    Summary

    Goose has been dead for a week and a half when Iceman loses his first wingman in a dogfight with six Soviet MiGs over the Sea of Okhotsk.

    Goose has been dead for thirty years when Iceman loses his second wingman to a surface-to-air missile on the tail-end of a mission he's responsible for: he's sent his family on a suicide mission to destroy a uranium enrichment facility in Russia's Far East.

    This is the story of those thirty years in the middle.

    (Or: Tom Kazansky rises through the ranks while trying to stay a good man. If he ever was one to begin with.)

    [Final edit 2/4/23. See Ch. 1 notes for major changes.]

    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.

    Summary

    he walks into the little bar and jake seresin is there, because this mission is for the best of the best, and jake is the best, he’s always been the best.

    best thing bradley ever had, that's for damn sure.

    or... another take on rooster & hangman meeting again as exes when they're called to TOPGUN for the mission.

    Summary

    It’s hard to tell who actually walks into who, but if there’s one thing Bradley does soon become certain of, it’s that it isn’t his drink that sloshes all over the front of his shirt when he collides with the person standing in front of him.

    Bradley groans and takes a reflexive step back while the damage is still soaking in. “Fuck.”

    The person in front of him seems to share a similar sentiment. “Oh, shit.”

    “What the hell, man?” Bradley gingerly pinches the front of his now sopping-wet shirt between two fingers and unsticks it from his chest.

    Great. So much for a carefree night out.

    “You think I just wasted the rest of my drink on purpose?”

    (alternatively: the story of bradley bradshaw’s life, as told through making out with jake seresin.)

    Summary

    The mission they weren’t supposed to survive earns Rooster two months of leave, a nasty concussion, three bruised ribs, and a new scar on his neck.

    It also, curiously, seems to earn him a shadow: Hangman.
