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.

Sunshine| Robert Floyd Fanfiction
In the high-octane world of Top Gun Maverick, River "Sunshine" Bradshaw has always carried the weight of family legacy. Her father, Nick "Goose" Bradshaw, a beloved Top Gun legend, died before she was born, leaving her older brother, Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw, with a lifetime of grief. Their mother's death when River was just 16 and Rooster 18 only deepened the divide between them, leaving River feeling like she never truly had a family. But after years of being apart, River returns to Top Gun as a promising pilot in her own right, ready to face the skies and prove herself. Reuniting with Rooster, however, isn't as simple as she hoped. Their once-close bond is strained by years of distance and unspoken pain over their parents' untimely deaths. While they try to navigate their fractured relationship, River also finds herself quietly entangled in a secret romance with Robert "Bob" Floyd, a fellow pilot whose quiet, steady presence offers River comfort and understanding. As River works to rebuild her connection with Rooster and find her place within the Top Gun program, she must also navigate the complexities of keeping her love for Bob a secret. Their bond grows stronger amid the chaos of training and combat, but the weight of their shared history-both personal and professional-puts their relationship to the test.Complete
