#thank you so much for the questions alex!! 🥰

5, 11, 34 📚

5. what book do you think everyone should read?

invisible women by caroline criado perez! it’s a work of nonfiction that details the way in which the world is, essentially, designed for men as the default, and the many ways in which lack of data that takes gender into consideration makes society more inhospitable to women.

i also think that in the dream house by carmen maria machado should be mandatory reading, especially for gay women. it contains some of the best writing i have ever read, and the ideas and perspectives she provides are so important.

the fire next time by james baldwin, because i remember reading it and thinking that this is something that everyone should read.

and finally, the wall by marlen haushofer, just because it’s my favourite book of all time, and it has such a unique premise. i don’t think it would leave anyone unmoved.

11. what book do you want to read but haven’t?

i fear there is a countless amount of books that i want to read but haven’t yet. however, one that i really need to get to is sister outsider by audre lorde, i’ve had it on my bedside table for over a year but still haven’t started reading it…

also, a more recent addition to my endless tbr list is written on the body by jeannette winterson. i’ve adored every book i’ve read by her before, and a few days ago i saw this

review that lucy dacus had posted on goodreads. and if her verdict is “personally, i’m gay,” i simply have to read it.

i also have to mention war of the foxes by richard siken which i’ve been meaning to read ever since i read crush (@somethinginthestatic i promise i haven’t forgotten about it)

34. do you read more than one book at a time?

usually i don’t, i prefer to focus on one book at a time. however, i have to do it right now to balance my reading for class with my Other reading.

send me book asks!

Can you do a Lewis Hamilton smau where she is basically like Barbie? I feel like since Barbie is a fashion icon and so is Lewis, it would be a match made in Heaven. I read your pinned post and tried to make a request based on your rules. Sorry if it isn’t good enough

HI BARBIE! HI KEN! [part 1, LH44 smau]

Lewis Hamilton x reader

Masterlist & Hi Barbie! Hi Ken! [part2, LH44 smau]

Summary: Lewis Hamilton is part-time Formula One driver and full-time fashion icon. And so is his girlfriend, Y/N Y/L/N, who's also known as a real life Barbie.

Warnings: None... but a lot of pink XD. Also this story is set in December 2023, so no broken hearts over Lewis going to Ferrari... actually maybe just a little teaser.

Author's Note: Hi Anon! This request is great and thank you so much for it, it definitely is good enough! :) I had fun writing and creating this, even though at the end it's kind of different than what I firstly intended to do. The original idea was to make Y/N very Barbie coded, but at the end I'd say she's Barbie inspired and I focused more on the fashion icon part of the request. Though there's a sweet storyline about why her nickname is Barbie, so I hope you won't be disappointed! :)

photo 2: Y/N: It was actually in a toy store. Lew was there with his niece and I was there because... [laughs] Let's say I still like to collect dolls and lego, sue me.

photo 3: Y/N: Anyway, Lew's niece saw me, thought I'm a real life Barbie and wanted to say hi. [laughs] It was honestly so sweet that I didn't have the heart to tell her I'm just a normal girl.

photo 4: Y/F/N: So does she still think you're Barbie? [laughs]

Y/N: Yeah, I think so... She calls me Auntie Barbie! [laughs too]

photo 5: Y/N: But back to Lewis - I didn't recognize him and just thought he's really cute. We talked for few minutes, though then I had to leave and didn't have the courage to ask for his number.

photo 6: Y/N: But few days later he followed me on Instagram and I was just like - yes!

Why are these giving Victorian Loscar going for a walk/promenade?

George is in the background losing his mind because how dare this little upstart ask his baby to go for a walk (chaperoned of course tho George is stalking them not so discretely as well) and then he not only shares an umbrella with Logan but Oscar also pauses to speak to another gentleman!! Logan does not mind that Oscar paused to answer one question, and he likes that Oscar offered to hold the umbrella/parasol because George often does so for Alex. Logan wants a love like his parents!!

I love it when I'm sent photos. They're always so fun to respond to.

I love where you're going with this and I see it to.

