Summary
Top Gun had ended, and they were finally graduating. Everything was in order, and the ceremony was graciously held by Admiral Mitchell at his house in San Diego, near where they trained.
Of course, Admiral Mitchell himself is a very respectable man. Ice knows, because Ice has literally read so many papers studying his leadership and heard so many stories about the Vietnam war hero, who was the only living pilot to have shot down four enemy fighters during combat.
Which was very respectable, and given that he had so graciously given Ice a friendly smile when he saw him, commenting on how well he kept up to pace with Maverick the past eight weeks, Ice is open to believing that Duke Mitchell is a respectable man in general.
It’s his son that Ice has a problem with.

Summary
Looking back, Duke can’t pinpoint when, in the days and months after, his depravity started. He does know, though, that having Pete in his lap, seeking out comfort with tears marring still-rounded cheeks, breaks something in Duke that was tenuously held together. Wrapping his arms around his son, feeling the sobs shaking the tiny body against him, makes Duke want— the beginnings of an idea that never should have been given roots in the first place.

Summary
Stepping aside to let Pete in, Viper’s “of course, Pete. Happy to have you” is genuine. If Pete doesn’t quite pick up on the dual meaning, Viper isn’t going to explain–the kid already seems nervous, and explicitly laying out what’s happening here won’t alleviate that. Pete warily watches Viper lock the door, shifting his weight back and forth on his feet until Viper’s facing him again. With a hand between Pete’s shoulder blades, just below the bump along his spine, Viper guides Pete further into the house, into the living room.
“Here,” Pete says when they stop, holding out a folded piece of paper.
Viper already knows what the letter’s going to say, an innocuous for your enjoyment scrawled out in Duke’s handwriting, unsigned.

Because he could actually see him.
OR; Maverick is a psychic medium and can interact with dead people. What will go wrong?

Summary
Symbols were stupid. Everyone had a symbol that was supposed to help them find their one and only, their true match. You would think that a symbol would be something meaningful, like a sun or a mountain top, except life was never that easy.
Or: Soulmate AU, where you have matching symbols with your soulmate

Summary
“ The silence fell back in, a sort of comfortable understanding settling between them both. The only sound for a moment was the crickets in the Texas night air.
Carole took another toke of the joint as it was passed back into her hands and on the exhale, she coughed a little and then settled into pause before breaking the silence—
“You’d be a very pretty boy,” she said quietly.
Pete didn’t respond. Just curled into his knees.
“A very pretty boy,” she repeated in a whisper, rumination in her tone, before taking another drag.
“
————————
aka, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell has gone through a lot of names to find his. This is that story.

Summary
Patricia Mitchell is beauty, she's (not) grace, she'll (definitely) punch you in the face. Featuring terrible metaphors about life, love, and everything in between.
Ice's POV was running long so instead of adding it at the end of this it is now it's own work!

Summary
" Pete always felt like a creep watching him sleep, but he always looked so peaceful. In his waking hours, Nick was easy-going and laid back but his eyes were backed with something bordering upon calculating and his shoulders were always slightly ridged with an almost unnoticeable tension. In his sleep, these two factors were absent. Normally, it settled something deep within him. But on that night, he found himself wondering aloud, his voice barely a whisper, “What is it that keeps you on edge in the waking hours of the day? What is that tension and why is it there? What are you afraid of?”
And then he’d wondered, “What was that look in your eyes and why don’t I know it like I know the rest of you?”
It had taken him a long time to fall asleep that night. "
After the events of Hop 31, Maverick is left distraught with panic and fear while he sits in the waiting room and awaits news of Goose's fate. In those short hours of deliberation, hours that feel like days, he thinks back on a road trip that the pair embarked on in '84 that changed everything between them, all whilst hoping that Goose makes it out alive.

MY LORDDDD. The juxtaposition of longing for what could be and longing for what was. Had to stare at the ceiling for a while after finishing this one. It's so beautiful and so, so fucking sad. A Goosemav must-read.

Summary
Isn't it funny, how one barely thought-out decision made in the hazes of grief, can permanently alter the course of your life more than it already has been? Maverick chose to burn it down, and now he finds himself standing in the ash with nowhere else to go. But that's the thing about fire- in its destructive force- it can lead to healing.
Ice's talk with Maverick in the locker rooms goes very differently, forever usurping the course of both their lives, but some things were always meant to be in the end. But one thing remains- things will never be the same again.
