IT’S HEREEEEE I FINISHED CHAPTER ONE
potential fic conceptttt what are our thoughts <3 🫦
✨ icemav moments from the top gun novel to lose a bit of your mind over ✨
shoutout to the incorrect quotes generator I found online that has provided me with some delightful icemav content 🙏🙏
“take me or leave me” from the musical rent is one of the most icemav coded songs ever. I don’t even need to tell you who’s who. you’ll know.
I heard this whole scene in my head! Music, lines, everything in the og audio, and I was watching with no sound!
I think Top Gun (1986) should be made with all Muppets, except for Tom Cruise. I just think it’d be funny if he was the only human and just had hella sexual tension with a fucking puppet.
The winner takes it all..
BAM! TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY! AHA! This one’s a bit more…depressing…. BUT I CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT HOW “The Winner Takes it All” BY ABBA IS SO TOP GUN (1986) CODED! LIKE ACTUALLY! Warning in advance, professional yapper here ->
ESPECIALLY THESE CHUNKS OF LYRICS:
“I don't wanna talk about things we've gone through, though it's hurting me, now it's history.
I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too.
Nothing more to say, no more ace to play.
The winner takes it all, The loser's standing small. Beside the victory, that's her destiny.”
“The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice.
And someone way down here loses someone dear.
The winner takes it all (takes it all)
The loser has to fall (has to fall)
It's simple and it's plain (it's so plain)
Why should I complain? (Why complain?)”
“The judges will decide (will decide)
The likes of me abide (me abide)
Spectators of the show (of the show)
Always staying low (staying low)
The game is on again (on again)
A lover or a friend (or a friend)
A big thing or a small (big or small)
The winner takes it all (takes it all)
I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad.
And I understand, You've come to shake my hand.
I apologize If it makes you feel bad, Seeing me so tense. No self-confidence.
But you see, The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
So the winner takes it all
And the loser has to fall
Throw the dice, cold as ice
Way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall
And it's plain, why complain?”
LIKE HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOO??????? ARE WE JUST GONNA SIT HERE AND NOT NOTICE THESE? I would talk about the whole song, but i’m sparing your ears (eyes???)
Especailly the lines: “The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice(man— sorry had to). And someone way down here lost someone dear”
LIKE? THATS SO MAV AND GOOSE. Maverick being the one who lost someone dear to him and the only family he’s got, and goose bring the one maverick is mourning.
and maybe the lyrics of “The judges will decide, the likes of me abide. spectators of the show always staying low”
This part could be like- maybe the court room (??) where they cleared maverick of doing anything wrong, but maybe the spectators could’ve been ice and slider, who are witnessing the fellow aviators grief first hand.
and then we got the final part that really sets it off is: “I don’t want to talk if it makes you feel sad. And I understand, you’ve come to shake my hand. (MAVERICK CONGRATULATING ICEMAN AND SLIDER ON GETTING FIRST) I apologize if it makes you feel bad seeing me so tense, no self confidence (QUITTING TOPGUN??? MAV GONNA TURN IN HIS WINGS/DOESNT HAVE ENERGY ANYMORE TO BE AN AVIATOR??) But you see, the winner takes it all”
blah blah blah angwy blah blah blah maverick blah blah blah homosexual aviator tendencies. You get the basic idea i hope- But yeah. Listen to ABBA, and let me yap more about my top gun brain rot obsession thing.
Okay yayayay ya i’m done 😋
SMALL ART DUMP CUS I KNOW YALL JUST MISSED ME (nobody did) First off starting with Maverick
Missing Val, i’m genuinely very sad about it and now can’t watch Top Gun normally atm
annndddd some maverick and goose! this one i’m actually kinda really proud of since i usually dont do that kinda stuff
An old but gold Goose and Maverick art piece. (11/19/24) Probably my favorite Top Gun art piece i’ve ever done, and it’s of my silly boysssss.
I hope y’all sorta recognize the scene, but uh, yeah. Little do they know they are about to be sent out to Top Gun 🤭🤭🤭
enjoy, i suppose
OH! and take him too
First post I guess
Listen, we all know Mav does some dumb shit, and lowkey? It’s hillarious seeing different Iceman reactions.
