i would write more icemav, but it's finals week, so here are some headcanons:
ice gives the best hugs. slider basically taught him how to hug, and since slider is the resident teddy bear, ice is a master
mav definitely doesn't mind this after he accepts that he's touchstarved
chipper, hollywood, wolfman, and merlin specifically make sure that mav eats vegetables when ice and slider are away
speaking of food, ice's slavic background (specifically russian and polish) is often very helpful when showing pete his past. He sticks to kosher (he's jewish), and shows mav pierogi. 
Mav absolutely loves home cooked meals. He got taste of all sorts of cultures and religion while in the system, and there were a few recipes he took with him, but there isn't anyone to teach him to cook. 
ice and mav take bradley on outings all the time. the zoo, the park, carnivals and cinemas. Carole loves that they spend time with him, and she loves that it gives her time to still have friends and time to herself.
tom gives forehead, hand, and nose kisses. Pete gives cheek, shoulder, and chest kisses. 
they started out as angry hookups to "blow off steam", but they very quickly realized that they were a lot more complicated than that. it took them way too long to confess, but they grew softer and sweeter much sooner than their peers had expected
that's all i got tonight, folks, but i hope you enjoyed it. if you have any headcanons to share/expand on, feel free to send an ask or dm me!

It's Flu Season! And because Maverick would be the biggest baby if he got sick...
(Penny, Wolfman, Slider, Merlin, and Hollywood run though the front door of Iceman and Maverick house, with Iceman tiredly sitting on the couch in the living room)
Wolfman: Ice?! what's wrong?! We all got your message that you needed help!
Iceman: It's awful! The whole house is sick! First Hangman came down with the flu, then Phoenix, then Rooster, then Payback, and then all the rest of the Dagger Squad! I was running a sick ward all weekend!
Merlin:...wait, why isn't Maverick helping you?
Iceman (flatly): Because then came Monday...
(Maverick comes out in his bathrobe, hair tousled, pale, clammy, and half-asleep and in his hands a bottle of pills)
Maverick (whining): Ice, honey? Can you open the aspirin for me?
---
(The whole 80s Top Gun team and Penny stay to help Iceman run the house and take care of Maverick and the Dagger Squad)
(Maverick is in bed, weakly ringing a bell)
Maverick (ringing the bell): Slider...
Slider (in the next room helping Coyote): Give me a minute.
Maverick (ringing the bell): Slider...
Slider (in the next room): I said I'm coming!
Maverick (ringing the bell): Slider...
(Slider rushes into Maverick's bedroom in a panic): What?! What?! What?!
Maverick (weakly): My pillow needs poofing.
Slider (eye twitching):...Mitchell, I don't think you want to put a pillow in my hands right now.
---
(Maverick is in bed, whining and gasping for breath)
Maverick (weakly): I'm dying, Hollywood. I'm giving up the ghost. Every cell in my being is crying out in anguish. It was a good life while it lasted, but this is it. Hello, Grim Reaper.
Hollywood (with a bottle of cough syrup and a spoon in his hands): Cut the bullshit. The medicine doesn't taste that bad.
Maverick (weakly):...Goose? Dad? Carol? Is that you?
---
(Maverick is in his bathrobe, still sick, and in Iceman's home office while Iceman is frantically typing away on his keyboard)
Maverick: Ice, sweetie? Can you heat up some chicken soup for me?
Iceman (stressed): Mav, sorry but I'm really busy right now! I need to approve this contract in twenty minutes! Can't you just fend for yourself?
Maverick (whining): But I'm sick, honey...
Iceman: Mav, for fuck's sake, we're not talking brain surgery! All you have to do is open a stupid can and dump it in a pot!
(Maverick disappears into the kitchen and then come back a minute later. In his hands is a pot, and in the pot is a can of chicken soup. The can is open but the contents of the soup are still inside the can)
Maverick: Now what?
Iceman:...now, we talk brain surgery.
---
(Maverick stumbles in the kitchen where Penny, Wolfman, and Merlin are making soup and orange juice for all the Dagger Squad)
Maverick: Is it time for my aspirin yet?
Wolfman: No, Mitchell.
Maverick: But my throat hurts...
Merlin: Maverick, go back to bed. It hasn't been four hours yet.
Maverick: But my head hurts! My joints hurt! My eyes hurt! My body hurts! (in a baby voice) My itty bitty widdle pinkies hurt!
(Penny sighs and opens the aspirin bottle)
Maverick (smirks): I knew I'd win with that one.
Penny: These aren't for you.
(Penny gives two pills to herself, Merlin, and Wolfman and they all gulp them down immediately)
---
(BONUS)
(Cyclone is back at headquarters in his office, feet on his desk with a small glass of bourbon)
Cyclone (smiling): What a peaceful, quiet day.