****

Logan dressed in baby blue and ivory lace with a cream hat dotted with roses and a lace parasol. Oscar in a brown suit and vest with a top hat. They're promenading through the park with Alex four steps behind then as a chaperone and George behind Alex muttering angrily the whole time.

Logan's wrists starts to get tired of holding the parasol, so Oscar reaches over and gently takes it from him, slightly making contact with Logan's gloved hand. Strike one. George is gasping in the back anyways as Alex calls him dramatic.

They continue walking with Oscar holding Logan's parasol and shielding him from the sun. According to the rules, they are much too close. Strike two. They're talking about the weather, Oscar's travel, and what beaches they'll be traveling to in July. It just so happens that Oscar and Logan's summer homes are on the same. beach so they will still be able to see each other.

On their walk, Oscar runs into an old friend he hasn't seen in years and strikes up a conversation. As the two catch up, Logan is happily standing there under the parasol that has not budged a single inch.This would be considered rude as promenading with an omega during the courting phase meant a one's attention must be focused solely on the one being courted. Strike three.

George is, of course, furious. There are strict rules of etiquette when it comes to courting and to commit such a faux pas so early in the process was a reason to end the process.

"Alex!" George whispered harshly.

Alex rolled his eyes and turned around. "You hold my parasol all the time when my hands hurt."

"That's different."

Alex raised an eyebrow before seeing the pair starting to walk again and moving to follow them.

"Alex!" George briskly walked to catch up to his spouse.

Aaaaaah, you really put me in the ringer for the buildup and episode of that moment! 😅

I legit thought that the whole confrontation with Alex and how it would be handled would be different, foolish me, I let my guard down.

And then I saw Alex tied up in the chair and I was immediate like “Goddamnit Hades 😭”

You got me, especially with the latest chapter! 😁 Wasn’t expecting the Fates there, but I liked your interpretations of them. From what I can assume, they give off a streetwise vibe 🤩 Probably didn’t help with the graffiti in the first panel (which is beautiful btw)

Overall, this definitely makes me nervous cited for the upcoming chapters! 😊

But big question here: Since we saw Hades’ judgment, will we see Persephone’s judgment as well one day?

For Alex or Hades’ crimes? Take your pick :)

I wish you good luck on everything 🍀, everything has been amazing so far and will definitely stick around, but take your time with everything! 👋🥰

ahh thank you for the kind words! yeah fair warning, I'm not above giving my readers feels, there's nothing I love more than the thrill of a heartwrenching episode >:3 (and it's been so, so long since I've gotten to write and draw subject matter like that LOL)

Also credit for all the cool graffiti art goes to Banshriek! 9 times out of 10 the background art and all the fun little secrets in it are their work, they're the best <3

To answer your question: I can't tell you that, I don't want to spoil what I have planned! But I'm definitely gonna be doing my own spin on the "Dread Queen" that I'm really hoping y'all will enjoy, and that'll include the fallout from the eye-pulling, don't you worry about that ;3

Thank you so much for reading !!! 🥰

Thanks for uploading ep 1 of the doco – while it’s clearly a highly managed piece of media, it remains a rich text for Max scholars. Entirely aside from padel shirtlessness.

I think my favourite parts were:

Max just being a huge racing nerd, which we already knew but I always enjoy.

Competence kink, especially that final GT3 testing session.

Going from me not knowing anything about his GT3 racing team to ‘oh of course it’s his ride-or-die childhood friend who he’s mentoring, because Max attaches early and hard or not at all’.

Max’s sincere enjoyment of/commitment to The Process which helps him offset being a nightmare of competitiveness. (Something I particularly admire and respect in Alex Albon as well.)

It may have been the editing but I got a kick out of that video call after Suzuka. ‘Congratulations on winning the championship—’ ‘Yeah thanks, now here are many questions about your GT3 race weekend…’

Max looking relaxed in the talking heads even though he was doing them solo, without someone else onscreen to bounce off. Basically the opposite of his DTS talking heads.

