A collection of various fic rec prompts. From your local recovering Lestappen Fanfic Addict.

I will update this periodically! Feel free to send me fic rec requests, but please be aware I only fulfill them occasionally.

Please note:

There will be repeat fics across the lists.

I rec a lot of Explicit rated fics.

I tend to read more bottom Charles, so the recs skew more towards that dynamic. I do, however; have bottom Max fics included!

hope you find something you like 💌

you mean to tell me that rpf has breached containment so far that the ferrari social media team is out here making the drivers read rpf?!

NO NO NO

the number one rule of rpf is only where the real people will not see it. the ethicality of rpf relies on it being distanced from the people being written about in the stories.

you are not to talk about rpf in spaces that are not explicitly for fandom interactions. twitter, threads, bluesky, instagram, tiktok, youtube are all social media platforms used by celebrities to handle their public image and interact with fans. a space where a celebrity interacts with fans is not a fandom space. a fandom space is where fans interact with other fans isolated from the celebrities and media they are talking about. tumblr is a fandom space. archive of our own is a space designated for written works of fandom. we, as fans, can create and interact with rpf in these spaces because celebrities are not expected to exist in these spaces so there is a expectation of distance from the real people who are being written about in rpf.

I know that I am partially talking to people who understand this. however, fandom constantly draws in new participants who do not inherently understand how these spaces work and not explaining it leads to new participants not learning fandom etiquette. people can’t operate with an etiquette they were never taught. (if you want to learn more about rpf etiquette in a calmer, kinder manner, please reach out to me and I will gladly hold a friendly conversation without the tension of a targeted post)

rpf is silly and fun but it requires a higher level of responsibility than other forms of fandom because we cannot let it exist in the same space as the real people in the stories. it is not silly and fun to force real people to be aware of or interact with instances of them or people they know personally being written about (commonly in a sexual manner) without their consent.

please have fun with fandom! but please keep it out of public spaces.

Simi is honestly the best duo in F1 because you have this quiet finnish man who stares off into the distance and dissociates 24/7 and doesn't talk to anyone, who's literally known as the Iceman instantly become friends with this chaotic, sunshine, always yapping, bee freak german man. And they go so well together. Like the only times you actually see Kimi smile in his F1 days are when he's around Seb. He calls Seb "Sebi". They've never argued and always talk when they have a problem on track. Kimi went back to Ferrari just to be teammates with Seb. They constantly praise one another. They're the F1 duo and probably the best rpf ship ever. No one compares to Simi.

Hi Nina! I just want to wish you a happy new year. May this 2026 be filled with love, happiness and lots of blessings for you and those you love.

I wish to thank you for all the fics you selflessly write for us, and for every single time you have answered to my asks. I really love your blog and, as other anons wisely said, it's a safe place for expressing our ideas with you and it's also the highlight of my day ✨

I read on some of your last posts that you also like Simi, so I would like to recommend you three of my favorites! ( I don't know if you have read them but oh well) It's not much, but please think about it as a little thank you for everything that you've given us.

Have a lovely new year! 🎉🎊✨

1) Brocedes are getting married and they have invited Seb to the wedding, but his ex will be there so he asks Kimi to pretend to be his boyfriend. This is one of the best Simi fics ever made!!!

2) This one is incomplete but it's top tier. Fem Seb is terrible at math, but befriends delinquent Kimi who's really good at it.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/53360542

3) This is part of a series. Alpha Kimi meets young Omega Seb in a rally in Sweden, when Seb gets a sudden heat. They end up falling in love.

Hi @vanevafu 🎆

Happy New Year to you as well!! 🥳🥂✨

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such kind words, I'm so happy that we have a little platform to post, share thoughts, and yap about our favorite chaotic duo 🥰

And thank you so, so much for thinking of me! I absolutely love Simi and @vanevafu you are a mindreader because these are three of my absolute favorite Simi fics ever 🥹💓 the Simi high school AU by backmarker lives in my head rent free and !!! the Simi A/B/O series is *chef's kiss* 💖💖💖

One day I'll write a Simi fic (probably set during the Lotus era because goddd Lotus!Kimi was just so fucking hot 🥵) but until then, I'm so grateful for all these lovely works 😊

The Ferrari interviewer who brought up Brocedes fanfic is so messed up.

That's using a fic writer's beloved, handcrafted story as a punchline for Lewis' real-life trauma without anyone's consent just for clicks.

Keep fandom in fandom spaces!!

