By: @writernothingness | Bubblegumchaos

Pairing: Marcus "Sundown" Williams/Charles "Chipper" Piper

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Word count: 7,125

Summary: Marcus Williams deserves one of those dollar trophies for everything he's had to deal with this weekend.

By: @icemav86 | Saturn

Pairing: Solomon "Warlock" Bates/Pete "Maverick" Mitchell

Rating: Mature

Word count: 2,997

Summary: God fucking damn it. Staring right at him was Maverick fucking Mitchell, eyes wide, looking no better than Solomon felt. He’d never flown with Maverick, but their squadrons shared a base for a few months; the recognition was instantaneous. Their gazes locked, frozen, as time seemed to stand still around them, and Solomon quickly calculated how long he had until he was called in for a disciplinary hearing.

Summary:  The first words Hondo ever spoke to Maverick were innocuous, practically unmemorable. Something like, “Scooter took the spare, sir. He’s already up. Better luck tomorrow.” The last, equally so. “Uh, Admiral Cain is asking- ordering that we bring her down.” But wait, no. Those weren’t his last words to Mav, because after that-
