    Summary

    Phoenix pinches the bridge of her nose. “One night. One night without whatever all this is. My kingdom for one night.”

    “There’s no all this!” Rooster protests. Like a liar.

    Hangman takes his arm back, slides off his chair and goes back to the dart board. Rooster tries not to feel cold.

    “Of course not, Rooster,” Hangman says, just short of condescendingly. “I could never bring a yankee home, and I respect you too much to hit it and quit it.”

    Or

    5 times Rooster didn’t tell Hangman where he was from + 1 time he did

    Summary

    Dr. Bradshaw scans Jake’s file, no doubt seeing the long list of previous visits, ranging from a fishing hook in his hand (an unfortunate accident) to when he collapsed from dehydration (he had an undiagnosed bout of bronchitis). He glances back at Jake, keeping his face tilted down. The whole thing shows Jake just how long the doctor’s eyelashes are.

    “Yes, I can see you have more tenure here than I do. Rest assured, Mr. Seresin. You’re in good hands.”

    Summary

    Jake Seresin is the best of the best. He’s always been, because he hadn’t ever let himself be anything else.

    In high school, that meant being the varsity swim team captain and graduating top of his class. At the Naval Academy, that meant being the fastest 200 meter freestyle swimmer they’d ever seen, meant being Valedictorian of his class and graduating with an aerospace engineering degree. At the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station, it meant getting the top scores, it meant being sent to Top Gun. In the Navy, it meant being the only current generation Navy pilot to have a confirmed air combat kill since Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell.

    He’s worked hard to be where he’s at today and he’s never been afraid to flaunt it.

    Even if it means that his only constant, his only comfort, is the ghosts of the people he’s lost that dog his every move.

    -

    This is a story about how Jake collects Admirals as father figures, falls in love, loses people, and comes out on top.

    Summary

    Rooster is called back to Top Gun along with 11 other pilots for an important mission.
    Not only does he have to deal with the unresolved issues with Maverick now the Captain is going to be the one training them, but he's also been assigned to live with the one person who seemingly lives to infuriate him; Hangman.

    He'll be lucky if he even makes it to fly in the mission in the first place.

    (Or, my alternate take on the events of Top Gun: Maverick if Rooster was made to live with Hangman).

    Summary

    Then

    Margaret and Philip Buckley did not want to raise children well into their forties. That's why they had Maddie and Daniel when they did. While they did plan to have Evan, in the moment, they didn't think of how it would mess up the rest of their life plans. So, when Maddie left for college, they decided sending Evan to the Army and Navy Academy in California would be for the best. Little did they know that this was one of the best things they could do for their youngest child, because not long into his second semester, he ran into Admiral Tom "Iceman" Kazansky.

    Now

    Buck did not think he would ever go back to the Navy. Not after that last disastrous mission. Not after he found a new team and family in LA. Not after he started to put down roots. But Buck never thought someone would plant a bomb on a fire truck. He never thought he would be at ground zero of a tsunami. He never thought he would have to fight for his job or that others would become bitter and hateful about him trying to get back to work.

    So when he gets a call from his Pops that he's needed down at Top Gun. Well, it's not like he's doing much with the 118 now, and it's not like he could say no to the COMPACFLT anyway...
