Summary
"But, Maverick ... Pete ... you do have a safety net. It's called the rest of the human race—your team, your wingmen. That's what I think a lot of people have been trying to bang into your head for a long time." – quote from Mike Cogan's Top Gun novelization
Maverick has lost so many people, and he can't seem to protect them all. By now, he's learned to fear the worst.
(Or, five times Maverick wasn’t ready to say goodbye, and the one time he decided that enough was enough: no more goodbyes.)
(Credit for this fic title goes to my friend, the Cocodile.)

Summary
He might break your heart twelve years before but eventually he'll come back.
Three years after graduating from Top Gun, elite US Naval aviator Pete "Maverick" Mitchell has been temporarily stationed in Australia, about a year prior to Operation Desert Storm. As evidenced in the first Top Gun film, he's had a string of girlfriends over the years, but happens to be free when he meets the OC, Tanya. It’s unplanned and unhinged and they have a recklessly wonderful time.
Tanya convinces herself that it’s not love and that she won't develop feelings — only to find her heart shattered over their break-up when Pete heads back to the US. She hopes he'll come back, or at least return her calls... But fate decides otherwise and it’s twelve years before they unexpectedly meet again. Are they really meant for each other, or was it just a case of wrong person, wrong place, wrong time?
A Top Gun / Top Gun: Maverick oneshot that takes place between both films.

Summary
The Navy's favourite (read: most frustrating) disaster pilot has his hands full when he returns to Top Gun in 2001 to teach a class of hopefuls, all while pursuing an old flame on the side. But Mav's never been good at keeping his superiors happy, and historically, he's not much better at relationships...
(The sequel to 'Sweet Little Lies', a Maverick x OC fic.)
