[babygirllinds]

if you haven't already, you should do some spicy icemav hcs.

love your stuff!

I’d be honored to drop some HCs 🫡 I think I’ve only ever done HCs for Slimav so I’m happy to provide… and spicy? all the better 👀 also thank you so much for sending this!!!!

warning: smut ahead 👀 I definitely went overboard, but I hope you guys enjoy 🫠

The first time Ice and Maverick have sex is after the Layton mission.

Ice fell first that day in the bar. It was meant to be an intimidation tactic, but he got close enough to look into Maverick’s eyes and to smell his cologne and it was all over for him. Maverick was dangerous, but probably more so on the ground than in the sky. Maverick had feelings but didn’t acknowledge them because Ice was a dick, okay? It wasn’t until the mission and they claimed each other as wingmen that Maverick really let himself think about the possibility. Spoiler: Maverick fell harder

I think the adrenaline of the mission finally pulled them together. Especially after finding themselves alone together. Maverick kisses him first and immediately apologizes before Ice is pulling him back in and deepening it

They both jerk each other off in a frenzy with Ice’s other hand over Maverick’s mouth to muffle his moans. He’s bites Maverick’s shoulder hard enough to draw blood when he cums and Maverick nearly blacks out when Ice ghosts a finger over his hole

Ice and Maverick are absolutely gone for each other, as everyone can agree. There’s not a place that they haven’t had sex. Including a public place. They just really can’t keep their hands to themselves.

The car? Definitely fogged up some windows in their youth

Locker room? Ice definitely pushed Maverick to his knees just to watch as the water poured over him with his mouth full

Ice’s office? Let’s just say that his assistant knows when to tell people firmly that her boss is busy and not to bother him (Maverick brings her flowers in apology each time he visits)

Penny has 100% chased them out of the hard deck bathroom at some point and she definitely doesn’t let Mav live it down

Maverick is a brat through and through. The first time Ice let himself think of him in a sexual way, he imagined getting him to shut up with a firm hand in his hair and his mouth full of Ice’s cock

Mav knows he’s a brat too and he knows it gets Ice going to take charge. The man aimed to be admiral since the beginning of his career so taking charge of Mav is like practice in a way

Mav will do something that has everyone exasperated and Ice will gladly take him home and spank his ass raw

Ice also worries about him doing something potentially dangerous and winding up dead and most of his anger is how scared he is to lose Mav so no matter how harsh the punishment is, Ice is always pulling him into his arms and kissing his tears away and telling him how much he loves him

Leading into this one, they 100% have a dom/sun type of relationship in my eyes. Maverick craves attention and that’s why he acts out. Ice craves to be in charge and to take care of someone.

They don’t let the dynamic rule their lives, but Ice is always there to be a guiding and firm hand in Maverick’s life. He always is looking out for him and making sure he stays on the right path

Ice will sometimes lay out a scene especially when he knows Maverick needs it. Let’s say Maverick’s adhd and anxiety (which that man 100% has both) has him crawling in his skin and Ice can’t take the way Maverick will let himself fester so Ice takes it into his own hands to have Maverick relax and let go and just let Ice do what he needs to do

Maverick is content to do whatever Ice asks when he’s under. Be it multiple orgasms or orgasm delay until he’s shaking and crying and Ice finally takes pity on him and fucks him

Maverick is a total pillow princess sometimes.

He likes to lay back while Ice just takes what he wants

Sometimes Ice will tie him up and just play with him for hours and Maverick is content to just lay there and let him

He’ll beg for it on days he feels horny, but too sleepy to put in the effort

Now on the other hand… Maverick also likes to actively take part in sex.

He loves the feeling of riding Ice while Ice just lays back. He won’t touch him, just lets Maverick take his fill, sometimes with hands on his hips and guiding his movements

Especially when Ice goes through chemo and is healing and too tired to keep up with him. Ice just wants him to be satisfied and is willing to let Maverick take active charge as he fucks himself on Ice’s cock

As much as Maverick loves missionary sex where he can stare into Ice’s eyes, he loves most every position. He wants to be with Ice anyway he can.

