A Tale of Three

by HarpforHim

"So… What are you doing for Christmas…?"The question was simple, but it felt foreign to Lightning as it rolled off his tongue.He'd never had to ask something like that before. For as long as he could remember, it had always been him and his mom doing their own Christmas thing on their own terms.But now… After his mom passes away, a young Lightning finds three new ways to celebrate the Christmas season with very mixed results.(Humanized)

In a Name

by Okbabe

“It’s not Lightning, by the way” the kid nearly whispers, picking at the frayed hem on the ankle of his sweatpants.Doc turns to look at him fully, “What’s not?”“My name.” He doesn’t make eye contact, refuses to even let Doc try to catch his blue eyes, “Harv had me change it when I started racin’ with him.”Doc knew Lightning probably wasn’t the kid’s god given name. He’d been around racing long enough to know the different monikers often helped give the racer a break from being the racer when they wanted a second away from it all. He hadn’t known Lightning to share that desire. Lightning McQueen was written in all the court documents from their first meeting, on every check the kid signed to revitalize the town, even the kid’s credit card held the moniker. He’d assumed somewhere along the line, the kid had changed whatever his birth name was to his chosen name. Never really felt the need to question it.“It’s Montgomery.” Lightning whispered.Or; Lightning may have bitten off more than he can chew with his new found fame. He thought he was ready to be THE Lightning McQueen, but will he ever not be Montgomery?

the sea is my love (but you're my home)

by edenizen

When he made it up the steps by the wheel — where someone he didn’t know the name of was steering back to the mainland — the cheers reached his ears in a way he knew should keep his heart pumping, a smile on his face . . . but it just sounded like noise. And, yeah, they were cheering for him, something he wanted for so long, but it wasn’t right. Maybe it was the eerie calmness of the water, or maybe it was the bleeding gums that greeted him at every turn.“Ladies and sailors!” the brothers shouted, voices cutting into the night. “We give you, Ramiel fucking Malkah!”or, i decided to make lightning mcqueen an illegal racer (pirate-esque)OR, i had a very fun idea over the summer and got encouragement

Racers (A prequel to Cars)

by ElisH2

This is the version where Cars that instead of vehicular sentient cars, were instead humanized, and this focuses on Lightning McQueen’s background and backstory since it was confirmed in Cars 3 he was born in 1977 which makes him above in his 40’s in our real-world. This is where the story focuses on the background of NASCAR racing and its legacy and impact on the automobile culture. This will be McQueen's journey to becoming a famous racer, and the trials that come along his way before he paved his path and becoming the first rookie on his way if he can win the Piston Cup in 2006.

Cars 3: The New Rival

by ronmerZYTW0918

This story takes place in an alternate universe after Cars 2: The Friendship Bet where Lightning McQueen beats Jackson Storm using drifting. Now, Lightning McQueen, Jackson Storm, Cal Weathers, Bobby Swift and Brick Yardley are friends and pull funny pranks on each other. Until one race, a new rookie enters the race. This rookie is a female and calls herself a "one-woman show" and reminds Lightning of his past self. Can Lightning McQueen prove this rookie that winning is not everything there is to racing? (Note: Cruz Ramirez was never a trainer in this universe and there will also be references to the actual Cars 3 Movie). Cars does not belong to me. It belongs to Pixar and Disney. All of the other sixteen next generation rookies in the second chapter are my OCs from Cars 2: The Friendship Bet. Please do not read this story until you read Cars 2: The Friendship Bet. Five more OCs will be introduced in this story.