Or maybe, just maybe, Iceman is used to it by the second year of knowing Maverick. But who knows? (I do. I do know.)
GUYS GUYS GUYS what if…. Hear me out. Maverick is a pilot for the U.S. navy and Iceman is a pilot for the Russian navy and they end up getting into a dog fight after iceman is sent into U.S. airspace. They both end up crashing in a third world/lowly populated area and they have to (grudgingly) work together to make it to back to the Naval base Mav flew out of (because Ice is caught on American soil whether he likes it or not) and maybe they catch feelings along the way?!?! I have no writing skills but if some angel wrote a fic about this I would acc love them!

Ice was sitting in the TOP GUN classroom taking notes for the next mission, but the poor guys mind came to your face, your hair, your smile, your natural scent, your perfumes and your eyes. The amount of times Ice sighed caused Slider to nearly rip his hair out, as he knew the only reason he's agitated these days was because the poor guy hadn't seen you in nearly 2 weeks.
"Ice, I swear if you sigh one more time I'm going to loose my shit." Slider whispered, along with a firm hand gesture in the shape of a claw.
"I'm sorry!" Ice whisper yelled back rubbing his hand on his face. "can you blame me though? if you had a beautiful goddess of a woman within a 25 minute drive radius from here you wouldn't be itching to sneak out of here just for a glimpse of her?" His voice quiet yet felt like he was shouting at the top of his lungs.
Slider rolled his eyes and murmured under his breathe "pussy-whipped". This didn't go un-heard by the stress ridden blonde, and the heel of his boot met the side of Sliders shin. "You know that just proves my point right?" a chuckle left sliders mouth and in response he got the bird from the now annoyed piolet.

As the sun set over the TOP GUN base, Iceman went to his small home where all students were stationed and threw his helmet onto his bed. It didn't take long for his eyes to meet the picture of you sitting in a white frame on his bedside table. You were wearing a red dress he had bought you. The dress was ankle length with thick straps, and one had fallen down leaving your shoulder bare. You were looking to the side, the summer sun hitting your face just right and a small smile rested on your face. He groaned out "This is such bullshit!".
He started getting into comfortable clothes when a dangerous, career threatening idea came to his mind. He swapped his pyjama pants to his jeans, and slipped on his sneakers. There was a part of his mind that was screaming ‘just wait! You only have 2 weeks left!’ and another saying the complete opposite. He was desperate to get his arms around the one person who makes each day worth it. He has seen so many TOP GUN students leave during the night to see, or sneak their girls into the base and get away with it. So what was stopping him?
He got his car keys and put his bomber jacket on. Iceman had subconsciously studied the base and knew the quietest route to his car. He walked fast, not wanting to waste a second of time. He saw some instructors walking, he shuffled into a shadowed area of the path and was out of sight. He paused and waited for them to walk a far distance.
He got to the car and did a final look out before getting in and hastily driving off. He had to keep reminding himself to follow the road rules and not speed or run a red light. The street of your house was slowly approaching and his thoughts were running wild. The time of his arrival was 7:45pm, and Tom was on the porch to the front door in a matter of seconds. Getting the spare key he got given, he unlocked the door and went inside.
He placed his keys and wallet on the entry table and walked into the kitchen. He didn’t see you in the main area of your home so he went up the stairs, seeing your bedroom lamp on. Walking in, he saw you enjoying a DIY cheese board and charcuterie board. You had a book in your hand and the record player was softly playing.
“Hey-” he softy spoke, but was interrupted by a startled scream.
“AHH! What the actual fuck?” Your voice sounded pissed off, and at this point he remembered you hated being scared. “Sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you (y/n)!” He sat down on the bed and held your hand. “It’s ok, just don’t do it aga- wait, what are you doing here?!” The book in your hand met the floor as you threw it, and moved the boards onto your bedside table.
You grabbed his face in your hands and searched for injuries. “Are you hurt? We’re you kicked out? Did you QUIT?!” Ice couldn’t help but laugh.
“Sweetie, I’m fine…I snuck out!” He held both of your hands and rubbed your palms with his thumbs. Your eyebrows came together and you let out a ‘huh?!’ You knew how serious he was about his career, so this was not like him.
