Summary
It wasn't that Bradley couldn't fix his own car. It was more that, from experience, he had around a 50/50 chance of making it way worse, instead.

Summary
"Uh, Captain — is everything alright, sir?" he called, trying his level best to keep his voice as calm as possible.
Maverick twisted to face him, a rare frown turning down the corners of his normally generous mouth. "What are you doing up here, Lieutenant?"
"I could ask you the same question." He gestured at Maverick's boots, and how close they were to the roof's edge. "You know, that's a long way down, sir, if you don't mind me saying so."
Maverick cocked his head and studied Jake for a moment out of cool hazel eyes before offering a rueful smile. "I promise, this isn't what it looks like."
(Or: Jake finds Mav on a particular meaningful anniversary)

Summary
Ice wasn’t totally sure whose idea it was. The party down at the beach to celebrate the last term of 1989.
The way he figured, it didn’t really matter. Whose idea it was.
All that mattered was that he got an invite. A quick, “Hey, Ice. Bonfire down at the beach later. BYOB,” while Dodger and Cobra passed him in the hall on a Friday morning in mid-November and an easy “You going to the party later?” while Mav was between sharp bites of an apple during lunch that same afternoon.

Summary
“You said you need a pilot, ma’am? Captain Pete Mitchell, United States Navy. I’ve been an aviator for 35 years.”
She can feel her eyes watering up in relief. Thank you, God, she sends heavenward, into the clouds even higher than their cruising altitude.
“Can you fly an A320?”
Captain Mitchell smiles at her and, good lord, he really is a miracle.
“Ma’am, if it has wings, I can fly it,” he winks and adds, “Hell, I can probably manage even if it doesn’t.”
-
Or; Maverick's red-eye flight home to San Diego is more eventful than he might have hoped.

Summary
Balancing himself with one knee on the seat, Pete straightens up, head bent downwards so it doesn’t collide with the roof of the truck, and unbuckles his belt.
The buckle clinks; Jake watches with curiosity, tilting his head to the side. Logic escapes him at the moment, but his impeccable flirting abilities are intact as ever.
“Hm, taking your pants off already?” A practiced grin shines across his face. “That’s a personal record for me.”
The tip of Pete’s tongue peeks through his teeth as he concentrates. As light as a feather, he slides the belt under Jake’s leg, managing so without causing a new burst of pain.
*
Jake gets run off the road by a reckless driver. Thankfully, he doesn’t have to deal with the aftermath alone.
