I need a Goose lives au solely to have him deal with both Icemav and Hangster.
Like he thought he was done with Icemav but then his own son goes and does the same bullshit.
Half of his white hairs were from Icemav and the rest is from Hangster

Writing a hangster fic rn based on this promposal https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSrq1tVpW/
Note: Jake is icemav's son
Plot
Bradley and Jake are childhood friends and they're going to the same highschool. Bradley is having a migraine thinking about how he would ask Jake to prom. While him and his friends were watching Monty Python. Mickey had an idea.
Bradley, Bob, Mickey, and Reuben executes the plan while Natasha waits in the car. Jake along with dads stands at the door to watch Bradley makes a fool of himself. As Bradly asks for Jake to be his date, Ice shuts the door on their hopeful grins.
"Get off my lawn Bradshaw!" Ice yells, as the door shuts behind them.
The next night, Goose tags along to help his son.
So my Top Gun hyperfixation is strong enough to still be kicking me whilst on a flare up.
Cheers for it because the pain and the meds are strong enough to make me go 2+2=5 but Pretty Air Gays™ are still on brain.
So my brain went
Wait
Let's make goose live because I'm in denial
BUT
He's disabled now (I'm not projecting wdym?)
Making wheelies with little BeepBeep (can't remember og poster who came up w that right now my brain really does hurt) on his lap
Asking Mav to push him to see Slider and Ice because he's "too tired" which yeah he is but he just wants Mav and Ice to Get Together Already because the pinning is too much and he made a bet with Carole and Sli about it
Happy Goose™ being Not So Happy Goose because he can do many things and he's alive but he won't fly with Mav as his RIO again and he's in pain
All the guys from the 86's class coming up with ideas to cheer him up without making him tired
Them deciding to just chill on the floor because if anything the only sure thing besides Iceman being gay as fuck is that they will be on the ground with goose as long as he needs it
Anyway
I'm in pain if anyone wants more let me know because I have so many ideas and not enough braincells to will them to words
icemav headcanons
**important to note
-goose lives, just injured after the canopy incident so mav still flies with merlin for the mission and icemav still become wingmen
-most of these are set after they all graduate top gun
ice and maverick have always thought the other was attractive, it wasn’t a very well kept secret if their time at topgun was any indicator, and anybody with eyes could tell that they wanted to be with each other and finally, finally they fell into bed together after months of dancing around eachother and their feelings and it was eye opening for the both of them. mav looked ready to bolt when he woke up next to him because ice meant more to him than a quick fuck but he didn’t know how to tell him that and didn’t want to fuck anything but between them, but ice held onto him with, the patience of a saint knowing that he’d just gotten maverick to see his feelings and he wasn’t letting him go anytime soon.
they talked it out with only a few shed tears before maverick pushed ice back down onto the bed and showed him just how much he meant to him. (mav called goose and told him everything, with carole right there behind him chipping in and adding her own comentary) (apparntly goose owed her five dollars because she knew that it was going to happen soon after the mission, goose thought it would’ve happened taken months) (mav rolled his eyes at gooses’ lack of faith in his ability to get with a guy he liked but didn’t rebut it because he never thought he’d get here with ICEMAN of all people)
mav and ice do NOT take things slowly, as neither of them are known to be passive about what they want. they already spend most of their time together during the day as their stations together, but now they have an excuse (they didn’t need one before) to spend even MORE time with eachother and they are insufferably in love.
ice who drinks coffee in the morning not because he needs it to wake up, but because he likes the taste. mav who needs coffee to even think about starting the day, so ice, who wakes up first, makes mav’s coffee first then his own. (he likes seeing mav all soft and sleepy in the morning, and he’s always rewarded for his efforts with a happy grin, a soft kiss to his cheek and a “thanks sweetheart,” in mavs delicious morning voice, but he likes to say it’s because it’s the only time mav isn’t running his mouth)
mav runs warm but ice, ironically, runs warmer, so they buy the best a/c money can buy because ice is a tactile mother fucker and can’t sleep without at least one limb touching mav at all times.
