Disclaimer: I've posted this first on AO3 under Finley_Lj (Oceansoldier) and will be updating more regularly there.
In an alternate WWII where air combat is faster, deadlier, and more secretive than ever, a classified squadron trains in silence-operating beneath the public eye, far from the glory of headlines. Among them is Lt. Robert "Bob" Floyd, a soft-spoken yet brilliant backseater whose quiet presence belies a sharp mind and steady hand. When he's assigned to fly with a fiercely driven pilot known as Phoenix, Bob finds himself thrust into a world of high-stakes missions, buried grief, and fragile camaraderie.
Under the shadow of war, Top Gun is reborn-not as a school, but as a proving ground for the best and most broken. As Bob and his team fight to stay one step ahead of the enemy, they'll learn that not all battles are fought in the skies... and not all wounds bleed.
Some heroes fly below the radar: unseen, unheard, but never forgotten.

Absolution 6: Pursuit of Happiness [Top Gun - IceMav & Hangster]
Top Gun x Twisters Crossover (kind of, it mostly focuses on Top Gun) This takes place after my modified version of Top Gun: Maverick. (The story is called A Shift in Perspective but I don't like the title, so I might change it idk). The whole series is called Absolution and I think you should check it out ;) Ice tries to reconnect with his adopted son, Jake. His wife, Sarah, had passed away many years ago now and he's only tried to have another serious relationship once - with Maverick. The Dagger mission was successful and it brought Maverick back into Ice's life. They both want to try and rekindle what they had. Years ago, Jake had looked into who his biological family was and discovered he has a twin brother, Tyler Owens. He's nervous about telling his dad that he looked into it but he wouldn't mind having a big family. He also wouldn't mind going on a date with his crush, Bradley. Unfortunately, that would mean he'd have to tell Bradley that he has a crush on him and Jake doesn't think he'd be able to survive the embarrassment.Complete

There are some depictions of wounds, blood, and mental trauma. ● Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw X OC ● Jake 'Hangman' Seresin X OC Tesha "Bones" Dupont, now known as "Coroner" has moved up from Lieutenant to Captain in a very short period of time. While the rest of the graduating class from Top Gun think that it's amazing, they also wonder how it was possible for her to accomplish her new rank so quickly. And what's with the call sign change? With her new call sign came a new identity. With her new identity came a past she's doesn't take pride in and it shows. As she helps Maverick train the aviators for an impossible mission, her past haunts her more than ever. Suspicions arise, but she refuses to explain her strange change in character. If she tells them, there's a good chance she will get thrown out of the navy altogether. But this goes beyond the navy... This story will have a lot of things not pertaining to Top Gun: Maverick. ⚠️I own no characters from either Top Gun movies and I own only one song used in this book and I will specify which one. For the other songs, those rights go to whom they belong. Thanks!Complete
Call Back {Top Gun Maverick - Completed}
Hennessey "Maneater" Benjamin, daughter of Penny Benjamin and Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, gets called back to Top Gun, for an unknown mission. As one of the best in her graduating class, Maneater was an extremely motivated woman, catching the eye of Iceman; the reason for her being called back. Having gotten her call sign from her agressive nature in dogfights, Hennessey was a force to be reckoned with. Even one that stood strong against Maverick. Only after finding Maverick sneaking out of her mother's house and Iceman telling her does she figure out where she got her love for flying from. Only between the struggle of finding family, losing people, finding love, and surviving the mission, does Hennessey really find her true calling. ~~~ Comments are greatly appreciated <3 ~~~ 1st Book in the Call Back Series ~~~ ○{Fanboy x OC}○ ○{Hangman x OC}○ ○{Rooster x OC}○ ○{Bob x OC}○ ○{Slider x OC}○Complete![𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗸 [𝗯. 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗱] ✔](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/323981182-256-k399399.jpg)
