When Charles gets an offer to go on Survivor for a second time, he expects to have a fun month off, make some good memories and hopefully win a million dollars.
He doesn't expect to meet the love of his life.
HELLO 2025‼️ here is my race offering/fic for this season (special for @wolfiemcwolferson 😘), i hope y'all enjoy it🩷
Mr. Charles Leclerc has been in love with his best friend, Mr. Pierre Gasly, for as long as he has been on this Earth.
There is only one problem - Pierre is an alpha and Charles is decidedly a beta... until he presents as an omega unexpectedly one day, leaving their friendship compromised and forcing a betrothal.
-
Or: how Charles' destiny changes, nudging him towards Pierre.
y'all mentioned sunflowers being charles' fav flower on anna's bday fic and now that will be my headcanon forever, so have this little ficlet in return 💖💖 i hope u like itttt
"i brought you flowers." "for what?" "there has to be a reason?"
It all starts with a stupid interview - one of those TikTok things for the F1 page, asking unconventional interview questions.
“What’s your favorite flower?”
“Huh.” Charles had looked deep in thought, brows furrowed and lips pursed. Utterly adorable, like always. The backdrop of the bright pink flowers in the Singapore paddock made his green eyes pop. “Sunflowers, I think.”
And it made Pierre pause because -
Even after so many years, he doesn’t know everything about Charles. This silly video that Ilies had sent him with many laughing emojis - mostly because it also contains a diss at Pierre’s football skills - has revealed a truth about his boyfriend he never knew and, most importantly, that he never even bothered to ask. A twinge of guilt twists a way in his stomach because Charles deserves the best - he deserves someone that cares about what his favorite flower is and someone who won’t give him generic flower bouquets.
That’s why he ends up at Charles’ doorstep in Monaco carrying a sunflower bouquet he can barely fit in his arms, when he most definitely should be in Milan preparing to train with Ben. Pierre might have gotten a little carried away, he’ll admit.
“Hello?” Charles asks over the intercom after Pierre rings the doorbell, a little confused. Maybe he should’ve texted ahead, Pierre thinks.
Pierre puts on his deepest voice as he answers. “Special delivery for Charles Leclerc.”
He doesn’t expect that to work, but Charles buzzes him in so Pierre rides the elevator up to his apartment. A wave of doubt washes over Pierre, but he trudges ahead and knocks on Charles’ apartment door. “Delivery!” he repeats in that deep voice.
When the door flies open, Pierre hears Charles gasp of surprise and he just about melts into the floor in a pile of goo. He loves him - he loves him so much. “Oh my god, Pierre.”
“Hi, calamar.” He tries to poke his head out from between the stems, but he’s mostly unsuccessful. “I brought you flowers.”
“For what? Shouldn’t you be in Milan right now?” His words are formatted like a reprimand, but his tone is more emotional than anything.
“Does there have to be a reason? Can’t I just be a good boyfriend?”
Can’t it just be because I love you and you deserve good things?
Pierre thinks that but he doesn’t say it because this thing between them is still fairly new and raw and growing - they haven’t said I love you as a couple yet but Pierre can reel it in and wait, because he wants to give this time and he has known Charles is the big love of his life since he was about thirteen, so he’s not worried. He hopes that for now the sunflowers will be enough to communicate to Charles how he feels - I love you, I care about you, you’re my sun.
“You are the best boyfriend,” Charles answers, a little choked up. “It’s beautiful, thank you Pear. Now come in and set the flowers down so I can kiss you stupid, yeah?”
“Nothing would make me happier.” Charles giggles at Pierre’s words and grabs his wrist to lead him inside, sending sparks flying up his arm. When he finally manages to set the flowers down on the table, Charles kisses him and walks them backwards into his bedroom.
“Sunflowers are my favorite, you know?” Charles muses after, in a post orgasm haze. Charles has a hand splayed across Pierre’s chest and his head tucked in his boyfriend’s neck, content and relaxed.
“I know.”
Charles doesn’t give a verbal answer, he just lifts his head and squints at Pierre. When Pierre chuckles guiltily, knowing he has probably clocked on to him listening to the interview, Charles just lets his head fall and cuddles back into Pierre with a quiet hum.
Pierre and Charles have somehow lost their way. Between World Championships and an impending retirement, their once solid marriage feels wobbly.
Feat: meddling George, competitive tomfoolery, and alphabet dating all over the world.
