Kayla is getting the hang of this parenting thing.

[rai-knightshade-art]

Is it that Look in your eyes? Or is it this dancing juice? Who cares Baby, I think I wanna Marry You!

Marry You, Bruno Mars

The fic these outfits are featured in can be found here (link to be added).

This is a bonus Post for Pitch Perfect RarePair Week prompt #2, which can be found here!

Artist thoughts, explanations, etc etc below the cut; image ID in the alt text!

(In case anyone was wondering if the girls ever found a good wedding suit for Beca, fear not! Here's proof that they found one perfectly suited to our favorite alt-girl Bella Captain!)

Tfw you start out with an AU concept for a Pitch Perfect Next Gen story centered around a pair of OC's and the shenanigans they get up to, only to end up writing more or less a prequel to that concept instead telling the love story between one of the OC's parents.

And then that story shapes up to be at least 3x as long as any individual story you've ever written for any fandom. Ever.

Anyways that is a fic that is coming, and here is some of the concept art from one of the final events it'll cover: Jesse and Beca's wedding.

These two pages came up because a) I love designing fashion, especially formal fashion (like for weddings), and b) these outfits will be featured in a full-page illustration/cover art of sorts for the fic, so I wanted to properly design them before i get that far, and c) they'll barely be visible in said illustration, which is a damn shame, because they're good designs! So they get their own feature pages so y'all can properly appreciate the glory that is Beca's absolutely kickass wedding suit (because the girl who has canonly only ever worn 3 skirts total--and one of those was just the og Bella uniform skirt!--is absolutely NOT going to wear a dress to her wedding if she can at all help it, and you may quote me on that!) as well as Jesse's rose brocade waistcoat with corset style lacing in the back (it makes his waist look good y'all). It simply had to be done!

Also featured is a rough drawing of Beca's engagement ring, aka a family heirloom passed down through 4 generations of Swanson men to their intendeds; it's a 20's era Daisy-set ring done in silver, with a single diamond in the center surrounded by tiny rubies and sapphires (which, why yes, that DOES sound like it would perfectly meld the color aesthetics of the Bellas and the Trebles and thematically represent Jesse and Beca's union, however did you know??)

Anyways, yes, these two are going to be the best looking married couple LA has ever seen, celebrity mega weddings eat your hearts out!

Nevermore

Summary: In Scottish folklore a raven is an omen of death. Maybe that's why Raven was the perfect call sign for her, because death followed her, always om her heels. Maybe it was the perfect call sign because she brought death, a grim reaper in her own right. Or maybe it was the perfect call sign for her because much like the ebony bird, she preferred to work alone.

Paring: Rooster x OC Commader Skylar "Raven" Blackwood

Warnings: Language, drinking, Mentions of violence, Allusions to Smut. Minors DNI 18+

Part 1: Quoth the Raven

One month, one measly month is all the Dagger Squad had been given off after the Uranium Plant mission. It was supposed to have been three, but apparently new information had come in, orders had been given and over the next few days the members of the Squad had come from their respective vacation places back to their new home base, Top Gun.

Maverick's foot tapped impatiently against the tile floor as he waited for Cyclone and Warlock to join him in the briefing room. He stood up abruptly as he heard the door open and the two men walked in.

"At ease Commodore." Cyclone stated. Maverick internally grimaced at his new title. The successful mission brought a promotion to him and the Daggers.

"I know you were promised a longer leave, but you and your team are needed for a mission, that well only pilots of their caliber can handle. And Maverick, I'm not going to beat around the bush, there will be civilian casualties. There is a high profile target that we have been after for awhile. We now have the chance to neutralize them but not without collateral damage." Cyclone cuts to the chase.

"With all do respect sir, my team and I, we aren't civilian killers." Maverick dead pans while staring the Admiral down. "Well, Commodore Mitchell, this is war, and in war there are always things we don't want to do, or things we wish we didn't have to do. I expected this response from you which is why I have recalled another pilot to join your team." Cyclone tells him.

"Who?" Maverick questions as he wonders who else could be elite enough. He had the 12 best aviators in the Navy on his squad.

"She is a mystery, a myth, a ghost. Some people in the Navy aren't actually sure if she exist. Covert missions are her specialty. Just operates in the grey area for the US Navy. Follows orders without question. Much like yourself she is an Ace. No one knows she exists unless you need her. Maverick meet Commader Skylar Blackwood. Call Sign, Raven." Cyclone finishes as her picture appears on the screen.

