After god knows how long of pining, Bradley and Jake finally got married and decided to have kids :3

Lil things about Caroline and Nicholas Bradshaw-Seresin (yez, Bradley is so the guy who is gonna take the name of the love of his life)

I think judgin by the fact Bradley literally like a clone to his father, the Bradshaw genes is running quite strong... (Jake loves it so much later on in life for he can see so much of his husband in his children)

Caroline takes after the Bradshaws a lot, with the curly brown hair and whiskey eyes, high crooky nose, but she has Jake's sharky grin, which comforts her dad's ego a little bit...

Nicholas, on the other hand, is just like a mini Jake (Jake's mom approved), except that as he gets older, his hair slowly turns dirty blonde and went completely to dark brown.

Bite me but Jake is gonna be the master of hairstyles, growing up with a bunch of sisters and stuff. Rapunzel braids, crown braids, french rolls, etc, he can do it all. Jake determines to let little Carol be the prettiest girl in the whole world.

Also, both of them don't know where he learn that from, but Nick Jr has the habit of scowling and frown since infant, like a little....Tom Iceman Kazansky :D

Penny: Are you guys okay? Tell me you’re okay! Maverick: We’re fine. Rooster: We’re okay. Penny: Oh, good. Penny: THEN WHAT WERE YOU TWO KNUCKLEHEADS THINKING?!

A/N: This is probably one of the Jas and Jake fics I'm most proud of. There is so much Jas backstory. Thank you, as always, to @joaquinwhorres for letting me namedrop your OCs, Caro and Dalia, and for helping me figure out why the original ending was off. Title is from I'm With You by Vance Joy. Enjoy, friends!

Likes are nice, but comments and reblogs are golden.

Meet me at the Hard Deck. Please.

Jake knew it was serious because Jas never said please. Even when she was under him and on the edge of coming undone, she wouldn’t say please. She wouldn’t beg for it. That one word sent Jake out the door of his barrack room and off to the bar.

It was mid-morning on a Saturday, and Penny had opened early. He pushed the front door with the chipped paint open and walked inside, scanning the room. He didn’t spot Jas anywhere, only Penny and a few patrons nursing coffee rather than beer.

He stalked towards the bar, locking eyes with Penny, confusion on his face. Jas had texted him to meet her there, but now she was gone?

“She’s down by the water,” Penny told him when he was close enough to hear her. He mumbled a quick thank you and headed for the door leading out to the deck. 

There, in the distance, Jas sat on the sand facing the ocean. It was cloudier than usual, but the sun still bounced off her hair, making it look shinier. He rested his hands on the deck railing for a minute, gathering up the courage to make the short trek to her.

Jake squared his shoulders, walked down the steps, and trudged through the sand. He stopped a few feet behind her and took a deep breath. 

Please.

The word still lingered in his mind. Jas rarely texted him. In fact, she had spent weeks refusing to give him her number, but finally relented a few days before the mission. She’d made him promise to let her know he was alive.

“I’d say quit staring at my ass, but you can’t see it, so just quit staring.”

“You have a great ass,” he said, closing the last bit of distance between them. When he sat, he could see the grin Jas was biting back.

“So you’ve told me,” she agreed.

“I’d never lie to you, Doc.”

At that, her jaw clenched. She didn’t like it when he called her Doc. At least, that’s what she’d told him frequently, though it was usually right before they slept together.

“I know.”

For a while, they just sat there staring at the sea. They listened to the waves meeting the shore and seagulls screeching above them. Jake looked at Jas. Her auburn hair looked red in this light, and her blue eyes matched that of the endless sea while he was on the carrier. She had freckles on her nose that’d become more noticeable since he’d met her. Her lips were pink and plush. Kissable.

“I’m glad you’re alive,” she said, filling the silence. 

He’d texted her as soon as they got back on dry land, hoping for a response, but none came. He’d gone to the Hard Deck that night to celebrate their success with the dagger squad, but Jas didn’t show. When he asked Caro if she knew where Jas was, she’d informed him she wasn’t coming. 