Let’s just say reverse cowgirl is his favorite. Especially when Ice is able to get a firm grip in his hair

Ice’s favorite position is the mating press… he feels the closest to Mav when he presses his legs almost to his shoulders and their chests and stomachs are touching and his face is close enough to kiss him

I’m sorry, but I need to speak my truth. Mav is a bottom except…

Except on the occasion Ice asks him to fuck him. He can’t say no to Ice and it’s not like he doesn’t like it. He loves being inside Ice. He just likes it better when Ice is inside him. Ice does too, but sometimes he just wants to feel Mav in a different way

Ice will usually take control of the situation, riding Mav until they’re both coming undone. He’ll fuck himself on Mav’s soft cock after Mav already came, chasing his own pleasure and then he’ll cum all over Mav’s stomach and chest (he rubs his cum over Mav’s treasure trail and then over his already sensitive nipples, marking him)

Also like earlier, when going through chemo, sometimes he isn’t able to get hard and he’ll encourage Mav to just fuck him. This is when they usually take it slow and Ice’s legs are over Maverick’s thighs as Mav thrusts slowly into Ice, still playing with Ice’s soft cock and kissing Ice all over his face and chest to show him how much he loves him

Let’s take about marking… because both of these bastards are jealous and possessive and we love to see it.

Ice is a biter. Let’s rewind to the locker room in Top Gun 1986. That chomp is all the proof you need

Mav comes out of their bedroom looking like he was gnawed on. There’s bites and fresh bruises over his chest, thighs, hips, ass, and shoulders. Never his throat (unless they’re on leave and there’s time for the bites to heal before Maverick goes back to work)

Ice also loves rubbing his cum into Maverick’s skin. It’s more a subtle marking because it’s not like anyone will see or know. But it settles Ice’s nerves being able to mark his lover with something so lewd

Maverick loves to dole out hickies. He’s sucking on any part of skin he can reach and often gets carried away with leaving them all over Ice’s neck and jaw. Ice has never been more thankful for his excuse to wear scarves after his throat surgery because Maverick is able to leave them without fear of either of them getting in trouble for unprofessionalism

Maverick also prides himself on the scratches and dried out scabs in shapes of crescents along Ice’s biceps or back after Ice fucked him silly enough that he just dug his nails into his skin. It thrills him when Ice will forgo his shirt while working out and someone immediately takes notice of the marks

Let’s talk about kinks…

Ice loves Mav the way he is, but he also gets such a thrill out of feminizing him. He loves calling Mav his wife or buying him lacy lingerie. Maverick also moans like a whore anytime Ice calls his ass his [tight and hot] cunt or his chest his [pretty lil’] tits

Maverick definitely has daddy issues or an authority figure kink. He grew up without his father and was consistently in his shadow. Sometimes when he’s far under, he’ll call Ice daddy and Ice goes crazy for it. He loves being seen as safe enough that Mav feels comfortable enough to say it. Mav also loves playing up the whole Lt. and Adm. thing in bed. When Ice finally became admiral, the sex is 10x hotter as Maverick clenches down around his cock and says something along the lines of, “show me who’s in charge, Admiral.”

