Summary
Charles has always been the steady one. The alpha who holds, who grounds, who knows exactly where to put his hands when Max starts to spiral.
But when a rare scent-sensitivity flare hits mid-race weekend, every omega in the paddock becomes noise. Sharp, sweet, sour, wrong. Too much, too loud, too close.
Every scent except one.
Max doesn't ask questions. He doesn't panic. He just takes Charles' hand and gets him out.
(Or: the one where the alpha falls apart and the omega holds him together.)

Summary
Charles is a rareblood omega raised behind layers of protection: family, clinics, social protocol. When his longtime omega doctor recommends a new scent-based therapy, Charles is paired with Max, a scent-specialist alpha trained in restraint and grounding, Charles expects another performance of safety. What he doesn’t expect is gentleness that feels real. A slow, sensory unlearning begins: touch that asks, scent that lingers, instincts that don’t demand. And maybe, just maybe, wanting doesn’t have to mean danger.

Summary
After a PR incident, Max is sent on a mandatory goodwill tour. He's a man of speed, with no time for vulnerability or domesticity.
He never expected to find both in the form of Charles Leclerc, a single dad who has built a perfectly guarded life for himself and his son, Luca.
But Luca, with his wide eyes and unwavering belief in Max, becomes the small crack in the dam. And Charles, with his quiet strength and sharp wit, proves to be the one person Max can't outrun.
In a world of fleeting connections, they discover what it means to truly slow down, to plant roots, and to build a life together, even if it means sacrificing everything.

Summary
A little while later, Charles whispered, "My soulmate's an amazing artist."
Max almost choked in surprise. He turned to Charles again and Charles was leaning back in his chair, squinting into the telescope, which was pointed right up above him.
"Yeah?" Max managed to say.
Charles put down the telescope and nodded. "I used to get these really nice flowers on my skin. And really beautiful, intricate patterns. I loved them. I took them as little gifts from my soulmate to me."
"That's nice," Max smiled. He hadn't imagined it would make him so happy that Charles liked his little skin drawings.
"They've stopped, though." Charles absentmindedly ran his fingers over his arm. "I don't know why. Maybe they got busy. I hope they're fine."
