Summary
Now semi-retired from the Piston Cup, Lightning McQueen continues to enjoy life and love. He feels like the luckiest car in the world: a wonderful wife, a child on the way (plus a baby shower), and a whole town to support them.
He’s so lucky, in fact, that he is given unpredictable alien superpowers with which to defend Earth from its own supervillains.

Summary
My first Whumptober attempt. Not sure if I completely understand the rules but let's roll 😎
There are four main storylines and a smattering of standalones. I'll note which ones are connected as they are posted.
On Thin Ice: An avalanche traps Finn and a rookie inside an Antarctic volcano, while Holley goes to save them.
Brainwashed: Finn's captors attempt to turn him into a sleeper agent.
Guardian: Lightning is forced to become a superhero and it's not very fun.
Assassin: Exactly what it sounds like 🫠

Cars 2 Expanded Universe by thekeyboardplayer

Summary
All my works where familiarity with Cars 2 is required, and familiarity with Planes is preferred. Canon-compliant, but mainly this timeline is defined by a few of my HCs that I won't always use. Think of these as mild fix-it fics.

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.)
