Summary
“It’s not too late for you, you know.” Ron had said as they sat on his back porch, watching the sun set over the horizon, almost a year after he handed in his request for retirement.
At Tom’s quizzical look, Slider just laughed and knocked him with his shoulder.
“You’re sixty, not dead,” he said, with a shrug. Then more seriously: “If you wanted to try it again with someone else, you’ve still got time.”
Or, ‘The compass was invented before the clock, because direction was more important than how long it took to get there.’

Summary
“Ice? You okay?”
Tom jumped at the voice, spinning around to see Maverick, of all possible people, hovering in the doorway, looking at him wide-eyed. He was in his boxers and a t-shirt, barefooted, hair sticking out in all directions.
Tom spun back around just as quickly, nearly giving himself whiplash, and scrambled for the paraphernalia he had laid out in front of him, shoving it back into its bag.
“It’s not what it looks like,” he said hurriedly, as he heard Maverick’s footsteps approaching.
“I think it’s exactly what it looks like,” Mav retorted, bending down to carefully pick up one of the larger needles where it had fallen to the floor.

Summary
Title from the Mary Oliver poem "Wild Geese".
In hindsight, it should have been obvious- the bizarre name, the early morning runs around the base, the effortless evasions whenever the matter of his employment came up- but that does little to ease the shock and the following anger when Tom does, eventually, find out.
AU where Tom "Iceman" Kazansky never goes to the Academy and ends up running into Pete "Maverick" Mitchell under completely different circumstances.
