kismet harbor's 100th annual winter festival - snowball bowling

Bradley enjoyed festivities in Kismet Harbor. The sense of community had always held a strong presence and it made him want to participate in the local events held throughout the year. He had just caught up with the parents of some students as he made his way through downtown Kismet Harbor until something caught his attention. The line wasn't all that long at the moment, "Snowball bowling?" Bradley peered at the sign that was near the front of the line, "You just watching or participating?"

death defying acts | bradley "rooster" bradshaw

series summary: Only one percent of US aviators can say they are Top Gun. You weren’t part of the elite aviators for the country, nor someone that quickly climbed the Navy ladder. Your skills and destiny led you to Intelligence work, and you believed you weren’t using your full potential. Until one day you’re transferred to San Diego to work with Captain Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell and The Dagger Squad. New team, new mission, new challenges, and one small problem named Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw.

this is a bradley "rooster" bradshaw x fem!reader series

general content warning: minors please DNI thank you, lots of inaccuracies regarding the US Navy and aviation (I did my best researching, but some details might have slipped off or I just ignored in order to create my storyline), afab!reader, no descriptions of reader (tried to keep those as broad as possible so anyone could see themselves here), angst, implied and explicit smut, violence, action, implied deaths and lots of fights. for more details, check each individual warnings at the beginning of the chapters.

chapters

file 001 — call sign: Hyde

file 002 — brand new bar, same old problems

file 003 — things never go as planned

file 004 — TBA

more files to be announced

series note: the following events take place after the uranium mission seen in the movie. i'm making things up and trying to keep it close to reality as much as possible, but this is fanfic, so chill guys. as per usual, i'm taking requests for scenes or ideas for dda (death defying acts), so please don't be shy and send me those via askbox or dms.

author's note: hi guys! it's me, effie with another fic about hot guys i'd like to— you know what i mean. english is not my first language, and i tend to take a few weeks to update the story, but don't give up on me, ok? anyway, first time writing for top gun: maverick characters, so i'm doing my best with all the details i could pick up from the movie.

[owensfitzpatrick]

where: penelope’s apartment who: @penelxpebradley​ & owen fitzpatrick

The day had been longer than most. Conferring with property lawyers and contractors, consoling his mother who was suffering from two tragedies now between the deli and her youngest son, taking care of a restless Abel who’d been fussy for the entire day, all the while trying to maintain a semblance of sanity in the face of friends and loved ones. He’d made the decision to set down his roots in Wilmington permanently once again, vowing to get the business back up to its former glory, but it was beginning to look like a much bigger task than even he’d assumed. Owen had certainly been through his fair share of shit over the years, but this felt different. It was all out of his control, and this feeling of powerlessness wasn’t something he took to very kindly. And, worst of all, his pride wouldn’t allow him to seek help. In his eyes, he could have done more to prevent the deli from getting destroyed in the storm, could have been back up in his hometown before his brother got in the accident, could have put these worries in his hands before they became worries. 

Things were a mess. And that’s what brought him to Penelope’s door.

He wasn’t drunk for once. He’d thought about downing a couple of shots, but the nausea in his stomach prevented him from doing so. Owen could barely eat, could barely sleep through the stress that was mounting on top of him. Colleen had taken Abel for the night, leaving the raven-haired male to his thoughts — something that was never a good idea. Which is why he found himself at Penelope’s, around one in the morning (still earlier than usual) and stone-cold sober. Rapping on her door a couple of times, the male took a step back as he waited for a response.

file 003 — things never go as planned

chapter three of death defying acts

previous chapter | masterlist | next chapter

cw: fem!reader, afab!reader, no descriptions of reader (i'm really trying to keep my descriptions of her and her background to a minimum so i can be inclusive to all people, but let me know if i can improve), no use of y/n, reader has a call sign (i had to pick one, it makes sense for the story), innacuracies about the navy, topgun and army (i did my best guys), this takes places after the events of the movie, lmk if i missed anything.

You’re sitting in the lecture room — which is basically one of the empty rooms in the Hangar One, but with chairs, a screen and a white board — after the first mission simulation. According to the schedule, you’ll have one every two weeks, and this weeks’ you were assessing a few pieces of information, passing them over the radio, giving your notes and plans to the mission chief.

You really hoped you could take the lead first thing after arriving in San Diego, however maybe it was a blessing in disguise. Because that simulation was shitty. The worst in your life. Of course you had a few highlights, such as the speed you were dealing with the readings and breaches you’re seeing while watching the pilots, but it was a shit show.

Maverick was making everyone go through their data, pointing out what can be improved. You exhaled each time you noticed something that flew under your radar during the first week. This was nothing like previous simulations you were part off.

“Officer Hyde, anything you wanna point out on this run?” For the first time, Maverick asked for your contribution to that lecture.

