Summary
Goose is alive AU: Now they're all at Top Gun for the Mission to end all missions - what changes now that Maverick has someone to watch over him? Cyclone is an asshole (though he learns better). Hangman is also an asshole (cue drama and Jake being a little shit). As always, Slider and Iceman are good bros. Also, once Rooster has a good support network, he's competent and level headed, for the most part.
So what changes and what stays the same? Read and find out!

Summary
Goose lives AU: Going back to 1986 - What happened when Nick woke up after the accident? Fluff and angst of course! Maverick blames himself, because he has a guilt-complex more difficult to navigate than the future canyon run. Of course Goose sets him straight. (And if Iceman needs a little emotional support too, then who's all that surprised?)
(Chapters set at various times between the two movies.)

Have Mustache; Made Friends While I Travelled Home by RabidPlotBunniesAttackkkk for My dad who always supports me

Summary
Goose Lives AU: Goose and Hangman get that drink. True to form, Nick sees a lonely soul and adopts another straggler. Can Hangman get over his own hangups and enjoy the good things in life?
(Also, Hangman and Rooster's relationship makes so much sense if you have brothers. I always picture Rooster pinching his nose while Hangman teases him, thinking: 'Dad said I can't hit him - even when he's being a little shit.' LMAO)
