Top gun 50s/early 60s AU but it's also a boarding school AU.

There's a separate boys and girls school but they kind of interlink, they do dances together and stuff so think like the two schools in Heartstopper and how they're close by and do social stuff together

Carole is a scholarship student, she's a bookworm who has those big glasses and a gap toothed smile. Her roommate is Penny, a nepotism baby with a dad who got offered the role of an Admiral after his excellence as a Captain in The War, she's very sporty and more butch, or as much as she can be in the late 50s/early 60s, as she has 4 brothers.

Carole's friends with the other scholarship kid, Charlotte Blackwood, who's detemined to make it into college even if her parents really don't think that's a woman's place. She's got a weekend job in town and saves all her money up for fancy clothes, bright red lipstick, satin dresses with fur trims and does her hair like Marilyn Monroe. Her roommate is one, Elizabeth Corday, a british student who just wants to be a surgeon like her dad

In the boy's school we have Nick Bradshaw and his cousin, Mark Greene, both kids with dad's in the military. Goose is called that for how he sneaked a goose into the girls dorms during a prank war.

He's best friends with Pete Mitchell, sent to the school by an aunt who just wants him out of the way like everyone. Last year he dormed with goose but this year, let's say their junior year so 16-17, he's been paired with Tom Kazansky, determined to be an Admiral just like his dad.

But Goose realises he not only likes rock and roll, learning to play a lot of songs on the piano much to the teacher's dismay, but also boys. One boy in particular, the Captain of the Football team, Ron Kerner

Ron's a scholarship kid too, he's serious about getting out of his shitty life any way possible and does not have time for dating

Goose goes to the school library with his friend Carole, and finds out that she has a crush on her roommate Penny and, to make it even more taboo for them, her friend Charlie as well

And when his cousin Mark makes the assumption that he's dating her, he gets the brilliant idea to fake their relationship, try to set up their crushes with each other, Charlie with Pete and Penny and Ron, secretly date them behind the scenes, using their double dates as a cover up to go off with their crushes

The only problem is, they have to do this without outing themselves and maybe getting themselves kicked out to conversion therapy *sad 50s noises*

And to add another layer, Penny and Charlie don't even like each other because they're fighting over Pete

Charlie dated him last year, as a cover up and in the poor hope that it will get rid of her outrageous crush on Carole, but showed up after the summer to see him sharing spit with Penny

So they hate each other

But both love Carole

And Carole loves both of them

:(

When hanging out on the weekend, Penny and Carole find themselves alone, one thing leads to another and they end up kissing

Carole still loves Charlie too, and Penny's not giving up her cover with Pete now

At a school dance, Goose, sad that he's still not got closer to Ron, offers her a solution, set Charlie up with Ron, two career focused people who both have an image to up keep

Cue typical rom-com shenanigans, also featuring Carole and Penny cuddling for warmth in winter, Goose watching Ron train and going fully red when he walks over and smiles, all covered in sweat

Eventually, Goose kisses Ron, he teaches him a bit of piano and tries to show him that he can still have his golden future and have fun at the same time

Also Icemav get together in the background

Eventually we get a grease like situation in terms of friendship, but charenrole, sloose and icemav together secretly

Also Mark and Elizabeth get together too, but that's really in the background, just got to sprinkle in my love for ER wherever I can lol

Hello!

This is an introduction post for the blog. If anyone saw, I (@bearsinpotatosacks ) did a poll on my blog about who would be interested in an event like this and specifically about what. After getting an idea about what people are interested in, I started to plan this event.

This event is to celebrate the women of Top Gun, from Phoenix all the way down to Amelia, and the wonderful wlw relationships they're in, like halix, charole and the like. It's not surprising that a franchise like Top Gun, which is all about macho men saving the day and flying planes yeah (!), leaves its women behind. I'm not doing this to be angry at anything or anyone, I love Top Gun and the planes and the macho volleyball scene that's so macho it's not macho, I just to highlight the things more overlooked things I love about Top Gun too.

I'll update with the schedule and dates soon, I just wanted to introduce myself and what this will be about.

Thank you for reading and I hope you're as excited as I am!

Yes! Carole gets smooches from Charlie!

anyone else think charlie did like maverick for a little while but when she met his other partners (i.e. goose and carole) (in this situation, that is. he’s not only dating them) she realized she’s a lesbian and she dated carole (while carole was still with goose and maverick) and they lived happily ever after

[finnbin]

What an adorable couple! I sure hope nothing bad happens to them!

Sorry for being so absent lately (mostly on Ao3, but still), but holidays are overwhelming for me.

Been cooking a lot, spending a lot of money that I will regret later... you know how it is.

Hopefully I'll be back on track very very soon with a couple of updates on my fics.

Happy holidays, and merry Christmas if you celebrate!! ♥️

(That’s if anyone is at all lol. Who would've thought that a film franchise about the navy would've had enough female characters to count on one hand? (/s))

Deciding that Carole and Charlie should kiss. Goose dies or he lives but he and Carole divorce (because of a wider plot where he wins top gun, becomes an instructor but falls for Slider and either cheats on her or just divorces her because he doesn't love her).

She ends up taking up a job in the Library of Congress in DC, because she wants a new start but also because there's good benefits. Charlie bumps into her one day while at work and they reconnect. They become friends, go for coffee and Charlie shows her the sights.

One thing leads to another, however, Carole finds out why Charlie left Maverick behind after Goose’s accident, she realised she’s a lesbian. Carole jokes that Mav turned her off men and reveals to her how her marriage fell apart. They make a pact "fuck navy men, but not literally" and end up kissing.

They take it slow, Carole’s never dated a woman before and has a little bit of apprehension because she’s heavily Christian. Goose picks Bradley up with Slider, Mav and Ice for scout camp and is surprised to see Charlie saying goodbye and telling Bradley they'll get him a souvenir from France. Carole’s almost showing Charlie off, like she’s trying to show him she can run off with someone they both know as well. Charlie just stares daggers at him while Goose puts the pieces that Carole’s new thing is Charlie Blackwood and not some guy named Charlie. He's also surprised that his jealousy over someone else getting to raise his kid doesn't go away

Things work out well for them. Charlie starts smiling at work more, Carole mentions Charlie to the other parents but never says "she" or "her" so everyone assumes it's a guy until a friend drops Bradley off from a sleepover, gets invited in for coffee and sees the now infamous Charlie in Carole’s robe.

News spreads, Carole brings Charlie to a bbq after the end of the kids' little league season and educate a lot of the people there about lesbianism, and how Carole is bisexual, not a lesbian.

When Bradley’s arranging a birthday sleepover however, and this is when Carole and Charlie have moved in together, one of the kid's isn't allowed to come. Charlie finds this out when picking Bradley up in her porsche, she also finds out that the reason why is because they don't want him being brainwashed. She confronts the mum, being all nice in that corporate "I hate you but I can't say it" way until the mum caves from being confronted and lets the kid go.

Charlie goes on a conference to China for a while and thinks of her girl the whole time. She even brings her back a fancy robe
