Maverick finds the perfect Christmas gift for Rooster. Disclaimer: I only own the plot. Not the Characters.

Backstory Drabbles for Seeing a Trailer...

In the aftermath of the Layton rescue, Merlin has questions...

"I honestly don't know what he would be like if he didn't have Natasha. She gave him a purpose like even I couldn't do." Carole smiled sadly, "Yeah, I feel like Goose sent her here." Ice snorted irreverently, "He did. Mother Goose got him drunk on his birthday and left him in Charlie's clutches." Ice/Mav, Hangster, Phoenix/Coyote

She wasn't sure why they called her Lucky. She had never been lucky. The irony behind her call-sign was laughable. And being sent on this detachment just showed how unlucky she actually was. When Lauren must face ghosts from her past, will she disappear again or will she finally face her demons? OCxRooster OCxHangman

Un recueil de textes courts sur l'univers des films Top Gun, nous plongeant dans un instant ou une pensée des protagonistes de l'histoire

During the Darkstar crash, Maverick is given a choice—his life, for Goose's. (But good intentions, as they say, can pave a dangerous road.)

Carmen "Headliner" Kazansky is many things. Daughter of Iceman. First woman to earn the Top Gun trophy. Naval pilot. Life is looking good for her. She's unprepared for her mother's call, explaining that her father's cancer is back. With her wedding only two months away, Carmen leaves her fiancé behind and moves home. She's doubly unprepared to immediately be called back to Top Gun.

Lt. Natasha “Phoenix” Trace wasn’t prepared to be reunited with her old friend and crush, Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, and even less prepared for the anomaly named “Bob”. Just “Bob”

"Yeah, because that would be crazy, right? The two of us." "Yeah. Crazy." bradley bradshaw x kazansky!oc ; set during and after Top Gun: Maverick

Talk to me, Bob. Some things are hard to say. (Bob receives a second set of orders during training.) [Robert "Bob" Floyd & OC], Penny Benjamin, Natasha "Phoenix" Trace

Another Graduate returns to Top Gun with Rooster. Oc insert.

On the precipice of his own cancer diagnosis, Admiral Tom "Iceman" Kazansky reflects on Carole Bradshaw's last days and a decision Maverick make that has long-lasting consequences (crossposted on AO3)

The thing about close calls is that they always get closer with each new assignment. Rooster and his team had tempted fate before in the last suicide mission. This time around, he can only hope their luck won't run out. If it does, World War III may be the least of their problems. (Reviews welcome - they are jet fuel for my brain).

"Breaking the hard deck? Insubordination? Are you trying to get kicked out?", she broke the silence between them finally, looking at him. He didn't want to do this… He wasn't ready to do this so he shook his head, "Don't worry about it". Rooster finally letting himself be vulnerable and telling Phoenix about his Dad and his history with Maverick Phoenix and Rooster have history.

Charlotte and Bradley are the best of friends. Could they be more? Follow their lives as they are called back to Top Gun. Will only mention snippets of the movie, it will not follow it completely. There will also be lots of DRAMA! RoosterxOC

Penny and Pete's feelings and thoughts as they reconnect with each other during the events of Top Gun: Maverick

You know with Captain Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, nothing is ever going to be dull... (MavXYoungerOC) Full summary inside!

Rooster and Phoenix met a few days into Top Gun Academy. They quickly become friends. Watch them grow closer as they navigate loss, injuries and the Top Gun flight school. Will they become best friends or maybe something even more?

The Phoenix that had taken off less than an hour before, the one that he admired with every fiber of his being, was not the same person that landed on the carrier, and the thought absolutely devastated him. Jake "Hangman" Seresin/Natasha "Phoenix" Trace; rating may go up in later chapters. Crossposted to AO3.

Having grown up just across the bridge from North Island, Carolina Alvarez has been told her whole life to stay away from the Top Gun boys. And for the most part, she has. That is, until Fanboy catches her putting quarters in the jukebox at The Hard Deck and initiates a game of cat and mouse that ends with her exactly where she swore she'd never be.

As the daughter of Pete Mitchell and Penny Benjamin, Lily - nicknamed Sunshine by the pilots of Top Gun- had grown up with Bradley Bradshaw. She had admired him when she was a child, but now she didn't know if she hated him or loved him after blaming her for what her father did when he pulled Bradley's papers. A day at the beach changes the perspective of a lot of people.

It's Karaoke Duet night at the Hard Deck, and Rooster has selected a song for Phoenix and Bob to sing, a song he knows will get under their instructor's skin. Upon hearing the first words, the captain finds himself a washed with memories, opening the ultimate opportunity, plus a beer, for Hondo to hear the real reasons as to why Maverick never ever talks about Charlie.

He was of the sky, and she of the stars. In fact, they fit together perfectly... Sarah Coleman is an aeronautics specialist with NASA sent to Top Gun for research... Ice and Sarah's relationship over the years - Top Gun-Top Gun: Maverick

Rooster finds out about why Maverick pulled his papers and he confronts the older man. Aka, Maverick and Rooster finally talk and some of their feelings throughout the movie.