(I understand why Max’s horrible dad™️ has such a big presence but for the sake of my blood pressure, on rewatch maybe I’ll use a post-it note to block him from my sight. 🙃 )

I don't see enough people talk about things this way any more in fandom on tumblr, including myself btw, except in tags but even then not so much, so I enjoyed getting this ♥

Yeah, same wrt how huge of a racing nerd he is. The fact that Thierry had to explain to him several procedures of the GT3 car first because it was new to him and then he did some laps and knew exactly what needed to be changed to improve the car. With giving credit to Thierry and the "engineers are stubborn, that's just how they are" comment 😂 And yesss, that final testing session where the head of track engineering is so impressed that he expects to be talking about it during nights at the bar in years to come. I was like: that's our boy, yeah 😊

I wouldn't be surprised if that was how that Suzuka phone call really went! He's so serious about his commitment and guidance to other drivers and it was one of my favourite things we got to see in this episode. Him being direct about things that aren't good without being rough or cruel, making me think that is part his character and part his own experiences (the good and bad ones). He seems good at constructive criticism; "here's what you're doing wrong or what you need to improve and here's what you can do about that." Lovelovelove.

Also, him being more nervous when watching family and friends race than when he has to do it himself because of the control. Which is such a common thing for people to feel (not just in racing) but I love knowing this about him.

I agree about the talking heads parts. Genuinely relaxed! The bit where they cut to his laughter about Thierry's remote control car 🥰

Other favourite bit: the "so much grip" comment about his shoes, in unison like it's an old familial in-joke.

The G-Star RAW interview is a good one! I feel like it should be like a first go-to for (new) Max fans who want to know a little bit more about him, even though it's a bit older already. I never saw any flirting in this though, but I'd put that down more to Edwin Evers than Max!

ETA: also. the maxplaining to Thierry after padel!!!

[raisingmybanner]

Banner!!!!! Welcome 🥰

I have fond memories of your little snippets during writing sprints, so I have to ask you this one!!

Share your crunchiest bit(s) of dialogue with zero context

Hello!! Thank you so much for the welcome (and the ask)! <33 You are so kind.

(Ahaha I am so happy to have gotten this question several times so I can choose multiple little bits to share XD)

“Hi, call me Ling,” the prince said with a small wave and a plate heaped with something that looked suspiciously like frosted doughnuts. “Someone said you were the man to talk to about art.”

Riza was distracted from her surprise by the doughnuts. It was lunchtime, and Riza hadn’t seen any doughnuts on their table. Where had they come from?

“Not me,” Mustang said at once, getting over any surprise he had felt with admirable swiftness. “You must mean Alex Armstrong. I’m just an amateur.”

“That’s not what I heard,” the prince said, stuffing a doughnut in his mouth. “Ohh these are wonderful. Mei will hate them. I need to bring her at least three.”

“I assure you, Alex would know anything you’d want to know,” Mustang said. 

“Anything I want to know?” Ling mused. “Your name would be a good place to start. And your wife’s?”

“Ignatius Chris,” Mustang said quickly, looking (perhaps genuinely) flustered. Riza wanted to pin a medal on the young man for bringing Mustang back down to earth, even if she didn’t know why he was here and didn’t trust him. “And this is Sue Gemin, my fiancée.”

“Ah, fiancée, apologies,” Ling said, nodding at Riza and smiling. “Much better that way, I’ve found.”

[lamentationsofalonelypotato]

Hey friend!! For EOY Asks (sorry this is a little bit late lol), can I ask any or all you feel like answering: #2, #5, #12, #20, #21, #25 😘

Hello My Friend 🥰 It's okay, I've had a slow start to the new year anyway lol

#2 A Piece You're Proud Of And Why

This is a toughie... I will narrow it down to two lol. I know we talk a lot about Take A Chance On Me, but I am proud of that fic series because it is the first time I've created a long term series from scratch that I had to plot out myself, instead of reworking or essentially re-writing a tv show episode or movie and inserting a reader. You Call It Madness, is also a long term series and it has original scenes in it... but I do rely on the timeline and episodes of the Boys Season 2 more and I'm really proud that I was able to create a completely original storyline for Take A Chance.

