Summary
Maverick really should have known better than to promise to settle things with Rooster after the mission and still expect them all to come through unscathed.Maverick’s second ejection in a month didn’t leave him quite as uninjured as he’d thought it had, and it’s Rooster that has to try to pick up the pieces. Luckily he has a whole aircraft carrier of people to pull him through.

Summary
“I can’t believe Slider is getting married,” Maverick says, turning the heavy cream cardstock over in his hand. The envelope, addressed to LCDR Peter Michael Mitchell, lays torn open on his counter. He’s in his small kitchen, phone tucked against his shoulder, Ice’s voice in his ear. “You never mentioned he had a girl,” he adds, tone accusatory, “Mary. Have you met her?”
“Mary Elizabeth,” he corrects. “She came to visit while we were at Norfolk. Sweet girl.”
“I gotta say, I’m surprised I made the guest list,” Maverick says with a huff of laughter.
Or:
Slider is getting married, Maverick and Ice share a room, and Maverick learns his feelings for Ice definitely weren't as one sided as he feared.Bookmarked by AlexTheGayDisaster

Summary
Ejecting isn’t something one ever gets used to. Well, most Pilots never had to eject one single time in their entire career. Not one Pilot Maverick knew from flight school or his Top Gun class ever had to eject. But here he was, at Mach 10.4, pulling the ejection handles once again.
This time, it was his fault.
As Hondo told him, the contract threshold is Mach 10. Not Mach 10.1, not Mach 10.2, Mach 10. He had to do it for the program, he had to keep the program alive. Not for himself, but for everyone else working on the hypersonic program.
