When a Dead Man Walks in the Desert, Does He Make a Sound? by RabidPlotBunniesAttackkkk for My dad who always supports me

Summary
Gaze wandering to the P-51 once again, drawn to the little plane like a moth to a flame. Pacing around it, putting a hand on it’s side.
“Well, aren’t you the prettiest damn thing, sweetheart?”
Because who was to know that Pete had started talking to the planes because Goose did? Emulating his brother in all but blood, taking confidence in a somewhat odd habit through the ensuing years.
Not noticing the tacky red fingerprints he left on the yellow paint as he hummed a nameless tune, pacing the plane’s perimeter, gauging what whoever owned the plane was up to. Peering into the opened belly of the plane to see the parts missing from the engine, standing on his tiptoes to see from another angle.
Only to be startled by the sound of something shattering behind him.

Summary
It's been eight years since anyone has heard anything from AJ "Phantom" Mitchell. Many say she went MIA, while others believe she is dead. On the contrary, she is hidden by the government after a disastrous mission. Now, after eight long years of recovery, she and her father have been called back to train the best of the best on the same mission that nearly killed her. What happens when she runs into a familiar face? What happens when she has to lie to them because she is not allowed to reveal her identity? What happens when the mission starts to turn south?
{Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw fic}

Summary
"Woah," Maverick said, stumbling backward until he bumped into the wall. The events of last night rushed back to him in a sudden, overpowering wave, and he braced a hand against the wall. "You're…real?"
Goose looked up from the newspaper he was reading. There was a cup of coffee sitting next to him, still steaming. He raised an eyebrow, his mustache twitching briefly. "Depends. Are you real?"

Summary
Despite the man not commenting on Maverick’s unpunctuality (which was only five minutes, mind you), Kazansky sure has the gall to look at him with mirth dancing in his eyes, eyebrow cocked and his lips pressed in a thin, infuriating smirk. He pulls back and pushes up his aviators with his middle finger—Maverick can’t tell if it’s intentional or not, but his own hand twitches with the temptation of mirroring him—and rakes his eyes up and down Maverick’s figure, his smirk wobbling, threatening to widen.
“...What?” Maverick asks, dumbfounded.
[Maverick and Iceman agree to meet, but somewhere along the ride a surprise factor has joined them.]

Summary
" He glanced at a calendar on the wall below the register as that same voice yelped out the rest of the lyrics, “Too much love drives a man insane! You broke my will, but what a thrill! Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!” The calendar was open to July of 1986. And so Bradley Bradshaw realized three things all at the exact same time.
He had somehow time-traveled back to the exact time and date when his father and his godfather were at TOPGUN. Both of his parents were alive once more and stood somewhere in this diner with him. And one of the very few memories he had of his father was underway at that very moment. "
-----------------
aka, Bradley Bradshaw somehow manages to travel back in time for a few hours. He learns a few things about his parents he might've been better off not knowing.

Summary
"But, Maverick ... Pete ... you do have a safety net. It's called the rest of the human race—your team, your wingmen. That's what I think a lot of people have been trying to bang into your head for a long time." – quote from Mike Cogan's Top Gun novelization
Maverick has lost so many people, and he can't seem to protect them all. By now, he's learned to fear the worst.
(Or, five times Maverick wasn’t ready to say goodbye, and the one time he decided that enough was enough: no more goodbyes.)

Summary
" He returned to cautiously petting Mav’s body, eliciting a pleased purr from Mav as Mav settled into his lap. A few minutes later, Ice sneezed and Mav peered up at him in question. One sneeze turned into three and when he stopped, he tipped his head back and groaned out, “Fuck.” His voice sounded significantly more nasally than it had before.
Mav stared at him, realization dawning, and when Ice met his eyes, he must’ve been able to read the ‘you dumbass’ scrolling across Mav’s brain because he groaned again, “Oh, you shut up, this is your fault.”
‘No,’ Mav thought, ‘It’s yours for playing with a cat when you are apparently allergic. Y’know, like an idiot.’ "
----------------
aka, while most people don't get to make a second first impression, Mav's circumstance is a little unique given the fact that he can transform into a cat. He befriends the Iceman in his cat form and he comes to learn that, despite a rather severe cat allergy, Ice adores cats.