Also let’s face it as well. Ice loves being called daddy, okay? He has daddy issues himself. His dad was a dick and constantly berated him. Ice took those feelings and put them to wanting to take care of the people he loves. He wants to be better than his father and show the people he loves he cares and he’s someone safe to lean on. So he won’t really say it, but every time Maverick utters the word ‘daddy’, Ice is ready to risk the god damn world for him

Let’s talk oral sex…

Maverick is a whore for blowjobs. He wants to blow Ice any chance he can. He likes to deep throat him and he also likes when Ice fucks his face. He loves how raw his throat feels afterwards and welcomes the sting

Ice is precise with his blowjobs. He takes his time until Maverick is shaking and begging to cum. He usually will finger Mav at the same time to bring him that little extra pleasure. He’ll make a show out of it too. He’ll suction his mouth over the tip like he’s trying to suck Maverick’s cum out of him like a straw

Ice also loves to rim Mav. Mav at first was like ??? No thanks. But then Ice took his time and licked him open with precision until Maverick cried from how good it felt. Maverick practically asks for it consistently now and Ice is happy to oblige

I probably have so much more, but my brain isn’t conjuring all of them up at the moment lmao. I hope everyone enjoys these though <3

Idea

After the mission, Jake apologizes to Mav and Bradley about bringing up the Goose incident, and explains that he was just trying to get Bradley to fly faster and better in a fucked up way. They both forgive him, and Bradley thinks maybe now they can both be good wingmen to each other.

However, that's not the case. Although Jake still hangs around the Dagger Squad and gets closer to them, he's hesitant around Bradley. Not enough for most people to notice, he's still a sarcastic asshole, but he's wary around Bradley and Bradley doesn't know why.

Jake is actually still hurt about the time at the Hard Deck when Bradley told him, "Hangman, the only place you'll lead anyone is an empty grave." Bradshaw brought up one of his greatest losses when he was just joking around. It hurt. He knew that the proper thing to do is talk about it, but instead he just keeps Bradshaw at a distance and watches him to make sure that the other man won't randomly lose his temper. He's only accepted in the Dagger Squad because he saved Rooster and Mav's lives, he won't fuck that up by accusing Rooster of being an ass about something that happened months ago. Rooster probably didn't even remember.

He was right, Rooster didn’t remember. Just that they were making jabs at each other.

Rooster is talking to Mav and Ice about Hangman being distant and Mav just tells him to give Hangman time to get used to having a team.

Ice starts hanging around the Top Gun base more, and eventually starts building rapport with the Dagger Squad. Especially Lieutenant Jake "Hangman" Seresin who seems to really look up at him. However, unlike others who do, Seresin can actually hold a conversation and doesn't just hang on his every word and treat him like some kind of god. Ice likes the kid.

(Ice thinks the Dagger Squad knows about his marriage with Mav and how he raised Bradley. Dagger Squad does not know.)

Eventually, Ice asks about his relationship with Rooster and Jake spills the whole thing about what Bradley said, and the lost of his former wingman. Ice is livid. He confronts Rooster about it, and tells Bradley to apologize and to better watch his temper.

When Bradley does, Jake asks how he knows about that stuff. Bradley said Ice did and how his uncle is always trying to make sure wingmen stick together.

Instead of being comforted about this, Jake feels betrayed. Betrayed that sometimes he told Ice in confidence was just out and about now and becomes upset about it and walks away. He feels stupid for not realizing that IceMav was a thing and that Bradley was their pseudo-son, and thinks that Ice just wanted to get close to him, so that Dagger Squad would stay together.

Jake starts distancing himself from Ice and starts withdrawing from the team.

Everything eventually gets straightened out with some intervention from Mav, Javy, and the rest of the Dagger Squad. Mav by telling Jake that Ice just likes to fix things, and accidentally oversteps. Javy by threatening Bradley to never ever say shit like that to Jake again. Ice then apologizes to Jake and tells him he just found Bradley's behavior unacceptable and didn't mean to overstep. Jake accepts the apology and they both start bonding again.

Bradley and Jake start becoming true wingmen not only in the air, but also on the ground.

Happy ending, Dagger Squad + IceMav all vibing together.

