Somebody write this please!!!
There is such a tag in this blog. Under this tag, I post my ideas with the hope that talented and experienced authors will see it.
That they would see it and be able to rewrite it properly. And then I'll read and reread it because I love Maxiel and I can't live without them.
There are too few fics in the world, I need more, I need my precious!!!
✨️Imagine✨️
the fairy tale about a lion and a honey badger
scream I just watched the most unhinged tiktok/reel and my brain went 'this is daniel coded' SO!
Max never believed in guardian angels. Sure his mom and sister light candles for him every race, but that was as far as he went when it comes to spirituality and like God. Lewis mentions his guardian angel all the time, says he's met him a couple times and he's saved his ass multiple times.
Charles believes in guardian angels, said he saw Jules' and talks to his all the time.
Max doesn't have a guardian angel.
I hear you call my name (and it feels like home)
chapter 1/2 - summary:
max has had his soulmark for as long as he remembers, little letters in neat cursive tucked on the inside of his wrist. his mom said he was born with it, even if it took her a few days to notice the words on his chubby little hands. daniel is eight when he wakes up to small, unfamiliar words on the inside of his wrist. he immediately runs downstairs, excitedly shouting to catch his parent's attention, and he spends the better part of his day looking at his wrist, tracing over the small, raised line, enamored with the words. or: the happy ending is foretold, but maaaan, it sucks to get there

(i am extremly late but!!! here's the post for the gbb summer fic fest "Written In the Stars"!! i had a bit of trouble writing it, and it's not complete yet, but i managed to post the first chapter and i'll try to write and post the second soon, so go give it some love, and give some love to the other fics in the collection too!)
a guide to dating modern omegas, 9.9k, E, complete
max/daniel, max/george, george/daniel
cw: potential dub-con, explicit sex, cuckolding, a/b/o dynamics
If you ask Max, he’ll happily tell you he fancies himself a modern omega. He really is - he's even dating a beta. (Max's boyfriend has been sleeping with an alpha behind his back for five months. Of course, Max goes to introduce himself.)
The biggest fear: Max and Daniel will stop communicating.
I keep looking for their mutual likes on Instagram. I think about how they meet and spend time together, it's just not captured on camera. This is not in the romantic sense, but in the sense of friendship. My friendships are crumbling now, and I'm afraid to imagine losing that too. It's stupid, they don't know me, they have their own lives, their own priorities. But... Little Lily in a little Enchante costume. Paddle tennis meetings.
For 10 years, they have been contacting each other and supporting each other. If I lose it, I will...I'll be selfish here. Even though I wish them happiness with the people they love, I just can't accept that they won't be friends.
Do you remember me saying that I have a big fear that Max and Daniel will stop communicating?
He texts with Max more often. Still.
maxiel - lace (so happy you're back!)
Daniel pulls the black lace bra by the elastic straps and shoots it like an arrow into his teammate's reddened face.
✨️Imagine✨️
Max is easy to love. He's sweet, kind, funny, damn smart. He is very professional and stubborn. He's incredibly hot when he's angry, when he gives his all to sports, when he laughs, when he breathes...
Daniel doesn't know when he started feeling the same way about GP.
It's not just appreciation and gratitude for support to Max when he couldn't be there for himself.
Maybe after Daniel noticed his proud look after their 1-2.
Maybe after GP congratulated the happy Max on his victory, and then found the unhappy Daniel after the defeat and hugged him tightly.
Maybe after GP listened with what seemed to be great interest about Australia, about kangaroos, about soft hoodies, about beer, about wine, about the possibility of a Big Foot.
Max is easy to love. Even after the screams on the radio and his stubbornness. It's soft and sensitive inside. He is responsible and straightforward. He loves sports passionately and hates stupid people. He thrives next to his loved ones and hardens next to his enemies.
GP doesn't know when he started feeling the same way about Daniel.
Maybe after he noticed Daniel's friendliness towards the clumsy and almost wild Max.
Maybe after he saw a soft and sleepy Daniel after a long flight.
Maybe when GP saw him in black and yellow, glowing with happiness again, cheerful, when he was himself again, real honey badger.
