    Summary

    Goose has been dead for a week and a half when Iceman loses his first wingman in a dogfight with six Soviet MiGs over the Sea of Okhotsk.

    Goose has been dead for thirty years when Iceman loses his second wingman to a surface-to-air missile on the tail-end of a mission he's responsible for: he's sent his family on a suicide mission to destroy a uranium enrichment facility in Russia's Far East.

    This is the story of those thirty years in the middle.

    (Or: Tom Kazansky rises through the ranks while trying to stay a good man. If he ever was one to begin with.)

    [Final edit 2/4/23. See Ch. 1 notes for major changes.]

    Summary

    Sam's just chilling watching TV one evening when Bucky comes in and stares at him silently for a minute or two before sitting down on the couch. He's pretty close to Sam.

    Okay, he's really close to Sam. Like, Sam would be using the word 'cuddling' if it wasn't so bizarre.

    "What," he says, carefully not looking at Bucky, and Bucky huffs a sigh.

    "Steve's not here," he says as if it's obvious. "Don't make it weird. Just- shut up."

    Summary

    When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.

    Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.
