    Summary

    Everyone else figures it out before they do.

    Goose and Slider have been orbiting each other for years — steadfast, stubborn, and quietly in love. It takes a wedding, a few well-timed nudges, and a lifetime of feelings to finally tip them into honesty.

    Set against reunions, reckonings, and a world finally big enough to hold the truth, this is a story about grief, devotion, and the terrifying hope of wanting more than you ever allowed yourself to want.

    Some hearts take decades to say yes.

    Summary

    He didn’t let himself think about what it must have been like for them—two young pilots, risking everything for a country that would’ve hated them if it knew the truth. He didn’t let himself think about Iceman, a Jewish gay man, fighting tooth and nail to claw his way to the top. He didn’t let himself think about a young, wild Maverick, beaten nearly to death because he’d been a little too close to his best friend.

    He didn’t let himself think about it because the more he did, the more he saw himself.

    Jake wanted to throw up at the idea.

    Summary

    The day before, Maverick had answered a call from Ice with his heart in his throat.

    “I’d like for you to fly down and see me.”

    “I’m assuming you’re not giving me permission to commandeer a jet.”

    A huff of a laugh came down the line. “You would be correct. If those words ever come out of my mouth, please get me to a doctor because clearly I’m having some sort of event.”

    “Yeah, yeah, you’ll see. Someday you’ll actually need someone to steal a jet for you and then where will we be?”

    “Mav. Come on, I’m serious. Say yes.”

    “Yes, of course I want to see you. Does this have anything to do with–”

    “We can talk when you get here. Can you come tomorrow?”

    Summary

    "Last they saw each other, Ice was leaving the O Club with a leggy brunette on his arm. Slider doesn’t have any illusions about how Ice’s night ended with the woman or about the chances he’ll get a truthful story from Ice about how he ended up cashless on a street corner on the outskirts of Hillcrest. He’s fucking worried, though. Shit must have turned upside down for Ice to even consider waking Slider to pick him up in that neighborhood."
