    Summary

    Good riddance, he thinks. Or maybe feels obligated to think. He’s not sure. It feels like a natural thing to think about a brother who hit you and insulted you and extorted you for most of your short, miserable time together. He’s thought about it before, Alexei dying. The life he lived had not been conductive to longevity.

    I am the last Rozanov, he thinks, and that is an emotion he can parse, finally: closure. Like setting the last piece down in a puzzle.

    It’s only after the first puff of smoke escapes his lips that Ilya remembers Alexei’s daughter.

    Or:
    Two years after he gets married, Ilya Rozanov receives the news that his older brother has died.

    Summary

    When Pete Mitchell is ten years old, he sets his mind, there and then, that he’s going to be the best goddamn pilot the Navy’s ever seen, and nothing and no one is going to keep him out of the air.

    When Tom Kazansky is twenty-seven, their paths collide, and it makes the world shift beneath his feet. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is not a part of his Twenty Year Plan, but Tom can’t seem to shake him. He stops trying, after a while. It’s the best— and worst— thing that’s ever happened to him.

    “I want to eat him,”

    Luca blinked at him, horror slowly etching onto his face.

    “Like...sexually or...literally?

    Behind the camera, Harris cleared his throat to remind them of his presence. Ilya’s eyes never left Shane, who was still berating Troy by citing some charts from his clipboard.

    “Yes,” 

    Haas looked into the camera in utter fear.