But I am also really proud of my fic In Another Life, that I wrote for Dean Winchester. It's the first fic that I ever wrote for a Jensen Ackles character and the first one I wrote for Dean Winchester and I agonized FOREVER about posting it, but I'm so glad I did because as soon as I did, the responses I got for that fic started making me want to write more and post more stories. Before that I'd only posted a couple of fics, but it was the support of the Supernatural Fandom and really the wonderful community of people on Tumblr that inspired me to keep trying. 🥰

#5 A Scene You Enjoyed Creating

I did answer this and #20 in another ask here 😅, but I think another scene that I enjoyed creating was the scene in Long As I Can See The Light with the reader patching up Russell. It was a lot of fun putting myself in his head and writing the flirty banter of him shooting his shot while he was actually shot lol! I'm hoping to return to that reader and Russell later this year 😊

#12 A Concept You'd Like To Develop Next Year

Oooo I really like this one. I've been brainstorming a time travel fic that I got an idea for when I was watching Terminator (I love that movie lol) and while thinking about writing another Enemies to Lovers with Soldier Boy. I'm hoping to have it come out as soon as I finish If The Stars Wish It So.

#21 Something That Made You Emotional

I'm not going to lie Alex, every time I read one of your fics it makes me emotional LOL 😂.

The one that got me the most was Devour Me Part 2. There are so many parts in that fic where I was trying my best to hold it together, but oh my word it hit me right in the heart when Dean and the reader were yelling at each other. My heart still breaks at the line "I hope you learned your damn lesson" from Dean to the reader. It is so much harsher than Dean just commenting that he told her not to do something. I don't know what it is about that line, but it really is just so harsh and almost a little cold. I know he loves her and he's only doing it because he was scared, but man it still hurts. Also when they go to bed and the reader turns away from Dean, it was just so heartbreaking. I can't wait to dive back into that series this year!

#25 A Scene Or Image That Lives Rent Free In My Head

I mean... imagining cowboy Dean in your The Honorable Choice series ALWAYS lives rent free in my head lol.

But also @thebiggerbear wrote a really wonderful fic/prompt called "What Do You See In Him?" "Everything You Don't" that was a reader x Soldier Boy fic and it's so cute. I could see that conversation happening between a reader and Hughie, especially if Hughie is the reader's best friend or her brother. I think that the reader in that fic being able to see past what everyone else does was so lovely 😊

Thank you so much for asking me questions my wonderful friend! Happy New Year!!! 😘

If anyone else would like to ask me some here is the list of EOY asks!

What really happened between Alex and Miles in 2017? I discovered their story and events that year are often mentioned, I heard about depression about Alex and it's true that he changed a lot (physically too) from this period...

I love your blog ;)

aw thank you so much! <3🥰

tbh i don't read too much about what might've happened between them, it just makes me really depressed lmao. no one really knows, except them, and if you know the main things, then your guess is as good as mine, and i probably won't be saying anything new.

you might know already, but the general idea is that everything seemed to go wrong in the summer of 2018, specifically july, when alex and taylor break up and he gets a new gf. now, i think it's pretty clear that LV and miles don't really... get along/like each other? not sure what the right words would be. there might've been more going on, but i think that miles must've known/found out that alex was cheating, and we all know that miles and taylor were really good friends. so, maybe miles didn't really like what alex had done to taylor, and also didn't like LV? the question is whether they (alex and miles) had a fight about this, did miles call alex out and tell him he's a prick (it's what i would've done), or was there something more going on on top of all this, something between them that had nothing or little to do with any gf. i don't think we'll ever know. there could be a chance that the eycte tour had certain aftermaths that they didn't thing it would have, and maybe they messed around too much and thought that they could get away with it and it wouldn't change anything between them, when in fact it did.

