IceMav wedding day with their exchanged feathers in pride of place ♥
A couple of days ago I answered this ask: clickety and added a bit of worldbuilding vvv
Although also consider: voluntarily grounding or at least 'inconveniencing' themselves to show how important the other person is ♡ ('You. Voluntarily flying less. Hm.' Ice didn't have to sound THAT skeptical, geez. 'Counter argument; I finally get to show off your hardware in my wings, I want to do it all the way.' More softly, 'Come on, Ice. You have to know I'd choose you, right?' No answer forthcoming as Iceman sort of melts and just folds Mav up in a borderline clingy hug)
and I am now invested.
Picture Mav, strutting around flashing the physical symbol of his and Ice's bond to anyone who even glances at him. And now picture him relentlessly throwing himself into the sky, taking tumbles and almost breaking his neck multiple times before he figures out how to compensate for the disruption in his flight feathers. Picture him trotting Ice out to watch him. Ice watching the love of his life proudly wearing his feathers, adapting his entire way of flying to be able to carry Ice with him when he takes to the skies (And Ice is so proud, and besotted, and also relieved because he never wants to be responsible for taking the sky from Maverick, even if it's temporarily and voluntarily chosen)
me after reading an icemav seven minutes in heaven fic
carole bradshaw you are so older sister energy i refuse not to write you with your younger gay brothers (icemav) and your baby boys (goose and rooster)
Becoming a Top Gun fan is going from wondering why people ship IceMav to you randomly started shipping it and you have no idea when it started. It just happens. IceMav chooses you.
Okay Top Gun fandom, I have a serious question…
Can Ice dance? Not ballroom, but like club dancing. Can he serve on the dance floor? Because — I don't think he can.
Now, Mav yes, absolutely.
Ice, no way in Hell.
Opinions?
The day Maverick discovers there's an Iceman in F1 and he's as bas as his Iceman when it comes to have any type of normal working relationship with people and media is the day Mav decides he's going to put Tom Kazansky in the fastest car he can put his hands on and he's going to watch him drive because he knows it's going to be a beauty to behold.
(Also, he can't help himself when it comes to imagining how good Ice is going to look in a driver uniform.)
In the 1980s, the Naval Investigative Service intensively tried to remove gay men from the military. Once they misinterpreted the queer slang phrase "friend of Dorothy" (a euphemism for gay man used since around WW2) and thought that there was a real woman named Dorothy who knew plenty of gay men in the military.
The NIS decided to find Dorothy and force her to reveal the names of gay service members so that the Navy could throw them out. They wasted a lot of time and taxpayers' money on this and the action, of course, ended in failure.
Just imagine Icemav angst related to the fear of discovering their relationship and simply Mav being chaotic and messing with his superiors.
Ice: I was away from home for a week and a half and you spread rumors and made the entire NIS look for a non-existent woman.
Mav with an innocent look on his face: I literally don't know what you're talking about.
Slider: Yes it was him
I'm begging on my knees for someone to write this
"King and Lionheart" by Of Monsters and Man is IceMav coded.
Somebody just suggested grounding Mav…
Maverick: I've been where you are.
Rooster: Struggling to prove yourself as a naval aviator, yeah, I know.
Maverick: No, I meant being in love with an asshole in your Top Gun class.
Viper:
Iceman: I dunno what’s wrong with me, sir. I can’t eat, can’t sleep, maybe I’m coming down with something?!
Viper: O-hoho, I know what you’ve got, the L word.
Slider: Yeahhhh, leprosy!
Viper: No, Kener. It’s 4 letters, starts with L, ends with E.
Slider: …
Slider: A-ha! Lice!
If Iceman was a dog and Mav was a cat, they’d still find some way to be together.
Oh, so it's because Iceman is on his shoulder like an angel? Oh...so it's because Iceman is on his shoulder like an angel. OH--SO IT'S BECAUSE ICEMAN IS ON HIS SHOULDER LIKE AN ANGEL--
Maverick: And what do I get out of this?
