    Summary

    He finds the droid on accident.

    Well, that’s a lie. What Finn actually finds is a mess of wires and rusted parts that look like they could have once been parts of a droid a long time ago.

    Maybe. Possibly.

    Finn didn’t really care, to be honest. He just felt a pang in his heart when he saw the poor, broken, mess of a thing forgotten in the corner of the Resistance base and thought: It doesn’t deserve that.

    Summary

    "Hi," he says, and he shifts onto his tiptoes to kiss Poe properly. "You're covered in grease."
    "I know," Poe says, and he steals another kiss. "It really adds to my roguish charm, don't you think?"
    Finn's laugh is loud and full, and both of their smiles are in the way when he goes for a third kiss. "At the risk of boosting your ego even more," Finn says, "dirty mechanic is a good look for you."

    Summary

    The first time Geralt brought Jaskier home for the winter, he neglected to mention a significant detail about his bard.

     

    Perched on Geralt’s shoulder, there was a tiny songbird with black and yellow feathers. It chirped at them in greeting.

    Geralt gestured at the bird. “Eskel, Lambert, meet Jaskier. Jaskier, these are my brothers.”

    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

    Draco Malfoy attends the Annual Alpha Display to do two things - get his mother and Pansy to stop nagging him about attending and to (hopefully) spread the word about his shop, Tactful Tailors. What he doesn't anticipate is seeing Harry Potter, then seeing him again... and again... and again.

    Summary

    Sentimental Moment Or Why Did The Baguette Cross The Road?
    by Robert Herschon

    Don't fill up on bread
    I say absent-mindedly
    The servings here are huge

    My son, whose hair may be
    receding a bit, says
    Did you really just
    say that to me?

    What he doesn't know
    is that when we're walking
    together, when we get
    to the curb
    I sometimes start to reach
    for his hand

    Summary

    Arthur knows he's dying, can feel the unstoppable pull of it, feels the spirit appear behind him to take him along. And yet, he finds he does not want to die. There is so much that went wrong, so much he regrets and he wishes, with all his being, he could change it. Could at least ensure those that managed to get away really make it out alive.

    A second chance, he asks, begs, really. Just give me the chance to save them.

    The being behind him pauses and Arthur can't look away from the moment he's frozen in, staring at the dark mountainside, aching to see the sun rise just one more time.

    One chance, the spirit seems to whisper, voice satin soft. Make the most of it.

    Summary

    “You all played well together today,” Maverick said, calling everyone’s attention. “Don’t forget that you can. Now, my husband invited everyone back to ours tonight for dinner. Please, everyone, come. He wants to get a chance to properly meet you all. I’ll text you all the address.”

    Rooster's phone buzzed in his pocket. Pulling it out, it was a text from Maverick in the team group chat with an address.

    He didn’t need to look at it. He knew the address by heart.

    Summary

    Walking at night around the Mojave was one of the closest things Maverick had to a supernatural experience with his feet on the ground. There was the ever-present edge of potential danger presented by his solitude in raw nature in the dark of night. And it was just enough of an edge to make the quiet more rejuvenating and the stars all that more brilliant above him. When sleep alluded him or betrayed him into memories or equally-as-horrific possibilities, Mav padded around the sand and let his loneliness and his smallness be comforted by a universe that was bigger even than the shrapnel still lodged in his heart.

    Having a bunch of young aviators surrounding his bed in sickbay, squabbling over petty nothings, watching Mav fall asleep as the meds took him, was... It was embarrassing. It was heart-warming. It was...

    It wasn’t walking outside in the Mojave, but Mav thought maybe it was time to trade in the lonely desert nights for something better.

    Bradley and Maverick have that talk. After another series of events, including ballroom dancing lessons and a group movie night in the Mojave and a revelation or several.

    Summary

    Reconciliation fic - cause I’m a sucker for ‘em. Takes place a few years before the film. Ice has cancer and isn’t able to keep as close of an eye on Maverick, who’s getting harassed on his latest deployment by a superior officer who hates Mav’s guts (for whatever reason). Rooster has ended up deployed on the same carrier and he overhears their superior verbally and physically abusing his godfather. Cue protective Rooster. (Hopefully, this scenario isn’t something that actually happens, but I needed an actual plot, so I ended up with some Navy corruption.)

    Summary

    Anyone else ever wonder how Maverick & Hondo became friends? It would've taken someone who knew Mav pretty well to say "Don't do it" at Mach 10.1 and follow him all the way back to Top Gun and then to another carrier detachment.

    This is a story about friendship, about loyalty, about Hondo turning a blind eye to rule-breaking and about Hondo witnessing Mav's relationship with Bradley. And also about Ice pulling strings.

When matched with Yennefer? He was living in a dream, and he could only wait helplessly until he had to wake up.

    Right before Bradley leaves for UVA, his mom hands him a cell phone. It’s some Nokia, heavy as a brick and somehow studier.

    “This is for emergencies,” she emphasizes, pressing the phone into Bradley’s hand. “And long-distance calls are expensive, so when I say emergencies, I mean emergencies. Your leg better be on fire if you’re calling me from Virginia.”
