    Summary

    Art’s sweating, but that’s almost certainly the sauna. He’s nearly motionless. He adjusts his seat on the wooden bench, and Patrick tries to read into the movement but fails. His gaze is as oppressive as the artificial heat. He could be speechless. Fifteen, love.

    But, alas, his response: “What happened in Atlanta?”

    or: au where tashi wasn't the only one who visited patrick that night in atlanta. patrick's living a charmed life!!

    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.)

    [Final edit 2/4/23. See Ch. 1 notes for major changes.]

    Summary

    After Goose's death during a fight with a kaiju, Maverick left the PPDC and didn't look back. But his self-destructive bender gets interrupted by Charlie Blackwood, showing up to invite him to participate in a brand-new weapons development program, codename Top Gun: the first two-pilot jaegers to ever be deployed in the fight to defend humanity. That means Maverick's going to have to get back in a piloting rig again—and he's going to have to do it while drifting with another pilot. Drift compatibility means getting each other, understanding each other, on a level nobody else can beat; so whoever his partner is, at least he's not going to get stuck with the Iceman, who pretty much hates him.

    Right?

    Summary

    The Pennsylvania heat beats down on Maverick—he can already feel the back of his neck turning red. That tender strip of skin between where his helmet ends and jacket begins. Not that the ride from Quantico to Goose's parents' place in Shenandoah is particularly long or arduous, but every time he makes the trip, he feels more than just the thrum of his motorcycle and the road turning craggy. It’s like a great, heavy weight lifting off his chest. Something looser and freer rattling around in there.

     

    or, the open road gives you a lot of time to think things through.
