hi! my name is everest, i'm in my 20s, i live in the midwest USA.
i post/reblog heated rivalry, top gun/TGM, twister(s), the PWHL (go frost), and occasionally the winnipeg jets (and other teams that i'm sympathetic to for college hockey-related reasons, which i will not elaborate on). sometimes there's pictures of the sky, too.
wanna be friends? cool, me too! send me an ask or a message, tag me in WIP wednesday chains or other posts, anything goes. (my life is very hectic and my writing habits are dictated by my schedule, so i cannot promise i'll respond to everything in a timely manner, but i will try!)
my blog is not childproofed. do not follow or interact with me if you are under 18.
(and no, i don't actually believe in chemtrails. i'm a big fan of basic thermodynamics and the upper-level wind.)

highlight reel of my fics below the cut!
top gun / top gun maverick
built my life around you (goose/maverick, t, 9.9k)
fluff, love confessions, and notes from a secret admirer over the years. disabled goose, smitten mav, shithead teenager bradley.
i'm gonna sleep ('cause you live in my daydreams) (carole/goose/maverick, e, 3.7k)
goosemavcarole threesome with a light sprinkling of somno. exactly what it says on the tin.
above us, the stars (hollywood/wolfman, m, 2.5k)
hollywolf under the stars, on sea and on land. kinda prose-y, super sweet.
true north (hangman/rooster, t, 5.9k)
newlyweds road tripping and sightseeing along I-94. it's a hangster relationship study but more importantly it's a vessel for my "slider is from fargo" conspiracy theory headcanon.
heated rivalry
hold me like your cards (close to your chest) (hollanov, e, 2.8k)
ilya feels some type of way about shane's tits. i found out the hard way that i can't write porn without feelings. bon appetit.
full attention (hollanovpike, e, 8.1k)
operation put hayden pike in the cuck chair was a mixed success, in that he did not stay there for very long but a good time was had by all.
twisters
wash, rinse, repeat (boone/javi/kate/tyler, e, 15.3k)
curly hair routines, shower handjobs, and polyamorous storm chasing practices. i would say this was the story of my life for a while, but i cut off my hair specifically to avoid the curl care, so...
collision, coalescence (boone/javi, e, 3.3k)
scott is javi's pseudo-ex, boone is javi's seasonal situationship, one of the tags is "homoerotic tailgate practices" and i think that about sums it up.
funny thing about anxiety is sometimes it kind of breaks your sense of danger. like i am known for repeatedly putting myself in situations that make my friends go "bro you couldve died. werent you scared?" and the answer is 👍 yjeah. i did it scared. i do everything scared. i didnt know that was the actual important kind of scary because i usually have to ignore my fears to function in society. it will happen again. watch out.
Hey guys remember in episode two when Ilya's father tears him apart for like three minutes just nonstop vitriol and then he gently straightens out Ilya's tie and lapels for him? Because I remember 👍
anyways i think shane was an incredibly colicky baby and it stressed his parents to death because it didn’t even have a cause most of the time, and the more upset he got the more upset yuna would get, because he’s making her feel like a terrible mother, like she’s failing him in this really essential way, like she’s unable to do this thing that is supposed to be innate, and she knows she has trouble connecting emotionally but she always thought that it would be different with her own baby, and shane and her just work each other up more and more.
and she thinks maybe it’ll get better once shane gets older, once he learns to talk, but then he’s 2 and he’s still not talking, and he’s having tantrums that come out of nowhere and don’t have a common underlying trigger, and the ONLY thing shane likes is sprinting around the house at top speeds (he's in a toddler helmet for sure) or being swaddled and rocked, and he keeps hitting all the other toddlers at playgroup and yuna is LOSING IT and she KNOWS everybody is looking sideways at her and the pediatrician mentions getting him evaluated and she finds a new pediatrician because she isn’t a failure, she ISN’T.
and then when shane is 3 the lake by their cottage freezes over that winter and they put a pair of baby skates on him and then in about 30 seconds flat shane is halfway across the damn lake and yuna nearly gets a concussion trying to catch him. and then he comes inside and eats his carrot sticks without fussing and watches blues clues and takes a nap on her lap. and yuna is sitting there watching blues clues on silent and crying into her hand to stay quiet because holy shit. holy shit.
my specialty is liking the same movies that 50-year-old dads like but in a way that would instantly send those dads into cardiac arrest if they heard me talk about them

here's a snippet from terra firma!! i'm debating posting chapter 1 now or waiting until i have more of the fic done. if i don't wait until the fic is further along, updates will be slow, but i love this fic too much not to finish it. feel free to peer pressure me about this, i will probably cave.
"In the meantime, consider reaching out to your best friend. Go out for lunch, or coffee, or just have him or her over for an afternoon, and I want you to tell this person something about Bradley that you haven't told them before. Keep the memory alive, and catch up with others. They're probably wondering where you went. Let them be your support."
Jake looks at the twenty-seven unread texts from Javy while he's adding the appointment to his calendar and grimaces. "Okay. I can do that."
The sun hurts his eyes on his way out of the building. He shields them with one hand and opens his text thread with Javy with the other. It's too crowded to read most of the messages, but the last few mostly seem resigned to being ignored, but still checking for signs of life outside of work.
Drinks this Friday? Jake writes, and Javy reacts with a thumbs-up sometime on his drive home.

@whatiwouldnotgive2 and @sonnywrites tagged me, thanks y'all <3
LAST SONG: kansas remembers me now by orville peck. one of the greatest voices ever. if you like country, listen to orville peck. if you don't like country, listen to orville peck anyway.
CURRENTLY WATCHING: heated rivalry. repeatedly. i don't watch a lot of media, i watch one thing every few months-years and squeeze the life out of it.
CURRENT OBSESSION: heated rivalry, with top gun on a low simmer ofc
CURRENTLY READING: ignition by M. R. O'Connor! it's about wildfire ecology and fire stewardship.
CURRENTLY WORKING ON: two heated rivalry exchange fics that i cannot discuss publicly (but that i am very very excited about), my hangster grief thesis, and the hollywolf storm chasing au that lives rent free in my mind at all times.
CURRENTLY WEARING: an old diy tie-dyed shirt and a pair of gym shorts (as pajamas)
LAST GOOGLE SEARCH: 'how to cover a broken headlight' (because i, for the first time ever in my life, rear-ended someone today and knocked out my headlight cover thing. i have to wait for the parts to ship to fix it but the bulbs are fine. turns out they make heavy-duty clear tape specifically for this situation!)
FAVORITE FLOWER: dogwoods, probably. they're the state flower of missouri and we had a dogwood tree in my backyard growing up so they remind me of home :)
have 2 believe that ilya hanging out at her house all the time leads to at least a few times where shes in a robe and straight out of the shower w wet hair and her face is a little pink and damp from the steam and she beelines for the couch bc she CANNOT miss shane's face off and ilya is sitting there wrapped in three blankets with a pint of cookies n cream trying to not look at her directly and Yuna is literally smelling soooooo good and Ilya is texting Shane furiously WHERE IS YOUR DAD?? and Shane's like "I'm about to blow up Scott Hunter's walker and this is what ur texting me?? Ugh" and then ilya swipes to his thread with svetlana and says "as a belated half birthday present to you I will tell you one true thing about jane" and sveta immediately responds "ok yay let me think" and Ilya says "no this is not a fucking q&a session I am telling you his mom is so hot and I am alone with her and I am panicking" and sveta says "ILYUSHA!!!!!!!!! PICK UP PICK UP PICK UP" and Ilya blocks her for the evening
