Summary
Having just completed a mission that required multiple miracles, Bradley thinks the most miraculous thing of all is that he’s not furious at Maverick anymore. Or Hangman. Now that his relationship with Maverick is on the mend after talking about their past, Bradley starts to realize some other things. Like the fact that Hangman isn't such a bad guy and he maybe actually really likes him, like, a lot. Jake, meanwhile, starts to realize that Bradley may not, in fact, hate him for being an ass, while also trying to hide the fact that he’s been in love with Rooster for years. Without the anger characterizing every interaction, Bradley and Jake are left with the conclusion that there's more there that they hadn’t realized until now. But, as Bradley and Jake's icy relationship unexpectedly begins to thaw into a tentative friendship, the friction that existed between them sparks something deeper than they ever expected. Letting go of the past and respective fears is harder than they thought, but when it comes down to it, the question remains: will they have the courage to leap off their perches and take the shot?

Summary
Mav’s the one who gives him the idea one morning over breakfast. He doesn’t even look up from his coffee as he says it.
“Sounds like you need to get away for a bit, clear your head,” he mumbles, having half listened to Bradley try to explain his current headspace. Mav looks up after a moment, eyes lighting up. “I have some camping gear you could take, drive up north and get some fresh air.”
“I get fresh air all the time,” Bradley argues, frowning. Mav rolls his eyes.
“I mean like, forest air. Beach air is one thing, but up in the trees is a different kind of air.”
“You’re full of shit.”
or - the camping fic.

Summary
“Maybe they were right.” Jake whispers. “When they said ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’”
“It wasn’t better” Bradley replies softly, instinctively checking over his shoulder and then forcing Jake to meet his gaze. “Trust me.”
Bradley sighs. “It wasn’t easy for my dads or their time in the Navy or me. The policy was wrong, plain and simple and I was happy to see it go.”
Jake swallowed hard in disbelief. “Your dads? As in more than one?”

Summary
Pete and Tom have spent the last thirty years navigating their relationship in an ever changing world- through the highs and lows; deployments and leaves. But now, as Pete is to lead a suicide mission in the heart of enemy territory, he has to choose a wingman- Hangman or Rooster. Reconciliation with Bradley seems impossible, no matter what he does, and Tom believes the boy will get him killed. Left with no other option, Hangman is chosen as Dagger Two.
Though he delivers the Navy a successful mission, he also delivers himself onto a minefield of chronic pain, politics and a relationship on the brink of collapse. With the help of friends and family, Tom and Pete both must figure out what's important in life, and what sacrifices have to made to achieve it, all before there's nothing left to loose.