YESSSSS TY

heyyyy so in response to your post about an olympics icemav au... i'm having crazy brainworms about an idea & i need to tell someone before i explode. Steve Nedoroscik on the u.s. men's gymnastics team gives me the same vibes as Bob, so i'm imagining an olympics au wherein IceMav run the men's gymnastics program as coaches, and the daggers are on the teams. Ice & Mav back in the day dominated in gymnastics & so really just competed against each other each time. now they are bickering husbands helping run a killer program (& have their pommelhorse secret weapon Bob). Cyclone, Warlock, & Hondo coach with them, with Penny head doctor. Phoenix, Halo, & Amelia from the women's team pester the boys all the time. IceMav take Payback, Fanboy, Hangman, Rooster & Bob to the olympics & medal! so. yeah that's the idea. this isn't really a request, i just needed to tell someone & your asks are open 😭 but you can use any of this if you want

ok your mind is INSANE bc this picture is so vivid from just your one paragraph. like it all matches up so perfectly i’m so glad you put this idea into the world 🤭🙂‍↕️

i don’t want to take over your idea, but here are a few hc’s that i picture for this scenario bc as soon as i read this my brain went oh wow:

icemav’s background:

- ice is the eldest son of immigrants from the ussr, and his father pushes him everyday to be the best gymnast he can be. he trains daily, only enters the best training gyms, and works under some of the best coaches money can afford.

- ice is 17 when the 1976 olympics roll around, and everyone expects he’s going to dominate on the international stage. what they don’t expect, however, is for tom to announce at family dinner that he’s chosen to represent the united states at the games rather than his parent’s beloved ussr.

- after the shockwave announcement, ice’s dad doesn’t speak to him for weeks, and he spends countless nights second guessing his decision. sure, he understands why his parents are upset, but they literally immigrated to this country so he could be american. this is his home, it’s the place that’s made him, and he wouldn’t want to compete for any other country.

- it’s not until after the games, when he has 3 gold medals around his neck and a hand to hold tightly in his own, that he knows for certain he made the right choice.

- mav, in contrast, has a complete underdog story. it’s almost storybook: growing up without a father, scrapping his way in shitty gyms and abusive coaches, coming out the other side as the best damn gymnast anyone west of the mississippi had ever seen. when he makes the 76 olympic team, he’s cocky and brash and is absolutely not ready for the unmovable force that is tom kazansky to enter his life.

- at first ice and mav don’t get along - ice is too focused on the competition and mav is too focused on trying to outperform ice. the tension grows for a few weeks after they both qualify for the team. it all changes when goose falls from the high bar in practice and breaks his wrist. with their best teammate out, the boys have to come together to do their best and keep up team morale.

- of course they both do amazing and walk away champions!!!! i’m imagining team gold, all-around ice gold and mav silver, ice high bar gold, mav pommel horse gold. they start a new era for men’s gymnastics, absolutely dominating the competition and looking cool as fuck doing it. little boys sign up for gymnastics classes because they wanna be like maverick, and ice’s wheaties box takes up space on kitchen tables all around america.

the team now:

- ice doesn’t have any noticeable accent in his day-to-day life, but sometimes he starts to speak in russian when he’s nervous or pissed off. hence the murmured repetitions of xуй and Пиздец when hangman gets a little too sassy or bob clips his hand and falls off the horse.

- the daggers complain a lot about mav’s strict training routines and insanely high expectations, and one day mav can’t take anymore. without a word, he takes his whistle off, slips out of his shoes, and proceeds to perform an almost perfect pommel horse routine. the boys stand in awe as he swings around, his body in complete control despite it being 30+ years since he’s competed professionally. when it’s over the daggers start apologizing profusely, and ice just laughs and rolls his eyes at the absolute mad man he’s been in love with since he was 17.

- obviously there has to be some angst regarding bradley’s entry into the sport and the legacy he feels he carries on his shoulders. like yeah, he’s not a nepo baby, but he’s also not not a nepo baby. i mean, the two head coaches of the men’s olympic team are his godparents, for god sake. maybe mav tries to keep him out, thinking of goose’s lost dreams and all of their long term injuries. maybe he pushes him to do something else with his life, constantly saying things like maybe you could be a pilot or something, baby goose. of course, it doesn’t work. in the end, mav cries as bradley steps up on the olympic podium with the medal around his neck, thinking not for the first time how lucky he was to have met nick bradshaw all those years ago.

