Rereading Tell me you won’t leave by @demiclar and let me just set the scene folks:
Outro by M83 playing (in my mind)
Maverick, Slider, Merlin and Ice gathered around Goose’s gravestone:
“I miss you.” He breathed, running his fingers over his friend’s name. He swallowed down his tears, willing his voice to be as steady as he could make it. “But I’m gonna be okay, Goose. I’ll be okay.”
THIS FIC GETS ME EVERY TIME EVERYONE GO READ IT PLEASE
I know I’ve ranted about y’all needing to read this before but THIS IS YOUR REMINDER!!!

It’s so hard to explain characters doing their own thing to non-writers but this is exactly it.
“Finally, some good flow! Well let’s have a nice chat- and yep they’re fighting again, damn it.”
Hit some hard writers block for chapter 9 of CRASH LANDINV 🛬 and I finally got back into the groove today and
Oh my god they’re screaming at each other

Incredibly excited to read this as it unfolds! This is the exact type of fic I’ve been looking for!!
Reasons for recommendation:
-The author is a genius. Seriously teach a tomcat crash course for me pls.
-I can just sense the oncoming flirting/ tension and I’m super into it
- Wood and wolf in an established relationship and well known amongst friends is exactly what needs to happen in all fics, it’s already canon and the author nails it!
Happy Reading!
chapter 2 word count: ~4k
main themes: iceman angst, icemav, major platonic slice, hurt/comfort, big fluff, flyboys being flyboys, military-accurate (hopefully), aircraft carrier, everyone needs a hug (especially iceman), takes place a couple months after top gun, things will get worse before it gets better, emotional pain, maverick & iceman are oblivious af until they aren’t
pain: imminent
summary:
"In light of the current political climate and recent events, we put in a request for an additional crew to be sent to fill the gap in personnel and help us finish out our cruise. With previous experience in our squadron and one hell of a reputation, I would like everyone to welcome back from TOPGUN Pete “Maverick” Mitchell and Sam “Merlin” Wells. Boys, thank you for coming on such short notice.” Maverick slowly turned his head to look over his shoulder at Marco. Marco immediately looked away and Maverick bathed in how glorious it felt to be on the other side of the situation

There is one thing i noticed in the movie and i absolutely loved that i need to point out cause i've never seen anyone talk about it.
When they're in Paris and Henry says they should make love that night, you have Alex going all nervous and adorable and Henry looking at him in the sweetest way ever
And then that idiot goes "i mean who says make love anymore, are we gonna like listen to Lana Del Rey while we do it??" AND LOOK AT HENRY'S FACE 💀💀💀
YOU CAN HEAR HIS THOUGHTS ah yes, back to being a dumbass THAT MAN IS DONE ☠️☠️☠️

