1.1k of alien max going ham in the ocean and daniel being so normal about it.

warning: one sided piss kink, kind of. (to catch up on the alien max au lore, go here)

daniel eventually leaves max to it in the water, after his fingers have gone beyond pruny. max, however, is undeterred and completely in his element. literally.

he goes under the waves for extended periods of time, eyes wide open and apparently protected by some sort of second eyelid that lets max see under water without issue. daniel’s only a little jealous. max goes diving for all sorts of stones, shards of glass, star fish and even a jellyfish that daniel is pretty sure is one, poisonous and two, fucking painful to the touch. max just holds the blob up above his head like a fucking hunting prize looking proud as anything.

making his way over to daniel, max says: "daniel, look, his tentacles are so long. these guys are fascinating, what are they?" 

"woah, calm down there buddy, they sting like a bitch. it's a jellyfish. you should watch out," daniel says, paddling his way backwards for safe distance.

"jellyfish?" max mutters to himself, combing his hand through the tentacles, looking lost in thought. 

yep. that was daniel's cue to skaddadle out of there, back to the shore. 

"see you on land, maxy," daniel says over his shoulder. 

his alien housemate is a bit of a psycho but so endearingly curious about everything that daniel can't help a wave of fondness from spreading in his chest.

back in their spot, daniel lets himself starfish on the towel, shimmying out of his shirt and shorts to leave them to dry in the sun.

he doses in the sun for a few minutes, eyes closed. eventually, he cracks his eyes open to peer into the waves to find max.

the man in question is just coming up from yet another dive before diving straight back down. snorting, daniel closes his eyes again.

he must have nodded off because the next time he opens his eyes, max is stalking the shorelines, bending down to pick up and inspect little rocks. daniel watches as he picks up one after the other, comparing each one to the next, discarding some and keeping others.

after a few more minutes, max seems satisfied and stalks his way over to where daniel is lying, sizzling in the afternoon sun with only his still slightly damp boxers on.

"daniel!" danyul, max says, stepping right up to him and dropping down into a cross legged sitting position next to him on the sand.

"hey, bud, you having fun?" daniel asks, voice still rough with sleep. 

"yes, it's very good. you have very varied wildlife in your seas. very nice creatures," max says, smiling. 

"nice, huh? what'd they say?" daniel asks.

"not much, but they're very friendly and peaceful. i do not know why you're so scared of the jellyfish. he's done nothing wrong, daniel," max says, pout forming around his mouth.

"mate, we get third degree burns from those fuckers and then we have to ask our friends to pee on us to make it better," daniel says.

"i would of course pee on you if you asked, daniel. don't be stupid," max says, matter of factly. after that, max turns his attention back to his pebbles, running his thumb over them almost reverently. as if that was not the most insane sentence max has uttered to date in daniel's presence.

okay, well fuck, daniel thinks. the mental image that conjures up is one he's been trying his hardest to avoid. daniel has been trying to be steadfast, to not think about max's bits. now all he can picture is max, standing over him, shorts down, peeing on daniel's thigh to ease the sting of a jellyfish. he wonders what max has got going on down there. he's pretty humanoid in all aspects, except his respiration and ears. 

does he have a dick, just like him? probably. max looks like a man by human standards. he's sporting pretty noticeable biceps, broad shoulders. his pecs stand out, especially now under the soaking wet t-shirt clinging to his frame. it highlights the way his waist tapers in beautifully as well. 

daniel wonders if it's big or small. wonders what he'd prefer. decides it doesn't matter to him much.

he's just endlessly curious, wants to peel back the layers, find out, explore. see what makes max tick. if it's similar or different to humans. wonders if he moans, if he'd stay quiet, if he'd try to swallow down the sound. would max come? would it taste different?

daniel feels his inner thigh tingle, the tell tale sign that his dick is about to do something stupid. daniel swallow, hard. 

daniel clears his throat and says "yeah, thanks."

max looks up then, smiles a tight lipped smile at daniel. 

"daniel," max starts, sounding hesitant. 

daniel hums in return, still willing his dick to calm the fuck down.

max raises one of the hands to the back of his neck, rubs the base of his skull, scratching his dripping wet hair at the back of his head. 

