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
Ejecting isn’t something one ever gets used to. Well, most Pilots never had to eject one single time in their entire career. Not one Pilot Maverick knew from flight school or his Top Gun class ever had to eject. But here he was, at Mach 10.4, pulling the ejection handles once again.
This time, it was his fault.
As Hondo told him, the contract threshold is Mach 10. Not Mach 10.1, not Mach 10.2, Mach 10. He had to do it for the program, he had to keep the program alive. Not for himself, but for everyone else working on the hypersonic program.

Summary
Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.
Faith.
His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.
"I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.
I remember you.
I remember you.
I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.
(A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)
