Summary
He should be happy. The season was starting. His name was back in the conversation. He could hear the echoes of his own reputation in the static of every trackside broadcast—“Lightning McQueen, the rookie who helped The King cross the line. The future of racing.” It should’ve lit a fire in his chest.
Instead, it just made it harder to breathe.
- - -
With racing season starting back up everyone assumed McQueen would’ve been the first rearing to go. And he is…
Isn’t he?

Summary
He's been in Radiator Springs for just over six months when Lightning chances a glance at the calendar that Doc hangs up on their fridge.
The thing is color coded too- because knowing Doc: of course it is.
Blue means a race day, green means training down at the Butte, and the yellow days are the rest days that Doc insisted he take in order to not burn himself out from it all.
He freezes mid chew when he spots a lone space in June free of any color.
This upcoming Sunday.
More specifically: Father's Day.
Lightning has one of those, one rotting away from booze in Nowhere, Alabama. One he would prefer to forget most days. And now he has a Doc. He's not exactly sure what he's supposed to do with that knowledge.
(Or the one where Lightning struggles with the fact its fathers day and Doc is absolutely born to be Dad-shaped. Shenanigans occur as our resident racer figures out how to show how much he appreciates his Mentor.)

Lightning Strikes Twice by ashenladyknight, meg_needs_therapy

Summary
Lightning McQueen had it all: talent, swagger, and a full ride to Alabama's top-tier football program. But in one brutal, career-altering moment, it all came crashing down. A torn ligament. A season lost. Fast forward ten months, and he's just another guy trying to reclaim what's slipping through his fingers. A shattered dream, a coach who's moved on, and a dad who refuses to let him fall any further.
When a D3 school in the middle of nowhere offers a lifeline, McQueen has two choices: clean up his act or let his past consume him. But as the road ahead gets harder, redemption might be the only thing left worth fighting for.

Summary
“Hi, you two. What’s that?” Sally pointed at the long trailer attached to the pickup. “It’s not more boxes, right?”
Fillmore shook his head. “Nah. Lightning had a car he wanted to bring here, but he was riding back in a different one.”
“He was also adamant he did not want or trust the car to make the trip from his apartment to here. He rented out a trailer and had us drive it back.” Sarge added.
Sally felt her face fall. “Another car?” She despaired. ”He has the 95 and whatever his daily is, how could he need another one? Even Doc only has one!”
Fillmore shook his head in pity. “I don’t know, man. Maybe this is just one of those ‘modern racer’ things Doc sometimes goes on and on about.”
“Ah,” Sally said, neutrally. Maybe there were downsides to dating a racer.
Lightning, as a race car driver, likes cars. Sally loves him enough to put up with it.

Summary
Doc watched as the kid turned slightly away to check his screen. The name lit up bright: HARV.
Monty silenced it quickly, thumb hovering over the decline button. “Ignore it,” he muttered. “He’s just checking in.”
Doc said nothing, but he filed it away. Harv had a way of “checking in” that always left the kid looking like he’d just run ten laps and lost them all.

Doc gives Lightning time, but he just wishes his kid would slow down and admit he’s sick. Instead, they go through the motions until Doc has enough.

Summary
He laughed easier. Slept in later. Helped fix the roof on Lizzie’s shop without being asked. But when he walked past the racing posters still hanging in Ramone’s, his eyes lingered too long. When the Sheriff asked if he’d make this permanent he changed the subject.
Because he didn’t know.
What he did know was this: Radiator Springs felt like something he’d never had before.
And that scared the hell out of him.

Summary
Doc just couldn't shake this cough. Three months of nearly hacking a lung up and he made the executive decision to break down and see his doctor. Lightning's worried glances only seemed to grow as the days dragged on without a resolution.
He knew eventually it would catch up to him.
You didn't make it to sixty five years old without some sort of health problems causing a fender bender in life.
He should be grateful he hadn't had any issues earlier in his youth, what with the amount of packs he used to smoke from ages 15 to... well now.
Seeing the CT scan results, he kind of wishes he had listened to Smokey when he grumbled at him, "Those things will be the death of you kid."
(Or Doc faces his mortality, has some 'fun' procedures, worries his adopted son, and tries like hell to finally kick the smoking habit)

Summary
It's easy to think that the flames are going out, but when they burn again and with greater intensity, no one knows how to put them out.
Lightning McQueen hides a past that no one knows about before he entered the racing world, and his silence will be what costs him. Staying silent won't help him escape what he fears most, but it's one of the best things he can do if he plans to keep his friends and family safe.

I don't know if it ever ends. It slows down then it starts again. by JediMom2021

Summary
It all started with a zipper.
Growing up as poor as he did, whatever meager food he managed to squirrel away was never enough. His old man would sooner spend whatever money he made on booze instead of groceries for his own son. The fast metabolism he was born with didn't help maintain whatever weight he had managed to gain either.
So when Lightning slipped on one of his only pairs of jeans to head to Flo's with Doc, he realized something.
The zipper was stuck.
Well. Fuck.
(Lightning enjoys eating Flo's delicious food a little too much in Radiator Springs. He handles it okay- as in not handling it well at all. Thank God for Doc.)
