Summary
Max squeezed his eyes shut, the disappointment, the dislike that shone in his father’s blue eyes, a mirror of his own, made him want to bare his neck submissively and beg for forgiveness. His father wouldn’t like that. Max might not have presented yet, but he knew anything less than presenting as an alpha would be unacceptable.

Summary
Sometimes, the cold lighting of the meeting rooms in Milton Keynes would catch just so on the string around Max's finger and he’d do a doubletake at its colour. Under the fluorescents, it looked faded, as if someone had siphoned out some of its vibrancy.
He wished he could photograph it, so that he could compare how it changed day by day. Prove to himself that he wasn’t imagining things. That he really was dying.

Summary
When Max Verstappen shows up to the Silverstone paddock on a Friday in early July sporting cat ears and a tail, Charles Leclerc promptly loses his mind.
But with handsy drivers, nosy journalists, and unhappy competitors lurking, the problems pile up fast. And worse for Max, a tail isn't the only thing he's grown.

BREAKING NEWS: Crash halts Miami Grand Prix as race is red-flagged
At 184 miles per hour, Max Verstappen's car hits the barrier and his world goes dark. The crash report later records a peak of 380G—higher than any documented survivable incident in motorsport history, and higher than anyone should be able to walk away from.
While the FIA asks questions and the media chases headlines, Charles Leclerc occupies a plastic chair in a hospital waiting room that he refuses to leave. He and Max were never supposed to be anything more than rivals who fell into bed together, but as the hours stretch into days and Max remains unconscious, Charles is forced to confront what he's been avoiding for a year: this stopped being casual a long time ago, and the only question left is whether Max will wake up to hear him admit it.
(Or: The crash heard around the world.)
