The F-35 fuckup makes me wonder how Ice would deal with similar fuckups in the Navy. Or maybe when he sees Captain Mitchell's fuckups (like the darkstar) trending on twitter.
ahhh the f-35 fuck-up… someone asked me a similar question months ago about the f-22 balloon kills situation and i had a similar headcanon response which is, ice going “wow. hmm.” over their morning coffee and maverick groggily going “what. what happened.” and ice sliding his phone over with the CNN story pulled up, and mav goes, “huh. that’s not good.” and ice shrugs and sips his coffee and goes “well god help the poor fucker they draft to deal with it” and minds his own business and goes about his day. it’s the marine corps’ stupid autopilot stealth plane. not his problem.
(until it is, and then he goes scorched earth, ruthless fleet commander hours)
re: ice dealing with darkstar: i guess, number one, do we think the US military would memoryhole it? say some other military craft exploded & not give away the details of the program? “Air Force u-2 explodes over Rocky Mountains, one pilot ejects safely from 50k ft” or something. Twitter clowns on the air force & not mav. diversionary infosec tactics. number two, this is how ice deals with the darkstar issue

TOP GUN / Icemav fic recs part 5
Good morning aviators, this is your Captain speaking - and I bring you more icemav fic recs to enjoy 💖
Rec list 1 here
Rec list 2 here
Rec list 3 here
Rec list 4 here
Bodies in Motion by @elwenyere
It takes Maverick a while to notice Ice is always moving.
As always, Elwen has hit it out of the park with a character and relationship study that says so much in so little, and also happens to be very hot too.
all the waves and the tides by Cristinuke
After a summer's day of playing dogfight football with the dagger squad, Ice and Mav come home to take a bath, relax, and continue their teasing conversation.
Slice of life fic and domestic fluff is just everything that I ever want, and this fic delivers in spades. Old man loving is written so perfectly as well 💖
Kissed By The Sun by @wordsonamission
After the volleyball game, Maverick is left with a nasty sunburn across his shoulders. He tries to ignore it until it fades, but the pain of the burn is starting to get to him. The guys at Top Gun give him a rough time about leaving the game early to meet up with Charlie but Ice notices that the source of Maverick's frustration isn't so much his failed dated as the tender state of his skin. Ice lets Maverick borrow a bottle of aloe and is even nice enough to help him apply it where Maverick can't reach . . .
alternatively: Fellas, is it gay to smear aloe on your crush's body in the locker room after hours while making intense eye contact in the mirror?
The lengths gone to excuse slathering aloe all over your crush in this are simply epic. Men will use any reason to touch each other. Fic is well written and you can feel the summer heat radiating from it!
smoke signals by @qin-ling
Maverick figures it out on the Enterprise, sweat-soaked and high on adrenaline. Their skin brushes and it's fire in his veins, like sunlight, like a beacon in the night, and every neon sign points to—
Iceman figures it out much earlier than that.
Or; Maverick and Iceman are soulmates. They work it out.
Soulmate AUs in this fandom are always so crunchy, and this one does NOT disappoint! Very hot, emotionally fulfilling with excellent writing!
Bleed Out by @betanoiz
As soon as they're back from the mission Maverick goes to the hospital where Iceman is still in a coma. Things with Bradley are better, almost good, so the only thing left on his mind is the man fighting for his life

post-canon icemav looking at their history and the bits they've missed
aaaaughhhh angst my beloved... This is written with so much yearning and love and goes straight to the heart 🥺
everything's all by the way by Cristinuke
Ice and Mav have an enlightening conversation after Ice's divorce goes through.
Exes to friends to lovers is the best configuration of icemav, you can't change my mind. Very glad to have found this fic, which does the trope excellently!
twenty dollars verse by alecjbi
"Alright, the bet is $20. You have to have carnal knowledge-- of a lady this time-- on the premises."
This is the story of the other time.
The back and forth between Mav and Ice here is great - love the backstory for Ice that the author crafted, and how it plays into the icemav relationship and how they approach their relationship.
your fingerprints on my skin by @saengak
Everyone calls them soulmarks—the flush of peachy red that appears on your skin whenever your soulmate touches you. It's supposed to be romantic, how the evidence of your soulmate's little affections linger. The brush of their hand. A kiss.
"Don’t touch me," Ice had snapped in his face, just before the soulmark had painted itself on Pete’s skin.
Another soulmate AU, we are truly eating well. While it takes a while to get there, the end result is very worth it - and the banter and teasing at the end is so very good.
This One's For You! by ReapersOrchid
The other boys started to laugh, Slider almost choking on his spit in the process, while Ice just facepalmed slowly, hiding his face in his hands. "Oh, my god...."
"Are you sure that this is the one you want, Ice?" Asked Sundown and laughed. "Unfortunately.....yes."
Short and sweet and cute, love this for Ice and Mav XD
A Shared Cup by @susiecarter
It was only a training exercise.
It was only supposed to be a training exercise.
This author makes me insane I swear - this fic is so excellent, with so much ground covered in the rivals to lovers, the emotions are so thick and well earned, and the set up and worldbuilding is amazing too. Highly recommend!!
