Summary
Maverick doesn’t regret it when he takes the hit, when the last thing he hears before he ejects is Rooster screaming his name.
But then he wakes. Not to a vast, white snowfield behind enemy lines—but to an inverted cockpit of an F-14.
And to Goose, alive and well in the seat behind him.
—
Or; the time-travel fix-it in which TG:M Maverick wakes up at the start of TG (1986).

Summary
“You know,” Bradley says, “I’ve never actually gone to bed with someone twice.”
“Don’t worry, Bradshaw," Jake tells him. “Your status as an unrepentant manwhore is well established by now. Double-dipping just this once hardly has me hearing wedding bells.”
“Look, maybe I really am that big an asshole—”
“You are,” Jake confirms with a lazy shrug.
"Pot meet kettle," Bradley says pointedly.
—
“Fucking hell, Hangman,” Crosseye mutters darkly. “What crawled up your ass and died?”
(The redhead in the impossibly short, garishly neon orange dress who has her arms draped around Bradshaw’s shoulders like a limpet—)
Jake scowls at him—or maybe at Bradshaw’s pending bedpost notch. It’s hard to say given that they’re both in his line of sight.

Summary
Seresin men love with reckless abandon. It’s put every man before him in the ground.
Jake refuses to be buried.
He flies like he has nothing left to lose (he doesn’t), a one man army (he is), leaving everyone else in the dust (so they don’t leave him). Admiral Kazansky claps him on the shoulder, says he expects great things from him, and Jake’s smile is feral as the rest of his flight school cohort looks on in disbelief.
Hangman, they all say, like Jake’s entire personality was a long con, and he ranks first in class.
Rooster doesn’t look at all.
(They've got history spanning the better part of a decade and they are absolutely, positively not over it.)

Her fingers don’t want to let go. If she asked her psychiatrist about it, he’d tell her it’s a trauma response. Something about her limbic system, muscle memory from that first EF5.
“I won’t let you go anywhere. I have you Kate. I need you to trust me. I have you now. I promise. Once you let go of the pipe, grab onto my wrist. Okay?”

Summary
All it took was an eagle-eyed viewer spotting a familiar landmark or fast-food joint in the background, and then everyone in the live chat knew where they were.
Which is how Kate ended up here, now, crashing from a post-chase high with her hand curled around the cool neck of her third round of whatever crappy beer the bar had on special, glaring daggers into the backs of a gaggle of line dancers that surround one Tyler Owens, the Tornado Wrangler.
Kate's a little jealous and a lot drunk. Or maybe a lot jealous and a little drunk?

“I’m not saying that he’s bitchy because he’s gay, I’m saying he’s bitchy,” Eddie retorts. “Like his soul is bitchy. He just also happens to be gay — it’s unrelated. I don’t think you should go. I don’t like him.”
Or, Buck goes on a date with Josh. It's the worst day of Eddie's life.

It’s not like he’s new to nightmares. These are different, leaving him unsteady and raw as a wound. Alex doesn’t know if he’s able to get back to sleep after he wakes like this, but he’s never been eager to try. He doesn’t wake up like this every night, but now that he’s back in Urzikstan, it’s certainly enough.
Or, Alex has nightmares. So does Farah.

Summary
He wades in it now, eyes still open, fixed on the speckled ceiling, begging himself not to crave bomb blasts and artillery fire in his childhood bedroom. Although…there might be something beautiful about it all, Johnny supposes, those noises in the thick. The gasps in between discharge that say: I’m here, I’m a part of this song too.
After a near-fatal injury, John MacTavish finds himself back in his hometown in Scotland. Fresh off an untimely discharge, he's forced to cope with disability, his dysfunctional family, and the lingering knowledge that there are some things he's just not ready to leave behind...

If Soap weren't completely in love with one Simon “Ghost” Riley, he would probably kill him.
He might still do. He hasn’t decided yet.
To be fair, he’s still in shock. It all happened so suddenly.
OR— Ghost, back from a six day mission, collapses from exhaustion in the middle of a conversation with Soap. It's about as pathetic as it sounds.

Summary
Really, Eddie doesn’t care that the PTA aren’t his biggest fan. He knows he misses too many meetings, and it’s not like he’s best friends with any of the other parents. It doesn’t affect Christopher, so it doesn’t bother him. He’ll pay for the annual fundraising mugs and consider his duty done.
But then Buck picks Christopher up from a class trip and it all goes to hell.
Like, of course Buck is everyone’s dream guy. He’s responsible with kids, and kind, and funny and interesting and hot to touch. That’s obvious. But now Eddie’s fighting to keep the PTA moms, teachers, and dads, all off an unsuspecting and tempting Buck.
Because Eddie is a good friend. Right?

That is, until he mentions it in a fit of self-pity at the firehouse. Then they're everywhere. What he can't work out is where they're coming from.
(or: Buck mentions never getting flowers before, and a certain someone decides to remedy that.)

Summary
“I think,” he says, watching Karen pull Hen out onto the dance floor, their eyes never leaving each other’s, “I think I’m just—sad.”
Maybe. That feels like a close enough word to describe this gaping maw right in the center of his chest. It’s only really there sometimes, taking little bites out of him, easy enough to ignore, but today is worse.
“About being single at a wedding,” Eddie says, not a question.
Buck shrugs. “Sounds stupid when you put it that way.”
or, the one with the four weddings (feat. a drunk karen wilson, shania twain, a single cheerio, and some confessions over cubed fruit).

Summary
"But the worst—or the best, because obedience feels so good, it feels indulgent, like a reward—is when the words are already out of Ghost’s mouth before he can stop them, when he realizes halfway through that he’s said something irreversible."
Ghost is sure everyone can tell how he feels, and he's stopped trying to hide it.

Summary
Ghost and Soap take their time moving too fast, and Ghost learns to accept what he already knows. Fifteen thousand words of domestic porn.
(Part Two of the Familiar series, which starts with Familiar as a Bottle and a Glass)
Ghost was helpless against his own smile. His hands itched to grab at Soap, itched to pull him in, he wanted to bury his face in the crook of Soap’s neck and breathe in all the deep, sleep-warm scents of him, wanted to throw him up against the wall, wanted to rip him apart from the inside out, find a place in his body and make a home there, break him into a million pieces and patch him back together using himself as the glue.
