  1. Summary

    A collection of short stories of our Top Gun favourites
    - stories are NOT interrelated and can each be read as a standalone

    I'm going to mourn Val Kilmer for the rest of my days, he has been my favourite actor since I first watched Willow as a young child and Top Gun and Tombstone are two of my all time favourite films. Rest in peace to a legend of the screen. As a result, I'm apparently in a Bradley/Tom phase, Pete should one day make an appearance in one of these without only being a mentioned character (maybe? no promises?)

    Summary

    Lando’s stomach twisted. “Oscar—”

    “Just… just don’t,” Oscar interrupted, his voice heavy but firm. He spun on his heel, grabbing his bag with a swift motion, the sound of the zipper loud in the tense room. “I can’t. Not now. Not after this. It’s too much.”

    Summary

    “Only one tribute is to be reaped from the male pool. The accompanying tribute will be the youngest male mentor from the pool of previous victors from each district.”

    ---

    Somewhere in District 4's suburbs, a boy gets surrounded by his family, siblings holding hands trying not to think of the unthinkable, wishing their brother won't get called.

    In that same district's victor's village, another boy throws his knife at the middle of the television; nailing at the president right in the head before the screen goes dark.

    Summary

    George Russell did not mean to commit tax evasion. It just sort of… happened. Look, spreadsheets are hard, and his old finance manager had it out for him anyway. Now, he was staring down a £50,000 fine, the possibility of losing his flat, and the terrifying words of “next year’s filing.”

    Solution? Fake a relationship. Obviously.

    Max Verstappen, head of programming and George’s long-suffering workplace nemesis, also happened to have visa issues and a suspiciously decent tax bracket. Combine forces, share liabilities, and get the government off their backs. Should be easy.

    Except now George was sharing his mornings, a cosy flat, and basically his life with Max Verstappen—who insisted on sleeping on the uncomfortable sofa-bed in his computer room, cooked eggs at ungodly hours, and looked unfairly good in hoodies.

    It was fine. It was fake. It was only for taxes…right?

    Alternatively, The Proposal AU that no one asked for.

    Summary

    It’s the profound tragedy of Lando’s life, he thinks, to realise he’s in love with his teammate – just as Oscar Piastri makes a habit of standing one step higher on the podium, forcing Lando to crane his neck to look at him.

    Oscar hates watching the light fade from Lando’s eyes with every victory he takes from him. He accepted the inconvenient truth long ago: he loves Lando. But he loves winning more.
