summary: in which charles leclerc has had enough of ferrari's shity strategies and horrible moves on him. behind the scenes he signs a contract that'll change his career for the better. they say he did something bad, but if it's so bad then why does it feel so good?

masterlist next

charles wasn’t sure what his breaking point had been with ferrari. maybe it had been the monaco grand prix or maybe it was the shitty strategies from his team. all he knew was that at some point he had grown sick and tired of it. those around him had noticed it too, his brothers being the firsts to notice. the passion he held for ferrari just wasn’t there, and if he was honest, he didn’t know who he was without being a ferrari driver. the next person to notice was teagan, when had entered his drivers room after particularly difficult race, which seemed like the norm for him now, and basically ripped himself out of his suit and fireproofs. she had looked at him with genuine curiosity before bringing up a subject charles never thought she would.

“checo’s retiring at the end of the year,” she softly said, as charles pulled on his red polo. his movements froze, “what?”

“checo’s retiring.”

“non, i heard you,” charles answered, “why would you tell me this?”

“if you want, the red bull seat is yours. daniel’s content with returning to alpha tauri at the moment. liam doesn’t have nearly enough experience and dad doesn’t think yuki’s ready yet. if you want it, it’s yours.”

“i’m with ferrari until after 2024, i can’t just leave, which i don’t want to.”

teagan sat up, running a hand through her blonde hair, “can you just be fucking selfish for once? just this once, please. we both know this isn’t what you want anymore. you’re sick of the shitty strategies and playing second fiddle to carlos. you’re wasting your talent here.”

“don’t bring sebastian up,” he warned. sebastian had been a difficult subject for them to talk about since his retirement. charles had looked up to the older driver and felt like he was to blame for the end of seb’s time at ferrari. he wasn’t but charles was nothing if not a martyr.

“i didn’t bring him up, you did. the seat’s yours, the opportunity for it wasn’t going to be there until 2025 but you should- just think about it. regardless of where you are, we both know your dad and jules will be proud of you.”

“don’t- do not go there.”

the blonde girl stood up, and walked to the door, “just- just don’t have any regrets.”

"how did it go?" checo questioned as the blonde girl walked into red bull hospitality. she frowned, "exactly how max predicted, he's a masochist."

"ferrari is his dream," her dad spoke up, "he feels like he's letting everyone down by not bringing the championship home to maranello."

"it's not about others, he's letting himself down, that's the problem. it's not about his dad, jules, or the tifosi," daniel pointed out, "he's il predestinato, he's the one who was supposed to bring the championship back to them. he was supposed to be the next sebastian vettel. those are some pretty fucking big shoes to fill."

max appeared, his arms crossed as he stood by the doorway, "he can still be il predestinato with red bull. sebastian was a red bull driver before he was with ferrari, he can still be the next sebastian vettel."

teagan laughed, "max, you are the next sebastian vettel."

"i'm max verstappen, not the next sebastian vettel."

"that's not what the internet thinks," daniel replied. max made a face at that and daniel couldn't help but laugh at his expression.

"well, we better figure something out and quick, the season will end before we know it." christian told them, "summer break is a couple of weeks away."

"he needs to talk to sebastian," checo told them. they turned to look at the mexican confused as to what he meant, "no one understands better than seb the position charles is in. and he looks up to him, he'll listen to him."

"sebastian is going to be at suzuka," christian said, "get him to talk to sebastian."

"i'm on it," teagan said, determination evident in her voice.

SUZUKA 2023

AUSTIN 2023

teagen horner created a new chat

teagan horner added 5 people to the chat

max verstappen why does he look like an angry cat in that picture?

daniel ricciardo doesn't he always look like a cat?

teagan horner no, he looks like lightning mcqueen.

max verstappen not for long or so we hope

sebastian vettel i believe the agreement was to create a groupchat when charles had been 'rescued'?

teagan horner it was but i saw charles walk into my dad's office. the anticipation is killing me. did it work? did we do it?

max verstappen after that shitshow by ferrari that not only cause him to lose his chance at a podium but also got him disqualified, i don't see why he wouldn't want to leave.

teagan horner dad! dad! dad! padre! father in a bunch of other languages i don’t speak!

