A Talk
Persephone is uncertain about the future, and finds a friend in an unlikely place.
Timeline: Post-Stormblood
Rating: G
Wordcount: 714 Words
Verse: Written in the Stars (Unsundered Azem AU)
My dearest Hades,
I don’t know what to make of this ‘ambassador’ from Garlemald. He claims that their Emperor is interested in peace, but having met the man before, I feel skeptical.
Gosetsu has returned to us, though with a former enemy in tow. I’ve written about her before, Yotsuyu, but she has no memory of any of the things she did — or that were done to her, for that matter. I’m torn, Hades. Should she be made to suffer when she can’t remember why? Slain for crimes she doesn’t know she committed? Should she be allowed to live when she is the reason so many of these Domans’ loved ones no longer do? While it’s not my decision to make, you know me. I never could stay out of these kinds of affairs.
I—
“You seem sad.”
Persephone jolted on the cushion she’d spirited away to a quiet corner, barely managing to avoid blotting the page with the pen she held. She looked up and saw the pale skin and raven hair of the very woman she’d been writing about; far from the icy glare she remembered from Doma castle, Tsuyu’s eyes were wide and childlike, as if she’d never suffered the horrors Persephone had seen for herself in the woman’s past.
“What was that?” Persephone cleared her throat, attempting to look a little more dignified, brushing her auburn hair back out of her face and almost marking her face with the pen in the process.
“You seem sad when you write in that book,” Tsuyu clarified. “What is it?” Persephone looked down at her book, sunset eyes softening in fondness.
“Ah. It’s meant to be a journal, but I’ve been using it to write letters to someone I care deeply for.” Persephone slipped the cushion out from under her, setting it next to her and patting it in invitation. Tsuyu sat, curious eyes looking at the leather bound tome that Persephone tried to close casually, unwilling to share these private thoughts with anyone. Well. With any but one.
“Are they family?” she asked. Persephone ran her hand along the cover.
“Sort of,” she said with a chuckle. “He’s my husband.” Tsuyu’s eyes widened.
“I didn’t know you were married!”
“Yes, well. He’s missing, and, until I find him, it can be…difficult to talk about.”
“What happened?” The question brought back unwelcome flashes of Amaurot burning and buildings crumbling and so many people calling out for help, more than she could ever reach by herself… But she knew Tsuyu didn’t mean it maliciously, so she swallowed the lump in her throat.
“Something terrible happened to my homeland,” Persephone began. “We lost many people and we didn’t agree on how to make things right. And in the chaos, we were separated. I haven’t seen him since. I don’t even know where to look.” She started as Tsuyu grabbed her hands suddenly, clutching tightly as she met Persephone’s melancholy gaze.
“You’ll find him!” she insisted, with a brightness that made Persephone realize the darkness she’d been slipping towards. “You’re brave and strong; if anyone can do it, it’s you! Gosetsu’s told me stories…” Persephone smiled as the woman, looking years younger than in that crumbling castle, went on about what she heard about the ‘Warrior of Light’s exploits, some true and some clearly embellished by her samurai friend.
Before long, Persephone had tucked her journal away and Tsuyu had fetched a plate with really far too many dango to be good for them. Persephone told slightly modified tales of her exploits as Azem, and Tsuyu drank in every word, excitedly reacting with joy or fear or concern as the stories called for.
“Persephone, your life is so exciting!” she exclaimed after a mouthful of the sweet treats.
“Seph.”
“Huh?”
“You can call me Seph,” Persephone reached for another skewer. “It’s what my friends call me.”
“Are we…friends?” Tsuyu seemed to shrink a little, as if the sudden invitation had somewhat frightened her back into her shell.
“If you want to be,” Persephone gave her a smile around her mouthful of food, caring little for how silly she would look, and Tsuyu relaxed again.
Not my decision to make, no, but I never was good at minding my own business. Wouldn’t you agree, Hades?

Do you have some sebchal recs? I try to look on ao3 but I barely find any, so I imagine most of their fics are more old
Hello! ❤️
Interestingly, I find myself having the opposite problem. I feel like the fandom - and, by extension, the interest in Seb/Charles as a ship - has grown exponentially since 2020. I think there's like forty pages of published works on ao3 right now. Which might not seem like a lot, especially when compared to other juggernaut ships or fandoms, but considering the fact that there were maybe 3 when I first looked up the tag... 😳 Anyway, over time I've kind of figured out what I like and what I don't like in relation to the ship, so these days I tend to be more selective and pick through to find what really speaks to me, what really knocks my socks off, if that makes sense. 😂 We all have different tastes, both as readers and authors, so different people will gravitate toward different things. Not everything scratches the itch, basically. TL;DR: it really depends on what you're looking for and what you like. 👀
That being said, here are some of the fics that made an impression/that I find myself coming back to:
Canon/Canon Adjacent (aka still set somewhere in the realm of F1):
postcards from places that miss you by streetlightsky
T | 15,108 words
↳ Seb wanted to leave quietly. That was the one thing he had asked above all else. Or, the one where Seb retires, but Charles refuses to let him disappear.