"do you- i mean. would you?" max starts, voice sounding rough. max is kneading the flesh on his upper thigh. daniel thinks he looks nervous. his ears and cheeks are pink, again. 

"what is it, maxy?" daniel asks.

"i- i got these for you," max finally presses out. looking anywhere but daniel's face. 

he's holding his hands out, cupped into a little bowl. three pepples are lying on max's palms. 

daniel hesitates, feeling a bit confused. he looks at max, head bowed, arms outstretched, keeling in front of daniel now. 

daniel pushes himself upright into a sitting position. sees max's hands shake, very slightly, but it's there. daniel can see it. 

"you don't have to accept them, of course. this was stupid of me, sorry daniel, forget i ever said anything" max says, slowly lowering his hands.

before max can go any further, daniel cups his hands around max's.

"thanks, maxy, that's so kind of you," daniel says, feeling unmoored. 

max's head snaps up at that, eyes wide. 

"daniel, i-" max starts. 

daniel cuts him off by saying, "c'mon, give em up, i want to see," holding his own palms out for max to deposit the stones into daniel's hands. 

max does so, chewing his own bottom lip. 

daniel inspects the stones. they're all smooth, without imperfections and almost perfectly round. 

"wow, maxy. how'd you even find three of these?" daniel asks, impressed. 

"i dove for them. for you, of course," max says, sounding exasperated. 

"of course, you did," daniel says, grinning. "you're something else, maximus."

max smiles back, one of his signature crinkly smiles etched into his features. the blush doesn't leave max's face for quite a while after that.

Eyes On Fire (maxiel, 2.3k, explicit) AO3

5+1 times Max watches Daniel fuck someone else (+ the one time he doesn’t)

was supposed to be smut but it turned into angst, such is life… enjoy!

(p.s. I’ve never posted fanfic in my life so please be gentle hehe)

———————-

This time it really was an accident. Danny didn’t push the cabin door shut hard enough, too distracted kissing the woman untying the strings of her sequined top, pulling her inside and towards the bed. She navigates her suit down to the plush carpet and grins at him, a flash of white teeth in a sea of brown skin and dark silk sheets. Dan leans back against the headboard as she climbs in his lap, kissing his neck and rubbing her hands down his sun warmed abs. Below her heavy breathing and the muffled sounds of the party he can hear a set of footsteps coming closer down the hallway, pausing, before the heavy wood door is being pushed shut (properly this time). Daniel just catches a glimpse of the back of Max’s strong neck, flushed red and blotchy, before it disappears into the bathroom with a quiet click of the door.

Something mean and possessive pulls low in his stomach when he hears the sound of the shower starting through the wall. He turns his attention back to the tan beautiful woman squirming in his lap, kissing her breasts, the stiff peaks of her nipples held between his teeth. Despite the pit in the bottom of his stomach he can feel his dick start to fill in his swim shorts. The sound of the shower seems so loud it feels like it’s magnifying the sound of his blood loudly rushing around his ears. She arches up out of his lap when he grinds up against her cunt. His mouth feels dry as he pulls the condom from his discarded shorts and slips it on effortlessly. The heartbeat in his ears was deafening, the urge to do something stupid that might hurt him later even louder. He starts fucking her on autopilot, sloppier than he normally would, under circumstances where his heart isn’t in his throat and he isn’t straining to hear what’s happening on the other side of the wall and he hasn’t had three too many drinks at another stupid party on his stupid megayacht to compensate for the undeniable feelings of loss and confusion and want. He falls into a rhythm that feels survivable, overcome with something visceral and toxic. He can’t stop the sunshine flashes of images in his brain; the back of Max’s scarlet neck, the red tips of his sunburned ears, the mole above the line of hair leading into his swim trunks. His lisping accent getting heavier in his stories after his second sweating gin tonic, condensation pooling on his tight pale stomach, glimmering in the sun. Danny imagined himself licking it up.