this twitter thread from 2019 sums everything up pretty nicely: them performing 505 together for the last time (where everything seems to be okay still), miles saying that tlsp3 will come "very soon" in september 2018 (which it didn't, so something had to happen - covid, but maybe other things too...), new gf alert (things are wrong), la cigale (thing are very wrong), miles opening for am but not doing 505 with them, them being at the same fashion shows and apparently not meeting up, some of miles' lyrics that he could've written about them from coup de grace, and then them eventually being seen together again finally towards the end of 2019 (things seem to be okay-ish again?), and then in 2020 and 2021. it's in spanish but google translate should do the job: https://x.com/drunkkatemoss/status/1150079970951094272?s=20

if someone knows more though, feel free to tell us. it looks like they weren't on the best of terms for about one year, from july 2018 to september 2019, but again, we don't know. things sure are different than before, but i think their love is still strong, or at least it's what i hope it to be. they're definitely okay compared to a couple of years ago lmao

[uhbasicallyjustmilex]

Just finished Here Comes The Sun and it was absolutely brilliant. I want a ⭐️ director’s commentary ⭐️ on how you navigated Alex’s side of it all. Of course we’re only privy to Miles’ internal dilemma, but you did such a great job of Alex giving Miles signs, yet there were moments where I couldn’t read him at all and kept me guessing (in a good way).

Sorry if this was a longer ask than you were hoping!

hiii 💗 thank you so much for your lovely words about here comes the sun, i'm SO glad to hear you enjoyed it 🥰🥰

oooh that's a great question (and thank you so much, i love that alex managed to keep you guessing too)! i wrote that fic almost a year ago now, so the process isn't as fresh in my mind now as it would have been then, but i do have a few thoughts on your question:

i think the fact i wrote it very shortly after getting into tlsp was a big factor in why i wrote it the way i did - i think it made it easy to get into the headspace of someone (aka miles) who was on the outside looking in, having a sense of what might have been going on with alex but not really knowing for sure, just having a few pieces to try and put things together from and still very much trying to figure things out. one of the things that's always struck me so much about alex is his contradictory capacity to simultaneously be so vulnerable and open whilst also hiding himself so effectively. he's a little like a cloudy day where you catch glimpses of the sun here and there between bits of cloud, but never quite for long enough to see the whole thing - and i feel like that's a sense i really wanted to capture when writing this fic? like giving little vignette moments of the sunshine (eg alex's drunken conversation with miles), but interspersed with enough cloud to give that sense of uncertainty for miles that pushed him to think about and examine his own feelings more in a way he wouldn't have had to otherwise.

also, although i wanted to keep that kind of chameleon-esque ambiguity that feels so characteristic of alex, i also knew very clearly in my own mind where he was emotionally at throughout the fic, so i think that helped pin things into place and gave shape to certain scenes even when that wasn't obviously being addressed.

i took so much inspiration in terms of body language/expressions/ways of speaking from interviews and performances of alex and miles together, and i think pulling those little tells into the story as much as i could really helped me navigate alex's side of things in a way that felt authentic (to me, anyway!)

i have to admit, writing alex and the signs he was exhibiting (and trying to hide sometimes) in this fic was absolutely one of my favourite things about it. in my mind, he was resigned to his feelings and very back and forth about how much to reveal to miles throughout the fic. how much he wanted miles was tempered by how much he cared about him and their friendship, so he was kind of constantly fluctuating between a kind of challenging 'fuck it, let miles see how i'm feeling and do what he will' and a desire to protect himself from rejection and fear of losing what they have with their friendship/hurting miles. so he kind of goes from moments of recklessly just laying everything on the table (eg that entire first smut scene where he just looks at miles, holding miles's gaze when there are those moments of tension between them after their flirty tussling etc.), to suddenly pulling everything back because it feels suddenly too real and too risky (eg the morning where he's writing stuff sitting outside on the curb). and that constantly fluctuating headspace of course made it SO much harder for miles to figure out what was really going on. i think all the way through, alex suspects that miles feels something too, but he doesn't really *know*, and he doesn't trust his own judgement - it's only when miles gives him a really clear sign at the end that he's able to finally make that move.

oh help this ended up just being a huge long ramble, and i'm not even sure if i've fully answered your question 😅 i don't feel like i've been super coherent, but i hope this makes a little bit of sense or at least gives a glimpse into my headspace when writing alex!