Slider: I will give you a dollar.
Maverick: What do you think I am? A chump? I would never do it for a dollar!
Iceman: How bout two dollars?
Maverick: You got yourself a deal.

SOMEONE WRITE THIS PLEASE I NEED IT IN MY BRAIN
Well, I’m a sucker for a de-aging/time warp scenario. And along those lines this little scene sprung to mind the other day.
Essentially the set up is, whether through experimental technology, a time-ripple caused by the darkstar, or something else entirely, teenage Ice and Mav end up getting dropped into the modern day. The proceed to get along just as well as you would expect even younger and brasher versions of these two would. Also Modern!Icemav get stuck babysitting them while the whole things runs its course.
YOOOOOO THIS IS BANGER

Val Kilmer Truths
Top Gun - Incorrect Quote 217
Maverick: You look to me as if I am the one at fault
Jester: Well, I'm not going to look at Kazansky
Iceman: *Was actually Ice's idea and talked Mav into plan* I tried to tell him Commander, he just wouldn't listen
Ice: I can't fix Mav, but I can fuck him, see if maybe that calms him down.
Thinking about Jake being 'hot for teacher' and realizing (after the fact, post-canon when he finds out about who Mav is for Rooster for real) that all the mannerisms he found hot in Rooster first time they met (and still are part of why he finds him attractive) are Maverick's mannerisms but inherited
(The way he moves his hips, the way he bops his head when he plays piano, the way he clenches his jaw when he's frustrated or angry, the way he raises his eyebrows and just-barely-there smirks when he flirts, the way humms instead of saying yeah, the way he ruffles his partner's Jake's hair when he's being fondly affectionate, the way he makes his french toast, putting it in the toaster before marinating, the way he bits down on his tongue when he's thinking about something complicated, even the way he clears his sweaty face with his shirt is exactly like Mav's - he takes it out from the side, not the front like everyone would; that's all Maverick but in Rooster's version)
[Maybe Jake even gets a second blast of surprise when he realizes the way Bradley wears his shirts unbutton on the top directly mimics the Iceman, the way the admiral scratches behind Maverick's ear directly mimics the way Bradley's done it to Jake countless times, the way he eats his ice cream - scoping it around the base, then taking the syrup or sprinkles, then coming back to the base, then to the top - they way plates his meals in three equal parts, veggies, meat, carbs; that's all Iceman]
he’s not as strong as he thinks he is
Mav and Bradley reconcile and he finds out (it's not really a surprise tho) that Mav and Ice got married, so he apologizes for not being there for them at their wedding.
Mav blinks at him all confused because while he's feeling something at Bradley being so remorseful — looking like a kicked puppy, really — about missing a big moment of their life but also because, "Oh, no, buddy, we didn't have a wedding."
And the thing is, they got married when Ice's health took a turn for the worse, and it was allowed and legal and would, in Ice's opinion, make a lot of things easier for Mav in case he died — even just from an inheritance point, or just so the Navy doesn't forbid him from being part of the state funeral. It was a very quick sign the papers, get someone to officiate it in the hospital, and then get their lawyer to adjust the paperwork in the express time kind of marriage.
Things got better and life went on and they just, well, forgot to have a real wedding. And they were fine with it. They didn't need a wedding, in fact now that Bradley was back in their life, they couldn't be happier.
But in Bradley's head, an idea is born. Mav and Ice will have their 30th anniversary in a few months (more like almost 10...) and it's the perfect time to get them to have a wedding. You know, as a gift from him for missing all those years from their life.
The problem is, it very quickly turns out that Bradley is shitty at planning weddings. He doesn't know where to start and what needs to be organized and how to organize it in a way that lets it stays a surprise.
But you know who is good at it? Jake Seresin, brother of four sisters, planner of four weddings.
And how does Bradley know that? Well. He might or might not have been Jake's plus one to all four of those weddings.
Mav: My fetish is saying some incredibly stupid shit and watching Ice speedrun the five stages of grief as he realizes with horror that he still wants to fuck me.
