[ace-race-ace]

Putting some of my wips out there to hopefully get more motivation to actually write them ~~

CHESTAPPEN - Youngest you’ll ever be

Magical realism - (flipped) age gap

Checo suddenly wakes up looking 10-15 years younger than the night before. Confused and disoriented he thinks for a moment he’d dreamt the last few years of his career. However he ends up running into Max and he realizes he just somehow got younger. Max immediately suspects some kind of curse so they go see a witch doctor for help. She reveals it isn’t a curse at all but a strange manifestation that only could have occurred from strong emotions.

All the while, Max is struggling with how cute he finds his teammate looking like this. Checo on the other hand is freaking out because he has a suspicion of why he’s manifested this…his long hidden feelings towards his (younger) teammate.

STROLLONSO- Home Hero

Partially already written

Pretty straightforward, Lance wins in Canada, Fernando wins in Spain, and they win Silverstone for the team (don’t know which of them yet) They get closer along the way ~~~

STROLLONSO - Cattitude (name may change)

Shapeshifting - very soft and sweet

Fernando goes to comfort Lance after a difficult race but when he gets to his driver’s room, all he finds is a black cat curled up on the couch. Confused, he tries to approach it but the cat is extremely wary, hissing and pawing at him. Fernando doesn’t back down and eventually is able to pet the cat. He coos sweet phrases to it until the cat curls into his side. Eventually he decides to try and find Lance. Once he does, he excitedly brings the younger driver to his room to meet the cat but it’s vanished. This happens a few more times, every time Lance is missing, the cat is there. When Lance returns, the cat is gone. Strange.

EDIT: NOW OFFICIALLY A FIC!!! ⬆️

SEB/MARK/FERNANDO - Pick and choose

ANGST, ANGST AND MORE ANGST.

Fernando has been flirting with Mark for a long time. The Aussie indulges him to a certain degree but doesn’t want to go too far with a coworker. Until Seb becomes his teammate and all of a sudden it doesn’t seem such a bad idea. Fernando gets jealous. Mark ends up getting caught in the middle of a petty, sassy competition between the two younger men for his attention. It’s just so hard to choose…so why not both?

LESTAPPEN - Scarlet

Ferrari!Max - friends to enemies to lovers - loosely tied to my Legacy AU

Red Bull gets banned for two years for breaking regulations. Max ends up skipping the 2025 season (maybe also 2026, haven’t decided yet) because of some lucrative contract clause with Red Bull. With the main competition gone, Ferrari steps up and Charles wins the Championship. Lewis on the other hand underperforms and shockingly gets kicked out. Charles has no idea who his teammate will be next season. Until Fred invites him to meet his new teammate, Max, who is finally returning to F1. They start off on pretty good terms, but at the season ramps up and becomes more competitive, they start to become rivals once again. Rivals who also happen to really want to fuck each other

And ofc my Strollonso Legacy AU I should actually work on…

Feel free to ask about any of these, it would help motivate me 🥲

no but like.. you're onto something with lestappen rbr 2024/2025. listen this is like.. my most delulu hypothesis but these last few direct and indirect interactions and them being SO WEIRD (good weird) abt each other lately, idk why but i have the feeling that charles may have or may have not had started talks with other teams, rbr included. idk where i saw it i'm not even sure it's 100% true but reportedly in a more recent interview max kinda changed his tune and said that he's no longer opposed to the idea of having charles as a teammate and that while there could be tension, they would not be a brocedes 2.0. again, this is super delusional from me and i try not to think about it that much but like.. i can't help but think that 1) they're gotten closer than they let on publicly and 2) it's bc there's something cooking in rbr for charles (but yes you do have a big point that the biggest issue would be charles' undying love for ferrari).

anon sent this in before the lestappen rbr 2024 news but im skipping a few to answer this now because i think that they are 100% correct. if talks with rbr and charles started in may then max and charles have been aware that they could be potential teammates for a good few months now. i also think that’s why max has been so harsh on the ferrari strats and cars lately he’s really trying to convince charles to take the damn seat

im convinced that red bull’s first choice to fill the seat is charles, it’s up to charles (and max to convince him) to see that he won’t win a WDC with ferrari in its current state and max deserves a proper rival in F1

lestappen rbr 2024 would be the most exciting thing to happen to the sport in a few years and i’m manifesting so hard that charles signs that contract
