Summary
A continuation of "A Beautiful Friendship", the story of how Hondo & Maverick originally became friends.
Hondo & Maverick transfer up to NAS China Lake to test Skunkworks' experimental manned version of the SR-72, project name Darkstar. That is, up until they're called to Top Gun after some, ahem, turbulent moments. This turns out to possibly be the most fraught assignment of Hondo's career, because having Maverick's back through training for that mission turns out to come with unexpected challenges. (Like stealing a military aircraft.)
This story starts before the events of Top Gun: Maverick, and runs through the events of the movie.

Summary
" Tom noticed him across the way and raised a hand in a quick wave, a flicker of a smile coming to his face before he descended the stairs and was off in a flash. Jogging off towards the lot. Miles watched him go, too stunned to return the niceties.
Out of sheer curiosity, Miles descended his own set of stairs and climbed the trailer across from him, coming face to face with the door. His eyes scanned over the piece of paper tacked to its surface, reading the words printed in bold, black letters. TOM CRUISE — executive producer and 'Micheal “Mickey” Terry'
Miles thought back to the script and nearly passed out when he realized Tom Cruise was playing his love interest. He would have to play the part of a nineteen-year-old boy who fucked around and fell in love with his teacher, across from Tom Cruise himself.
This was gonna be a disaster. "
-----------
aka, when Miles is cast in an indie film focusing on a gay romance, he's a little skeptical. After all, what good would it do for his career? But his agent insisted, so he went along with it. And then he found out his costar was none other than Tom Cruise. As if this project needed something else to make it a disaster.