[eta-piscium]

SOS Im looking for a Lestappen fic where they grow up going to their summer vacation homes and the story is told out of chronological order. The final scene was them as four year olds passing by. Bicycles were an important part of the story!!

okay ishman what the hell WHAT IN THE MOVIE POSTER IS THIS

Recommend me your favorite F1 fanfictions, please

:) say no more

i wasn't sure how to go about this but i thought i'd just list up the fics that immediately come to mind without me having to check my bookmarks, in no particular order, and give you a lil bit of a commentary (mostly unuseful but you did ask for my favorites heh)

time and time again by Anney (sebastian/charles) you know how sometimes you need to help a little plant along with a stick to have them grow in the right direction? this is that but sebchal

Death and Other Lies by finifugue (mainly lando/oscar) FOUND FAMILY HOLY BIBLE AND CHARLANDO FRIENDSHIP DYNAMICS PROGENITOR TO ALL THE CHARLANDO FRIENDSHIP DYNAMICS IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE !!!!!!!! as you can see i am normal about this fic

a very good dog by raregoose (charles/lando) this fic is everything to me. everything.

fourth finger by linearity (charles/max) i mean it when i say i don't go here. lestappen never much moved me in any particular way. but sometimes people will come out with the most heartbreaking, sweet, sad, incredible story about something happening and then nothing ever being the same, ever. and to be able to write something so human, so raw and real in the midst of magic realism. absolutely insane level. you can't go back, so eyes open.

terraforming by debrief and Event Horizon by finifugue (lando/oscar) these two go together in my head because sometimes a life-altering fic will come your way and it's always a goddamn space au

postcards from places that miss you by streetlightsky (sebastian/charles) this fic to me is advertised as the heal your tifosi heart with sebchal kit

eat them alive by linearity (max/oscar) broke my heart but yeah

family matters by agustofwind (mainly max/george, but lando/oscar and lance/nando are there too) heist aus are great. heist aus with so many literature and art references, a dash of found family and an evil italian man to kill are INCREDIBLE.

on the faultline by limabima (lewis/nico) holy brocedes bible

no harsher than the bark by 140445 (charles/oscar) i don't go here but when and if i do, i dine at the finest restaurants only

Tough to be Tender by lealu (max/george) i waited for this fic to update chapter by chapter and it felt like holding my breath every step of the way. i was unaware i could cry THIS much about a fan fiction. this one is very, very close and dear to me. it's max and george writing brocedes fics and falling in love via email while being unaware that they also work together irl. this one will teach you about grief, and about love, and everything in-between.

four espressos (and a lifetime) by makeamends (charles/max) me myself i love a f1 driver/non f1 driver dynamic. this one has SO much italian commentary in it made me laugh loads, and feel very close to home even when i'm so far away :] a very good read

honorable mentions for three landoscar fics that are still ongoing but live rent free in my head and have never left. like, they're just stuck there permanently. i will be re-reading these stories into the grave. it is that serious.

October Birds by WanderingBlindly heartwrenching experience

zero cycle by agustofwind so this fic found me on youtube looking up 30 minutes tutorials on how to zero cycle in a minecraft speedrun. i have no idea what a minecraft is but lando and oscar fall in love on discord and it's everything. everything.

By Conquest's Right by amilyame this story is my literal roman empire

[gottalovef1drama]

This is my Roman Empire: Max looking Charles up and down. He’s ridiculously shameless about it and I love it.

max "yaoilover33" verstappen ignoring the interviewer calling out his name twice...they're too embarrassing 🫩

[frenchfrysimp]

sometimes i think about nico rosberg stripping all the paint from his race helmet to reduce as much weight as possible.

nico rosberg intently studying his racing gloves and socks and cutting off every unnecessary bit and piece to make his race starts flawless.

nico rosberg hiring a harvard sleep psychologist to ensure he doesn't waste time being jet lagged because of constantly shifting timezones.

nico rosberg going for runs at any time required even if it was 3am or 4am to ensure his body clock adjusted to the timezone of the country he would be flying to several days in advance before the race.

nico rosberg sleeping in a different bed from his wife and not talking to his family for months because he would devote every waking second to his training.

nico rosberg giving up cycling, an immensely important form of cardio, so he could lose leg mass to save him 0.03 seconds of time and winning one of the most critical races of his career by those 0.03 seconds.

nico rosberg locking himself inside a hotel room to force himself to push harder after he lost the championship to his teammate three times in a row.

how he was once just a young boy who wanted to make it in f1. how he was supposed to be the chosen one because his father was a world champion so he was inevitably expected to make it to and succeed in f1. how he ended up being teammates with one of the best drivers who has ever raced in the sport. how they grew up constantly competing with each other, as teammates, but also as best friends.

how growing up, all the people around them and their karting bosses would always say lewis was the faster driver.

what that would have done to a little boy.

sometimes i think about nico rosberg being unable to eat anything but kelloggs frosties, his favourite cereal that he shared with his childhood best friend and rival a week leading up to his last race in f1, and the last battle they would ever have together.

nico rosberg immediately retiring once he finally won.

nico rosberg's first championship also being his final one.

how even after their worst fallouts nico told the interviewers lewis would always be his best friend. how when the interviewers told nico that lewis had said they weren't friends he refused to believe lewis had said that. how nico's heart dropped when lewis called valterri his favourite teammate. but what about me?

what it takes to get an f1 world championship, but also what the f1 world championship takes away from you.
