This is perfect!

CaroleGoose my beloveds! 🥰

"And here we are in heaven. For you are mine... at last!"

Nick and Carole on their wedding day! Based on the headcanon I made in this post where their first dance song is: At Last! By Etta James! (Mav took this photo)

Mav + Slider: *running away from something/someone*

Carole: Should we help them?

Ice: *running after Mav + Slider*

Goose: Nah, I think they're okay

They were not

Flying in life and death

Ok, so I was looking at this and I had an ✨idea✨

Picture a fanfic, up in Top Gun heaven, where you get wings if someone back on earth gives you their. Think of them, and your wings will appear. The more wings you are given, the greater the range of people you can think about to make them appear. If you think about two of them at once, you'll get two sets of wings.

Everybody liked Goose so it seems likely that he'd have a few.

Carole is not a pilot so she doesn't have any. If she wants to fly though, Goose has enough wings for the both of them. He'll carry her.

And, of course, Iceman has Maverick. So, whenever he thinks of his wingman, he'll be able to fly again.

Wings

Slider: Why is Goose unconscious, and why is Mav dying on the floor, laughing?

Ice: Goose was going to hit his head on the doorframe so Maverick told him to duck, and he quacked at him. And then he hit his head.

Slider: *wheezes*

Slider: Why are you smiling?

Ice: What, I'm not allowed to smile just because I feel like it?

Goose: Maverick tripped and fell down the stairs...

Slider: lol.

"Would you still love me if I was a worm?"

OR

Penny: Pete?

Mav: Mmm?

Penny: Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Mav: *totally unphased* Yeah, of course.

Iceman with Slider...

Rooster: *without looking up* Yeah, sure.

Rooster: *silently high-fives Phoenix*

Top Gun Headcanons #6

The event Goose is referring to, when he tells Maverick he must have carnal knowledge "of a lady this time" was the night before they were deployed on the Enterprise.

Maverick had been boasting about being able to pick up a date anywhere so, when they walked into the bar to find it apparently full of exclusively men (and mostly navy men at that), Goose bet Maverick $20 that he wouldn't be able to find some to go home with that night.

What Goose had apparently underestimated, was just how persistent Mav could be when presented with a challenge. Totally unphased, he struck up a conversation with a taller man sitting at the bar. Mav steadily, not so subtly, began flirting with him and he good-natured flirted back, until Maverick began to proposition him for real.

That was about the point when Goose realised that his dumbass of a pilot was actually serious, and pulled him away, marching him back home before he could get any of them into trouble.

The next morning, they were greeted with something of a surprise... Boarding the Enterprise, they were introduced to other members of their squadron and, typically of Pete Mitchell's propensity for shenanigans, there was the man from last night.

Goose felt about ready to expire with embarrassment on Mav's behalf. Pete just groaned, letting his head fall into his hand. The stranger, however, thought it was hilarious and just burst out laughing. He introduced himself as Cougar, and the man beside him (his RIO) as Merlin.

"Goose. Maverick." Nick responded, giving his pilot a long-suffering look.

Pete just groaned, again. Cougar laughed. "Well, I'm sorry to have to break your heart then, Maverick," He teased, "But, I'm married."

Mav opened his mouth and then shut it again. "You're- You- Why- Why the hell were you flirting with me, then?" He managed to get out, semi-outraged.

Cougar shrugged and nodded at Goose. "I heard your friend here make you a bet. Figured it wouldn't hurt to humour you a little, help a brother out y'know."

A grin began to spread it's way across Maverick's face. He threw an arm round his new acquaintance. "You know, Cougar, I think you and I are going to be very good friends."

Cougar laughed. "Count on it."

Stinger: You two characters are going to TOP GUN.

Mav and Goose:

Had very mixed responses to this on Reddit. What do you guys think?

We Could've Been A Family

Some people long for a life that is simple and planned,

Tied with a ribbon,

Some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land,

To follow what's written,

But I'd follow you to the great unknown,

Off to a world we call our own.

Hand in my hand

And we promised to never let go,

We're walking a tightrope.

High in the sky,

We can see the whole world down below,

We're walking a tightrope.

Never sure, never know how far we could fall...

But it's all an adventure

That comes with a breathtaking view,

Walking a tightrope,

With you...

Top Gun ❤❤

maverick x iceman nation rise up

*slider balancing the bottle of whiskey he dared mav to down in one go*: let him continue goosey

mav, loudly clearing his throat and shaking out a VERY long sheet of paper: my dearest goose

goose, glancing up: yes?

mav, assuming a strong stance like he’s about to serenade him: my dearest nicky, words cannot express my adoration for you, nor my dedication to your side. nay, but I shall attempt anyways. your hair is silky like a really nice pillow, your eyes as deep as a river. your nose was drawn by the gods, and your mouth was painted with a rose. 

goose, turning to mav’s literal boyfriend, eyes wide: you aren’t going to stop him???

ice, mav’s aforementioned literal boyfriend, turning the page in his book: if I stop him now, he’ll just start over

mav, getting louder: YOUR HANDS-

okay top gun but it's halloween party time🎃

'86 group!

the costumes:

mav : vampire (i am fully going with "interview with the vampire" on this one) the fangs stay on the WHOLE party even though he is struggling with the snacks

ice : a very disgruntled frankenstein (but he slays it 100%). the mood gets slightly better as he watches mav curse over the green face paint aaaaall over his hands after having painted him. a smol vampire stumbling around their living room while simultaneously having a slight lisp because of the fake fangs is a funny sight indeed.

goose + carole : all the couple costumes, oh my god. carole has doooozens of spares.

princess peach & mario? check, definitely goose's favorite. baby brad tumbling about as yoshi♡_♡

johnny & baby? goose absolutely practices the lift with mav, who ends up with quite a few bruises. he gets a lot of beers & a drive home, but, if he's honest, he'll do anything for his best friends anyway.

that halloween ends with a very happy carole. ideas for bradley?

gomez and morticia addams? double check. the white face paint required a triple wash but they SLAYED that. bradley as pugsley is the vibe<<3 carole has a secret dealer for the best halloween wigs.

slider : this man is not at ALL for halloween. nope. not happening. ice manages to convince him with the promise of good food and a lotta booze. surprisingly, he even comes in costume! as a secret nerd (which i see him as) we are gonna get batman.

...

or he-man?

that would be for the kids-free party°○°

mav almost faints when he walks in with that and ice laughs so hard he has tears streaming down his face. the rest of the class is just impressed honestly, it's not bad! not to mention that he doesn't need the muscle suit...

wolfman & hollywood: PARTNER OUTFITS!

mean girls? that was a bet they lost to slider... them legs were fiiiine in those skirts.

buzz and woody!<3 they argue for hours on who's who & end up with wolf as buzz and hollywood as woody👀

the twins from the shining, they chose that themselves and NO ONE knows why.

ghostbusters! best partner outfit of that year, they all had to admit it.

listen i did not think about the timelines when which movie came out😆 this is chaos.

enjoy<3

part 2?
