Summary
Pete stares at the speakers as the song's first notes start playing, but his brain is looping back the words, rolling the radio name over until it sticks to the warm voice that had spoken it. He removes his hand from the dial.
There's no indication that this man's show will play his regular kind of music; the current song choice directly reflects that belief, but... Pete's always been a sucker for voices, and this Ice fella has a pretty nice one (and if the morbid thought that maybe it'd be a good enough voice to be the last one he hears crosses his mind, that's not for anyone else to worry about.) He lets Lauper croon and sets his paper cup down, ready to get back to work.

Summary
Pete holds his breath, dragging his finger across the screen, and in one sharp exhale, it leaves him.
No. Fucking. Way.
Pete blinks once, then once more, just to ensure he's not seeing things. They've matched.
{Now with a surprise epilogue}

Summary
Title from the Mary Oliver poem "Wild Geese".
In hindsight, it should have been obvious- the bizarre name, the early morning runs around the base, the effortless evasions whenever the matter of his employment came up- but that does little to ease the shock and the following anger when Tom does, eventually, find out.
AU where Tom "Iceman" Kazansky never goes to the Academy and ends up running into Pete "Maverick" Mitchell under completely different circumstances.

Summary
Maverick doesn’t regret it when he takes the hit, when the last thing he hears before he ejects is Rooster screaming his name.
But then he wakes. Not to a vast, white snowfield behind enemy lines—but to an inverted cockpit of an F-14.
And to Goose, alive and well in the seat behind him.
—
Or; the time-travel fix-it in which TG:M Maverick wakes up at the start of TG (1986).