You looked at the screen, then at your tablet and notes. Bradley Bradshaw’s mission run. Aside from the briefing, the aviators weren’t given much information about what was working or not during training, just direct orders of what to do. On the other side of the comms, you knew what worked and what was doomed to fail.

You remember telling Officer Stewart about Bradshaw’s time being over the mark, which was a crucial factor into this simulation. You looked over his stats again, “Lieutenant Bradshaw opted for not using all of the power of his jet, which led to failure to reach the target in the estimated time. Even though he was one of the few that went undetected by the defense system, he failed to follow the briefing and mission chief’s orders.”

“What could he have done to improve his time?”

“First of all, he should’ve taken advantage of his jet speed.” You felt like stepping on eggshells, but it was true. “With max speed, he would be reaching the target even faster, since his lines are sharper than most.”

“There’s many ways to fly a mission, Officer.” Since you were sitting on the last row of chairs, you couldn’t see much of his face as he spoke.

“Oh, not this again, Rooster,” Hangman interjected. “We’ve been here before, just suck it up and admit you’re wrong.”

“I know, Lieutenant, but your way wasn’t fast enough, which was the main goal of this simulation,” you replied in a low and controlled voice. “I wouldn’t point out your lack of speed if there wasn’t a problem.”

Maverick didn’t give him much room to reply back, moving to Phoenix and Bob’s simulation. You went back to taking notes, ignoring all the irrelevant information that was shared — i.e., their clapbacks at each other.

Intelligence work was mostly about collecting data, analyzing it really quickly, and filling out reports or action plans for someone else to use. If what your mom dug up was right, the Intelligence team acting in Europe was looking for a new Officer, and they were testing a few candidates in all aspects, sending them out to missions and teams that are hard to work with.

The lecture took an eternity to wrap up. 

“Hyde, can you stay back for a moment?” Maverick asked.

You piled up your tablet and notes, and waited for everyone to leave. Bob and Nat mouthed You’re screwed jokingly, and you held back your laughter.

“Officer Stewart sent me your reports this morning,” he pulled a folder from the simulation notes. “I’m impressed.”

“Thank you, sir.”

“I do remember seeing you in your mother’s arms a few times when Warbird was still being deployed,” he added. “I always thought you would end up in the sky.”

“They’re happy that I decided on a desk in front of the screens rather than inside of a cockpit.” You pressed your stuff closer to your chest. “Is there anything you wanna discuss about the simulation reports, sir?”

“No, everything’s good. Hope to have you around more.” Two compliments from Maverick? Well, that is something to text your parents about right away. “And if you ever decide to go back on a jet, let me know.”

“Thank you, sir.”

You left the room, Maverick’s offer feeling like a curve ball thrown in your direction. Your dad’s reputation definitely gave people that idea you would follow his steps. For some time, you wanted to be just like him. Now you were more of doing your own thing, but not too far away from his legacy.

You checked your watch: your obligations with Intelligence were done for the day, lecture was over, maybe you could hit the base gym for an hour or two. You grabbed your gym bag from your car, changed into your gym uniform, turned on your headphones and hitted the treadmill to take your mind away from the last few days.

Against the odds, San Diego was slowly turning into a home to you. You missed sharing a place with Lisa, but having your own was great. Even though you were following the same 8 to 5 schedule on weekdays, San Diego had a lot much to offer on weekends. Or even after work, when you would park your car in Coronado Beach and appreciate a few minutes by the water.

But once your alarm clock hitted 6 am on Monday, you were on the clock and already thinking about work.

So before you went to bed, you were always looking for ways to sweat it out of you. Most of the time, you were using your building’s gym, but it was about time to use all the resources of the base.

The first 5 miles flew by with your playlist of choice and an almost empty gym. You got a minute to talk to your mom — asking again about if any Navy guys got your attention — and then text your dad about Maverick. As per usual, he told you to be careful, because Maverick wasn’t the one with the best record, but had a few higher ups connections here and there. And in a blink of an eye, you were done with cardio and ready to move to some strength training.

As you were moving to the weights, the gym got crowded as the rush hour traffic in the city. You tried to get to the less packed corner of the place, but unfortunately it was almost impossible. Luckily, the Dagger Squad — Rooster, Hangman, Coyote, Fanboy, and Phoenix — went their ways, leaving you alone.

You were rotating equipment with two other people for the most of the time, and by the end of your last set, you were alone on the bench press. You took a big sip of your water bottle and lay down to start your exercise.

One, two, three reps. One of your favorite songs was blasting through your headphones. It was just a matter of getting this done, changing clothes and going home. Nothing could ruin a good gym session — nor anyone. 

Seven, eight, nine. Maybe you were too optimistic with your weights this afternoon, because you were starting to struggle with it. You held the bar too close to your chest, and you had to recover every inch of your strength to not hurt yourself. 

You were almost there when a pair of hands did the hard part for you, leaving the bar on the holder. 

“Looked like you needed a spotter,” Bradshaw said once your eyes met his. 

