Out of all the '86 flyboys who became like uncles to little Bradley, it wasn't Mav, it wasn't Slider, it wasn't even Wolf or Wood- who taught him his first swear word, it was Ice He'd done it with his nieces and nephews and little cousins before, so why would Bradley be any different? Of course, he figured one of the others would have beat him to it, but the shocked and speechless look on Maverick's face told him otherwise.

When no one had been looking, he'd quietly beckoned Bradley over with a "Hey, baby Goose, com'ere." When Bradley's little voice had proudly chirped "fuck" over the dinner table, Maverick had immediately choked on his food and dropped his fork while Carole immediately burst out in laughter so contagious, Ice couldn't help but catch on. Mav's pale face and shocked expression only making the situation funnier.

"Carol, I swear- I didn't- I never-" Maverick rushed to defend himself.

"Oh honey, I know. And I know I didn't, which means," Carol turned on Ice then, and damn. He didn't think of that. He figured Maverick would've already pulled the stunt. "Mr. Goody two-shoes, Thomas 'Iceman' Kazansky, is the first person to teach my son a swear word." Carol cackled while pointing and accusing finger at him.

"Ice-" Maverick implored in disbelief.

"Well, I figured-" Ice gestured over to Maverick while struggling to conceal his grin.

The conversation turned from their to all three adult coaching little Bradley on how, yes- that is a word, and no, it's not a very nice one that should ever be used, all while desperately trying to suppress their laughter.

However it was Ice who would suffer the unforseen consequences of his little prank, as over the years, neither Maverick nor Bradley- now proudly Rooster, would ever let him forget that it was Admiral Thomas "Iceman" Kazansky, Commander of the Pacific Fleet who had taught him his first swear word.

NONE OF YOU ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS 🫵

Something about Mav crying in the cockpit the first time he tries flying after Goose

our pastor said that “Isaac and Jesus are alike in so many ways— both their fathers wanted to sacrifice them” like okay. im going to cry in the middle of church service now.

Some COD sketches

you know what, this also seems like a good time to post this

i made a whump wheel

want to beat up a character but don't know how you wanna do it? same here, friend. behold, the whump wheel! it currently has 60 different prompts/tropes on it and is ready for use! 🎉 i...love this thing. it is wonderful for writing exercises. (if you wanna know what's on it before using it, take a peak at the screenshot below)

Ice's dogtags are another matter. Sarah is already in the picture but she is a civilian and she isn't Maverick so the first time they diagnosed him with cancer he doesn't even think too much about it. He's barley forty-five, the chemio is going to take time and with no assurance it's going to work and Maverick is squishing his hand so hard it's almost feels like it's going to break. It doesn't and Maverick doesn't let go.

After the first cycle of therapy Ice is just too tired and he feels like crying and he can't and he wants to fly one more time, with Slider, with Maverick, alone up there in the sky, as fast as he can because maybe, maybe if he flies fast enough all of this is going to a memory. But he can barley leave his bed on good days, let alone fly. He puts his dogtags in Mavericks hand one a Thursday night, just a couple of hours before his deployment in Iraq and Mav kisses him on his forehead and his lips. It all sounds and taste like the goodbye he never wanted to exchange with this man.

Maverick wears them around his neck, along with Goose's at the beginning, and then just them when he gives Goose's to Bradley. He never stops wearing them: not when Ice goes in remission, not when he's on a mission and then testing planes that go so fast he can barley explain the sensation of flying them, not when cancer comes back and takes away Ice's voice once and for all. He wears them and touch them everytime he misses Ice. It happens a lot, it will always happen a lot.
