Summary
Goose has been dead for a week and a half when Iceman loses his first wingman in a dogfight with six Soviet MiGs over the Sea of Okhotsk.
Goose has been dead for thirty years when Iceman loses his second wingman to a surface-to-air missile on the tail-end of a mission he's responsible for: he's sent his family on a suicide mission to destroy a uranium enrichment facility in Russia's Far East.
This is the story of those thirty years in the middle.
(Or: Tom Kazansky rises through the ranks while trying to stay a good man. If he ever was one to begin with.)

Summary
“Everyone at the Nest had their toxic distraction. Kevin’s was alcohol. Jean’s was the pills. Riko—well, I think Riko just got off by beating everyone.”
Andrew hums and exhales. The smoke curls around the two of them. “What’s yours?”
Nathaniel blinks. “My what?”
“Your toxic distraction.”
A wicked grin cuts across Nathaniel’s face. He doesn’t try to hide it. He wants Andrew to see. “Now or then?”
Andrew raises an eyebrow, but that is the only noticeable change in his expression. “Can’t be an addict if you’re inconsistent.”
“Not an addict. A junkie.”
*****
Nathaniel Wesninski was dragged back. Left with a pile of debt to pay off if he wants to live, Nathaniel has no choice but to embrace the life he tried to run from, including the implications that come with it—which he soon learns are far greater than he imagined.
When something goes wrong amongst the Moriyamas, Nathaniel finds himself in Palmetto with an order to bring Kevin Day back to the Nest. Too bad he’s never been much of a rule-follower.

Summary
Before he knows it, he and Lance have overstayed their welcome at the afterparty bar, too, and Lance says, “I’d invite you up to my room, but I’m pretty sure Hunk is passed out right now,” and before Keith can second-guess it, he says, “I have beer in mine, if you still want to catch up.”
Which is weird. Since when do he and Lance catch up? Keith has no idea. He also has no idea what they’ve been talking about, other than anything and everything that’s not Shiro and the fact that he’s marrying someone who isn’t—
Fuck.

Summary
The Pros were never in the cards. Not for an ex-medicated alleged psychotic with a dysfunctional family and an Exy career he’d rather not have. But even if it wasn't his first choice, no matter what happens, it can’t possibly be worse than that one fucked up sophomore year when he stood toe to toe with the Yakuza-and won.
At least, that’s what Andrew thinks until a familiar face shows up.
Another Raven!Neil AU. Or, the one where the boys don’t meet until the Pros.

Summary
Sakusa Kiyoomi lives his life in certainties. He is certain that he’s the best high school ace in Japan in only his second year. He is certain that bacteria double every 20 minutes and that high schoolers have gone long enough without cleaning themselves and their things that they might as well be a booming metropolitan for the germ community. He is certain that Umeboshi is the best thing that humanity has to offer. Well, that and hand sanitizer.
The ten assumptions Kiyoomi makes about Atsumu and himself and the times he's proven wrong. Set against the backdrop of Creep -- the cover by Post Modern Jukebox.

Summary
Regulus Black miraculously survives the cave of Inferi. There isn't a single soul that he trusts, given that his brother is now locked up as a Death Eater Sympathizer and James Potter is dead.
James Potter.
The single most loyal person that Regulus Black had ever had the unfortunate luck to meet. He was annoying, and loud, and impossibly Gryffindor, but James would have done anything to win the war.
Even working with his best mate's baby brother, the real Death Eater.
A semi-dark, enemies to lovers, time travel, Jegulus tale without the guarantee of a happy ending.

Summary
Regulus sat up, unaware of his surroundings, and his mind went to water. Not just water, but drowning—hands scratching his body and violating him, pulling him further until he had to take in the dirty fluid to his abused lungs.
So, finding Dorcas Meadowes staring at him with a hard glare from the opposite seat of the Hogwarts Express took him by surprise. One of the most powerful wizards in the Order sat in front of him, and all Regulus could think about was a major sense of déjà vu.
This had happened once before.

Summary
If someone had asked Regulus Black what his biggest regret was, he would be caught between letting Sirius leave him behind in Grimmauld Place or becoming a member of a fanatical pureblood supremacist cult.
He had thought perhaps one day he could fix all of the words unsaid and apologies not yet given. But walking into a cave and drowning put a damper on that.
Until fate aligns and he finds himself back in 1975, the night that Sirius had run away and been blasted off the tapestry by Regulus' own wand. The night when everything had begun to tear at the seams, when Walburga and Orion Black had sold the spare to the Cause, a poor replacement for what the Dark Lord had been promised.
Regulus has to decide if he's willing to regret losing his brother all over again or else draw the wrath of both the Death Eaters and the House of Black.

Summary
“You may be a goofy guy from Earth, but if there’s anyone who can support Allura during this it’s you,” Keith finally says, turning away from the sunset to meet his eyes. It makes Lance’s heart race and he swallows drily, hoping the blush that creeping on his face isn’t visible under Kosmo’s fur. “The annoying, stupid, Earth version of you.”
While Honerva destroys realities, Lance finds himself going back in time to do things differently and is enlisted in helping an unlikely friend save the universe.