- penny being a social butterfly outside the gym but taking absolutely no shit as soon as she steps onto the floor. she has no problem asking the hard questions, and will not hesitate to defend an athlete with her life. she helps lead the movement to include mental health as part of the wellness checks for athletes, and doesn’t respond kindly to anyone who blows off her recommendations. everyone is slightly scared of her, but she’s only stern because she loves the athletes to death.

- amelia is known for always checking in on everyone and makes sure both the men’s and women’s teams are feeling their best physically and mentally bc of her mom’s occupation. she’s always willing to listen or offer up advice for those who need it. she’s definitely the little sister of the group and they’re all unbelievably protective of her and her huge heart.

- jake gives bob a lot of shit when they first meet because he doesn’t look anything like a gymnast. he’s got these huge glasses and he’s super lean and jake can’t help but tease him for it. it all changes when he finally sees bob on the horse, though, moving with more grace than he’s seen anyone move before. by the time the olympics roll around, jake is his biggest supporter, cheering so loud from the side that even the people in the rafters can hear him.

i don’t really know anything about gymnastics, so don’t hate me if things are incorrect/inaccurate. thanks again for sharing this idea. hope y’all enjoyed and thanks for reading!!!

[babygirllinds]

slimav headcannons? i love the babygirl and himbo combo and we truly need more of them 🧸💞 <3<3

omg, hi!!! I’m truly an Icemav girly, but how could you not love Slimav? The size difference alone makes me go feral 🫠 so onto babygirl and himbo HCs!

Mav is truly babygirl in the relationship as everyone says. He’s just so small and cute and Slider wants to do everything he can to protect him. Enter guard dog/himbo boyfriend Sli. He is perfectly fine just letting Mav be a reckless lil shit while he goes and enables him, but is willing to throw down with anyone to get Mav out of trouble.

In Slider’s eyes, Mav can do no wrong.

Slider originally thought Mav was very attractive when they first met, but he saw how Mav affected Ice and immediately backed off. He didn’t want to pursue anything if that meant his best friend was going to give him shit the whole time. So he just sat back and let the rivalry fuel a nice banter between the two.

Which he ended up enjoying tremendously. He liked the way Mav could snap back with equally good comebacks and quips. It keeps them both on their toes and gives them something to look forward to.

After the Layton mission, Slider couldn’t hold back his feelings anymore — hence the way he picks him up like a rag doll and shakes him around after Ice declares them wingmen.

The way Mav is so light (despite being all muscle) in his arms makes the feral part of his brain react. He likes that Mav is small. He just wants to wrap him up and take him away from everything that brings him pain.

When they get together, Mav starts to find out how much of a teddy bear Slider is. He’s warm and constantly has to be touching Mav, which Mav enjoys because he is immensely touch-starved. Slider is also so soft when it’s just them; whispering the sweetest things and caressing Mav’s face while holding eye-contact.

The way Slider’s voice gets all soft has Maverick melting and he’s always finding a way to nudge himself into Slider’s arms and get him talking.

Despite Slider being all sweet with Mav in private, he has to maintain his alpha-male status so he acts all cool and smug in public. He’ll still throw an arm around Mav’s shoulders and pull him close, but instead of cute words being whispered in Mav’s ear, they’re bickering back and forth about something one of the guys brought up.

It never starts an actual fight between them and instead leaves them with built-up passion/aggression for when they get home and into bed 👀

Mav likes to cook for Slider and Slider always appreciates it. He always does the dishes afterwards to make up for the effort Mav took.

