Iceman and Maverick taking baby goose to see Santa at the mall.
Santa (looks at Icemav): Have you young men ever used any bad words like “Bah” or “Humbug”?
Bradley (gesturing to Ice): He’s used “for fuck sake”!
Camera turns to Maverick who’s struggling to breathe on the floor due to his abundant laughter.

Goose on Film pt2
Part 1 Masterlist


The big photo albums that Goose kept all of his pictures in, took up the majority of the bookcases in the Bradshaw's study, lining at least the two bottom rows. Goose on Film Volumes 1 - infinity for all Ice cared. He never really bothered to count them, cause whenever he had tried to, Goose had produced another one, adding it to the shelf after making a whole show out of it. Goose would get out the projector and made all of them sit in his living room while telling them a story about each and every one of the photos he's taken for this album.
Ice would be lying to himself and everyone he knew if he didn't admit that he at least enjoyed those evenings just a little bit. In fact he loved them, together with everyone he cares about, Mav by his side laughing and smiling.
Today was another evening like that, celebrating Goose on Film volume 30-something. Mav's last mission, him and Bradley smiling and laughing as they had made it out alive, BBQ at their place last summer and much more.
Ice stared at the cork board with a faint smile, looking at the things Goose and Carole had deemed as important enough to hang up on there. Two post-it notes, one with an airplane Goose had tried to draw that came out looking more like a fish, the two photos he had to steal back from Mav and Slider's wife, a negative to a picture of him and Mav from the 90s and of course their entire pride and joy, a picture little Brad Brad had drawn them. Not being able to draw planes seems to run in the family.

Ice smiled like he only did in private, looking at all the memories the Bradshaws had kept over the years, their entire house a testament to a life full of memories worthy of being stored out in the open.
Goose on Film Vol. 5, open on the floor, first page showing Mavericks sloppy all caps handwriting in a pen that had already seen its best days by the time Goose made his husband write the title with it. The photo to the negative that was on the cork board, gleamed at him in mint condition, like it had never been touched or seen the light of day. Maverick never seemed to look at the camera when he was so most of the photos they have together are of either him or Mav looking at anything other than the camera pointing at them. Nothings changed there.

Sometimes Ice doesn't know which exit ramp on which highway he took to end up here, but he won't question it.
"Ice come back! Carole's getting the ice cream!"
His smile grew, bidding the albums and the cork board a last goodbye. "Until next time", Ice whispered and turned back around to his family.
Listen I know I promised this thing to you guys at least a month ago, I apologize. My apprenticeship is beating my ass right now, time wise mostly. Thing is I've also been writing on an icemav ff. I'm not going to promise you ppl any time frames, cause I know it won't work out, but it'll come.

Fics that have together/married Icemav and therefore Ice (who is fine god damn it) ensures he's on the carrier when the Dagger squad is sent out and therefore hear the man he loves sacrifice himself for their son, and then has to listen to "Dagger Two is hit! Dagger Two is hit!" make my brain fizz like pop rocks.
This is not a complaint

Before Ice went to the final surgery that costed most of his voice, he recorded a tape that no one knew of. And it's not until Mav returned from the mission and finally had the courage to look through Ice's things that he found the tape.
He saw his name in Ice's neat handwriting.
"To Maverick. With love." It said.
Already tearing up, Maverick put it in Ice's old radio.
Ice was singing. Softly humming all the silly songs Mav sent to him (from CDs he bought all the way to Youtube videos he sent) throughout the years.
Maverick laughed. And laughed. Until there were no tears left for him to laugh.
When the last song ends, he heard Ice's voice, full of emotions.
"I love you."

I can’t remember what fic it was but essentially mav couldn’t read very well (or he was dyslexic like I said I can’t remember) but he still read Bradley bed time stories but the stories were based off the pictures in the book. Would Jake do that with his swamp chickens growing up so they would have bed times stories?
Also how does slider ice and mav react to finding out Jake is dyslexic????
P.S. I love you’re writing ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the compliment, Nonny! 😭❤️
Oh he absolutely did that! Also all the Cajun stories he heard about while working with adults to get money, fishing and lifting heavy stuff, he commits to memory — he tells them the scary stories of the rougarou and feu-follet.
He wants them to be like ordinary kids, scared of things that go bump in the night, not people.
Jake copes with his dyslexia very well as an adult, most people don’t even notice his occasional stumbling over words that he spells or him taking a little bit longer to read something. His kids have never known anything different, so it’s normal for them for one kid (usually Mack) to do all the ordering if they go out, or to read street signs aloud. They just do it like second nature and eventually someone asks why… Oh, Ness has math brain and he’s tired so I figured I would read the sign so he didn’t have to double check.
Jake, turning bright red as he drives the crew around: She means I’m dyslexic.
It changes nothing and everything. 😉❤️ Suddenly every piece of paper Jake gets handed by Mav is at a lower contrast level so it’s easier for him to read. Slider will offer to read aloud a chunk of the big NATOPS Jake is studying. Ice won't give him directions like left and right, he’ll use specific coordinates or clock hands, or “follow the yellow car”. Bradley will proofread his writing without a single comment and Jake… is very confused.
