    Summary

    Maverick doesn’t regret it when he takes the hit, when the last thing he hears before he ejects is Rooster screaming his name.

    But then he wakes. Not to a vast, white snowfield behind enemy lines—but to an inverted cockpit of an F-14.

    And to Goose, alive and well in the seat behind him.

    Or; the time-travel fix-it in which TG:M Maverick wakes up at the start of TG (1986).

    Summary

    "Woah," Maverick said, stumbling backward until he bumped into the wall. The events of last night rushed back to him in a sudden, overpowering wave, and he braced a hand against the wall. "You're…real?"

    Goose looked up from the newspaper he was reading. There was a cup of coffee sitting next to him, still steaming. He raised an eyebrow, his mustache twitching briefly. "Depends. Are you real?"

    Summary

    Neil knew, better than anyone, that Todd Anderson was special. Ethereal, even. He was warm and earnest and gentle in a school that, most days, was more excrement than excellent.

    It should have come as no surprise when someone else seemed to come to that same realisation.

    It was fine. Todd deserved the recognition. Neil wasn’t jealous.

    Not at all.

    Summary

    My dearest beloved,
    It is with great relief that I finally write to you. I think it doubtful for my words to ever reach your ears, but spare me this chance to lend you a piece of my thoughts — and only a piece, for I must write with caution lest I be discovered.

    Neil, amidst his own internal emotional conflict, accidentally stumbles upon letters Todd had been writing in secret to an unknown recipient. Neil (an idiot) continues to intrude on Todd's privacy by reading each new letter in secret, continuously agitating over their purpose.
