Summary
“I didn’t think I’d ever see you again,” Max said honestly, his voice losing the teasing tone it had a moment ago “I’m glad that wasn’t true.”
“Why?” Charles asked, scoffing slightly at the notion “So you can keep on making fun of me?”
Max stopped for a few moments, before shaking his head slightly, “No.”
Charles just stared at him, unsure of what to say to that, before he rolled his eyes and settled on, “Just because I’m a son of Aphrodite, doesn’t mean I can’t still beat you.”
“Yeah?” Max chuckled, “You think you can bring down a son of Ares?”
"I know I can."

Charles is tasked to go on one last quest before he leaves Camp-Halfbood forever, a quest so important it could change life as they know it. Unfortunately for him, the one person who seems to match his skill in all the ways that matter is also the same person who has gotten under his skin since he was 7 years old. How will he be able to spend the summer so close to Max's side without losing his mind?

Summary
Charles opens the door in his work out shorts and giant hoodie, half of his hair smooshed to the side of his head while the other sticks straight up. He's frantically trying to smooth it with one hand as he swings the door wide with the other, but gets distracted by Max standing there, red-cheeked and trying to pretend he isn’t panting.
The cloud of rainpancakesearthsyrup floods into his apartment, making Charles blink dazedly. It’s so fucking good. He can’t help but gasp a bit, surprised.
Max takes a final deep, almost heaving breath and shoots his arm out straight in front of him, a dark blue hoodie clenched in his fist. “Here.”
Charles doesn’t reach for it. He eyes Max, the sheen of sweat along his hairline, the fit of his relatively but not egregiously skinny jeans.
“Did you—did you run here?”
Max grimaces a little, then shrugs. “Brought this for you.”
*
Charles has spent the last 28 years highly sensitive to smell, usually to the detriment of his own well-being. So what if Max’s presence—and scent—have always helped with that?
So what if this is the year Max finally notices?

Summary
Max and Charles have been racing wheel to wheel for as long as either can remember. They’re no strangers to dealing with the inevitable fallout from their on-track battles getting a little too heated. That is, until they’re forced to confront the uncomfortable truth that too many years of sleeping with your rival might just lead to developing unwanted feelings.
Lestappen rivals with benefits, loosely inspired by Heated Rivalry.

Summary
“I don’t want to focus on me. You’re a winner, baby. It suits you.”
“Yes, well,” Charles preens. “I am very pleased.”
“Good. You should be. I love you, you are incredible.”
