the chinese commentators called charles the phoenix to max’s dragon (the wife to the husband) before saying that he surely would not accept such a role and then they started laughing 😭😭
On Tiktok i came across a video in which someone posted Max's messages from the Team Redline discord. (I'd share the acc but I'm not a fan of posting someone's semi-private, out-of-context, many years old messages. I'm only sharing this following screenshot because I think it's harmless.) This was one of the messages shared:
So naturally, i'm like '???' because there wasn't a Dutch GP in the 21st century until 2021 and this screenshot is from 2020. So I'm like maybe it was a virtual GP. Nope, no such thing happened, at least I couldnt find it if it exists. (I wasn't watching f1 in 2020 so I don't know much about that time, lmk if I'm wrong.)
So I'm like, alright, I don't know what this is about. I posted it on twitter with the caption 'excuse me' and left it at that.
And genuinely like 2 hours later, completely unrelated, I was watching this interview with Frits Van Amersfoort about Charles. And he mentioned how Charles's season went a bit downhill after he had a bad weekend and a crash at Zandvoort.
Mind you, this was F3 in 2015, the year in which Max was already in F1. So, unless I'm missing something, I guess he was watching Charles's F3 season? 😭 And remembered it five years later? Obsessed much Maxie?
Wait, Max tried to convince his F3 team to sign Charles???? I need you to tell me everything about that, and to link every article or video where they speak about that please
Ah sorry, I can't remember the original source! It's been mentioned a couple of times that Max recommended Charles to his old F3 team after he signed for Toro Rosso at the end of 2014. I think it was also mentioned a couple of times on Twitter by journalists who follow karting/junior formulas. (Maybe I should start keeping receipts on Lestappen crumbs! 😅)
As a matter of fact, Max's old team Van Amersfoort Racing (VAR, a Dutch team) did sign Charles for 2015. Max spent only 2014 in single seaters before jumping to F1. Apparently Charles was still looking for a seat (Nicolas Todt was already his manager, but this was still in the pre-FDA, pre-financially secure Charles days, and his racing career was far from guaranteed), and Max supposedly recommended Charles to his old team because he didn't want his talented former karting rival to not have a seat.
Their old team boss Frits van Amersfoort had a lot of positive things to say about both of them, referring to Max and Charles as Senna and Prost, stating that he hopes they will fight each other for championships, He spent 20 minutes waxing poetic about them back in 2015 (interesting insight on young Max and young Charles actually).
I think Charles's abilities would have earned him a seat somewhere for 2015 anyway, and his manager Nicolas Todt was never going to let his talent go to waste, but I always thought it was sweet that no matter how much they couldn't stand each other as kids, talent recognized talent unconditionally. There's always such an underlying respect between Max and Charles. At the end of the day, they wanted to compete against the best - and that meant each other, and they knew it.
Young Charles Leclerc driving for the Dutch team Van Amersfoort Racing back in 2015.
(Fun fact: He raced under #7, which is why he wanted that number when he entered F1, but alas it was already taken.)
Young Max Verstappen in his F3 car with Van Amersfoort Racing, 2014.
(Max raced under #30 back in the day.)
TL;DR: Lestappen go way back. Another example of the all-consuming soulmate-ism of their intertwined lives and careers.
for the authors who still haven't uploaded their claim (me included....) please try to do so today so that I can still promote your fic as part of the fest!

Deliver Us From Evil by @drivingstuff
Max is an ancient incubus, born of the union between a nymph and a bull—stronger and more fertile than any of his kind. Every hundred years, he must breed: lay his eggs inside a vessel.
Disguised among men, in the Venetian foothills of the Dolomites, he meets Charles—a young and devoted priest.
It takes only one look to know.
Charles will be the warm sanctuary where his eggs will rest.
Bloodflood by Anonymous
The reflective scales that littered themselves down the length of Charles' tail fractured the light that broke through the water, and the great sails of his flukes drifted through the warm tide in heaving waves.
Max followed the glittering display as his torso disappeared behind a tumbling collapse of coral, eyes helpless but to match the delicate curve of skin.
Charles hadn’t turned back to make sure Max was following, he knew he’d been seen; deliberate in his coy appearance, and sure as anything that Max would tumble helplessly behind in his wake.

Charles and Max are a mated merman pair in a secluded reef of their own: a window into interesting physiological choices and the joy of not having anyone tell you that you can't write insane porn for fun.
MAX by @saiyanwitcher
Charles buys himself a Christmas present and gets more than he bargained for.
To the guts... to the heart by opheliass33
Prompt:
Charles wants Max to hit him during sex. Max kinda enjoys some aspects but still it's not his thing and he actually feels bad about it after everytime. He can't say no because he doesn't want other people to hurt Charles and this is the only way he can be with him. When Charles passes out one night he loses his head and breaks things off while crying because he can't do this anymore.
The break up? affected Charles badly but he thinks if he finds some new freak he will be okay. He finds the freaks and it looks like it was not the hitting that was good, it was Max.
Hello, what about love triangle among Charles, Max and his twin Emilian? Charles is still in Ferrari, Max is still a WDC whith Red Bull, but his (evil) twin is in either in another racing series either in a team like errrr Haas.
Have a nice day btw!
I'm sorry, I made this one dark!!!!
Max's evil twin kidnaps Max and locks him up and then basically takes over his life
he drives his red bull and lives in his house and kisses his boyfriend Charles
but Charles knows something isn't right, because Max is treating him differently - he's more dismissive, rougher when they kiss, and he's not spoiling Charles like usual
Charles realises that it must be Emilian, but he has no idea where Max is and nobody will help him
Eventually he realises he's going to have to keep going along with Emilian's plan to try and see if he can figure out where Max is, which would include having sex with him
But he starts to hate himself for cheating on Max, even though he's only doing it because he needs to find out where Max is, and then he can't keep doing it anymore
So he confesses to Emilian that he's known all along that he's not Max, but that now he prefers Emilian and doesn't want Max to come back ...
Emilian, who thinks he's owed everything that Max has, thinks that that just makes sense: of course Charles would realise that he's the better twin
It still takes a while for Charles to work up to it, because he doesn't want to tip Emilian off immediately, but eventually he asks, "So, what did you do with Max?"
it's been like. 3 months at this point.
and Emilian tells Charles where he's been hiding him and that he visits him every week just to taunt him and Charles asks if he can go with him this week. Because now he knows that Emilian is so amazing, he only wants the worst for Max.
So Emilian takes Charles there and he see's Max, looking terrible and gaunt and like he's been starving. And Max is so broken by seeing Charles there, because Emilian has been taunting him for months about how he's been fucking his boyfriend but Max didn't believe him, except now Charles is there
But Charles can't make a move, not yet, so he waits until he and Emilian are back at the apartment and then he ties Emilian up, claiming its for some kind of, like, BDSM scene, but then he leaves Emilian there and goes and frees Max
They go to the police and Emilian gets arrested, but Max has terrible PTSD and is very weak and fragile and can't drive for a while
He and Charles obviously also have a lot of issues because Charles was knowingly fucking his brother, even if it was to save Max
But eventually they'd work it out! And have a happy ever after! (As always with me haha)