“Have you been hanging out with Maverick or something? Because that is something he would do not you!” Your thoughts coming out at a rapid rate. Tom rolled his eyes and smiled. “No, I haven’t. I missed you and couldn’t wait 2 more weeks to see you so I snuck out”
Toms hands found your waist and pulled you close. You were rambling on about your confusion and somewhat lecturing him on work ethic and rules. He shut you up with a kiss and you instantly melted into both the kiss and him.
“I missed you too idiot” you roll your eyes. “But seriously, what demon possessed you? You have 2 weeks until graduation and you risk it by doing this?” You just couldn’t wrap your head around both the situation, and the concept of the situation. “Well, when your Girlfriend has been the only thing you can think about…you just have to see her” Tom’s shoulders lift up and down.
“You are something else Kazinsky” your voice soothed the Pilot, and you reached behind you for the food. You placed it between the two of you and resumed your meal together. You guys caught up on what was going on in your separate lives, and what your plans were for the rest of the two weeks.
Fun beach days, working shifts, flight methods and jet safety were just some of the million topics that were brought up. Tom looked at the clock, which read ‘1:31am’, he knew he needed to get back but how could he when your body heat left him in a trance as your French painted nails carded through his blonde, slightly helmet headed hair.
“I’ve gotta go, it’s getting late” his sigh was a deep and dense one, yours was a tired one. “Ok, don’t worry 2 weeks will fly by ok?” You reassured him. He nodded in agreement… until his tired mind snapped awake with a more dangerous but fun idea.
“Come back with me!” He blurted “WHAT?!” you were not expecting your boyfriend to want to pull not 1 but 2 stunts in one night, so you placed your hand to his forehead to see if he was feeling unwell.
“You’re not my boyfriend! You are a clone! How are we going to pull it off? What am I supposed to be doing all day stuck inside your house?” You listed. He chuckled at your cuteness, you were always worried about something and he found joy in being your reassurance. “It will be ok, I’ve bought you some books I was going to give you after the next 2 weeks. There’s a TV in my house and I have a lot of movies you can choose from, and a whole lot more” he tucked a loose piece of hair behind your ear while you processed his words.
“Ok, let’s do it. But if you get in trouble I will kill you” you got up and got a bag organised.
-
You both got to base at 2:20am and you heart rate was higher than the Eiffel Tower. Were you really going to do this? You took a deep breath as you both got out of his car.
Tom took your bag and swung it over his shoulder. He grabbed your hand and guided you along the safest path, and kept to the shadows as much as possible. You saw people walking around and it caused you to hear your heart beat in your ears. Ice squeezed your hand in reassurance as you got closer to his back window, which he always left 2 inches open.
He pushed it up carefully, then helping you get in along with your bag. Once he was sure you were safe and the coast was clear he climbed in. He closed the window and locked it, pulling the curtains shut and making sure there was no cracks.
“Oh my god, we just did that!” You whisper shouted, and hugged Tom close to you. He stroked a hand in your hair and swayed, knowing how to relax you. He made eye contact with his schedule for tomorrow and he didn’t have anything until 10:45am so he wasn’t stressed about sleeplessness.
You looked up and kissed him, he responded with a hungry growl. He had missed you and your body this close to him, so much so that his body temperature rose and he became hot. He could feel your body react the same as his as the kiss turned passionate.
He guided you to the bed and kissed down your jaw and neck. “God I missed you baby”
-
The next day Iceman sat in class, focused and relaxed. His notes were neat, his hair and uniform to match. Ice asked questions, gave recommendations and was very attentive.
Slider looked at him in confusion, because he had countless and endless days of being an annoying little pussy whipped shit. As the class went on, Slider observed his friend. When everyone started having their own conversations he decided to ask him what drug was he on.
“What’s up with you Ice? One day your all sulky and whiny and now your chipper and productive?” He questioned with a squint.
“You know how you said I was “pussy whipped”?” He smirked down at his work, making edits and adding more details.
Meanwhile Sliders brain was short circuiting. There was no way he, the sensible and responsible Iceman had broken the rules!
“No way” he mumbled and Tom’s smile got bigger. “You “I’m mister responsible and would never disrespect the rules” Tom “Iceman” Kazansky snuck out?”
Ice laughed and responded with a smirk.