Jas had gone radio silent, and Caro, Bob, and Fanboy kept their mouths shut on the matter. He’d even tried to intimidate Bob into telling him why she wasn’t there, but the bespectacled aviator had stood his ground, and Jake respected that even if he hated him a little for it. 

“Could’ve fooled me,” he said, mostly joking.

Jas turned her head to him. “Do you know why I’m stationed here?”

He shook his head, brows furrowed. Jas looked back at the ocean.

Jake watched her shift uncomfortably in the sand, folding and unfolding her hands where they rested on her shins. He had never seen Jas like this before.

“It was a demotion.” Before Jake could ask what she meant, she continued. “I used to serve on the USS Nimitz. After an attack on our aviators, one of them came back with a severely injured leg. My commanding officer decided we should amputate. I insisted I could save it, but he told me it was futile and gave me a direct order to amputate.”

“But you didn’t?”

Jas shook her head, a watery chuckle escaping her throat. It made Jake move closer, and when she didn’t flinch away, he bumped his shoulder with hers, silently encouraging her to go on.

“I told the nurses, the anesthesiologist, and everyone else that we had to go ahead to save his leg.”

Jake wanted to wrap his arms around Jas and comfort her as the tears ran down her cheeks. There was something deeply vulnerable about this moment. It was like being thrown into the deep end of Jas’ conscience and left to his own devices.

Sink or swim, Seresin.

Jas took a deep breath and continued her story. “It took three hours, but I saved his leg with no nerve damage, sudden bleeds, or anything like that. He didn’t lose his leg, and he didn’t have to be discharged on medical grounds. He needed a lot of physical therapy, but he’d be able to fly again.”

“There are consequences of disobeying a direct order,” Jake said. He didn’t know what else to say. 

Jas gave off a humorless laugh and wiped at the tears still running down her face in steady streams. “My file has a long list of citations for insubordination, but this was the final nail in the coffin. I should be grateful they didn’t kick me out.”

“You don’t like being told what to do,” Jake observed.

At that, Jas chuckled again and finally turned her red-rimmed blue eyes to him. “No,” she agreed. “The Surgeon General, Admiral Warren, personally reviewed my file and sent me here as punishment. I’m working the most boring, deadbeat office in the entire Navy by prescribing more Advil and cough medicine to grown men than I can count. I don’t know how long I’ll be here.”

Jake hummed while Jas leaned her chin on her knees, studying the waves again. The clouds were slowly disappearing, making space for a bright day in California, a sharp contrast to Jas’ gloomy mood.

“Why are you telling me all this?”

Jas let a deep breath go. The silence between them stretched for longer than he was comfortable with, but he knew that pushing the woman next to him wouldn’t do either of them any good. So he stayed silent.

“I lost something I cared about when I was demoted,” she told him and spun in the sand so she was facing him. Jake mirrored her action, folding his legs down in front of him.

“When all of you left for that mission, I held Caro all night as she cried. She was terrified of losing Mickey, of giving her daughter a taste of him only to have him possibly ripped away.”

Jake nodded. He remembered Fanboy pacing up and down the corridor outside their bunks after Maverick chose him and Payback to fly. In a poor attempt at reconciliation, Jake had tried to assure him he would be fine, only to get his feelings for Jas thrown back in his face. He’d never seen Fanboy that upset, not even when he had punched Jake for talking shit.

Jas looked down at the sand where her toes had slipped under his crossed legs. He could feel her wiggle them through the material of his jeans. “When you left for that mission,” she whispered and looked to meet his gaze. “I thought I was going to lose something I cared about.”

Jake’s breath hitched at the admission. He knew where he stood and had known it for a while, but was afraid to push Jas into something she wasn’t ready for. Something she may not even want.

But right now, sitting in front of him, she admitted that she cared about him. He fought every impulse in his body to surge forward and kiss her senseless. He looked at Jas, really looked at her, and saw the fragility that had crept into her demeanor. He kept quiet, but offered a small smile of encouragement.

“I didn’t know I cared. I didn’t know why I couldn’t breathe when you were gone, why I clung to my phone, waiting for a sign that you were alive and coming back. I didn’t know why I cried almost uncontrollably after Caro fell asleep, why I took Dalia for ice cream seven times, or why Martha was on my back about keeping up with charts.”

