Summary
"The Kazansky-Mitchell Shitshow Extravaganza," Carole had once called his early fumblings with Tom. Maverick thinks history might just be repeating itself as he sits at the Hard Deck watching whatever the fuck is going on between Bradley and Seresin these days, yet another member of the captive audience witnessing their disaster of a mating dance.
God, Maverick really hoped he and Ice were never this bad.
Or—
Unfortunately for everyone else trapped in Miramar during the summer of '86, Pete Mitchell and Tom Kazansky aren't any closer to figuring out what's between them now then they were when they first met five years ago."Mav," Goose hisses into his ear at the officers' club, "please tell me he isn't the guy from the Academy."
"Fine, I won't tell you that."

Summary
Maverick's on his second whiskey when Kazansky appears beside him, the very picture of good manners and sin. If he had more energy, Maverick thinks he’d hate him for it, or maybe just give into the urge to suck him off in a bathroom stall.
“Hello Maverick.”
"Iceman."
They drink in companionable silence for the next quarter hour until—
"So what do you have against soulmates?"
Or—
It isn’t the size of the soulmark that matters, but that doesn’t mean Maverick isn’t still obnoxiously smug about his. -

Summary
“You know,” Bradley says, “I’ve never actually gone to bed with someone twice.”
“Don’t worry, Bradshaw," Jake tells him. “Your status as an unrepentant manwhore is well established by now. Double-dipping just this once hardly has me hearing wedding bells.”
“Look, maybe I really am that big an asshole—”
“You are,” Jake confirms with a lazy shrug.
"Pot meet kettle," Bradley says pointedly.
—
“Fucking hell, Hangman,” Crosseye mutters darkly. “What crawled up your ass and died?”
(The redhead in the impossibly short, garishly neon orange dress who has her arms draped around Bradshaw’s shoulders like a limpet—)
Jake scowls at him—or maybe at Bradshaw’s pending bedpost notch. It’s hard to say given that they’re both in his line of sight.

Summary
Iceman didn’t put this much work into building his career just so he could spend it putting out Maverick's many fires. Alas, given that half the personal favors owed to Ice stem from him handling another officer’s Maverick Problem of The Day and the other half are kept on reserve for smoothing over whatever nonsense Pete causes next, it’s become something of a reputation for him.
“At least I’m cute, right?”
Tom drops his head back and stares at the ceiling in dismay. Sometimes, he truly wonders why he keeps this impulsive idiot of his. “You do have that going for you.”
Or—
There are few things more universally feared in the Navy than owing Admiral Tom “Iceman” Kazansky a favor.Series

Summary
“Why does Seresin keep calling you Bowerbird, Bradshaw?” Mickey asks a few days later during their break between training hops.
Natasha laughs so hard coffee almost comes out of her nose.
Or—
It starts, as many poor decisions do, with a trip to Target.Series

Summary
This probably wouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but he and Seresin hadn’t exactly hit it off when they first met. That said, they did hit it off eventually, and they did it with a bang so resounding it probably should’ve devolved into a fist fight.
By the end of the week, Bradley realized there was one small potential problem with the first close friendship he’d managed in years: he thought Jake was beautiful.
Well fuck.

“It’s not like he doesn’t know, Javy.”
“I think you’re underestimating Bradshaw’s tendency towards obliviousness here, Jake.”

Summary
Seresin men love with reckless abandon. It’s put every man before him in the ground.
Jake refuses to be buried.
He flies like he has nothing left to lose (he doesn’t), a one man army (he is), leaving everyone else in the dust (so they don’t leave him). Admiral Kazansky claps him on the shoulder, says he expects great things from him, and Jake’s smile is feral as the rest of his flight school cohort looks on in disbelief.
Hangman, they all say, like Jake’s entire personality was a long con, and he ranks first in class.
Rooster doesn’t look at all.
(They've got history spanning the better part of a decade and they are absolutely, positively not over it.)
