Prince of death is so well written! I havenât had a fic captivate me like this one in a while. I saw your end note and Iâd be so down to be someone you can bounce ideas with. I donât have the âbiggestâ presence on tumblr but Iâm so down to talk if you need help with ideas or anything with the story!
Hi Anon, Thanks so much for reaching out! I am in definite need of an idea sounding board with this work due to its complex universe and multi-level plot. It's getting much deeper than I thought it would get when I started, but that just makes it more fun. Feel free to send me a DM â€ïž
Okay, first of all, I'm so excited for this character reveal after last week's cliff hanger! George is the absolute PERFECT swap out for the source character Zarbon and I've provided examples to that fact below. I mean.... even the face is basically the same. If someone put George in a cape I would die đ Manifesting George Russell villain era.
The man he'd run into smoothly turned around, cocking his head slightly, staring down at him with pursed lips of irritation.Â
The tall, firm man had medium-length fluffy brown hair pushed back from his forehead, high cheekbones and an immaculate complexion. A thin string of pearls adorned his forehead like a crown, with a purple glittering jewel hanging down from the middle.Â
He was wearing a similar battle suit to the one the prince and Carlos wore, except the bottom of his suit ended as briefs. The rest of the leg was covered in a tight matching navy material from just above the knee down to the ankle, leaving the top of his thighs exposed.
His top half was sleeveless, with thin light purple arm coverings that stopped at the wrist and didnât attach to the shoulders of the body suit, instead snuggly clinging to his muscled arms.
âYou didn't know?â Alonso set his water down, now suddenly very serious. âMaxâŠI smelled it on him that first day in the med bay. You mean to tell me, you had no idea what he was when you asked Carlos to bring him here?â
âWhat?â Max rushed out, completely bewildered. âYou knew this thenâand didn't tell me? How dare you keep this from me!â
âDon't raise your voice at me boy.â Alonso quipped back, dragging his large palm down his face exasperated. âI can't really be surprised you and Carlos didn't figure it out. You both were so young when we came here and never properly courted on Toro.â
Max was barely listening, mind racing as he processed Alonsoâs revelation. The realization that Charles was not only different, but also held a profound significance within their lost society, filled him with a newfound sense of reverence and protectiveness.
Idk if u know, but max actually knows how to box and he still boxes sometimes especially as a workout and the great thing about that is that he looks unbelievably hot while doing it. So now please imagine charles having to come with max to his workout because he cant be trusted to be by himself rn, seeing how max boxes and then getting fucked right there on the floor
oh I DO know, and how I know is because @saiyanwitcher graced me with THIS.
even though I doubt I'll be able to make it work for wygig, she's determined to have something like that happen in her fic prince of death.
There wasn't any indication Max was romantically involved with Charles and he just needed to take a step back and breathe. The helpful idiot could really just be trying to serve Prince Max as a nursemaid and nothing more.Â
But try as he might to put his suspicions aside, Carlos continued to grumble bitterly, frustration simmering beneath the surface.Â
âShouldâve left the tailless freak where I found him,â he fumed, finishing his work in silence.
I've gotten a few questions about what the ki manipulation looks like, so I've gathered a few examples from my beloved source universe â€ïž Hopefully this will help with the description of the tournament fight in this chapter.
Example of what the end of Charles and Lewis' tournament fight would have looked like!
So Charles cant hang out with Pierre who did not fuck but Max can hang out with lando, whom he penetrated???
(that's a lie, I laughed out loud at penetrated lmao)
but also this is kind of funny when you think about it. because Max thinks Pierre and Charles have had sex (or at least suspects/worries), even though he knows Charles had never been knotted before his heat and Charles told him he was his first alpha. but Pierre and Charles have definitely not had sex in the past.
whereas Charles is blissfully unaware of the fact that Max was regularly fucking Lando to get through his ruts and also just for funsies.
The next few days for Max were a gift from the goddess who he'd thought abandoned him long ago.Â
He'd received a notification on his scouter that he was relieved of all duties for the next week. Josâ pitiful form of apology he supposed and instead, he'd spent all day every day with Charles in his room talking.Â
They talked about everything: food, fights, strategies, anything to fill the silence, but most importantly, anything to keep him in bed. Charles was insistent that he rest and recover, even going so far as to bring him all of his meals and help him back and forth to the bathroom, and Max to his own surprise allowed the assistance.
Setting up at his usual station, Max took a quick glance around the gym, searching for any sign of Charles' presence. Spotting him across the room, he knew the timing had to be just right, that he needed to wait for the perfect moment to don the hoodie and make his move.
Charles was distracted on a phone call and so far hadnât noticed his arrival. Max seized the opportunity to slip on the statement piece.
With nervous shaking hands, he pulled the fabric over his head, the familiar prancing horse emblem stretching across his chest. God, who wouldâve thought they'd see the day Max Verstappen put on a Ferrari hoodie.
Yes, I did use the Medical Kit design from Starfield đ
There will be considerable time spent in Max's Private quarters and I thought a picture would help for imagining the space!
'Maxâs private quarters weren't anything special. The room was long and skinny, with the cut-out bed area to the right when you walked in the door and a metal desk with some storage places to the left. An ensuite finished the space at the far side away from the door. The metal was darker than other areas of the ship, more of a gunmetal gray, and recessed lighting over the bed and along grooves in the floor lit the space in a softer glow than the halls and main cabin room where Charlesâ cot and the other Torossiansâ bunks sat.'
'As he looked through the odd colored and shaped packages in the crate, Charles opened a green one with a cross inside a glowing hexagon on it and smiled when it appeared to be what he was looking for. '
Are charles and max inspired by some especific characters in the dragon ball universe?
Oh absolutely! The idea for this fic came from my long time obsession with Dragon Ball Z, my new found passion for Formula 1, and the parallels between some of the character backstories with the drivers I've chosen to replace them with that just couldn't be ignored.
Providing some examples of the iconic healing tanks from the source universe.
âCan someone please tell me what that thing is? Whatâs it for?â Charles was apprehensively looking at the alien capsule. âWill it really help that much?â He asked, fixing his gaze on him while he moved to sit on the side of the table. Max looked down and noticed his broken wrist was already in place.Â
âThatâs a healing tank,â he said and tilted his head to the side in the direction of the whirring machine. It's a stem-cell nanite bath that helps heal injuries faster than natural regeneration.
A misdirected text message intended for his boyfriend Daniel lands in the hands of Max's father. Daniel is there to pick up the pieces and make everything better.