She is making too much noise, real moans now instead of the fake breathy ones. Some dark part of him he doesn’t want to look at too closely is extremely satisfied that the bed is rattling against the wall a bit, despite the expensive nature of everything on his fucking boat. He hears a thump on the wall of the shower next door, and like a switch going off, he loses it into the condom unexpectedly, feeling like his brain is getting pulled out of his head. As soon as he catches his breath he rolls over and is overcome with feeling like he might cry for some reason. He hasn’t felt like crying after sex in like a decade and that freaks him out more than the actual tears, the unraveling of the carefully crafted armor of his upbeat persona, like pulling the string of an old lovable sweater. He turns back over towards her without looking, his eyes low, murmuring in her ear about ‘a free bathroom upstairs if she needs’ before sliding out of the bed and into the adjoining and currently occupied bathroom, locking the door behind him.

The bathroom is light, shiny wood and glass everywhere, the last of the sunset just starting to turn purple through the sky light. The low sunlight is coloring everything golden through the steam, filling his lungs with lead. He can’t quite bring himself to even glance at the glass shower across the room, entering the water closet and sitting heavily on the closed toilet, rubbing his face with his hands. His legs bounce with thought as the liquor feels like it’s seeping out of his body, a headache creeping back in. He can’t sit still and let the bad feelings overtake him, the hum in his chest still buzzing with the proximity to Max and the relentless sounds of the shower going. He leaps up, flipping the toilet lid open and peeing quickly, box breathing before stepping back out into the warm bathroom. He carefully washes his hands and even brushes his teeth with the individually packaged toiletries next to the sink, convincing himself he is not killing time in avoidance of the man this boat belongs to. Max is facing away from him under the spray, through the fogged up glass and steam. The muscles of his back are the first thing Danny sees as he opens the door quietly but not secretly, wanting to make himself known just in case this was the (second) biggest mistake of his life and he had read every single thing that’s happened in the decade of knowing each other so incredibly wrong. He releases the breath he didn’t realize he was holding as Max stiffens, throwing him a look over his shoulder, one arm leaning against the tiled wall under the spray. Dan is frozen in place, two breaths away from bolting before Max speaks.

“That was quick.” He says so quietly Danny almost misses it, cajoled into stepping close enough to smell the shampoo lingering in his hair. Tea tree. Dan laughs, he can’t help it, and Max whips around unexpectedly, something angry flashing across his face before he lets his mouth drop back into the smile he usually saves for when people annoy him. Danny knows it well.

“She must have been good.” Max almost sounds completely unaffected but his voice cracks at the end and he turns away from him, rinsing his face under the water. His wedding ring flashes under the stream like finding gold in a rushing river. Danny feels this insane throb that he couldn’t prove to anyone shoot down his own ringless finger, just for a second, mirroring the phantom ache in his chest.

He rolls his eyes before he can help it, his own smile turning mean, stepping closer until the spray is hitting the side of his face. Max leans away from him, his back against the tiles, wet hair hanging down in his face and his usually bright eyes soft and serious, almost sad when Dan looks long enough for the moment to get heavy between them again. Water runs down his pretty nose and falls off his plush lips, both of them breathing heavier the closer they are pulled together. The sound of the shower falls silent somehow. Max’s eyes almost look closed but there is a sliver of blue peeking out, watching him carefully. He feels the magnet between them, tilting his head sideways so he can lean his forehead on the tile next to Max’s head, bodies pressed together in what turns into a hug. Max’s arms come up to wrap around him, wet and warm and tight, and something inside Dan’s chest settles back into place, his mouth pressed into the junction of his strong shoulder and neck. If he felt like crying before he really feels like it now, doubled, tripled, the heavy feeling of Max’s marble blue eyes splitting him down the middle, amplified by the taste of his skin when he can’t help but open his mouth across his neck, just for a second. Max sighs and his arms slide under his ribs, holding him even tighter, his hand coming up to pet the back of Dan’s head like he’s trying not to scare off a frightened animal.

He can’t help but laugh into his slightly sunburned shoulder with the ridiculousness of the situation, eyes filling with tears that have probably been coming since he got the invite to the party in the first place. Things with Max were bruised and tender, already complicated without Dan being a drunk mess and fucking some girl in his nice cabin, ruining his beautiful yacht party, smearing his perfect freckled shoulder with his snot and tears all over nothing. He tries to rip away, make a joke to make this swallow easier, call a smaller boat to take him away from this big one and away from his big feelings. Dan was suddenly dying to get back to shore and stop embarrassing himself.

