#lestappen plot

[adutchlover]

“name a game to play” is close to reaching my personal goal of getting 300 kudos on ao3 for the first time and that just makes me emotional and chaotic and excited for the next part😭🤯

[thearchercore]

love the timeline implication of charles being at a different event/party with pierre and then ending up at max's party like we all talk about lestappen but the real thing is has anyone seen pierre

[laura1633]

When Charles is sentenced to complete community service the last person he wants to be doing it alongside is his long term rival Max. Unfortunately that is exactly what happens in this hilarious new rom com.

"Sentenced to love" is the latest release from the studio that brought you such classics as "the inchident" and "Unfollowed: an instagram love story".

I know I’m beyond saving when I saw this picture and all I could think about is the potential subliminal message behind it

[lestappentrain]

I've Been Watching You For Ages, And I Spend My Time Tryin' Not To Feel It

The 2024 F1 season is over and Charles is ready to take a break from all of it, but before he can do that he gets one brief break before the FIA Gala.

His chosen place to be at? Wherever Max is at the moment.

Or;

5 Times Charles thinks about how his relationship with Max has changed from other people POV and one time he knows it will never change for them.

plot idea for fanfics carcar/lestappen:

A "straight" guy has been dating a woman for some time, but the relationship isn't working for him and he doesn't know how to end it because he doesn't want to lose her (he really likes her as a person), so he arranges to meet her at a restaurant to talk about it, but he ends up getting into a very strange situation with another client, his girlfriend sees it and completely misunderstands the situation and is like:

"OH MY GOD. YOU'RE GAY!"

And when he realizes that she wasn't hurt, just sad that he's "living in the closet", he decides to invent this fic that he's really gay. But what he didn't expect was that she would end up telling everyone and he couldn't deny the story (not even his family).

She does everything she can to make him "happy" and "experience" finally living freely, and starts setting him up on dates.

Desperate about having to go to dinners with men he's not interested in, he says he's already met someone special who lives in another country (he's moving there).

He actually moves for work and there he meets a really cool girl and they become good friends, the only problem is that she has a brother/best friend who can't stand the protagonist and they don't get along, but a year later, he receives an invitation to the wedding of his ex who invites him and his "boyfriend" to her wedding as best men.

Desperate, he begs his friend's brother/best friend to go with him to the wedding as his "boyfriend".

So you already know: Fake relationship; a bed; enemies to lovers; forced approach...

Maybe I'll grow out of it

Lestappen | 14,3k | College AU | on going

Charles has spent his entire childhood trying to prove he isn't anything like Max. Maybe building a car with him will make him realize he's been wrong all along.

“I always thought you hated me,” Max says.

Charles doesn’t answer right away. The words have caught him off guard. “I thought you didn’t care what people thought of you,” he says eventually, his voice measured.

“I don’t,” Max replies, too fast, too defensive. Then he hesitates. “But you—” His fingers twitch at his sides. He stops himself, irritated.

Charles turns to him fully now, brow furrowed. “But I what?”

Max clenches his jaw. He doesn’t want to say it. He doesn’t want to admit it—but you knew me. You understood me better than anyone else. And you still couldn't like me.

So instead, he shrugs. “Doesn’t matter.”

I've literally not seen a second of f1 ever in my life, but I'm 100% confident those guys (charles leclerc and max verstappen) are the definition of Gay Or European

[il-predestinato]

He never fails to remind us that 1) they go way back and 2) Max deserves everything. 🥰

[omegalerc]

his waist is sooooo tiny that it’s practically nonexistent in this pic… the lercbackshots must go insane

Post the fic summary for a fic you haven't written/published yet. It can be hypothetical or something you really plan on releasing...

This is a snippet from a plot where Charles is a salesman at a Ferrari dealership and Max wants to buy a new car 👀

“You’re the first one I’m showing her.”

This time, he speaks as if introducing a bride to her mother and brothers, and his voice carries a hint of reverence that he doesn’t bother to hide. It’s fascination, the name.

“She’s not mine, but I confess I might be a little jealous of this one.” The sentence is accompanied by a smile that forms a dimple on the left, and before he can hold back, he adds, “I think only someone special deserves to drive her.”

Max Verstappen turns his face toward him, his eyes gleaming with something that Charles can’t quite identify, just like the tone from earlier. The blonde doesn’t respond immediately; instead, he runs his hand across the steering wheel again, his fingers securing themselves on the paddle shifter in shades of gray. The blonde secures the control in place with such ease that it makes Charles feel warm, and teases in a low voice, “Maybe I’m that person?”

Charles feels his face heat up but decides to play along. “There’s only one way to find out,” he says, moving like a clever cat and adjusting his seatbelt before casting an expectant look toward Max Verstappen.

The blonde calmly adjusts his seatbelt, licking his lips before reaching for the ignition button on the steering wheel. The engine roars to life, filling the space with a powerful sound that echoes around them, and both of them smile. Max Verstappen, for the first time, does so more openly as he hears the sound of the V12, revealing the beautiful crescents forming in his eyes — a detail that Charles, inexplicably, wishes to reach. Charles smiles too, not just for the engine’s sound, but for the awareness of the moment, feeling capable, if only for an instant, of forgetting everything except the man beside him.

Each message left unanswered, left unopened. Max couldn’t bring himself to respond. He knew what Daniel wanted - to talk, to check in, to fix things. But there was nothing to fix. Not really. There was just the empty feeling that lingered in his chest, a feeling he couldn’t explain or push away. He knew Daniel would keep trying, but Max wasn’t ready to talk to anyone - not about the last races, not about Zandvoort, not about Charles, not about anything. His phone buzzed again, but he simply ignored it, keeping his eyes on the track. He turned into another corner, but his mind wasn’t on the simulation ahead of him, not really. “Shit!” Max cursed as his car veered off the track, the screech of tires and the flash of “crash” on the screen pulling him back to reality. He yanked off his headset in frustration and threw it onto the desk, the thud it made as it hid the hardwood tabletop. The silence that followed was deafening, a stark contrast to the sounds of his race that had filled his ears moments before. He stared at the now blank screen in front of him, his thoughts a jumbled mess. He needed to stop thinking about it. About Charles.

About how everything had gone wrong.
