#the urge to write lestappen

[maxtermind]

oh OH oh.

[maxcuntstappen]

wanted to post some comfort lestappen after yesterday and generally to kind of cleanse the energy of the tumblr dash over the last couple of days.

enjoy <3

__

“Baby,” Max says, “Come on.”

It doesn’t change anything. Charles stays lying on his front, his face buried in his pillow.

He looks so small like this. So tiny. It makes Max want to protect him, to kiss his forehead and hold him close and keep him there for as long as they live.

“Charlie,” Max whispers, fingers reaching out to comb through Charles’ soft, brown locks, “Talk to me please.” 

Charles replies, but the words reach Max all garbled, the sound swallowed up by the intruding pillow.

But still. It’s progress.

Max lies down on his side next to Charles, throwing an arm over his waist. He kisses Charles’ cheek. Once, twice. Three more times.

And finally, like the sun breaking through grey clouds, Charles’ head turns towards him. Just a little bit. Only a single beautiful green eye looking at Max. 

“Hi,” Max smiles, his hand caressing Charles’ cheek, “It’s nice to see your lovely face.”

And despite everything, Charles smiles. It makes Max feel like he’s won a goddamn trophy. 

“Do we not want to talk about what’s wrong?” 

Charles shakes his head.

Max hums.

It’s not ideal. Charles is the kind of person who always feels better once he talks his emotions out. But if he doesn’t want to, Max will not force him. 

“Is there something else we can do, that I can do which would help?”

Charles’ bottom lip sticks out, a cute little pout that makes Max’s chest ache.

“I don’t know,” Charles whispers, his voice rough and heavy, “I don’t know what to do, what will help.”

Max nods, running through his mental directory of things and activities that he knows Charles enjoys.

“I think,” Charles begins, biting his lip.

“Yes?” Max urges, running his fingers down the length of Charles’ spine, smiling gently at the shiver that follows.

“I think I just want to be sad for a bit,” Charles says, his eyes so careful, so observant, undoubtedly evaluating all of Max’s expressions, “I just want to be sad and watch some tv and that’s all.” 

Max doesn’t know what to think. Or say. 

It’s not something Charles has done before, as far as Max is aware of. Charles either talks about it or works out about it or writes some music about it. He’s never just… been with it. That’s more of Max’s thing.

“Is that okay?” Charles asks cautiously.

“Of course it’s okay, schatje,” Max says, moving closer to kiss Charles’ nose, “Of course.” 

The corners of Charles’ mouth turn up a little, making the corners of Max’s mouth turn up a whole lot. 

“Do you want to be alone? I could give you some space, go sim race for a while or play with the cats.”

Charles frowns, shaking his head, “No. Stay.” 

“Okay,” Max smiles, “Do you have something particular you want to watch?” 

“No, not really. I just don’t want to think.”

“Okay,” Max nods, “Okay. Come on then, come here”

Max sits up, leaning against the headboard, holding his arms open.

Charles is quick to move, settling into Max’s side, breathing a sigh of relief.

“I’m going to pick the third movie that’s on our watchlist, okay?” Max asks, feeling Charles nod against him, his hair tickling the inside of Max’s arm.

Max doesn’t think he’s even heard of the movie. It’s animated and about a goose and a fish and why the hell is this on their watchlist.

Doesn’t matter. He picks it anyway.

It’s quiet as they watch the film. Something Max is not used to. 

Charles is a chronic talker. Even during movies. Seriously. The man has an opinion about each scene and he will make it known. 

He is really fucking lucky that Max doesn’t care much about films and would rather be listening to Charles’ voice anyways.

Yeah, it’s odd, feeling Charles next to him, matching his own breathing to his and not knowing any of the things going on in his head.

But it’s okay. It’s what Charles needs. And that’s all that matters.

Charles snorts suddenly, scaring the shit out of Max, “I don’t get it. How can a goose and a fish be friends? Like how can a goose hear what the fish is saying underwater?”

Max has to force down a cackle to be able to reply. It makes his voice sound all strange and high-pitched.

“That’s the part you decide to question and not the fact that they of course can talk?”

Charles rolls his eyes, giving Max’s arm a hard smack, “You know what I mean, you asshole.”

Max doesn’t. He really, really doesn’t. 

