Summary
After rescuing Joe after six harrowing days of searching for her, Cruz and Josie return to the Fort Bragg home they’ve built together, grateful for the rare chance to leave work behind and simply be together.
But the peace doesn’t last. The investigation into Joe’s abduction uncovers a connection to Cruz’s past mission and to Aaliyah Amrohi, the woman Cruz once loved while undercover and was forced to leave behind.
As Cruz is drawn back into a history she has never fully reconciled, it becomes increasingly difficult to tell whether Aaliyah is a victim, an ally, or something far more dangerous. And when Aaliyah’s attention shifts toward Josie, Cruz discovers that unfinished business from her past may threaten the future, and the woman, she can no longer imagine living without.

Was It Worth It to Let the Storm Inside You Win? by Rookie_Lou

Summary
(Humanized Cars)
"Good luck out there champ. You're gonna need it," Jackson said, less confident than before. Hudson shot him a warning glare and Jackson had to swallow as the two left him standing there alone.
His father had never called him son. Not even when he introduced him to anyone. Jackson never got acknowledged as anyone's son. And McQueen and Hudson weren't even really related.
Maybe it was envy that flared up in Jackson but it turned into hate.
—
Jackson Storm - The desire to be a racer came at the age of six. His uncle trained him to lose himself, to become one of the best, and at eighteen he was finally able to compete against Lightning McQueen. But at what cost? Did he want McQueen to have a fatal accident? And how can he ever escape the emotional manipulation?-
Bookmark Notes:
"Hey, listen," she said a little more gently. "Sometimes your mind plays tricks on you. It can tell you that you’re worthless without winning your races. But that’s not true. You are loved. And important," she said and took his hands in hers. They were warm, unlike Jackson's.
Jackson didn't have to think more about it. He knew what he wanted.
"Okay. I'll go with you," he said and Charlie jumped for joy on the spot, which made him chuckle.
"That's amazing! Oh my word, I can't believe you said yes! This is going to be great. We're going to have the best time. Oh, do you want to tell anyone?"
Jackson hesitated. Would anyone even worry if he just disappeared for no reason? Would anyone miss him? But somehow he also thought it would make sense to tell someone, because otherwise he'd be searched by the police if he suddenly disappeared.
"Yes," he answered. So he held her hand and started to walk to a certain garage.
Somehow, everything was suddenly different. Everything seemed less important as he walked along. The only thing that mattered was Charlie. And she was here. He still could hardly believe it. He squeezed her hand and she smiled at him as she followed.
They headed to the #95 garage. He let go of her hand and she waited nearby as he looked for someone in particular.
He found him.
"Lightning?" he said, and Lightning turned to him, looking a little surprised that he wasn't calling him McQueen anymore. But happily surprised.
"Yes?"
"I'm leaving. I thought... I'd tell someone."
"Leaving?" Lightning frowned.
"Yes. With her," he said, pointing to Charlie. She waved, smiling, as Lightning looked over.
"Oh. Okay. Are you safe?" he asked, proving once again what a good person he was, and probably a good father too.
"I am," he replied, and Lightning nodded.
"Who's that?"
"My childhood best friend," Jackson replied, noticing how Lightning seemed even happier afterward. Was he glad Jackson had a friend?
"Alright. What do you want me to tell folks when they ask?"
Jackson shrugged. "Tell them I won't let regret and worrying keep me here."
"You remembered," Lightning said with a smile on his face.
Jackson nodded, a little embarrassed by the fact that he was actually taking Lightning's advice. "I'll come back though. Maybe. One day. Consider it as a break."
"I will," Lightning replied. “I wish you all the best.”
"Thank you. Maybe you can bring home a few more victories now that I'm taking a break," Jackson teased in a lighthearted tone.
Lightning let out a laugh. “You’re impossible,” he said, pretending to smack Jackson on his head although it only hit the air. “I hope your girl can fix your attitude,” Lightning teased back.
My girl.
That sounds good.
“I have to go now.” Lightning gestured to the rest of his team. “I guess I’ll see you around then.”
"Yes. Oh and... Lightning?" Jackson said hesitantly.
“Yeah?”
"Thank you."
Lightning smiled and only nodded once.
So Jackson walked back to Charlie.
He turned around one last time and Lightning raised his hand in farewell. Jackson waved back and then left with his girl.
"Let's get out of here," Jackson said, taking her hand again.
Before anyone noticed, they were gone.
The news was full of Jackson's disappearance, and reporters threw questions at Lightning because he was the only one who knew anything.
It died down after a few weeks, and a new sensation was in the news. Just like always.
Jackson disappeared from the public eye.
He hadn't thought hiking in the mountains could be so beautiful.
He hadn't known how cold a mountain lake could be.
He hadn't known that sunrises were even more beautiful when you spent them in a flower meadow instead of at the gym.
He hadn't known how much cow manure could stink when he stepped in it. And how much Charlie could laugh about it.
Charlie always wanted to take a road trip on Route 66.
They met many interesting people along the way. Some ended up joining them.
They found a stray dog and took him in. They called him Bear.
After a two-year hiatus, he returned to the racing scene and won his second Piston Cup. His fiancée was always by his side.

