chapter 4 of will o‘ the wisps was posted a little earlier because ya girl just realized she hit post chapter instead of edit chapter…oopsi. happy sunday i guess🤧🤓

#because ao3 keeps fucking up my formatting to all hell and i constantly have to go back and edit it 😭 #if anyone ever notices any mistakes or weird formatting pls lemme know so i can fix it 🥹🩵 #will o the wisps

[autumnapricot]

okay i need to write this here because you may think i’m crazy on ao3, but theory time because you said this is a scavenge hunt and i love fics that have me guessing a little and yours has me guessing alot!😶

okay. this is maybe delulu. but in the summary, it says charles is an officer gone off duty…so, police? then in chapter 3 it says that he has a file on max, so that „confirms“ my police officer theory. BUT. off duty?? means he is no longer an officer or? and why is he not? and then why does he have a file? and what does seb have to do with it? are they doing illegal stuff with files….and who is seb to charles like what does he do? is he a shady mafia boss!!?! and what secrets does max have!!! that charles and seb want to know about maybe/ probably? and also i can‘t shake the feeling that u‘re being mean to us and playing us in chapter 3 because of the „charles is kind“ thing from max. but then again he really is so sweet and careful with max😭 which i love so much! and i love the small things you described as max noticing but then againnnn maybe that is the deceiving part? and charles himself literally said that he doesnt think he‘s a kind person..is that supposed to be like..he‘s trying to be a good person but he knows he‘s not for whatever he‘s doing to max with seb

I HAVE QUESTIONS

hello dear anon🥰 (sorry for the belated response)

oh wow, you went digging digging! i love that!! :) there are quite some easter eggs hidden in there

i‘m never know what‘s a spoiler and what not so for anyone who may wants none at all, i‘ll put it under the cut

charles is indeed a police officer though yes, off duty.

why he is off duty and why he has max‘s file nevertheless will be explained in chapter 5/6. chapter 6 specifically is entirely charles centric so we will get to know all about it, also seb makes his appearance in chapter 5! aaalso seb works for the police too ;)

oh i love the way you interpreted that scene! that‘s fairly interesting!! 🤓 i think it will also be revealed why charles feels that way in chapter 6 :)

thank you for reading and your thoughts, i love all of them!

I love all your fics. *trying to be casual* a really really normal amount When I saw the tags of your new fic 'Omega Max' before reading it (after reading it, The first 3 chapters, I am fairly abnormal but okay.) I thought of that Max moment "I feel like a frog" "Really sexy of you Verstappen" (Paraphrased)

hi!

aw, thank you so so much!! ah i love that you remembered that from that fic hahah🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

i hope you will enjoy the rest will o the wisps! ☺️

merciiiii🩵🩵

hey! will we get another update tomorrow on will o the wisps? i‘m excited already where this will go🤗

also do you have any fave chapters for the fic?

hello anon!

thank you for your ask :) yes there will be chapter 3 out tmr!

oh! good question! i really, really love chapter 6 (which contains charles‘ backstory), chapter 7 has one of my ultimate fave scenes of the fic & chapter 10 is also a fairly interesting one that i‘m already scared of posting, but like either way lol.

<3

oh, i forgot to mention daniel and lewis too! they‘re also a bit more of a bigger part in late chapters!

ur fic is sooo good already omfg u have me so hooked on it and im so excited to see what you have planned. Just wanted to ask how old max and charles are and what other drivers might possibly show up?👀👀

hi anon!

thank you! 🥰

mmm their age is a good question because i‘ve pondering about it (&it is touched vaguely next chapter) but they are about 25-26, so as old as they are now in reality. i was debating making them younger perhaps about one or two years to fit the timeline of their backstories but it fits like this too.

other drivers that will show up in later/upcoming chapters are lando, kimi, we will also see a little of alex, carlos and george. also, toto, lol.

thanks for your ask! ❣️

hi, im back here again because i find commenting on ao3 terrifying, sorry 😭

anyway, will o' the wisps is so good, i adore it so much already.

charles saying he doesnt feel good about this, whatever this may be, in the conversation with seb at the end and this:

>>„Don‘t do this.“ Charles hisses and pleads all the same. „You can‘t do this. Please. Max trusted me.“

being in the intro gives a deliciously bad feeling about what is going to happen and max seeing himself for the first time and the first thought that comes to him being that its not himself hes looking at was heartbreaking and charles with the translator app was so funny.

im having so much fun reading this!!!! also im sorry for my messy ask dudhsjsjsjsj, but thank u for sharing <33

hi!!

you‘re always welcome to come here, no problem! 🩷

awe thank you so much! i‘m so happy to see you back and liking the progress so far!

