Max in a corset is an idea of all time

Maybe for some reason or another Omega!Max has to for a sponser event or an FIA gala because of how traditionalist the sport it. But the rest of the grid has never seen him dressed up like that before because he usually prioritizes his comfort (his IRL fashion sense is redbull merch and the same three pairs of jeans). The rest of the grid either goes feral or completely blank when faced with max in a corset like their brain just does not compute. And poor max meanwhile is just like “why is everyone staring at me. Do I look wierd?”

oh this is a brilliant take on it - yes I can totally see the whole FIA set up being inline with a traditional omegaverse set up. Totally random ideas but -

Max has always avoided being a debutante because he doesn't like any fuss. Except there is a very clear rule in the guidelines that state that before a champion can be crown they must have been introduced into Fia society so Max goes along with it so he can collect his trophy.

He finds he kind of likes the way he looks in a corset. He's definitely not going to be swapping his jeans and t-shirts for it but as a one off he feels almost pretty, even if the idea of him looking good makes him blush.

He steps out as part of the Fia ball along with a lot of other younger omegas (seen as its customary to be presented in the season you turn 18 - Max just never did). Max feels self conscious being older and broader and not like the other omegas he is being presented with.

All the grid alphas almost lose their mind because Max looks... well you can imagine Max in a corset! They all try and avoid him for fear they are going to say something inappropriate or try and make a move but Max thinks they are avoiding him because he looks awful and they are embarrassed for him. He keeps trying to cover himself up and feels stupid for ever thinking he might look good.

Someone sees he is upset and lets slip that nobody is asking Max to dance because they are all afraid of Charles!

Oooh I completely see yours and anons vision in a traditional omega universe. It’s definitely something like Bridgerton with meddling family matchmaking the stubborn idiots in love maybe with more formal courting rules. Both because they want to see them happy but also very much the racing driver pedigree on both sides! But yes Jos suddenly being nice to you what a terrifying prospect Christ.

Now thinking of historical debutante lestappen and remembering the brief obsession this blog had with vintage/silver screen lestappen- they just work in every universe. Just soulmate things 💕

Oh they definitely work in every single universe 🥰 I think I still have an obsession with the vintage silver screen Lestappen world.

But wow anon the idea of a debutante ball and Lestappen would be truly perfect within the structure of a traditional omegaverse hierarchy. Either within the racing world or even with Charles as the prince of Monaco or something.

Can you imagine them trying to get Max ready to be presentable when he debuts. There are so may available alphas and they want to make sure he catches the eye of a good one but Max is not elegant like a lot of omegas, he likes to wear jeans and hoodies not uncomfortable dresses. He also slouches when he should be stood upright and has no idea about dinner etiquette. He says what he thinks and doesn't like to be looked down on because he is omega. He is basically the complete opposite of all the other omegas debuting - which coincidentally is why Charles falls for him almost immediately 😍