But Charles has already moved onto sharing his next thought and he sounds lighter and he’s moving his hands around as he talks and so when he asks Max if he thinks it’s stupid that the main character goose has a ‘cooler haircut’ than the other geese, all Max does is nod and say, “So fucking stupid, schatje. It’s so stupid.”

*did I get sidetracked/distracted again and started yet another fic that I daydreamed about in a sleep deprived haze ? YEP! I sure did . do I regret it now ? Heck no! . will I regret it later for indulging my mind by writing it instead of focusing on my already full WIP list? Absolutely! . So enjoy🍷!

Charles leaned his back against her side tilting his head on her chest , his hair is tussled and his frown gone as he closed his eyes in content, her arm draped over his shoulder from the back , as her hand rested over his heart with one of his holding onto it as he slept .

Their joined hands raising and falling with every breath he took and his posture calm a relaxed, A major contrast from his usually tense and guarded self . Her other hand rested on Max's hand that he let her hold , tracing over his scared hand as she followed the lines and raised tissue on the back of it , his head resting on her shoulder with hers leaning over his .

All three basking in the cool wind as it breathed around them the place is a small piece of heaven with overgrown trees and wild flowers scattering around and disappearing beyond the treelines , tucked away from the main court where the main families meet to for business .

They Found it years ago and run to whenever they got the chance , taking a fresh breath of air was a rare occurrence as their families increased their responsibilities with every passing day , yet they cherished these fleeting moments even if short and spent in silence, still very precious to them .

She closed her eyes , enjoying the stolen moment of peace , Max's voice cuts through the peaceful haze " Mijn liefje , you have to wake up " . She frowned at his words, but kept her eyes closed " but I want to stay here , with you " she felt him hold her hand gently , lifting it up to place a delicate kiss on the back of it , leaving behind a a tingling sensation that turned into a scorching pain causing her to wince , he whispered in a far away voice " but you know that this isn't real " , she tried to argue back but her words got caught in her throat . And as she strained her hearing she couldn't hear the sound of bustling leaves above them anymore as it fades into a steady ticking bounced around her head before it stopped with the loud ringing of the church bell from the other side of the block . Snapping her awake from the beautifully haunting daydreams that kept plaguing her days .

Moving away from the wall she was leaning on , fighting the urge to scratch at the back of her tightly wrapped hand as she crouched down , readjusting her coms before leaning down into position , sight set on the moving cars as she counted three moving ahead towards the gates, another one barked not far from the front entrance across the street, and another going around for the past hour or so appearing irregularly without a specific timing but not close enough to draw attention, a surveillance team of sorts.

Clicking her coms on as she followed the van one block before it turned a corner and out of sight " Marv , surveillance is heading your way 10 seconds east " the line clicked and the voice answered back " copy that " . Another line connected as she fixed her aim at the last car as it stopped before the gate but no one got out " Jinx here, the back is cleared, no setbacks here , sirens are in position and ready to go " she acknowledged with a "copy that " , swiftly shooting the tires of the the target's car as a precaution , forcing them to get him out eventually to ensure his safety.

Counting her side tasks for the day , the first car had at least three armed guards the , second had 4 armed who posed as a diversion to cover the third which had two armed guards one personal bodyguard along with the target .

She took down the first two guards injuring the third as they stepped out, another one from the second car and three more as they tried to shoot back at her place in the rooftop. Leaving the best for last when two more guards emerged from the said car . She ducked as the last guard aimed at her head , missing twice before he ran out of ammo. She took him out with one shot , Leaving the target with no protection for now .

The silence was defining as she head down the stairs , gun loaded and ready . she called through her Comms " we're on the move, start phase 2, sirens , lock and move " , they answered in confirmation starting their own tasks at hand .

While she approached the car slowly , she found the target first , unarmed and trembling as he babbled on trying to bargain himself out " I'll give you whatever you want, how much ?! 5 million , 9 I'll give you 12 please! Whatever you want!!" As he kept frantically pleading his guard sneaked up on her , trying to grab her by the neck , but was met with a kick and a bullet to the leg caughting him off guard, he stumbled back but grabbed a hold of her ankle dragging her down with him , she rolled away aiming for his head but he took cover with the car door , the target was screaming as bullets kept shooting towards him with one barley taking his ear as he ducked , she groaned as she threw her now empty gun , taking out another one but the bastard kicked it out of her hand , she took a deep breath " you asked for it " she charged at him ducking last second swiping his feet , making him fall face first before pinning him down with both arms pulled behind his back with her knee centered between his shoulders blades , putting pressure down while pulling hard enough until two loud pops were heard , the guard screamed along with the target who held his arms in fear , watching in horror as she now held her fallen gun to the back of the guard's head shooting once before she stood up turning to him .