HELLO EVERYONE! WELCOME TO THE 2024 SEASON! 💖 @duquesademiel @wolfiemcwolferson and I have made this wonderful fic and will be updating it before every race, so we hope you join us for this ride 🫶🏽
hi, yes, i come for more crumbs of the famous/famous au you're working on with jully???????? i don't know yet what to gush about but !!!!!!!! tease us and tell us a little bit more, pls
HI CAN DARLING I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED🩷 @your-littlesecret wifey dearest pls chime in if i'm forgetting anything
basically these are the roles of our guys in this plot. imagine the band as somewhere between maneskin and fall out boy and charles' persona as somewhere between eics sabrina carpenter, red era taylor swift and noah kahan (weird combo but there is a vision)
the lore is that the pascales run a music school together so piarles have been besties since they were kids and fell in love with music at the same time. they pick up the other band members along the way (for example: yuki moves to france from japan as a kid and since he's acting out, his parents send him to drum classes so he can have a hobby. yuki LOVES it and that's how he meets piarles) (also charles was originally in the band but leaves dramatically when they're like. middle schoolers bc he wants to play piano) and they end up getting signed to the same label - so they have a lot of the same schedules and have 'sister fandoms' basically
piarles fic starts when charles breaks up with a terrible bf and pierre writes him a song (figure you out by voila) which ends up prompting charles to write another song and it's whole ordeal. things escalate quickly and since pierre is already protective of charles since the break up, he ends up breaking sainz's nose at one point for flirting (sainz is in a rival band). everything is very very Dramatic
they live in nyc for a bit and it's all fun and chaos. there's a happy ending of course bc it's jully and i writing it
as for the spin offs, they basically each follow a common trope: galex - exes to lovers, oscarthur - strangers to loves + love at first sight, franco/ollie - one night stand gone wrong + enemies to lovers
YES FRANCO GETS HIS OWN SPIN OFF. he sleeps with the hot british bartender ollie at the piarles wedding and leaves in the morning, which is definitely a problem when the label assigns to manage said bartender's best friend and up-and-coming artist kimi antonelli. chaos ensues of course
hello my darling wife could i ask for you to write me a ‘absentmindedly playing with their hair all the time’ for our beloved piarles?? 💕💕💕 (and you know… if you would be so inclined… to perhaps make it… a certain… rockstar au???… 👀👀👀)(i love you)
hello my darling love💖 i cannot believe this is the first piece of actual writing that exists within this au bc it feels like it's 5 novels long. i love u and thank u for making this up with me 💖💖 i hope u like my little drabbleeee
to everyone else: if u want to know more about the Deep Lore of the rockstar au and its five million spin offs, feel free to dm me and i'll send u a 20 min voice note
absentmindedly playing with their hair at all times
Charles really likes Pierre’s hair. Above everything, he really likes touching Pierre’s hair. He even liked touching it when it was burnt to a crisp after the Disaster with the boxed bleach they attempted to use in tenth grade, which is a feat in Charles’ favor.
This isn’t really a problem when Pierre is about to go on stage - his rockstar persona requires a little disheveledness and his bandmates don’t bat an eye at Charles’ gentle touches because they’re used to it. They’ve suffered it for long enough, even when Charles and Pierre weren’t together yet. One time way back then, at an after party, Yuki had tried to make up a drinking game with every time Charles touched Pierre’s hair - he’d ended up puking out of the window of their taxi. Nowadays, only the venue staff are occasionally surprised at seeing Charles, a successful singer in his own right, absentmindedly petting Pierre’s hair as if he was a dog.
It does become a problem however when Pierre is supposed to give a class at their mothers’ music school, because he can’t resist when his maman asks for a favor, and he needs to look somewhat… put together.
“Cha, c’mon,” Pierre says when Charles walks into the kitchen while he’s having breakfast and ruffles his hair wildly. “I’m supposed to give that presentation today.”
Charles hums happily and turns on the kettle to make his tea. “And? The kids think you’re cool because you’re a rockstar, not because your hair is tidy. Besides -” He looks at the clock they have mounted on the wall, massive and gold and gaudy. It was a joke gift that they got from Fernando after their brief stint in New York, so they’ve kept it up for the memories. “- Aren’t you already late?”
Pierre looks at the time and grimaces. “A little bit.”
“Well, your mother won’t be surprised,” he teases, a smirk appearing on his lips. Charles is wearing his most oversized pajamas and a hoodie with Pierre’s band’s name on it - he looks cozy enough that Pierre wishes he could ditch the class and stay here to cuddle, but he won’t. He promised his maman he’d helped out and he’s a man of his word.
“You’re mean,” he shoots back. Charles, in return, jumps up on the barstool next to Pierre and spins him around to kiss him. Pierre lets himself get lost in the kiss the way he always does, because kissing Charles is his favorite thing in the world, but when they part for air he realizes what Charles’ master plan really was: to run his fingers through Pierre’s hair and leave it even messier than before.
Charles grins and leans back in to drop a kiss on his cheek. “You just have nice hair, Pear.”
“Anyway -” Pierre rolls his eyes and Charles’ resounding giggle sends a flash of warmth through him. “Do you have to be at the studio today?”
“Yeah, I have to record that one rock-ier song and Lewis offered to help with instrumentals.”
“So you’ll be stealing my guitarist?”
Now it’s Charles’ turn to roll his eyes. “Won’t you be teaching children all day? You won’t mind.”
“Fair.” He takes the last sip of his coffee and shoots up. “Now I’ll be very late, so I should get going. See you tonight, baby.”
Charles kisses him sweetly and runs a hand through his hair one last time. “Good luck, calamar, I love you.”
“I love you too, even if you keep messing up my hair.”

Frustrating as always, Sebastian escapes description – but the smile on Lance’s face is quite certain, and there’s something about it that draws him in. It’s definitely less sinister than Sebastian’s, but there are facets to it that he wants to discover.
(Or: As he negotiates with Aston Martin, Fernando finds a friend – or something else.)
here's my exchange present for @chilegp, i hope you like it babeee🥰💖🫶🏽 ilyyy
In the F1 influencer community, there is one rivalry that stands above the rest: Pierre Gasly vs. Charles Leclerc.
Over the years, Charles has established that he very much does not like Pierre – but when he loses a bet and has to go on a date with him, everything spirals out of control.
HELLOOOOO!!!! @your-littlesecret and i made a chaotic enemies to lovers (based on a true story😅🫶🏽) and we hope you enjoy ittt💖💖💖
