a monster inside by awaywego (ao3) / @awaywegofg
charles notices that max has a crush on him. this is very funny to him and he decides to soothe his ego by sleeping with max. his ego gets upset when max is not looking at him. because max is supposed to have a crush on HIM, thank you very much. charles is super duper not getting attached though.
lay all your love by weiwuxian (ao3) / @breathofnyx link
max confesses that he is in love with charles. charles obviously does not feel the same. obviously. that doesnt mean he wants to stop sleeping together. charles is stupid and a little cruel at times in this fic which makes it all the more delicious as he realizes.
desired attention // denied affection by @zehiristyle (same handle on ao3)
wip! charles likes having it be casual and no-strings attached with max. he does NOT want to get serious. unfortunately a little italian boy has set his sights on max and charles is feeling several ways about it.
baby i'm the one to beat by bagoldfish (I do not know their tumblr)
makes every single one of my rec lists. bonus feature of this fic is you can find me in the comments of every chapter bc I love it so much.
charles and max are hooking up and there are absolutely no feelings attached. you might be sensing the theme of this fic rec list now. dw though, I'm sure charles will behave rationally, right?? RIGHT?

irresistible by @bbygirlverstappen (same handle on ao3)
okay I'm cheating a little bit with this one bc charles isn't AS stupid here, but I love it so much it's getting included and you can all fight me on it. max is an omega. charles thinks max smells REALLY good but that has nothing to do with anything don't even worry about it
a new + gorgeous addition!!!
Charles Leclerc and the Curious Case of Compulsory Heterosexuality by @ladysomething (Lady_Something on ao3)
max and charles are best friends. max has been out for years and tells charles he is in love with him. charles tells him he is straight and so can't ever love him back. he is perhaps not correct.