“And snuck in”
Sliders body turned to his work and mutter in a surprised voice…
“pussy whipped”

Warnings: Mentions of childbirth/pregnancy, Dad jokes
AFAB reader. fluff.
Summary: How I see Tom as a Dad with the help of my current wave of baby fever 😂
Sorry if it’s a bit all over the place!
1000% takes as many days off as he can both during your pregnancy and the first couple of months after you give birth.
Two words “GIRL DAD!!!!”. I’ve seen SO MANY other peoples HCs on multiple platforms saying the same thing and i’m so glad im not the only one that thinks this. I see him being the “as long as they’re healthy” type, but the minute the doctor announces “it’s a girl!” he (respectfully) would burst into tears of joy and bounce around the room and mumble “I knew it”.
As well as helping take care of the little angel, he would have the eye of a hawk when it comes to your recovery. Always makes sure you’re taking the right vitamins, drink plenty of water, have eaten all 3 meals of the day plus snacks/fruits, helps you with postpartum care and gives you cuddles, love and praise.
Has a million different nicknames/terms of endearment to your daughter. some are sweet like, “My Princess” “My World” “Munchkin”. some are funny like, “Miss wriggle-giggle” “Milk-coholic” “sassy-gassy” which you laugh at every time.
I see Ice doing local or base related jobs (like teaching) instead of missions because he wants to be as close as possible to his family.
When it comes to milestones, if he misses even one of them he will be excited but feel both jealous and utter disappointment. When it comes to your daughters first word, he makes it his mission to have her say “dada” first to the point he hides a photo of himself in the flat surface of the mobile above the crib.
If he succeeds, he will brag about it for months until she eventually says “Mamma” and then he will stop. If he looses, he would mope around the house for a while in self pity and say “how dare you” as soon as the “Mmm” sound starts.
I see him being good at: dressing wounds (of course giving it a kiss), morning routine, school lunches (you write the note), homework help, bike training and first swimming lesson.
I see him being not-so-good at: night time routine, school drop off, being serious when his children have done something bad and keeping his wallet closed (his weakness is the puppy eyes and will spoil).
Invites all his Naval friends over to meet the bubba and they all refer to themselves as “Uncle ____” to which the both of you love and melt over. They all are super respectful by making sure they wash their hands and arms before getting the all clear to hold her.
as she hits 3 years old, her personality/mannerisms shows up in full swing and its the perfect combination of the both of you. His cockiness, compassion, and smile are the main ones.
At this point you are pregnant with your second child, and Tom is on the way to becoming Admiral. Both being equally as important and exciting.
Your daughter is already calling herself “Big sister” and wants to let every person she encounters to know and feels prideful when she gets told “you will be the best sister!”.
The two of you take her to her first day of kindergarten and even though your body has double the amount of hormones, Ice cried the most/hardest and once she was out of site and settling in you had to drag him out because he would stand there all day if he could.
Soon you welcome twins. Another girl and a boy, which delighted you both and made your first born very excited.
Ice loved getting to experience the growth of 2 children. he loved seeing all the similarities and differences between them.
Ice made sure to be equal and take care of you the same way he did with your first pregnancy/birth, but would admit he found it harder as it wasn’t just the three of you. Tom hated to admit that he needed assistance some days and both sets of grandparents were more than eager.
When all of them were old enough (ages 8 and 5), Ice took them to work and showed them everything and there was not one bored face out of the three.
When taking them into his office so he could get an hour or two of work in, the oldest daughter asked “why aren’t there any pictures of girl Pilots or Rios Papa?” and he went on to explain why and how that was going to change soon. This ignited a flame in the 8 year old, and she got to work on her call sign, which at that age was “Snowflake”.
Tom may not be taking professional missions anymore, but in the back yard with a DIY cardboard MiG-28 he was on at least 4 a week and for the first time in his career he was a Rio.
All your children love Career’s day at school as they get to bring in Admiral Tom “Iceman” Kazansky! and because of the amount of times he was asked to come in, he was gifted a display in the school and he gave them some of his medals and gear for it.
When Tom became a Dad, he became a Dad. this means he does the “i was watching that” when he looked dead asleep, gets off the couch with a “woah” and his Dad jokes were enough to make his children want to run for the hills. Tom evolved more as the years went by to the arms crossed legs shoulder width apart when speaking to his “daddy’s group” friends.
