Summary
If looks could kill… Well, Doc knew someone would’ve been lying cold on the floor by now.
“Whatever he has to say can either wait till later,” Lightning began, clearly doing his best to keep the irritation at bay, “or can go into voicemail.”
Doc managed to keep his voice casual despite his almost overwhelming curiosity. “Who is it?”
With a quick flick of the wrist, Lightning threw the phone down the short hall and into the back bedroom.
“Harv,” he explained as he joined the group again. “My agent.”
Barely a week after the tiebreaker race, Lightning is whisked off to do post-season interviews and commercials. When Doc joins him in Florida for a televised interview, he begins to see that perhaps the kid’s agent isn’t as good for him as Lightning might think.

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.)

Fire In Your Lungs & Lightning In Your Veins by LiteraryDragonRK880051

Summary
NASCAR racing isn't just about driving fast. 42 cars fighting to move up, lap after lap, inside, outside, inches apart, but never touching.
It's also about being able to undo all of your safety restraints, shut off all of your systems, and GET OUT when your car erupts into flames.

Summary
"I think we need to take a trip to the Emergency Room, see a doctor," Doc says at the same time Lightning exclaims. "You're a doctor!"
"Just want to make sure nothing is wrong," his mentor says in a calm rational tone that doesn't do anything but make him more ansty. "We can go quickly-"
"It's just gas Doc," he claims. "Really bad gas, I'm totally fine."
"Light-"
"Do you know what I'm feeling right now?" He demands. "Exactly, you don't- so please stop assuming."
It's more aggressive than Lightning usually gets with him, but there is no way in hell he's being toted off to some fucking hospital; especially not for some asshole Doctor, who's not Doc, to just laugh at him for over-reacting about some nuclear level gas pain.
No fucking way.
(Or the one where Lightning gets an appendicitis and is super duper in denial about it- good thing Doc is there to talk some sense into him!)

Doc had a routine.
The same one everyday.
Hearing the sharp knock on his front door at 7am and listening to Sheriff shout his name was certainly not part of his routine.
"Dammit." Was his only thought.

Summary
“You know, it only makes 'em worse. Take it from someone who knows.”
Blue eyes glance up from a long message on his phone, face blank. “What?”
Thumbing his lip, Doc clarifies. “Not sleeping. It just makes the dreams worse.” Inhaling a hearty gulp of his drink, he winces when the liquid burns his throat. “Honey-” and damn does the kid just melt at that name, “Ya gotta try and sleep, okay?”
(Or the one where Lightning is haunted by nightmares. Doc has some feelings about it. Yeah... yeah he has some feelings about it.)

Summary
Lightning McQueen has always believed being a racer means pushing past the pain...until his knees remind him otherwise. From starting as a one-man show to collapsing mid-race in front of his crew when he ignores the warning signs, Lightning’s career is marked by a pain he can’t outrun.
But it’s also marked by the people who step up for him one way or another: Mack, Doc, Cal and Bobby, and soon, the whole town. In both big and small gestures, they teach him that asking for help isn’t weakness. It's a part of life.
(OR; a series of connected snapshots about Lightning's chronic knee pain and how he learns to let others in.)

Summary
"To find worth in such chaos, it needs to actually be there in the first place. But why would Lightning bother searching when it’s so clearly not?
Thunderstorms haphazardly destroy. They flood and wreck homes, bodies, souls, and lives alike. They trap people inside; they delay plans. They cancel races. And whenever and wherever they coincidentally materialize—it’s always for one lone reason and one reason, only: to collide into the physical world. A purposeful accident.
But—unintentional or not—it’s still a collision. Someone has to get hurt."
————
After being saved from the World Grand Prix and driven by his consequent feelings of indebtedness, Lightning recklessly races down the road to his fifth Piston Cup championship, ignorant of the peril he begins to put himself in. Coincidentally, a series of uncontrollable “bumps in the road”—incidents seemingly hell-bent on crashing him—causes him to begin spiraling into guilt, fear, and desperation at the same time.
Blinded by his own emotions, Lightning's oblivious to what’s behind all the “corners” he soon cuts—how he’s losing himself and his own self-worth along the way—and the inescapable collision course that he ultimately locks himself onto.

Summary
“You’ve spent the last however many months barely able to look at me without scowling and now you’re paying me compliments simply because I rushed in and did something utterly moronic and dangerous," Bilbo said. "It doesn’t follow.”
“It does if you’re a dwarf,” he said beginning to grin.
Fem!Bilbo/Thorin have a conversation. Quite possibly their first actual conversation. Set post-eagle flight and the battle with Azog. UST.

After Hours (a Lois & Clark Story) by lesvagabondes
Fandoms: Superman - All Media Types, Superman (Movie 2025)
01 Sep 2025

Summary
At first, Lois is unconvinced. She’s been since the moment she flipped through his file. His résumé is riddled with vague location markers— Jarangpur, Nepal, Patagonia—and small-league writing credits. His work isn’t bad, per se— it’s just not memorable. Then, we have to talk about that web search. Seriously. The man might as well live under a rock for all she knows. She had expected, at the very least, a LinkedIn profile, but what she got instead was: “Clark Kent wins tractor pull at Smallville County Fair” — courtesy of the Smallville Gazette, population 47,000 (give or take a few cows), and whose website hasn’t been updated since 2015. As unredeemable proof was a photo of a grinning young man in flannel and what looks like an extremely offended chicken. No, she's not making that stuff up.
This is my take on Lois & Clark, which are, in my opinion, one of the greatest couples in fiction. It is mostly an office romance with lots of fluff and a bit of hurt/comfort and family drama. In other words, when Superman meets "Friends" and "the Office".

Summary
Clark glanced down at Kara, out towards his weeping parents. “If I tell you where Kal-El is, you’ll leave? You won’t hurt Kara, won’t hurt anyone?”
“Of course, my boy.” Zod replied. “I am not a cruel man.”
“Clark!” His dad’s sharp voice rang through the air.
Kara clutched at his calf, her nails digging into his skin, but he paid her no mind. He needed to believe Zod. He had to. Clark swallowed and met Zod’s eyes. He knew what he had to do. No matter the fact that he was so afraid that his heart beat louder than anything. His burnt shoulder ached.
“I don’t really know what’s happening, but I—I think I’m Kal-El. I’m the boy you’re looking for.”
________________________________________________________________
OR: The arrival of General Zod in Smallville causes young Clark Kent to step up to protect the people of his hometown.