He tried to scoot back shaking the door beside him in attempt to flee his death , she got in slowly , sitting beside him in a bored manner shutting the door behind her with a swift move, he stilled as she finally looked at him with sharp eyes , feeling cold chills running through his bones he attempted to plead again " I'll give everything you want! Please spare me!" She shook her head as she leaned back into the seat , keeping him cornered as she spoke in a cold voice " you seem to forget our values Mr Matthew , we don't spare traitors , nor do we bargain with death" he shouted at her cursing as he couldn't escape his fate " you're a wretched girl you'll rott in hell! Where you belong !!!!" She gave him a sinister smile as she leaned in close to whisper in his ear " then tell the devil I'm coming for his throne while you're down there" wiping the grin off her face as she shot a final bullet before she got out , closing the door swiftly behind her as she walked away and down the street , clicking her coms back on she updated " target is terminated , Marv status?" stopping by a white van , getting in as she got a response " all clear here , heading out " she looked at the flowing data on the screens before her " copy that " turning to the driver she signalled for him to drive before she reconnect one last time " sirens , your status?" An answer sounds out immediately " targets secured, no casualties, heading out now " satisfied with the results she call out " regrouping in 10 " everyone called back " copy" before she turned off her earpiece, letting the monitor on as they drove back in silence , she filtered through the files in search for what they needed , humming quitely before she stilled with wide eyes in astonishment as she finally came across what she was looking for , smiling devilishly at the screen " Oh , it seems like you've dug yourself a deep hole Mr Ralph , and I'll make sure to bury you in it " .

thoughts on going through the entirety of i did something bad and writing c.horner out of it? or maybe i could just start it again from scratch? it would still have the same plot but c.horner wouldn’t be included in it all. obviously i’d have to add in a new TP for the team but that wouldn’t much of an issue, i’ve already done it for a different fanfic. i just don’t want to leave the story where it’s at, i'm just leaving all of you hanging waiting for the next update. also feeling the urge of making it a lestappen x female oc fanfic, i feel like the plot points for it were all there, so it would just make sense to make it happen.

hi i am back with a snippet from the lestappen fake dating au i'm writing :D "but ellie" i hear you say, "have you not written an entire lestappen fake dating fic before?????" yes. yes i have. and now i'm writing another one. you can't stop me. anyway this time they're both drivers so it's different

Max and Charles had spoken very briefly over text, right after the photos had swept the internet. Mostly just ‘haha this is stupid’ and ‘can you believe this happened’ and agreeing they wouldn’t make a big deal about it, just deny it when someone inevitably asked about it on Thursday.

The problem is, they ask Max first.

“What is wrong with you,” Charles declares, slamming open the door to Max’s drivers room. No one had batted an eye has he had stormed into the Red Bull Motorhome. One employee had even helpfully pointed him in the right direction. Charles doesn’t want to think too deeply about what it means. About how they have all seen, about how they all think-

“What is wrong with you?” Max asks, looking grumpily up at Charles from where he was scrolling through his phone sprawled across the couch in the corner of the room. “Why the fuck are you here?”

“Because you,” Charles says, pointing an accusing finger at Max, “Just declared to the entire world, that we are dating.”

Max frowns at him. “No I didn’t. I did what we agreed on. I told them to fuck off.”

Charles lets out a strangled noise. “You told them-“ He pulls his phone out of his pocket almost frantically. “Here, this is what you said actually, and I quote; “So what if we are? I don’t see what the big deal is with all of this. People take anything they see and immediately twist it into something else. What’s between me and Charles is between me and Charles, and we would really like it if people could leave us alone.” Charles looks pointedly at him.

Max blinks back. “I really don’t see the problem here. It’s a good statement.”

“A good-“ Charles suppresses the urge to throw his phone at Max’s head. “We? Us? You’re making us sound like, like-“ he waves his hand around. “Like a couple. Like we are in this together!”