Summary
" They were talking about the most recent phone call that Goose had shared with his sister and the information she relayed over the line, when suddenly, a figure whirred out from the crowd of the dancefloor, tripping into Goose’s lap with a soft yelp.
“Woah!” Goose reacted, hurrying to steady her before she could fall any further, his hand on her back.
“Oh!” She stood up hurriedly, “Lord, I am so sorry, boys!” She laughed, her accent thicker than honey and reminding Mav of his Texan father, whose voice he hadn’t heard since he was six years old.
“It’s alright, honey,” Goose smiled at her and Mav grinned cause he’d seen that smile before. He was trying to charm her, in that subtle way that Goose had. “No harm, no foul, right Mav?”
“Course not,” Mav shook his head, smiling at her when her gaze turned to him. "

Summary
“Mammy?” Pete asks her later, around a mouthful of chicken and dumplings from a big pot that's bubbling away on the stove. “Is you a princess?”
She nods and smiles, wiping her hands on her apron; it’s dotted in little fishies. “Ah usit tae be, a long time ago. Ma name was Princess Anne Mary Fraser Stuart, but ah like Mrs. Annie Mitchell much better now.” She kisses him on both cheeks until he laughs so hard he nearly chokes.
She talks funny, his Mammy, and she sings funny too, but Pete likes it — it sounds like home.”

Summary
" He’d been born a Mitchell, he would die a Mitchell. It would be engraved in his headstone when the Navy finally killed him as penance for the non-existent sins of a man long since buried, he’d suffered since the day his father died and labeled the name Mitchell as a synonym for traitor and that would never change. As a badge of honor, a medal of his own personal endurance, and a mess of sheer spite alone would he wear the name for the remainder of his days with pride. But in every way that had ever truly mattered, mind, body, and soul, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell was a Bradshaw. "
-------------
aka. Maverick has lived alongside, loved, and lost three Bradshaws in his life. This is how he mourns the first two and gets the third one back.

Summary
" Somewhere in between yelling out that they’d passed through Ice’s jet wash and the call to eject, some part of Nick knows. Deep in his bones, in the back of his mind, he feels it. Senses the fact that he’s experiencing his last moments.
Somewhere amidst the chaos, the thought comes to him. ‘I’m going to die.’ And it’s not the frantic, panicked exclamation of despair you might expect. Instead, it is realized with quiet acceptance.
He’s heard a lot of people talk about the way your life flashes before your eyes before death, he just never expected it to be quite so visceral. "

Summary
" That didn’t make the lingering grief disappear, however.
Sure, there were the obvious occasions. The ones they all eyed as it approached on the calendar. The birthdays, the holidays, the wedding anniversary, July 29th. The random day in June that Ice had never truly gotten the full story behind, only that there was more than met the eye to Mav and Goose’s dynamic and that day was significant to it. All of these dates were accounted for and prepared for. All of them expected the melancholy of grief on these days.
What none of them could predict were the random moments, things to suddenly remind them of the deep, aching absence in their lives, things that passed with no warning. Those were the deadly gut punches. And even six years later, Mav struggled with this. "
----------------
Aka, six years after Goose's death, Mav still struggles with the grief. This is normal and he's coping, even if it's not easy.

Summary
" Pete always felt like a creep watching him sleep, but he always looked so peaceful. In his waking hours, Nick was easy-going and laid back but his eyes were backed with something bordering upon calculating and his shoulders were always slightly ridged with an almost unnoticeable tension. In his sleep, these two factors were absent. Normally, it settled something deep within him. But on that night, he found himself wondering aloud, his voice barely a whisper, “What is it that keeps you on edge in the waking hours of the day? What is that tension and why is it there? What are you afraid of?”
And then he’d wondered, “What was that look in your eyes and why don’t I know it like I know the rest of you?”
It had taken him a long time to fall asleep that night. "
After the events of Hop 31, Maverick is left distraught with panic and fear while he sits in the waiting room and awaits news of Goose's fate. In those short hours of deliberation, hours that feel like days, he thinks back on a road trip that the pair embarked on in '84 that changed everything between them, all whilst hoping that Goose makes it out alive.