thank you for asking such an interesting question, this was a lot of fun to think about 🥰

[queen-of-voltronian]

A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION TILLY, AND URGENT:

ARE YOU OK WITH PEOPLE PRINTING AND BINDING YOUR FANFICS? (not for profit, but to have and to hold) SPECIFICALLY My Soul Has Your Claim, My Soul Is In Flames BC ITS ONE OF THE BEST FUCKING FICS IVE EVER READ IN MY LIFE

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, EVEN IF THE ANSWER IS NO, I WANT YOU TO KNOW MY LOVE FOR THE FIC REGARDLESS 🙏🙏

Omg yes yes YES please print and bind to your little heart’s content!! I’m SCREAMING AKSHSGJKLAKJS

me: reader wants to bind my fanfic? Reader loves my story so much they want to make themselves a hard, physical copy?? OH!! HUGS FOR READER, HUGS AND KISSES FOR ONE MILLION YEARS!!! 🥹🥰

Alex I’m gonna sneak into your house and leave hundreds of tiny little love notes in your slippers ❤️💙 I’m literally tearing up! I can’t believe that my fic is one of the best you’ve read, and it makes my heart so happy to hear that you love it so much!! The past year has been really hard to find time for writing and fandom with everything else I have going on irl, and your ask was just the kind of pick me up I needed!! It may or not may not be giving me motivation to make time and finally finish the couple WIPS that are sitting in my hard drive rn hehe 😉

Seriously, thank you so much for such a lovely ask!!! I’m sending you bunches of hugs and all my love and appreciation!! ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

And to any others out there with the same question: I’m totally more than okay with people printing and binding my current and future works for personal use, as long as it’s not done for profit. And if you wanna send me pics of the process and/or the finished product, I def won’t say no 👀👀👀😉

[earl-grey-teacake]

omg hello! your brain is truly so big for this idea… george coaching logan lives rent free in my mind at all times and their minimal interactions bring me life fr 🥺🥺 now.. very important question.. WHO adopted logan first? alex as his current teammate or george as his long-time mentor? i also have this insane image in my mind of george making a powerpoint titled “7 step plan on how to win oscar’s heart / why he’s definitely in love with you don’t be stupid / we need to talk about your (lack) or self esteem” . yea there are three topics but alex has sighed deeply and provided snacks to keep them going. and also the idea of carlando adopting oscar?? it’s a very strange dynamic bc lando is so excitable he’s def not a parent figure and oscar and carlos are still squinting suspiciously at each others for sure. maybe the three of them are using their combined 8 brain cells to come up with a game plan for wooing logan? and they’re just sitting their arguing over flower symbolism and lando and carlos genuinely almost break up over how worked up they both get. i know this ask got out of control but bestie.. your mind is so large and i am obsessedddd w this idea

Hello! Thank you so much! Very happy to hear that the ideas my brain makes up in the middle of the night are appreciated!🥰

To answer your question, Alex adopted Logan first. I see George keeping his distance, close but still professional. Alex, as both an eldest sibling and having gone through 2021, is very sympathetic to Logan. He sees the spiraling, he understands being alone as your parents are dealing with their own issues, and he knows what it feels like to be left behind while the friends you joined F1 with go on ahead. When Logan stops answering his texts and James brings up his worries, Alex is at Logan’s door telling him to pack up and come over to his place. George starts off in a “I’m here to help but mainly because Alex wants to do this and I love Alex” and quickly becomes “i am onboard with helping you, here is a list of therapists I have complied, please pick one.”

George is absolutely making PowerPoints. It starts off with “No one on the grid or your team hates you + with proof from the group chat” to “Your lack of self-esteem is alarming and we are all a bit worried” before becoming “Oscar is in love with you + photographic evidence.” George’s love language is PowerPoints. When he was getting Alex that Williams seat, I imagined him cornering people with a laptop in hand and a PowerPoint titled “Alex Albon’s Achievements: Why he is a perfect fit for Williams”. Alex is ordering take out and providing commentary on the slides, and questioning where certain photos came from.