-> I honestly recommend pretty much anything by this author ⭐
immortality on their faces, night at their back by wintrs
E | 16,147 words
↳ Sebastian had always wondered about Charles—but maybe he’d known the truth all along, and he’d just never let himself acknowledge it.
no flowers, no flashbulbs by superoxide
E | 10,736 words
↳ Sebastian frowns, without thinking. They’d both ridiculed the idea of some kind of staged paparazzi friendliness when it had come up. He wonders what has turned Charles around on the idea so suddenly. (Charles has a plan to improve their image; Sebastian is less convinced.)
see you falling by redpaint
E | 3,653 words
↳ “I can’t— There are no words. No words. I just need to get this out of my head, okay? Before you go.”
-> I honestly recommend pretty much anything by this author, especially the 'conflict resolution' series for that 2019 feel⭐
those who miss each other by sionisjaune
E | 8,401 words
↳ Charles’s phone is burning a hole in his pocket. This is something he should be filming, but he doesn’t want to. He thinks he shouldn’t, for some reason. He thinks he can keep this encounter for himself.
+ bonus: (yes I'm sharing my own fic shhhh)
been a long year by ssilverarrowss
M | 7,123 words
↳ The days stubbornly march forward. Sometimes it feels agonisingly slow, and sometimes it feels like everything is moving too quickly, like Charles is going to blink and all the time he’s spent with Sebastian will be in the rearview, gone forever.
Alternate Universe:
scenes from an american artist by tetrapod
M | 9,389 words
↳ Excerpt from an interview with Charles Leclerc. August 1974. Q: How did it all end? CL: The way all relationships end, I suppose. Inevitably.
flesh of my flesh by charlotte_stant
E | 4,749 words
↳ Sebastian, still smiling, tilts his head and looks at Charles speculatively. “Can I take you for a drive, Father?" he asks. "To continue our conversation. I find myself in need of… spiritual direction.” Charles ought to say no, but he doesn’t even consider it, not really. Sometimes falling is like that: as easy as opening your mouth and saying “Yes.”
the language of another world by redpaint
G | 2,568 words
↳ Charles is sent down from Oxford (drunkenness, absenteeism, behavior unbecoming of a Balliol man) and becomes the research assistant to a botanist who is doing fieldwork in the Shetland Islands.
and VASI to guide you in by anonymous
T | 1,375 words
↳ Nobody at the tiny Aeroporto di Maranello Enzo Ferrari can figure out why and how the runway lights manage to stay on through the night—long after curfew and long after the last worker has left the premises, taking the main ops key with them. However, newly promoted Captain Charles Leclerc of floundering charter airline Ferrari Air knows the answer to that question. He just won’t tell it to anyone. Ever.
the tools to rebuild by astronomical_light
T | 22,645 words
↳ After months of stagnating in his recovery following a high-speed crash, Charles gets referred to a specialist clinic tucked away in the Swiss mountainside that feels as much like a high-end wellness retreat as it does a physical rehabilitation program. He doesn’t have many expectations going into it, but he knows one thing for sure—he definitely wasn’t expecting Sebastian.
Seb/Charles feat. other pairings:
stringe il cuore della stella morente by partywitharichzombie
E | 14,634 words
↳ The announcement is almost poetic in its sweet simplicity: a photo of Daniel, aged three, the cavallino rampante a stark contrast against the white of his oversized t-shirt, radiant grin as disarming then as it is now. No caption. None necessary. (Daniel signs with Ferrari for 2021 and beyond. He hopes he and Charles can avoid ending up in a scenario of assured mutual destruction.)
high speed weekend survivor by babypapaya
T | 18,608 words
↳ Formula Student is a student engineering competition held annually in the UK. Student teams from around the world design, build, test, and race a small-scale formula style racing car.
(in) clover by tetrapod
T | 5,895 words
↳ “I was thinking we could take the boat out,” Charles said.
spacetime invariants by distressedgremlin
M | 6,615 words
↳ Lewis arrived midway through the season of dust storms. Sebastian met him on a shabby starport that barely clung to the atmosphere of a frozen-over planet, the only one within forty light-days’ distance that the dust did not reach.
