ok here's my hot magnus protocol theory: the gifted kids program was really a program meant to find a new archivist (which explains why gerry (eye-aligned) and sam (EYE-ALIGNED, SPEEDRUNNING GETTING HIS ASS CEASELESSLY WATCHED) were there) (and could also explain the artifact storage category of 'catalyst') and [error] is a failed archivist trapped beneath the archives until sam and alice unknowingly freed them.....
also sam still searching for answers for why he wasn't chosen even all these years later to the point where he has the voice of the ceaseless watcher's former special little boy egging him on tells me he may have been a better candidate for archivist than the institute realized. which. bad news for sam. great news for us, the viewers.

"i am good, but not an angel. i do sin, but i am not the devil. i am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love."
"i'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. i'm out of control, and at times hard to handle. but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
"the best thing that ever happened to me is that i am a woman. that is how all women should feel."
"it's better to be unhappy alone to be unhappy with someone."
"a woman knows by intuition or instinct what is best for herself."
"i don't mind living in a man's world as long as i can be a woman in it."
"i have feelings too. i am still human. all i want is to be loved, for myself and my talent."
"a smart girl leaves before she is left."
"i have had a talent for irritating women since i was 14." (real)
"imperfection is beauty. madness is genius. and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
"give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world."

Top Gun Fic Recs
some of the fics i really adored on my icemav dive 🩵
if you lead, i will follow by qin_ling (7.5k, M)
Maverick and Iceman stare at each other a lot. Goose despairs. Or; Goose is the best wingman.
who cannot go by susiecarter (1.6k, T)
Maverick felt fine. Completely fine.
Bloom by thecarlysutra (1.7k, T)
Iceman Kazansky is born with chronic Hanahaki Disease. Any time he represses a feeling or hides a secret, he has symptoms. He probably needs therapy, but instead he gets flowers.
Doing It Right by simplecoffee (1k, NR)
Mav kisses Ice on a Saturday night. Two days later, he wakes up in hospital. (- Wait, he could have sworn it made a little more sense than that.)
just to see each other (feel it all) by susiecarter (35k, M)
After Goose's death during a fight with a kaiju, Maverick left the PPDC and didn't look back. But his self-destructive bender gets interrupted by Charlie Blackwood, showing up to invite him to participate in a brand-new weapons development program, codename Top Gun: the first two-pilot jaegers to ever be deployed in the fight to defend humanity. That means Maverick's going to have to get back in a piloting rig again—and he's going to have to do it while drifting with another pilot. Drift compatibility means getting each other, understanding each other, on a level nobody else can beat; so whoever his partner is, at least he's not going to get stuck with the Iceman, who pretty much hates him. Right?
A Shared Cup by susiecarter (7k, M)
It was only a training exercise. It was only supposed to be a training exercise.
Summer Rain by TunaSupremacy (29k, T)
Mav isn’t entirely sure how he ended up dating Captain Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, but to his understanding it had something to with bad press, low recruitment numbers, and Admiral Cain.
and gamble for the sun by susiecarter (4k, M)
It's like this: Maverick and the Iceman make bets, sometimes.
Flowers for Sale by Owner by aelibia (2.5k, T)
Most people would do anything to stop the flowers from coming. Maverick is not most people.
i would love you ‘til it hurt by stardustsunflower (3k, T)
Ice looks at Maverick like something he can’t have. He knows Maverick won’t ever look at him back. Or at least, so he thinks.
and sings the tune without the words by susiecarter (10k, M)
Four times Maverick and Iceman didn't have to talk to each other to know the score—plus the time they did.
wingspan by aelibia (4k, M)
Iceman is in love. Maverick is oblivious. And the only thing in the world that can bring them together is locked up in a bathroom.
fire in the sky tonight by susiecarter (4.5k, E)
Graduation from TOPGUN was one thing. It was great, no question, but it was just the warm-up. You hadn't made it, really made it, until you got hitched.
