The Morning Will Come, and The World is Mine by Hi_mydemons_itsme

Summary
A what if scenario where Rusty loses the race.
—
Everything was over. Rusty had lost, and he hadn’t a thing to show for his experience. Diesel beat steam, and it was as Poppa said, Steam can’t race. Rusty couldn’t even show his father there was hope before he died. Rusty couldn’t even bare to bring himself outside his shed. Only coming out when Control forced him to.
Now it’s that time of year again. Time for all of the engines to brag and argue. Except without Rusty racing this year, a spot is open in the race. Which leads to a certain Irish Train to take his place.

Listen to the Radio Sing by StarlitPuppy58

Summary
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and that rings especially true when the yard’s brake-and-radio van is the picture of innocence. As the world seems to crash and burn, with more and more accidents piling up left and right, who would think to blame the string of bad luck on the ever-smiling Red Caboose? After all, he’s the friendliest guy in the yard, always there to lend a hand and help the rolling stock when they’re in need. Whether you need a shoulder to cry on, a racing buddy, or simply someone to keep you company while you trudge through the monotony of railyard life, the cheerful truck will be there with a quip, some comfort, or a little tune to lift your spirits. And who can resist listening to the radio sing?

Summary
Starlight Hills was a town that never seemed to change. It was a small cluster of buildings tucked away between fields and freeways; A simple place that never tried to be more than what it was. It was surrounded by winding roads, open fields, and had sparse law enforcement that were willing to turn a blind eye in exchange for a few dollars. All in all, it was the perfect place for a race.
✦☆
A 1960's street racing AU where Greaseball visits Starlight Hills looking to prove herself. She meets Dinah, a carhop at the local Drive-In who feels trapped in this small town but obligated to stay. Races, kisses and crashes ensue. -

Summary
'We have a girl who's recently moved here, and she was going to join us in September anyway. However, I thought it might be good if she joined us now, and you two raced together in the end of year race.'
Greaseball blinked. 'Race with someone I've never met in the most important race of the year? Over my brother?'
'Well, you can't race with me anyway.' Tassita pointed out.
'And even though she's new, this girl is a very skilled coach. She's raced in other youth groups her whole life, like you, and I think it would be a good temporary pairing.' Coach said. 'It's completely your choice, but I really think you should go for it.'
'Okay.'
'Great.' Coach grinned. 'I'll message her parents right away. Are you coming to practise tomorrow?' Greaseball nodded. 'You'll meet Dinah there, then.'

What happened to make Greaseball and Dinah meet, and what happened in the years following. Told in Greaseball's perspective -

Summary
“Whose…?” He asked, glancing down at her abdomen, which was still largely unchanged. She supposed he was doing mental calculations. He and the rest of the components had been away, gone on a tour of Australia and Japan for the better part of three months for a series of races. She knew he wouldn’t begrudge her a tryst, he and the others would have certainly had their fun while they were away.
But there hadn't been anyone.

Summary
“Porter's got…history here,” Lumber said. “You'll have to ask him, if he hasn't told you.” Porter was Electra's…well, Lumber wasn't sure what to call what went on between Porter and the electric engine. Partner or even boyfriend seemed too serious, hook-up too casual. They were something, and Porter seemed happy with whatever it was. Or alright with it, at least. His brother was less forthcoming with Lumber about whatever he had going on with Electra than he was about most things. But Electra didn't seem to be doing him any harm, so ultimately he didn't need to know; it wasn't his place to judge whose bed Porter was in or why. Just like it wasn't his place to divulge what he knew, if Porter hadn't told Electra about his past.

Lumber, Electra, and Killerwatt go looking for Porter after he leaves a guest shed late at night.Series

Summary
Raised by a gang of Diesels, young Rusty has always dreamt of racing, but fears he cannot due to being a Steamer and having a corrosive rust problem.
Everything changes when his brother, Greaseball, signs him up for the World Championship without his knowledge. Rusty soon finds himself catapulted into stardom, and into a rivalry with the only other Steamer competing.
The problem is, Rusty has a big fat crush on her and will do anything to win her heart, despite someone else trying to win his own.
And Greaseball’s got a problem of his own in the form of a familiar face from his past…
