Summary
Title from the Mary Oliver poem "Wild Geese".
In hindsight, it should have been obvious- the bizarre name, the early morning runs around the base, the effortless evasions whenever the matter of his employment came up- but that does little to ease the shock and the following anger when Tom does, eventually, find out.
AU where Tom "Iceman" Kazansky never goes to the Academy and ends up running into Pete "Maverick" Mitchell under completely different circumstances.

Summary
“Maverick.” Metcalf warns.
The name sparks recognition in Tom.
He thinks of two boys, sitting on a patch of dirt next to a gravel path, watching jets against the San Diego sunrise- 'Hi, I’m Maverick', he’d said.
Nearly half a decade ago, now, but Tom still remembers it like it was yesterday.
Or, Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky never went to the Academy, but still meets Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell.Series