I see Carlando adopting Oscar not in a parental way, but more in a “I have more life experience so let me tell you why ghosting your friend and crush is a bad idea”. They absolutely brainstorm ways to woo Logan but they keep failing because Logan thinks Oscar is doing this to apologize for not talking to him for a month/forgetting his birthday and Oscar is slowly going insane because nothing works and in every interaction Logan looks sadder and sadder. Carlos and Lando are definitely getting worked up because it was never this hard when they got together .

Your idea with the flower language is genius, can I write that in the fic? I am thinking of a scene like

“No, Lando we cannot put yellow roses in the arrangement. They mean decrease of love, that’s an awful flower to include.”

“How about orange lilies? There aren’t exactly a ton of papaya or orange flowers to choose from.”

“No! Orange lilies mean hatred. We should be starting simple like pink roses and baby breaths.”

“Those options are basic. They don’t have personality to them. It looks like Oscar just went to a supermarket and picked it up. How is anyone supposed to feel special receiving a standard supermarket bouquet?”

“I wouldn’t know Lando. You never got me flowers before so I don’t know how I would feel receiving a supermarket bouquet?”

This ask was super fun to answer! Thank you so much for sending it❤️ I am also obsessed with it and am drafting outlines to write it. Please feel free to send more asks. I really love answering them.

[il-predestinato]

Hi! Can we have some context (and a lil' snippet of course 😉) of the evolutionary theory of attraction? Thank you ❤️

Oh yes, absolutely! It's inspired by this sequence from the Imperfects, a Netflix show where one of the characters' superpower is emitting very powerful pheromones. So everyone in her vicinity develops an unstoppable attraction/obsession with her. Specifically, I was inspired by the scene where she sprays a bottle of air freshener at her pursuers to break the pheromone smell and run away. 🤣 Well, I was thinking - our little Monegasque croissant already has VERY. DEVOTED. OBSESSIVE. FANS. What if we just turned that up a notch?

(Also to everyone else, I see your requests in my inbox! Have to bolt after this one but I will get back to you! 🥰)

title: the evolutionary theory of attraction (aka. Charles Leclerc and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Race Weekend)

summary: Of course, it would be typical Charles Leclerc luck that his body would pick the 2022 Monza race weekend to start uncontrollably emitting pheromones. And of course the only person immune to his scent is his very secret crush rival Max Verstappen.

Later, upon reflection - after he prevented a near apocalyptic event on planet Earth, and that was hardly a hyperbole - he would say that it all went to shit in the media pen after free practice. The week had started brightly enough, and Charles at the very least thought he could hold onto some measure of hope until Sunday - as history would suggest for this calendar year, but it seemed like his race weekend took its usual plunge much earlier.

To his best recollection, it started with an innocuous moment with Max Verstappen (typical, as far as unforeseen important events in his life went). Not that Charles willed it or anything, but the contact was initiated by the Dutchman, who brushed an arm against his in the “zoo.” (A term for the media pen that Alex coined affectionately in the drivers’ WhatsApp group, comparing them to animals to be gawked at, poked, and prodded for commercial gain. Albeit, very privileged and pampered animals, as Guanyu pointed out.)

An accidental touch, of course. Out of politeness alone (Max later insisted, while Charles rolled his eyes), the Red Bull driver paused beside him, which was not usual, and Charles waited patiently to receive his usual smile and greeting, but Max didn’t do either. Instead, he scrunched his nose - still slightly sunburned from the summer break - and sniffed twice at the air around Charles, which was unquestionably unusual.

Frowning and suddenly self-conscious, Charles looked down at his slightly sweaty team polo and gave a tentative sniff of his own. Sure, he was a little sweaty, but he didn’t notice any scent other than his usual anti-perspirant.

Max blinked once, twice, and then broke out in a wide smile. The one that scrunched the corners of both of his eyes, which was not something that Charles would ever admit to noticing, but nevertheless had the resulting effect of Charles forgetting whatever thoughts had preceded that moment.

“New body spray?” teased Max. “It’s not bad.”

