Birds Away - Hangman x Female Pilot Reader (1/X)
You’d known Jake since you were kids, bonding over the shared experience of being military brats overseas. You were the perfect pair - he was reckless, you followed the rules; he didn’t care what others thought, you were a people-pleaser. You both became the best of the best in your field - he through sheer talent and skill, you from demonstrated grit and determination.
For over two decades, everyone around you - parents, friends, even teachers - had assumed you’d both end up together, despite the fact that somehow, you never did. The Navy always had its way of keeping you two apart. Whatever possibilities there might have been, it was just never in the cards.
Chapter 1 Summary: If anything, it all seemed to click now - it was less that he had a type, and more that all those other girls seemed like knock-off versions of you.

A/N: For those new to my blog or don’t know much about me, I grew up in a very Navy-heavy town (Newport, RI) and my sister, brother, and boyfriend are all in the Navy. I hope you all enjoy, and for anyone who read Sugar and Spice, I hope to try to keep the chapters a little shorter this time!
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the fic and any reblogs/ questions/suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated!
Also, the COVID-19 pandemic does not exist in this world.
