Danielle loves flying. She joined the U.S. Navy out of college and became an aviator. She's an accomplished pilot and has the record to prove it. Now, she's called back to Top Gun, along with others of the Navy's best, to take part in a mission that is unlike any they have flown before. Intense training and high stakes await them with every turn. Yet among the pressure of the mission and life's turbulence, Danielle finds something completely unexpected. [Bob Floyd x OC] [minor Jake 'Hangman' Seresin x OC] Author's Note: I do not own Top Gun: Maverick or its characters, NCIS or their characters, or Liz Mitchell [OC that belongs to my beta reader, @Mistys-Blerbz, whom I have permission to include in this fic]. I only own Danielle, her story line, and any other original characters. Please keep in mind that while I have included medical and military related scenes in this fic, I have no background in either. I have attempted to do research and am trying my best.

There were few people that Thorin Oakenshield trusted. He trusted his kin, but that was it. After losing the Lonely Mountain, the dwarves of Erebor were looked down upon by many races of Middle Earth and elves had a special place of distrust in Thorin's mind. Except... Oreliell and her sister are wanderers, traveling across the vastness of Middle Earth, surviving in the wilds and helping those that needed it. Then, one day, they stumble upon a company of thirteen dwarves, a wizard, and a halfling. Author's Note: Please do not steal my work! I do not own the Hobbit or the characters, but I do own my OCs and the parts of the plot that are not part of the movies. I have worked very hard on this fic. Please be respectful and do not steal.
