    Summary

    “ Bradley’s consciousness sort of came and went within the next hour but what he did remember was being stuck with an IV, being told they were administering temporary pain medication, the distant murmur of the medical officers as they overlooked his body, and the sharp, sudden pain of his shoulder being set back in it’s socket. After that, he blacked out. “

    —————————
    aka, after the adrenaline crash hits, Bradley feels like he’ll never get warm again. His fellow Daggers won’t let that stand.

    Summary

    “Are you happy with yourself?” Nat asked. “You’ve made him into a circus attraction.”

    “Kinda,” Rooster laughed, crossing his arms. “It's his fault for falling asleep out here. Hey, who's got a sharpie?”

    “Okay–” Nat huffed, setting her hands on her hips.

    “I'm kidding, I'm kidding!”

    “Floyd!” she said, her voice loud and assertive, and Bob jerked awake immediately, knocking his book off of his lap.

    “Huh?” he breathed, lifting his head off of the back of the armchair. Fanboy snatched Bob's wallet back from Harvard, tucking it under his leg hastily. Halo took a step back from where she was leaned over peering at his book, but she knocked her shin into the coffee table and swore. Rooster clasped his hands behind his back and tucked the twenties into his pocket, making his best attempt at a poker face, but he knew he was failing miserably. And Hangman, thank fuck, finally muted his stupid phone and looked up in earnest.

    “That woke him up,” Payback said under his breath

    “That'd wake any of us up,” Fanboy replied, nervously glancing at Nat. “Was she a drill sergeant in a past life?”

    ***

    Or, five times the daggers wake Bob up, and one time they can't get him to sleep.

    Summary

    In an alternate WWII where air combat is faster, deadlier, and more secretive than ever, a classified squadron trains in silence—operating beneath the public eye, far from the glory of headlines. Among them is Lt. Robert “Bob” Floyd, a soft-spoken yet brilliant backseater whose quiet presence belies a sharp mind and steady hand. When he's assigned to fly with a fiercely driven pilot known as Phoenix, Bob finds himself thrust into a world of high-stakes missions, buried grief, and fragile camaraderie.

    Under the shadow of war, Top Gun is reborn—not as a school, but as a proving ground for the best and most broken. As Bob and his team fight to stay one step ahead of the enemy, they’ll learn that not all battles are fought in the skies… and not all wounds bleed.

    Some heroes fly below the radar: unseen, unheard, but never forgotten.

    Summary

    Lieutenant Natasha Trace would like to say that she’s not a jumpy person, and for the most part that’s a fairly true statement. She gets startled, sure, and sometimes panic can choke her, but that’s a little different. With a callsign like Phoenix, you tend to want to live up to it, so Phoenix doesn’t scare easy and she isn’t jumpy.

    Usually.

    It’s a little different when it’s three in the morning and she’s just coming out of a nightmare.

    Summary

    Several hours had passed. Still no news.
    Some got up to get everyone something to eat or drink from the vending machine. Others went off again to ask questions that no one could answer. Some had even fallen asleep.
    Everything changed, however, when they heard hurried footsteps echoing in the hallway, coming at full speed toward the airmen.
    "Excuse me! Are Captain Mitchell and Lieutenant Bradshaw being treated here?"

    (Or : After the mission, the daggers are surprised to see someone else waiting for news.)

    Summary

    Bradley knows that Jake's solution is to just take someone who will help him not get mad at this horrible ex and cousin and ruin the wedding that is certainly of someone very dear to Jake, since if it wasn't him, he wouldn't even be going. That's when Bradley has an idea: he could very well be the person Jake takes.

    Summary

    " He existed in that strange in-between for a few weeks. Clothes purged from his father’s old wardrobe, hiding himself away in hopes that nobody would see the dark circles under his wet eyes. Mav and Ice tip-toed around him, trying to offer support but allow him the space to grieve. Until one day, he just snapped.

    He looked in the mirror one morning, and the curls around his face were just too long. His face was too delicate, too feminine, and his hair made it worse. Fury bubbled in his gut and tears welled in his eyes as he locked gazes with his reflection, staring at a stranger in his mirror. He didn’t know his name, but looking in that mirror, he knew the girl staring back was not him. "

    ----------

    aka, a misunderstanding occurs among the Daggers that leads most of them to believe that Mav and Bradley's tension is due to the fact that Bradley is trans. They couldn't be more wrong, and it leads Bradley to reminisce a little on his teen years when he wrestled with his own identity in silence.

    "Roo.”
    “Jake? Hey, hey, hey, what’s wrong? What’s going on?”
    At Rooster’s insistent questioning, the Dagger squad had abandoned their game of pool, now crowding around Maverick and Rooster, the latter with his phone pressed harder against his ear in an attempt to hear the younger man on the other side of the line.
    “Roo.” A wet cough could be heard. “H-help. Please.”

    Summary

    Before the suicide mission, a serial killer had been on the loose going after omega Navy men. Now, months after the mission and the squad being made permanent, the killer is still out there. It's been three years since he first popped up. With over a dozen bodies in his wake, the killer is a nightmare for every omega Navy serviceman.

    Jake "Hangman" Seresin is the Dagger Squadron's only omega team member. The last bout of killings happened in Texas, right before he'd been recalled to Top Gun. Jake managed to miss the man by the skin of his teeth.

    Now he's been stationed in another state. Nothing to worry about, right?
