Ron can't stop bouncing from one foot to the other, but Tom isn't in much better shape, considering he's staring at his watch every two seconds. The airport is particularly full, considering it's March and they are in the middle of the fucking nowhere and the only people on the island are Navy personal and the general population. That probably counts around seven thousand people on a good day. Animals, between the domesticated and the wild, are almost more than people. Ron loves his fucking job sometimes, because that island is their little side of paradise and they're both waiting for the people who are going to make it all even better. They're going to be around long enough, two! whole! weeks!, that they'll have the time to learn to love that place as they should.
I swear to God I'm going to steal a jet and find that fucking plane myself if they don't walk in right now Ice grumbles, and Slider couldn't agree more. Waiting is nerve-racking. Ron finds himself patting his best friend on the shoulder, trying to comfort him and himself too. It took them a month and a half of continuing changing shifts, asking for favours, and flying out during the night to get this time, and they're so eager to start they're buzzing out of their own skin. In all the good ways, because it was all worth it, but that doesn't make them less tired.
Then the first passengers of their flight start to stroll in, and Ron's heart is beating so fast he thinks it's going to leave his body any moment now. Maverick is the first one of the three to be seen, and the pilot is almost running towards Ice, bags forgotten a couple of steps behind them, and when they are near each other, he leaps in his arms and Ice hugs, and they both almost land on the ground from the enthusiasm, laughing and kissing so much he almost misses when his people arrive. Almost but not quiet because Carole takes a page out of Maverick's book and jumps between his arms and hodwy baby, before kissing him so hard he feels like reaching heaven without moving. Carole, let me say hello to him, share a little love, and she's laughing as he tries desperately to breathe before Nick kisses him, hands around his face and moustache tickling his upper lip. Hey big guy he murmurs after they separate. We missed you, he adds before kissing him again. Ron can't even find the words because he's smiling and kissing Carole and hugging Nick, a step away from bursting and melting away. Oh hon' Carole murmurs, still between his arms, we're going to make these two weeks the best of your life. Are you ready for us? she whispers, caressing his hair, and yes, yes, he's so ready. He takes Nick's hand in his and begins walking towards the airport's exit.
They're halfway to the car, Carole giggling in his arms and Nick talking a mile a minute about the flight and how much the hates flying commercial for more than twenty minutes when Ron looks around and he realises something is missing. Where's Tom? he asks to nobody in particular. Ah, don't worry, big guy, they're going to find their way to the base soon enough Carole answers, exchanging a knowing look with Nick. It's Maverick we're talking about, and they hadn't seen each other for months. Mav was a step away from taking his jet here. Fuck the consequences Goose adds, before taking his keys from the back pocket of his cargo pants. I want to swim in the sea before we go back home. What do you think?
We're going skinny dipping; no need for a swim truck, if you get what we're saying, she smiles again, looking over Nick and then Ron. Oh. Oh, these two are going to kill him in the best way. And I have my Polaroid camera with me, so get ready to take pictures everywhere!
(Sixteen days later, Nick, Carole and Pete are on a plane, and they're back on duty. On the bedside table in Ron's room there are three photos, one for each place Carole and Nick decided was the best place on the island, and they're the first things Ron sees when he wakes up, making one day happier than the previous one.)
(Tom takes a picture of the five of them on their jet, and puts it near an old one of him and Pete. They should change your callsign to Sweetman Ron jokes. Go fuck yourself, Ronnie, Tom rebuts, but he's laughing and his cheeks are a little red.)

Theres a new mom and pop coffee shop in Gotham that's doing pretty well. The place has a casual playful vibe but it only ever has one employee, which has lead to it having a bit of a urban myth status.
He's there through all the opening hours and no one ever sees him come or go, only the lights switching off and the teen disappearing.
It probably doesn't help that the shop has a ghost themed name.
His name tag reads, "Nightingale" and he always has a polite smile, but the few who dare to act out in his shop notice his eyes flash a particular shade of green and are suddenly overcome with the feeling that they're being stared down by a large apex predator and a sickening sense of dread.
Needless to say people behave in his shop.
Whats more is that his store shows up on county records just fine, but if you try to look into anything your computer glitches out and you can't find anything. Obviously "Nightingale" can't be the owner, he looks only 15. Some say he's a vampire, others say he's a zombie like Red Hood.