I’m CRYING these are all hilarious and dare I say are less head cannon and more actual cannon, like I’m pretty sure these are just facts??
(I especially love people calling Alex princess)
RWRB hcs probably pt. 1-
•After they get married everyone (mostly June and Nora) started calling Alex princess. Like, "shut up, princess"
•Henry has read MANY fanfics and written several of his own. This includes a secret five chapter story about him and Alex that stays hidden in the depths of his computer
•I know Taylor Swift is a controversial topic in this fandom, but you cannot tell me Henry "queer historian, writer, and dramatic gay boy" would not jam out to and cry over ts songs alone in his room
•David loves cuddling with Alex, and Henry calls him a traitor, but really he finds it adorable
•Alex has definitely brought some feral animal home that he found on the street hoping to save it and raise it as a pet, and then Henry made him give it to the shelter and he cried all night
•June and Nora get a cat. That's it. They're just cat moms
•When Pez, June, and Nora are all in the same place, they are most likely gonna sleep together
•Phillip gets better and he and Henry are able to work on mending their relationship after Mary dies and neither of them have to deal with her manipulation and abuse
•Alex posts lots of thirst traps, and Henry dies every time
•Alex calls Henry lots of pet names I'm Spanish, and also just in general talks to him a lot in Spanish. Henry has very low understanding of what Alex is saying for the first couple years, but he still melts
•Henry eventually tries to learn Spanish and after a while he can carry a conversation. Oscar often makes fun of his pronunciation though
•Alex is an apple user Henry is an android user. They argue about it often
•Alex's shit got rocked when Hamilton came out. He saw it 10 times
•They continue to have a New Year's party for several years after Ellen leaves office.
•They have a daughter and a son, the son is Henry and June's biologically, and the daughter's Alex and Bea's biologically. Both are referred to as aunt though. Also they used IVF not sex, just to be clear.
•When Alex turns 35, a petition is spread around social media trying to get him to run for president. It gets double the needed signatures, but he doesn't end up running.
•Alex usually tops, but not always. Henry is usually more dominant though.
•I know in cannon Bea gets married to someone (presumably a man) but I hc that she's also gay and meets a girl whose picking her friend up from and na meeting. (Idk, I have a whole story set out for Bea's love life)
•Not really a hc, but Henry has def ridden Alex while wearing a cowboy hat
•Pez always buys the children of the super six super lavish and expensive gifts when ever he visits, and becomes the favorite of the aunts and uncles
•After their first fight once married, Alex has a huge panic attack thinking they won't make it together, but Henry calms him down and it doesn't happen again
•Zhara and Shaan have a daughter who is the scariest little girl in the world. Alex is legitimately scared to get on her bad side.
•David has his own insta account and he has many photos in little outfits
•Henry and Alex write letters to each other every time one of them has to go somewhere for work, just for old times sake
•Henry's first novel absolutely kills all the queer teens, and is basically that universe's RWRB
•Alex often steals Henry's Jaffa cakes and won't ever admit it. Henry knows, and he finds it adorable
•Ever so often Alex will get super into some new topic and do loads of research, and write essays or make presentations on it and then share it with Henry so he can teach him everything he now knows.
•Lowkey canon, but Henry's a Maurauders era fan
•He's also a Tumblr girly and has had a secret blog for years
•The super six do slideshow nights, here's an example of one of those nights: Henry: People from History You Didn't Know Where Queer, Nora: The Statistical Likelihood of Each of Us Releasing a Rap Album, Pez: Rating Everyone's Exes, Bea: The Most Embarrassing Stories About Henry I Can Think of, Alex: Hottest Politicians Around the World, June: The Most Embarrassing Stories About Alex I Can Think of (Her and Bea worked together)
•Occasionally Henry will use an American term (like saying chips when he meant crisps) and Alex will use a British term (like jumper instead of sweater), and both get very upset when it happens (whoever didn't slip up finds it hilarious)
•They joke around whenever a gossip site releases an article about their relationship, like, "oh look, I've apparently left you and headed back to England after you cheated on me" "oh, good for you, that was a rude thing for me to do"

Is now a good time to tell the story about how I discovered this book years ago?
I am a ✨stupid girly✨ in the best way but I really don’t think sometimes. That being said, back in 2019 I think? Maybe it was 2018? Idk years ago I saw an ad for this book, I literally judged it by its cover and just bought it without reading what it was about. I just dove right in not knowing what might happen. And to my glorious and wonderful surprise it was quite literally the best love story of our time. I was 10/10 thinking in the beginning it was going to be about just their rivalry (an idiot I know) but then I started to catch on and be like, oh?? Are they??? Gonna kiss?? But never let myself get my hopes up because I unfortunately come from a generation whose media was so hetero-washed that I wasn’t quite sure where they were going with it.
ANYWAY it was an amazing surprise to watch them fall in love and it became my favorite book of all time. I seriously wish I had a Time Machine so that I could go back and give past me some good news, She would’ve died over this movie adaptation and it would’ve carried her through a lot 💖
Thank you.
I really want to see the reactions of people who went into Red White and Royal Blue thinking it was going to be a buddy movie.