everytime ice gets deployed somewhere different than mav (which is hardly ever because the navy recognizes how fucking good they are together) maverick relishes in the free space because while ice curls up to go to sleep, mav spreads fucking eagle. legs and arms out starfish style (though he is always very happy to have his personal extra limb back in bed with him)
ice sleeps on the left and mav sleeps on the right, though sometimes when mav gets sick or ice isn’t there, he’ll sleep on ice’s side.
ice rarely gets sick, he has seasonal allergies that he takes medicine for but when he does get sick he gets SICK. he’s coughing and hacking and he can’t breathe and everything that could go wrong goes wrong. mav always knows when ice is sick because he gets cold and clammy and miserable.
ice never takes being sick seriously and will try and go back to work without much care and it takes mav (and slider usually) to coerce him back to bed with a good book and promise to keep with updated on any changes back on base.
mav on the other hand sneezes twice in a row and swears he’s dying, but he’s just dramatic. mav gets sick A LOT. the weather changes and he’s down with a head cold. he’s also allergic to cats and ice’s family has three fat, spoiled tabbies named mimi, stella and princess and they LOVE maverick.
however, poor mav can’t even be near anything they touch because he’ll break out in hives. he will however down as many benedrill as he can and play with them because he loves them just as much.
his attempts to convince ice to let them get a cat always end in a resounding no, because ice actually likes having his boyfriend not in severe medical distress because a cat so much as looked at him
being sick is one thing but when it comes to the big stuff like injuries, broken bones and the like, no one takes it more seriously than ice. as soon as something feels off, ice is at the base hospital asking them to look over it, he doesn’t want to jeopardize his flying at all.
on the other hand mav gets such an adrenaline kick whenever he’s in the air that he doesn’t feel any injuries until it’s too late.
once he wasn’t strapped in properly in the tomcat and tuned a corner so sharp he rammed his elbow against the canopy and it shattered. goose heard a sickening crack come from mav’s general direction and the groan that he let at the turn and immediately told mav that he had to land the plane. mav asked goose if he was okay and all goose could do was gape at his idiot of a best friend becuse there’s no way that if goose heard the crack from somewhere in mav’s body over the roar of the engine that mav wasn’t feeling at least something.
eventually, after he got mav to land after he stubbornly stupidly insisted he was fine and that he needed to finish his training, goose flagged down medical and when they arrived mav’s flight suit was drenched in blood at the arm and he was leaning on goose just trying to breathe through the pain because the adrenaline he had from flying was gone and the pain kicked in real fast and all he remembers is someone touching his elbow and how much it burned and white hot pain coursed through his body .
he’s told later in the hospital that he passed out, eyes rolling back and that with his maverick fucking luck he actually landed on his elbow, injuring it more before anyone could catch him. he then passes out again, though this time it’s medically induced by anesthesia as he’s being prepped for surgery.
the next thing he knows he’s waking up in a hospital room on base with a cast on his elbow and ice sitting at his side. once he’s wake ice looks at him for a few seconds, looking at him worriedly as he breaths out a soft, “jesus mav,” under his breath. then remembers he’s upset with maverick and loudly recalls all the details for him and yells at him for 25 minutes for being so stupid for keeping himself in the air injured and bleeding and how one day he swears mav will kill himself in the cockpit and when he does ice will dig him up and kill him himself because, “pete you’re not dying by anyone’s hands but mine.” and mav stopped listening because ice had obviously not realized the slip but maverick did and wow did it make his heart beat faster because that was the first time ice had said mavericks name. not mitchell, not maverick but pete.
so pete leaned up and smiled so wide it made ice pause because there’s no way mav was smiling through his lecture (if being called a reckless fool by your boyfriend was considered lecturing) and then he felt mav pull him by shirt collar with his good hand and kiss him speechless. “that’s the first time you’ve called me pete, tom.” and wow ice loved hearing his name on mav’s lips so he just smiled back, “yeah, well maybe ill do it more if you aren’t so stupid.” and all mav could do was laugh and kiss tom again within an inch of his life.
