Mav: *dramatic gasp* You dyed your gray streak?! What the hell is wrong with you!? Ice: I happened to like it! I think it takes ten years off! Catch you later babe. Mav: That was my gray streak! I caused it, and it was mine to remove!

Hi TG Fandom!

Here’s a tiny thing I couldn't get out of my head. I was also listening to Hozier’s Francesca on loop.

Put me back in it; I'd do it again!

Anastasia: resurrection.

…

When Anastasia Trace is a little girl: her grandmother calls her Natasha, but her grandfather calls her Goose. 

Anastasia climbs up high into her grandfather’s, her Dedushka’s lap, and plunks her head down on his shoulder — she has two thick, black pigtails where she used to have thin, soft blond hair and for some reason that she can't articulate yet, the thought makes her so very sad. “Почему ты меня так называешь, дедушка?” She asks him, huffing softly into his sweater. Why do you call me that, grandfather?

“Это было единственное имя, на которое ты откликался в детстве, мой маленький гусь.” 

It was the only name you answered to as a baby, my little goose.

If Anastasia closes her eyes and tries, really tries, her eyes as green as the marking dye that surrounds them in the water, she can taste the sea on her tongue. She can feel hands dragging at her flight suit, trying desperately to hold up her heavy head as her breath slows down to a trickle. Goose, oh no, oh no, please… She can hear him cry, his hands desperately pumping at her chest in the wrong position. She is splayed out on top of him; she is already dead. Please, he begs; sobs into her bloody hair, please, I can't do this without you. Please don't leave me. Please come back. 

“Maverick.” Anastasia whispers into her grandfather’s chest, but she says it resolutely to herself. “I have to find my Mav.” 

Her Dedushka holds her even closer, as if he knows that a second life spent chasing ghosts is somehow worse than the first.

(After Rooster's first week at TOP GUN) Rooster(on the phone, sounding a little grouchy):...Hey, Dad. Goose(sighs):...What's his name? Rooster: What? Goose: The asshole in your class that seems to be making it his mission to piss you off - what's his name? Rooster: Hangman. Goose: Is he good-looking? Rooster: What?! Goose: Is he? Rooster: Uh...yeah, I guess. Goose: Is he blonde? Rooster:...How'd you know that? Goose(to Carole): - Honey, talk to Bradley. I need to scream into a pillow and then give Maverick a call.

Sorry that its kind of a long post, too tired to figure out why the ‘read more’ thingie isn’t working :’3

You know what would be funny? Whether or not in this scenario Bradley and Mav would still be talking or not - imagine that Bradley still talks about his family, and that includes his dad, so Jake catches things about him from time to time and makes mental notes in case he ever meets him.

The problem is, he is not aware Bradley is talking about 3 different people. And Bradley talks about Mav using 'dad', and about Goose using 'dad/father' and about Ice using 'pops'. Sometimes he just uses 'my old man' for any of them and only he knows it.

So Jake is under the impression that dad, father, pops and his old man are one and the same person, which in turn makes Bradley's 'dad' into some kind of mythical being.

Because he's a naval aviator, but he was also a RIO?? He's an admiral, but he's a test pilot as well?? Or he was from Tenesssee but he was also from New York and from DC??? He had a father (Bradley's grandfather) who died in a car crush and who died in Vietnam, and who died of cancer? Also he has tons of medals but he's also a person non grata in the Navy? He drives motorcycles but hates motorcycles? He taught Bradley how to drive but also had his driving licence confiscated twice for bad driving?? He met Bradley's mom in a group home but he also met her through his best friend? He's gay but he's bi but also he's a straight ally who Bradley is pretty sure dated guys at some point (can that even be classified as a straight ally, Jake doubts it)?

Jake doesn't want to call out Bradley on the inconsistencies out of fear he'd stop talking about his family or feel pressured to tell him more than he's ready for, but Jake is also dying to meet that man just to confirm what is true

Mav, somewhere on the other side of the world: *gets texted a photo of ice creating an ocean with his tears* the hell?

Slider: your man is sad

Goose, who's used to dealing with Mav throwing a tantrum every time Ice is away: match made in fucking hell, i say

based on this post i saw lol

[military-newsboys]

Mav: I think we're missing something. Rooster: Teamwork? Bob: Cohesion? Phoenix: A general sense of what we’re doing? Hangman: an IQ in the double digits?

[needforspeed161]

I’m going to Miramar this weekend for the Airshow and am totally gonna think about all of the stuff I’ve read in IceMav fics that they’ve done around the town, the base, North island. Like “OOOOH THE POOKIES WENT ON A DATE THERE ONCE” and “OOOOH THEY CONFESSED THEIR FEELINGS ON THAT BEACH”

I’m so excited, please if you’re an icemavver and you’re going let’s rant about our boys