Daniel is calling to see how Max is doing after Silverstone, and GP needs to make sure that Daniel is okay too.
Daniel shows up at the factory and GP reaches out to him with a hug when the cameras are removed. The way Daniel clings to him in response makes something inside flutter.
Daniel sets the fastest lap, and it's not just Max who gets tears in his eyes.
He could never say "Riccardo," it was always "Daniel."
It's not easy for Max to express his feelings. As a child, he only allowed himself to do this with Victoria when no one was looking. Or at his mother's house, when he lay down on her lap and she gently fingered his hair. In his entire racing career, only two people have ever seen him for real. They were able to break down his walls, proved that he could trust them, he could rely on them. It turned out he could love them.
"I love you both. These are not just platonic feelings, I want you both in every way. I want to be able to call you when I feel bad, I want you to call me when you feel bad. I want to hug you, lie on the couch and watch this stupid movie that Daniel loves and grumble to GP, which movie is bad. I want to be able to touch you, not just my friends. And that's just what lies on the surface."
Daniel's eyes are like saucers. He swallowed nervously and pulls his hand to his lips to start biting his nails and tearing cuticles, as always. GP and Max grab his wrist at the same time. Daniel looks at their hands and exhales shakily. He wants to say something, and it's obvious from his look that it's going to be self-flagellation, because Daniel's confidence has been waning lately. GP feels a growing rage because of this and a need to protect, he sees from Max's look that he feels the same way.
"Of course you know how to be tactful, Max." Daniel snorts and looks up. GP draws a circle on his wrist. Gently, slowly, gently. Daniel looks up and realizes that everything now depends on him.
"He's Max Verstappen. Straightforwardness is in his blood. And he gets everything he wants, right?"
"Only if you want it too?"
He wants it. Very strongly.
✨️Imagine ✨️
I need a fic where Arvid wakes up in an unfamiliar place with a wild hangover.
He walks around a huge hotel room and stumbles upon strange objects. A very expensive painting, a red panda in a cute cat basket, money scattered on the floor.
He goes into the last room and finds Daniel and Max there. Naked. In bed. Daniel sleeps on his stomach, and Max sleeps on his back and drools a little. They have THAT rings on the same finger. Arvid starts freaking out.
"Oh my God! What did we do yesterday? Get up, we need to figure this out!!! Why is it on the news that someone threw toilet paper at Zak Brown's house? Did you hear that Horner fell into horse manure? Why do I feel like you're involved in this?! You got married drunk yesterday!!! We have to be quick..."
Daniel rubbed his eyes and yawned, Max on his back buried his face deeper into Daniel's neck, hugged him tighter and sighed contentedly.
"No one will know anything if you don't tell them. Vegas and all that."
"But you got married..."
"Yes...The wedding was great. Max's eyes were shining so much, just like the sea behind his back."
"Excuse me? In Vegas...is there no sea?"
"Of course not, Muffin. There is one on the west coast of Australia. His nephews were flower boys. It was like I saw him grow up before I could put that cute ring on his finger."
Daniel is the Type of Boyfriend Who...
pairings: daniel ricciardo x reader 🍯 wc: 1.7k an: okay, i'm super nervous about this one. it feels like the first time i ever posted a joe work. this is how i see danny. i was going to start this with a bunch of disclaimers like i did with joe x british reader but you guys know i'm just a fangirl from louisiana so... last but not least i want to especially thank @vroomvroommbtch and @babygirlburrow because one, i would not have done this without you introducing me to danny, and two, your encouragement means so much to me. so thank you for that. so for better or for worse, here's the beginning. masterlist
Daniel is the kind of boyfriend who cannot let you have the bath.
Thank you to everyone who took part in the fest! I hope you had fun and that everyone will show lots of love to all the fics, which you can find here!

Through the years with Max as he tries [and fails] to not reveal his undying love for his race engineer.
