Hi TG Fandom!
I love thinking about an AU where: Pete Mitchell is eight years old and used to being bounced around from foster home to orphanage to group home to foster home. An eight-year-old Pete who is scrappy and world-savvy and angry, just imagine a Maverick before he's Maverick — all that Maverick-ness balled up in this pint-sized Pillsbury biscuit can of whoop-ass. He runs the show wherever he goes with his loud mouth and sense of righteous fury.
But then there's this new boy at the group home, this chubby nine-year-old blond boy with broken glasses held together with duct-tape and a big sweater with patches that covers his hands and half his face. He doesn't talk and spends most of the day hiding in his bed or reading an old Chemistry textbook that he brought from wherever he came from. Pete doesn't get him, thinks he's weird and the fact that the boy always looks so scared makes his tummy feel squirmy.
So, he starts to sit next to Blondie, shares his food — basically the only thing of value he has, and starts talking, and talking, and talking and talking if only to fill up all the space that Blondie doesn't with his own words. Eventually, Blondie starts scooting closer to Pete, leans against him and starts to talk in a small whisper that only Pete can hear.
Blondie’s name is Tommy.
They grow up together in that group home, they bond to each other in a way they've never bonded to anyone else. They make plans to get out and join the Navy together one day, to fly; and they promise to never be apart or alone again.
Then Tommy gets adopted.
Pete cries; Tommy screams. They might be teenagers now but it takes three men to get them to pry their hands off of each other. Tommy gets carried down the hallway howling, hands outstretched, yelling louder than Pete’s ever heard him speak before. Suddenly, the world is meaner and colder than it has ever been before and all he has left of his Blondie is that same scuffed up Chemistry textbook and a pair of broken glasses.
Pete runs away that night, glasses in his pocket and that heavy book stuffed into his backpack, but he never finds Tommy again… he finds Nicky Bradshaw instead.
He starts to move on from the hope of ever seeing Tommy again… until Top Gun and Animal Night at the O Club, when Pete catches sight of the first boy he’s ever loved, hiding with shades on and a vodka glass in his hand, instead of a patchy sweater and a Chemistry textbook.
Pete’s still a pint-sized Pillsbury biscuit can of whoop-ass and the world has changed them both into new people…
But when Iceman comes at him with bravado and snapping teeth, stinking of the alcohol that used to scare him when he was Tommy, regaling Maverick with tales of a father who loved a bottle more than him…
Pete reaches up to slip a little boy’s pair of broken glasses onto the blond’s face with a gentle, “Hi, Blondie.”
And Iceman crumbles away, leaving a crying Tommy in his place.
“Pete.”
He still says it the same way, like he's saying home.

The only thing is. I never planned on being casual. I went into this fully ready to commit my life and my sanity to the planes and the gays.
"my art isnt the best" my ass. this is AMAZING and i'm obsessed
So. Because of my dumb autistic brain, I am unable to think about anything, not top gun related, for longer than an hour tops... so as I was babysitting my niece, I thought... "Hmm, icemav would be such good girldads material." And so. I present to you Nikoletta Mitchell-Kazanska(Polish ice headcanon is not going to leave me alone so yeah) who was adopted at 7 months old by her amazing new navy dads and is a little shit most of the time. She has one of those kid-obsessions where they really like one thing and one thing only for some time and will talk your ears off about fish. (Please, please, please keep in mind these are doodles i made in class, and i just wanted to share them to maybe make someone smile, I know my art is not good, im trying my best. Please be kind)((edit: i was waiting for someone to find the little easter eggs on the fridge but well... nobody did so im adding a close-up))
oh my fucking gods i want this on my wall
And Mav always runs cold. aaughhhhhhh i love hot/cold dynamics
Iceman who despite his callsign is very warm. Human heater Tom Kazansky send tweet
Anyway here's just an idea i had about the dagger ducklings and mavdad/Icepops. I feel like Ice prefers Christmas Eve to Christmas day. (I really really like the idea of Ice being Jewish and celebrating both Hanukkah and Christmas). Christmas Eve is when all of the ducklings (And flyboys) come over for a Christmas eve dinner. Ice cooks (obviously), and Mav gets in the way (again, obviously), and nobody would have it any other way. They always watch Charlie Brown Christmas, and Mav keeps trying to get them to watch Die Hard (because "Iceeeee it takes place during Christmas how is it not a Christmas movie). This has been a years-long debate in the Mitchell-Kazansky House. (For the record, Mav, Bradley, Pheonix, Fanboy, and Omaha are staunchly on the side arguing that is it, Everyone else does not agree).
They also exchange presents, because not all of the daggers will stay for Christmas day. (Mav gives the most elaborate presents)
i love themmmmmm
The first time Ice's realise they are in love is during their deployment in Italy. It's only for three months, but after a week, Mav discovers a little bakery not far from the base and he gets there when he can to buy a loaf or two.
The realisations come because, on Sunday morning, they are making lunch, and Mav scraps away the excessive flour from the top of bread like it's a normal thing to, something he's doing for years even if it's the first time Ice's noticed.
(Tom said something about too much flour on bread once, seven years ago. He doesn't remember what was the occasion.)
After that, he can't stop noticing all the little things Mav does for him, even if Ice barely mentioned something.
So, while Mav is getting ready for the day, weeks after, Ice can't help but say it.
"Hey, Mav?" He asks, putting down his cup of coffee "I'm in love with you."
Mav smiles. Ice can't say he's ever seen something, or someone, as beautiful as his boyfriend in that moment.
"I love you too."
Tis my day of birth, so in honor of that, here are top gun characters and their birthdays.
Mav: Expects people to forget, but always ends up surrounded by all his family and friends. (The daggers especially love surprising him at work)
Ice: Often has to work through his birthday, so mav always wakes him up nicely ( if you know what i mean ;) ) and has a (takeout) fancy dinner prepared when he gets home.
Goose: fucking LOVES birthdays. absolutely has the biggest backyard barbecue every year, complete with a homeade cake that carole makes for him.
