Summary
1989
It had taken him some time to come around to accepting their spots at teaching TOPGUN. He and Slider wanted to finish out their tour on the Enterprise, first. And then Slider suggested they go teach, and he saw it as a good opportunity to start his climb up the ranks. He has plans, and he doesn't settle for less than perfection.It's strange, though, being back at Miramar without Maverick. His presence - and Goose's, to some extent - seem to haunt the hallways.
Slider says he's moping.
He is doing no such thing.
Regardless, he'd sent Mitchell a postcard, purely to give him his new mailing address and phone number.

"Mav! No!"
Ice's breath catches in his throat, his gaze locked on the monitors in front of them. Searching for any sign of what might have happened.
"Dagger One is hit! I repeat, Dagger One is hit!"
He's frozen. He's sure his heart has stopped, and he suddenly feels as cold as his callsign implies him to be. Maverick disappears off the screen.

Summary
Ethan’s mission is to become Maverick again and for a while it seems the perfect opportunity for him and his husband to finally settle down. But the Darkstar Project soon gives way to the Uranium Mission, and this time he really might not come back.
“Right, I just want to make sure I’ve got this all straight.” Slider laughed, “Mav is gay, and is married, and brings his husband along to naval functions posing as his friend under a false name and has been getting away with this for decades?”
Covers the time and events of Top Gun Maverick.

Summary
Despite their best efforts, Ethan had ceased to be a real person. He had failed at being a student, a disciple, a lover, a son. Claire and Jim had done everything they could to try to prevent his failure; they'd beat, fucked, taught, tortured, coddled, even loved Ethan, trying to turn him into exactly what they wanted, and they'd failed. But Claire loved him too much to let him be nothing but a weapon, so he had firmly settled somewhere around the role of "pet".

Summary
"He was wearing a ring around his neck, on his tags," she says. "But he's notoriously a flirt, so he can't be married…"
"Family heirloom?" Bob tries.
"Maybe…" she says uncertainly. "I don't think that's quite right, though."
"You think he's married, or something?" Bob shifts a little in his bed to turn and face her better.
"Yeah. Maybe 'or something'," she says, glancing at him before looking up at the ceiling as she thinks it through. "I'm sure if we started a betting pool, someone would be able to figure it out."

Summary
Pete Mitchell died when he was 11 years old at the hands of his foster mother.
It was an accident. Well, kind of. She had wanted to hurt him -he had broken one of the rules after all- but he doubted she had actually meant to kill him.
That didn't mean it didn't hurt though. Her wide eyed face and and a searing burst of pain in the back of his head were the last thing he remembered before it all went black. He barely even had time to register he was going to die before it was already happening.
So imagine his surprise when he woke up in a dumpster 54 miles away 14 hours later.