“I’m not-“ he tries, as Max loosens his grip just enough to pull his head back to look at him, blue eyes darting around Danny’s face, stuttering over his lips twice before meeting his own brown eyes again. Max seems to decide something in that moment, nodding, reaching over to pump body wash into his hands.

“You’re not what?” Max says, just as quiet as before, reaching over to soap his arms and down his torso, lathering him carefully and methodically, nearly massaging him under the warm waterfall spray.

“Good..” he whispers, voice thick, the back of his head hitting the tile behind him. His eyes feel heavy, the muscular line of his throat exposed to Max, helpless under warm water and even warmer hands and eyes that are burning him alive. He hopes Max understands what he is trying to say. The urge to close his eyes is only beaten by the electricity of Max watching him, breath catching in his throat when Max kneels down, washing his stomach with the kind of focus that he usually only sees when they’re at work together. Fondness and nostalgia overcome him as he reaches out to push Max’s hair away from his forehead, stroking the tips of his fingers down his scalp in methodical rows, mirroring the movements of Max’s hands carefully washing his legs and feet.

He pulls Max up gently by his biceps, fumbling for the body wash without looking, suddenly desperate to return the favor of being touched more gently than he maybe ever has been by another human. Let alone touched by Max. He lathers the soap down his muscular arms, his soft chest, to his thighs, avoiding looking at his dick by turning him around, making small soapy circles on his lower back and ribs, Max’s head tucked under his chin. He reaches up to massage the muscles in his back when his own dick starts to pique with interest for the first time since the drunk girl was whispering in his ear, Max’s blue eyes piercing him from across the party, lip pulled into his mouth but face remaining indecipherable until she pulled him down the hallway and their eye contact broke.

He suddenly feels like a sleazeball, a little nauesous, thinking about fucking her and Max hearing. Max wanting to hear. He pushes Max’s hips away so they aren’t pressed together anymore, not wanting to ruin yet another moment with him that he won’t get back. His hands follow the soap trickling down his ribs, taking care to be as gentle and thorough as Max was with him. Dan can’t fuck this up too. Max deserves more than what he could give him. He hadn’t realized his hands were tightening until Max touches his face, eyes the softest he has seen them tonight.

“You are good.” He feels like they aren’t talking about sex anymore, the shiver shooting down his spine can’t really be helped. Max’s lips brushed against the shell of his ear as he whispered, lied, his hands covering his other ear, resting on his jaw. He can’t help but close his eyes. Doesn’t realize he’s shaking his head until Max tightens his grip, shower raining down on them, water running clear like a baptism. Dan loses some time until the sound of the water stops and the door opens, cold air rushing in until Max quickly returns with some towels, prewarmed on the fancy rack he must have. There is a coal burning inside of his chest in the shape of the man draping the warm towel around his shoulders, rubbing him dry and okay again.

Max dries himself off with a small private smile creeping up his face, watching Dan in the mirror before turning away, letting himself be watched. Dan allows himself to indulge in watching the fine golden hair on his legs dry, the muscles of his back flexing when he bends down to dry his feet. Max has moles scattering around his pale back, his ass sitting perfectly above the muscle of his thighs. Danny genuinely can’t stand another second without wanting to jump off the deck, slipping out of the warm room into the dark, ripping the dirty sheet off the bed and desperately searching for another. He finds new blankets near the windows, pushing open the curtains as he goes. It’s fully dark outside now, moon hanging over the curve of the bay. Danny has just managed to wrestle the new bedding onto the bed before Max clicks the light off in the bathroom, leaving them in the moonlight streaming in from the glass, both naked, both staring. He wants to close his eyes again.

Dan feels like his heart is outside of his body, standing across the room, waiting to see what happens next. He can’t stand to fuck up again today. He turns to crawl under the plush covers, pulling the other side of the blankets open, hoping. He can’t open his eyes out of fear of an empty room but he stretches his arms out, begging, wanting, the longer the seconds stretch out the higher the bile is climbing up his chest. When the bed dips down with Max’s precious weight he feels like yelling, crying, kissing him. He settles for reaching out to slowly slip his arm around his warm belly, giving Max the chance to pull away. When he melts further back into Danny’s arms he can’t help but kiss the back of his neck, once.

