Summary
1989
It had taken him some time to come around to accepting their spots at teaching TOPGUN. He and Slider wanted to finish out their tour first. And then Slider suggested they go teach, and he saw it as a good opportunity to start his climb up the ranks. He has plans, and he doesn't settle for less than perfection.It's strange, though, being back at Miramar without Maverick. His presence - and Goose's, to some extent - seem to haunt the hallways.
Slider says he's moping.
He is doing no such thing.
Regardless, he'd sent Mitchell a postcard, purely to give him his new mailing address and phone number.

"Mav! No!"
Ice's breath catches in his throat, his gaze locked on the monitors in front of them. Searching for any sign of what might have happened.
"Dagger One is hit! I repeat, Dagger One is hit!"
He's frozen. He's sure his heart has stopped, and he suddenly feels as cold as his callsign implies him to be. Maverick disappears off the screen.

Summary
"He was wearing a ring around his neck, on his tags," she says. "But he's notoriously a flirt, so he can't be married…"
"Family heirloom?" Bob tries.
"Maybe…" she says uncertainly. "I don't think that's quite right, though."
"You think he's married, or something?" Bob shifts a little in his bed to turn and face her better.
"Yeah. Maybe 'or something'," she says, glancing at him before looking up at the ceiling as she thinks it through. "I'm sure if we started a betting pool, someone would be able to figure it out."

Summary
"So, what, you just go over there, into Dvali territory, where they shoot augs on sight, if you'd forgotten," Ivan growls - but no, Vaclav had not forgotten, given he had to sneak through there nearly every month. "Just to appease him?"
"Ivan…" Vaclav isn't sure how to say this. "The Dvali- they own me." He looks away from him, afraid to see the judgment in Ivan's eyes.
"You are not property!" Ivan snarls, and Vaclav's gaze snaps back to him, to the burning rage in his eyes.
"To them, I am!" Vaclav cries, gesturing widely with an arm.

Summary
Andy's back to full strength now, and nearly killed Joe for 'mother henning' her too much, so Joe takes that as his sign that they can go out now without needing to leave someone home with her.
"Nile," Joe says over breakfast, "What do you say we take you to see the Louvre today?"
Nile perks up, the sleepiness all but evaporating from her. "Really?"
"Of course. There is so much for you to learn, we would be remiss to not show you these things as we travel," Nicky chimes in, smiling fondly over at Joe for the idea.
"I've always wanted to go," Nile says, not bothering to try and contain her excitement. "A virtual tour during my studies just wasn't the same."
"Great! Let's go. We don't have anywhere else to be any time soon," Joe says.
It has been lifetimes since they last saw the Louvre. And one piece in particular, that they'd thought lost to time.

Summary
This mission has gone tits up in such spectacular fucking fashion that, at this point, Soap is more surprised that they haven't been betrayed.
What the enemy does have, though, lack of betrayal or no, is signal jammers. Soap lost contact with his overwatch the moment he infiltrated the compound on the backside, opposite the rest of their forces. They were meant to be the distraction while he worked his way in and set up an explosive exit. If they couldn't make progress toward the target, he was meant to become the distraction and pull heat off of the rest of them.
It should have been fine. Soap was more than capable of handling an infiltration alone, and with Ghost on overwatch, it would've been a walk in the park.
So of course right as he was saying something to that effect to Ghost on comms, everything went to shit.
Behind enemy lines, alone, in the pouring goddamn rain. This isn't a first, though he'd almost rather be back in Las Almas - at least there he wasn't alone. At least there he had Ghost in his ear. He hadn't realized how much he'd come to rely on the comfort of that dry, gravel voice until it was gone.

Summary
It's like a bandaid. Maverick just needs to rip it off. Spit it out. It's Ice. If he was going to beat the shit out of Maverick for a careless tongue and too much ignorance he would have done it already.
Taking a breath, Maverick goes for it.
"What's it like being gay?"

Summary
There's nothing taboo, per se, about asking someone what their Leaning is. Even asking flat out, "Are you ever gonna tell me what you can do or not? isn't the worst Ice has heard. Still, it's well-known around the base, well known to Maverick, that Ice doesn't go around with flashy spells or doing party tricks.

August 2nd Prompt: Laughter
Before Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, Tom hadn't known there were so many different kinds of laughs that could come from one person. Happy, sarcastic, reproachful, pained, and on the edge of hysteria… tears streaming down one's face, sobs intercut with hiccuping laughter. Heartbreaking.

Summary
August 5th Prompt: Color
"We're old," he comments, but there's no disdain, no indignation. Tom is actually… he's ridiculously happy. His chest feels tight with the emotion.
They are old, but more importantly than that, they're here, in a house they own under both their names, matching wedding bands now clinking against each other as Tom tangles their fingers on top of the counter, together regardless of the hardships they'd faced, after all these years.
