    Summary

    After their blowout fight over the pulled papers, Bradley had told Maverick that he never wanted to see him again. But of course Maverick, being Maverick, had found the loophole. Rooster hadn’t seen him since then—that hadn’t stopped the man from calling, though.

     

    My take on Rooster getting a reality check when he thinks Maverick might have died in the Darkstar crash.

    Summary

    It was different, seeing Pete Mitchell now. As an adult. The anger, indignation, and fear had all clouded that simple fact, and now that they were on the same page, and just-barely not dead, he could breathe and really look at it. The wanting. The attraction. The glimpses of easy compatibility that make Rooster hurt in a hollow, lonely way, like the first bite of food on an empty stomach.
    And god, does he want to kiss Maverick. Someday.

    It’s a classic, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers type of jive.

    Summary

    He caught sight of Iris a few times—bringing Phoenix lunch, spending quality time with Maya and Pearl in the Wright and Co. offices, falling into step with Phoenix outside the courthouse—and every time he saw Iris and Phoenix walking side by side, hands brushing, shoulders touching, his chest seized with something not at all unlike longing.

    (Miles is operating on some faulty information. So, as it happens, is Phoenix.)

    Summary

    He’s sick in the head.

    Sometime in all those confusing hormonal teenage years after Maverick had left, a wire had crossed somewhere. It's not his dead dad that had messed him up. Bradley doesn't know Nick Bradshaw. Nick Bradshaw is a distant blurry concept that lived in his mother's memories and musty tomes of old faded photographs. He’s not the one Bradley busted his ass to impress growing up; the one he bled and cried for, and whose attention he spent his entire childhood obsessively trying to capture like lightning in a bottle.

    It’s Maverick. It’s all for Maverick.

    Summary

    He was one of the most unpredictable, bad-tempered, quick on the trigger, vicious hombres as you would ever hope not to meet, at least if you listened to the stories folks told; for my part, I never had a lick of trouble with him.
