the years pass like a ferris wheel (in the rearview mirror) by actuallyitsstar

Summary
(everything is clear in the rearview mirror, the coast highway and the golden hour
everything fits when you tell your story, the blurry portraits in the halls of former loves gone
but nothing was lost)
Maverick doesn’t have a home, never has, never planned to, but he has people that feel like it. Assembling a family like mismatched puzzle-pieces snapping together comes unnaturally to a boy who'd bounced throughout foster care and early adulthood like some unwanted stray, but they fit together anyway, and as quickly as he learns to hold them together, he learns what happens when they are ripped apart. Even in loss, there is solace, though; there are memories and polaroids and the grace that Maverick carries those things with, forever and always. There is a photo collage, like a constellation of love on the wall, and everything that it implies- the reminder that families, by nature, are strong, and hard to break; and that the ones Maverick is dedicated to keeping are somehow even stronger.~welcome to star's silly lil top gun cinematic universe, branching out from time takes no prisoners (you'll see) to share everyone's stories 💗~

Summary
“I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the way you touched me on the beach.”
Oh, is that how it is? Rooster feels his mouth tugging up into a smirk; Bob freezes like a prey animal and it shouldn’t be turning Rooster on, but here they are.

Bookmarker's Notes
In two parts, good version of Jake's backstory. Gives a lot of depth of character. Things referenced in Rooster are explained in Hangman.

Summary
Callsigns are a tricky business, both ultimate weakness and greatest strength. These are some loosely connected vignettes around how Hangman earned his noose, for the good and the ill of it.
