Summary
The universe granted her last laugh at Soul Society when her soul didn't go there; instead, it clapped her on the back as if saying, 'Go be a menace somewhere else.'
Peter Mitchell, son of Duke Mitchell and Marianne Mitchell. Completely normal family. His father is in the Navy, and his mother's a housewife. Until an officer knocks on their doorstep to tell them about his father's passing.
They said Duke Mitchell is a disgrace, but little Pete is an old soul; he's not going to fall for that.Challenges came his way, and what did he do? He decided he's going to be a problem for them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the huge screen was the face of the so-called Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. The most notorious naval aviator the U.S Navy never recorded. His face is optimistic. Soft but thick brown hair, and beautiful green eyes, yet they stared at it with such bewilderment.
Tom, however, was thinking of someone else. Instead of the wild navy personnel that doesn't exist, it was a woman, her red hair wild, and her eyes haunted by life.

Summary
Description: While at the hard deck with the other daggers, Mickey - your boyfriend - get’s heavily flirted on by a stranger when you’re not around, and he is never more committed to shut someone down.
Warnings: Alcohol/Drunkenness, very light sexual harassment (fem on man). Canon-typical asshole Hangman. I love Reuben. Fanboy is a sweetheart. Other than that it’s just an established relationship and fluff. No use of y/n.

Summary
In an alternate WWII where air combat is faster, deadlier, and more secretive than ever, a classified squadron trains in silence—operating beneath the public eye, far from the glory of headlines. Among them is Lt. Robert “Bob” Floyd, a soft-spoken yet brilliant backseater whose quiet presence belies a sharp mind and steady hand. When he's assigned to fly with a fiercely driven pilot known as Phoenix, Bob finds himself thrust into a world of high-stakes missions, buried grief, and fragile camaraderie.
Under the shadow of war, Top Gun is reborn—not as a school, but as a proving ground for the best and most broken. As Bob and his team fight to stay one step ahead of the enemy, they’ll learn that not all battles are fought in the skies… and not all wounds bleed.
Some heroes fly below the radar: unseen, unheard, but never forgotten.

Summary
Now that he’s back at NAS North Island in Coronado on the San Diego Bay, he feels somewhat more at home. He knows it’s because Whiskey’s here too.
He remembers the first time seeing her again at the exact bar they’re all at tonight. Her bright-sky blue eyes found his across the bar where he’d been playing the piano. All sounds had ceased to exist the exact moment she grinned at him with her teeth shining a brilliant white.
The only differences between flying fighter jets and being around her are he’s never nervous about flying, and the adrenaline rush he gets her presence is a much stronger high that he gets when he’s flying at the top speed of Mach 1.8 in the F/A-18 Super Hornet.
