#Icemav nation rise up

[icemankazansky]

Oh. My god?!

[iceman-maverick]

Let's goooooooo :DDDDDD Trope: secretly magic. "I need you to shut your eyes for a second."

“I need you to shut your eyes for a second,” Ice said, hoping for casual and missing it by a mile. 

“Absolutely not,” Maverick said, arms crossed. 

Ice sighed loudly, bringing his fingers up to run through his hair quickly as he looked to the clock above the lockers. They were due in Viper’s office in a little under 15 minutes, and he was starving. Ice figured he’d be able to get in a quick feed to hold him over, if he hurried. If Maverick cooperated.

“Mav, seriously I just need a sec-” 

“Ice,” Maverick snapped, “We’ve been doing…” He waved his hand out between them, “this for months now. You don’t have to keep hiding them,” 

Ice frowned and let out a low whine - hunger tended to make him needy these days, much to Maverick’s amusement. Ice lifted his eyes to the ceiling and rested his back against the lockers, trying to will his beating heart to settle as Maverick crowded against him. 

It was a testament to Ice’s need that he didn’t even have the blood flow to blush as Maverick quickly unbuttoned his own collar and presented his neck to Ice. 

“Come on, sweetheart,” Maverick said, arms coming up to hold at Ice’s shoulders “Let me see ‘em,” 

Ice screwed his eyes shut as he let his fangs drop. 

“Fucking beautiful,” Maverick whispered.

Ice whined again, and then moved forward to latch onto the tender flesh of Maverick's neck.

The first gush of blood was always a headrush, and Ice delighted in the steady flow of Mav’s sweet blood. He groaned into Mav's neck and then dropped his hands to Mav's waist, quickly flipping them so that Mav was pushed up against the locker. The angle was better, and that way Ice could at least try to keep Mav still as he became delirious.

Try being the operative word.

Mav gasped, clutching at Ice’s shoulder, squirming against Ice's hold to get some friction on the rapidly rising tent in his khakis and mumbling a seemingly endless string of praise as Ice fed. 

Ice let go once he felt the blush begin to creep up his neck.

vampire ice nation, STAND UP! (looking at you @lightsabersandpens)

We're playing an IceMav askbox fic game. Send me a trope and a first sentence and I'll write at least one paragraph!

[icezansky]

HELLOOO! as self-proclaimed president of hollywolf nation i shall rise from the dead and ask for more info about the hollywolf WIP, please! Also, i hope you’re doing well, i have so many fic updates to catch up on.. currently planning to spam under your newest icemav works on AO3 soon :’) xxxx 🫂

for the WIP title game

Hi hi hello I’ve missed you my fellow HollyWolf Lover!!!

This one I have, unfortunately, nothing beyond an outline written for but it lives in my brain and one day I’ll sit down and unleash this ball of angst. It’s a sequel to Desperado that takes place after the dogfight in TG86 where HollyWolf get shot down and then airlifted back onto the carrier. It deals a lot with Holly’s feelings, his guilt over putting Wolf in danger (“I’m the pilot I’m supposed to protect him I put him at RISK I could’ve LOST HIM”) featuring gratuitous pacing in medbays and dramatic love confessions.

Ultimately the splashdown is the impetus for them finally getting their shit together after fucking casually for YEARS and realizing they love each other and can’t live without one another!

Thanks for the ask!! I look forward to you invading my AO3 and I hope you enjoy! 💙

[galehautstomb]

[whichcouldmeannothing]

minnie's Very Good icemav fic rec list!

icemav is such a massive ship but its hard to find fics for it :((

so here are some i liked :))

(this list isnt definitive i have not read a lot, i know there are good ones I missed pls tell me If u have any good recs!!)

fics by @boasamishipper

when i see your face (oneshot, 1k+)

In which Maverick Mitchell wakes up from surgery, high on painkillers, and hits on his husband.

sweet! very cute! maverick rly is a dumb dumb boy

Word on the Street (oneshot, 1k+)

Sharon looks down at her wedding ring and says a prayer for the handsome Navy pilot that’s heading their way. He’s got no idea what he’s in for. / Or, Iceman and Maverick versus the Real Housewives of Fallon, Nevada.

look i also know nth about housewives but this is adorable and hilarious and sometimes we need an outsider pov, est relationship btw!

baby, baby i'd get down on my knees for you (co-written with @academicgangster or simplecoffee on ao3, multi-chapter, 18k)

Or, the Wooing of Iceman Kazansky by a Very Smol Mr. Darcy

(Five times Maverick proposed to Iceman, and one time Iceman accepted.)

