It could be a story of self - discovery. Both characters are used to being cars, and now as humans, they have to figure out what it means to be human. They could start to explore different emotions and relationships. For example, Lightning McQueen might struggle with the concept of love, while Francesco tries to understand the value of true friendship outside of the racing world.
In the fanfiction, perhaps it's a love triangle situation. There could be a female character who catches the eyes of both Human Lightning McQueen and Francesco. McQueen is the more down - to - earth type while Francesco is all about charm and showmanship. This could lead to a lot of comical and tense moments as they both vie for the girl's attention.
One possible plotline could be that they start as rivals on the track but then through some unexpected events, like getting stranded together in a remote area during a race. They have to rely on each other and gradually develop feelings that lead to a kiss. Another could be that they are forced to team up for a special race event, and during their training and time together, they realize they have more in common than they thought and end up kissing.
It's not an extremely common theme. While the Cars franchise is mainly focused on racing and friendship, some fans like to explore different relationships in fanfiction. However, this particular kissing scenario might be a bit more niche as the movies don't really hint at such a relationship between Lightning McQueen and Francesco. But in the world of fanfiction, people can let their imaginations run wild.
Common themes could be adventure. Maybe Francesco and Lightning go on an exciting journey together, facing various challenges along the way. Another theme might be friendship evolving into something more. They start as friends and gradually develop deeper feelings for each other.
I'm not sure specifically which 'francesco x lightning fanfiction' is popular. You could try searching on major fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own. They usually have a wide variety of fanfictions on different pairings, and you might find some good ones there.
Overcoming challenges is another theme. Whether it's McQueen facing a tough competitor on the track or the reader dealing with personal issues, they work together to overcome these obstacles. This theme gives the stories a sense of purpose and growth for the characters.
There's a fanfiction I read where Lightning McQueen and Sally have to work together to save Radiator Springs. In this story, their relationship deepens as they overcome obstacles. It shows how their different personalities, McQueen's speed - loving nature and Sally's more calm and community - centered self, complement each other. And there are also some that focus on their courtship in a really cute way, like how McQueen tries to impress Sally with his new racing techniques.
They could go on an adventure where they discover a new and challenging track. Together, they figure out the best way to navigate it. Lightning McQueen's experience and Cruz Ramirez's fresh perspective combine to make it an exciting journey.
One possible plot could be that Lightning McQueen, the young and fast racer, looks up to The King as a racing legend. They could start as rivals on the track, but then an accident happens to The King. McQueen then feels a sense of duty to help him recover and in the process, they learn from each other's racing styles and experiences. This could lead to a deep friendship and mutual respect, with McQueen ultimately becoming a better racer because of The King's wisdom.
