Hangman and Rooster Go To Every Rainforest Cafe [in North America] by mwahrey

Summary
"Rooster nodded slowly. Slowly and begrudgingly. “I've never backed down on a bet.” He said, gritting his teeth. He did not want to do this trip. He didn't even like going on stupid trips like this in general - not anymore, at least. Lest he remember the wounds that would have to be reopened if he spent another day on the road with a certain Jake Seresin."
or : Rooster and Hangman do a silly little roadtrip and meet a bunch of friends on the way! (And maybe also do some gay shit and overcomplicate things for themselves)

Summary
It's Penny and Maverick's first Valentine's Day together since he returned to North Island for the Uranium Mission. Any other time, they'd celebrate it. But overwhelmed by her bar and their opposing work schedules that make it so they have hardly seen each other lately, they agree to skip it altogether this year. Or at least that was the plan.

Summary
"I'm not a ghost. I promise." Rooster patted his knee, but Hangman brushed him off, burrowing deeper into the couch. He didn't look like the cocky pilot Rooster had known. He looked…afraid, an emotion Rooster had seen only once. After the mission, when they'd successfully landed. Hangman had been standing on deck, drenched in sweat, helmet hanging limply in one hand, face drawn.
You saved my life, he thought. Do you know that you saved my life?
Probably not.

Summary
“You look really good like this.”
Jake’s hands stilled for half a second. He looked up at Bradley, at the way his big brown eyes sparkled with mischief, at the familiar line of his mouth when he smiled like that. God, he loved this man. “Yeah?”
“Yeah,” Bradley said, completely sincere. “I told you before. You cooking? Sexy as fuck. I’ve got the best seat in the house.”
Jake remembered the night Bradley was referring to. Remembered the way Bradley had admitted it, like a confession he hadn’t meant to let slip out. Remembered how Jake had woken up the next morning and made breakfast wearing only an apron just to see the look on Bradley’s face again.
He cleared his throat and tipped the dried chiles into the pot. “Flattery will not get you out of doing dishes.”
Bradley gasped, holding a hand to his chest. “I’d never!”

Or, the one where cooking is a love language.

Summary
The success of the mission seemed for most, a much needed refracturing break to let things heal, offer a second chance to do things right, maybe even better. It's that infectious optimism to move past misgivings and feuds, to forgive and forget and move forward.
But for Bradley, banged up yet still breathing, just left him wondering why there had to be a broken bone in the first place?
When Bradley begins to distance himself from the pressure of the newly formed team and his unrelenting ex, a sudden reprieve comes in the unlikely form of Admiral Beau Simpson, who invites him over one evening for dinner.

Summary
Jake can't help the laugh that leaves him, incredulous. “Bradley, you're not serious,” he stutters. “This–This isn't the Overlook, we're not haunted. Just come to bed.”
“Jake,” His name rolls off smoothly out of Bradley's tongue. “The last thing I wanna do with you if I get in that bed is sleep.”
And, oh. “Oh.”
Or Jake's battling with newfound feelings for the guy he claimed to despise. It all culminates after an almost death experience and one unlucky (or, quite lucky) mistake while on a night out in Tokyo.

Summary
Evynn "Buck" Bradshaw's life has been a rollercoaster recently. She's had great highs like marrying the love of her life, Bradley Bradshaw, and he would be transferring to a base back in the United States sooner than they had anticipated. There were also deep lows like the 118 becoming a toxic work environment, and Bradley having to go back to Oceana for a few missions before officially transferring closer to home.
She would like to have the relationship with the 118 that she used to have, but had mostly given up on it. Really, all she wanted was her husband to come home. Her husband, whom nobody else in LA knows she has.

Summary
"You ever wonder if maybe in another universe, we would've ended up together?"
Bradley takes a long time to answer. "No." He pauses. "I never did, because this is the only universe I've ever had."
"Only one I've got, too." Jake thinks aloud, "So what about this one?"
