Top Gun/Modern au! The Outsiders
Steve’s middle name is Maverick making his full name Steve Maverick Randle
What I’m thinking is he probably got bored one day and joined the Navy, went through basic Navy boot camp at 17, and served for a year but had to stop for a medical reason like diabetes or something. So he just has dog tags at 18 and depending if people pay close attention or not they’ll just ask about them. The boys definitely mess with him in the morning or any time he’s sleeping and will just yell and bang on stuff like a commander would.
Like I kid you not he just got up one day, bored out of his mind, and was just like, “Imma join the Navy” and left.
It’s like 12 AM and I keep trying to go to bed then waking up and searching things up about the Navy just to write this
Baby John: Oh no, there’s a cockroach
Tony: Someone take off their shoe and kill it
Mouthpiece: *takes off his shoe and kills it with his bare hands*
Ice: OH MY FUCKING GOD
Riff: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?
Mouthpiece: ?????
Each Newsie has a mug that only they use. They have a cabinet in their kitchen specifically to store everyone’s mugs. Each cup is special/specific to each person, some made the one they use and others were given or bought theirs. Each mug is labeled at the bottom with the Newsies nickname and all the ones that aren’t labeled are for anyone to use.
(i thought of this while making hot chocolate and i grabbed my favorite mug and was like, huh hc time)
So I know in the movie Tom Curise’s character’s call sign is Maverick and his real name is Pete, but Maverick in my opinion doesn’t fit Steve so I made it his middle name instead because I can. Call signs in the Navy and other branches come from inside jokes or characteristics of someone that the whole team agrees on. So, I’m making his call sign Wildcard mostly because all the ones I could think of didn’t sound good the more I said them out loud, plus I feel like it fits both Steve and Mav’s characters.
Doing more research while also rewatching Top Gun, the youngest you can be to start flight school to be a Navy pilot is 19 and you go through flight school for a minimum of 6 years. Now in Top Gun, Mav is 24 meaning he would have only gone for around four years unless he started flight school at a younger age. We also can assume he got into school because of his dad, so for the AU I’m making both Steve’s dad and uncle Navy pilots, his father MIA like in the movie and his uncle retired. He started flying at a young age going through flight school while also being a greaser. He never really felt a connection to flying until around the events of the rumble. He mostly worked on cars because it took his mind off of what happened to his dad until on day at the ripe age of 17 in a half, he decided to actually go to boot camp and become and actual Navy pilot in honor of his dad. Then the AU continues like the movie except for the whole him and Charlie thing, and instead him play flirting with her because he can.
I’m also scraping the idea of him leaving due to diabetes and instead making the reason he left being Goose’s death because he couldn’t stand the idea of another close friend of his dying. Then we go into him living a normal life back with the Curtis’s and Two-bit, then to the events of Top Gun Maverick.

They all share clothes. Like dating or not they all share clothes. You’ll find like Boots wearing Snoddy’s hoodie because it’s baggy on him, or Romeo sleeping in Blink’s shirt because it’s comfortable. Unless they’ve specifically requested no one else wears it, it will be shared. Even more likely for people who share a bunk like Kid Blink and Racetrack or Jake and Snipeshooter to share clothes.

I watched Carrying the Banner with my sister over and over again to figure out where everyone in newsies sleeps and all that fun stuff. Based on what I saw this is a rough sketch of where everyone would be. (the empty space is the bathrooms)
