Summary
Max has seen The Crown on Netflix okay? He knows that royals are meant to be aloof, held back from the public, a little bit distant, a lot untouchable if it means keeping them alive and safe and in one piece.
But Charles is nothing like that and it’s making his job ten times more difficult.
Or,
Charles Leclerc is a Prince of Monaco. Max is assigned to be his bodyguard. Somehow, it shouldn’t work, but eventually it does.
The Prince/Bodyguard AU that absolutely nobody asked for.

Summary
There’s someone standing in his kitchen.
He looks young, maybe close to Max’s age, with messy dark brown hair that’s pulled back from his face by a red bandana, and he’s leaning against the kitchen counter like he’s supposed to be here.
Max’s first rather unhelpful thought is; fuck, he’s gorgeous. His second, more reasonable thought is;
“Who the fuck are you?”
“Charles Leclerc,” the man smiles. It's a little bit dazzling and Max is not at all distracted by it. He extends his hand for Max to shake. “I’m your new executive sous chef.”
Or: Max is very happy with his life, thank you very much. He has his restaurant, his team, and two Michelin stars at the age of 24. He definitely does not need some pretentious Monegasque chef coming in and throwing everything into chaos.
Except, maybe he does.

Summary
The Australian desert is the kind of place that teaches people how small they are.
For Max, it is supposed to be another assignment. Another rig. Another stretch of endless shifts beneath a brutal sky. He tells himself he can survive anything if he works hard enough. If he is useful enough. If he keeps moving.
But exhaustion has a way of becoming something else when nobody is looking.
The heat is relentless. The work never stops. The days blur together until Max can no longer tell where the job ends and he begins. And somewhere between skipped meals, sleepless nights, and the endless machinery of the rig, loneliness starts to feel like a physical thing.
Unfortunately, Daniel keeps noticing.
He keeps appearing in the quiet spaces between shifts, with bad coffee, stubborn concern, and questions Max doesn't know how to answer. Questions nobody has ever asked for long enough to hear the truth.
Beneath steel towers, impossible stars, and the vast Australian sky, two very tired men begin orbiting each other while Max discovers that wanting to be seen might be far more frightening than being alone.

Summary
The first thing Lewis thought when he saw the kid was, fuck, he’s fast. It didn’t matter though, because he was fighting Nico for the championship and Max was in Toro Rosso fighting for points, but then Lewis blinked and Nico was gone. Nico had won, waved a smug smile and a title in Lewis' face and dissapeared off the grid, leaving him with a teammate who was young, hungry, desperate, in their silver car wearing their white suit sporting their Mercedes logo as a last fuck you to Lewis. There, you lost, and you lost me too.
Or, Max goes to Mercedes for 2017

Summary
Oscar has two major skills: advanced magic theory and catastrophic life choices. Maybe a minor in anxiety-fuelled internal dialogue. To keep his family afloat, and finally use his magic degree for *something*, he signs up with El Plaan: an adventurer's guild in a neighbouring city.
He’s picturing low-risk jobs, maybe the occasional polite fireball. Instead, the guild teams him up Max: lethal, terrifyingly competent, weaponised broodiness, and inexplicably invested in keeping one frazzled mage alive.
or: the one where Oscar thought he was just doing jobs for the money but ends up finding something more instead. Oh and tries not to die in the process.
