I Am In Awe At The Talent Needed To Make This

There was only one bed.

There used to be two people who shared it. The bed saw laughter and love, times of joy and happiness. But then A got sick. The bed became their safe place, as their joins ached and their skin burned. B did everything they could to help, but it wasn't enough. The bed only holds one now.

Smut fans: *gasp!!!!!*

Fluff fans: *GASP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

this makes so much sense omg

You know how ice has like, one of the the highest ranks you can get in the navy without being SECNAV by the events of TGM while maverick stayed a captain because he didn’t want to give up flying?

I bet ice felt the same in a way, but he was more attached to the plane he was flying rather than the concept of flying in general

I was doing some research and the last F-14 Tomcat was retired from service in 2006 from VF-213. Now this next bit doesn’t entirely comply with fact, but in the topgun universe VF-213 is Fist of the fleet, ice and sliders canon squadron. (In actual fact fist of the fleet is actually VF-25 but let’s ignore that)

So I hc that ice stayed at Commander (since captains oversee the general command of a ship instead of flying the missions) until the tomcat was retired, had one go on the new f/a-18 superhornet on a flight sim and upon deciding it wasn’t the same as the tomcat, he accepted a promotion to captain the same day. Also if we take into account that it usually takes 20-25 years for an officer to get promoted to captain and safely assume ice joined the navy somewhere around the late 70s early 80s, (flight school = 4years so pilots are immediately an Lt when they join the fleet and say it took ice somewhere between 3-4 years so get selected for topgun after that) it also fits the service timeline for getting promoted to captain.

And then after being promoted to captain, ice just gained promotion after promotion and ended up being promoted to COMPACFLT about 1-2 years before the events of TGM. (I hc ice was only on his first term during tgm and that since HE DOESNT DIE YALL, he would take office a second time to keep all maverick baby daggers out of trouble before becoming SECNAV after that.)

thecutefactor.tumblr.com | 815 | schweet_heart / @schweetheart

Summary: Arthur has a secret. Unfortunately, Merlin finds out.

Ozymandias | 837 | Solarcat / @solarcat

Summary: Arthur can feel his grasp on the world slipping

Three Days | 938 | Zaharya / @zaharya

Summary: Merlin is injured, Arthur is worried.

(see more recommendations below!)

i saw you and the world went away | 645 | ariadne_odair

Summary: Arthur narrows his eyes. “Are you going to complain about the cold all the way home?” Merlin shrugs. “Probably.” Arthur rolls his eyes, then reaches for the clasp at his neck. He shrugs off his cloak and drapes it around Merlin’s shoulders. “There.” Or - Merlin is cold and the world is quieter away from Camelot.

Ten Minutes | 691 | wangler

Summary: It wasn't a charity kiss.

Cornflower Heart | 700 | queerofthedagger / @queerofthedagger

Summary: “Tell me a secret,” Arthur says, the words meeting the night air softly.

the one you reached for | 700 | queerofthedagger / @queerofthedagger

Summary: “Who did this to you?” Arthur finally chokes out, because someone must have—done this to him, that is. Arthur has learnt two things in the last few months. One; Merlin is more powerful than any one human should be (but if someone has to have this power, it is right that it is Merlin; it could only ever be Merlin). Two; he is as incapable of backing down from anything as Arthur is (even if it is each other; even if it tears them apart).

Bruises | 760 | Solarcat / @solarcat

Summary: Arthur doesn't see the bruises, but he knows where they are because he put them there.

a kingdom or this | 800 | schweet_heart / @schweetheart

Summary: They take him from his cell just after dawn, when a pale streak of pink is barely visible above the eastern gate.

Sleeping beauty | 940 | Fleetling / @fleet-of-words

Summary: Gwaine grew up knowing knights and other people of war, and so he's a little surprised at how deeply the Prince of Camelot sleeps. That is, when Merlin is around. The rest of the time, he's basically an insomniac.

Epistemology | 840 | Solarcat / @solarcat

Summary: Arthur knows, and Merlin knows he knows, and Arthur knows that Merlin knows that he knows.

