THIS MAN 😍😍

Underrated form of intimacy:

The quiet discussion and good-luck affirmations between you and the person helping you don your armor. The comfort of knowing that the straps and buckles are perfectly secure, because the person who did them up loves you more than words can say.

Hello everybody and welcome to the Top Gun Fake Dating Summer Secret Santa Fic Exchange!

We are thrilled to announce this and hope you’re all as excited as we are to get this in the air. 

The theme for this exchange is fake dating! All participants will fill out the sign up form with three prompts or ideas relating to this theme with corresponding characters they’d like to see in each scenario. Each participant will be matched with another participant, and must write a fic with a minimum word count of 1,000 words. The fic must highlight at least one of the fake dating prompts they’ve received and must center around at least one character from the Top Gun universe.

As this is a fic exchange formatted like a secret santa, it’s important to keep who you’re writing for a secret! We want everyone to be surprised when they receive their gift, so it’s best to keep it under wraps. If you would like to use a beta, we’d recommend reaching out to someone who isn’t involved within the fic exchange. 

Sign ups for the exchange will begin April 20th and close April 27th, the prompts will be distributed April 28th. The deadline to finish your fic is July 4th. Due to the nature of the fest it’s important to adhere to this deadline, however if you require an extension please email the mod team at tg2024exchange@gmail.com (please include "TG Fic Exchange Extension/Change Request" in the subject line if possible). 

sign ups are open here

We can’t wait to write with you! Jag, Cori, Cy, Shan, Red, Asia See also: FAQ | Rules

Love thissss it's also giving the same vibes as this

Stumbled across this tweet and simply had to record it. Not my best Henry Czerny impersonation, but I think I captured the spirit. Also, forgive the sound quality, I'm terrible at editing audio.

Today is the day! Finally posting the first chapter of my icemav oblivion au :D I'm really happy with how this cover art came out actually, there's a lot of fun significance and metaphorical choices made.

I hope you guys will consider checking out the fic!

We live and die in the shadows, for those we hold close and those we never meet.

since Ao3 is down I'll postpone the posting of my fic until later, so for now might I interest anyone in the Penny and Amelia piece I drew for @topgunzine ? It was an absolute treat to moderate and create for this zine, please keep an eye out for the launch of leftover sales!

Icemav - Hades & Persephone

They say Hades rules the Underworld. They say…the only being that can bring him back to a semblance of life is his husband, Persephone.

Just a little idea I had the other day while listening to Hadestown!! Hope you like it :))