When Mav puts a plate in front of him, Slider always says, “This looks amazing babygirl. My own little housewife.” And Mav always blushes bright red because he’s not a girl and he’s not his wife, but the way Slider says it lights a fire in him.

Mav is the little spoon in the relationship, but sometimes Slider just needs to be held in turn and he’ll lay his head on Mav’s chest and blanket his body with his own. He likes the steady rhythm of Mav’s heartbeat because it reminds him that they’re there and safe while Mav scratches whatever part of Slider’s back he can reach and plays with his hair.

Mav actually really enjoys this position because Slider is a nice and comforting weight on his chest and it makes his head delightfully empty and brings him down to earth when he’s thinking too much.

Slider is the furnace in the relationship. Mav’s hands and feet are always cold and he’s constantly shoving them onto Slider’s warm body to heat himself up. Mav always claims he’s never cold, but Slider knows better and makes sure to always bring an extra hoodie for him when they go out or will open in his arms silently for Mav to step into while in the middle of a conversation just because he sees Mav fidgeting off to the side.

What Slider doesn’t know is that Mav deliberately doesn’t bring extra layers because he prefers Slider’s own body heat and just being close to him.

They both really enjoy the way each other smells. Mav’s comment of, “you stink,” was just a way to get under Slider’s skin because he truly enjoys the way the smell of sweat sticks to his skin after a strenuous activity. It always mixes with Slider’s natural woodsy scent and Mav likes to bury his nose into Slider’s chest and just sniff.

Slider can practically smell the leather of Mav’s jacket on his skin after it’s been off for hours and always picks up scents of oil or the way a jet engine smells. It’s almost as if jet fuel was in his blood. It’s enticing and something so Mav.

I have some nsfw HCs too, if y’all want to see them, but these are my more sfw and domestic HCs :)))

I would like some Brawshaw Parents pt 2 (bradley and phoenix) headcannons pwease

loved your post on macheresin as parents, now spill rooster as a dad (+icemav as granoarents ofc)

when the pregnancy test comes back positive, it scares the absolute hell out of them. they've been married a couple years now, together so long it's hard to remember a time when they weren't roosterandphoenix, and it's not like they weren't trying, but still. holy shit. holy shit, phoenix whispers, with a laugh that sounds more like a sob. holy shit, bradley echoes, with what actually is a sob. holy fucking shit. they're going to be parents.

mav cries when they tell him and ice, who utilizes every connection in his (extremely vast) possession to ensure they get all the support they need from the navy, every step of the way. phoenix's parents are divorced and she's not close to either of them, and she's terrified she's not going to be a good mom. bradley, on the other hand, is absolutely shit-scared of leaving his kid behind the way goose left him and carole behind - not that it was his dad's fault, he knows that now, accidents happen, but still. when phoenix is asleep (or pretending accurately enough to fool him), he takes to whispering to her belly, making promise after promise. i'll never leave you like my dad did, baby. i swear that i'll be around for you.

bradley is there for phoenix to the point that it's almost smothering, by her side through the worst of her morning sickness and the strangest of her cravings (who the fuck craves soap, bradshaw, what kind of child am i carrying??) and her mood swings. when it gets to be a little much, ice and mav intervene and get bradley out of the house so phoenix can have a little alone time. mav spends a lot of time reassuring bradley that he won't mess this up, that he (and ice) will be there for him. that goose and carole would have been so proud of him - that mav is proud of him too. many tears are shed.

they tell the rest of the detachment at the end of phoenix's first trimester, and for the next few months, gifts sporadically arrive at their house: baby clothes, diapers, stuffed toys, blankets...many, many toy planes. everybody thinks they are So Funny and So Original. bradley ends up stringing all the little planes into the baby's mobile that hangs over the crib. (painting the nursery alone takes more planning and coordination than was required for the mission that brought dagger squad together. colors are chosen. colors are rejected, rinse, repeat. phoenix argues with bradley for three hours about why he needs to get a grip and let her stand on the ladder. bradley loses that argument but wins the one about moving furniture. when everything is finally done - painted, furniture in place, rocking chair by the crib and changing station Just So - phoenix leans into him and he presses the softest kiss to her forehead. both of them are crying. neither says a word about it to the other.)