The Sacrifice | 849 | Malu_3 (Grainne) / @penaltykeks

Summary: Fifty-six days since the Sidhe broke through the last of the old seals and declared war on Great Britain. Fifty-five days since Arthur's return from Avalon. Thirty-five days since the start of Arthur's personal sexual revolution… In which Kil is still a meddling so-and-so but, when it comes to wartime sacrifices, Merlin will take a debauched pop culture icon over a dead friend in any lifetime.

the unhidden heart | 965 | schweet_heart / @schweetheart

Summary: “What?” he asks, belligerent. Merlin doesn’t flinch. “You saw.” “I see a lot of things.” He doesn’t know why he can’t just come out and say it. I saw you using magic. I know you saved my life. Or maybe he does: saying the words out loud would mean he has to do something about them, like confirm that the truth exists outside of this liminal space. “More than you give me credit for, apparently.”

You Are Here | 747 | Malu_3 (Grainne) / @penaltykeks

Summary: How might we improve your experience? Let me blow you in Rainforests of the World.

The one with the Magic Wand | 748 | marguerite_26 / @marguerite26

Summary: “Oh shit.” Panic curls down Merlin’s spine, sweat pooling at his lower back. He tugs again and feels the sting of the hard plastic slipping deeper. “Fuck.”

I Will Dream My Dream Of You | 749 | samyazaz / @samyazaz

Summary: Written for Week 4 of Summerpornathon 2013

The one with werewolf!Merlin | 749 | marguerite_26 / @marguerite26

Summary: He finds the human in a clearing, his blond hair shimmering in the moonlight. Merlin steps cautiously forward. He sees no weapons, smells no other humans, but he’s been tricked before.

One of the Impossible Places | 750 | glim

Summary: Arthur always knows, though he tries to forget; awareness creeps at the edge of his thoughts, ripples between his senses, whispers to him that only his mind could hold so many impossible people and places.

Don’t tap the glass | 753 | marguerite_26 / @marguerite26

Summary: Written for summerpornathon Round 1. (NWS) Image Prompt

Cold | 754 | elirwen / @elirwen

Summary: It’s snowing when he finds him, the chill of winter biting even through his coat. Kneeling in a puddle of half-melted snow, his hands and ankles tied to a stake, he looks up at Arthur defiantly, even though he’s swaying with exhaustion, his whole body shaking. “Here to finish the job?” he asks, coughing. If it wasn’t for the rope around his wrists he’d fall to the cold ground.

A Nose in Need | 755 | Malu_3 (Grainne) / @penaltykeks

Summary: Six weeks back and Arthur feels he's coping admirably. And yet… This world, it smells all wrong.

not enough | 826 | withlightning / @existenceisthis

Summary: They’re on number four and Merlin can’t get enough of Arthur’s orgasms.

Status Quo | 848 | samyazaz / @samyazaz

Summary: It's easy, holding himself back. Arthur's the guy who's got a new girl on his arm every other week, the sort of guy who groans and covers his eyes and objects loudly should he be witness to even the briefest glimpse of male nudity in a TV show or movie. It makes it easy for Merlin, knowing he's straight, knowing there's no chance.

comprehensively, unequivocally (absolutely everything) | 863 | withlightning / @existenceisthis

Summary: Watching Merlin's body taking him in again and again, greedily, is one of Arthur's favorite views; his cock glistening with come and oil, dragging the slick out and pushing it back in with every stroke. I made this, Arthur thinks, this is mine, and then, the loudest thought of all, he's mine.

(our love is) a hundred pitchers of honey | 935 | schweet_heart / @schweetheart

Summary: Egypt, 1920. It's too hot to work, so Merlin and Arthur find other ways to occupy themselves instead. Meanwhile, the desert waits.

love, like the edge of a blade | 958 | schweet_heart / @schweetheart

Summary: He could easily kill Merlin like this, yet Merlin knows, knows that he won’t, and that certainty is enough to let him tilt his head, baring his throat to the knife.

See | 986 | wangler

Summary: Arthur is obsessed with Merlin's body, and whether it bears marks from his encounters at the sex club.

Amok Time | 998 | Leandra

Summary: Arthur notices that his roommate and secret crush is acting irritable, quickly angered and irrational. All of these are emotions that could be attributed to the stress of the approaching mid-term exams - if Merlin weren't Vulcan.

my kinds of madness | 998 | schweet_heart / @schweetheart

Summary: Star Trek crossover/fusion. Merlin has a secret. (Un)fortunately, Arthur is about to find out what it is.