K Letter by AnaMac (max/kimi, 1556, teen)
In a world where most people are born with the initial letters of how their soulmate are called/knows as in their body, Max was born with only the K letter marked on his. The thing about the soulmarks is they also have a color that only the other part of your bond can see…So he's still have a chance!
without ever touching his skin (guilty as sin) by sunflower71 (maxiel, 29356, explicit)
His mark sits pretty on his wrist, anchored and never abandoning him, always there for Max to see, to touch, to kiss and to hold. Sometimes he wishes he could also offer him that, instead of the uncertainty of his name somewhere Max can loosely trace but never check, that appears and disappears like a cloud over porcelain skin. Or: Max Verstappen has spent sixteen years loving the right person. Then his soulmate changes.
find my way back home by tiny_tysh (max/gp, 1897, teen)
Ten years. Ten years, and the thing that finally separates them is the very sport that brought them together.
Interlagos by anemptyflask (gen, 1225, mature)
Max Verstappen dies at Interlagos.
Selenicereus undatus (blooming in the night) by Foolishly_Fallen (max/gp, 4269, explicit)
He still doesn't want to get up, but his dick has yet to take the hint about how awkward the situation has suddenly become and is still hard, so he will have to resign himself to it. With a sigh he moves his blankets to the side and then pushes at GP's wing, trying to make it move so he can get up. GP doesn't move. The wing stays exactly where it is, a translucent sheet trapping Max in place. aka GP is a dragon and Max is his rider and soulmate. Sharing a mental connection gets...interesting
Tearing at the seams by Foolishly_Fallen (maxiel, 4691, teen)
Everyone knows that you are lucky if you actually manage to find your soulmate, especially if it happens early enough, giving you the rest of you life beside the most fitting companion. Soulmates though have a darker side to them, something that a lot of people forget to mention when harping about the kindness of the universe.
With blood spilling into my lungs by Foolishly_Fallen (maxiel, 10469, mature)
When it comes to love and sex and relationships the rules are a little harder, but Max knows you shouldn't fall in love with your hook up, and you shouldn't fall in love with your straight friend. The reason once again is clear: breaking the rules will break your heart. Therefore they're especially important when the two things, your straight friend and your hook up, are the same person. From all this it is very easy to deduce that Max has seriously and unequivocally fucked up.
you're scared to believe i'm the one by sanflwr (lestappen, 6247, mature, 1/3)
As his fingers grip the cold handle of his blade, his arm raised over his head, the other hand holding onto Leclerc’s shoulder, about to drive his silver blade into the tan skin—that’s when he notices an unusually familiar mark glinting at him—as if mocking him. Max swallows harshly, shaking his head; no, that is not possible. It must be a trick of the light, yes, that is it! He resumes, just wanting to be done with this now, raising his arm again—only to find his hands trembling at the action, unable to drive the blade into his target. Fuck no. No. No no no no no— His shaking hand pulls the robe apart, properly this time, coming face to face with a very peculiar but exact same mark he has on his inner thigh. Charles Leclerc is his soulmate. Or, Max is an assassin sent to kill the Ferrari heir, only to find out his target is his soulmate. Devastated by the reveal, he runs away, or at least tries to--knowing there is no refuge back home. But Charles Leclerc is not an easy prey to shake; once he finds out someone almost got to him, he wouldn't rest until he found the truth. And so begins the hunt.
Echoes by anemptyflask (lestappen, 736, teen, 1/?)
It’s hard to tell. Maybe he should have found a more conducive sport. Surely if he was not killing his back and neck and every other part of him most days of the week he would better be able to tell if his soulmate was in pain. But he feels nothing. Nothing that can't be explained away by Charles' own experience. That is, until Silverstone. --- Charles' feels his soulmates pain. It still takes longer to find him than he'd like.
Over the love of you by glossypinkpeach (lestappen, 2349, teen, 1/3)
Fairytales aren't real, and neither are soulmates, or so Max believes. Life isn't a storybook where everyone gets their happily ever after with their one true love. That doesn't mean that these red strings he sees everywhere won't do their best to prove him wrong.