Jas took a shaky breath and let the tears flow freely down her cheeks. “Then you texted you were alive and coming back, and it hit me. I’d been so distracted because I cared about losing you. This,” she said and gestured between them, “is more than just sex.”

Jake hesitated. He was happy that Jas felt the same way, but there was a nagging question he couldn’t let go. “You didn’t show at our welcome home thing.”

Jas hung her head again, wiping tears off her cheeks. “If it helps, Caro yelled at me for that. Said you seemed disappointed, and that she sent Dalia to cheer you up.”

At that, Jake smiled. “She’s a good kid.”

He expected Jas to look back up at him, but she didn’t. She wiped more tears off her face, and Jake’s chest tightened at the sight. The sinking disappointment he’d felt when Caro told him she wasn’t coming and the fiery frustration he felt being given the silent treatment evaporated as he watched her cry for him.

He reached out a hand, placing it under her chin, and applied light pressure to get her to look up. Her blue eyes met his, and he lost his breath again. Jas was the first girl in a long time who had challenged him, who had made the chase almost cruel and the possibility of her being his the sweetest reward.

He dropped his hand, not wanting to force his touch on Jas, who was in such a fragile state he was afraid to break her.

“So why ignore me?”

She kept her eyes trained on him this time, as if forcing herself to face the hurt she’d caused. “Because this,” she said, gesturing between them again, “scares the shit out of me.”

Jake softened, the tension leaving his shoulders for the first time. He reached his hand out again, pausing mid-air to see if Jas would flinch, but when she didn’t, he cupped her cheeks. He ran a thumb across the skin, catching a stray tear as it fell.

“It’s not just sex to me either,” he admitted, and it didn’t make his lungs constrict. “I’m scared, too.”

He was. He was scared shitless to want Jas as desperately as he did. Jake had always been a one and done guy. Since high school, his mom had given him disapproving looks when he showed a girl to the door in the morning, never to be seen in the house again. Jake had dated casually most of his life, but everything about Jas made his stomach flip, and when she didn’t talk to him, he felt hollow.

“I don’t know how to be in a relationship,” Jas whispered, reaching up and grabbing Jake’s wrist. She pulled the hand off her cheek and kissed his palm, making Jake’s pulse race. “But I want to try. With you.”

When her gaze returned to his, he grinned like a child on Christmas morning. “We’ll figure it out together,” he whispered back and hoped it sounded like a promise.

He leaned forward and finally captured Jas’ lips in a kiss, pouring everything he still had left to say into it. They still had so much to talk about, so much to figure out, but he meant it when it said they’d do it together.

Jake tried to pull away, but Jas chased his lips and he smiled into it. One of his hands slid around her neck and into her hair, and he scraped his blunt nails over her scalp, coaxing a moan from her lips.

He pulled away and couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped.

“You gonna take me home, Seresin?”

He welcomed the grin that spread across his face, and he rose to his feet, holding his hand out for Jas to take.

“Every damn day, Doc,” he replied as she landed on her feet in front of him. She snuck her arms around his neck and leaned in for another soft kiss, not caring that a group of kids were passing by them as their lips met.

They broke apart and made their way up the beach towards the parking lot. Jake’s arm was slung over Jas’ shoulder, and she leaned into him. It was like she was made for him.

A ping sounded, and Jas pulled her phone from the pocket of her hoodie, groaning at the text that had rolled in.

“What?” Jake asked, leading her towards his car.

“Caro asked if I wanted to have drinks tonight.”

Jake frowned. “And that’s bad?”

Jas opened the passenger side door, resting an arm on the roof and looked at Jake. “No, but she’s gonna be really smug about us being a thing now.”

“A thing, you say?”

Jas groaned. “You’re infuriating.”

“You’re one to talk.”

Jake chuckled and got into the car. Once they were on the road, he grabbed Jas’ hand and kissed her knuckles.