goose, who came to visit with bradley just sighed and covering his kids eyes and clearing his throat loudly. ice and mav jumped apart quickly and blushed, before mav smiled as bradley (who’d been let down by goose once they’d separated, smiled widley at his godfather, “MAV! daddy said you got hurt cause you were dumb so im here to make you feel better!” and ice chocked out a laugh as mav shot his best friend a look, “oh did he, well your daddy must love me very much if he brought my favorite godson over to see me” and goose and ice just rolled their eyes fondly because mav and bradley did this little routine so often it was second nature, “but mav im your ONLY godson.” “that’s why you’re my favorite baby goose.”
it made mav and bradley happy so no one had to heart to tell them it was a corny joke, because it was cute to see mav so happy. everyone could tell just how much he loved the kid and bradley loved his godfather just as much.
mav smiled wider, if that was possible, and picked bradley up with his good arm and placed him on his lap. ice sat next to the two of them and goose on the chair beside of mavericks bed, and the four of them just chatted, well it mostly consisted of goose and ice ragging on mav for being a bad influence of bradley, and for being dumb in general (calling him a dumbass in as kid friendly a way as they could) when carole was about to join them and saw just how happy and relaxed they all were, so she snapped a picture of them, which made them all turn to her at the flash. “whatcha up to honey?” goose had asked as he called his wife over to join then and pulled her on his lap, “oh nothing, just admiring our family.”
and if ice’s smile got a little wobbly at being included by the most important people in his boyfriends life, then no one else had to know but him.
Deciding that Carole and Charlie should kiss. Goose dies or he lives but he and Carole divorce (because of a wider plot where he wins top gun, becomes an instructor but falls for Slider and either cheats on her or just divorces her because he doesn't love her).
She ends up taking up a job in the Library of Congress in DC, because she wants a new start but also because there's good benefits. Charlie bumps into her one day while at work and they reconnect. They become friends, go for coffee and Charlie shows her the sights.
One thing leads to another, however, Carole finds out why Charlie left Maverick behind after Goose’s accident, she realised she’s a lesbian. Carole jokes that Mav turned her off men and reveals to her how her marriage fell apart. They make a pact "fuck navy men, but not literally" and end up kissing.
They take it slow, Carole’s never dated a woman before and has a little bit of apprehension because she’s heavily Christian. Goose picks Bradley up with Slider, Mav and Ice for scout camp and is surprised to see Charlie saying goodbye and telling Bradley they'll get him a souvenir from France. Carole’s almost showing Charlie off, like she’s trying to show him she can run off with someone they both know as well. Charlie just stares daggers at him while Goose puts the pieces that Carole’s new thing is Charlie Blackwood and not some guy named Charlie. He's also surprised that his jealousy over someone else getting to raise his kid doesn't go away
Things work out well for them. Charlie starts smiling at work more, Carole mentions Charlie to the other parents but never says "she" or "her" so everyone assumes it's a guy until a friend drops Bradley off from a sleepover, gets invited in for coffee and sees the now infamous Charlie in Carole’s robe.
News spreads, Carole brings Charlie to a bbq after the end of the kids' little league season and educate a lot of the people there about lesbianism, and how Carole is bisexual, not a lesbian.
When Bradley’s arranging a birthday sleepover however, and this is when Carole and Charlie have moved in together, one of the kid's isn't allowed to come. Charlie finds this out when picking Bradley up in her porsche, she also finds out that the reason why is because they don't want him being brainwashed. She confronts the mum, being all nice in that corporate "I hate you but I can't say it" way until the mum caves from being confronted and lets the kid go.
Charlie goes on a conference to China for a while and thinks of her girl the whole time. She even brings her back a fancy robe
FOUND - Looking for a fic
Edit: It's been found! The answer is in the comments if anyone's curious. It's great, by the way. Chapter 29 of CardsUnturned's Drabbles and Ideas. Give it a read if you're curious.
I read a story where Hangman meets Goose at The Hard Deck, and they become friends, but Hangman doesn't realize he's related to Rooster. The mission happens, Maverick invites Hangman to dinner at his house to celebrate and he has to turn him down to see Goose. Turns out they are all going to the same place it Goose introduces Hangman to Rooster as his new little brother. I cant remember the title or the author. Hopefully, someone can help me out here. I need to bookmark this if I can find it again.
Giving him the bird.
You know the finger.