“We are in this together!” Max exclaims. “You were the one who said we should wait until Thursday and make a joined statement! That’s what I did.”

there are two wolves within me: one urging me to write lestappen fanfic & one reminding me of the promise I made to myself 4 years ago

[cx-boxbox]

☉ SHARK TANK: max f/lando or max f/oscar

hello sharks 🧍‍♂️*checks notes* *notes are just "ahhhhhhh"'s and keyboard smashes and explicitives*

i just love max's relationship with lando like the childhood best friends to lovers and max's pining and landos obliviousness. there are two like quotes or whatever that i relate to their relationship; the one is that tiktok trend where it shows the two guys and the one has text over him saying i wish you were a girl (the more i think about this the more im convinced im making it up but you get the gist) (the guy with the text would be lando in this scenario). and the second is max "gay but doesn't know he's in love with his best friend" fewtrell and lando "in love with his best friend but doesn't know he's gay" norris.

but then also max and oscar's relationship esp if it's like "we both hate to love lando cause he doesn't love us". either that or "we're sick of landos bullshit let's fuck about it" like in the feel it start to permeate series by peachbellini.

(alternatively we could have "oscar i cannot do this alone pls help me" like in plus one by limabima. (or something else with the three of them idk idk))

but a prompt if you wanted one; lando, max and oscar are drunk, oscar and lando are like "together but not together think they're being very discreet but they're not" and max gets annoyed cause he's jealous (of who? know one knows) and lando confronts him and hes all nonchalant and cool about it like yeah i wanna fuck you both but like a normal amount and only cause i'm drunk but then while fucking maybe he accidentally tells them how much he's wanted this with both of them for years??? idk basically they fuck nasty about it and it's all very fluffy

also question that you don't have to answer ofc but why haven't you written max f? is it as simple as you haven't felt the urge or inspiration? or do you just like landoscar and don't wanna mess with perfection?

this feels like my thesis statement i blacked out and when i came to, this was written

☉ SHARK TANK: make a case for why I should write a character, pairing, or trope that I haven’t yet!

Okay, WHAT a case. I feel like I'm back in middle school debate tournaments in the best way possible. Honestly, the only reason I haven't written them is because I'm terrible at branching out (see: my stab at lestappen).

But I love love love Lando/Max F because there's the whole childhood friends to lovers trope, the slight angst of Max dropping out of racing, and the fluff of him still being so supportive.

Also have you seen the clips of Lando falling asleep in Max's room?? Extremely important.

Anyway, I'm all for Lando being railed (and cuddled) by one or multiple people.

From this post.

[formula-fun]

my love. today I read your venom au finally (idk why I was putting it off, probs bc I wanted to enjoy as much of it as possible before I go into venom!max brain rot). RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FIC!!!!!!! DETHRONED YOUR OWN ABO FIC FROM MY LIST OF ALL TIME FAVESSSSSSSSS

in all seriousness tho, I loved it so much, max is so silly there:] he's just a big goopy lad who's obsessed with his human and I have to respect it (me too, mate, me too).

now my love, I have a question that burns me which I'm afraid I have to ask: how upset is max that he can't get his human pregnant? and does he make his indignation with charles' biology known? alternatively: mpreg? 🤲🏻? venom style mpreg? 🤲🏻🤲🏻? for me? 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻? lestappen with a lil goop baby that wrecks havoc and who lives in charles' pockets? 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻?

thank u for the fic mwah mwah kissing you loving you all that shabam

my LOVE! thank you sm i'm glad you liked it!! <3333 dethroning if i had words is CRAZY my evil little goo fic has come so far hashasahsah no i have so much fun writing them being silly and bullying each other in charles' brain, it's a good time!!

and im gonna write under the cut because i love this question, i have many many many thoughts. this is also gonna show how little regard i have for the source material unfortunately. but im having FUN

so i wrote a snippet a little while ago abt max's reproductive cycle because apparently this au wasnt weird enough, and basically long story short HE can get pregnant and has in the past, but symbiote babies are very vicious and hungry and their first act in life is usually either to eat their parent or be eaten. so max's parenting instincts are pretty nonexistent. they also reproduce asexually, so his mating instincts are similarly nonexistent. sort of. for a while

max is in love with everything about earth though. he loves that so many creatures instinctively care for the young of even other species, he loves that reproduction is a decision between two parties, he loves that humans devote so much of themselves to raising their young. he finds it all kind of sweet, but the weight of it didnt really click until charles found out max could have babies but was disappointed to learn they couldnt raise them and love them like humans do. its like he hadnt really considered that could even be possible for them, but once he learns there might be a way he goes all warm and soft and max is like ??

