HSM Taylor/Troy Challenge
Taylor had always had a secret passion. Flying she has always wanted to be a pilot, so a few days after graduation Taylor had left for the United States Air Force. There she spent four years learning to be a military soldier and got her bachelors in military theory and masters in physics graduating at the top of her class. After the academy went to flight school for a year, became a pilot and serve on Iraq where she logged over 100 hours in enemy air space. After the air strike seized she was order to the field where she would provide cover fire.
Challenge
Lieutenant Colonel Doctor Taylor McKessie has been to hell and back. She’s a hardened military officer and a doctor of physics and engineering as well as an excellent Air Force pilot. After almost eleven years of being in the field and a recently traumatic experience she has decide to transfer home to Kirtland Air Force Base Albuquerque, New Mexico. There she will be part of the 58th Special Operations Wing and 150th Fighter Wing training future pilots. Now in New Mexico she has to reconnect with all her friends and family who are full of questions and very happy to see her but stun to see that the Taylor McKessie they knew seems to have disappear under a dark and hardened military soldier.
This is a Taylor/Troy fic, thought it is more Taylor centric. I know I wrote this challenge with a back story to continue on a future story which is the challenge, but you can start the challenge right after she left for the Air Force or when she moves back to Albuquerque. Either way is your choice.
Rules:
Troy and Taylor have to begin a relationship some time after she comes back home. He is retired from the NBA and is assistant coach at Albuquerque University. (It’s your choice weather they had a relationship before college or not). The fic has to end with Taylor and Troy together.
They have to have various problems throughout their relationship (like Taylor inability to show her emotions believing to be a weakness (thought I don’t think she should voice that out loud but Troy knowing she’s a soldier would assume that’s one of the primary reasons), her inability to let someone get too close to her, her painful past and constant nightmares that she refuses to talk about as the classified work she had been doing for the past several years and Troy insistence that she retired from the military because he’s afraid she could be order back to the field at any moment, she loves the Air Force and doesn’t want to retired. Taylor tells him that even if she retires she still could be recall back to active duty and Taylor's worried that due to all the trauma her body has been throught over the years she won't be able to get pregnant. By the way in this fic Taylor is about 33½, 34. Troy is between 34 and 35. ( If you want to make them younger that’s fine.) and if you want to add your own set of problems or subtract from my suggestions that's fine.
Timeline:
