He looks like he might close the space between us. He looks like he wants to. My brain supplies a dozen sane exits. My body refuses every one. He looks as if he might kiss me. So I do something- exactly the kind of crazy I'm proud of but later I regret. I bite him right on the shoulder. He's in a tank, and my teeth definitely sink in. "What the hell?" he jerks back with a sharp laugh, stumbling slightly. "Did you just bite me?" "I panicked!" I defend, a little too quickly. "You don't have to mark me when I'm already yours, Swan." he says. Excuse me? "What!?" I blink, nearly tripping over my own foot. "What did you just say?" He shrugs, all cool and composed, "I'm already yours." he repeats, like it's nothing. Like it's not the verbal equivalent of a punch to the stomach and a kiss to the soul. My jaw drops. "Are you- are you okay?" "Perfectly," he says, then taps his shoulder. "Just sore though." ✧𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.✧ ✩Amara Fontaine, a 24 year old ballerina.

In Formula 1, nothing is ever just luck. Ella Stevens knows this better than anyone. As a race engineer for Lando Norris under McLaren, she lives in numbers, timing windows, and split-second decisions that make or break races. When a bold call in Melbourne hands McLaren a win, the paddock calls it luck. Max Verstappen doesn't. He calls it reckless. They've crossed paths more times than either of them can count-sharp words, sharper silences, and a mutual refusal to back down. They both think the other is too cocky. It's the only thing they agree on. And somehow, after every race, they end up in the same place, at the same time, arguing over things neither of them is willing to let go of. In a sport built on precision, control, and strategy, they are anything but. And the more they clash, the harder it becomes to ignore one thing: Max definitely looks like Sid the Sloth Side notes: 1. Not to be confused with McLaren's F1 Academy driver Ella Stevens (I randomly came up with the name and then decided to Google it for funsies after I wrote it and discovered her, so NO relation at all) 2. To be set in the 2025 Formula 1 season. 3. Race wins, or pole positions, will NOT be changed in this AU. 4. No smut because I can't write and I don't want to do it with real life people.