Tim doesn't care what he is because the first time he entered at night as Red Robin the guy immediately started making a coffee were he could see, made it exactly how he liked it and gave it to him before he even had the chance to order. Then he refused his money, saying it was on the house.
None of the people waiting in line argued or were upset and Tim was unsure if that was because he was a well known Gotham vigilante or it Nightingales reputation protected him.
Either way the coffee was delicious.
Tim didn't know how to feel when he found out his family was investigating the "possible runaway" who worked at the coffee shop.

A snippet of Goose explaining polyamory to Bradley.
---------
Carole shifted as she woke from a dream. The glimmers of it hung around her in the blue glaze of twilight but if she tried to think about it, it escaped her like trying to catch smoke.
Slowly, she unlocked each part of her body. Her arms unstuck from her sides, legs stretched tightly as she tried not to disturb Goose or Slider.
But to no avail.
Slider's hand rubbed her stomach underneath her t-shirt. Or rather, his t-shirt. Her's was somewhere on the floor along with the rest of her clothes, apart from her underwear, Goose's t-shirt and Slider's boxers. Apparently he didn't mind going commando underneath his pajama bottoms, something she could feel evidently behind her. He made an excellent big spoon.
Goose groaned in the darkness. He was flat out on his back, one arm around Carole, another underneath Slider. He made an excellent pillow, didn't move too much, although that was for a more morose reason.
After three months of physio, he could walk, but only with a walker. Every day in the rehab hospital had been intense, it had taken its toll on his mental health even if he tried to be positive for them all. Now he was out, he still had hours with the physio, and stretches and exercises too. The pain was immense even if he still had minimal feeling in his legs.
But that didn't stop them making the most of Slider being on leave. Even if he could only lie back, they had no issues. She could feel the slight ache in her thighs now, could feel their hands on her, the images floating around her head, she smiled to herself at the memories.
"Go back to sleep, Carole," Slider murmured into her hair.
"I will, I-"
A small knock at the door got them all darting up. Goose was the most unconscious of all of them. His eyes barely open, hair ruffled and double chin prominent as he lifted his head to look at the door.
"Momma?" Bradley's voice came through the closed door.
"Coming, baby," she replied.
Rolling off of Goose, she padded along the floor to the door. She'd started to convert the garage into their bedroom as soon as she could after learning Goose would have to relearn how to walk. Climbing up the stairs was too much of a feat for now.
She opened the door and her heart melted. Bradley stood silhouetted by darkness. The outline of his goose in his tight grip, his baggy plane pyjamas and him rubbing his eyes made for an impossibly cute image.
"Can't sleep?" She asked.
He shook his head.
"Come on, sleep in our bed tonight,"
He nodded and toddled after her as she crawled back into bed. Her and Slider shuffled back slightly to make room for Bradley to lie on Goose.
She watched him climb up up the bed, wiggling as he pushed himself up until she sighed and picked him up. He carried on wiggling as he got settled on Goose's chest.
For a second they all calmed down. Her breathing regulated as she watched Bradley with one eye open. Slider's hands locked around her middle. The regular thrumming of Goose's heartbeat ran through her head.
Just as she could feel herself slipping back asleep again, she saw Bradley dart up.
"Why's Uncle Slider in your bed?"
They all looked at each other, then back at him. She gulped. Slider's hands tensed around her middle. Sneaking a glance at him, she saw his eyes wide and him biting his lip.
She didn't know what to say. It was too late to explain the nature of their relationship to Bradley. There would be too many questions and she was far too tired
Luckily, Goose came to their rescue.
"He's in our bed because we love him a lot," he said. "We love him like we love each other, okay? We'll explain it in the morning."
Bradley didn't say anything at first. She knew he was staring straight at Slider, not meaning to be malicious but having that innate toddler nature to be creepy.
But after a few seconds, he simply said, "Okay," and lay back down on Goose's chest to sleep.

Duck, duck, duck, duck, Goose! | Top Gun Fanfic 🧸
Top Gun AU✈️
Tumblr media
——
Pairing: Nick Bradshaw x Carole Bradshaw , Pete Mitchell & Tom Kazansky
Summary: When it came to kids Carole, Iceman and Maverick only had to worry about two. Bradley and his young brother, Dane. Then came Jenny. It seemed fit, 3 for 3! But when another Mitchell kid, came along they realized they had more on their hands. 4 for 4!