everything I know about these two, I have learned against my will by skimmonslab

Summary
She zeroes in on the way Cruz’s hands and long fingers curl around Aaliyah’s ribcage, too comfortable and dangerously high, her thumbs right under her breasts, the press of her palms not shy or hesitant. Cruz’s hips against Aaliyah’s as Cruz uses them to pin her in place because Aaliyah is gently tilting to the side, fighting the bout of lightheadedness and nausea.
That’s not the way you’d hold an acquaintance or even a friend. Hands can only be that familiar on another body if they already traveled over naked skin. If fingers have wandered through sweat and heat, and have experienced holding their ribs and hips as they trembled and shuddered.
That’s how you touch someone who’s already yours, Bobby thinks.
OR
Bobby's POV. The 5 times Bobby learns something about Cruz and Aaliyah completely against her will and the 1 time she does so willingly.
(updated with a summary that I feel better demonstrates the tone of the fic, but fear not, there will be smut)

Summary
For the Win follows Senator Cruz Manuelos, a tough, no-nonsense progressive running for Governor of Texas, and Aaliyah Amrohi, the brilliant, poised heiress to an oil dynasty. When political pressure forces them into a staged engagement, their mutual disdain is outweighed only by their ambition.
Thrown into the public eye as Texas’ first “power couple,” they must navigate campaign events, media scrutiny, and a house that feels more like a battlefield than a home. As polls shift and tensions rise, their carefully constructed façade begins to blur, challenging everything they thought they knew about each other—and themselves.
In a race where power, perception, and politics collide, the question isn’t just whether they can win Texas—it’s whether they can survive each other.

I Let You Come My Way [I Let It All Untether] by Vitaldelirium

Summary
Cruz can’t help but notice some glaring omissions from Joe’s well-crafted extraction plan, because, well, stealth? She’s trained for. Extractions? She can pull off in her sleep. Navigating tunnels blind? That was a light day in black operations training! But where can she pick up the manual on how to look into the eyes of a woman she’s destroyed without crumbling under the shame of her betrayal? Where can she take courses in mending gaping fissures already stuffed with the heft of lies? Who can teach her how to be both flame and extinguisher without annihilating herself in the process?
It’s too much.
She can’t do this.
She doesn’t know how to do this.

Summary
“It will happen again.” Aaliyah says, finally. “It won’t be my father, but it will be someone’s father; and it will happen again.”
She doesn’t know what answer she’s looking for.
“I know,” Cruz nods. “But when it does, it won’t be me they send.”
(or Aaliyah tries to heal in New York after the events of 1x08 and Cruz shows up in just enough time to ruin it all.)