Pretty chaotic blondies and their tired boyfriends

That’s what I will call Buck and Jake shenanigans

the poor boyfriends love them very much but the blondies really make them contemplate on their decision of dating them with all the shit that had happened 😂😂

(We also have supportive and very amused dagger and 118 family, who adore their idiotic lover birds and ready to deal with anyone that hurt them)

(Mana bear Athena and papa bear Bobby will welcome the daggers with their open arms that the monthly bbq and 118 fire house)

(Ice some time suspected that the blondies may or may not his blood due to their physical appearance and their attic, Jake have his ambitious side and Buck have his softer side. Mav teasing does not help this case either)

Thank you @redfurrycat for the name sake of this hc 😂

[purplearrowzandleather-blog]

Bradley receives a call from Ice. For ten years, he did his best to forget the man who ripped his future from his grasp. He never imagined any scenario in which Maverick might forget him.

quinn fluff? like making quinn all smitten and cute in front of the fam and jack and luke making fun of him 😭

I love Quinn! hes my fav brother ngl

You were at the Hughes Home for the summer spending time with your boyfriend and his brothers. You all were sitting around the living room trying to come up with what movie to watch for the night

“Guys lets just watch TopGun maverick” you tried to suggest 

“Hell no” Jack protested waving his finger at you “Trevor has made me watch that one to many times”

“this “ Quinn said gesturing to the group  as he stood up from the couch beside you “Better be decided by the time I get back from the kitchen” 

‘Since your going to the kitchen can you grab me a pepsi mom just bought a case” Luke said 

“No” Was all quinn said as he walked away 

“Can you grab me a pepsi” you smiled batting your eyelashes in playful way

Quinn turned around and nodded before me left the room 

“Hey that's not fair, you can bat your eye-lashes and he gets you whatever you want” Luke groned 

“Livin the dream boys” you laugh sinking deeper into the coach 

By the time Quinn came back with a 2 pepsis in hand still no one had agreed on the movie

“Here ya go babe” Quinn opened the can and handed it to you as he sat down beside you and put  his arm behind your shoulders 

“Awww he even opened it for her see luke” jack teased 

“Isn't he just the sweetest boyfriend ever” Luke said in a feminine voice

“I love you babe” Jack said to luke

“No i love you more” luke played back 

They both make kissy faces at each other pretending to be you and Quinn

“Ok ok we get it” you laughed 

The 2 boys smiled satisfied they got a Reaction 

“I wonder what id get if I Batted my eye-lashes at him” Jack Teased 

“You'd get your ass kicked” Quinn commented back 

You laughed at the brothers as you put one of your legs over Quinns and snuggled closer.Quinn pulled you in and rested his hand on your thigh. 

“Aww look at him” Jack whispered to luke “Hes so fucking whipped its not even funny” Luke commented 

“Ok that's it” Quinn said grabbing the tv remote

“Me and jack solo you” Luke Stated 

“Im gonna do something even worse” Quinn smiled pressing play on the Tv

“I SAID I DON'T WANNA WATCH TOP GUN MAVERICK”

[firstkanaphans]

Fam how do we feel about The Heart Killers?

Oh, I am thrilled. Especially looking at what our options were. The Heart Killers was my second favorite plot of the night after The Ex Morning and FirstKhaotung only have to share the screen with one other couple (who I also adore) rather than, like, twenty—or whatever’s going on over there with The Perfect 10 Liners.

Personally, the assassin plot is probably going to give me anxiety just like all of the drama in Only Friends did, but since this is a romcom, I at least know I’m guaranteed a happy ending.

Some of my favorite parts from the trailer:

Bison and Fadel canonically killing “businessmen and politicians”

First back in his Yok era with the tank tops and the flirting

JoongDunk finally getting a decent script

P’Jojo not bothering to pretend like Dunk is smaller than Joong when that man is a beef cake

FK pointing guns at each other and then kissing!!! What in the Kinnporsche?!

So, yeah, you could say I’m excited. I have pretty famously gone on record stating that JD are the best kissers at GMMTV and I believe FK have the best chemistry, so we’re in for a good time. Plus, FK act like a married couple off screen and JD act like college roommates who fuck sometimes, so the fan service will be fan servicing and I, for one, am grateful.

Plus, this gives me an excuse to rewatch 10 Things I Hate About You. And possibly turn it into a fanfic before we get the actual show. Because that’s how I roll.