Characters mentioned/include: Audrey, Buzz, Wraith, Slider, Hazel, and the rest of the 86’ class
Timeline: Post-Top Gun (1986), Pre Top Gun Maverick
Warning: Canon character death mentioned
Fic type: Fluff and humorous, with small moments of angst
Previous fic —> Click here
———
There were moments like this where if you told Maverick and the others years ago, that kids would be part of the agenda they would’ve laughed at you so hard and through you were crazy.
But then the kids started coming over the years.
It started with Goose and Carole. High school sweethearts destined to get married and have kids of their own, where everyone can only wish to have a portion of what they had.
Of course, they had little Bradley Bradshaw or baby goose as he was nicknamed.
Adorable little blonde boy with cubby cheeks and a curious little smile that meant determination. He looked just like his father in every way, Maverick would tell his nephew that years to come.
It was great being a little group of 4. Memories made and laughs saved.
But sadly, then Goose died after a training accident while Carole and Bradley were there to visit them. Maverick felt horrible, so did Iceman, Audrey and the rest of the 86’ class. Gloomy painful days were to come after that.
However there was a flip side, a little surprise to come after the clouds were blowing away.
And that little beam of sunlight became Dane Bradshaw many months later.
Carole didn’t know she was pregnant at the time until Audrey pointed out how fuzzy she felt lately and honestly they couldn’t have been happier in that moment.
Maverick lightly joked, “Wow! I guess Goose really take you to bed.”
“Oh Mav, play nice and that was a little secret.” Replied the Carole with a smile joking back.
Sunset chuckled, “And made sure to leave a bag of surprises afterwards.”
Goose really did leave a bag of surprise afterwards but they didn’t know that yet until years later.
Duck, duck, duck, duck, Goose!
Dane Bradshaw was the spitting image of his mother with such a warmth and gentle smile to him, he was nicknamed pooh bear.
Him and Bradley were only 2-3 years apart in age, but there will be moments where they acted like they shared the same brain cell. Being silly little ducklings, surprising people with their charm and sweet tactics.
There were days Carole would come home to the kids (along with Maverick) causing a mess in the house baking. Days where the boys will go playing with water guns and end up getting Audrey’s clothes wet.
Or with Iceman, where Bradley would show their uncle an idea for an airplane to build with boxes and other items in the house. Meanwhile Dane would collect all the ideas, wanting to go big or go bold enough to shine with their plane where Ice couldn’t have the heart to say no.
Other times, Dane was the sweetest thing in the whole entire world. A gushing image is a gentle breeze holding up flowers to his aunties such as Hazel and Audrey, making get well cards for his mama. Hugging his uncle Mav and teasing his uncle Ice with a little grin.
But he was also very protective, him and his brother, being a guard dog when it comes their mother. That goes for Hazel, Valkyrie, Audrey and whatever other lady in their lives.
————
Speaking on ladies, they were surprised at the time she arrived. It was an unexpected surprise indeed as for she came at an old hour of the night. No alert, no phone call or an letter from the post man.
Just an knock on the door in a carrier held the first half of The Mitchell-Bradshaw clan. Jennifer Penelope Mitchell, or as she was nickname princess.
Don’t worry she gets a handful of nicknames later on, so do all the kids!
Pete and Ice were in total shock at the bundle of joy brought to their attention but welcomed her with open arms nonetheless.
It took Maverick a long couple of hours, even days to fully get his head around the fact he had a daughter.
It wasn’t until Carole met her and saw the cheeky little smile that she said, “Yup, Pete she’s yours alright!”
“Yes she is.” Audrey added, blowing raspberries into her cheek.
The girls fell in love with Jenny overnight, engulfed by her sweetness but since she was Mav’s kid the girl hated to sleep and very silly. According Iceman she was stubborn like her father but Audrey would say she’s stubborn like him instead.
When Carole brought the boys to meet their cousin/future best friend, Bradley was taken back by Jenny and Dane was curious rather shy about the ideas.
“Mama! Does that mean I have to share a room with her too?” Bradley asked pointed to the girl.
