Sun Wukong strives to raise his baby brother in his parent's absence, but life is not always so merciful as his past actions and a person he long ran away from comes crashing back in his life once again. - Cross-posted from Ao3!

Lightning McQueen - The name known across the country. You can't forget his name and he wouldn't let you if you tried. The debonair and mercilessly handsome up-and-coming rookie racer, Lightning, is aiming for the stars and not backing down. While some might say his pride and flamboyance are a hindrance to his racing he only sees them as strengths, meant to propel him to the top. But after an astonishing three-way tie at the Piston Cup race, he has to push himself to prove his worth. But things don't go according to plan. A crazy night out with his friends, an old rickety town forgotten by Hell itself, and a whole bunch of legally binding repairs stops this racer in his tracks. He must find a way to get free and back into training. He has a race to get to and a spotlight to catch - he simply WILL NOT let himself be forgotten...Not like this 'almost dust' town on Highway 66. *** This story is 'human-bent' all characters have been turned human and in order to make that possible a lot of things have been altered and some scenes changed to accommodate that. You'll also find that I added some completely new scenes - some to deepen characterization and others I added just because I like them from other movies (i.e. Cars 3). *** Obviously I own none of these characters (at least not in their car form;) and most of the plot line and dialogue, all those props go to Disney & Pixar.

[Reader with They/them pronouns] The former LBD hostess must have parents, right? The heroes should probably bring her back to them. Unfortunately for the Six-Eared Macaque, the girl he saved took a liking to him, and she only has one parent, and they're single!

(Because we all need more possessed Sun Wukong stories) Unaware that someone is trying to turn you into the new Lady Bone Demon. You absentmindedly make a wish. Wanting a knight like the one in stories... that was loyal, honest and kind to you. Never expecting a monkey wearing blue armour to suddenly appear, bowing before you calling himself your champion and you His Lady!?!

In this AU, the Detroit "Big Three" manufacturers have entered into a war to prove once and for all who's the best, and no one can stop them. Our favorite Piston Cup racers may not be what they seem... This fic is a trilogy. Part 1 takes place in the early 1970s, Part 2 the mid 1980s, and Part 3 in 2006 around the events we see in Cars.