When the kids are tweens-teens he switches from the “trying not to laugh” dad to “I give you these rules because I care (but still trying not to laugh)” dad. Definitely does the “who, what, when, where, why?” When they start hanging out with friends and partying.
Takes his children on joy rides with his Admiral privileges. He even gave them their own helmets designed and custom to each child.
Would 100% help with them wanting to apply into flight school, would shine his rank in the absolute worst case scenario.
Gives a speech at all the graduation ceremonies, but cries when it’s one of his kids class and the audience and you “aww” at it.
Always makes sure that he takes you on date night throughout the years and spoils you like he always does.
Just a genuine and amazing dad

Blurb: After completing the mission, Iceman returns home to his Girlfriend (Y/N) Mitchell; the sister of Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. All her nerves evaporate as she looks into his blue eyes.
Warnings: none, just pure fluff.
[(Y/n) - Your name] [(y/h/c) - your hair colour] [(y/e/c) - your eye colour]
Tom “Iceman” Kazanksky x Fem!Reader. Will include Pete being Pete. Romantic and sibling interactions. She/her pronouns used. vague mention of a small age gap (6 years). Pet names “Angel” and “Babe” used. Short but sweet
Sitting in the living room, knees tucked under your chin, ‘Great balls of fire’ playing at a medium volume and staring absentmindedly out the window. The waves of the beach sparkled through your window, but it didn’t help your nerves. The blue water reminded you of your Boyfriend’s eyes, which you were scared that you would never get to see again. You knew that being the partner of a Navy Pilot came with its up and downs, but you always felt the same mix of hope and dread when your Boyfriend would go on missions. It also didn’t help that your older brother was also in the same profession. So not knowing if you would possibly loose either one, or both of them made your breathing shake and throat dry.
You got up with a sigh and went into your shared bedroom, getting one of his white dress shirts from the wardrobe and put it on like a cardigan. You brought a sleeve to your nose and inhaled the smell of his cologne, letting your mussels relax at last. “I need to take my mind off this for a while” you spoke your thoughts out loud while grabbing your bag and keys. So with the house locked, you made your way to your motorbike. Hopping on and the engine roaring to life.
You had no destination in mind, letting the bike lead the way. Your hair blowing in the wind, the cool breeze stroking your cheeks and the smell of the salty sea in the air brought you peace. Turning left, the bike led you up to a cliff on the nearest mountain. The gravel and soil crinkled and crunched unter the tires, finally getting to the cliff. Parking it in the shade, you walked to the edge. Sitting down with your feet dangling while taking in the view. You felt a tickle on your thigh and looked down in curiosity. Sitting on your thigh, was a green gecko which gazed its small eyes on you. You smiled, being fond of all animals leading you to stroke it’s back. The small reptile seemed content by the action, so it cutely rested its head and drifted off to sleep. Your smile grew, knowing that the little guy trusted you enough to sleep on you made you feel warm inside.
Letting time drift by as you took in the view while caring for the reptile, you realise that your Boyfriend and your brother could be home any minute. Carefully putting the creature onto the warm rock, you got up and rushed to your bike. You carefully but quickly made your way home, with your heart beating hard in your chest. You and your brother weren’t raised religious, but you were praying to God that they were both safe. As you approach the drive way, you don’t see either of their vehicles which made your nerves and adrenaline increase. You parked in your spot and got inside, as you wanted them to come home to a snack and a beer. You set out 2 large bags of Doritos and a six-pack of bottled beer.
You cleaned the non-existent dust off your hands and mumbled “Perfect” under your breath.
-
Ice and Maverick made their way off the boat, bags in hand. Their bodies in fresh, clean civilian clothes. They chatted to one another while they got to their vehicles. “When are you going to get a car Mav? God, you and (Y/n) are so alike it’s insane” Ice through his bag into his trunk. The brunette chuckled and answered like the smartass he is “when pigs fly!”, coaxing a laugh from the Pilot. Getting into/onto their vehicles, they drove to the Kazansky-Mitchell household. They both felt extremely excited to see you, as they had both expressed how much they missed you and hoped you were ok without them. Being gone for up to 6 months obviously would’ve had its ups and downs, so they didn’t want to waste another minute of letting you be without them.
