#that's £10 million or so today

[lilliankillthisman]

Reading about currency controls in the old days is crazy... like what do you MEAN you need the Bank of England's permission to invest £500,000 in Canadian real estate. Don't they have better things to do.

🌟Canons shoot ships but not this one

My fics that could fit into the canon timeline of both tg and tgm!

The big ol’ masterlist :)

🌟Ten Past Twelve (763 words)

Rated Teen, hurt/comfort, angst

It's seven minutes past twelve when Iceman gets a glass of water. It's ten past twelve when he checks on Maverick.

🌟Midnight Jetty (1148 words)

Rated Gen, post-canon, grief/mourning

It was on nights like these that Maverick missed them most.

🌟The Lower Bunk (1364 words)

Rated Gen, emotional hurt/comfort, fluff, first kiss

It’s the night of the last mission. They were wingmen, the two of them, but Ice can’t get to sleep alone on his top bunk.

🌟Nowhere Else To Go (1252 words)

Rated Teen, fluff, hurt/comfort, seasickness

A storm out at sea is a bad remedy for a nightmare about drowing with your RIO, even if it did happen 10 months ago. But at least there’s space in the bed where he goes.

🌟The Fourteen (828 words)

Rated Teen, grief/mourning, hurt/comfort

"You say to me it isn't anyone's fault... 'anyone' includes you," Where Maverick finds Ice sitting on his jet enraptured in his thoughts of Goose.

🌟It's The Little Things (1491 words)

Rated Gen, angst, fireworks, fourth of july stuff, loneliness

It's the third of July, 1987. Tomorrow is the fourth, and it's Maverick's first without Goose, and he feels sad and lonely because it just doesn't feel the same. He thinks he's done a great job masking his feelings and pretending he's a-okay, but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on who you ask) Iceman can see straight through his mask.

🌟My Little Dove (1023 words)

Rated Teen, angst! pain! nothing but hurt!!!

But it’s like a clock. Every breath is a second closer. It’ll tick down to morning. The sun will rise. Tom will have seen his last sunset. Or, Maverick's goodbye to Iceman.

🌟A Year To Think (1846 words)

Rated Teen, angst, fluff, hurt/comfort, nightmares

29th July, 1987. Goose has been dead a year. It doesn't feel like that. Maverick doesn't know if he's okay or loved, but Ice is sure to show him just that.

🌟It's Okay Not To Be Okay (1112 words)

Rated Teen, survivors guilt, grief/mourning, hurt/comfort

Maverick didn’t blame Ice for what happened on Hop 31. He never would, no matter how much he overthought the whole thing. Charlie blamed Ice. She said that she did and made it obvious. Ice just listened.

🌟Almost Gone (2099 words)

Rated Gen, hurt/comfort, that's literally it.

Ice leaves the locker room, bitterly regretting what he's said. That was it. That was the last time he'll ever see Maverick again and he messed it up. Then Maverick leaves the locker room.

🌟Atelophobia (1601 words)

Rated Teen, physical hurt/comfort, panic attacks, Ice needs all the hugs ever

“They were abused children” Maverick didn’t think much of Goose’s quip he made back when he’d first been introduced to his now-partner, assuming it was a joke, not until he hears a smash from the kitchen and goes to investigate.

🌟Every End Is A Beginning (3175 words)

Rated gen, nightmares, panic attacks and hurt/comfort

The thing about Iceman, as Maverick had discovered, was that he didn't have 'feelings'. He didn't have issues like nightmares, and he kept his anxiety under wraps so tight Maverick would have thought he needed a hacksaw to get through to him. That's until he witnesses him lurch up into a sitting position in the dead of night. / Or, Ice has a nightmare and Maverick helps him through it

[orcelito]

As for my post this morning. If anyone was worried. Me personally I'm okay (I guess) but my dad's in the hospital and things r still very up in the air. So.

It took me, ugh, MONTHS (2), to get to cleaning the two shrimp tanks I have... I had IRL issues going on that would have made it extremely difficult to do a water change especially while injured, and I just had to keep putting it off. It's just shrimp, so it wasn't like, the worst situation, especially since I have established plants and the tanks are a couple years old. There was just a lot of algae build-up on the glass, and, well... Let me just say it was not contributing to my mental health and well-being while the tanks were in that state.

I tested the water before I started cleaning and the parameters were fine (like, I could have left the tanks even longer if I would be okay with selling my soul to the Algae Collective), and the plants and shrimp look fine, too (I mean, I've obviously been keeping an eye on the tanks bc I sit right next to them). Actually, I'd wager to say that the plants are looking really great (the lilies haven't died off [yet? This is the longest period of time I've seen them stay... foliage... fol... foliated? Idk.] and the cryptocoryne in the 10gal is fucking huge and needs to be rearranged, just not right now). That fucking algae was a motherfucker to get off the 10gal (it's a plastic tank and I think that makes the algae grip harder than the glass 5gal).

[Also, fyi, depending on the tank's needs and stability, recommended water changes are a small one every week or every other week. My parameters don't seem to do anything dramatic, so I usually aim for a 20-30% water change every third week (just depends on how much vacuuming needs to be done and how cooperative the shrimp are with moving aside). So 2 months is still a lot. I still did the normal 30% ish amount, since doing more will risk the shrimp's well-being if there's a sudden change in everything, and my water parameters indicated a change was unnecessary - but I don't test for more than the minimum freshwater tests, so there could be a buildup of some mineral I'm not testing for, which is why the change IS actually necessary regardless of what my test kit says - because these tanks were evaporating a lot in summer, it condenses the minerals added with each water addition, even tho I usually top up with R.O. water.]

My back is fucking killing me lol. It has been killing me since spring when it 'went out' for the first time, and I'm not getting any relief, it sucks. But this had to be done.

The 5gal is looking pretty cloudy still, since the filter was super gunked up and I accidentally spilled gunk back in, so I may need to retest the 5gal parameters tomorrow just to make sure I don't have to do another water change, but it'll probably be fine, right? Shrimp love mulm and detritus. I did give both tanks a big ole algae tab for their trouble, tho. (I need a fuckening dish for the big tank. I really wanna clean off that white quartz rock again, but being white means it's an algae magnet, and it's just gonna go green again after a month or two.)

Anyway, shrimp tax:

I lov thees widdle oange bebies.

Wish I could take better pictures rn, but I am. Like. Dying. My recommendation: never live in an A-frame style room if you have the option. The wall above my tanks is slanted, and NOT fun for my back to bend underneath the wall for maintenance. (My only flat wall in the room is for my TV/PC.) Also, treat your back nicely, in general. I unfortunately have not had the option to treat my back nicely since spring (fall now), because 'when it rains it pours,' and heavy shit that needs to be moved will not move itself. Once I get a few more things in my room in order, I will hopefully be done with the IRL chaos, bc I have Halloween socks to knit, and I'm not putting that off for another year. (I'm still mad that I couldn't make the ones I planned last year. And I found more Halloween yarn I forgot I bought, so I'm gonna try to make multiple socks.) And I just really need to fucking chill and knit and stop having panic attacks and meltdowns.

[demadogs]

it really hits different when someone, whether its a celebrity or just someone you work with, is a happily out lesbian. obviously im happy for any queer person that comes out but the majority of those who do, at least who i have encountered, are either gay men or bi women. and even tho we’re a part of the same community i still always feel a little isolated and different from them. the majority of my friends are queer but i have zero lesbian friends and it actually really upsets me. when i find out someone is queer im obviously happy but when i find out theyre lesbian i get so happy i wanna cry. its just different.