“Wha’ she do?” Dane added, his vocabulary and grammar not very accurate yet.
It was silly, since Dane Bradshaw was close enough be to around less than 2 years older than her but he was curious about the situation, not wanting to share the spotlight with anyone. Same thing when for Bradley, even though he was the oldest.
Carole had to correct them saying, “No boys, you don’t have to share a room with her. And she is just a baby, so she doesn’t do much yet. But I think you guys are gonna like her a lot.”
And as always, Carole Bradshaw is correct!
Since Bradley quickly warmed up to Jenny wanting to show her everything and take the girl everywhere he went like the big brother he is to Dane. Especially when Jenny got older he got to joke around, watching over her and and play with her a lot more.
Bradley nicknamed her Jenny Penny.
Dane, since they were somewhat closer in age range per say, the two were pretty close. Dane being softer, very silly toward the girl and more importantly being protective, catching up on new things with things he learned at school and playing with her a lot of the time.
He nicknamed her JenJen.
Eventually the boys would give her the classic nickname and future callsign, JenPen.
But Jenny Mitchell wasn’t the one who got nicknames, because to her Bradley was Brad Brad and Dane was Danny Boy.
Even though as the years went on, her nicknames for them changed to Chicken and Engineer.
———
Soon enough Baby Goose, Pooh Bear, and Princess had a 4th to complete the group (hopefully)…
…Daffy Duck!
Other name being used for Austin Mitchell.
If one Mitchell kid wasn’t enough, look no more to a second one! That was another surprise that left Carole, Iceman, Audrey and Maverick himself flabbergasted at the news. But it’s wasn’t an total surprise since Maverick was known for being in the dating scene a long time, falling in and out of love with several women because the attraction was a strong thing.
Like a lot things, it never lasted too long ending up in heartbreak, loneliness and confusion, thinking it was a short fling.
But as we learned that every actions has an equal opposite reaction. That resulted in his son, in which he chuckled and sighed in awe of the little smile that entered his world. He fell in love with his kid the moment he met him.
Slider joked, “Alright, either Maverick needs to do something about the love making around here or Goose had an grand ol’ conversation about bringing four ducklings with the big man upstairs when he left?!”
Iceman glared at his best friend jokingly, “Very funny, buddy. There is no way Mother Goose had this all figured out and planned for this to happened. It was just fate!”
Maverick shut them both up carrying his son in his arms and said, “Oh shut it you two! Before we know it you’re popping out kids of your own.”
Carole smiled, “My husband wouldn’t do such a thing, even if he did I think theses were gifts. Look how cute they are!”
~~~~~
Two blondes and two brunettes, all wrapped into a cute little gift baskets from Mother Goose himself.
“Yeah no Slider’s right, Nicholas Bradshaw brought down four ducking after his departure!” Audrey added a few minutes later.
~~~~~
Austin Mitchell was a spitting imagine and reminder of his father, times 10! From his brownish-green eyes to his nose, even the floppy mess of chocolate brown locks. His smile was no different, giggling about his favorite things and moving around with so much energy that he could become the next marathon runner for god’s sake.
But like any kid here, especially a kid that belongs to Maverick Mitchell, Austin was a clumsy boy knocking into everything and getting himself stuck in troubling situations. It was cute but also kinda annoying.
“A little tornado warning should come with him.” Joked Wraith once he met the boy with a smile.
Nonetheless he was loved. Jenny was only two years old when she got her baby brother, wanting to parenting him and keep the little guy out of danger with a pout. But then again, she was also very clumsy and cheeky herself so they both ended up in a little sticky situation.
Seriously, both kids were found in the kitchen once eating one of their father’s favorite sweet treat, being honeybuns, while on the floor giggling.
Iceman snorted so loud seeing his niece and nephew happily eating the dessert that his only questions was, “How did you two get your hands on it in the first place?”
“Unca Iceee!” Austin only yelled with a little smile and sticky fingers.
“You wan’ some?” Added Jenny with the similar little smile.
Other times, Austin would be the only one brave enough for certain things, dragging Bradley along to meet new people such as when they met Wraith or Buzz for the first time. Austin scared poor Wraith with his chaotic tendencies meanwhile Buzz laughed his ass off.
