listen I love character study fics about bradley's reaction to seeing mav as his top gun instructor as much as the next gal, but i really do believe he was 100% aware that mav was at the hard deck, because in my mind there's no other explanation for great balls of fire.
that's not a random nostalgia trip, that's bradley reclaiming one of his only memories of his father in a way he knows mav will hear.
so, uh, i wrote this fic!
please give it a read! i wrote it instead of revising for a (very important) exam i have tomorrow and i need some validation to convince me i'm doing something worthwhile instead of procrastinating (i'm definitely procrastinating)