daniel ricciardo you speak spanish? teagan horner i’ve learned a few cuss words from checo and nando sergio perez i haven’t taught you anything! teagan horner i’ve heard puta madre, vete a la verga, pinche madre, and worse come from you.

christian horner fucking shit a guy can’t sign a contract without you people blowing his phone up

daniel ricciardo WE FUCKING DID IT!

sebastian vettel this makes me wonder, would you people be this invested in getting charles away from ferrari if he weren’t dating teagan?

max verstappen he’s my emotional support rival, of course i would sergio perez what is it the young people say? game recognizes game? teagan horner he’s a talented driver and ferrari is massively fucking up, the answer is yes. christian horner i’ve been wanting him on the team since 2020, he just didn’t want to leave ferrari. something about the great sebastian vettel being on the team with him sebastian vettel shut up he didn't say that christian horner no, but being on the same team as you was one of the reasons. he also said he didn't feel confident in being able to get along with max. sebastian vettel now that i believe

daniel ricciardo added one person

daniel ricciardo CHARLES! WELCOME TO THE BEST FAMILY ON THE GRID

pierre gasly WHAT? WHAT IS HAPPENING? SOMEONE EXPLAIN!

alex albon HE'S FREE FROM THEIR CLUTCHES?! OH THANK YOU SEBASTIAN!

liam lawson i'm so confused

yuki tsunoda same

christian horner YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO SAY ANYTHING!

daniel ricciardo oops. teagan horner he's not remotely sorry about it. he's currently giggling and kicking his feet. max verstappen i can confirm

charles leclerc thanks? but how did you all find out so fast?

sergio perez christian told us

mark webber oh my god i thought sebastian was joking.

pierre gasly CHARLES MARC HERVÉ PERCEVAL LECLERC TELL ME YOU DIDN'T SIGN WITH RED BULL WITHOUT TELLING ME FIRST?!

max verstappen that's such a long fucking name charles leclerc i didn't sign with red bull without telling you first. charles leclerc i terminated my contract with ferrari for the next year without telling you first. i'm about to sign with red bull, there's your warning.

max verstappen why did i just hear alex shout war is over?

alex albon MY MAN IS FREE FROM FERRARI! THIS IS CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION!!!

charles leclerc i was under the impression that alex and pierre no longer got along with red bull. clearly i was wrong.

pierre gasly i'm happy where i'm at and max is a difficult teammate to beat. if i would've stayed in red bull i probably would've quit f1 at the end of the season. alex albon williams may not have the best car but i'm happy where i'm at. there's no better feeling than dragging that tractor into the points. daniel ricciardo we're one big family here at redbull charles. nothing is as it seems to the media.

mark webber i've tried getting away from them but every damn time they keep adding me.

liam lawson i'm here for a good time not a long time.

christian horner liam.

liam lawson i apologize, i am back to being a reserve. i had fun while it lasted.

teagan horner the only one not here is daniil, he was being an asshole to max so we kicked him out. he is forbidden from ever being added back. and carlos, but he left by choice once he joined ferrari

sergio perez congrats on making the move charles! you'll love it here, people actually listen to you.

yuki tsunoda i'm sure it's quite the upgrade from ferrari

charles leclerc you've all been waiting for this haven't you?

teagan horner i had no more forza ferrari's left in me after yesterday. alex albon since 2021 christian horner since 2020 sebastian vettel 100% pierre gasly since 2021 daniel ricciardo since i found out you were going to be with ferrari in 2019. i know it was the dream but i'd seen what it had been doing to seb and kimi, kinda didn't want that for you max verstappen i refuse to answer that question

charles leclerc all i got from that max likes me

MEXICO 2023

george russell are we going to talk about the elephant in the room?

carlos sainz what is there to talk about? charles is leaving and he told no one

charles leclerc was i supposed to? i’m not sorry about the choices i made carlos. if you were in my position you would’ve done the same.

carlos sainz i wouldn’t. there’s this thing called loyalty, i’m sure you and oscar know nothing about that matter

oscar piastri what the hell? how am i involved in this?

esteban ocon we get that you’re hurt carlos but that’s no reason to attack oscar like that.

lando norris what the fuck carlos?

logan sargeant realistically isn’t red bull a good career move for charles? if he wants to be wdc, like most of us do, red bull is the place to do it.

carlos sainz he’s only going to be second driver to verstappen, just like checo. he’s bound to be second place.