Plenty of times, that chaotic charm the young boy naturally held would bring a smile to the faces he meets, like when he met Ark and Hazel. When Austin finished hanging out with Hazel, she wanted to keep this boy for herself.
…but there were some moments where Austin’s shining personality mixed with the wrong crowd.
Let’s just say Ice and Mav enrolled him into little league baseball practice for one week, but midway through that same week the coach had to call Audrey to take the kid back home. Because due to Austin’s style, tiny temper and competitive nature when his team wasn’t winning, he decide to use his baseball bat and hit one of the kids from the other team with it.
The kid went as far as to chase the other children around the field in revenge and when Audrey heard that, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She knew it was a bad thing and they probably had to enroll him into a different sport, but the image in her head of her nephew chasing the other kids around like a Looney Tune character was too funny.
“Yup, he was definitely Pete’s son.” She said with a smile, picking up her nephew to take him out for ice cream and a small lecture onto how it’s not nice to hit people.
Let’s just say Audrey wasn’t the only one laughing at the news that day about why Austin Mitchell might not return to baseball practice that week.
————
Speaking of Austin, since he was hopefully the last baby for now at least, they decided to set up a color coordinated system for the kids.
That meant if gifts were given, certain items were being delivered, and everyday things like cups, hats, sweaters, backpacks, socks and or etc. each child had their own version of one.
Hell, each kid had certain days set on the calendar, where they all had to do something the other wanted. Like park, mall, trips to the beach and or going to the movie theater.
It was Carole’s idea! So there were no fighting, especially since they were all so little at the time.
Bradley’s things always had a cherry red dot, cute little red label or red post it note on them. (Sometimes apple or red-orange color)
Dane’s things always had a sunny yellow dot, little yellow label or yellow post it note on them. (Sometimes bumblebee or yellow-green color)
Jenny’s things always had a rosy pink dot, little pink label or pink post it note on them. (Sometimes lilac or pink-red color)
Austin’s things always had a sky blue dot, little blue label or blue post it note on them. (Sometimes olive or blue-green color)
And honestly, it was pretty helpful at the time when they were just little kids. Since they knew once they got older, all four of them would pick certain colors to wear, act differently for types of situations and understand the concept of what is not their stuff, don’t take.
But of course like any set of children, no matter what you did or how many times you had to lecture them about a topic, they will always fight about something. Like toys, bedding, backpacks, clothes, food and things to do together.
Like when Bradley and Dane were fighting over a certain Star Wars backpack they saw at Walmart to take for back to school time.
Or when Austin and Jenny were arguing about a DC LEGO sets they both wanted to buy, Batman or Superman sets.
They were kids! You can’t prepare for everything, so the parents always stepped in making the decision for them or had to settle on a small compromise on what’s the verdict. 
——
Nonetheless, they were good kids that’s what matters.
Yes, they were all different ages with vastly different views on things and personalities but that’s what makes them unique.
They care about their children way too much and thanked Goose for sending such a wonderful set of surprises and memories to come.
But the question that the adults tend to have on their minds was, how would the world handle their set of ducklings as they grow up?
What kind of experiences they will have?
Who will fall in love and who will get their heart broken?
Will there be friends or foes that come they’re way?
So many questions but only time will tell…
———
Thank you so much for reading this! 🎬 I know, it’s not exactly formatted like my other stories per say but it was an interesting way to introduce theses kids.
What was your favorite part? 💕

Different version of daggers meet Jake's dads, but in the other au I'm writing (and squealing about!!)
They joked about roos being nepotism kid, having been raised by Mav (maybe mav and Goose, in an au where goose lives ❤️, but mav doesnt grow that much close to tom), and Jake obviously has Chris last name, no one connected to navy or anything. Until they see him break in the wildest grin that has mav reconsider everything cause fuck I know that grin, and shortly do grabby hands and running-crashing against the compacflt and his second in command and that small blond that is basically Jake but smaller and with tattoos.
Omg yes okay
So I’m writing this in the au of Chris x Ron x Tom just because I can.
Mav and Goose were leaning against the bar talking with Bradley. Everyone so far has made fun of him for being such the nepotism baby.
Mav noticed that Jake is the only one who hasn’t made a jab at him. Jake just keeps checking his phone.
