Summary
" Navy fighter pilot earns first confirmed air-to-air kill since the new millennium! You’d think they had a damn newsletter. But trust the US Navy’s gossip circle to spread the word faster than any federal news network might have.
The thing that nobody ever told Jake about fighting in a war was the guilt that haunts you when the fight ends. When the bloodshed and the explosions and the whirring of an engine all come to an end, leaving little more than quiet in its wake, the way your brain latches onto an idea and doesn’t let go of it.
He didn’t even remember taking the shot, is the funny part. All he could remember was the sound of Blue’s panicked screeches over the radio line as her plane went up in flames. "
------------
aka, Jake didn't take being the first aviator of his generation with an air-to-air kill quite as easily as he pretended to.

Summary
“Like your fish boy, do you? Well, in you go then.” He tore open the grid, hit Arthur again and pushed him inside the tank.
Arthur’s eyes widened with panic, and he surged up towards the surface — only to have the iron grid slammed in his face, trapping him underwater. He beat his fist against it, bubbles of precious air escaping his mouth in a wordless scream.Or
After saving a human from drowning, Merlin is captured and imprisoned in a tank. When help finally arrives, things might just get worse instead of better.
