Summary
Cal was usually all for swimming. He loved both the beach and the ocean. It reminded him of when he was younger and still playing in the lake at the back of his uncle's land.
Except this wasn’t the back of his uncle's land where he could do nothing that he wanted to do. This was with his two best friends that had no idea that he was born a female. Two best friends that had no idea about the scars across the underside of his pecs.-or-
Cal is trans. He doesn’t know how to come out to his friends. Life happens and he does

Summary
“Lightning, listen to me very carefully.” Cal ordered, looking at his friend to make sure he was paying attention, “I need you to look out the door for the first person you can find and tell them to go get my uncle and tell him code blue.” It was the stupid code word that he and Strip had made up when Cal was younger and didn’t like to be so open about when he was feeling a seizure coming. He would just tell his aunt or uncle code blue and they would know. It had stuck in the pits because of the simplicity. “Then I need you to come back in here and sit next to me, okay.” His face was starting to numb. He could feel his hand twitching slightly. He didn’t have much time.
Lightning looked scared, but he nodded. “Okay.”-or-
Cal has epilepsy. He’s not very open about it because it’s a more personal thing to him. He had struggled with accepting it growing up and being different, making him hesitant about sharing this part of him.
However, after a race, he could feel a seizure coming and his uncle is nowhere in sight. He has to trust Lightning to help him.Series

Summary
Lightning nudged Cruz. She looked up at him and he whispered to her. "Besides, you don't have to be worried about being different when you've got this family."
~
A fic about Cruz learning what it's like to be a racer and becoming a part of a family.I aged her down so she's 16 in this. It worked better for the plot, just pretend she would be able to race.
Please feel free to leave comments and feedback! Be nice :)

Summary
The snake struck out. Cal quickly whipped his hand back, forgetting where he was. His balance slipped as he cursed in fear. The snake didn’t bite him, but he was falling. Sliding down the rock, trying to catch his grip on anything he could. He could feel his skin tearing as he got caught on the rock side. His feet and hands scrambled for any sort of grip before he hit the ground. He could hear concerned shouting from above him and beneath him.Cal lurched forwards, trying to take hold of the rock wall.
His face smashed against a ledge that was jutting out. Pain exploded through his mouth and Cal screamed, his body hitting the floor with a sickening thud. He instantly curled around himself, the wind knocked from his lungs. His body was burning all over from the cuts and scrapes, but nothing was as bad as his face. His entire mouth was throbbing in excruciating agony.-or-
The boys and their crew chiefs decide to go on a camping trip. It can’t be that bad… right? Wrong.

Summary
Lightning Mcqueen was at the top of the world. Racing against friends and new racers was an amazing feeling. Everything was great until a new racer show up. His name? Jackson Storm. After he show up, everything in the racing sport started to change. Racers, teams, sponsors and the public.
Edit: Currently editing all the chapters as I realized that there are some mistakes. I will keep updating tho :D
((So I saw a pic about Storm and then I discover fanfics about Storm and Lightning and totally ship them. Sadly there isn't many fanfics of this two so I'm making one myself. This fanfic take place at the beginning of Cars 3 since I think the movie was a bit rushed. Also I will be changing the age of some characters.))

Summary
Bobby Swift was regretting every decision that had led to him getting into this predicament. Lightning McQueen insisted he was fine. (He wasn’t). Brick Yardley and Junior seemed unphased. Not much seemed to phase those two. And Cal Weathers? He just kept insisting that this was not his idea, and was therefore not his fault. (In Bobby’s opinion, Cal looked more like an ice cube than a race car at this point).
Lightning scoffed. “Who’s brilliant idea was it to go Tundra-tracking again?”

Summary
Pinching his nose, he asks, “What the hell is this? It smells awful, dude.”
“My special drink, buddy! I made it myself, and it is goo-hoo-ood!”
Taking another whiff, he coughs when the medicinal smell reaches his nose. “Does Doc know you brought outside alcohol to a racing event, man?”
Mater cackles, slapping a hand over his knee. “Hell no, McQueen. Come on, just try a sip, it’s good. You’ll like it.”
(Or the one where Lightning accidentally drinks moonshine for the very first time) (Things don't go very well)

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.)

Or, Lightning scares Cal and gets karma.

Summary

(Or: A delayed Father's Day fic with Lightning realizing Doc has been more of a dad to him than anyone ever has.)

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.)

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)