“I can do it myself, Lieutenant. Thank you very much,” you spilled, holding the bar stronger.

“Whatever sails your boat, Officer.”

You watched him walk back to his friends, trying to understand where his intentions lay. Nat gave you a nod, you smiled back. You read Hangman’s lips when he said “Nice ass, Hyde.” and almost flipped the bird on him. The other guys didn’t even baited an eye on you. But then when Rooster looked over back to you, you decided it was time to go home.

+++

You were finally able to have people over. Bob stopped by after a week of intense training and working. Back when you joined the Navy, you had this tradition of getting together over some pizza and beers to talk shit about your instructors and captains, just for the fun of it. Now that you were in San Diego, not in Pensacola, you also had Nat on your couch, sharing a few good stories about your years in the Navy.

“So I walk out of the jet, I look dead in the eyes of the Admiral and I say: ‘If you put me to work with a manchild again, I’m opening friendly fire on them.’ And he looked at me like I was the most insane person on that carrier,” Nat moved her hands, making an effort to punctuate her words. “Sometimes those idiots piss me off so much.”

“Do you think Maverick is leading this mission?” You asked them.

“No, definitely no.” Bob hijacked the popcorn bucket. “Which will be a nightmare. Rooster and Hangman are back at each other's throats for the leading position, and both have potential to lead us to early graves.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, those two have been rivals for more than a decade now. Everyone thought it would get better after the stunt they pulled at the end of the uranium mission, but it only got worse,” he explained.

“Feeling like my transfer was more of a trap than a way to promotion,” you whispered under your breath.

“We all gonna survive this,” Nat was the more realistic of the trio.

“Or maybe not.” You passed her another beer.

“C’mon Hyde, you’re killing the fun,” Bob gave your feet a light kick. “You can put some sense into those admirals and captains' minds for us.”

“I can try, not guaranteed,” you reinforced.

“Which role do you think you’ll be taking on the next mission?” Nat asked.

“Best case scenario, I’ll be Chief of Intelligence for the mission, probably briefing the superiors before, so they can run some decisions, I’ll take those and pass them down to you, maybe calling a few shots if necessary. Worst case scenario, I’ll be doing what I always do: sit there, watch radars and data, write them down and pass them to my supervisor.”

“I don’t get it why you’re still based in the US when they could use you anywhere,” Bob was wondering the same thing that has been going through your mind for the last three years.

Besides a few deployments on some carriers here and there, you were pretty much just wandering around bases in the American soil. Which was lowkey annoying and awfully looking for your records.

“Me neither. My parents tried to find out why I’m still like here,” you pointed to the apartment, “and not overseas since I have a degree, a Masters, I speak like four languages. Why am I still assessing trainings all the time?”

“Have you ever stepped on someone’s toes?” When you and Bob stared at Nat, she threw her hands back. “What? It happens sometimes.”

“I always circle back to believing, I don’t know, after my accident, everyone expects me to quietly quit the Navy and go back to get a PhD,” you confessed.

“Is that what you want?”

“Definitely no.”

“So it’s settled. You get your promotion, we get out of the next mission alive, everyone is happy.”

Happiness was a very broad concept. Every day, you just wanted to get things done, hoping this would get you closer to your goals. Right now, happiness was getting back to your place, having a nice time with your new friends, and letting the work stay inside base. Outside it, you were a free woman.

a/n: happy 2025 guys! sorry for taking a little longer to update the series: i was moving, but now i'm settled and ready for this new year! as per usual, don't forget to like, comment and reblog, all support is valid! see ya soon (and if you missed, i published this cute drabble with rooster last month). love ya!

where: penelope’s apartment who: @penelxpebradley​ & veronica ferro

She’d been kicking herself for days -- sobbing, even -- at how stupid she’d been in her text message exchange with Penelope. The nasty things she’d called her friend in a time of stress was incredibly unlike her, tactics she would have resorted to back on the cheerleading team in high school. Growing up, it’d been difficult to break out of the old-fashioned ideals that came out of the deep south, trying for years after she’d escaped to New York City for college so shed the naivity and ignorance that she’d grown up around -- and yet there she stood, after years of so called ‘reformation’ and trying to be a good person. The same scared, little girl who’s only goal in life was becoming exactly what had been expected from her.

The blonde had sat in her porsche for about fifteen minutes before finally walking up to the redhead’s door, incredibly scared and petrified of the confrontation that was inevitably about to occur, but she couldn’t waste another moment feeling this guilt, knowing she’d hurt someone close to her (even if she didn’t want to admit it). After knocking three times, the doctor stood nervously on the patio, heartbeat quickening when the door opened. “Hi! Um,” Veronica bit her lower lip, attempting to keep her eyes from welling up at the mere sight of Penelope -- but her hoarse voice all but gave her away. “I bought you wine -- Chateau Pontet-Canet,” she held up the three-hundred bottle of alcohol, almost as a peace offering. “Can we, like, talk or something?”
