    Summary

    Maverick doesn’t regret it when he takes the hit, when the last thing he hears before he ejects is Rooster screaming his name.

    But then he wakes. Not to a vast, white snowfield behind enemy lines—but to an inverted cockpit of an F-14.

    And to Goose, alive and well in the seat behind him.

    Or; the time-travel fix-it in which TG:M Maverick wakes up at the start of TG (1986).

    Summary

    What it says on the tin.
    I've read like pretty much every fic under the 'The Mechanisms Were Jonathan 'Jon' Sims | The Archivist's College | University Band' and it always bothered me that the sibling relationship with Nastya and Jonny that's everywhere in mech fics isn't carried over.
    So I wrote it myself (You know you're desperate when you have to write it yourself)
    There's supposed to be 12 chapters but we'll see how that goes.

    Summary

    “Who are you?” Mike shouts. His voice booms like a thunderstorm. The trees continue to thrash against one another. Oliver’s nose stings as something sharp and metallic ripples through the air.

     

    “Didn’t you hear me?” He continues, moving towards Oliver. “Who. Are. You? Why are you here?”

     

    “You weren’t in Book Club!” Oliver chokes out.

     

    OR! Oliver Banks notices Mike Crew is missing from book club one evening and decides to intervene.

    Summary

    Peter and Elias adopt a fifteen-year-old Martin. It goes as well as you’d expect.


    It sounds like he’s reading from a brochure, Martin thinks fleetingly, vaguely amused. These men – his new parents – do not seem like they know what they are doing.

    “Peter,” Elias says dangerously. “Place in the family. Reaffirming.”

    (Taking a last long look at the employee contract in his hand, Martin sighs. “Dad is so going to divorce you for this” He signs the papers with a sense of inevitability.)