His hands stutter over the band on Max’s finger in the dark, he can swear it’s warm enough to burn him. He lets out a breath he can’t suck back in and Max doesn’t hesitate to pull the ring off and slide it carefully onto the nightstand. Dan sits up, drinking from the very convenient rich people carafe of what he can only imagine is very nice water. His mind starts to wonder what other lips have touched the glass before he feels a warm soft hand between his ribs.

“Daniel.” Max mumbles, sounding half asleep already, voice rasping. He pulls their bodies together again under the silky comforter and Dan’s throat is thick with emotion suddenly. They never end up talking about what they’ve done to each other to end up here, always acting on impulses and never dealing with the consequences later. It’s always worth it.

“M’sorry. Love you.” Dan finds himself mumbling into the fine hairs on the back of Max’s neck, lips smashed into the skin, partly muffling the most damning part. He feels his ears heat up with shame as Max’s entire body tenses for a held breath, then another, before he exhales and relaxes in his arms. He has no choice but to analyze what it means in the morning, tired brain slipping away, unable to resist his warmth.

War is Over

Pairing : Reader x Daniel Ricciardo x Max Verstappen | Poly fem!reader

Warnings : use of y/n, smau, polyamory, queer drivers, reader is around 30

Synopsis : You’re just a mechanic at RedBull, not much more to say. Nothing in your contract says you can’t be friends with drivers, right ? The little lines very clearly says you’re not allowed to show it all though. When your chosen “family” fails you, all you can do is hope your loved ones save themselves too.

Moth’s prophecy💡: Hi cryptids, honestly I have no excuses to give, sorry for the randomness of it all, I just needed to get this out to process with the pain of loosing Daniel. I can only hope he finds happiness away from the shit show that RedBull is becoming. Probably going back to hibernation, see ya !

yourusername : Well, there it is. After 15 years of working on cars, the last 10 in motorsports, last five in Formula 1, it’s time for me to take a break. It was just perfect to finish it off in my hometown Austin, and I’m so grateful to my friends and family who made the trip to celebrate together. I remember my first week at Milton Keynes, my whole life in a suitcase. Abu Dhabi 2021, and those stories we’ll keep for our old days. I was so proud to be part of this, the champagne, the fireworks, the love. The day Daniel came back to us. The people I’ve met, the opportunities I’ve had, none would have been possible without you, ‘Bull. It’s been oh so amazing, but oh so tiring. I’ve reached a point in my life where I need my environment to be aligned with what I want, my values and the people I love and care for. So it’s goodbye.

F1, thank you for everything. I’ll miss you, but I gotta go. 💙

redbullracing There aren’t enough words to describe the impact you’ve had on our history, Max. You’ll forever be a pillar of the RedBull family, and an icon of the sport. Tudududu 🧡

lewishamilton Thank you for the challenges, you’ve always pushed us to go harder. Never thought I would have to see you leave, but we’ll keep your legacy running 👑

user82 Alonso when ???

danielricciardo : From sneaking out of restaurants to barricading the doors of our shared hotel rooms, I wish I could have told the world earlier how much I love you. But I’m glad I can now. There’s something magical about finding the one, so when you find the two, you’ll make any radical change necessary to protect them. Think you were right Maxie, the farm life does suit us.

This was the Honey Badger, peace ✌🏻

now i desperately need someone to write a Maxiel AU where they're fleeing the country as a married couple using the pseudonyms Franz and Frank Hermann.

[hotandcoldest]

I'm impressed when I see f1 rpf writers doing so much research, taking what they're writing very seriously, and then you see books published about f1 where the protagonist wins the wdc by overtaking under the safety car.

[sequinsandfins]

Max feels frustrated and a little angry. He has to bite his tongue at the sight of every microphone shoved in his face.

Later, once the media circus has died down, he finds himself searching the paddock, instinctively, before he can stop himself and then the devastating reality hits him once again.

He’s looking for Daniel.

He wants to pull out his phone and force Daniel to listen to him rant about his race, talk things over with him.

But he promised.

Not yet.

Daniel had not wanted to debrief with Max since leaving the paddock last year, and Max feels like his anchor has left and he’s been floating adrift ever since.

