Summary
“You said you need a pilot, ma’am? Captain Pete Mitchell, United States Navy. I’ve been an aviator for 35 years.”
She can feel her eyes watering up in relief. Thank you, God, she sends heavenward, into the clouds even higher than their cruising altitude.
“Can you fly an A320?”
Captain Mitchell smiles at her and, good lord, he really is a miracle.
“Ma’am, if it has wings, I can fly it,” he winks and adds, “Hell, I can probably manage even if it doesn’t.”
-
Or; Maverick's red-eye flight home to San Diego is more eventful than he might have hoped.

Summary
Ice may have earned his callsign for his technique in the air, but Maverick has to imagine half the students think Ice got it from his ability to dole out brutal freeze-burning remarks.
Well. Leave it to the Iceman to find a way to make his callsign define him through and through.
_______
From the moment they met, Mav knew Kazansky had a mouth on him. It isn't until they're both instructors at TOPGUN, though, that Mav learns just how brutal Ice can be.
One thing's for sure: Maverick's never bored, teaching alongside Iceman. He's just not sure he's going to survive the job unscathed, himself.

Summary
Ice honestly isn’t sure what, exactly, he’d been expecting upon his entrance to the kitchen—an explosion of some sort, a new construction project that would go unfinished until Ice got annoyed with it and called a professional in to finish it, a dead body—honestly, the possibilities were endless—but it isn't almost being bowled over by a black and brown blur that’s covered in something dark and wet and Maverick yelling at said blur, that upon closer inspection, is a dog. More specifically, a puppy. Even more specifically, a puppy that's covered in mud. And getting said mud all over Ice’s freshly pressed uniform.
“Maverick.” Ice manages, trying to wrestle away from the eager puppy, who’s tongue is hell bent on licking every square inch of his face. He doges an overexcited attempt at his eyeball, narrowly avoiding getting blinded by an uncoordinated paw. “Why is there a dog in our house?”
or-
Maverick adopts a dog and Ice is just a long for the ride.

Summary
"But seriously, if I was the settling down type, you meet both requirements."
Mav's eyebrows rose to his hairline. "And what are those exactly?"
Jake summoned his most flirtatious, smug grin. "Great with your dick and great with a stick."