they wanted the baby's gender to be a surprise (they decided they were going to name their kid after goose whether it was a boy or a girl), and boy howdy is it ever a surprise when bradley holds his daughter for the first time. she's tiny and pink and squirmy and So Fucking Perfect that for a single moment, all of his worries disappear. hey, nickie, bradley says to his daughter - his daughter - once he gets his voice back. she stares curiously up at him from phoenix's arms, intrigued by his mustache and the tears in his voice and eyes. this is your mommy, and i'm your daddy. it's so good to finally meet you.

nickie rose bradshaw has phoenix's hair and bradley's eyes, and everybody loves her the minute they meet her (even if they meet her well-behaved or when she's in the middle of a toddler meltdown over bradley buying the wrong cherry popsicles at the store - even though they were the right ones last week. c'est la vie). she calls ice and mav grandpa and grandmav and has them both wrapped around her little finger, absolutely adores bob (she steals his glasses like the untitled horrible goose), and thinks piggyback rides from hondo are the greatest thing in the world. she's happy-go-lucky and cheerful and climbs everything and loves music and is so goddamn smart and stubborn it's not even funny. she got that from her parents in spades.

hangman - because it's not like rooster can avoid having hangman around his kid, not when he technically saved rooster and mav's lives and especially not when coyote and phoenix are so close - nicknames her robin, and nickie loves the nickname so much that she refuses to be called literally anything else. when mav starts calling nickie robin bradley knows it's a lost cause. (and it's not like bradley thinks the nickname is bad or anything; he just Cannot Stand that it was hangman who gave his daughter something she loves so much. or that nickie likes hangman so much.)

nickie, age five, giggling like a maniac: uncle jake is funny!!!

bradley on his hands and knees: baby how could you do this to me. i watched paw patrol for you.

(meanwhile - coyote: hey phoenix says that nickie wants to go by robin now because you started calling her that. jake. jake why are you crying)

phoenix, after many talks with sarah kazansky and penny benjamin (amelia babysits whenever she is home from college), settles on a parenting style that's basically like 'treat your kid the way you would want to be treated (but also be firm enough that you are not a pushover)'. bradley follows this rulebook as well, but is a little more lenient with nickie than phoenix is when it comes to tiny things like watching one more episode of her favorite cartoon or having ice cream before dinner.

bradley teaches nickie how to play piano, just like his father (and mother, after goose died) taught him: her sitting on his lap, her little hands over his, her eyes wide with delight at the music. she is very good at it and learns how to play great balls of fire for him for father's day. bradley is absolutely Wrecked. (the video is deemed best picture worthy by the dagger squad group chat.)

nickie loves her dad a lot - she drew a mustache on her face in permanent marker when she was three and loves to make him laugh - but she loves phoenix So Much Too. the first halloween costume she is old enough to choose herself, she dresses up as her mom in her dress whites, with her hair in a neat bun and her little face So Serious. the picture has a place of honor in phoenix's wallet until nickie has kids of her own.

ironically, unlike her parents, nickie Hates flying. she cannot stand traveling commercial and the one and only time she accepts mav's offer to take her up in one of his planes, she cries so hard that they don't even make it to the end of the preflight checklist. the bradshaws end up having to travel by bus and car a lot, and when they do have to fly, dramamine becomes their new best friend. phoenix does a little better at soothing nickie's aviophobia than bradley, but it's still a very exhausting experience for everybody involved (at least until nickie is old enough to get a prescription for xanax when she flies; then it's blissfully smooth sailing.) mav and bradley are a little disappointed she's not interested in flying, but then again, maybe that's not so bad. at least they won't lose her like they lost goose.