His phone vibrates in his hand, and he looks down, heart jumps in his chest as he sees a new message.

Here if you wanna chat.

He’s hitting call before he can stop himself.

“Hiya Maxie,” Daniel’s voice greets him warmly, and something starts to slowly unfurl in his chest.

“What a bullshit penalty,” Max says in return, already smiling, no heat behind his complaint, and he is rewarded by the beautiful sound of Daniel’s laughter.

For @saapphicx because I had to get this out of my head before I went back to sleep 😭

[emeraldscript]

1.1k of alien max. maxiel. daniel confronts some of his shit and massively catastrophizes (all of alien max verse here)

Fuck.

Fuck, fuck, fuck is all Daniel can think when it dawns on him what he'd just done. Of course he managed to fuck up the one thing that's made him feel good and positive and nice for the first time in months. And Max was being so sweet about it, apparently taking it slow on Daniel's behalf. 

Daniel covers his face with his hands and muffles a frustrated groan with his palms. He's such a fucking idiot.

It's okay. He can fix it. He can be an adult about this and speak to Max. He should. He can explain his position in this whole thing better and they can move on from there. Daniel drags himself up from the sofa and walks towards the kitchen.

"Max!" he says. He finds the kitchen empty. Maybe upstairs.

Daniel walks up the stairs, taking the steps two at a time. Knocks on Max's room door, even though he hasn't stayed in there in days. No response. Daniel peeks inside, no sign of Max. He's also not in the bathroom or Daniel's bedroom.

Right. Okay, that's fine. Daniel can feel his heart rate spiking uncomfortably. Doesn't like how it feels not knowing where Max is or if he's okay. Daniel half sprints down the stairs, out towards the barn, calling Max's name. No response. Max is also not by his aircraft. He's not in it. Or in the other outbuilding. 

Daniel feels his pulse hammer in his ears, feels his jugular pulsing in his neck. Through ragged breaths Daniel continues calling Max's name in the dark. 

"Max! Max, please respond. I'm sorry, I-" Daniel says, stumbling over a misplaced stone on the path towards the back of the house. 

The pool. Yes, maybe Max is in the pool! Daniel picks up the pace, crouching down by the edge of the pool to see if Max is on the bottom. He can't really see with only faint light spilling over from the other side of the house with the living room lights on. 

He's not here. Max is gone. 

No, no, no, no. 

No. What if he gets lost in the desert without any water? What if a weirdo takes advantage of Max? 

Fuck. Fuck, he's fucked this up so royally. He feels panic spread in his chest, feels his throat close up, feels his vision start to blur.

He croaks out another broken "Max," while stumbling his way towards the backdoor of the house. 

The lock won't fucking turn, when he tries to open the door. Eventually the door flies open with force and Daniel stumbles inside onto his carpet. Car keys, he needs to get to his keys and go out to find Max and bring him back. He won't make it out in the desert sun. Daniel reckons he has a couple hours until sun-up to find him. What if he gets bitten by some fucking snake. Daniel tries to breathe through his nose as he stumbles towards his hallway sideboard with his key bowl. He rummages through his key pile, looking for the key for his truck.

"Fuck," Daniel mutters out. He can't see much, why is his vision so blurry? His hands won't stop fucking shaking. 

"Fuck's sake," Daniel says to no one in particular. 

"Daniel?" Daniel hears from behind him.

When he turns around, he sees Max standing there in only his underwear, drenched wet, dripping onto his carpet, looking confused or concerned, Daniel can't quite tell. 

"Max?" Daniel hears himself say before taking two strides over to him and throwing his arms around Max. "Oh, thank fucking god," Daniel mutters into Max's shoulder. 

"Daniel, are you okay?" he hears Max say.

"Don't ever do that again, okay?" Daniel says.

"Go in the pool?" Max asks.

"The pool?" Daniel asks, "I checked in there, you weren't there. I was so fucking worried you ran away, Max."

"Why would I do that?" Max asks.

"Because I was being a cunt," Daniel says, voice wet. 

"You're not a cunt, Daniel," Max says, matter of factly. "Your heart rate is way too high, c'mon we should sit down," Max says, slowly guiding Daniel downwards.

