Fics like Highway (out) the Danger Zone

"Shit," Maverick curses, righting them with no small amount of struggle, fighting the failing jet. "Rooster, listen to me. We're going to land," he says, turning sharply back toward the shore. He scans the landscape outside of the cockpit, looking for somewhere, anywhere, clear enough for them to set down. "What?!" Rooster shouts. "No other choice," Maverick says, spotting a clearing in the trees. It's not ideal, but it'll have to do. He's getting more and more warning lights flashing at him, and they're running on borrowed time. "It's going to be rough," he warns. Even if they had a runway that was paved and not snow-covered dirt, they're missing a landing gear. This is going to hurt. -- Or, Maverick and Rooster don't make it back to the carrier in that F-14. Cue a Goofy Movie-esque road trip, only the estranged father-son pair have to figure out how to make it home from enemy soil without aid, backup, or documentation. Oh, and everyone back home thinks they're dead.