cause then max realizes all at once, like. he wants to make something with me. he wants to do the things that humans do when they raise their young, he wants to be with me forever and ever, he wants me because his oldest most ancient instinct thinks i would make a good mate and i would take good care of his babies. he wants to have sex because it feels good and he wants it to be me because he loves me, but maybe also he wants it to be me because he wants me to help him make something thats a little bit of both of us?? and welcome 2 earth alien blob max w a breeding kink

and i dont know, i would like to say they find a way around the problem eventually. maybe there's some way it works out? maybe it's some sort of nature vs nurture situation where max's babies end up being super chill because they were raised in a loving environment, or maybe symbiotes arent driven by a base urge to consume, it's just a product of their hive mind which has been silent since the civil war started. maybe any babies max has end up taking on a lot of charles' characteristics simply because charles was hosting him when they were created. it's possible they find a way around it and get a lil goo ball to call their own. maybe max almost does eat it until he feels how anguished charles is abt it, and then he looks down and registers that their baby is the same soft pink as charles' palms and eyelids and the tips of his ears, and all at once he just can't do it

but yeah definitely a lot of room here for exploration and discovery to say the least dfjskfjsdf

[brakeme]

the feminine urge to write lesbian lestappen is getting more overwhelming every night

[racingcore]

i have an overwhelming urge to write a dystopian Lestappen based on Lethal Company (the video game) like HELP 😭😭

[blueberry-obsessed]

Watching Challengers right now, and the urge to write a Lestappen tennis au is waaaaaaaay to high right now. So, any potential plot ideas are always welcome!

[w1ld-wr1t3r]

Ask me about my AUs!

I have quite a few AUs, all in various states of completion. I thought, what better way to force myself to work on them than by making a list and opening them up for questions?

You can ask pretty much anything about the characters, plot, lore, or anything else, though if something would reveal a major spoiler or twist that I don't want prematurely revealed, I will politely decline your question for the time being. If I don't actually have an answer yet, maybe your question will be what helps me fill in that blank! I may also be more motivated to work on a particular AU if more people are interested in it, so if there's one you really want to see me work on, please ask a question about it!

This list will be updated whenever I get a new AU idea that I seriously think I will get around to writing. If an AU has already been started and posted, it'll be linked to the AO3 series. If an AU is "complete," I will probably leave it in this list just in case you guys are still curious about the extended lore, or if I ever get the urge to add to it again.

Some of these ideas are a lot more fleshed out than others. Some might not be much more than vague ideas at the moment. Ones at the bottom of the list are more likely to be less fleshed-out. So if I haven't gotten to one you'd like to see yet, it's probably because it needs more time to bake.

Here's all of my current AUs:

The Adventures of Peanut the Paddock Pup (multi-fic series, Norrix)

Belle (2021 anime)/Alan Walker AU (multi-fic series (maybe))

Star Wars/F1 AU (multi-fic series, Norrix, other background ships)

Equestrian AU (F1 and DJs, various ships, multi-fic series; just a general AU w/ loosely connected stories)

Spider-Verse/F1 AU (multi-fic series, Norrix, maybe other ships)

Isola (2018 comic)/F1 AU (multi-fic series, Norrix)

Dune/F1 AU (single fic, Lestappen and Carlando)

Alpha (2018 movie)/F1 AU (single fic, Charles and Leo, Lestappen, background Norrix)

Transformers/F1 AU (specifically inspired by Transformers One (2024 movie); probably a single fic, probably Norrix; Idk guys I don't know the first thing about Transformers LOL)

The Creator (2023 movie)/F1 AU (single fic, Carlando, platonic Norrix)

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you so much for the tag, @lattesqueeze. 🥹

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 31! I used to have a lot more on my old account, but I deleted them all and the account ages ago.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 182,588 apparently. Jesus fuck, I did not realize it was that high.

3. Which fandoms do you write for? These days? Only F1 RPF, but I used to write for several others, including (but not limited to) Cut & Run, Men's Football RPF, McFly RPF, and Teen Wolf.