*laughs like mr. beans* hmmm yeahh. we will see what charles and seb are cooking. love that you described it as a ‚deliciously bad feeling‘ lmao it‘s kind of kind what i was going for … heh.

and yes, poor max… :(

charles‘ translator app idea was genius lbr, but max was thoroughly unimpressed lmao.

thank you so much again!! 🥰🩵

Congratualtion on being my fave writer already. Thank u for this amazing story . Can u put more chapters this week . Think about it at least please.

how sweet of you, thank you so much! ☺️

i can/will not for the simple reason (as i explained in the ask before this) that i‘m currently still working on the chapters 11 upwards and i want to keep myself a security so i don‘t leave anyone hanging on with later chapters should i not be able to finish them on time! :)

thanks for your ask! ❣️

#and i‘m a horrible writer under pressure so i want to spare you all the mercy of butchering or rushing the story haha #asks #will o the wisps

[autumnapricot]

Hey live ,i screamed when u say its a finished work . Why wait for a new chapter a whole week its tortuuuure plz nooo

hey! :)

hahah omg, sorry 🥹

it‘s mostly a security for myself tho! as i noted i‘m now working on the last few chapters (currently 11/12) and although i do have all the plot points mapped out, i tend to be a little bit of a wonky writer as in, some days i‘ll write 10k in one day, and then nothing at all for days or even weeks to come. and i very much don‘t want to leave anyone hanging by on undisputed time later on in case i don‘t finish it as planned! (because as an avid reader myself, that‘s heartbreak at it’s finest baby lol)

but if i do, i may speed up the updates in case you guys would like :)

thanks for your ask🩵

#asks #will o the wisps #also i do sometimes still go back and change some things in the earlier (yet unposted!) chapters to fit properly so #never in the already posted chapters though! (unless it’s mistakes oops)

[autumnapricot]

Explain more , what is charles and seb planing ?

hey anon!

i am a little mean perhaps and leaving you in the dark about that on purpose…things will be explained in later chapters! :)

thank you for tagging along!

[autumnapricot]

I screamed for the new chapter thank u so much, btw is max right about charles pretending to be nice? I didnt understand him and seb conversation

thank YOU babe! :)

….well, it is meant to be a little „misleading“ for the moment‘s being, but things (such as seb’s and charles’ convo) will be explained in later chapters! for now it‘s a mystery to figure out what our dear charles is planning :)

thank you for your ask! 🩵

Charles Leclerc/Max Verstappen

>>„Don‘t do this.“ Charles hisses and pleads all the same. „You can‘t do this. Please. Max trusted me.“

Seb cocks his head.

„Yes,“ he slowly says, quiet but haunting. „And that was the plan, Charles.“<<

[OR: Max Verstappen is an Omega in a world where his designation is seen as nothing but an item to be possessed, an object to be bought and used as pleased.

Charles Leclerc is an officer gone off duty, taking on the task of housing an Omega whose trust in good things is shattered, and whose secrets go deeper than anticipated.

Charles never expects things to go as far down south as they do.]

#this baby of mine is now finally online! woooow! #this has truly been a little bit of my heart project for the past months now #and i am fairly aware that there are quite a few (absolutely incredible!!!) fics in the lestappen tag with similar premises #(alpha takes in omega etc) but. i swear the ground plot (especially later chapters) has been floating around my brain for years now #and january 24 i sat down and just wrote it down chapter after chapter…and now here we are? wild gurl!! because i never finish long wips…oo #either way. the charles and max of this are my babies. i love them. i hold them dearly. i think about them everyday. #alsooo this pic will make sense after chapter 6! hihi #will o the wisps #a.a. writing
