    Summary

    “Captain Mitchell, Lieutenant Bradshaw, Admiral Kazansky is here and wants to talk with you two.”

    Bradley almost grins, but he does his best to school his face into a worried expression. It will be so much funnier this way. He glances at Maverick, and he’s glad to see he’s had the same idea.

    ---------

    They've made up. Bradley has his Dad, both of his dads, in his life again. When his Pops comes to visit, him and his Dad decide to have a little fun.

    Summary

    "Alright, aviators, now that we're all here, the exercise will begin momentarily. As briefed, this is a TopGun classic - dogfighting. Guns only, no missiles. Working with your wingman, you must shoot down all bogies. The last pilot or pilots standing are the winners. Understand?"
    Once the Daggers have all murmured agreements, Mav turns his head to look at Ice. "You ready, Ice?"
    "Let's do this, Mav," Ice replies.
    "What the
    fuck?" comes Jake's voice first, followed by Bob’s, "is that Admiral Kazansky?"
    "Fight’s on," Mav calls before anyone can say anything else. "Let's turn and burn, baby!"

    Mav challenges the Daggers to a dog-fight against him and his wingman. Only - he doesn't tell them who his wingman is going to be, and it isn't until they're in the air that they realise the legend the Iceman is there with them.

    Summary

    Pete Mitchell is a firework- explosive and dangerous and the shit he does should probably be illegal. But instead of getting himself kicked out, time and time again Molly is left filling out paperwork cleaning up Captain Mitchell’s messes for some ungodly reason. What that reason is, is known only to God and to “Maverick’s guardian angel” that the higher-ups keep talking about.

    Summary

    "Woah," Maverick said, stumbling backward until he bumped into the wall. The events of last night rushed back to him in a sudden, overpowering wave, and he braced a hand against the wall. "You're…real?"

    Goose looked up from the newspaper he was reading. There was a cup of coffee sitting next to him, still steaming. He raised an eyebrow, his mustache twitching briefly. "Depends. Are you real?"

    Summary

    The Pennsylvania heat beats down on Maverick—he can already feel the back of his neck turning red. That tender strip of skin between where his helmet ends and jacket begins. Not that the ride from Quantico to Goose's parents' place in Shenandoah is particularly long or arduous, but every time he makes the trip, he feels more than just the thrum of his motorcycle and the road turning craggy. It’s like a great, heavy weight lifting off his chest. Something looser and freer rattling around in there.

     

    or, the open road gives you a lot of time to think things through.

    Maverick and Rooster run into a patrol on their way to steal the F-14 and the fallout of that scenario. Thank God for the SEALs. (Also, soft!Cyclone bonus points met lmao.)

    Warning: This story is very violent compared to most of my usual stories. It took me the longest to write and it’s the longest one on my index. Hope y'all enjoy!

    Summary

    For entirely selfish reasons Jake is glad that Mav picked him and not Rooster to be on this Mission. Because Rooster would never have survived this.

    “No — plea —”

    Comes Maverick’s choked and then cut off cry from the cell across the way. Hangman closed his eyes and sought refuge in the corner to hide his face, just like he has many times before this, trying to escape the sounds of his commanding officer being pushed to the very limits of his endurance. And obviously beyond them.

    ----------------------------

    “Are they sure he’s dead? That both of them are dead?” Viper had asked, grilling Slider over the phone. It appeared that Slider had been elected out of all of the FlyBoy’s to break the news.

    “The report says —”

    “I don’t care what the damn report says!” Viper had growled, already seeing the lines being drawn and the proper amount of distance being put between the commanding officer’s and any sort of blame. “Have they sent anyone in to make sure?”

    Summary

    Hesitating a moment, Goose eventually called softly, unable to knock since it was a curtain.

    “Hey,” the sniffling stopped abruptly. “Hey, kid.” Silence descended. “You okay?”

    “. . . whatta you care?” Was the petulant answer. About as fierce as a kitten, really. A memory rising to the surface of Goose’s mind. A memory of the first time he’d met Maverick and helped him fend off several guys who were trying to beat on him simply for existing.

    “Just call me a concerned citizen,” Goose shrugged though he knew the kid couldn’t see it.

    “Doesn’t matter,” the kid muttered, sounding lost and resigned, plucking at Goose’s heartstrings.

    “Can I come in there, kiddo?” Goose asked softly, no about to go where he wasn’t wanted.

    “. . . I ain’t stopping you.”

    -------------------------------

    AU of my 'Illustrious Waterfowl' AU. Goose lives in this one, as described in the first part. And I decided I wanted Jake to get adopted by Goose even before he ends up at the Academy. Jake is still about four or five years younger than Bradley.

    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)

    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.)

    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

    The sweater that she’d packed for him is actually Mav’s, an old Navy sweater that had once been Duke Mitchell’s and is one of the only things Mav has left of him. Goose drapes the fabric over his own head, shoving his nose in the collar and inhaling the scent that clings to the sweater deeply. It still smells faintly of smoke from the bonfire they’d had on the beach just a few nights ago, but mostly it smells like Mav’s strange scent combination of jet fuel and the ocean spray.

    Hop 31 doesn't happen exactly the same. Instead of Goose dying, Maverick hits his head on the canopy during ejection, leaving his RIO in limbo, not knowing whether the pilot will awaken or not.

    This work is HEAVILY HEAVILY inspired by "My RIO, My Responsibility" by PurpleArrowzandLeather
    If you haven't read that one yet, you definitely should because it's amazing!!!

    Summary

    To his credit, Maverick makes it to the bathroom before he finally loses his dinner, and he does manage to get it into a trashcan at least, even if he doesn’t make it to the toilet in time. He feels momentary relief after his stomach is finally emptied, rinsing his mouth with the shitty tap water that tastes slightly of dirt and other unnamed minerals he doesn’t want to know about.
    OR
    Obligatory sickfic! Maverick gets sick, Goose finds out and takes care of him!

    I don't know anything about the Navy so please forgive me for any inaccurate information regarding terminology or anything else!

    Summary

    “I’m a RIO. They haven’t assigned me a pilot yet, but I’d fly with you any day over the rest of these assholes.” The man admits with a small smile. Pete narrows his eyes at Nick, a frown playing on his lips.

    Nick "Goose" Bradshaw meets Pete "Maverick" Mitchell in a locker room fight and a beautiful friendship is born of it.

    I don't know anything about the Navy! Please be kind!
