But what if. What if Mav comes to tap Bradley out at graduation even though they haven't spoken a word since Bradley stormed out of the house years ago. Even though he knows Bradley is still pissed at him and might always be.

Just because he knows what it's like to know no one is coming and still hope that someone will show up - and to be proven right. And he doesn't want Bradley to know that too.

It doesn't make Bradley forgive him. It makes him fucking pissed, actually. It makes him cry too, later, when he gets too drunk celebrating with his classmates and realizes that Mav pulled his papers but he still showed up.

And years later, when Mav writes to him (He wants to call but he can't make himself. He's too scared that Bradley won't pick up. So he writes a letter instead.) to let him know about Ice's diagnosis, Bradley shows up too.

IMAGINE/HC:

It’s 2015 and this is Maverick face planted in bed after yet another Navy ball with Ice (pic below).

Now listen…Maverick just got back from a long term assignment, and ofc he kisses Ice breathless the second he walks through their door—only to realize his husband is already halfway into his dress blues, his medals laying pristine in the middle of their kitchen island. It's also a Saturday hence Mav's confusion.

“Where are you going?”

Ice raises an eyebrow. “The Navy Ball.”

“…That’s tonight?”

“It’s been in our shared calendar for months, Pete.”

Cue Mav cursing, stumbling up stairs to their closet still jet-lagged, but bringing out his own clothes to the kitchen determined to suit up to Ice’s amusement.

Look, Beau Simpson is getting promoted again, and Maverick’s fucking convinced that man is climbing the ranks just to get a look at his husband’s ass a little longer.

Ice, oblivious as ever, thinks it’s ridiculous, that he’s nearly a decade older than Simpson. That Mav is just imagining things.

Maverick just stops in his tracks and stares at him like he’s the crazy one, because his husband is the most handsome man on the damn earth, and Pete swore he’d remind him of that every single day. Of course Simpson wants a piece of him!

The thing about Ethan Hunt is that if someone were to call for help near him, with no context at all, he would drop everything and rush to help. No hesitation, no deliberation. He’d just run. Because that’s who he is. He’d throw himself into the fire for someone he’s literally never met before, not for duty or regret or obligation, but for love. He has faith in humanity. And he loves so deeply. And Also he’s literally just a little guy.

I need Top Gun 3 to really expand on Hangman, like for instance, that his first air-to-air kill wasn't the best moment and its how he lost a wingman, how else do we Maverick-afy Hangman then by having him lose a wingman.

Top Gun 3 needs to be the near break down of Hangman and how he is 90% bravado covering up trauma that eventually boils over.

Mav sees so much of himself in Hangman and will stop at nothing to help him, that and Rooster sees how broken Hangman is and THEN we learn the history between Rooster and Hangman by Hangman having a heart-to-heart with Maverick.

TOM CRUISE IF YOU CAN HEAR ME!!!!

@milenaalaire I think this is right up to your corner, sib.

Furthering my feral daredevil brothers Mav and Ethan headcanon don't mind me~ Ice sees where this is going and it promises to be a huge pain in the ass 😌

Little snippet:

Ethan, minding his business while sauntering through a navy base, totally not planning to scout out a few offices of interest: 🙂

Suddenly accosted by Ice, who drags him into an office. "You," Ice starts with a glower, "you are the source of 40% of my migraines."

Ethan, placidly, holding his hands up: "...IIII'm not Mav..?" Nevermind that he's most definitely wearing his brother's service khakis, but details.

Ice's glower intensifies. "I'm aware."

Ethan falters briefly, then indignantly: "...you're aware. Okay, then you should ALSO be aware that ambushing me like that almost got you karate-chopped in the throat in your own goddamn base, and Pete would NOT be impressed with either of us if that happened 🙄"

Ice and Maverick both being “outsiders” that will never quite fit in but handling it in different ways is so special to me. Ice making up for it by being perfect so even if no one likes him, at the end of the day he can ice them out and pretend that he feels superior. Maverick knowing that nothing he does will be good enough so he lashes out and does the flybys and is a menace to pretend it doesn’t bother him. You know?

after DADT repeal, Ice and Mav make a point to show up for every spouse event they can. They sent too long not being able to attend each other's ceremonies and promotion parties to avoid being suspicious but now it's over, they don't have to hide anymore and they'll make the most of it.

Ice is recently COMPACFLT, stationed in Hawaii while Mav is somewhere state side. There's a bring-your-loves-one-to-work type of event at Mac's base and Ice arrange his schedule so he could go. He arrives to base the day of in civvies, take a badge that identifies him as Maverick's spouse (it's still a naval base, strict with who allows to be there). Unfortunately, there's a problem that mav is sent to take care of for most of the day, so they don't get to enjoy each other company like they'd have wanted. Still it's nice seeing where Mav works and with who.

Globally the day goes well. It could've been better if not for the admiral in charge of showing off the jets. It was cleared he didn't know much about them and was only reciting his notes . When ice tried to say that one jet could be pushed harder, he was interrupted and told that "just because his husband did it that it was normal". After that ice didn't insist but he could feel the guy's eyes on him, judging him and Mav. Ice lets it slide, he argues with idiots everyday at his job and was trying to enjoy his day off. Still he didn't like that admiral's attitude.

Later that night as they were eating dinner, Ice told mav: " I'm not telling you to provoke [that admiral] but if you were ever to prove him how wrong he is, I'm just saying you wouldn't be in any trouble". Mav smiles at him so big and so in love, Ice knows he can't regret such decision.

(and if there's half a squadron doing risky maneuvers at unbelievable speed the next week, well no reprimand can be found on nobody's record, but Mav's self satisfied smile does make it to the scuttlebutt mills)
