    Summary

    Maverick has never left him behind, not once, not since they flew that first mission together on the Layton. Every flight they’ve flown, whether it’s recon or a dogfight, Maverick has been doggedly on his wing. Maverick’s been chewed out for it before, ignoring his own return-to-base orders to help Ice out of many a bind, and now, when the chips are down, Ice is powerless to return the favor. He can’t help Maverick from the sky, but leaving without him feels like sawing off his own limb.

    (or—Top Gun: Maverick wasn't the first time that Mav took a missile for someone he loves)

    Summary

    On the night before his first day at TOP GUN, Hangman flirts with an older man in a bar who makes him feel connected to himself in a way he hasn't experienced since leaving home.

    Hangman isn’t expecting the man to walk in as his new course instructor.

    Rooster vows to resist him for the thirteen weeks Hangman will be his student, but from the moment they see each other again, Hangman refuses to make it easy with his unabashed desire to have him.

    Summary

    "I would have expected to see you in the cockpit," Payback started, as Jake tried to keep his attention on the radio chatter. Harvard, Yale, and Fritz were up there.

    He was not going to take the bait. He was not going to give them that satisfaction.

    "Well, maybe the brass finally share our conclusions. That you cannot be trusted up there," Phoenix went on, just as coldly as Payback.

    "You finally screwed up enough to be grounded?" Fanboy asked. "Or is it because of Bee's death?"

    At the mention of his wingman's callsign, his grip tightened around the pen and clipboard he had in hand. He had heard it all before, the gossip, the accusations, but never from people he had once considered his family.

    "I received orders," he answered, stoically, eyes still glued on the radio. "I'm here to teach, to lead you to success. That's it."

    "Bagman, the only place you'll lead anyone is an early grave," Rooster stepped in, anger clear as day in his voice.

     

    🛩️ Permanently grounded and wingless, Hangman must team up with Maverick to prepare the Dagger Squad for the suicide mission. Will they be able to set aside their feelings or crash and burn before they even fly that mission?

    Summary

    Nobody thought their actions back in the winter of '85 and beyond would end up having these consequences.
    A story woven from past mistakes, indecisions and loss that eventually helped shape his world and upbringing.
    But despite all the hardships one thing was for certain, Jake Seresin was destined to fly and he knew the Navy was where he belonged.

    A slightly altered kind of retelling that includes Jake 'Hangman' Seresin being Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky’s lost son, a story about revelations, love, loss, friendship and most importantly family.
    The story says OC but that only counts for some of the past event chapters. Eventually sticks to Rooster/Hangman.
    Tags were updated as the story progressed in order to avoid spoilers, but no more. Canon characters have been added as the story progressed.
    Starts pre-movie and continues on into Top Gun: Maverick and will move on beyond.
