so uh. yeah. this.
Some Top Gun characters reimagined in a world where Navy grooming regulations didn't exist

my back hurts, my head feels like a brick, is this really worth it?
Ice: Mav, I beg of you. Please, PLEASE go to the doctor
Mav: Hey, I'm sorry- Is this OUR stab wound?
What if...
there is a Topgun/Olympics crossover enemies to lovers AU in which
Mav and Goose are the US team, and Ice and Slider are on some other team. (Maybe play into the Polish Iceman headcanons and make them be on the Polish team? IDK) .
They go head to head in the finals, and things get a bit hot ;)
Mav: God won't let me die. Or get fired. Ice: I'm God.
I feel like Ice would have no moral code when it comes to Thanksgiving shopping. He would (and probably has) gotten into a fistfight with an elderly woman over the last can of pumpkin. There is nothing that will come in between Ice and the ingredients to his Babushka's recipes.
Mav does not give a single shit about thanksgiving food.
YALL @winter-rose27 WROTE A FIC ABOUT THIS.

My friend and I were talking about a scenario like this and I decided to write a little something for it. Since Cyclone looks up to Ice so much this would be hilarious to see play out đ
CYCLONE DOESNT REALIZE ICE AND MAV ARE MARRIED.
Cyclone had it up to HERE with Maverick, constantly correcting him and becoming quite irritable with his âteaching methodsâ as he called them.
Why on earth a man as revered as the legendary Iceman would request a man as reckless and untamed as Maverick to teach the top pilots in the world at TOP GUN OF ALL PLACES! For what he is sure would be one of the most dangerous, high enemy contact level mission any of these pilots would ever experience in their lives was beyond him.
âAdmiralâ Ice spoke, taking a seat across from him, Beau stood at attention as the COMPACFLT seated himself before him.
âEvening sirâ he spoke, militant as ever.
âSo to what do I owe the pleasureâ Ice waved a waitress over, grabbing a glass of his classic vodka on the rocks as Cyclone opted for a brandy.
âAbout MaverickâŚâ
The warm chuckle that spread throughout the blonde, now graying, Admirals chest stopped the three star in his tracks.
âMy apologies sir, I wasnât intending to be comicalâ
âNo Beau itâs not thatâ Ice took a gentle sip from his drink, tongue darting out to wet his lips. âItâs just that if I had a dollar for everytime one of these dinners or meetings began with âso about Maverickâ I could have retired 10 years ago and have two Mercedes in my drivewayâ
Beau looked at his hands momentarily, unsure of what to say. Soon Tom continued.
âAnyways, I digress, what did he do this timeâ
Ices softer stare met his colleagues as he took another drink, before looking down at the menu on the soft white table cloth.
âHis training methods for the Dagger squadron areâŚ.interesting to say the least, unorthodox is the better term.â
âOh? Do tellâ
âFor instance, they were supposed to be practicing formations for the bombing run yesterday and I found them playing on the beach like childrenâ
âHmâ Ice grunted softly, paying attention as the waitress came by again, interrupting them.
âGood evening sirâ she spoke with a small smile at Tom. âYour usual sir?â Tom nodded
âThank you Katherine, Beau? Care to order?â
Cyclone didnât think to hard as to why Ice knew this woman, and frequented this place often enough to have established a âusualâ. Ice was the COMPACFLT, he probably enjoyed some nicer expensive dining from time to time.
âNo green eyes tonight?â She asked, and Tom shook his head. âNo my dear, all buisness tonightâ
She frowned slightly and put her hands on her hips. âWell darn, please tell him I said hello, Iâll go put your order in gentlemen.â
âI definitely will, Thank you my dearâ Ice waved as she disappeared, rounding the corner.
Cyclone decided not to comment, first of all he and Ice were close but not so close as to ask questions about his love life. Let alone the fact that it was apparently another gentleman he often frequented this place with. Who was he to judge, since the DADT repeal and Ice becoming one of the most powerful men in the military, no one could say shit even if they had a mouthful.
âApologies for the interruption, as you were saying?â
Beau cleared his throat. âYes, sir, he completely ignored my hard deck perameters and is running these pilots through ridiculous exercises, we have less than a week to have them mission readyâŚâ
Their conversation went on for a couple more hours as they ate, and as they both stood to leave Ices hand found Cyclones shoulder.
