    Summary

    Long distance is something that isn’t easy to pull off. Some nights, Bradley missed him so much that he could feel his absence aching in his ribs, right behind the place where he’d cracked them during the mission with Maverick. Letters can only do so much. Phone calls make it more bearable, but nothing is better than having each other close.

    That’s how Bradley usually feels, anyways. He also usually likes Texas, but right now—

    “I wish we’d never come here.”

    (alternatively: jake & bradley finally sharing the domesticity they deserve)

    Summary

    Maverick’s eyes lower to focus on the figure whose head barely reaches Copperhead’s hip, a blonde boy that looks to be around Bradley’s age. “And this must be Jacob.”

    “Jake,” the boy corrects. He only crosses his arms when Copperhead taps his shoulder in a silent reprimand, but Maverick doesn’t seem to mind.

    He laughs and exchanges an amused look with Copperhead before moving his hand into a similar grip on Bradley’s shoulder. “Well, Jake. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Maverick. This is Bradley.”

    Bradley blinks owlishly at them both until Maverick nudges him. “Hi.”

    (alternatively: jake & bradley over the years)

    Summary

    Bradley sighed. “It’d just be nice if he was nice once in a while, that’s all I’m saying.”

    “Gotta say, this is a hundred times worse than your horny era,” Nat said, and Bradley stabbed a pointer finger at her.

    “There was no horny era,” he said. “And—and I’m not hung up on him. He’s just—”

    “‘Aggravating,’” Nat said, yanking the word out of his mouth. “I’ve heard it before. And you definitely are hung up on him. Are, have been, probably always will be. Maybe that’s the real reason his name’s Hang-man. Stringing you along without even realizing he’s doing it.”

    Summary

    Bradley’s first day of law school is a wash out in more ways than one. First, he gets soaked on the way to class. Then, he's late. And finally (quite literally) runs into his ex-something in the middle of the law building.

    Law school AU prompt fill for the Top Gun Maverick fic exchange.

    Summary

    It isn’t until they're in bed together, clothes off and condoms out, that Jake and Bradley realize they have different assumptions for what the hook-up is going to look like.
