Summary
“Your hand,” Pete says, taking another step so that Bradley is within arm’s reach even though he doesn’t try to reach out just yet. “If you don’t need a doctor then just let me see it.”
Bradley doesn’t move. He does stare down at Pete - literally; Pete’s suddenly feeling the height difference, having to look up at the kid. It’s a little annoying, especially when Bradley’s got kind of a hard look in his eyes, a stubborn expression that Pete knows too well.
“I told you I’m fine,” Bradley says, soft and serious, and then, panicked, “Don’t!” when Pete tries to reach for him.
Just some good ol' fashioned hurt/comfort!

Summary
One of the people Maverick had never managed to get along with was his previous commander, a clash of personalities which had worried Iceman greatly at first but which turned out to be a boon: when the time had finally come, the man agreed to transfer Maverick to Iceman’s own command with obvious relief. “You want that insubordinate sonuvabitch?” he’d said. "Hell, better you than me."
Iceman agreed.
(Or: a decade after their first meeting, five times Maverick requests Iceman's permission to do something, and five times Iceman gives it.)

Summary
“Evan.” Phillip doesn’t get up to greet Buck. He simply stares from his seat next to Margaret. “What are you doing here?”
Buck schools his features into the most affable expression he can manage under the circumstances.
“You literally asked Maddie for help,” Buck says, still standing awkwardly in the doorway. “Told her you needed someone to help around the house once you’re out of the hospital.”
“Yes, but –”
“What we meant was –”
“You asked Maddie.” Buck isn’t surprised to see his parents exchange a knowing look at this. “Because god forbid your son come to help out, right?”
Or, Buck has to go home to take care of his injured mother. While there, he confronts his complicated feelings about his parents, his place in his birth family, and the importance of found family.

Summary
“Are you finally proposing?” Buck asks, and the air rushes out of Eddie like he’s been punched in the gut, a swift burst.
Hearing it from Buck makes it real, solidified, no longer a shapeless fantasy in his head.
"Proposing what?”
“Marriage, genius.” Buck snorts. “Duh.”
Buck peels Eddie's pomegranates, carves out the brown spots from his apples, eats the ugly, discolored fruit. Eddie wants to propose, spirals, and crashes a car about it.

Summary
“A week,” Eddie sighed. “We can do this, right?”
Eddie’s gaze was pleading, needing assurance and comfort. His eyebrows were pinched in the middle of his forehead and Buck wanted to reach out and smooth it out with his thumb. Instead, he said, “’Course we can. We’ve faced tsunamis, beenados, earthquakes, broken dams… hey, where do we think the Diaz Parents Staying For A Week ranks?”
“Most likely to end in death,” Eddie muttered.
Buck clicked his tongue as he pulled the bowls from the cabinet for the salad, “That’s the lightning strike, actually.”
or
The Diaz parents showing up unexpectedly to the shared Buckley-Diaz household leads to some unexpected confrontations, late night conversations, and over due confessions.