Niyati by mikadonian (lestappen, 8474, teen)
Niyati (noun, Sanskrit) - The constant. The inevitable. “I think both soulmate love and normal love are special. Just in their own different ways.” Max has to believe that. For his sake, and for his soulmate’s sake. “Nothing better or worse. Love is love either way.” Or: In a world where not everyone has a soulmate, Max is born with a mark on his arm. A sign that the universe has crafted another human being for him; his perfect fit, his other half. But a soulmark doesn't guarantee a life of love. Max knows that very well.
I hear you call my name (and it feels like home) by shineon3 (maxiel, 3372, mature, 1/2)
max has had his soulmark for as long as he remembers, little letters in neat cursive tucked on the inside of his wrist. his mom said he was born with it, even if it took her a few days to notice the words on his chubby little hands. daniel is eight when he wakes up to small, unfamiliar words on the inside of his wrist. he immediately runs downstairs, excitedly shouting to catch his parent's attention, and he spends the better part of his day looking at his wrist, tracing over the small, raised line, enamored with the words. or: the happy ending is foretold, but maaaan, it sucks to get there
(colours) make me think of you by grim_reaperh (gen, 2032, teen, 1/6)
It's not planned and not expected, and maybe that's the beauty of it OR: 5 times Max accidentally got a soulmark + 1 time it was on purpose
Again, thank you so much for everyone who participated in the fest, we all need more max-centric fics in our lives <3

Written for the Written in the stars fest.
WAG Nico who is sharp with his words and WAG Daniel who always speaks with double meaning. I just know they run that paddock strictly. All Lewis and Max can do is shrug helplessly and let their spouses do what they want.
2021 season is basically PR battle through Nico and Daniel. Against each other or together against the public.
Frenemies Nico and Daniel who are the only ones that can understand the pressure of being spouses with the most talented of their generation and once going against them. But at the same time, their loyalty will first and foremost be to their husbands.
They understand why the other is doing it, but because it’s against their husbands no matter what they will not soften.
Nico beloved for his ice queen elegance and Daniel beloved for his sunshine embodiment charisma. It’s not only a battle between Lewis (reigning champion) and Max (challenger).
It’s also now between their partners on who will protect their image and help in terms of championship.
Will Nico win by helping Lewis maintain his championship title by the eight WDC or Will Daniel win by helping Max become the new champion, the first of many more to come?
i was tagged almost a month ago by @forcederror for the last thing i wrote. i haven't been writing much of anything this last month, but i did today! hooray! and it's weird! double hooray!
The human says something. Max edges back. It sits up, grimacing, clutching its healing arm to its chest and placing its other hand over its fast-beating heart. It says something again, the same thing, and Max concentrates, commits the shapes of the sounds to memory, though he does not know what they mean: ‘Thank you. Thank you.’ Then the human says something else. It sounds, to Max, like ‘Dan-yul’. It says it again, patting its chest. ‘Dan-yul. Dan-yul.’ When the meaning becomes clear, Max wants to maybe laugh. He wants to cry again. He wants to retreat into the water, to before this day ever happened, to a time past when all his world contained was his clearing, his stream, his sweet-smelling spring flowers. There have not been humans here for as long as Max has been coming. Now one is telling Max its name.
tagging you back @forcederror bc it's been a month lol. also tagging @calicogirlfriendd @mercblues @traderjoesss and @onadarklingplain if you guys have been writing and want to share <3
☆ slow down, you crazy child (take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while), chapter 3
Daniel Ricciardo/Max Verstappen, complete, 25,017 words, done for Starry Valentine <3 Recently widowed Max moves to a city in an attempt to escape the past, setting a rule to protect himself: no more falling in love. What he doesn't account for is reuniting with his childhood friend Charles, who introduces him to Daniel and Arvid, which happens to completely derail Max's plans.
Day 15: Pick a love song (or any song, feel free to shuffle or use the same as day one), use the last line.
You've got your passion, you've got your pride But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Then Daniel, with his sun-kissed skin and brown, mocha eyes, a smile that rivalled the stars and a heart that only knew how to give, crossed over to Max. He moved around the kitchen island, skirted to where Max had subconsciously stood back, as if to distance himself, as if to let the gap feel cavernous and deep, as if Daniel wouldn't be able to wade through the water and reach him.
And you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you could just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you? When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