He hears more people come into the bar, but Goose hits him. He turns and looks, shit is that Tom? And Ron Kerner? Who the hell is the blond under their arms?
Jake takes off from the group. He slams into them. Goose can’t help it he lets out a “what the fuck.”
Jake gets a kiss on the head from each man, he drags them back over. “Mav pretty sure you know who this is.”
God that little shit. “Hey Tom. Hi Ron. Hello blond man who is Jake in 20ish years.”
That gets a laugh out of Jake. He grins.
Oh fuck. That’s the grin Tom gave him in the locker room at top gun. Is Jake Tom’s kid?
“Mav meet my dads. Ron, Tom, and Chris Seresin.”
Goose snaps out of it before Mav does. “Good to see you guys again. Congrats on all the promotions.” He shakes everyone’s hands, “didn’t know you had a kid Tom.”
Tom smiles, he ruffles Jake’s hair, “yeah. Didn’t talk about it.” Jake smacks at his tata’s hand, “shut it.”
Bradley raises his hand from where he’s sitting behind them. Ron points “clone of Goose go ahead.” Bradley thinks for a second, “y’all can’t like permanently ruin me if I ask this right?”
Tom laughs. “Oh I can but I’ll let it slide tonight.”
Bradley nods. “Are y’all all together?”
Jake blinks at Bradley, “you’re dumber then you look aren’t you.”
“Jake I swear to god I don’t care that your dads are here I’ll kick your ass.” “I’d love to see you try Roo.”
Chris claps his hands together. “Boys!”
They both blush. “To answer Bradley’s question, yeah we are.”
Mav leans over to Ron. “Were you guys together when we were at top gun?”
Tom answers from where he’s leaning against Ron. “Kinda. Ron and I were hooking up but he was with Chris. Didn’t realize I could have both of them until Chris called me a fucking idiot and kissed me when we got back to Texas.”
Goose blinks. “Oh my god.” He points at Jake. “That’s why he has that evil grin you guys both have.”
Jake laughs. “You nailed it old man.”
Bradley blinks again. “Wait a second you’re also a nepotism baby!”
Tom glances at Jake, “he’s not wrong.” “Hey! Don’t agree!”
Mav tilts his head. “How the hell did I not know this?” Chris answers this again. “Wanted to keep him safe from the navy. Biology wise he’s my nephew, so we just kept our last name. Didn’t ever marry legally.”
Ron kisses the side of Tom’s head, “there was that hippy dippy wedding we did though.” Tom laughs and pulls Chris under his arm, “that was a fun wedding.”
They break off into chatting in polish, Jake tries to not hear what they’re saying. He smiles as he watches his dads. Bradley touches his elbow. “I’m sorry. I was a real dick.”
Jake laughs. He taps his fingers on Bradley’s chest. “Not like I was an angel but you had it coming. Needed you to jump off that cliff you were standing at.”
Bradley and Jake hug, Chris leans back and kisses both of his men. “Think he’ll be okay?” Ron tucks Chris in between them. “Yeah they’ll work it out.”
“Sexually.”
“Tom I swear to god.”
Chris laughs. “He’s not wrong it’s like watching you two.”
There’s a chorus of heys but Chris just keeps smiling. He catches the rest of the daggers looks. “Go on get me a drink, I think we’re about to be interviewed.”

au in which Mav and Ice compete for Top Gun in different years, Ice is '85 and Mav in '86, so they don't know each other but they know of each other. When they meet is in the middle of the fucking ocean, from two different carriers, and Ron is a step away for fuckin' mutiny because he can't live with that. Nick can't either and their going to bond over their bad luck.
The meeting goes USS Enterprise this isn't your route, please adjust the coordinates and get the hell out of it to which they respond with a no, you are on the wrong path. You should change course and get the hell out of it because everybody lost their fucking mind and never learn a lick of protocol. And so both carriers stop, less than a nautical mile of distance, and Commander Pete Maverick Mitchell opens his mouth and Commander Tom Iceman Kazansky does the same. Because, again, nobody knows a damn about protocol. But everything changes when Maverick says I'm better Kazansky and Iceman answer At what, pray to tell? with his ice cold stare, tracing him from head to feet and the Commander's cheeks are red and the man behind him murmurs a ah fuck, here we are again.