4. Which are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. Devils Roll The Dice (Angels Roll Their Eyes) - My first Lestappen fic, my baby, my pride and joy

2. 19 Times The Grid Saved Lestappen (And One Time They Didn't Need To) - My first collab fic with the lovely Ilse (@f1writingbyme) 💕

3. Something Unholy - Lestappen lap dance/dirty talk PWP

4. Speak Now (Or Forever Hold Your Peace) - A personal Lestappen favorite

5. No Time For Regret (No Time For Sleep) - Lestappen PWP set after the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix

5. Do you reply to your comments? Why or why not? Yes, I do! I've made it my mission to reply to every single comment I get on my work, because the fact that there are people out there who not only read my work, but they also take the time to leave a comment, is such a huge deal to me and it makes me so happy. The least I can do is make sure they all get a reply.

6. Which of your fics has the angstiest ending? Ooof, I guess The Last Straw? The ending itself isn't the angstiest part of the fic, but the entire thing is angsty as hell.

7. Which of your fics has the happiest ending? I'd say most of my fics have happy endings, but the happiest? Probably Devils Roll The Dice (Angels Roll Their Eyes), or the first sequel Like Snow At The Beach (Weird, But Fucking Beautiful).

8. Do you get hate on your fics? Haven't gotten any hate so far on my current AO3 account! I used to get a bit of hate on my fics when I used to write for another fandom (1D, despite not being a 1D fan myself, I only wrote requests from other people) years ago, though, because back then there was apparently a "right or wrong way" to write fics, and there were always people who thought you were doing it wrong.

9. Do you write smut? I do. Admittedly, it's my least favorite thing to write, but I do write it.

10. Do you write crossovers? I've never tried, and I've never had an urge to so far.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Only one! (That I know of.) It was the first 1D fic I wrote and somebody tried to pass it off as their own. Didn't work very well for them.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Not yet, but I was actually contacted by a lovely person who wants to translate some of my F1 fics, which is a huge honor. So it's coming!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic? Yes, I have! I co-wrote a fic with an old friend back in my McFly obsession days, and I've co-written two Lestappen fics with my darling @f1writingbyme.

19 Times The Grid Saved Lestappen (And One Time They Didn't Need To), and Ride The Bull (Giddy Up, Partner).

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship? All-time? I honestly don't know if I can pick because all of my favorite ships have been my all-time favorite ship at the time I was hyperfixating on them. But, if I have to make a choice, I'd say it's a tie between Lestappen and Junes (Harry Judd/Danny Jones from McFly).

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but probably never will? Oh, man, I don't have one because my brain will not let me start a WIP without finishing it. Once I start writing something, my OCD and anxiety kicks in, and I just have to finish it. And if I can't finish it, I delete the whole thing and never think of it again. Which is both a blessing and a curse.

16. What are your writing strengths? Angst and endings, I think.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Smut, without a doubt. Despite having written a fuckton of smut in my life, there is nothing that stresses me out more than when I get to the part in a fic where smut belongs. Reading back my own smut makes me cringe.

18. What are your thoughts on writing in other languages in fics? If it's done properly, I say go for it! I personally don't mind it at all and find it adds depth to a lot of work. Just make sure you use something other than Google Translate if you don't speak the language, and preferably check with someone who speaks the language, to make it as believeable to a native reader as possible.

19. What was the first fandom you ever wrote for? McFly. God, those were the days. I was a literal child back then.

20. What’s your favourite fic that you’ve written? Definitely Devils Roll The Dice (Angels Roll Their Eyes). Writing that fic altered my brain chemistry, and I can still remember how I felt writing the different chapters. And also 19 Times The Grid Saved Lestappen (And One Time They Didn't Need To), because that was just so fun from start to finish.

charles gets knocked up? 👀

hmmm well who knows 👀 Could be Charles, could be Max! I actually haven't decided, I just felt an overwhelming urge to write a Lestappen pregnancy.

Could you imagine a world where they both get pregnant at the same time 😂

Welcome back to part two of my commentary and GOD I LOVE THE WAY YOU WRITE OSCAR SO FUCKING MUCH I LOVE THEM I NEED THEM TO BE ENDGAME (I keep repeating myself, I’ll stop now, I’m very sorry, this is a GP fic I’ll stop getting distracted. But if you ever have the urge to talk about my favourite throuple let me know and we can talk)

HE BROUGHT A LIL BACKPACK I’M SO ENDEARED!!! What did he bring? Protein bars? Drinks? Homemade cookies from his wife?

