Anyone who knows me knows that I love making people cardiophiles, so here's a compiled list of my cardiophile AUs (some more formed than others) with links to all of the content.
Jenson cardiophilia au - brawn get a stethoscope sponsorship and it's a dream come true for jenson, making his relationship with Shov even stronger. (Shovson)
Haasbands cardiophilia au (created in collaboration with @watercolor-hearts ) - Nico is a cardiophile who tries to keep his kink hidden from Kevin, but it proves difficult when Kevin offers to help keep an eye on his blood pressure.
V's cardiophile Lando au @watercolor-hearts has an au where lando is a cardiophile, I created a spinoff where franco gets involved in workouts to get closer to Lando. (Norapinto and Lando/Jon)
Nurse Max au - Maximilian Günther is a nurse who has to navigate cardiophilia at work. His partner James often pretends to be ill so that he can be treated by Max, as he thinks Max looks hot in his blue scrubs.
Formula e medical au - wider universe around the nurse max au. Paramedic andre is a cardiophile, which leans well into being able to indulge in Jev's kink. Most drivers are nurses, doctors, firefighters, even police officers...
Cardiophile André - this is more that andré is canonically a cardiophile to me in every universe. Jev is pretty sure he murders people, but he thinks that's hot.
Rosquez cardiophilia au - the doctor obviously likes to use his stethoscopes, especially when seeing how turned on Marc gets with some breath play thrown in.
Vampire jeandré au - jev and andré are vampires, they go out hunting and instead of finding their next meal, they find someone that is suspiciously okay with being turned, which is a good thing since andre would be sad to not see his face again. (Jeandré/Sam)
Simi cardiophilia au - seb is a cardiophile, and kimi loves how it manifests in the domestic moments.
Mitchex cardiophilia au - Mitch is comforted by Alex's heart, and he loves how effort and strain are shown so physically on Alex's body.
(I had to take the accents out of the tags with André's name so the links would work)
Did some digging through the GP2 (Now Formula 2) official Instagram account. All that scrolling through 7 years of posts was absolutely worth-it.
BTW: does anyone know if there's a way to sort through Instagram without literally scrolling down for 8 hours? My phone was literally on the verge of combustion
This universe was created with @watercolor-hearts after our discussions about Nurse Max and him navigating being a Cardiophile at work, but then Jev and André as paramedics came along and soon it was a whole universe.
Read the background info and character description below 👇
André is the experienced paramedic who has a reputation of someone who is definitely skilled at his job but the origin of some of his skills are a bit shady. Most people don't want to know. He shouldn't be trusted to drive the ambulance, he can get the patients there quickly but whether they get there safely is up for interpretation. At least that's what everyone else thinks. He might take risks but he's an incredibly skilled driver. He regularly gets himself into some trouble outside of work that Jev, James and Max need to bail him out of eventually (more about them below). He is definitely fucking his colleague Jev the recently qualified paramedic, after Fio introduced them. And they're definitely exploring André's darker kinks together (including cardiophilia). He's definitely also involved with Sam, and Max's partner, James.
Jev is grumpy and survives off coffee. He enjoys driving the ambulance (on the very rare occasion that André lets him because André hates being a passenger) but is slightly less enthusiastic about treating patients because half of them mess him around and he's not paid enough to deal with their bullshit. He cares about his patients and loves it, but he doesn't stand for bullshit. Is fucking André but also physiotherapist Sam and his wife. doctor Fio.
Fio is the headstrong and independent doctor who doesn't care for people who waste her time. All she wants is the best for her patients and she won't let anyone get in her way. She become unlikely friends with André. Fio invites him to meet her boyfriend Jev when he is training to be a paramedic. Other staff joke that André is stealing her boyfriend but she knows that's not true because they share him. She cares a lot about Max because she notices he's struggling with some issues at work and offers support to help him.
André and Jev have had some flings with James, a British racing driver that André treated in secret before he was qualified when they were both living in Japan. James' anchor partner is Maximilian, a German nurse. He's the pretty boy of the hospital that constantly has female patients after him. He's socially awkward and anxious but he loves his job. He's a cardiophile (which causes some awkwardness at work of him not wanting people to know, but Fio can tell something's up). He mostly loves James' heart. This works well for James who fantasises about Maximilian in his scrubs. He's so smitten that he'd do anything to have Max take care of him in that uniform.
