Summary
" Navy fighter pilot earns first confirmed air-to-air kill since the new millennium! You’d think they had a damn newsletter. But trust the US Navy’s gossip circle to spread the word faster than any federal news network might have.
The thing that nobody ever told Jake about fighting in a war was the guilt that haunts you when the fight ends. When the bloodshed and the explosions and the whirring of an engine all come to an end, leaving little more than quiet in its wake, the way your brain latches onto an idea and doesn’t let go of it.
He didn’t even remember taking the shot, is the funny part. All he could remember was the sound of Blue’s panicked screeches over the radio line as her plane went up in flames. "
------------
aka, Jake didn't take being the first aviator of his generation with an air-to-air kill quite as easily as he pretended to.

Summary
" And then Goose died and Mav slowly began to learn how to content himself on no longer having someone whose arms he felt at ease in. He didn’t cuddle after sex, he didn’t tuck into anyone’s side like he used to with Goose, and he flinched away from forehead pecks and high fives. The most he ever allowed himself was life-affirming hugs after dangerous missions like the Layton rescue.
And the worst part was that he still yearned for the feeling, he just didn’t feel at ease with anybody in order to be comfortable being that vulnerable. To him, allowing someone’s hands to get that close was a risk he couldn’t take. Not when he still carried new bruises every day from people who couldn’t stand the fact that his last name was Mitchell.
At least, he didn’t until Slider came along. "

aka, Mav is touch-starved and Slider gives good hugs.
