Summary
By the time Maverick reached the tarmac, the plane was unloading. He spotted his target stepping off the last of the stairs, sporting his shiny new rank on his shoulders. Maverick jumped out of the cart, strode up to him, and saluted.
“Captain,” Maverick greeted, fighting a grin.
Ice did not fight his smile at all as he turned to face Maverick. He actively laughed even as he returned the salute—likely out of habit, at this point. He must get a good workout in for that right arm now that he served in a command role at his new base.
“Get over here,” Ice said, closing the gap between them and gathering Maverick into a tight hug. “What are you saluting me for?”
***
After months of testing, Maverick found himself in need of a good pilot to help show off his new jet. He knew just the man to call. He couldn't know that inviting Ice out to run a simulated dogfight against Top Gun students would change the course of their careers and their lives forever.

Summary
Fresh from basic training and barely qualified to fly, Tom Kazansky thought he knew how to navigate the rigours of naval aviation. He didn’t expect to meet Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in a dimly lit gay bar on the west coast, let alone find him again aboard the HMCS Bonaventure. But in the shadows of The Purge — a time when love could end careers and exposure could cost lives — temptation and loyalty come with deadly stakes.
As desire ignites, Tom and Pete must balance passion with self-preservation, each encounter pulling them deeper into danger. When a night out is spotted by prying eyes, Tom is questioned, careers hang in the balance, and Tom’s walls grow higher than ever.
Or
In an alternate Canadian Forces where the aircraft carrier Bonaventure still patrols the Canadian coast and the skies are dominated by F-14 Tomcats, young pilot Tom “Iceman” Kazansky is just finding his wings. Fresh from basic and pilot training, Tom is determined to keep his head down in a military culture where one misstep could destroy a career, especially during The Purge, a covert program targeting LGBTQ+ personnel.

Summary
“Do you like them?” Loras Tyrell turned slightly so that Renly could see what he was wearing.
“The clothes?” Renly clarified.
“Obviously the clothes.”
"I do," Renly laughed. "A lot." And seeing that he was still being given the time of day, he decided to push his luck. “But I was wondering, perhaps, if I could potentially see you without the clothes?”
"Without the clothes?" Loras Tyrell just smirked a little wickedly at him. “I’d suggest Google," he said. “Or, if you don’t like the internet, you could try Cosmo. The second issue in March last year to be precise.”
Renly laughed. “Well, you know, that’s not really what I had in mind.”
“Is it not?” There was just a hint of a smile on his face.

Summary
Five years after the world was ravaged by a zombie outbreak, what remains of humanity has learned what it takes to survive. In their new normal, the dead wander the earth with insatiable appetites, families are ripped apart, citizens are abandoned, and the Reds thrive amongst the chaos.
When an unfortunate run-in with some Reds forces Soap to separate from Price and Gaz while hunting, he finds himself seeking shelter from a raging thunderstorm on the doorstep of a wooden cabin. Only he's not alone.
Soap should probably be more worried about the masked stranger with a furrowed brow pointing an arrow at his chest, but there's something intriguing about him, secrets hidden deep within his heart and walls impenetrably built up. And even more shocking is the fact that the stranger allows him inside to take refuge.
What starts at that moment is the beautiful unfolding of a love story between two people who were meant to find each other. It's about learning to trust again, the power of forgiveness, finding hope in the world that has ripped everything from you already, and falling into the arms of someone who will love you unconditionally.

Sebastian has more than gotten used to the chaotic nature of performing around Zuzu City as the synth player in Goblin Destroyer, but what he knows is uprooted when Sam decides to include the heartbreak song Sebastian wrote in their setlist. When he finds that he has to perform the song live in front of hundreds of gridball fans, he wonders if this performance will be the key to getting over his past, or at least aid in ignoring it.

Summary
Loras frowned at the boy, completely bemused. “Why would you be frightened of Lord Renly?” he laughed.
The boy grew pale. “Why would I not be?” He turned his face up to Loras’ rather stubbornly. “I’ve heard that if you say his name three times, it summons a storm. He appears behind you with a clash of lightning.”
Loras just smiled. He wondered whether he should bother telling the boy that that was the worst description of Renly he’d ever heard.
