    Summary

    Alfred’s love is pressed shirts and warm food. And his love is a gleaming knife, too.

    He would bleed for his boys. He would make others bleed for them.

    And so he does.

    (Or: the Joker must die, and Alfred Pennyworth is not a man who waits on others to do his work.)

    “Batsy won’t like this,” the Joker says, a last resort, eyes glimmering and insane. “You feel like tussling with ol’ Batman, King Alfred?”

    “I don’t answer to the Batman,” Alfred tells him, voice solid as stone. “The Batman answers to me.”

    And he pulls the trigger.

    i miss the person i was 40 minutes ago before i was mentally and emotionally broken by this fic. the only thing im happy about is the fact that there isnt a charles pov of this bcs it wouldve actually broken me even more. not ur typical amnesia fic, and it hurts. it just hurts man. its so fucking depressing, im not even one of the characters yet every chapter it feels like im the one being victimized. i dont think i can properly express enough how reading this would destroy you in ways that you havent experienced before. author keep ur fucking windows open.

    Summary

    “Max,” Charles calls out politely, surprise evident in his voice. “It’s nice to see you.”

    And it is, nice to see him. Charles remembers when Max was a skinny little kid. Even in his first years of F1, he was on the leaner side. And then he filled out a few years later, growing into his awkward face and limbs. Charles had seen it all on television, but in person, the change is even more noticeable.

    When did Max become attractive? Charles thinks, and almost immediately regrets it.

    -

    Charles runs a small coffee shop in Monaco. Max shows up unexpectedly one day, and surprisingly, Charles finds it easy to reconnect with an old friend.

    Summary

    Juliette Sophie Pascale Verstappen-Leclerc crashes into the life of a 23-year-old Charles Leclerc with the grace of a locked-up Haas.

    He’s stuck in the midst of one of the roughest seasons he’s had with Ferrari, who can’t seem to figure out their own issues, much less support their drivers. Sebastian’s departure still hurts, and as if to add insult to injury, he has no idea how to deal with his new teammate.

    The last thing Charles needs in this tumultuous period is the appearance of a precocious and headstrong girl who claims to be his daughter — a daughter he shares with Max Verstappen, no less.

    As Charles struggles to help Juliette return to her own time while balancing his career and frankly depressing personal life, he can’t help but wonder if the life that Juliette insists he has in the future — a happy, fulfilled existence spent with those he loves most — is truly possible.

    Summary

    Charles was fifteen when his dæmon settled.

    It was a perfectly average age to settle, and it happened so quietly and naturally that neither he nor Moira even noticed at first. They had other things to think about: today, they were aiming to beat out Ben Barnicoat and Max Verstappen at Val d’Argenton.

    It wasn’t until they were getting into the kart that they realised. Moira normally transformed into an insect to race, something small enough that she could crawl inside Charles’s race suit and be protected as he drove. Today, she didn’t even try to change; they both just looked at each other, and knew.

    “A mouse,” he said.
