top gun but make them high schoolers-

imagine

bob being the computer kid who everyone actually kinda loves. a geek but a loveable one who’s weirdly popular. not one of the ‘it’ people, but everyone outside of that loves him.

hangman: one of those jocks, always has a gf on his arm, never more than a week or so. it’s mostly just to keep up appearances (idk what hangman’s widely accepted sexuality is in the fandom but i’m going with bi i think). seems like a total dickhead arrogant ass, the kinda person that you either love and obsess over him or you hate him. kinda on the fringe of the ultra popular gang.

rooster: the sporty kid who has a few friends , but most people think that he thinks he’s better than them. he focuses on his school and sports, dreaming of going places, and mav pushes him, hard, to achieve that. rooster and hangman hooked up once after a game, and never told a soul, but it makes for a lot of awkward encounters during training. surprisingly good at art, and likes to hang out in the art room when he’s not training.

maverick: the reluctant alumni who was brought back to coach after he tore his achilles tendon and his career was ruined. he acts like a total ass half the time but the students are drawn to him, and he’s one of the favourite teachers.

iceman: the head of the school, hates the PTA with a passion. cares about the students but rarely ever makes appearances. him and mav are husbands, but no one aside from rooster knows

Phoenix is the girl every lesbian has a crush on and every straight girl wants to be. she’s been trying for years to be accepted into the boys football team cuz the girls one is really dismal.

idk who else?

Kazansky siblings ft. Mav (+ some cringe thoughts on family dynamics under the cut)

Tom is Alicia Florrick eldest sister coded. He must be perfect he must not be a burden if he causes any issues at all it will rock the boat and he does not want yo rock the boat. If he excels he will stand out and be appreciated. He must be good. He cannot be perfect (gay) so he must be ya know? His parents have been on the precipice of divorce for a decade by the time he’s 17 (he’s been rooting for them to get it over and done with since he was 11). They don’t need any of his shit to deal with too. Sarah on the other hand is younger sister coded. She has her own shit going on. Unlike ice she didn’t realize divorce was on the horizon until it was right in front of her and an already rebellious streak was exacerbated. She’s an emotions first consequences second kind of person and can be a little selfish although can you really blame her? Amy is the true youngest sister but she’s got that bonus baby ten years younger than her siblings thing happening. Ice and Sarah are super different but have a forged in fire closeness. Amy is just kinda vibing outside of them. She grew up with her parents divorce being a done deal by her 6th birthday and thus in a much chiller environment. Ice left huge expectations and Sarah left none so whatever Amy did was good enough. She feels a little left out and left behind sometimes but only when reminded that she’s not like actually an only child. At 34 Ice is a USNA grad like his father with an exceedingly impressive career and huge things to come but with no wife or girlfriend to show for it. At 31 Sarah is finding her footing after a bit of a wild 20s with a nursing degree and job. At 22 Amy is going to grad school for writing thinking how lucky she is Sarah turned her back on the navy and rotc back then. It’s made her parents much more accepting of a theater degree.

*in class*

viper: maverick, where’s your homework?

maverick: yeah my dog ate it…

viper: maverick… your homework was to take care of the class hamster.

*a moment of silence*

goose, whispering: mav you don’t have a dog.

maverick, taking the hamster out of his bag and shielding it: YOU CAN’T HAVE HER

Flyboy!Jake at his peak in HS?

this is so old (can you tell i am combing through my ask box - i cannot tell you how many times i’ve opened it and shut it because i get a tiny panic attack at the things i have let sit ajdkhska - life just gets in the way…)

but yes yes, yes! this is flyboy!jake at his peak in HS. like in his last year before college or something. also this reminds me of the tiktok where its uses the “i like you, have a cupcake” audio and then it flashes to the “smack my ass like a drum” audio because it goes from guy with a cap > guy with a backwards baseball cap > guy with a uniform (which uhm is basically flyboy!jake through the years???)

also imagine the number of girls who try to steal his cap, or hoodie - but he never lets any of them have it. but you? pluck the cap off his head - he lets you, or say you are cold - and you are bundled in his hoodie right away. and those shirts (if you are around my age, you will remember when everyone was wearing then) get caught in the rain one day while at school? no problem - the spare shirt or teo which jake always has stashed in his locker / car - that becomes your shirt for the day, no arguments (because he saw some of the guys eyeing you and your wet shirt and immediately was like fuck no)

(Daggers!High School AU) Phoenix: My aptitude test says I should consider a career in..."Ruling the world." [grins] Never seen that one! Teacher: The rest of the class falls within a more traditional range of careers. Although, we did get one bunny farmer... Bob(knows it's him): Yay! Teacher: ...And "armpit sniffer #5" in a deodorant factory. Rooster(grins, knows it's him): I got a job!

