Summary
The sun slips below the horizon, the shadows growing long until the stars glitter bright against the night sky’s tapestry. Nicke still does not let Alex touch him beyond the careful press of their hands, but he unbends enough that he no longer looks as if the slightest touch will shatter him like spun glass.

Summary
it began in the quiet moments, in the dust and debris of mortar fire, in the decisions that leave blood on your hands.
it began not with a single step but thousands, each as silent as the last until the last vestiges of shore have slipped through your fingers and all that is left is darkness.

Summary
Darnell nodded, glancing over Robby like he was trying to place him in the hierarchy of important to ignorable and it could go either way. "What's this?"
"MSF FNG," Jack shot back. Whatever that meant, he sounded amused.
Darnell scoffed and looked to Robby, expression going decidedly unimpressed. "Oh, yeah? You here to find yourself? Have an adventure? Do something hard?" he asked, each question more mocking than the last.
And there was that question again, like it was haunting Robby. He stifled his instinct to bite back and kept it simple: "I'm here to help."

Summary
Goose has been dead for a week and a half when Iceman loses his first wingman in a dogfight with six Soviet MiGs over the Sea of Okhotsk.
Goose has been dead for thirty years when Iceman loses his second wingman to a surface-to-air missile on the tail-end of a mission he's responsible for: he's sent his family on a suicide mission to destroy a uranium enrichment facility in Russia's Far East.
This is the story of those thirty years in the middle.
(Or: Tom Kazansky rises through the ranks while trying to stay a good man. If he ever was one to begin with.)
[Final edit 2/4/23. See Ch. 1 notes for major changes.]

Maverick was the most terrified he’d ever been in his goddamn life, up to and including the plane crash, because he wasn’t a parent but now he was all Bradley Bradshaw had in the world.

Summary
Maverick doesn’t regret it when he takes the hit, when the last thing he hears before he ejects is Rooster screaming his name.
But then he wakes. Not to a vast, white snowfield behind enemy lines—but to an inverted cockpit of an F-14.
And to Goose, alive and well in the seat behind him.
—
Or; the time-travel fix-it in which TG:M Maverick wakes up at the start of TG (1986).
