    Summary

    Tom “Iceman” Kazansky is a man that screams precision through and through, whether that be with his flying or any other walk of life.

    He’s on track to become the youngest admiral in United States Naval history, and he’s in the top one percent of Naval aviators. He is elite. Emotionally numb. Hopes to make COMPACFLT at some point in the future. The way that he flies is his by far his most impressive attribute; ice-cold, no mistakes. Flawless. It’s the type of performance that demands unwavering attention, and demonstrates strict discipline. Something that Ice certainly prides himself on.

    When a fellow aviator — and competitor for the Top Gun trophy — by the name of Pete “Maverick” Mitchell thoroughly tests the limit of his self-discipline, just how long will that ice-cold persona of his last before it inevitably cracks under immense pressure, or he emerges the victor?

    Is there any chance, perhaps, that he could break, and somehow still manage to come out on top?

    Summary

    “Sli, I just don’t think I can be friends with the guy.”

    Slider groans, letting the noise dramatically flop onto the high-top table.

    “Why the hell did we follow him to Top Gun, then?”

    Ice bristles, “We did not.”

    “We kinda did,” Slider shoots back with a shit-eating grin, toying with the rim of his beer bottle.

    Summary

    After the ever-so-stressful Dagger mission, Pete Mitchell is tired and craves some normalcy. It's seemingly difficult for him to return to normal this time, and his protective (and very worried) husband can't help but notice the changes in Pete's mental health. After an official PTSD diagnosis, being permanently grounded, and the adoption of a service dog, Pete Mitchell attempts to adjust, but can't do it without the help of his wingman and their adopted and dysfunctional family.

    Summary

    They say it takes a village to provide a safe, healthy, and secure environment for children to develop, flourish, and realise their hopes and dreams.

    This is an alternate universe story of Top Gun, where everything is fine and nothing hurts. Where Goose, Carole, and Iceman live. Where Goose and Carole, with the help of Maverick, Iceman, and Slider, raise little Bradley. And how Bradley returns the favour 30 years later.

    Or 5 times Bradley’s parents and uncles were there for him, and 5 times he was there for each of them.
