bro he was SUCH A TWINK
i have this headcanon in my head that one day, when bradley was in his final year at usna, that ice showed up. in the middle of some form of lecture that bradley was sitting in on, ice came in and of course everyone shut up and is shitting their pants because why the fuck is the compacflt there but all he did was pass a paper to the captain giving the lecture, and turn to leave. he stopped when he accidentally caught bradley’s eye in the crowd, and everyone started to look at bradley who immediately stiffened. again, everyone is like why the fuck is the iceman making eye contact with bradshaw and why isn’t he cowering away?? ice turned on his heel and walked out, and everyone started whispering but then the lecture was over sooo… i like to think that this was the only interaction they ever had after he left and before after the uranium plant mission :)
does anyone have any fic recs for the daggers finding out that ice and mav are together? literally craving it rn
my top gun headcannons!
1. every sunday, the entire ‘86 group and the daggers have supper at ice and mavs, and without fail slider always manages to show up an hour late
2. growing up, whenever bradley was sick, he would crawl into ice and mavs bed and fall asleep with ices hand rubbing his back
3. mav invited the daggers to a barbecue at his and ices house, but only said his house. this is how they all found out that not only was he married or bisexual, but that he was married to the compacflt
4. the first time ice met phoenix, he took one look at her and said “maverick, are you sure she isn’t yours?”
5. ice and carole were super close, and would have constant “maverick” talks (a book club, but instead of a book it’s maverick they’re discussing)
6. penny and phoenix are super close, and she often helps out behind the bar whenever it gets too busy and penny can’t keep up
7. bradley calls penny “aunt pen” and she would constantly bail him out of trouble at school when he was a teenager (this is for my inner penny stan)
8. maverick was the one who taught bradley how to play piano, even though everyone assumes it was ice
9. in ice and mavs house, they have a wall that’s just photos of everyone
top gun nation please if you have any fic recs for incredibly familial icemav, with rooster and phoenix as their kids it would be greatly appreciated! i read one once and it hasn’t left my mind since.
icemav! prob gonna do all my fav ships like this lol
