea.”

-

The idea is for them to date.

Not for real, of course, Fred had stressed the importance of that: it’s only in public, and they don’t need to really do anything besides appear together close in public. “It will drive the tabloids in Maranello crazy,” he’d said, “and it will hopefully give us some financial buffer between now and the end of the season.” It’s definitely an out-there plan, but honestly, Pierre has been so frustrated with his racing season that he’ll do anything to get himself a better, faster bike for next year.

Including this. Charles apparently feels the same, because there’s no argument over the plan once it’s laid out—they sign off on the paperwork from the PR department, listen to Fred make an endless slew of promises about swimming in champagne by next year, and then.

Well, and then they leave the building as boyfriends. Pierre doesn’t think he’s had more than two conversations with Charles before this moment, so as they reach the front doors of Ferrari’s headquarters, he stops in his tracks. Charles, blessedly, notices. “What?”

“I…” Pierre shakes his head. “Are we starting now?” The afternoon has gone overcast, clouds threatening rain all over the otherwise-warm summer afternoon.

Charles shrugs. “Why not?” He gestures outside, to the surprisingly-empty square out front. “No one is here, so we can at least…practice.” He hums. “See what works.” It feels like too awkward of a conversation to get into right now, all things considered. Maybe Charles is right.

“Makes sense,” Pierre agrees after a slightly-too-long beat. “So do you…?” He’s not sure what he’s asking, really, but he extends a hand to Charles anyway.

Charles, who nods slightly, then takes Pierre’s hand in his own. He’s warm. His hands are soft. Pierre tries not to look into why he shivers when their fingers slowly interlock.

-

The idea goes off the rails with six races left to go in the F1 calendar.

Pierre had expected it to happen sooner, if he’s being honest—but not for this reason. When they’d signed off on their PR forms and clauses, he’d had an inkling that he and Charles wouldn’t mesh well, which would make the fake relationship that much harder to maintain in front of all the cameras surrounding them both on-track and off. The spotlight of Ferrari and all that. It’s one thing to be friends with someone in your team, but it’s another thing entirely to pretend to date them, and Pierre’s no actor.

Yet here he is, standing in Charles’ garage on the paddock with the Ferrari-branded headset and Charles-branded sweatshirt, and he’s finding that this whole pretend relationship thing is going off the rails because the moment Charles hops out of his car at the end of the practice session, he makes a beeline right for Pierre and all but crashes them into the back wall with the force of his kiss.

This whole thing is going off the rails because Pierre goes with it so easily it’s like breathing, not a second thought in sight. Charles is soaked in sweat, he can feel it seeping from his race suit into Pierre’s street clothes, and there are balaclava lines etched deep in his face, but Pierre doesn’t care. He doesn’t care, which means when he winds his arms around Charles’ shoulders to urge him closer. Charles takes the hint easily. He surges forward with the next kiss, pressing Pierre so forcefully against the back wall of the garage that he thinks he’s going to have some marks of his own.

“Don’t you have a debrief,” Pierre manages when they split for air, foreheads still leaned together. Charles huffs a laugh, shakes his head a little. Droplets of sweat cascade from his hair onto Pierre’s face.

“Had to see you first,” is the answer he gets, and Pierre can’t swallow his reactive moan. Two weeks ago in Barcelona, Charles had said the same thing in Pierre’s driver’s room after MotoGP’s qualifying session before giving him the blowjob of his life behind closed doors.

