Okay but au where Duke Mitchell survives and raises Mav to be very weary of the military, but flying in air shows for fun, he is a mechanic or something idk. He and ice meet somewhere and Mav is like fuck you dude my dad told me boys like you were gross and the military is an evil lie. And then Iceman has to confront the fact the he’s actually gay af but the guy he likes thinks he’s trash, but Mav is so free in the air and out and idk if love is enough to get ice to change his mind and quit his stupid navy shit, but he has a big ass crisis.

i think jake loves peaches. canned, artificial peach flavored, all of it, but he loves straight up peaches the best.
maybe his momma made peach cobblers when he was a kid, maybe something else related to his childhood, but he just lights up whenever there’s peaches available. and maybe bradley picks up on it, they’re at [insert dagger squad member here]’s folks’ place, and maybe there’s peach cobbler or pie, and bradley sees how much jake loves it, and gives him his piece too.
or maybe they’re all on a road trip somewhere, and there’s a little roadside stand with fresh fruit and drinks, and jake makes everyone pull over so he can get some peaches.
bradley makes jake’s momma give him her peach cobbler recipe, and jake cries the first time he makes it for him.
Another hangster meme redraw! (cuz they are fun and someone said this was them)
im thinking this is a picture javy took of them when they impulsively (drunkenly?) got married in vegas🤔
Close ups and og image below!
real shit 💯
inspired by this
I've always loved the tradition that many armed forces have of old squadron/unit members pounding their badges into the casket of a fallen friend (like the SEALs do with their trident etc) buuuuuut the visual of Maverick doing so made me really notice something.
Those badges are worn on the left side. Over the heart.
Maverick took the wings from over his heart to punch into Ice's coffin. He's sending Ice off with his heart.
He's not just lost his wingman, his friend his true love but he's losing his heart too. Goose is long gone. Bradley hates him & has done so for nigh on twenty years The new set of Admirals despise him His career is over, this is it Now Ice, a constant of nearly four decades is gone within days of Mav finding out he's ill. No time to try to emotionally prepare, no time to mourn, no time to process.
Stupid fucking gay pilots killing me again
The audio
i know what you are
You’re so mean you’re so mean you’re so mean 😣😣😣 /lh
Do you think Mav thought of Ice when he and Bradley marched through the snow-covered forest after being shot down? Do you think he thought of Ice as he felt the cold seep into his bones and the snow kiss his hair and the wind flush his face? Do you think he found the F-14, fully fueled and in near perfect condition, and thought of all the times Ice had gotten him out of a tight spot and back into the air? Do you think he flew the F-14 out to the open sea, hoping against hope there would be a familiar voice over comms, a second shadow on the glistening, deadly waves beneath him? Do you think he stood on deck of the aircraft carrier amidst a chaos of triumph and relief, and couldn't help but look for one particular face in the crowd?

“Danger! Your husband is calling! What did you do this time? Answer and you’re getting an earful! Twice. You’ll get it over the phone and again when you get home! However, if you don’t answer, it’ll be another reason for them to be annoyed with you!”
The surrounded Daggers all look at the phone with wide eyes, which Maverick had very deliberately left on the table to avoid accidentally placing it on the bar. Again.
“Maverick is married?” Coyote asks, turning to look at Rooster with a raised eyebrow. He simply shrugs and pulls a face, nods once to at least answer the question.
“To a man?” Hangman asks.
“Yep,” Rooster answers, jaw tight, hopes that Hangman isn’t going to start anything.
“Huh.”
The phone continues to scream out its warnings. Then Maverick is there, sweeping it up and answering, ignoring all the Daggers staring at him, eyes alight with combined glee and curiosity, who are now laughing uproariously at the pained expression on Maverick’s face. Everyone except Rooster, who is wincing.
“Maverick, why can I hear laughter?” Iceman asks, voice clear and Maverick grins, stares up at the glasses hanging from the ceiling.
“Uh. You know how I changed my ring tone for you?”
“Yes.”
“Well. I’m at the Hard Deck. Those reprobates you can hear laughing are the Daggers.”
“Hmm. I guess the fact you’re married is no longer secret, given that ringtone.”
“Hey. You think that ringtone is funny!”
“More when you’re in a meeting and everyone in that meeting knows who you’re married to.”
“Yeah. That is pretty funny. And they always let me answer for some reason.”
“It’s only happened twice Mav…”
“And it was very funny both times.”
“Hmm. Anyway, I was ringing to ask if you were coming home soon.”
“I just ordered another round of drinks…”
“I’m in bed naked.”
“Someone else can have my beer. See you soon.”
mav that isn’t a very platonic way to look at your wingman….