Sam is the physiotherapist. He's powered by coffee so he's usually jittery. He can get quite annoyed at his coworkers if they take the teasing about his height too far, but he's always sweet with the child patients who absolutely love him. He seems to make friends really easily even if he's not always liked by everyone at first. At first he hates André's guts but they end up getting on well when they meet up more regularly through Jev, quickly turning into something more.
Jake Hughes is an EMT that sometimes works alongside Jev and André on cases. He becomes a friend of Sam's when Sam picks Jev and André up after a case. He quickly gets close to Sam, he doesn't realise that he's starting to get a bit too close...
Robin is a junior doctor who is known for always being tired. No matter what time of day it is he looks about two seconds from falling asleep. Despite this, he's very caring and loves his job. He's loved by all of the geriatric patients because he reminds them of their grandchildren because he looks so young and cuddly. Because of this, he's constantly assigned the dementia patients because he's one of the only ones who can calm them down.
Nick is an anesthesiologist. He's more interested in wrapping up in a blanket and doing a crossword, as long as his patients are stable. Jake Dennis the orthopaedic surgeon is annoyed by this (also annoyed when people call him an Ortho Bro) but Nick always points out he's doing his job and he's never neglected a patient.
Nyck is a play specialist who is loved by all the children. He loves to help them get through their experiences, and he puts them at ease with his cute smile. He develops a bit of a crush on Jev but he's afraid to show it.
The hospital works closely with the coast guard on some cases, so António becomes well known to the paramedics and EMTs. He's introduced to Sam by Jev one day and then Sam tries to set him up (successfully) with Robin.
Daniel Abt is an EMT. Patients have a crush on him and he can't blame them because he has perfect hair. But everyone else likes him because whenever he's in the hospital Lucas is nicer and more tolerable. Usually when he's in the hospital he's hanging around plastic surgery, which means regular run ins with Lucas.
Lucas is the entitled surgeon who thinks he's better than absolutely everyone. He treats everyone like crap, apart from Daniel. Somehow they end up together, but Lucas doesn't take it seriously because he's "not gay." He keeps a professional demeanor with Daniel at work because he can't accept that he's not straight and doesn't want people saying something about it. It doesn't stop André talking about it though.
Sébastien is an entitled patient who thinks that he is better than everyone and deserves 100% attention all the time, so when he doesn't get what he wants he make the workers lives hell. He's the second receptionist in the police department, a big contrast to Alex (again, more on him below).
Dan is another entitled patient who thinks that the care is getting isn't good enough so he's constantly phoning the ambulance to get back into the hospital. Jev and André are sick of his shit and try to refuse to pick him up.
Sacha is the probie firefighter who is teased by the rest of the crew for looking far too young to be in his job. He's also very very sweet so people don't always see him as a firefighter, but he enjoys proving his worth. Oliver takes Sacha under his wing as soon as Sacha starts, to make sure he gets the best training. Oliver has been in the force for many years, he's incredibly committed and he's very protective. He follows the rulebook but also knows when to take a calculated risk. and he takes pride in all his team, especially seasoned firefighter Stoffel who is deceptively strong and very good at carrying people, probably because he's fueled entirely by the stash of waffles he has in the break room.
Mitch is a friend of Sam and Nick who is a police officer in the local police department. He regularly attends calls with the paramedics and EMTs, becoming an acquaintance of Jev and eventually a very close friend of Sam. Mitch is constantly flirted with on the job, and it's run him into a bit of trouble when he plays along a bit too well. It's not his fault if people have a thing for his handcuffs.
However, he mainly has a thing for the receptionist of the police department, Alex (known as the "nice one", in contrast to Sébastien). He tries his best to slip past Alex's desk as much as he can to look at Alex's face. Mitch is usually confident but Alex's beauty makes it difficult to even speak a sentence coherently. He starts with some light flirting which then graduates to properly chatting him up. Alex tries to focus on his job every time but he's absolutely smitten with Mitch. Naturally Alex is overjoyed when Mitch eventually asks him for a date. Alex would do it himself but he wants Mitch to feel like he's in control. That is until they get to the bedroom...

I wrote this ages ago, at the end of the 2024 season, but since it's Alex's birthday I thought I'd revisit it and post it. So this is actually my first attempt at writing Earlex that I never posted.
Thanks to @jessmac566 for reading the first draft and persuading me to post!
Summary under the cut:
Five places behind Earl in the championship? That had to hurt Alex more than he was letting on, even if his teammate happened to be one of his boyfriends.
Mitch comes to comfort Alex at the conclusion of the 2024 WEC championship. He can tell there's more to how Alex feels. All he wants is for Alex to forget about it for a bit