OH M,YGOD YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THIS FIC MAKES ME LOSE MY MIND AN DIE AND CRY AND ITS SO SWEET AND ADORABLE AND I MISS THEM SM HGBGKLDS

between the lines of fear and blame (oneshot, 1k+)

Out of all the things Maverick had expected to eventually kill him — getting caught in someone’s jetwash, being shot out of the sky, his plane’s engine exploding — getting shot by one of his students in a civilian bar didn’t even make the top ten.

He never expected Ice to take a bullet for him, either.

There's a first time for everything.

extreme whump extreme, most icemav fics hurt mav and i think mav deserves a little better. just a little. this is good also

fics by @susiecarter

and gamble for the sun (one-shot, 1k+)

It's like this: Maverick and the Iceman make bets, sometimes.

OH MY GODDD OH MY GOD THE TENSION THE IDIOTS IDIOT OT LIKE 3K ITSLOVELY AND SO SO GOOD PERFECT TENSION AND EVERYTHING (in my notes I wrote that they write rly good summaries I just wanted to tell you that)

A Shared Cup (one-shot, 7k+)

It was only a training exercise.

It was only supposed to be a training exercise.

hard 2 exp but its a soulbond au and I LOVE THOSE I LOVE THOSE I LOVE THOSE READ THIS NOW AND GO INSANE W ME

fics by @compacflt

this isnt like a thing about the fics but on ao3, the profile says commander of the pacific fleet (wouldn't that be hilarious if the actual compacflt were on ao3? national security hazard) and that's possibly the funniest thing I've read today

Easier Said Than Done (100k+, series)

"So you just wanna be the best at everything, huh?"

"Yes," Kazansky says seriously, then, confused, squints at him. "Don't you?"

"Of course not," Maverick says. "I just wanna be the bestpilot."

"Huh," says Kazansky, wondering if there's a difference betweenMaverickandMitchell. "Maybe you shoulda stayed at TOPGUN, then."

(Or: Tom Kazansky rises through the ranks while trying to stay a good man. If he ever was one to begin with.) (When We Get Around To Talking About It, 65k+)

"We can start here, I guess. If we're talking about us," Pete says. "Nineteen-eighty-six. The first thing I thought, when I saw you in that O-club, was: Iceman isoff-limits.Capital O, capital L."

Despite himself, despite the fear, Tom laughs a little. "Oh, yeah? Why's that?"

"Well, first off, we were competition. And yeah, you were attractive, but then you opened your mouth and I swear. You were just an asshole. Goose is trying to introduce you to me and here I am thinking about how much of an asshole you are. Shut up about Cougar, asshole."

"It was supposed to be a friendly competition!"

"Yeah, right. So that's what I was thinking: he's attractive, clearly doesn't know how to talk to other men, might be into the proposition if I framed it the right way. But he's an asshole, so this competition is just gonna befriendly." Pete pauses. Then he says, "Ice, you wanna get married?"

And that's how they start talking about it.

(Or: they finally get around to talking about it. And Maverick's got a couple extra memories.) (Debriefing (& Other Stories), 60k+)

look its rly long. but this whole series is wonderful. if ican ever print out one top gun fic to have and to hold irl I would buy more paper and print both of these ones. absolutely lovely and it doesn't feel long its just a good good good time and the classic icemav fic

ALSO HONOURABLE MENTION

Kings of the Air (@fabula-unica, 20k+)

Fighting and fucking: two things he did extraordinarily well. How could he have known what the effect would be when you combined the two?

ABSOLUTE HERITAGE FIC EVERY ICEMAV SHIPPER HAS TO LIVE AND BREATHE THIS FIC OH MY GODDD SO LOVELY SO SO SOS LOVELY read this fic. it has been waiting 12 years for you