Charles shook his head. “Flirt,” he muttered under his breath, after making sure the nearest microphone was well out of pick up range, earning both a soft chuckle and even deeper eye crinkles from his rival. If his heart thumped a little loudly, well - he would deny it with his dying breath.

Before either of them could get another word in, Max was promptly whisked away by his press officer to attend his next interview.

Ignoring his poorly disguised disappointment, his own press officer, Mia, beckoned him from a few metres away, directing him towards Ted Kravitz from SkySports. “Last one.”

Plastering a smile to his face, Charles made his way obediently towards Ted, who started off predictably with a question about Ferrari’s recent troubles. He was about halfway through his rehearsed answer about the team working hard to fix their setup issues when it happened again.

Ted, eyes almost half glazed over with a bead of sweat forming on his hairline, turned his head back and forth and… sniffed the air.

Charles was now really starting to feel self-conscious. Faltering mid-sentence, he glanced towards Mia, wondering if she should maybe call for medical assistance for poor Ted, or at the very least give Charles an excuse to leave and take a shower. But she too scrunched her nose and stared at Charles with a half-blank expression.

Ted broke the silence first. “You smell amazing!” exclaimed the reporter.

“Uh, thanks -” he stuttered, bewildered, but Ted cut him off swiftly.

“Charles, how does it feel to be the most handsome driver in the whole paddock?” Without waiting for a response, Ted leaned in - close enough that Charles could smell the other man’s… shampoo? Hair spray? He really didn’t want to know. It took every bit of his media training to not recoil dramatically at the sudden invasion of his personal space. But the SkySports reporter was undaunted, and added, “We must get a drink together after this.”

Deciding that he no longer cared if Head of Communications Silvia Hoffer Frangipane (Mattia may be the Team Principal but Sivia is - well, the boss) showed up in the zoo herself and strangled him then and there, Charles took two stumbling steps backwards and tried to unlock his half-open jaw. Then he tried pinching his arm to wake up from this bizarre nightmare. All that accomplished was a sore arm and a wave of disappointment at the realization that he was very much awake.

Fortunately, Mia intervened. “That’s an inappropriate question -” But Charles’s relief was short-lived. “What you should be asking Charles is how it feels to be the most handsome man in the whole world.”

Charles gaped at her. Either Andrea put hallucinogens instead of vitamins into his breakfast juice, or Twitter was correct and this season has caused him to lose his last shred of sanity.

“Of course,” snapped Ted, clearly annoyed by her interjection. “Charles, I will tell you how handsome you are over dinner. And then we can go back to my hotel room.”

“Over my dead body!” screeched Mia, lunging at the reporter. “I work with Charles. I love him! I have always been in love with him.”

Charles laughed - a hollow, humourless, desperate sound - as he started backing away in earnest.

Noticing his sudden movement, Mia and Ted advanced in his direction, still clawing at each other, and he was suddenly reminded of a scene from a zombie film he dearly regretted watching. Half of the people in the media pen, drivers and reporters alike, had paused their own interviews to stare at him.

Before he could lose his nerve, Charles decided to make a run for it. Ferrari can afford paying the fine.

Predictably, with his lack of luck this season, he managed to barrel straight into Max in his haste, almost knocking both of them to the ground.

“Charles?” He sounded concerned, not grumpy, despite Charles’s best attempt at bowling. “What’s wrong?”

Charles could hear his own rapid breathing and was all too aware of how close Max’s face was to his own. The blue eyes that stared back at him were confused but not unfocused, and the warm hand on Charles’s arm made his skin tingle.

“There’s something going on -” he started, but a new unwelcome touch on his cheek caused him to flinch.

Max’s press officer was no longer next to her charge, but pressed against Charles. “Oh my darling,” she tittered at Charles. “Are you hurt?” She nuzzled - actually nuzzled - his cheek, and Charles nearly swallowed a strand of her hair. “Show me where,” she cooed, unperturbed. “I’ll kiss it better.”

“Okay, what the fuck -” cursed the Red Bull driver, eyes wide in disbelief.

Wrenching his arm out of Max’s grasp, Charles bolted.