“Yes, he says hello,” Max said, while Charles said, “Yes, he says you’re hot.” - Max desperately trying to be cool and unbothered while Charles is an absolute menace trying to rile everyone up might be the greatest thing I’ve ever witnessed on a Monday morning

Max getting hot and bothered about having Charles as his boyfriend is so on brand and I love it. At this point it’s basically a Charles-Kink, I don’t make the rules

GP is melting Max‘s brain and I love it so much!!

Max feeling comfortable enough to admit that he feels protected and even more that it’s something he usually doesn’t seek or gets to feel because he’s taking care of Charles (which he loves obviously but still) and all that because he’s with the people he trusts the most? It’s doing something to my feelings on this bright Monday morning ngl

“Use your words, please, Max.” - oh how the turns have tabled or sth like that. Charles is going to have a FIELD DAY with that bid

“He had never felt this uncool in his life.” - OH I LOVE IT I AM SO FUCKING ENDEARED WITH THIS VERSION OF MAX

….DID CHARLES JUST CALL GP SIR??? ANJAHAUAUAJWIEYSY!!!

Max getting possessive over Charles whenever someone other than Oscar is getting too comfortable (read: interacts) with Charles is making it REALLY DIFFICULT to not talk about Lestappen + Oscar endgame ngl…MOVING ON

…DID GP JUST CALL CHARLES DARLING???? How are they ever going to be normal again in public??? On a podium????

GP is way too good at doing what he’s doing and I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT!!

Max‘s praise kink being exposed and Max acting surprised LIKE WE DIDNT KNOW ALREADY

Ooooh he’s doing it on purpose isn’t he? Trying to push Max‘s buttons?!?!? He’s such a menace

If GP ever makes Max say thank you on the radio afterwards I am indeed going to die

Awwww Max trying to fight back and give commands, honey that’s cute but have you read the room?

„The similarities between his radio and bedroom voices would ruin Max’s life.“ - OH HELL YEAH

DID I JUST READ THE WORDS “PLEASE, DADDY” IN MY OFFICE WITH ME COLLEAGUE AT THE DESK RIGHT NEXT TO ME??? I am so going to hell (also yes, I did not wait 8 hours to finish reading, instead I’m ignoring my work mails to read a about GP training Max how to not behave like a caveman while Max discovers his praise kink. Gotta love Mondays)

GP CALLING MAX PRETTY BOY???? OH I AM SO FUCKING ENDEARED!!!! Also no baby, you’re pretty too!! Have you seen pictures of yourself?!?!? People should tell him more often how pretty he is :(

GP MENTIONING OSCAR LIKE THAT??? My heart can’t take it. Also I’m so fucking obsessed with the way GP is trying to piss Max off as much as possible to bully him into submission (the fact that he’s successful makes it even better)

“It was easy to distract Charles and Oscar whenever he got too lost in his head during a scene, but GP proved to be impossible to distract.” - Ooooooh I need Oscar and GP to have a conversation…

MAX AND GP BANTER LETS GO!!! Correct me if I’m wrong, but to me Max’s obsession with GPs dick is just a manifestation of his praise kink, he wants to see the visible confirmation that he’s doing a good job. Also I need to have a conversation with some people, because Max really needs to stop founding his confidence in the fact that he has an attractive boyfriend. He’s a catch too!!! Someone has to worship that man ASAP!

“Everything you got, please, Max,” - you did not!!!!!

Praising Charles for having Max and vice versa and both of them getting off because of it might be the most Lestappen thing I’ve ever read. They’re so gone for each other it’s pathetic (affectionate)

OH SHIT HES TOUCHING!!! I didn’t think you’d go there!!!! But GP touching and calling Max Maxy might have just killed me. I’m done, useless for the rest of the day, please try again in 2-3 business days, thankuverymuch

“Well, GP... did you learn anything?” YOU DID NOT?????

Summary: you are absolutely insane, I can’t believe you wrote this, I love it so much, I didn’t know I needed that in my life but here we are I guess. WELCOME BACK!! You’ve altered my brain chemistry with that one and I will never be able to watch a race in the same way.

Also Lestapri + GP podium when?

bestie please 😂😂😂

i was looking forward to pt2 of your reactions and you did not disappoint.

thank you so much for typing all this out 😭😭😭 it seriously made my day. you are so funny and i'm SO glad you enjoyed the fic!!!! I LOVE RUINING GP FOR EVERYBODYYYYYYY
