Carlos Sainz had meant to send it to Lando.
That was the worst part.
He hadn’t been drunk. Or sleep-deprived. Or distracted. He’d literally stared at the contact name, even smiled a little when he saw it.
Lando 💛
Safe. Familiar. Best friend. Slam-dunk.
He adjusted the collar of the navy shirt in the mirror one last time, ran a hand through his hair, and snapped a picture.

Max Verstappen was many things.
Carlos Sainz had always thought Hogwarts was many things: magical, ancient, majestic, dramatically unsafe...but he did draw the line at murderous.
Argus Filch prided himself on three things:
Max and Carlos were never meant to fall in love; they were meant to fight, to burn, to rival. But one night, one touch, one kiss behind a paddock truck rewired their entire world. Years of secrets followed, hotel rooms, stolen moments, jealousy, fear, and everything they never said. Until hiding hurt more than losing, and love finally demanded to be seen. Now the world knows what Max and Carlos knew all along: some fires refuse to die.
Carlos Sainz prided himself on many things.
In 19th century setting, Max and Carlos fall in love young but are forced apart when Carlos breaks off their relationship to protect Max’s future. Years later, a decorated Navy Captain Max returns, believing Lord Carlos abandoned him, only to discover Carlos’s unanswered letters were stolen by Max’s father. After confronting the truth, they reunite, heal, marry and build a life together by the sea. Tropes: Second chances, "What letters?", Miscommunication, Angst with a happy endingg
Max Verstappen had discovered something deeply important about Carlos Sainz.
Max Verstappen building his life out of time increments: thirty-minute debriefs, two-hour simulator sessions, eight-minute media windows.
The problem started in the most undignified place possible.
Carlos and Max are university roommates who swear they hate each other. A very unfortunate drunk confession, overprotective jealousy and zero emotional self-control ruin their plans. They accidentally fall in love and make it everyone else’s problem. 💗
Carlos is a brilliant literature student. Max is a star hockey forward who is failing a class. Max needs tutoring. Carlos needs someone to pretend to be his fake boyfriend so his annoying ex, Matt backs off. So: Carlos tutors Max. Max fake dates Carlos. Problem solved. Right?
Carlos didn’t plan to become the paddock’s most dangerous secret chef.
Carlos Sainz had never been particularly observant when it came to subtle social cues, and that was mostly fine.
Carlos had made many questionable decisions in his life.None of them compared to bringing a three-year-old to a Formula 1 paddock.
Max Verstappen was the kind of student professors used as threats.
Max Verstappen prided himself on many things: efficiency, intimidation, and his unfortunately excellent tailoring.
Carlos had not expected much from the 2025 season.
To secure peace between their kingdoms, Prince Carlos is wed to Prince Max. What begins as a duty-bound union slowly blooms into a love neither expected, fierce, tender, and impossible to ignore. And all it takes is an assassination attempt for a love confession.
Max and Carlos accidentally get registered as married in the EU athlete system, forcing them to attend a series of absurd “couples interviews.” As they fumble through fake spouse questions, everyone around them aka friends, family, reporters insists they’re secretly in love. Trying not to look suspicious, they start acting like a real couple, only to realize the feelings have been there all along.
