To end a bloody war between two kingdoms, Omega prince Charles Leclerc is given as a peace offering to Jarl Max Verstappen, a pagan warlord from the North. Charles, raised in a society where omegas aren’t much different from property, is thrust into a world where power, freedom, and pleasure intertwine. And the man he’s meant to fear might be the first one to see him as more than just a prize to keep.

I’m excited to see Lando and Charles’s relationship expand a little bit more in the next few chapters. I know we got a little bit of them in the latest chapter but I’m excited to get more scenes of them.

You will enjoy chapter 8!

Hello!!!

I just came to check out your tumblr after three rereads of hour of the lion so far to say this fic is absolutely amazing!!

I myself struggle to comfortably read any omegaverse fics especially in the F1 fandom as they are overly sexual because of the the fact it’s an omegaverse fic, yours is the opposite!!! It has its smut scenes but it isn’t the soul of the fic like most are, it’s the story!

I always find it weird to read smut as it’s usually an unpleasant read, but the way you write it is amazing and makes it less awkward!!!!

The world building is amazing and when reading I can imagine the scenes in my head with how detailed you are at points when describing certain things whether it be the kingdom they are in or a room!

I’m super excited for what’s to come with this fic!! :)

Awww, thank you, love! 💛

I really love worldbuilding... character dynamics, relationships, the lore... all the little details that make a story feel alive. That's the part of writing that truly excites me.

That said, sometimes a story calls for those moments, and I do my best to write them in a way that serves the characters and their relationships.

I'm really glad you're enjoying the story. Hearing that people are connecting with it genuinely makes me so happy 🥹💛

[babybatsunite]

I‘m so excited for the new chapter!

I’m really excited for you guys to read it! I have a feeling you folks are going to enjoy (the actual) chapter 8 quite a lot!

I’ll do my best to finish it and get it posted soon!

Unfortunately, my (ex?) advisor seems determined to extract the very last drops of usefulness from me before I escape to philosophy. So I’ve been spending a lot of time in the lab lately.

But chapter 8 is very much alive, and I’m working on it whenever I can. Thank you guys for being patient with me 💛

Were Max and Lando each others firsts?👀 That‘s so adorable to me

In my headcanon they were definitely each others firsts 💜

[babybatsunite]

If Charles is 5 months pregnant that means one month or even sooner until Carlos arrives… I wonder what his reaction is going to be when he shows up and sees Charles pregnant with a “barbarian’s” baby and in a triad relationship. I also hope Max is back by the time Carlos arrives.

It's gonna be very messy.

[babybatsunite]

I've received a few comments lately on AO3 asking about the relationship between Max, Charles, and Lando, and they've made me wonder whether I wasn't as clear as I thought I was while writing.

So, just for the sake of clarification:

The love between Lando and Max is absolutely romantic and entirely genuine. Their relationship predates the beginning of the story by many, many years, and by the time we meet them, they have already built a life together.

I think part of the confusion may come from the fact that Lando is, affectionately speaking, a bit of a whore.

He enjoys sex, enjoys flirting, enjoys affection, and generally approaches those things with far less restraint than most of the other characters. That's simply part of who he is. But his enjoyment of casual relationships was never meant to be interpreted as a lack of love for Max.

To me, those two things are completely separate. Lando can be deeply devoted to Max while also being a very sexually open person. The existence of one does not invalidate the other.

At no point was I intending for readers to think that Lando was staying with Max out of guilt, obligation, or some sense of debt. If anything, Lando is probably the least likely character in the entire story to remain in a relationship he doesn't genuinely want to be in.

Likewise, the relationship between Charles and Lando is also romantic. It's a slower and more gradual development than Charles's relationship with Max, but it is nonetheless romantic.

One of the things I wanted to explore in this story was the idea that love can take many forms and grow in many different directions without necessarily competing with itself.

Ultimately, Max, Charles, and Lando are intended to be a triad. Their relationships with one another are different, and they develop at different paces, but they are all rooted in genuine love, affection, trust, and mutual choice.

Filler chapter - The Jarl and His hearthmate

Hi, everyone!

