you have a lot of moles is that because of the inbreeding? Tom’s reply comes days later: a screenshot of an article headline, WILL MAVERICK MAKE THE PRESIDENT A GRANDFATHER, captioned by Tom, Darling, you told me you were on birth control.

[lupuslikethewolf]

ah yes. conversations that representatives of the american presidency should absolutely be having at the royal wedding. this is normal.

“So Thomas is your new best friend,” Daniel continues. “Your job is to smile and nod and try not piss off anyone important while you and Thomas spend the weekend at charity appearances and telling the press how much you both adore each other’s company. I want you to gush about him like you’re Nick and he’s Carole.” He slides over a page of bullet-pointed lists labelled HRH PRINCE THOMAS FACT SHEET. Skimming it quickly, the HOBBIES stick out to him: competitive horseback polo and recreating training hops in an F-35 Lightning. Maverick is going to throw himself off the top of the White House. “Does he get one of these for me?” Mav asks helplessly. “Yes. And for the record, making it was one of the most depressing moments of my career.”

“Here,” Mav says. “If we’re gonna have to keep this up, it’ll get annoying to keep going through handlers. Just text me.” Tom stares at him, expression distinctly bewildered, and Mav truly wonders how this guy has any friends. “Right,” Tom says finally. “Thank you.” “Just remember, I’m no cheap callgirl. No booty calls,” Mav tells him, and Tom chokes on a laugh.

how am i nearly 10k words into the icemav!rwrb au and (a) it STILL doesn’t have a title and (b) im only on the first scene of the third chapter

[lupuslikethewolf]

[lupuslikethewolf]

i’m so excited for your fic — the icemav rwrb!au. *₊˚🌷୧

adjsjjs so am i!!!

such endless blue (let's end this too) - Chapter 1

It’s not even a rivalry, really, Maverick just thinks he’s a dick. Every time he’s mentioned or noticed, it’s like a sharp, prickling annoyance starts to build up underneath Mav’s skin, driving him wild and making his palms sweat. Maybe it’s a bit of a rivalry. Whatever. The media, the tabloids, and the rest of the world seem to have put Maverick and the Prince in the same box — every move that one of them makes is compared to something inane that the other already did.  Sighing, Wolfman tips his hat back down and mutters, “If you end up permanently exiled from the United Kingdom, I will resign on the spot.” Maverick grins, sharp as the wings of the jet.

okay. Okay. i think i have finally done all of the spellchecking i could possibly ever do. how do we feel. if icemav rwrb au chapter one drops today.

[lupuslikethewolf]

both options are from the song Wild Blue Yonder by The Amazing Devil which is absolutely the song for this fic. go listen. please.

Marbles (same band) is very 22!icemav coded. btw. i could make that a whole post on its own.

title has nothing to do with dr who! apologies specifically to @flash-wing who was very happy at the prospect earlier. i still haven't watched it. please vote anyway.

[lupuslikethewolf]

i'm now a few thousand words into the icemav!rwrb au

There’s a Post-It note somewhere with the words RAEGAN + TAX EVASION + THE DEVIL HIMSELF = CHESTER CAIN??? written on it. That’s about as far as Maverick’s investigation has gotten him.
