Summary
Mav had been leaning against the open bar when he heard some twenty-something kid ask his friend who the old man was.
And with a smarmy, disrespectful little smirk, the kid tilted his head in Mav's direction and answered, “Oh, him? That’s Kazansky’s wife,” and his friend laughed at the answer.

Or; Maverick figures out what it means to live as the partner of the Secretary of the Navy.

Summary
"Did you know I had to find out you got shot down from my C.O. during a routine weekly debrief?"
Shit.
Mav flinched, shame bubbling uncomfortably in his gut. "No, I didn't."
(Or: Ice visits Mav while he's rehabbing from a mission-related injury - and everything about it is fine, Mav is fine, he's got a handle on his recovery AND very inconvenient feelings for Ice. Honest.)

Summary
Benji Dunn works as a physical therapist for all kinds of government agents. CIA, FBI, Secret Service— when anyone needs assistance getting their body back in order, they come to him. Periodically, though, a mysterious block appears on his schedule. No name, no medical history, nothing but the characters BE11.
The year is 1996, and Benji meets Ethan Hunt under very different circumstances. And the ripples pull wider and wider as time moves on, until the familiar image becomes something new.
A quick lesson on broken bones: If they heal wrong, you're going to have to break them again.

Summary
Nonsensically, as the Admiral steps up to the podium, the first thing that Maverick notices is that he’s wearing his wedding ring. The second thing he notices is that Tom’s looking at him, too. And, of course, he recognizes him. There’s a brief flash of panic in his gaze before he’s turning a wide, disarming smile on the group at large - his reaction to Maverick disappearing under a veneer of civility and professionalism in an instant.
A Sugar Daddy Iceman AU.

Summary
Slider leans back on the heels of his palms and doesn’t bother making eye contact. There’s an old fan that spins above them in lazy circles and casts shadows against the wall and the ceiling.
“I can put the pieces together, you know.” He mumbles. “Dead and disgraced military dad with an even deader mom. Put into the system. Labeled a lost cause. Always something to prove.”
“So what did they do, when you tried to prove what you already knew?”

The conversation Slider and Maverick get to have at the end of ch.5 of "you've got something in your teeth kid"

Summary
"Pen," he sighed, "you know if I show up by myself, Ice will give me that concerned 'I'm worried about you' look and Sarah will try to set me up with even more of her friends, and I would really rather not spend the whole night fending off a bunch of bored suburban divorcées." All lovely women, but they weren't remotely what he was looking for in a partner.
"I'll go as your date."
They both turned to see Jake giving Mav a benign smile. "Sorry, couldn't help but overhear," he said, and gave Penny a boyish wink that Mav couldn't even begin to decipher.
In which Mav needs a date to Ice and Sarah's vows renewal celebration, Jake volunteers his services, and this just might be the start of a beautiful relationship.

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
As much as Nate wanted to convince himself that he could leave everything that had happened to him in the past five years behind, make a clean cut and get on with his life, he couldn’t quite make himself believe it. The signs of his old life bleeding into his new one were too obvious - his former team leader pretending to be asleep in the passenger seat next to him only the most glaring one.

Summary
This was not a normal day. This day existed to prove that hell was real and it came with musical accompaniment by will.i.am. On this day, Steve figured out how to get him out of the office and torment him at the same time by sending him to the godforsaken DNC where it was all 'we shall overcome,' oh-happy-day bullshit.
Which merely justified Brad's hatred of the world and everyone in it.

Summary
Mav doesn’t notice it in the chaos of the rescue team trying to pick them, doesn’t register the fact that there are more figures than could possibly fit in the chopper. He just watches as the blurry figures stand, watching Goose. He screams at them, asking why they aren’t helping him, how they could just be standing there.
Or
Mav can see ghosts. It changes things.

Summary
Ted Lasso is not a perfect man. Far from it, in fact. He’s a man of many regrets, something that’s not likely to change anytime soon.
Seeing Jamie Tartt staring up at him with such a defeated look on his face, the boot that was chucked at his head and only narrowly missed flopped idly on its side next to him, makes something clench up in Ted’s chest.
For just a moment, he’s sixteen again, just a few seconds too late and fucking devastated. And then someone, Jamie’s dad, if he even deserves to be called that, is in his face again and Ted can’t see him anymore. In that split second, where Jamie’s slumped shouldered frame and hollow eyes disappear, Ted is forty-five once more, and he refuses to have this regret added to the tally.
Ted pushes the door open.