Viper to Maverick, who’s about to marry Iceman: Today, two families are becoming one.  Slider, in an ominous voice: Two families enter, one family leaves.  Rooster, worried: That sounds so threatening…  Merlin, with his hands outstretched like a camera frame: The Wedding Games. Iceman, already planning the deaths: May the bouquet toss be ever in your favor. Maverick, whipping a tear of joy from his eye: Beautiful.  Viper, rubbing his forehead: I should have stopped at one.

Before Iceman received his callsign his friends called him Kaz. So Goose and Cougar and Merlin? They knew him as Kaz first. On occasion Ron calls him Tommy but Ice always gave him an unamused look when he does, not that it stops him. Let’s make one thing clear, though, no one else is aloud to call him Tommy. Slider makes sure of that.

how can you be homophobic and like top gun (1986) as if the pilots aren't literally homotron 3000, inspector gayget, the lgbtnator, ikissboys69, twinkalink, ilikemenderman, mcqueerson, goose, and draculas gay cousin archmybacula

Headcanon that Slider and Ice love how smol pocket sized Maverick is. They do every thing they can to make sure they can always lift him up and plop him on their... hip 😏. So even when they have a full desk job, they are still the fittest of admirals around because y'know. And Maverick gets hot for how they can manhandle him whenever but he likes to give them a challenge sometimes so he gets really good at squiriming out of their hold.
*taking notes* manhandling maverick…
I have my own HC that Slider eventually becomes a commercial airline pilot, but even then…Just six foot something buff ex-navy commercial pilot and his maverick backpack- I mean personal carry on.
Slider is taller than Ice so he’s got more leverage for some more creative ways of carting Maverick around, though Ice still gets his entertainment in.
Maybe a year or so after TOPGUN and they’re bored on a carrier, they figure out they can play helicopter with Maverick because the guy just doesn’t get motion sick. They take turns spinning around whilst holding Maverick by his ankles and for some reason they guy finds it fun. There’s also no gym onboard so after a while the running gets boring and they figure out Mavericks around the same length as a barbell. And whilst he’s no where near the weight any of them lift on the regular, they all have great core because he moves around. It becomes normal to see Maverick sitting cross legged on Slider’s back as he does push ups or for him to be clinging to Merlin’s torso as the RIO does squats. Ice of course is the only one who’s allowed to bench him because of the…hand holds he has to use.
Eventually Maverick gets bored of being the equipment all the time so he decides to start getting his own back. Merlin is his own personal climbing gym, that guy is enormous. But he gets Ice to support his legs as he tries to learn to do near verticals push ups and hand stands.
And when they’re back on shore and all alone, there’s other less innocent ways of making use of their size difference…

Why Iceman and Maverick are the worst kept secret of the Navy:
*Mav passes a pen to Iceman*: *they look each other in the eyes for 0.3 seconds*
Hollywood *from the other part of the class not whispering at all*: oh no Wolf do something they're going start making out again!!!!!
Slider *finds them kissing in their room* *screaming to Merlin on the other end of the hall full of sailors*: fouND THEM. THEY WERE ALMOST FUCKING. SUNNY OWNS ME FIFTY BUCKS.
Goose *blocking the use of the bathroom to everybody and the Admirals at the O-bar*: sorry folks, our estimated pilots are settling a score 😏
Ice *coming out of the bathroom and looking suspiciously happy*: why everybody is start at us?
Mav: I don't know. Wanna go home?
Ice *looking softly at him*: yeah, yeah, let's go home
Everybody else and the Admirals: 😳

