Fics like And How To Come Home

Walking at night around the Mojave was one of the closest things Maverick had to a supernatural experience with his feet on the ground. There was the ever-present edge of potential danger presented by his solitude in raw nature in the dark of night. And it was just enough of an edge to make the quiet more rejuvenating and the stars all that more brilliant above him. When sleep alluded him or betrayed him into memories or equally-as-horrific possibilities, Mav padded around the sand and let his loneliness and his smallness be comforted by a universe that was bigger even than the shrapnel still lodged in his heart. Having a bunch of young aviators surrounding his bed in sickbay, squabbling over petty nothings, watching Mav fall asleep as the meds took him, was... It was embarrassing. It was heart-warming. It was... It wasn’t walking outside in the Mojave, but Mav thought maybe it was time to trade in the lonely desert nights for something better. Bradley and Maverick have that talk. After another series of events, including ballroom dancing lessons and a group movie night in the Mojave and a revelation or several.
