#solomon 'warlock' bates

Thanks to @thethistlegirl for the idea, I had much fun altering the text once I took the gifs. Like she would say "YOU WENT THE EXTRA MILE AND MADE GIFS AND I STILL SCREAM".

Rather like Mav himself Tom set out to do a thing and succeeded and whether people recognize that or not doesn't seem to matter to him, it's that he’s doing what he loves, where he belongs, that counts... And I think that's beautiful and I feel like that is what matters the most in the end.

Decided to make one of these for Top Gun: Maverick too, you know... to dispel the pain I caused with my last post...

(this is my whatsapp history, not direct quotes from the movie)

(in the first one, I'm aware it looks like There's a 30 min gab between both messages. There is not, my internet just decided that they were going to let me see the message 30 min later)

*to Warlock, Cyclone, and Hondo* Maverick: I'll be back soon. Maverick: If Ice calls, tell him I died but make sure you really sell it.

[scottishaccentsareawesome]

Cyclone(during a TOPGUN staff meeting): - Alright, the nays have it. Let the record reflect it...Maverick, I hope that's not food in those bags. Food is not allowed at these meetings. Maverick: No, sir. It's not. It's, um, diapers for the little ones. Cyclone: What? Maverick: Dorsal fins and Cucamonga. Cyclone(to Warlock): What did he say? Maverick(to Ice, who's sitting in on the meeting): - I confuse him till he loses his train of thought and then he moves on.[opens a bag of snacks]...Hot dog?

GTKTM: FAVORITE TV SHOW/FILM PER MEMBER ↳ TOP GUN: MAVERICK — by Liv (@natashatrace)

You could learn a thing or two about timing, Captain.

I don't think we as a fandom realize the potential a Golden Bachelor Icemav AU has

(totally not inspired by the fact that someone this season is a retired Navy Captain)

Ice as the Golden Bachelor, he came out later in life and his ex and his kids pushed him to participate

Candidates:

Mav (Bradley applied behind his back)

Slider (quickly realized he's not interested but flirts with everyone (for the drama)) (could also be a throuple situation)

Hollywood and Wolf but they promptly realize they're in love with each other

Cyclone and Warlock same story but with much more drama (Cyclone's crush on Ice is inevitable)

Cain as a the sleazy guy (every season needs someone that makes you ask what the producers were thinking)

All the other Flyboys + Cougar + fan favourite Savant ofc

Literally anyone else

I'd love a version with Mav as the GB too, a maybe a Bi version with all the guys, plus Hondo but also Charlie, Penny and whoever.

Always down for another side romance so Bradley visits the set and immediately antagonize that one stupidly handsome guy on the crew (it's Jake).

Is this the moment I admit I've never watched any iteration of the show?

Okay so I was reading this article and it talks about how Jon Hamm basically went into his role on Landman without really knowing what it was (he thought he was doing a superhero show). That reminded me of another interview where he said he didn’t know what his role would be on Top Gun Maverick- he just wanted to be in it.

So imagine a Cyclone who is an incredibly talented aviator, and a brilliant officer who climbed the ranks almost as fast as his hero, Iceman. He has a reputation for being in the right place at the right time, even if he isn’t always sure what he’s doing there. In short, he’s a bit clueless.

His best friend, Solomon, is usually there to pull him back on task or bail him out if he runs his mouth about something. Warlock and Iceman shared many drinks over the years, commiserating about their respective wingmen.

So the years move on, and Ice starts to worry about Maverick. They aren’t getting any younger, and he’s the last of the flyboys to settle down. Even Slider is seriously courting his young aviator (Fritz).

Ice thinks about who he could set Mav up with that would be interesting enough to hold Mav’s attention. He thinks it needs to be a man. Yes, Maverick enjoys the company of both men and women, but he’s a little more pliant, he gives himself over more completely to men.

It needs to be someone fairly tall. The main reason Slider and Mav had hooked up so many times over the years was the fact that they were enamored with each other’s size. Ron loved wrapping Pete up in his long arms, covering the smaller aviator, and protecting him.

Mav was still painfully touch-starved after all these years, and he loved being cuddled. Ice did his best when he was around, but the more stars he added to his collar meant less time for his wingman.

It was a meeting at Top Gun that gave him the idea. He was going over orders for Cyclone and Warlock and he looked at his protege with new eyes. A conversation with Solomon afterwards confirmed the fact that Beau was in fact both gay and single. Solomon was thrilled with the idea of unleashing Mav on his unsuspecting wingman.

During the mission prep, Beau has no clue that Mav is flirting with him, or that Iceman set them up. He is focused on the mission parameters and trying to contain the chaos that is Maverick Mitchell (and his new squadron of mini-Mavs).

When Mav goes down, it hits Beau like a freight train. He can’t be gone. Beau needs him. He wants him.

Solomon holds him up and keeps him from giving into his panic. When they finally crash land on deck, Beau’s first thought is to recreate the picture of Ice and Mav, with a little more kissing. He settles for what he hopes is a professional looking acknowledgment.

Mav is preoccupied with Bradley once they get back on land, but Ice invites them to dinner, and seats Beau next to Pete. With the tall admiral in close quarters, Mav seduces him successfully.

They date, fall in love, and live happily ever after.

A tribute to one of the best fanfictions I have ever read:

Don’t worry, you don’t have to know West Wing to read it <3

I can’t wait for the last chapter!!!

Okay so we have

1. “Important press Conference coming up!”

2. “The enemy has invaded the territory - wait no, the marines are the good ones:)”

3. “Quality Time for the family ❤️”

4. Something official (I may have pasted a small extract of the first chapter in there as a filler *-*)

5. “Home Office on a new level, I guess…”

6. “It’s been quite a while and you’re still going strong - happy birthday to my wingman in the air and on the ground @chiefofstaff (thanks for still putting up with me)”

7. “Small Talk can be just as important as conference meetings”

8. “You leave the room for five minutes and your staff starts destroying state property (just kidding, I love them all)”

9. “The vacation where you meet the extended family”

I know that you wouldn’t see most of that irl, but it’s Pete and he’s Maverick, what can I do?

Here are part 2 and 3 ^^

[blazingstar29]

“Beau, I’m asking you to really think about this. Kazansky is in hospital and you send Maverick packing to see him. People will make assumptions about them and about you.” 

He shakes his head. It’s a risk he’s already running damage control on. “It’s not 1985 anymore.” 

“It is for them."

chapter 4 of hiding from ghosts in a haunted house (aka 5 times maverick comes into work and the one time he takes time off) is out now :D

[alicentsstark]

Maverick: When I die, please give Iceman my regards.  Warlock: What should I tell him?  Maverick: Regards.

[scottishaccentsareawesome]

Cyclone's Assistant: We've been able to tune into the enemy's radio frequency, sir. We can hear them discussing our pilots that they've captured. Cyclone: Tell me. Assistant: According to the radio dispatches, one pilot is "Sass with a Jawline" and the other is "Sass with a Moustache" and they "bicker like an old married couple who took a wrong turn on their honeymoon roadtrip". Cyclone(sighs): Hangman and Rooster.... Cyclone(to Warlock):...Who's gonna tell Maverick? Warlock: -Not it! Cyclone: Not it! DAMNIT!
