    Summary

    “There was nothing to say, no alternatives, so Maverick dragged Ice to his bedroom and did his best, that day and until Ice left with his packed duffel over his shoulder, to show Ice how he felt about their impending separation, to communicate I need you, I’ll miss you, will you miss me? in every touch and gasp and moan. All of that went unsaid, though, Ice leaving on a warm spring morning with little more than a chaste kiss and a mutual agreement to keep in touch.”

    After three months apart, Maverick and Ice reconnect.

    Summary

    “No,” Ice said.

    Through the sick, free-fall-through-an-abyss feeling in the pit of his stomach, he spared a moment to be amused by the look on Mav’s face. He just looked so adorably bewildered.

    “But it’s…it’s not a yes or no question,” he stammered. “I—I’m breaking up with you. Have broken up with you. It’s over.”

    “Yes, that’s what you said,” Ice replied blandly, projecting calm with every ounce of himself—hiding the panic he felt. “And I said no."

    Summary

    Is it that Mav and Ice need more privacy or just that they need to make better choices about when they get their hands on each other?

    Summary

    "You're telling me I broke more than one of your unspoken cowboy rules?" At Ice's nod, he throws his head back in a groan. "What's the other rule?"

    There's really no way around it; he's going to have to tell him.

    "It's a saying back home, Mav. When a woman takes a man's hat…?"

    An oblivious look, that same tilt of the head. Jesus. Is he really going to have to spell it out for him?

    "You wear the hat, you ride the cowboy."

     

    or; a bar in Nashville, a mechanical bull, and Maverick stealing his wingman's Stetson

    Summary

    "Shit," Maverick curses, righting them with no small amount of struggle, fighting the failing jet. "Rooster, listen to me. We're going to land," he says, turning sharply back toward the shore. He scans the landscape outside of the cockpit, looking for somewhere, anywhere, clear enough for them to set down.

    "What?!" Rooster shouts.

    "No other choice," Maverick says, spotting a clearing in the trees. It's not ideal, but it'll have to do. He's getting more and more warning lights flashing at him, and they're running on borrowed time. "It's going to be rough," he warns. Even if they had a runway that was paved and not snow-covered dirt, they're missing a landing gear.

    This is going to hurt.

    --

    Or, Maverick and Rooster don't make it back to the carrier in that F-14. Cue a Goofy Movie-esque road trip, only the estranged father-son pair have to figure out how to make it home from enemy soil without aid, backup, or documentation.

    Oh, and everyone back home thinks they're dead.
