All my love @immacaria ❤️❤️🥹

Maverick can Highland dance, really really well. He was a hyperactive little shit so his uncles brought in a tutor who taught him the Highland Fling, the Sword Dance, the Seann Triubhas and the Reel of Tulloch. Those are competition dances and I've linked some examples below under the cut. He’s also great at the “Irish jig” and the “Sailor’s Hornpipe” (the latter of which is done in a sailor suit and the flyboys never let him live the pictures down). 

He is decent at the pipes (Great bagpipes), by that I mean he whined through ten years of lessons and plays it ceremonially, because it was cute at the time and none of his uncles wanted to do it. 

All of Scotland calls him their “bonnie wee prince” and “wee Prince Paddy” even though Mav is well into his twenties. He is the country’s bairn, their communal little boy. He also very much hates this fact. 

He has been betrothed six times, and not a single arrangement has lasted past the point of the little lass meeting him. 

When Cougar left the Navy to be with his wife and little girl, he lost everything with it (housing, insurance, etc). So Mav made a call to his Uncle Jamie with a fresh round of crocodile tears and now Cougar’s little girl is growing up in a rural Scottish castle. “You’re always saying I skirt my duties, well, I found the perfect substitute to take care of Lews in my stead!” 

Also Slicemav is my favorite thing in the world and I have somehow managed to create the perfect Soldier (Sailor), Poet, King configuration with these three and I'm so excited for you guys to read it. 

If I haven't made it abundantly clear — Angus and Mav’s mother were twins, and he's consumed with guilt over her death. In fact, all the uncles are. Fergus because he feels like he broke her heart, angry that she wanted to go and told her if she went he'd never speak to her again. Jamie because he was so consumed with doing what his father wanted, that he missed how unhappy she was. Then, adding insult to injury, their father never recovers from her death and he dies soon after, thrusting Jamie onto the throne in his twenties. 

Mav inherits the throne by default, the same way Queen Victoria got hers — by simply being the only living child

Thank you dear!!!!!!
