Summary
In the Formula One world, every driver belongs to a tightly bonded pack, where alphas lead, betas stabilize, and omegas are nurtured, loved and protected. No omega is ever told to leave the pack room — to be cast out is to be cast out of the pack itself.
Max Verstappen learned that the hard way. At seventeen, wide-eyed and unpresented, he joined the grid eager to find his place. But instead of welcome, he was judged, dismissed, and pushed aside. The breaking point came after a heated clash with Charles Leclerc.
Tempers flared, words were thrown, and in a moment of anger, pack alpha Lewis Hamilton told Max to leave. The command couldn’t be taken back, and Max obeyed silently — never returning, never stepping near the pack room again.
And no one knew the truth. Max wasn’t an alpha. Not a beta. He was a omega, suppressing his scent, instincts, and biology just to survive.

Summary
Inspired by Family Line by Conan Gray.
Oh, all that I did to try to undo it
All of my pain and all your excuses
I was a kid but I wasn't clueless
(Someone who loves you wouldn't do this)
All of my past, I tried to erase it
But now I see, would I even change it?
Might share a face and share a last name, but
(We are not the same)Max Verstappen's coming out-of-age story highlighting Max's co-dependent and abusive relationship with Jos, complicated feelings toward his childhood, and budding feelings toward his rival/friend Charles Leclerc.
The story spans Max's childhood, teenage hood, and adulthood growing in the fast paced world of F1.

Summary
Max is the youngest driver to ever compete in F1. But also the first ever to be an Omega on the grid (At least, of the open ones. Some could've been taking blockers like him). He had it drilled into him by his father that he was a disgrace for his secondary gender, and he must hide it from everyone to not bring shame to the Verstappen name. He was told many times that all the alphas on the grid would swarm him if he ever came off those blockers. And that was what he believed would happen.
So, why the fuck is he so confused now?

Summary
After being rejected by the grid pack when he first joined Formula 1 as a teenager, Max swore never to involve himself with the other drivers — especially after presenting as an omega and being forced to hide it.
However, things are about to change this year. After all, not even Max is capable of resisting the pups, especially when they all start chasing after him.
Set during the 2025 season.