Maverick stares at the image and suddenly he doesn't remember how to breath, because looking back at him is a young woman who is the spitting image of her mother, but with his eyes.

"Blackwood?" He asks turning back to the men at the table. "I believe you knew her mother Charlotte, call sign Charlie. She was a civilian instructor back in the 80s for Top Gun." Warlock replied.

"I did know her, she, she was one of my instructors actually." Maverick tells them. His hands are clenched by his sides. He looks at her information on the screen and then he sees it, her birthday.... 1987... it all but confirmed what he was thinking. Raven, this pilot he had never met, was his daughter.

"She will be joining you and your team tomorrow at 0800 hours. For now, go home, get some rest, we will see you on base tomorrow." Warlock finishes before he and Cyclone leave the room.

Maverick stays frozen in place for a few more minutes racking his brain. How could Charlie have never told him about her? Did this girl know he was her father? Did she hate him?

He took a deep breath.

He was getting ahead of himself. He wasn't certain she was his daughter. It could all be a coincidence. It could be a coincidence that she had the same eyes as him. It could be a coincidence that her birthday was 9 months after he and Charlie had been together. It could be a coincidence that his 1986 class was the last class Charlie ever instructed. It could all be a coincidence right? Right?

Across town a young woman made her way into the currently, relatively quiet Navy bar on the beach that she had once heard her mother speak of. She walked up the the woman at the bar; she was older, probably around the same age her mother would have been if she was still alive.

"What can I get for you darlin'?" The bar tender asked her. "Could I please get a cranberry mule and start a tab if you don't mind ma'am?" Her slight souther accent came out with her manners as she handed over her card and her ID.

"Sure thing honey I can get a tab started for you miss.... Blackwood." The woman says reading her name off the ID.

"Thank you very much." Skylar replies. She hops up on a bar stool as she waits paitently for her drink to be made. Skylar scans the bar and takes in the few patrons that are there. She notes a few men and a woman in service khakis over by the pool table. She wonders if they are part of the team she has been brought in to join, if they have heard of her, if her reputation proceeds her here.

"There you go love." The bar tender says as she sets her drink down infront of her snapping Skylar out of her thoughts. "Thank you Ma'am" she replies back. "Name's Penny if you need anything else." The bar tender smiles at her before going to help some other patrons.

"Oh my god...oh my fucking god!" Skylar hears a familiar voice called from behind her. She whips around in her stool to see a face that she hadn't seen in ages.

"Skylar Blackwood... now there is a face I never thought I would see again!" Rooster calls out stepping towards her.

"Bradley Bradshaw, my word.... is that you?" Skylar drawed out lowering her sunglasses.

"In the flesh honey. Now tell me why on earth are you in Miramar?

Skylar thought for a moment. If Rooster didn't know why she was here, maybe the others didn't... "I'm here to teach at Top Gun" She lied. Well it wasn't a total lie... but she knew what would happen if people found out why she was really here.

"No shit. That's awesome. You know I just got stationed here permanently. Me and some other Top Gun pilots went on this mission about a month ago and well, the powers that be decided instead of sending us back to our home squadrons, they wanted to base us here." He told her with a bright smile.

"Wow Bradley that's amazing. Looks like we will being seeing a lot of each other then." She smiled back at him.

"Hey, some of the squad is here, let me introduce you to them." He told her as he grabbed her hand and pulled her off the bar stool. "Bradley, you don't have to do that. I'm sure I will meet them all later." Skylar protested.

"Why put off what you can do now. And you have got to stop calling me Bradley. Everyone I know calls me Rooster. My call sign.... remember." He jokes with her.

"Ah yes I remember, though I always preferred to call you Roosie." She winked at him. "Skylar, if you call me Rooise infront of the squad I will fight you." He half jokes.

"I think I could take you... Roosie." She quips back. "Speaking of call signs... what's yours? You never had one back in flight school." Rooster asks her.

"Oh... just um Sky... basic I know." She lied again not giving him her real call sign. "Sky? Not bad.... could be worse." Rooster nodded before draping his arm over her shoulders.

"Penny m'dear" He called over to her. "Yeah Rooster?" Penny asked back. "Close miss Blackwood's tab for me would you, anything she drinks tonight is on me." He stated before looking down and winking at her.

"Bradley! You can't do that." She scolds him smacking his chest. "I can and I just did." He argues back. "And what did I say about calling me by my government name?" He chastes her.