Summary: Bradley visits you in Boston. A winter attack surprises you both, so you decide to build a snowman together

A/N: today’s prompt: Building a Snowman
The first day of winter was a paradise, with snowflakes the size of feathers falling from a grey cloud. From your porch to the road and beyond, it quickly turned into a completely white desert. Bradley started clearing a path that day, cheerfully holding a snow shovel in his hand. Unfortunately, a few days later his newly formed road had been banked up above hip level, and the infantile thrill of excitement that had accompanied those first flakes had been replaced with a calm resolve and a sense of responsibility appropriate for adults. "Baby! I'll have to shovel!" As he was putting on his jacket downstairs, he spoke louder to make sure you could hear him in the restroom on the floor. Bradly started regretting traveling to Boston to spend Christmas with you for the first time in a while.
"Wait!" You yelled loudly, then ran down the stairs. Looking at him with joy, you grabbed your jacket and said, "I can help."
"No, you stay home, it's cold outside."
"It's winter, so the cold is to be expected," you commented, pulling on your shoes before tying them up firmly.
"I said something, Y/N, so don't fuck with me."
Crossing your arms over your chest, you pouted, "You got bossy recently. My assistance will not be provided to you, don't worry."
"So why are you going out with me?"
"For some fresh air," you shrugged, wrapping your thick scarf around your neck tightly. "I love smells and atmosphere of Christmas... But it's too much for me."
"You've always been the one who has been obstinate in our relationship," Rooster grumbled while rolling his eyes. Being the gentleman he was, he opened the door and moved aside to allow you to enter the outside area first. “After you.”
As you walked through the door, you bowed slightly, thanking him. As soon as you saw all the snow around you, you instantly jumped with excitement.
Bradley watched you with his eyebrow slightly lifted. "Y/N, you behave like a puppy seeing snow for the first time."
You smiled at him and went your own way. "I almost feel like it!"
"What are you doing?!'
Jumping into the snow with a loud giggle, you yelled, "I'm being the playful one!" Soon, you flopped into the fluffy snow to make a snow angel.
Bradley watched your lighthearted actions, but he quickly turned his attention to shoveling your driveway.
"Sweetie! Could you help me get up right now!" You asked, waving your hands in the air as you were unable to get up on your own.
"Am I resembling a crane? I don't believe so," Bradley responded with a sneer, yet he walked over to you and quickly raised you up with one strong pull.
With an eyeroll, you grabbed his jacket collar. "Why are you so grumpy today, Bradley? What's up with you?"
"I understand why you're so excited about all the snow, but you don't even try to help me with shoveling, even though you are well aware of how much time I lost doing it the last time."
"Baby? I just offered you help, and you told me not to fuck with you when you say no," you replied. "If I were you, I wouldn't do it. There's a chance it'll snow tonight. Let's build a snowman instead!"
Bradly put the shovel down after giving your proposition some thought. "Then let's do it then."
After squeaking joyfully and kissing his cheek, you moved away to find a perfect place for the snowman. Once you found the perfect spot, you created a snowball and started rolling it around, creating a base.
Bradley imitated your actions by first creating a tiny snowball, placing it on the snow, and then beginning to roll it about while observing how the snowball doubled its size.
As you watched him, you giggled, "My ball will be a base! I already know how we'll dress him up!"
"Do I need to be afraid? He posed the query while rolling the ball around, making it bigger and bigger.
"There's no need to be afraid. You'll love it, I think," you shrugged, continuing to work on the base until it met your standards. Then you helped him with the middle ball.
Bradly placed the center ball on the base with a bit of your assistance, then made another snowball to roll it through snow in the attempt to form the head for the snowman.
It wasn't long before the ready head was placed on top of the snowman. With pure excitement you run home, saying, "Okay! Now wait... I'm going to grab the stuff!"
Bradley, waiting for you to return, started shoveling the driveway at least a little bit.
Looking at him from the porch, you yelled, "I'm hiding the shovel from you!" You walked up to the snowman. "Leave it now, Bradley."
Bradley sighed and set the shovel down before coming up to you. "What exactly do we have here?"
"Just stuff," you summed it up before you began working.
The snowman was first given aviator sunglasses, a smug smile with a toothpick, and then a pilot-like jacket was wrapped around the snowy figure.
As soon as you were finished, you looked proudly at the final result, then glared at Bradley. "The snowman looks familiar, right? Who is he?" You chuckled softly.
The snowman now looked just like Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, and Rooster was unable to contain his laughter. "Have you seen my phone? I must snap a picture and send it to him."
"I grabbed it while I was at home," you smiled, pulling his phone out of your pocket but not giving it to him. "As a result of your stubbornness today, you have to pay for it."
"I need to pay? For my phone? Is this enough?" He asked, leaning forward to kiss your cheek.
A hum escaped your lips. "It's not enough."
Bradly kissed your lips after that remark.
"I think that's enough, sir," you giggled as you handed him his phone. "Quickly! I want to see his reaction."
Bradly first snapped a picture of the snowman by itself, and then he posed with you next to it. He hid the phone in his jacket pocket after sending images to Maverick.
"Do you think he will like me still? Or should I never show up near him again?" You asked with a raised eyebrow.
Bradley gently reprimanded, "You know well enough you're his favorite pupil and even if you'd kick his ass, he'd forgive you instantly. Of course, he'll claim that I made you build this snowman. He has no idea, though, that we should have added a massive dick to the top of the snowman's head if we had really meant to create him."
"No, no. Our snowman would get a massive dick if we try to build our beloved Hangman," you joked.
"Oh. My. God. Yes. I'll admit it - you're fucking right," Bradley readily agreed with what you said, and after giving it some thought, he raised an eyebrow at you. "Are you having the same thought? Let's build a snowman resembling Hangman, let's add a dick on top. I'll be happy to send him a pic," he said and a mischievous grin spread across his lips.
As you rubbed your hands together, you were already giggling uncontrollably. "We have to do this! To work!"
