    Summary

    Poor kid, he had time to think before his eyes traveled from the body covered by the heating blanket to the young man's face.

    His heart dropped in his chest and his whole body turned cold with fear.

    “Oh god…Whitaker?” he said as his eyes landed on the very familiar face.

    The young man was deathly pale, skin waxy and lips blue, but there was no doubt in his mind that this was their former med student that he hadn't seen in months lying lifeless on the gurney, body covered in blankets, c-collar around his neck and breathing tube in his mouth and secured to his face.

    Dennis doesn't get matched with PTMC or the emergency department. Almost a year later he is brought into the ER in critical condition. By then no one has heard from him in months.

    Summary

    As Admiral Tom Kazansky steps into the packed hearing room, he knows the importance of what he was about to do. There is no going back now. This isn’t just about his career or his legacy—it’s about the countless men and women who have served in silence under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Facing a panel of lawmakers, reporters, and military brass, Tom knew he had to go through with this. For Pete. He risks everything to fight for the future he believes in.

    Summary

    Ice is trying to handle a lot during Top Gun... his own expectations, the pressure of being the best, not to mention certain pressures from an unexpected Admiral visit. It's a lot. Sometimes people melt under all of that pressure, even Iceman.

    Summary

    Talked into getting a dog by his physiotherapist after the string of events following the Ladder Truck bombing, Buck hadn't realized it would lead him to trespassing on LAFD Air Ops property.

    He comes to a slow jog, knowing that the limp in his gait is obvious when his mid calf twinges heavily, a bone deep ache that he’s going to have to massage away later in a probably too hot bath.

    “Hiya, gorgeous!” Someone says. “What’re doing here, are you lost, pretty girl?”

    A broad man is stooped over, squatting in front of Althea’s half dancing form as she tries to snatch the hose from his grip. He’s got massive hands that shake and pet at the ruff of Althea’s neck, right at the base of her ears like she loves. He shifts his weight, and Buck can’t help how his gaze lowers, catching on the curve of his muscular rear.

    “Althea!” Buck calls, and she barks through a mouthful of water, half drenched and leaving paw prints on the dry concrete as she prances between Buck and the hose still gushing water from where the man has abandoned it on the hangar floor.
