    Summary

    “What do you mean, they’re gone?”

    “We can’t—we haven’t been able to locate the lieutenants, sir. Search and rescue is going to make another pass but we have been unable to find them,” the sailor tried to explain.

    “They—what about the dye or their beacons? They were barely 300 yards off the shore when they went in,” Viper argued.

    “The beacons appear to have malfunctioned, or, at least, three of them have. The one beacon never activated at all.”

    “And the dye?” Jester persevered.

    “At this point, it’s been hours, sir. The dye will be present but so diluted and dispersed it won’t be a very accurate location tool, especially as the sun starts getting lower in the sky.”

    The two Top Gun instructors exchanged dark looks before turning back to the serviceman in front of them.

    Summary

    Maverick stretched his shoulder as much as he could before a whine started to tear through his throat. It ached something awful.

    Some nights it even kept him up—or woke him up. Those were the worst nights.

    He’d finally sink into a somewhat exhausted sleep and inevitably roll in a direction that left him waking up in absolute agony.

    Part of Mav, the dark, utterly lost part, believed he deserved whatever this pain was. He’d killed Goose—why shouldn’t he be in agony? Hell— God knew his chest felt like it was being ripped in half some days. Those days when all he could think about was clinging to Nick’s too still form—when all he could feel was cold and wet—

    Summary

    Nick was floating motionless in a mess of parachute lines and canopy, making no effort to free himself as crimson tinged the neon green dye around him.

    “Nick!” He screamed, swimming to his RIO’s side, fear overwhelming him as he saw the blood pouring from underneath Goose’s helmet. Mav grabbed his harness, shaking him in an attempt to rouse him before pulling his own glove off with his teeth. With a trembling hand, he reached for Nick’s neck, searching desperately for a pulse.

    Nothing.

    There was nothing.

    “NICK—“ he broke off with an animalistic scream, tears streaming down his face as he clung to Nick’s flight suit, begging anyone to bring back the only person who’d ever really cared. To bring back the most important person in his life—

    “Please—please—“

    Summary

    “Lieutenant Bradley Peter Bradshaw, receiving his wings from Admiral Thomas Kazansky.”

    Bradley’s footsteps pause on their ascent of the steps across the stage from where Ice makes his way to the stage. Keeping his eyes set firmly on the young man across from him. Ice steps forward, reaching for the golden wings, the last set remaining, and gathers it into his palm. Cradles them as if they were the rarest substance on earth.

    The sight of Bradley could render their worth meaningless for all he cares.

    That’s his boy.

    ><><><><><><><><><><><

    Or. Seven years since Bradley walked out of his and Pete's life, Admiral Kazansky can't bear a stranger being the ones to pin Bradley's wings.

    Summary

    Goose lives AU: Going back to 1986 - What happened when Nick woke up after the accident? Fluff and angst of course! Maverick blames himself, because he has a guilt-complex more difficult to navigate than the future canyon run. Of course Goose sets him straight. (And if Iceman needs a little emotional support too, then who's all that surprised?)

    (Chapters set at various times between the two movies.)

    Summary

    Her smile dropped a little as she looked at Tom, eyes flickering between the three men. Slowly, she asked, ‘is he okay?’

    Pete shrugged, but he didn’t make any movement to respond fully. He did, however, quirk his head, asking for her to continue.

    ‘His voice.’

    Maverick didn’t remember hitting the ground. He didn’t really remember anything after getting out of the plane.

    The first thing he did remember was waking up in a hospital bed.

    Hospitals and death weren’t strangers to Bradley Bradshaw, and they always seemed to go hand-in-hand. So he wasn’t particularly thrilled to find himself under watch in the medbay of the aircraft carrier.

    Summary

    He’s seen the picture Nicky is holding – a photo of the four of them on their vacation last summer, arm in arm in arm in arm – but hadn’t realized someone had gotten it framed. Bradley had never been a mountain man, but after a week and a half in Colorado with just the four of them, he’d been utterly convinced it was the happiest place on Earth. 

    Nicky looks at it now with contempt.

    -

    Nicky's got a lot of emotions, and Bradley's the only parent in town who's there to help him work through this tidal wave.

    Summary

    Natasha had never seen Bradley like this. He wasn’t just upset, he was rattled. It only took a heartbeat for her to realize the piece that had been missing - and suddenly, understanding hit. This wasn’t just about her.

    “Your dad,” she said quietly.

    He stopped pacing.

    “That’s what this is,” she added. “You thought what happened to him happened to me.”

    Natasha and Bradley find themselves haunted by more than just the wreckage of a training session gone wrong. Oneshot Rooster/Phoenix fluff.