They pull up into the driveway and park in their respective spots, getting out/off with haste to the front door. Ice got his keys out and unlocked the door, his key chain of an ice cube that you had gotten him for his birthday hitting the wood of the front door. Pushing the door open, the sound of fast paced walking was heard. All Ice saw was (y/h/c) and all he felt was arms going around his neck. He didn’t need processing time as his arms rushed to be around you, his head resting on your shoulder and a smile on his face. Light and muffled sobs were heard coming from you as you were officially not boyfriend-and-brother-less.
“Hey Angel, it’s ok. I’m here, I’m here” Ice ran his hands up and down your back to sooth you, which was muscle memory. “Babe, please look at me” he pushed you back a bit, wanting to look into your gorgeous (y/e/c) eyes. Your teary eyes looked up at his and everything you had been worrying about, evaporated. Your face lit up and you let out a sigh. As ice wiped any remaining tears from your face, the moment was interrupted by your brother feeling ‘left out’.
“Wow, this is a lovely wall! I’ve never seen anything like it! I just love how-” you both look at him as he stands with his hands on his hips, looking at the wall. You both laugh and roll your eyes, you went to Maverick’s side and slapped his shoulder. “-Ok, you can shut up now!” You silenced him and pulled him into a hug. He hugged you tightly, putting a hand on the back of your head. “You’re 6 years older than me and yet I question who really is the oldest here” you let go of him and it’s his turn to slap you, he chuckles. “I missed you too”
After you all settled down and you helped Ice bring in his bags. You all sat on the couch with the snacks and beer, making up for lost time. You laughed together, listened to each others stories of the past months and it felt like they never left.
“Alright guys, I’ll be back for dinner. I’ve just got a meeting with Viper about my Instructor position” Pete stood up and kissed the top of your head and shook Tom’s hand.
Once he was out the door Tom wasted no time in kissing you. His hand reached up and cupped your cheek, which you instantly melted into. Tom picked you up and placed you on his lap, hugging you close. He kissed your cheek, while his fingers played with your hair.
“Home sweet home” Tom’s lips stretched into a soft smile at the cheesy saying. You smiled back at him, mapping his face with your eyes. You still felt like you were dreaming, which is understandable given the length of time you were separated.
You placed your lips to his forehead and then to his lips, pecking them. “I love you Angel” Tom declared. Your smile grew and you didn’t hesitate to reply.
“I love you more Ice cube”

I hope you enjoyed my second imagine on Tumblr!
I mean this whole scene—*cough* movie *cough*—was never really not gay✋🌝
my favorite icemav moment is right after Ice calls Mav dangerous for the first time and Mav goes “Thats right! Ice… man,” because in the pause Mav could not be more obviously checking him out. Like his eyes flick over Ice’s whole body and he’s touching his shoulder and then the “man” is so much quieter and like distracted
Like you can visibly see Mavs mind gay panicking
“Thats right! Ice *holy shit this guys so handsome oh my god and hes built too i can feel his shoulder muscles through his uniform and damn hes so tall and look at those legs for days oh my god*… man”
and then his tone gets much more flirty and he doesnt back out of ice’s space for a moment like
Its 2004...Mav and the flyboys getting drunk asf at his bachelor party. Slider gets called to bail their asses out, who is at Ice's stag right across town. He goes, takes a picture of them looking shitfaced and is sworn to secrecy to never tell Ice about the actual reason they got arrested. Slider agrees.
Fast forward to 2022—post tgm mission. Mav wakes up in the hospital, dazed but alive! Ice is sitting at his bedside: annoyed, relieved, yelling at him…kissing him. Tells Mav he’s grounded and rants about how he can’t believe Pete is almost 60 and still is “trouble walking.”
Mav, groggy and trying to be cute, mumbles, “I’m not trouble.”
Ice just pulls out the photo. "You want to try that again, Mitchell?"
Slider is a liar who lies.
this but make it icemav PLEASE someone
My personal headcanon as to why Ice wears sweatpants in the volleyball scene is that the night before, he hooked up with Mav and told him “no marks on the chest, we’re going to the beach tomorrow and I always take my shirt off.” So Mav covered his thighs in hickeys.
