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.)

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 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.
Or.. Doc's POV of Cars

Summary
(Cars humanized)
A collection of short one-shots. Too short for something on its own. Too long to throw it out the window.
Some funny scenes about Lightning McQueen and Doc Hudson. Or stupid ideas Lightning and Mater have.
And some heartwarming moments.
Newest chapter: Lightning is fast. But is he faster on foot than Sheriff? There’s only one way to find out.

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
(Humanized AU)
“You convinced me. Do you doubt it?”
“Well… I don’t know. That was too easy. You wouldn’t plan anything stupid?“ Smokey asked worriedly.
“Stupid? Me? I’ll go to the Piston Cup like you wanted.” Hudson smiled and hoped that Smokey wouldn’t find out his plan. Because he didn’t have the money to get the car back legally. That meant there was only one way - the illegal one.

Summary
He grimaced slightly. “Ugh, fine. You're going to say I told you so.”
A beat passed. It probably dragged on a lot longer for Lightning than it did for Doc. But then, the old man cracked a subtle smirk. “No, I was going to ask if you were okay.”
“You’re an asshole.”
“An asshole who was correct to warn you about skateboarding three days before a race,” he chastised, exhaling deeply. “Come on kid, let's get you up.”