"I thought you liked it when I called you Bradley?" Skylar challenged him.

His voice dropped an octave as he whispered in her ear "Sky, the only timed I liked it when you called me Bradley was when you were screaming it."

A hot blush spread over her cheeks as he lead her to the group of pilots. She thought back to the first time when she met Rooster... well Bradley Bradshaw back in flight school.

Her friends from school had invited her out to a party with some other students. She had one too many tequila shots and made a stupid bet that she could get him to go home with her after her friend group had watched him turn down at least three other girls.

Skylar had marched right up to him and said "Hi there, my names Skylar and I have Daddy Isses and a Praise Kink and I think you and your mustache might be just the thing to scratch both of those itches" He had laughed at her but admired her confidence.

Bradley did take Skylar home that night and every night for the rest of flight school. For 6 months they were tangled in the sheets and feelings. They dated and made love behind closed doors.

Bradley was the first and maybe the only person Skylar ever truly loved.

But after flight school the orders came.

She remembered pounding on his door, tears in her eyes telling him she was being sent to the other side of the world while he was staying in the states. It had been the most heartbreaking moment for both of them.

They agreed to end things on good terms, both knowing that long distance wasn't going to work for them. Skylar threw herself into her work, later graduating top of her class at Top Gun, and being recruited for some covert missions.

On those missions she proved herself to be a valuable asset to the Navy, too valuable for people to know who she really was and to be tied down to a base squadron, and that's how the rumors and whispers started.

"I'm telling you guys.... I heard they are bringing in Raven for this mission. The guy is a legend, myth, a killer! The Navy brings him in when they need someone taken out!" Hangman was ranting to the other members of the squad as Bradley and Skylar walked up. Her eyes widened for a moment, catching the end of his speech. The rumor mill already in full effect.

Back at the bar top, Maverick was informing Penny about how he might possibly be a father and that his possible daughter was going to be on his next mission and he wasn't sure what to do. Penny lent a listening ear, and maybe if she had put two and two together, she would have noticed that the cause of Maverick's trouble was just a few feet away.

"Bagman if you could cool it with the doom and gloom for a minute that would be great." Rooster interrupted him.

All eyes turned towards Rooster and the quiet woman tucked next to him.

"Well Bradshaw, you leave for beer and come back with this fine drink of water... what's your name sweets?" Jake asks instantly turning on the charm.

"Hangman, back off, she's an old friend of mine and off limits to all of you." Rooster states shooting them all a firm glare.

"Bradley, I can speak for myself and I'm not off limits for anyone thank you very much." Skylar sassed back earning a laugh from the group.

"Hi everyone. I'm Skylar... call sign Sky... and I'm here to teach at Top Gun. Bradley and I went to flight school together... thats how I unfortunately know him." She kidded with the group.

"Well, welcome to North Island" Bob said with a smile.

Skylar chatted with the group and got to know them. She made mental notes about each member of the squad, things that would come in handy later when training and flying with them.

At the end of the night Rooster insisted on driving her home. When he dropped her off at the door to her rental, she almost drug him in with her, but decided against it. He wished her a good night and told her he would see her on base tomorrow.

That night she rested as well as she could. Then the next morning Skylar got up, went for a run, showered, had a coffee and a quick breakfast.

Then she dawned her gear. She would be lying if she said her heart didn't skip a beat when she zipped up her flight suit and caught sight of the black patch with her call sign emblazed on it in white lettering.

She made her way to base and met with Admiral Simpson and Bates. They led her to the doorway of a hanger which had been made into a classroom. She heard Commodore Mitchell briefing the squad on the mission and their sighs and groans and complaints of some of the details. She could just make out the back of Rooster's head.

"I know the parameters for this aren't ideal, but those are the orders which is why, someone else has been recalled to fly with you" Maverick told the team.

Taking that as her cue, Skylar pushed open the door and began to walk to the front of the room. Her boots echoed against the concrete floor. She kept her chin high as she marched forward.

She expected every head in the room to turn but it didn't.

Maybe they were too afraid to put a face to the name they had whispered about.

She kept her eyes straight and her body calm. When she reached the front of the room, she paused before turning to the group.

12 pairs of eyes lit up with recognition.

The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.

Skylar took a deep breath before speaking.

"Good Morning Avaitors. My name is Comander Skylar Blackwood. But you might know me better by my Call Sign... Raven."