âI know Captain Mitchell can be a hard pill to swallow sometimes, but heâs a brilliant pilot, best the Navy has to offer, Iâve flown with him for many years, and heâs done many things I may not have understood, but he was always reliable, always had his head in the game and always made sure everyone, including me, made it back home safe. Be patient with him Admiral, give him a shotâ
Cyclone huffed out in annoyance slightly, but let his shoulders fall. âYes sir, Iâll do my bestâ
âThanks Beauâ Tom spoke, dropping the formalities. âAnd thank you for the company, but Iâm a little past curfew and need to get homeâ Ice winked, Bidding him goodbye and getting in his car to head home.
âââââââââââââââââââââââââ
The next day seemed even worse, Admiral Simpson was being driven up a wall, two seconds away from punching the brunette square in the face. If not for Ices encouragement he probably would have by now.
That evening he returned to the ready room to see, SHOCKER! EVERYONE WAS GONE!
Anger rose in his throat, he knew exactly where he was going.
Throwing his truck in park in perhaps the most aggressive way he could, the man, still clad in his khakis and medals, stormed in through the swinging saloon doors of the Hard deck, seeing all of his pilots and one infuriating Pete Mitchell drinking beers and playing rounds of pool.
Laughing, smiling and joking together, if he werenât so angry he would have liked to admit that it even lookedâŚ.fun.
âCAPTAIN MITCHELL!â He shouted. As if on cue the music came to a winding stop and all heads turned to look at him.
Pete not looking worried in the slightest.
âFRONT AND CENTER! NOW!â
Handing off his beer to Bradley with a nod, sharing a quiet word with him that couldnât be made out clearly. He walked towards the angry, taller brunette. As the rest of the gang tentatively went back to playing pool, quietly, as if walking on eggshells.
âAdmiral Simpson, sirâ Maverick spoke. Smug grin on his face long gone and replaced with a tight line drawn between his lips.
âWhat in the hell is this?! We have a mission less
Than TWO WEEKS out that requires absolute focus! And before you try and brush this off as one of your bullshit âteam building exercisesâ just know Iâm going to look forward to reporting this directly to admiral Kazansky! And-â
âReporting what exactly to Admiral Kazansky?â A voice spoke, interrupting his statement, as the taller, angrier man turned to see the familiar face returning with two drinks in his hand.
Immediately straightening his posture and clearing his throat. He took in a very casually dressed Tom Kazansky.
âA-Admiral sir!â
âAt ease Admiral, so what did Maverick do this timeâ
His eyes followed the movements of the slightly taller man, coming up to stand beside Pete, handing him a beer.
As Cyclone began to go into what he saw.
âIs that so Mitchell? Little old you did all that?â Ice threw his arm around Mavericks shoulder. Seeing the smug smile return to his lips.
âI can neither confirm or deny that statementâ Maverick chuckled.
âMy apologies on behalf of my husband Admiral, it seems he wasnât aware of todays training layoutâ
Cyclones jaw may as well have been on the floor, throat tightening at a loss of words.
âH-husband sir?â
âAh!â Ice almost looked surprised.
âHow rude of me Admiral, Iâd like to formally introduce you to my husband, Pete Mitchell-Kazansky, though for work purposes everyone still knows him by Mitchell.â
Just at this time Bradley walked up behind them.
âHey dad, popsâ he squeezed both of their shoulders and looked at Admiral Simpson. âAdmiralâ
âLieutenantâ he scoffed in return. Still attempting to process all of this new information.
âWait so, at the restaurant, the waitress, green eyes is-â
âThe one and onlyâ maverick smirked, leaning up to give his husband a kiss on the cheek.
âNow Admiral, if you donât mind weâd like to get back to our game, youâre welcome to join us if youâd like.â Ice invited, gesturing his head towards the rest of the squad.
Cyclones mouth open and closed again. Unsure of what to do next.
âCmon Sir, first rounds on me, loosen up a littleâ Bradley smiled, eyes bright and hopeful. As Cyclone turned to the rest of the team, smiling at him as well.
âI guess one drink couldnât hurtâŚ.but Iâm kicking your ass at a game of pool first Bradshawâ
As the two men walked back towards the pool tables, newly acquired beers in hand and jokes being flung back and fourth. Maverick pulled ice against his side by his waist. Smiling up at him with big green eyes, clinking his beer against the taller manâs glass.
âThis is going to be funâ he smiled.
âCouldnât agree more darlingâ
