au in which Mav is Ice's soulmate in every single universe, but Ice isn't Mav's in most of them. Black and colourful ink on his body doesn't stop Ice from loving him in every fold of the universe.
(au in which Mav meets more than one Ice after an incident, and they all share their part of the story, and they all have a part of their Mav imprinted on their skins. Mav finds himself hoping to wake up to run far away from Ice as possible but straight between his arms at the same time.)
watched hot shots! recently, and what a fucking fever dream that was. absolutely insane. but what was even more insane was whatever the film's equivalents of Maverick and Iceman had going on, because the vibes there were far from straight.

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.
