Summary
Oscar was an alpha, everyone treated him like one at least. “too stoic to be a beta” that was a narrative he’d gotten used to seeing online. “Too broad and quiet to be an omega” okay that one hurt a bit more but it wasn’t the worst thing ever said about him. Now years into the sport and with no one bothering to question him on his second gender, Oscar never felt the need to correct anyone. If they thought he was an alpha then that’s who he would be. It works well, until it doesn’t.

Summary
Maverick really should have known better than to promise to settle things with Rooster after the mission and still expect them all to come through unscathed.Maverick’s second ejection in a month didn’t leave him quite as uninjured as he’d thought it had, and it’s Rooster that has to try to pick up the pieces. Luckily he has a whole aircraft carrier of people to pull him through.

Men Like Us
DancingDisasterSummary:
Seresin men love with reckless abandon. It’s put every man before him in the ground.
Jake refuses to be buried.
He flies like he has nothing left to lose (he doesn’t), a one man army (he is), leaving everyone else in the dust (so they don’t leave him). Admiral Kazansky claps him on the shoulder, says he expects great things from him, and Jake’s smile is feral as the rest of his flight school cohort looks on in disbelief.
Hangman, they all say, like Jake’s entire personality was a long con, and he ranks first in class.
Rooster doesn’t look at all.
(They've got history spanning the better part of a decade and they are absolutely, positively not over it.)

Summary
Seresins are warriors. They die young, and they die bloody. They’ve got a debt somewhere one of them forgot to write down, and now the rest of them are paying the price.
Jake Seresin comes from a long line of fighters and desperados and gets an itch under his skin whenever he stops moving. Seresins are a law unto themselves, and great men have tried to make it otherwise and failed.
Bradley Bradshaw was born with roots so deep the shifting of the tectonic plates can’t move them. There are mountain ranges less stubborn and more self-aware than he is.
Javier Machado has beaten Bradley Bradshaw into the ground exactly three times in his life before the idiot finally realized. It might have been a bit extra, but Javy knows where all the bodies on the Seresin Ranch are buried.
(AKA this time Jake comes from a loving if tragic, family, and he and Bradley still can’t get it right the first time)
