My little fanfic appreciation project - inspired by this glorious gif set by the immensely talented @reputayswift - all the fic featured here are linked below. Permission to use the text excerpts was given by the respective author(s). There are so many amazing fics for this ship it was really hard to pick only eight of them. Who knows, maybe I'll make more in the future. The fabulous art in the last gif you see was created by @littleststarfighter who kindly gave me permission to use her art in my gifs and edits. Thank you so much, Lucy! Tell me your favorite fic, and I might check them out :) Stargazer @nerdherderette [Rating: Teen and up - Words: 5,145 - Status: Complete] Siren Song @scaryfriend [Rating: Teen and up - Words: 15,044 - Status: WIP] Flyboys @gefionne [Rating: Explicit - Words: 301,442 - Status: Complete] i can see through you (see to the real you) @kyluxtrashcompactor [Rating: Explicit - Words: 77,179 - Status: WIP] all that you love will be carried away @ceruleancynic [Rating: Teen and up - Words: 32,163 (Series: 156,107) - Status: Complete] A Disappearance at Danvers @starkillersbae @eighthchiharu [Rating: Mature - Words: 51,877 - Status: Complete] First Order Hotline @onewhositswiththeturtles [Rating: Explicit - Words: 19,943 - Status: Complete] Dirty Laundry @jaynesilver [Rating: Explicit - Words: 5,840 - Status: Complete] Red Excels the Crimson @dragonflies-draw-flame [Rating: Explicit - Words: 4,611 - Status: Complete]

Iceman may have made the climb in ranks, eventually earning the title of Admiral and Commander of the Pacific Fleet, but that didn’t mean he had to give up flying entirely right away.
Retired Rear Admiral Jay “Spook” Yakeley continued to fly as he raised through the ranks, as did a few select other Rear Admirals. In fact, Spook said that he was able to fly just about whenever he wanted given his rank on base.
“I flew all of the teen fighters in one day. I went up in a Tomcat and a Hornet in the morning. After lunch I flew an F-15E and a TOPGUN F-16. Kind of a stunt, but hey. When you’re an admiral you can do stuff like that.” - Jay “Spook” Yakeley, Rear Admiral USN (Ret.)
Ice would have definitely done that just to rub it into Mav’s face, maybe to spite the other pilots. He would have someone hold the video camera and record him, and he’ll start in front of each jet talking to the camera. Nothing much, just his name and callsign, date, time, location, the aircraft type, aircraft bureau number, etc. for record keeping and proof.
Tumblr media
Then he’d be filmed climbing into the cockpit and going for a fun flight performing some semi-difficult maneuvers, nothing super dangerous but still impressive. Then he would move on to the next one and repeating the process. Ice would have kept it on the down-low, spending time carefully organizing his schedule to allow for his stunt to be pulled off flawlessly without drawing attention to himself.
Tumblr media
Then he’ll bring the video to the next Tailhook reunion early and have the organizers set it up on a projector or video device (or however old video tech works 🫣) just waiting for when one of his friends make a jab at him for probably not being able to fly much anymore given his new rank. And he’ll just turn and give a subtle nod to the man. Maybe it would have been edited by a movie editor he has connections with or something to make him look like the BAMF he is.

'86 Flyboys responses to Maverick saying "We've got a problem":
Ice: No, YOU have a problem. What I have is an idiot who keeps getting himself into problems.
Mav: So you'll help me?
Ice: Of course.
-
Goose: Gimme a sec, I'm not drunk enough to listen to this yet.
Slider: And it's another Tuesday, what's your point?
Wolfman: Let me guess, you caused it?
Hollywood: Would shooting you solve the problem? No? Then get out.

Luke that engages in casual, mundane stuff with Duke. Luke that knows that the Waynes can be hardcore at times and even at their highest moments, they still play a little too rough for someone who didn’t grow up with The Life and it gets a little hectic.
Luke that shows up in the morning with a bag from the beauty supply store and sits in the living room with Duke for however long it takes to help him do a retwist. Luke that roughhouses––not spars or brawls, but just irritates, enough to get on your nerves but never enough to leave anything sore. Luke that buys two copies of all the newest games so he and Duke can play at their respective homes. Luke that trash-talks the whole time. Luke that drives Duke around, or lets him borrow his car when he needs driving practice. Luke that goes along with whatever lie Duke tells, then crosses his arms and stares at him until he gets the truth.
Basically, Luke that is Duke’s big brother.

Would anyone be interested if I made a bunch of little profile pictures of top gun characters for you all to use freely? If so, drop some characters you'd like to see in the tags!

Slider and Iceman fist bump after their flights.
Hollywood gives Wolfman a fist bump after their flights but Wolfman always responds with an open palm shouting “Turkey!” because they’re flying the turkey.
Maverick and Goose high five after their flights because they can never agree coordinate who’s the head and who’s the tail of the turkey.

Conversation
(Maverick and Goose made a small indoor skating rink)
Slider:...What is that?
Maverick: This? This is ice. This is what happens to water when it gets too cold. [turns to Iceman, gestures to Slider] This? This is Slider. This is what happens to people when they get too sexually frustrated.

A/N and a WIP sneak peak
Am I dying for my midterms and finals to finish so I can jump onto my ridiculously long Iceman whump WIP that I’ve been waiting months to write? Yes.
Sneak peak:
Ice was struggling to maintain his calm and collected mask; chest heaving with small puffs of air through his nose, his muscles tensing painfully locking in place refusing to give them the satisfaction of him falling to his knees. The only repreive he allowed himself was wrapping his hands in the chains holding him up and resting his forehead against the cold steel of the post in front of him. A small grunt escaped raw throat. His thoroughly chewed lips now split from his desperate attempt to stay quiet. His back spasming with each sharp strike. Choking down a mouthful of blood.
He will not fail. He. Will. Not. Fall.
He will stand tall. Even if he couldn’t bare to look over at his teammates, even if the distressed whine Ron let out at each strike to his left caused his ears to ring.
He refused to fail, he refused to fall.
He will not let his Rio, his brother suffer the same fate as him.
“Disobedience has consequences Kazansky” the rough voice hissed behind him with a sharp strike as the pain licked cross the already bleeding wounds. His body jolted but his jaw clamped shut. “Let’s see how loud we can make you scream”.

Masters of the Air (2024)
I did NOT expect to tear up when Crank excitedly started to call Bucky's name behind the fence, but there we go 😭😭 Look how happy he is!! Charles Cruikshank is the softest flyboy, and I'm so relieved he's still alive!