Fuck. Fuck, fuck fuck. “Yeah,” he manages in reply after a beat, “bet you did.”

i feel so high school (au) pt. 6.A: piarles

anyway here are some high school aus for my fav f1 rpf ships and an exploration of who knows how to ball, and who knows aristotle

(based on american high school setups cause of the song)

photographer!charles and motocross!pierre: pierre knows how to ball, charles knows aristotle. they’ve known each other since they were kids, lived on the same street, in fact neither of them can remember a time before the other was in their lives. it’s a small, folksy-looking town right on the edge of a national park, so not only is it surrounded by forests and mountains but it’s pretty cut off from “the outside world”. no nearby amusement parks or sports stadiums, if you want to have fun there and you’re a kid your playground is the Great Outdoors. that’s where young charles and pierre have their best memories together. they’d go exploring on nearly-forgotten hiking trails, form their own trails when they discovered a cave or a spring or a waterfall or somewhere they liked to go back to. pierre was better at climbing rocks but charles was way better at climbing trees, and they were definitely way too competitive at stone skipping considering they were both egregiously lenient about what constituted a “full skip”. they went camping every summer, tried to go stargazing and ended up making their own constellations, just two kids and nature.

it changed a little bit around middle school. their hometown had an elementary but that’s it so all the kids in that age group had to take the bus to the next town over for the next two schools. that town wasn’t really any more urban, but it was definitely bigger and being surrounded by so many new people threw a wrench into everyone’s social life. it was practically a rite of passage. pierre starts to drift away from charles in the first place because he finally meets some other kids who ride dirt bikes. he and charles both have one and while he was constantly trying to get charles to join him, charles would pretty much always say no and pierre would begrudgingly agree; now he’s got friends who will actually go riding with him and he’s elated. it doesn’t seem like such a big deal but he starts spending more and more time with them, especially after school, and ends up taking a different bus home because he stays in that town later. charles gets a little worried and tries to approach him about it, like hey why are you hanging out with those rough-looking kids? why are you out so late i thought you had a curfew? and even though he means well pierre feels increasingly like charles is trying to mother him and being overbearing and even a little possessive (although this last one is closer to the truth).

so they grow apart, only charles has spent so long with pierre that he never really made other friends and he’s left a little stranded. instead of taking the ambitious risk of trying to find new people he gets really invested in various hobbies, trying to disappear into his mind and feel less alone. he goes through half a dozen crafty activities (songwriting, sketching, any musical instrument he can find in a tourist shop) until he gets a camera for his birthday and that’s something he can finally connect with. that’s one of the last moments he spends with pierre when he could still consider them “friends”, bringing pierre along on this really tall hiking trail so he can get the optimal viewpoint and pierre hasn’t seen charles with this much wonder and excitement in his eyes in so long and when charles is taking his picture pierre feels suddenly bashful like he doesn’t deserve that much attention, doesn’t deserve to be treated like an art piece… and if there was any one moment the two of them could have realized what was really going on between them that would’ve been it but do either of them do even a little bit of self-reflection? noooo

they graduate to high school and if charles thought anything would change he’s wrong, but maybe things are starting to look up for him a bit. by now he’s coming around to the fact that he’s definitely not straight, even though that hadn’t even been a possibility only a few years ago he’s a teenager and he’s old enough to start having certain thoughts about certain people. if he and pierre were still super close maybe he would’ve been able to take more notice of his own complex feelings, but as it is it’s a lot of fleeting infatuation and half-formed lust around boys who barely know he exists. that changes when he meets carlos and lando, two guys in his year; they’re friends because they’ve both moved recently from much bigger cities and don’t have a lot in common with the small-town park ranger crowd. they also don’t know charles’s somewhat loser status so they kind of take him in, and he’s just so relieved to have friends that he doesn’t really question whether carlos looks at him a little too long sometimes or tries to get him alone an awful lot. in fact he finds he rather likes the attention. the three of them fall into this sort of little-too-close rhythm where the lines between friendliness and flirting are so blurred they might as well not even be there.

pierre, on the other hand, has kind of gone down the opposite path. when high school started he got a motor bike for the first time and as soon as he felt that level of speed and adrenaline he was pretty much addicted. the group of guys he runs with have mostly gotten their own bikes aw well and it’s not long before a few of them start to compete, there are actually trails nearby in dried out lake beds and such and he finds that even as an amateur he’s got serious talent. that starts to be his dream, to be a pro athlete, and that journey starts early. between races and sponsorship events and basically joyrides, charles pretty much never sees him. but they’ve got something major in common now.
