Summary
Bobby wrecks Lightning with five laps to go. Lightning just wants to chat about it.
｡ ｡ ｡
“Crashin’ is a part of racing, playing with the rules is a part of the game, but you care about your friendships. Those are what bring this sport life for you. That ain’t worth nothing. That being said,” Doc leaned in, placing a hand on Lightning’s shoulder. “That move deserves a swing,” Doc muttered under his breath. “And if he’s any friend worth his weight, he’ll take it like a gentleman.”

Summary
Lightning McQueen was a very good loser. It wasn’t often that those skills had to be used, but on this glorious day, he was going to be the best loser.
Lightning could barely see the bright purple, Octain Gain car through the smoke of burnout. It suffocated his lungs and made him cough, but he didn’t give a shit. He scrambled out of the #95’s window and nearly fell flat on his face in the process.
And there he was.
Bobby fucking Swift.
Bobby was yelling at the top of his lungs, dancing on top of his #19. He whooped and cheered through the smoke as reporters surrounded him like seagulls to fries.
Lightning was going to kiss that man.
Sally would get it.
---
Bobby Swift wins the Piston Cup, which comes with a party, a speech, and the end of a racing season. Cal Weathers loses the Piston Cup, but Lightning and Bobby can't tell if that's why he's been acting so weird or not. One thing's clear, though. Something's up with Dinoco.

“I already have one, Doc! It’s you!”
“Well, now you have another.”
“No! I don’t want another.”° ° °

Summary
“Oh my god, wait, pull over!” Lightning called out, his eyes going wide at the road sign. Doc pursed his lips, but obeyed.
Lightning opened the door and raced out, barely checking for any oncoming traffic.
He was looking at the best sign that had ever been made.
Thomasville Speedway. Home of the Fabulous Hudson Hornet.
Lightning laughed out loud, turning back around to Doc who approached with his hands in his pockets.
“Doc! It’s you!”
“I can see that.”° ° °
Doc and Lightning are on their way back home from the Weathers' place, which as Lightning recalls, is a short drive over to Doc's hometown. When he suggests driving over, he didn't realize how cagey Doc would be.

When He’s all but Forgotten How to Love Again by bg_brainrot

Summary
The man grunts as he rolls off of you. “Argh. You wretched little–”
Your mind is wracked with pain, with flashes of memory that you can’t place. A previous life? You’re not sure. But after the sting of your heads colliding, this strain is too much for your mind to bear. Your vision teeters, hanging on by a single thread, all that’s left are that man’s intense red eyes.
You emerge from your trance with a shaky breath. You reach for your throat, as if to make sure that it’s still in one piece, only to find it coated in a thin sheen of sweat.
What was that.
___
You saved Baldur’s Gate almost 300 years ago. You died 150 years ago. On a new life now, you find that memories from your past lead you to a specific silver-haired man. Who was he, and why won't he leave you be?
tldr; An Elf-Tav reincarnation story where Tav dreams about Astarion in their nightly reveries and eventually seeks him out once they reach maturity. Things definitely totally go well.

Summary
“Hey Hermes!” The ambient suspicion level in the Rec ratcheted up significantly. Kapoor was disturbingly cheerful. “We’ve sent you some mission updates in the data dump, but Mitch and I wanted to personally let you know—” Mitch visibly rolled his eyes in the background. “—That thanks to some…strong suggestions from the White House, and on Annie and Director Sanders’ recommendation, we’ve started releasing Watney’s Mars logs to the public.”
