Summary
Sokka doesn't consider himself a romantic person. The funniest thing is, he's in love with his best friend. And he's fine with that. They're platonic. Nothing more, nothing less.

When she was 8, her next life, she counts, she became Antonia, Widow’s victim.
(Later, the very same Widow tells her she was — is still a victim. A different type of victim, per se, but still. A victim nonetheless.)

A tribute to Antonia Dreykov, Taskmaster.

Without wings, a bird is grounded, and what good is a grounded bird? Birds are meant to fly, to be free. A wingless bird is as good as dead.

Summary
Maverick first meets Iceman on the deck of the USS Enterprise, when he lands to take part in the rescue of the USS Layton. As part of the air wing, Maverick and Goose are put on Alert 5 to back up the Top Gun imports. Iceman comes out the dogfight thinking that Maverick is a great pilot, he just needs to learn how to behave. A few weeks later at Top Gun, where Iceman is now an instructor, in the process of spinning out, Maverick comes to the conclusion that he just doesn't know how. He asks Iceman for help.
An AU where Cougar does not turn in his wings after the MiG encounter, but instead drops out of Top Gun a couple weeks in.

Summary
For a second, getting in Sundown's face on the tarmac, it probably showed anyway. That he was already over the edge, clinging by his fingernails. That he needed something nobody was giving him. He hoped dimly for a minute that Sundown might shove him off, shove him off or even hit him. He wanted to be hit. He wanted to bleed.
It wasn't going to be as much as Goose had bled. But it would be something.
But Sundown didn't do it. He let Maverick walk away whole. Just like Viper, just like Charlie. Just like Carole. Just like the board of inquiry.
Then, in the locker room after, there was Iceman.
