Summary
Maverick was looking at him again. Staring, more like it.
Iceman could feel the weight of his gaze, even in the darkened room, as Viper and Blackwood went through the latest results. It had been the same for the past couple days, ever since that one hop.
When Maverick gets thrown back in time to save Goose's life, Iceman has to deal with the consequences to his own life. He falls into a downward spiral, loses Top Gun, then learns that not everything is as it seems and that for the right person, risks are worth taking.

Summary
The thing about time rifts was that, while most people who’d ever sailed a boat or flown a plane had heard of them, almost nobody believed in them. They were like UFOs or the Bermuda Triangle in that way.
Two years after Top Gun, Maverick encounters an urban legend, gets thrown back in time, and saves Goose's life. It doesn't fix things the way he thought it would. Goose is alive, but he hasn't forgotten what it's like to grieve for him. Goose is by his side, but Iceman doesn't even know him anymore.

Summary
The Navy has an urban legend: the time rift. Like UFOs and the Bermuda Triangle, they have their proponents, but most people don't believe in them. Maverick doesn't believe in them, until he encounters one.
The stories go like this: fly or sail through a rift, and you might be thrown back in time to an earlier point in your life, to correct something that went wrong.

Summary
This series follows the many adventures of Toni Stark.
The Limitations of Wax is the main and still ongoing story in the series.
The other stories in the series are AU's and what-if scenarios that can be read in any order and have little to no impact on the main storyline.
I advise that you start with LoW and then move from there, reading what AUs intrigue you as you go.

Summary
The confident façade melting into nervousness was almost painful to watch. Too young, Tom reminded himself. Not nearly old enough to look as broken as he did.
“It's okay,” he whispered, lifting up the boy's chin with two fingers. “You'll have it.”
Or: Maverick gets into trouble, and Tom becomes the worst version of himself.

Summary
25 days after a routine training exercise met a bird strike met an ejection gone slightly wrong. The concussion was ancient history, the ankle only hurt if he forgot to ice it, and the doctor had officially let him ditch the sling for his collarbone three days ago.
Almost four full weeks later. Mav was standing at his front door with his hands shoved into his pockets. The way he normally did. The way Ice had spent 25 days wishing he would.