max verstappen oh, i’m sorry, i didn’t know you sat in on red bull meetings. i’m first driver right now because i’ve been on the team longer than checo, the car was built for me. charles joining the team means we’ll have 2 first drivers, the team dynamic is going to change, get your head out of your ass sainz. you know nothing about the team.

oscar piastri if nobody’s going to come for my head again, can i ask why charles and not daniel? we were all under the assumption that daniel would take the seat and liam would join alpha tauri.

sergio perez because i suggested charles after talking to daniel.

daniel ricciardo because christian’s had his eye on charles since 2020 and i'm quite happy at alpha tauri.

lewis hamilton well congrats to charles for making the move

george russell how much did it hurt to say that lewis?

lewis hamilton i don’t want to talk about it.

max verstappen and congrats to carlos for finally becoming ferrari’s 1st driver. let’s hope they don’t treat you like 2nd driver now that you’ve been promoted. ferrari has a tendency of doing that.

alex albon

¡leclerc-s speaks! christian horner and redbull admin are completely to blame for my delusion and this entire fic, also that one tiktok edit i saw of redbull charles. alternatively, i was bitter about austin and this idea came to be but christian horner isn't helping my delusion.

¡disclaimer! this is in no way making assumptions about the people involved in this story, this is all fake. it is a fanfiction please don't take any of what is said seriously. this is all for entertainment purposes and as a creative outlet for me. enjoy!

nicknames lando calls his girl?🥹

oooh i think the ones he uses the most are babe/baby but also has his wee cheesy moments where he's like "my pretty girl" or "my favourite girl"

would anyone be interested on a fast and furious x lee know from stray kids fic??

i'm thinking of an oc that is han's younger sister (which is also into racing) and perhaps mixed lee know? he could be half japanese half korean, (i feel that he has some japanese features). idk after all it's a fic.

what do you think?

“Because he didn’t know where he would go in the world. Because he didn’t even know what he wanted to do with the rest of his year, let alone his whole life. Because Steve Harrington had no fucking clue in the world what he wanted to do. Because every moment he had felt alive in the last few years was when he was fighting to stay alive and every moment beyond that was just spent…existing.”

I have never felt so identified with a paragraph until I read the one above.

[REQUESTS OPEN—inspired by chateau by djo] 

[20.8k] or, when the pretty girl in the treehouse makes steve realise what it’s like to be loved. (smut included)

.

Steve Harrington was totally okay. 

Or at least, he wanted people to assume he was okay. 

Because if he was okay, then the others would be too. The others would have hope that things would get better, that life moves on and that the world won’t always be so bleak and wretched because Steve Harrington is okay. And if he is okay, then they can be okay too. 

He needed to be okay because Dustin and Erica were young and impressionable. They had seen things no kid their age should have seen, or been put in a position where they were risking their lives to help him and Robin escape the grasps of an evil Russian corporation. He needed to be strong for them, so that they knew if they weren’t okay, he would be the shoulder they could lean on. 

He needed to be okay for Robin because she was new to this. Less than two weeks ago she barely believed in the air conditioning unit that supposedly worked in the Scoops Ahoy staff room and then she had the shit show of Hawkins’ deepest secrets thrusted upon her in the worst ways possible. He needed to stay resilient to show her that it gets easier to deal with, that he had dealt with it the last two years and he was absolutely fine. 

He needed to be okay for Max because no one should go through the pain of grief at such a young age. She watched that monster take over her brother and use him as a pawn. She watched him fight back and set himself free from its reins. And then she watched him be ripped apart, limb by limb so she and her friends could have a chance of surviving that cursed night. He needed to be present so she knew that not everyone in her life was gone, that even if he could never fill the hole Billy left, he can sure as hell be at her side whilst she patched it up.

He needed to be okay for the kids because they had been split up when they needed to stick together. He knew Joyce had her reasons for moving, and he respected them. Hell, he thought what she was doing was so damn brave, to leave the one place she only ever knew for the sake of giving her children a safe place to grow up. But he knew it broke the kids’ hearts to be torn away from each other, to be so unsure of the future they had together. He needed to be committed so they knew he wasn’t going anywhere, because god he knew how much it sucked when the person you needed was never around. 

Steve Harrington needed to be okay, even if he really, really wasn’t.
