So I've seen people talk about Pete Mitchell and Ethan Hunt as twins, but what about Pete Mitchell and Daniel Kaffee as twins.

The idea of twins both in the navy, just in different divisions - aviation and legal. (Neither actually having anything to do with boats being hilarious)

It's canon that both are competing against a legacy their father left behind.

Both have an unchallengeable moral compass - they both know what is right - yet they both have a chaotic way of showing it.

They share the same charm, but also a healthy vanity towards their respective professions. They're both very good at what they do, and they know it.

I'm imagining when they were younger, Pete racing around the house model plane in tow and Danny out in the yard hitting softballs with his favourite bat.

I'm imagining them at school, where a kid is being picked on until Pete and Danny put a stop to it - Pete's ready to fist fight the bullies while Danny checks that the kid's alright.

Danny goes off to Harvard Law at the same time Pete joins the Navy's Aviation Academy. (The reason Danny joins the Navy after graduating is because Pete is there too. " l look better in the uniform." "Bullshit we both look the same.")

When Pete gets his callsign, the first person he tells is Danny via the phone. Danny finds it hilarious and amazingly fitting.

After Goose's death, Danny is there to console Pete not only as a brother but as a professional. " You're not guilty, none of this is your fault. They know it, the person who has to believe it is you."

Danny coming to Pete's graduation ceremony from Top Gun... and everyone and their aunts thinking "Christ, there's two of them."

#i literally have not been able to get this out of my head #ethan being pete's twin is good but ethan is way more put together than mav #daniel kaffee matches mavs unhinged chaotic energy perfectly #ethan would definitely have food in the house but its canon that Danny Does Not #mav also cannot look after himself that's why goose and carole are there to make sure he survives #i could write so many more headcanons but the post would be so long #pete mitchell #pete maverick mitchell #daniel kaffee #a few good men #tom cruise

Chapter 8

Realizations happen, and no one is happy about them.

Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply

Relationships: Ethan Hunt & Pete "Maverick” Mitchell, Ethan Hunt & Luther Stickell, Carole Bradshaw & Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, Tom “Iceman” Kazansky & Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, Tom “Iceman” Kazansky & Ethan Hunt, Eventual Tom “Iceman” Kazansky/Pete “Maverick” Mitchell

Additional Tags: Set during M:I1 and during Top Gun, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Canonical Character Death, (it’s Goose), Non-Consensual Drug Use, (In a typical Spy way), Angst and Hurt/Comfort, AU where Ethan and Mav are twin brothers, And boy howdy does that create a LOT of problems, we have this series planned through to Fallout and TGM so we're really excited to be writing it, Movie: Top Gun (1986), Minor Character Death

Summary: Ethan Hunt is considered at large by the American government after his actions in Prague, where the rest of his team was allegedly murdered. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell has no clue what that has to do with him, but this weird, top-secret organization seems pretty dead-set on involving him.

Or: It’s an Identical Twin AU.

WIPs, WIPs, Literally Everywhere WIPs

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs. I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? DnD campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!

i was tagged by @mvrckd to do this!! i just did one of these but now that i've seen some of the wips mav posted i'm going to redo it since we plan on co-writing some of them together! i’m working fully on the twin au at the moment but i fully intend to visit all of the below at some point!