And the next day Ice has to convince Slider to wear sweats
Iceman and Maverick on one of their "friendship-affirming" vacations. Because you can't keep up the will-they-won't-they energy with your best friend for 30+ years without popping the what-are-we's once every few years.
Left pic was taken by Mav when they were lounging at a resort bar. It was one of those rare moments where Ice could simply enjoy the entertainment and their conversation. They barely drank, but Ice's body easily sank to the pillows on the sofa. All about Ice, down to his fingertips, right now seemed relaxed. Open. Inviting. Maverick could feel himself getting drawn in. Couldn't help watching Ice's lips as he took each drag of that cigarette. Maverick felt a tingle in his chest as he took in the sight; even The Iceman looked warm in the soft yellow light. Ice never looked more breathtaking like this.
They stumbled into bed together, later that night, still wrapped up in conversation. Sincere admissions were exchanged, also hopes and anxieties. If there is one thing that's certain in this world, let it be that they always have each other. They slept tangled in each other's limbs till late morning.
Maverick woke up feeling energized. He greeted Ice good morning with a few smacks on his butt and a dare to race to the beach. Then bolted right out of bed, cackling like a maniac.
Ice ran after Maverick, grumbling, but not before grabbing their camera. When he caught up with Maverick, the man was already waist-deep in sea water. Wet, translucent fabric was clinging to his muscular torso, which should convey an image of a hardened, trained body. But to Ice's awe, Maverick's skin looked soft and radiant in the morning sun. Mav yelled at him to join him, but Ice stood still, opting to admire the beautiful man from afar. Later, as Maverick plopped down on the sand next to him, Ice pretended to be more interested in the horizon in front of him. Not for long, though. He just needed a minute. To prepare himself mentally. Ice stole a glance sideways. Sweet sweet Maverick was looking up at him with a smile. Ice pressed the shutter, and his stomach did a flip. Maverick never looked more stunning like this.
I will never forget the day I discovered “wingmen” was already used as a euphemism for gay lovers before the Top Gun fandom got ahold of it.
Oh, but hey, it’s probably just a coincidence, it’s not like there’s any proof the cast or filmmakers were aware of this, by all accounts, obscure queer historical aviation romance. It’s not like the top half of the cover art mirrors a famous scene from the fil… wait…
“You can be my wingman anytime”
“Bullshit, you can be mine” indeed Tony Scott.
i love a good fic where bradley takes the rest of the daggers to his house with mav and they find out that ice is mavs husband and then all the other flyboys are there and the daggers are all in shock and mad at bradley for not telling them
And Maverick's hands are always warm af
They call him Iceman because his hands are always cold as shit

Hi!! I wrote this Icemav little fluff story yesterday night, so why not share it. It's cozy, it's cute, it's warm.
I hope, if you take the time to read it (with the playlist I shared for a better experience🌝), you'll like it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
xx💕
SUNDAY'S WARMTH
Summary : Maverick drinks. Iceman drinks. Maverick sleeps. Iceman sleeps. Maverick wakes up, next to Iceman. Oh well.
• Hugs from behind, especially when you’re least expecting it
•He would definitely have a picture of you that he rests on the dashboard of his plane (he keeps it in his wallet when he’s not flying)
•this man gets insanely jealous, but he doesn’t act out, he simply turns ice cold and only responds in one word answers, a permanent glare under his aviators
•Maverick flirts with you just to make Iceman angry
•you’re constantly afraid for his safety when he’s deployed, but he calls you every night to reassure you and tell you that he’ll be home soon
•he lets you wear his Annapolis ring, aviators, and flight jacket (in fact, he loves it when you wear his stuff)
•constantly showering and taking baths together, sometimes to have some fun and others just to relax and hold one another
•he smells insanely good all the time (this man loves cologne)
•the other pilots treat you like their little sister and watch out for you (especially slider)
•he always wants to be touching you, wether it’s an arm around your waist or shoulders, holding hands, or his hand holding your thigh when you’re sitting next to each other (especially when he’s driving)
•you never get any sleep the night he comes home from deployment (😏)
•he credits a lot of his success to you and your constant support
•he loves kissing you on the forehead and the top of the head, especially when hugging
Let me know if you want me to do a part two, an NSFW version, or more dating head canons for different characters!