Top Gun headcanons
Top Gun headcanons because my brain go brrrrr
-Maverick loves when Jake calls him Pops. At first he didn’t really care because he knew Jake was just being an ass but Jake kept calling him it during training and/or after the mission and Maverick realized he really liked it.  Bonus points if you pair it with the Jake has an abusive father headcanon and never had a good father figure to look up to so by calling Mav Pops he is allowing Mav into that role for him.
-Maverick loves to snack. In his carrier days, anytime he had a moment of free time you’d find him in the mess hall munching on something. A bowl of blueberries, celery sticks, an apple he cut up with his pocket knife. Once he started working at Top Gun he kept the break room fridge stocked. Everything was labeled with sticky notes and do not touch on threat of death. Jester stole from him constantly, but he was sneaky about it so Mav never found out it was him, but Viper and Ice always knew. When Mav goes back to work there post TGM, he keeps a mini fridge in his office and the Daggers figure out if you ask Mav for a snack he will never let you go hungry. 
-Slider loves stealing Ice’s books. It started out because he was bored on deployment and he wanted to know what the fuck Ice was taking about and then it just grew from there. He never asks for the books, Ice just learns to leave them out after he finishes them and a few days later he’ll find them near Slider’s bunk with a ratty old bookmark tucked between the pages. 
-Ice reads classic literature. The first time Slider picks up Fahrenheit 451 after  Ice is done with it he nearly calls a therapist. Instead he calls Merlin, who has also read the book and he despairs when he sets Ice and Merlin off on an hour long discussion of the book. 
-Maverick loves kids. I think we all knew this one, but after Slider and Merlin have kids Maverick wants nothing more than to be the favorite uncle and has managed to beat out every single blood related sibling Slider, Merlin or their spouses have. He spoils the kids rotten taking them to the beach or out for ice cream. When one of Merlin’s kids starts questioning their gender he brings them to his hangar and teaches them mechanical shit like fixing cars and working with power tools. The experience is affirming but it also gives the kid someone to talk to about what they’re struggling with, and Mav is a great listener.
-When Slider and Merlin aren’t posted in the same place they call each other at least once a week. After smartphones become a thing, they text constantly. Half the time it’s complaining about Ice or Mav but the other half is just them shooting the shit and being bros. Their kids joke that they’re dating and they picked up the joke from Ice and Mav. Their spouses just find it amusing.
-Slider will throw an absolute fit if he has to fly in Maverick’s backseat but Maverick actually likes it. Not only can he tease Slider and pull a bunch of maneuvers that piss him off, but if he can’t fly with Merlin he likes being able to fly with someone familiar and as much as Slider complains, Maverick knows he respects him and thinks he’s a good pilot. If Slider does end up in Mav’s backseat, the minute something serious happens he’s fully on board with Mav, helping him out exactly how he knows Mav works best with and even complimenting him when they get back safe.

Thinking about what would happen with Bradley whenever Maverick was shuffled off to another side of the world for pissing off yet another higher up after his mom died.
Did he stay with his grandpa Viper? Did Mike Metcalf take Bradley in and spoil him rotten with the rest of his grandkiddos? Did he sneak him treats to take home to Maverick when Pete finally came back around and told the kid stories about Maverick and his dad? Did grandpa Jester also come by and have a grill-off with Viper and making the grandkiddos judge the results?
Did he stay with his bastard Uncle Slider? When he came back to Maverick's care he knew how to cuss someone out in four different languages, full of even more sass, and was decently skilled in fighting dirty?
Did he stay with Uncle Merlin? Who regaled him with stories of his dad and Mav? Who talked about the shit they got up to on the regular whenever they were bored or drunk or both.
Did he stay with his Uncles Wolfman and Hollywood? The pilot and his RIO keeping the kid entertained by watching Baseball games on TV? Buying him his first baseball bat and jersey and coming to his games with handmade signs and a megaphone?
Did he stay with his Uncle Sundown? The other RIO letting him tinker with his radio and play with his daughters? Laughing as Bradley was dragging into tea parties with the girls or playing school with the girls? Eventually he and Sundown's younger daughter became close friends and study buddies when Sundown was briefly stationed in California for a few years?
He did stay with his Uncle Ice. The taught Bradley how to tie a tie, helped him pick out a tux so he could be the ring bearer at his wedding, listened to Bradley's ramblings about planes and the Navy and whatever captivated the boy's attention. Ice would take Bradley out when he was feeling sad and missing Maverick, Ice would hold him up so he could spot Maverick in the crowd of servicemen returning home. It was Ice who attended every baseball game, event, and promotion that Bradley ever got.

*Maverick, Merlin, Hollywood, Wolfman, Slider, and Iceman in their bunk room with some “medicinal” alcohol after saving the SS Layton*
Slider: You’re telling me you’ve never broken the sound barrier? Not even on accident?
Maverick: Nope. I’ve stolen a jet and buzzed seven towers now but I have never broken the sound barrier
Merlin: How do you accidentally break the sound barrier???
Hollywood: It’s a lot easier to do than you’d think
Wolfman: What about you Iceman? Ever accidentally broken the sound barrier?
Slider: Who do you think he is, some amateur? He would never break the sound barrier on accident
Iceman: Yeah, I only ever break the sound barrier on purpose
Maverick: *chokes on his drink*
