Summary
Pete Mitchell doesn’t have a death wish— at least, he doesn’t care about his death wish. Not anymore.
Medicine has progressed nicely since the 50s when you had no more than three years to get your heart back. Now, with modern chemistry and surgery and all, his doctor tells him he has ten. You have plenty of time, young man, you’ll fall in love before you know it and you’ll feel the blush in your cheeks again, his doctor says.
But Pete Mitchell doesn’t care.-
Or, Pete doesn't have a heart. It only seems fair that he doesn't expect to find it again at TOPGUN.

Summary
They’ve both heard all the philosophical bullshit, of course. Poems about your soul forever seeking its other half, impassioned treatises they were supposed to read in high school English about how you know where your own limbs are, quotes from long-dead guys about physical distance but hearts taking up the same space--that kind of bullshit.
Maverick never put much stock in that kind of thing--he’d hated school. It probably shouldn’t have been surprising that Ice also really did not care about the science or philosophy--they were supposed to be perfect for each other, after all.
(Or: There’s a handshake in the O Club the first night of Top Gun, and the very bearing of “magnetic North” shifts permanently under Ice and Mav’s feet)

Summary
"Are you truly willing to do this, Pete? Are you ready for what awaits you?"
He swallows heavily. "Whatever it takes."If you had a chance to go back in time and fix everything, if you could make a world where you can be happy, would you be willing to sacrifice what you already have?

“Oh my God,” Goose said suddenly next to him. “You like him.”
A shiver ran down his spine.
“What?” he hissed. “No.”OR, the one where Ice and Mav figure out their feelings for each other—with a little help from their friends.
