Taken by Surprise

Several years have passed. Soarin has achieved fame and success as a Captain of the Wonderbolts. It’s a rank he’s held for a long time. Maybe too long. As the realities of the future ahead of him weigh on his mind, he discovers that he isn’t the only Wonderbolt thinking about what comes next.

Well this ending is both satisfying and absolutely not at the same time.
I feel the need for a sequel at the bar... Or a reveal of Surprise's name at least.

I don't want Soarin and Surprise to rejoin the Wonderbolts but that lack of closure is killing me here.

Good fic, I'm going to have to mull over throwing it on the e-reader but definitely a favourite here.