Max spreads his legs out and Daniel settles between them, still holding onto Max, sniffling into his neck.

"Daniel," Max starts.

"No, Max, let me explain. I-" Daniel begins, pressing air out of his lungs with a heavy exhale. "I'm a mess, Maxy. Like a real walking catastrophe. I used to. Well, I'm not a farmer. I used to do something else and I loved it. I loved it so much but then it got complicated and I got injured and one thing led to another and now I'm not doing that thing anymore. And I'm really fucking- I can't really sleep. You know that. Before you arrived I barely got two hours in at a time and I was only out driving when you crashed because of my insomnia. And that doesn't help with all the rest of it. I can't even go to a shop without freaking out. And earlier, I was suddenly so convinced you were gone or something terrible had happened or will happen to you. Fuck."

Daniel felt Max's hand rub slow circles over his back.

"And well. I like you a lot Max. You're weird and funny and so, so lovely. And I'm afraid I'm going to fuck it all up. And you're not even human. And you don't know how any of this works and I don't want to make you do anything you're not comfortable with," Daniel finishes.

"Daniel, you also don't really know how any of this works. We've clearly been talking past each other about a lot of things. It's okay. We don't have to solve all of it now. But for the record, I have been trying and apparently failing to court you this whole time," Max says.

"I don't know about failing. You're pretty smooth for an alien," Daniel snorts into Max's damp shoulder. He feels Max's shoulder shake against his cheek.

"And the rest is of course okay, Daniel. You should take your time. I don't know how humans work but is there a sort of treatment you could get for what you're dealing with?" Max asks.

"There is. Kind of," Daniel says.

"That's good. We can do it together if it's scary," Max suggests.

Daniel nods against his shoulder and mumbles a quiet "okay".

Thank you for all of the love so far, and thank you to @scuderiafemboy & @sleepyverstappens for the help with my Dutch translations, and of course @shineon3 & @lost-in-fandoms for the cheerleading and beta-ing 🤩

#TeamCaddyonThree

Cadillac Ranch on Ao3:

Max says, “from your pop up in New York, this guy says ‘no Cadillac?’ like a rude fucking idiot and then you say ‘nah I’m done’ with your big PR smile. It is funny because I was not under the impression that you were ‘done’, Daniel. You have not said that you are done.” He clears his throat, hums, says quietly, “I mean I think the decision was made for me, Maxy." or: the one where Daniel goes to Cadillac

Banner created by the lovely @shineon3 who also has been the loveliest beta and cheerleader to me for the past few weeks. Also, a shoutout to @lost-in-fandoms for hyping me up when I needed it! Fandom friends ❤ I appreciate you both so much.

when you’re reading a fic and the author starts using nationalities to refer to the characters is such a pet peeve of mine. like why are we getting the government involved? why is the kingdom of Spain being invoked in this sweet little carcar story?

I think I hate it the most with max - just say ‘he’ instead of ‘the Dutchman’ like it truly feels so extra and a bit amateur (in the nicest way) as a writing choice and no really great fic ever does it.

and the term ‘Monegasque’ is genuinely such an insane demonym, i feel like it automatically disturbs the flow of a fic if it’s used too much. like why is it being said so frequently - ‘the Monegasque held the Dutchman’s hand’ - what is this, a meeting of the United Nations???

bring back pronouns for fics in 2025!!!

[blamemma]

so what if ur ex-teammate who taught you everything you know is about to leave and ur facing all those emotions and its sad and its stressful and you're trying your best to keep him happy. fly him to singapore on your private jet, play padel with him until the late hours of the evening, carry his umbrella for him in the pouring rain, making him laugh so brightly on the drivers parade. and its fun but its tough and its serene but its stressful. and then they put you in ice baths together, a confessional curtain between you both, your head as close as it can get towards him so you can imitate closeness and touch. and for one final time, he sits and gives you orders on how to jerk off. like he did many years ago when you first started off as team mates. how he taught you to treat yourself, soft and kind and slow.

[multiformula-fest]

Fics out now!!

A big thank you to all of our wonderful authors who participated in the fest! A few more works will be coming in the upcoming days, so stay stuned still!

The authors reveal will come on the 5th of July! Make your guesses in the comments of the fics! Love bomb the authors!

Masterpost under the cut!

holding the man (AFL fusion)

Daniel Ricciardo/ Max Verstappen | 10.6k | M | 2/2 There isn’t some big thunderclap or lightning strike or sudden downpour when Max sees Daniel again for the first time in six months. It feels like there should be. Daniel looks just the same as he did in January: curly hair, smaller smile than the usual giant one, slight air of melancholy. Perth has maybe not been as good for Daniel as Max was thinking it was being.

Verbum caro factum est. (MotoGP fusion)

Charles Leclerc/ Marc Marquez | 1.9k | E | 1/1 And the verb became flesh. Sleeping with the archnemesis of someone linked to you by fate and faith isn’t usually respectful, that is to admitted, but when Charles Leclerc is presented with Marc Marquez, after a pathetic race, he remembers that not everything holy can be moral.

showin’ people how little we care (Tennis fusion)

Lewis Hamilton/ Nico Rosberg | 3.8k | T | 1/1 If Nico had been across the net instead, he would have pounced. Or: Some things are the same in every universe. It’s 2016, and Nico retires - this time at the Laver Cup.

bravado (Women’s Softball fusion f/f)

Lando Norris/ Oscar Piastri | 19.2k | T | 2/2 The Women’s Softball World Cup is the premier international competition in the world of professional softball, and Australia hasnt won it since the inaugural tournament in 1965. Oscar and her team are determined to change that and bring the Aussie Spirit their first title in the modern era. It won’t be easy, though. Not with Team Great Britain hellbent on chasing their first ever champion win. Of course, it doesn’t help that Oscar has a massive crush on their starting pitcher, Lando Norris.

I Won’t Let You Burn (Rally fusion)

Charles Leclerc/ Max Verstappen | 5.2k | M | 1/3 “Jack’s wife is leaving him. He’s pulling out of the rally season.” Max sounds defeated, voice muffled and thin through the phone, everything unsaid hanging between the words. “I’m sorry, Max,” Charles starts and then stops. Jack was now on a short list of people in Max’s life that stopped him from making his rally debut. Only Charles’ had cost Max a lot more than an opportunity. “Charles, I didn’t call for sympathy. I called because I want you to replace him. I want you to be my co-driver this season.” OR A little over a year after a big accident Max asks Charles to bridge the gap of their separation and enter the WRC championship as his co-driver.

the points that matter (Tennis fusion)

Lewis Hamilton/ Nico Rosberg/ Sebastian Vettel | T | 3.7k | 1/5 Nico wanted to win Wimbledon, like his father did. That was his goal. Everything else was meaningless as he seemed to emulate that day in the sun when he was barely tall enough to gaze over the net and brimming with pride. With talented rivals and hungry press, he was determined to use anything to reach the top - even his own heart. Alternatively, a Challengers AU for Multi Formula Dest where Nico is Art, Lewis is Tashi and Seb is Patrick, and they could do with less cut-throat ambition and better communication.

it costs farewell tears for a welcome home parade (Volleyball fusion)

Charles Leclerc/ Max Verstappen | 3.8k | T | 1/1 Charles is the lightning quick setter for Modena, Max is the brash opposite for Trento – once again, they face off during playoffs. or: the inherent yearning of looking at each other from different sides of the net when you used to stand side by side on the court

[hotandcoldest]

I hate when I get so hyperfixated on a ship that it becomes impossible for me to read fics about other pairings that involve one of them 😭 Even if I like the author and the plot, something just doesn't click.

[sequinsandfins]

“Photo lads?” George’s tone is casual, but Oscar rolls his eyes at the obvious play happening, and here he thought their game was over.

Daniel is oblivious and enthusiastically grabs someone’s attention to take their photo.

George, not so subtly, rushes to hand over his phone. Oscar tries hard not to roll his eyes once more as he finds himself between Scotty and Daniel. He notes George’s hand resting against Daniel’s neck. At least he isn’t grabbing it possessively.

At any other time, Oscar might have called George out on his behaviour, but he’s got to take any advantage he can.

It doesn’t hurt that Daniel’s two closest friends on the grid are also Oscar’s two closest competitors, and he suspects he knows how they will react.

So Oscar smiles for the camera and lets George gleefully post the picture.
