    Summary

    G-force pulls all of the blood from Maverick’s head. He fights to remain conscious, but more than that, he fights to hold on to whatever sense of reason he has left.

    The frames from his dream play out with an evil accuracy, and the scared part of his brain finally allows himself to realize that something is very, very wrong. This has happened before. Every molecule of it, every breath — from the blaring of alarms to the blinding blue of the sky that drives nails into his skull.

    Maverick Mitchell has arrived.

    Or: Maverick gets stuck in a time loop.

    Title from various lines of Take My Breath Away, by Berlin.

    Summary

    " He glanced at a calendar on the wall below the register as that same voice yelped out the rest of the lyrics, “Too much love drives a man insane! You broke my will, but what a thrill! Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!” The calendar was open to July of 1986. And so Bradley Bradshaw realized three things all at the exact same time.

    He had somehow time-traveled back to the exact time and date when his father and his godfather were at TOPGUN. Both of his parents were alive once more and stood somewhere in this diner with him. And one of the very few memories he had of his father was underway at that very moment. "

    -----------------

    aka, Bradley Bradshaw somehow manages to travel back in time for a few hours. He learns a few things about his parents he might've been better off not knowing.

    Summary

    To the end of time, Carole insists that it was Pete and Nick who talked her into going. In no way did sweet little Carole Anne Wright come up with a plan to acquire fake IDs, “borrow” her sister’s car, and drive three hours across the state border to see Led Zeppelin play in Louisville. She’d tell you she didn’t even like Led Zeppelin, despite the multiple posters tacked up on her bedroom wall, ripped straight out of Creem magazine. No ma’am, no sir.

     

    or, 5 times Goose, Maverick, and Carole cause enough trouble to get themselves thrown out of a bar, and one time they stay home.
