Okay so I think just about everyone in both fandoms is aware of the "Ethan Hunt and Pete Mitchell are brothers" headcanon. I see this, and I agree, but I raise you "Tom Kazansky and Simon Templar are also brothers".

Imagine how that conversation goes down

"Hey so I have a brother I've never told you about."

"Yeah? Me too, actually."

"I don't see him very often, because he travels for work a lot."

"Yeah, same here."

"He also has a really dangerous job and regularly has to run or hide from people who are trying to kill him."

"...you're not gonna fuckin' believe this-"

For @topgundrabble and the prompt: departure

-

Ice looks around their house for the final time.

They're permanently moving into Maverick's hangar at the Inyokern Airport.

It's small, compact and the perfect retirement space, but it doesn't make leaving their house of 12 years any easier.

"Hey" Maverick whispers, "You're not regretting this are you?"

"I'm not, it's just-"

"Hard" Maverick finishes and Ice nods.

“There's so many memories." Ice murmurs and Maverick pulls him closer.

"There are," Maverick agrees, "But we'll make new memories in the hangar."

“I know."

"So," Maverick hooks his arm through Ice's "Are you ready to depart?"

Ice smiles, "Yeah, I am."

“Hangman only has like 5 minutes of screentime, how can you write a fanfic about him?” BECAUSE HE ONLY HAS 5 MINUTES OF SCREENTIME!!! DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH CREATIVE FREEDOM I HAVE?!? WHERE HES FROM, HIS PARENTS, SIBLINGS, I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!!!

like of course he was the star football player of his home town but also came from a household without a mom and a homophobic and disapproving father!! and he treats phoenix like hes an annoying older brother because he was the younger brother for so long!! maybe he wasnt!!! maybe he has a little sister at home!!! it doesn’t matter!!

HI TUMBLR, can you help a sci-fi girlie out? you’re all far superior + more valuable than the villain that is ai

i want to write something kindddd of like top gun but instead of following plane pilots, it’s spacecraft pilots. there’s going to be a lot of banter and fly-talk scenes over the comms like “keep delta-v expenditure below point five until… yada yada yada, do you copy?”

my question is: do you have any book recommendations for fictional books that have this sort of talk AND nonfiction books that talk about all that space-flight sciency lingo so i can swot-up better on it all?

thanks so much in advanced! <3

WIP Big Bang/WIP Reverse Bang 2026 - Round 4 Of Fic Claims & Art Claims Are Now Open

Round Four of art claims for WIP Big Bang/fic claims for WIP Reverse Bang is now open! You may claim as many fic projects and/or art projects as you want this round, and you may claim something for both event (ie, you can claim a fic for WIPBB as well as an art project for WIPRB). We currently have 73 projects up for art claims for WIPBB and 5 projects up for fic claims for WIPRB.

Here's one of our offerings!

Top Gun #128 Title: put my heart between your ribs Pairing/Characters: Tom "Iceman" Kazansky/Pete "Maverick" Mitchell Rating: Mature | M Warnings/Tags: No Warnings apply. some period accurate name-calling Summary: “What,” Maverick snaps, defensive, as Iceman sets his tray across from Maverick’s own in the mess for lunch. “Think I can’t hack it, Kazansky?”

“I never said that,” Iceman says dryly. “Just figured it might be good to get a change of pace. Might be fun to keep you on your toes a little longer, too.”

“Who’s to say it won't be me keeping you on your toes,” Maverick taunts. Iceman takes another bite of his lunch, nonchalant, and flicks his gaze down to Maverick’s untouched plate. He doesn’t rise to the bait.

“Eat your beans, Mitchell.”

or: Ice sticks around. (aka, the “it’s rotten work/not to me, not if it’s you” icemav fic I haven’t been able to get out of my head)