Have you written anything that you'd like to share but hasn't been asked about or published in your fics?

yes! for reference, this is the grand total of words I’ve PUBLISHED to AO3 (minus 6k for my Mission: Impossible one-shot)

but… this is the word count of BOTH documents containing deleted content for the series. And by deleted I mean “will never see the light of day, ACTUALLY deleted.” my Dark Google Docs.

to be clear these are two separate docs with different stuff inside.

and, let’s see, what’s in them… some stuff that genuinely had great potential, but i just couldn’t pull off…

there’s this one scene im thinking of, that was going to go in extras part one, right after ice & mav start trying to be friendly with each other post-break-up, where maverick asks to go for a run with ice. So ice, bewildered & sooo happy mav wants to spend time with him again, takes him on a run. And there’s all this stuff about how maverick isn’t cut out for distance, he’s a sprinter, his running form is atrocious… “well if this were a push-up contest I’d have beaten you hours ago…” lots of banter about high school football and “tight ends”… ice taking mav to his San Diego high school track and making him run repeats… “You never know, Mav, running might save your life one day, if you get shot down behind enemy lines…!” / “yeah right like that’ll ever happen!” Etc. It ended with ice & mav making a deal that mav will start running with ice if ice starts working out with mav at the hangar—loser buys the winner dinner every time. Always a competition with them, but it REALLY gets them to be friends/actively dating again. & then later they do a real 10K or something in San Diego and it’s a huge deal that maverick actually beats ice in the final sprint… except, they still have to run home after the race is over, and ice beats mav home! So he really wins! And there was like an instructional moment where ice tells mav “you always have to save enough in the tank to come home, Mav… i thought you knew that! I learned that from you ❤️!” or something gay like that. And Mav takes him out to dinner according to the rules of their deal.

anyway, i was kind of upset i couldn’t pull that one off.

Seems ill-advised, tbqh.

"You don't want to hear the kinds of questions I've got."

#hannix

[Send me the first sentence and a pairing and I'll write the next five.]

"You don't want to hear the kinds of questions I've got."

Natasha rolls her eyes and warns Jake not to make her regret bringing him home for Thanksgiving. She's still not sure that they're quite there yet, but it's not like she can uninvite him now. He had looked so pathetic last week when he told her that "The Seresin Family Hang-sgiving" was canceled this year because his parents needed to use up the tickets to Venice his sister had gifted them two anniversaries ago before December so he was probably going to stick around North Island and hang out at The Hard Deck with all the other lushes who had nowhere else to go. Natasha had been perfectly content to ignore how mopey he looked – after all, wasn't celebrating Thanksgiving akin to getting waterboarded for a dude who tried to stay away from carbs? – but then Bob flashed her a pointed glare like she owed Hangman something just because he'd dragged her to his family's ranch in Austin for The Fourth.

She didn't, of course, because Jake was so Rah Rah Rah about Texas that it wouldn't take much to get an invite to his hometown so he could wax poetic about Longhorns football and fried okra until the cows came home for tipping. But there was the small matter of Jake getting on top of a coffee table before the Summer Seresin Scavenger Hunt began and declaring to his entire extended family that he was "boo'd up" as if the thing that their relationship was missing up until that point was a heavy dose of mortification. Nat still hasn't forgiven Payback for expanding Hangman's musical horizons even though he's probably right that it's better than Jake donning a cowboy hat so he could make a Patsy Cline reference instead. For that alone, Natasha should've let him flounder in California while everyone else went back home, but rather than disappoint Bob and have to hear about it for the next half dozen training sessions, Natasha went against her self-preservation instincts and invited Jake to have turkey with her family in the suburbs of New Jersey.

She knew it was a bad idea the moment she asked and has only doubled down on that impression now when encountering the wild gleam in Jake's eyes as he looks around her childhood bedroom. Natasha's never been happier than at this moment that she took down the extremely embarrassing boy band posters from her walls the first time she came home from college. All that's left now is a cherry-picked altar of her accomplishments. There are honors society certificates on her walls and her diploma from Stanford, medals from swim meets and a gleaming golden soccer ball perched on top of the MVP trophy she got when their team won nationals after the favorites got disqualified on a technicality. Jake takes in the framed pictures spanning Natasha's life and photobooth strips with her friends taken at a mall kiosk when they cut class to go see Step Up. He looks mesmerized as he practically bounces on the balls of his feet while soaking up all these snippets of who she was before he met her.

The quiet gets to be too much so Nat finally relents and says, "You get one question."

Jake looks like Kevin McCallister let loose at Duncan's Toy Chest, unsure of what to do with all this newfound freedom as his eyes trail along from wall to wall before stopping at the picture of Natasha with her date at prom.

"Where's all your debate team stuff?" he finally asks.

Natasha grins. Sucker.

"I wasn't on the debate team."

"Wait a minute. You made it seem—"

"I'm just naturally gifted at arguing with you."

"Flag on play, Trace! I should get another question."

"Should've gone with a sure thing," she says with an unapologetic shrug. "I really thought you'd ask if I still had the outfit from my very brief stint as a cheerleader."

She can feel him grinning when Jake leans in, his breath hot against her ear as he asks with all the excitement of a kid on Christmas morning, "Well, do you?"

Natasha makes a mental note to kill Bob when they get home.

Void,