The filler chapter is officially posted 💛

I hope you guys enjoy it! Before you start reading, though, please make sure to check the tags and notes at the end for any potential trigger warnings.

The filler chapter is a bit shorter than what I normally post. But don’t worry! the real chapter 8 will still be its usual monstrous, overdescriptive self.

Happy reading, loves, and as always, thank you so much for all the support 🫶

Oscar has really been growing on me lately..

So if I suddenly show up with an Oscar-centric fic one of these days, just know that I've been fighting demons for weeks and finally lost.

[babybatsunite]

No I deadass turned my tv off in rage

no, seriously. Even my bf who's >not< into f1 was gagged by this diabolical race

[babybatsunite]

you gotta be shitting me.

How is your creative process like?

Painful and all over the place, lol.

I have ADHD, so focusing long enough to sit down and write is genuinely difficult for me. My creativity tends to come in very intense bursts, and when an idea hits me, I have to write it down immediately. If I tell myself, "Oh, I'll do it later," there's a very good chance that later will come and the excitement that made me want to write it in the first place will have disappeared.

That's actually one of the main reasons why my updates can take so long. Writing is honestly quite difficult. There are days when I desperately want to write and absolutely nothing comes out. Then there are other days when my brain suddenly decides to cooperate and I end up writing thousands of words in a single sitting.

When I'm in one of those creativity peaks, everything flows very naturally. The dialogue comes easily, the scenes play out in my head like a movie, and I can spend hours writing without even noticing the time passing. Unfortunately, I can't really predict when those moments will happen 😭

As for how I actually build a chapter, I always start by making a chapter guide. It's usually just a collection of notes, scene descriptions, dialogue snippets, random ideas, and reminders about things I want to include.

Then I start writing the scenes themselves. The funny thing is that I almost never write them in order. If I'm excited about a scene that happens near the end of the chapter, I'll write that first. If I suddenly get inspiration for a conversation in the middle, I'll write that instead. I basically jump around the chapter, writing whatever scene my brain is most interested in at that particular moment.

By the time I'm done, I usually have a bunch of disconnected scenes scattered throughout the document. Then comes the truly magical part: trying to stitch everything together.

It's a complete mess, but apparently it works.

I’m coming out and asking this point blank because this just popped into my mind. Was Kimi the omega that was offered to Max by the Blackwoods?

Hi, love! I can you give you guys a bit more insight about Kimi with this question.

No! Kimi is actually from the kingdom of Mercedia (very creative, I know). He lives as a monk in a Mercedian monastery (ring a bell?).

Also, Max is going to do something to Kimi that might make a few of you raise your eyebrows. Nothing overly bad, don’t worry (definitely not SA), but it’s one of those moments where you read it and go, “Max... what exactly possessed you to think this was a reasonable course of action?”

[babybatsunite]

Okay, so, call me crazy but I was just rereading the tags bc someone recently mentioned the Unplanned pregnancy one (which I had not even noticed before). Tell me why I stumbled upon "Andrea Kimi Antonelli needs a hug" BC UHH??? We have NOT even seen a mention of Kimi yet. Is he going to appear in Act II???

I was already losing my mind trying to figure out who the two prego omegas will be (bc Charles is obviously pregnant so the other two are the mystery *Please let it not be Landon*) and now the fact that Kimi is also apparently part of the plot has made me more lost than before.😭😭

Hehe. You are in for a treat.

Kimi will appear in chapter 8.

[babybatsunite]

Hi, divas!

Quick question for you guys:

Would you rather read the filler chapter first, or would you prefer I post chapter 8 before that? 👀

I’m personally leaning toward posting the filler chapter first, since chapter 8 takes place after a bit of a time skip and I think it would make the transition feel more natural.

That being said, I’d love to know what you guys prefer! 💛

So...

Chapter 8 first

Filler first

Voting ended onJun 6

[babybatsunite]

Also I see unplanned pregnancy in the tags I’m wondering if it is the character who I think is going to get pregnant or it could be potentially someone else…

Ok, what I CAN say is: There will be 3 pregnancies in arc II and none of them will be by the same omega.

Ou seja: 3 different omegas.
