Summary
He holds out his hand. “Jake.”
Bradshaw looks at him like he’s the dumbest man alive, his gaze sharpening with condescension. “You’re my engineer, I know who you are.”
“So sue me for being polite.”
His jaw works, but after an interminable second he steps forward and takes Jake’s hand. “Bradley.”
Jake hangs onto the handshake for an extra second and smirks. “Such an honor to meet you in person. The king of IndyCar, finally gracing us with his presence here in F1. Can’t believe it.”

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
*Now with epilogue!
Occasionally Tyler speculated on the words on his right hip and the city girl that might be attached to them. Was his soulmate really from New York of all places? And why, when he finally met her, did she act like nothing happened? He’s got to know, and the Wranglers have a few thoughts as well. ❤️
**
Tyler frowned a little. Kate hadn’t cracked an inch, except for a slight waver when she said New York. He was willing to bet good money she was hoping against hope that he didn’t have those words.
That was almost hurtful. If he was less sure of himself, it might even sting.
But by the time she said it, he’d clocked her reluctance, her poker face. Whether it was personal or not, he wasn’t the kind of guy to force her in the moment. He had more game than that, and besides, what kind of story would that be to tell their grandkids?
Maybe she pretended she didn’t have his words because of his reputation, or maybe she was one of those who resented the idea of soulmates, or maybe she just wanted him to try a little harder… Whatever it was, he was gonna find out.- Language:

Summary
Stede stands on the warm sand at the beach, stripped of his luxurious coat and impractical shoes, his hair pushed off his face from where he'd slicked it back while using seawater to clean away the pigs blood. He breathes deeply and takes a moment to grieve the life he's about to leave behind for good.
Just a moment, and a moment only.
He closes his eyes against the warmth of the setting sun, and inhales the salty spray of water as a wave crashes on the shore; the ocean advancing and receding, beckoning him forward.
Calling him home.

Summary
Just when Maven Calore thought his life couldn't get any worse, it did.
Captured once again, Maven's dragged away to a far away kingdom with the purpose of becoming a pet, but not just anyone's pet. The newly crowned king requires a very specific companion, and Maven meets all of the qualifications.
With the rest of the world out for his head, Maven only has two choices: Escape these chains and run back into the lands that want him dead, or break under the king's rule.
Maven knows his answer. There's no way he's breaking anymore.