How that translates in Commander Mitchell coming on board of the USS Layton just to leave the afternoon of the day is a mystery for the entire Navy but not for Goose and Slider. Fuck why it always has to be them?!

(give your heart a break on ao3)
Bradley had never been one for restless energy, but it seemed that it had followed him home, like a stray dog, tracking mud through the carpet, sitting in bed with him. He wonders if that has to do with having shared a near death experience with his godfather about a week and a half ago. These days he drifts off to sleep well past three, according to the old radio clock by his bed.
The faint knock on the door startles him, though. It’s day nine of not really being able to sleep and of course it can only be one person. As Bradley rolls off of his bed and groans, the radio clock marks 2:43 AM. He moves around barefoot to open the door and finds his father on the other side, wearing that  usual expression of his, gentle but amused.
“Can’t sleep, Chickadee?”
The pet name always makes Bradley snort in return, as he stretches his back by arching backwards.
“How’d you even know?”
Somehow Nick Bradshaw, Goose, always knew everything. Even if he didn’t let others know that he knew. He always knows; something about having been a RIO and needing eyes everywhere.
“I think,” His father starts, arms folding over his chest. “If you rolled and tossed more, you’d jump out the window, kiddo. Floorboards are creaking under your bed.” It’s not an admonishment, but his way of bringing up the fact that he knows his son all-too-well, and that for the past week and a half he’s probably been listening to him toss and turn like an insomniac pancake.
“Well, why are you awake?” Rooster retorts playfully, instead of addressing his own thing, and Goose shoots back a bashful smile on the same wavelength. It turned out that two Navy men with their own share of issues living under the same roof had their own sort of understanding. But Goose and Rooster also happened to be father and son and very close friends, mind you.
(A Nick ‘Goose’ Bradshaw lives! AU - aesthetic because I couldn’t resist myself)

OKAY OKAY WAIT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FINISHED WITH THE MIKEY BABY FIC-Y BUT I just had a random idea pop out of nowhere where Mikey gives the reader, or vice versa, a coupon for having a baby! That may sound ridiculous but I took inspiration from your idea in Mikey's section of "Taking the lead". This is just a random funny thought, you don't have to acknowledge it in anyway LMAO.
I've read and seen some of your other things that aren't turtles related and they're honestly pretty good! I don't know anything about Star Wars but the lazy morning with Fives feels almost bittersweet, mainly sweet though, bitter cause I think you mentioned one time that Fives had been ohno'd, I send my condolences o7
Also gonna get the Cassandra Cut (Bald™) tomorrow my time, hope they accept cartoon references! 👍😃👌 And I hope you're doing well and taking breaks and such! 🦆🤗🦢
Best wishes!

your suggestion actually made me go :0c i was like "wow BV anon here having a Big Brain Moment",, genius! i have written a little draft to more or less know where i want to go with the fic but i'll definitely be using this, thank you so much!♥
"cause I think you mentioned one time that Fives had been ohno'd" made me laugh so hard for some reason xD but seriously thank you sm for checking out my other writings even if you're not in the sw fandom?? 🥺🥺💓
and yay for the cassandra cut™! i'm currently in deseprate need of a haircut and i'm seriously considering just shaving it all off too lmao it's too hot and i'm lazy, but i'm also broke and hair salon prices are bonkers ;;_;; but hey let me know how it goes and if they did take the cartoon refs heh
other than the heat (my room is a little oven and i hate it) i'm doing good, thank you!
i wish you all a fabulous weekend full of good vibes and excellent food<3

i was thinking of making some sort of goose lives au, though the only bit i’ve gotten so far is instead of dying after the ejection malfunction, he becomes paraplegic or has some other sort of physical disability that keeps him from flying again. but you can’t keep him away from the navy, so he ends up becoming some sort of mechanic/something he can do while disabled. maybe he helps run the hard deck, i dunno, he makes it work.
flash forward, top gun: maverick, he’s working with maverick on the darkstar jet (the jet in the beginning of the movie if ur lost, because I had no idea what it was called for a while) and when maverick crashes it, they both get transferred to top gun instead of just maverick for the mission.
realistically I know goose and rooster wouldn’t be in the same mission but shut up let me have this ok. goose did not deserve to die and I am going to make it my mission to fix that.
