Honorary Mentions
gold rush by gamerring @asimmutableasgravity
All his life, Jake Seresin has wanted to live his life as loud as possible.
So that when he dies, people can place flowers on his casket.
When the light hits him, sunbaked and smiling and grinning. He's whole and happy and everything he could ever want. He bites down on his teeth.
Later, he hunches over the porcelain, petals falling out of his mouth, and is already one step in his grave.
-
Flowers, fighter pilots and the true fatality of your feelings spilling out.
Jake angst:)) And here’s another one from gamerring:
it's nice to have a friend by gamerring
"Will you marry me?" Ice is on his knees. His posture screams military, but his face is genuine. His eyebrows are furrowed in worry and a hesitant smile plays at his lips. The ring sits in a green velvet box. The band is gold and shiny, with a diamond inlaid in the middle. The rock seems to glow under the sunset, and Maverick's heart starts beating against his chest. This- it's spectacular. It's breathtaking.
It's not for him.
He bites his cheek for a microsecond, and then forces a smile."That's great. She can't say no to that."
And a traitorous part of his soul hopes she does.
-
Three times Maverick should have said something, and the one time he did.
Just read the summary:) (This is canon.)
Lessons in pushing boundaries by will_thewisp
Maverick never needed lessons in pushing boundaries. Not if those boundaries are about going faster, further or screwing up on an ever increasing scale, because he'd run off the edge of the world before he'd let a thought that scared him shitless take root in his mind. It was enough that it was already in his heart.
Or Maverick crashes the Darkstar and needs a very long time to learn that there's things that can and should be fixed. And that he's always had the tools to do it.
Don’t forget a tissue when reading this!
Amen by demiclar @demiclar
"What do you want done with your body when you die?"
Pete Mitchell grieves his best friend.
Can you tell I love Mav angst?:)
Vanilla Milk by Specter_Ross
After the mission, Rooster is struggling to sleep so Maverick pulls some old methods out from when Bradley was a kid, in hopes of helping him.
I never get tired of reading MavDad and Bradley:)
A Perch Built for Two by chase_acow @cowsalot
Rooster is well known for keeping his own company, but between Maverick's reemergence and the suicide mission, Hangman manages to weasel his way into Bradley's attention. He's never let an alpha so close to him before, but Hangman might be the best choice - experienced and unlikely to ask for more than Bradley was willing to give. Unfortunately for him, it's Bradley who wants more, and he has no idea how to ask for it.
Another win for Hangster!
A Little Unconventional by McDanno50
Maverick didn’t know how he ended up here a month after the mission – on his back with his legs spread for not one, but two, hungry alphas. These alphas wanted Maverick so much that they no longer fought but worked together all in the name of mutual pleasure. It felt too good to be true, like a fevered dream conjured up by a broken mind. But even if he couldn’t believe his eyes, he had four other senses to rely on.
A self-indulgent fic in which Omega!Maverick gets fucked by Alpha!Bradley and Alpha!Jake. That's literally it.
Mav/Bradley/Jake:)))))
Not Clamorous For Pardon by Arsenic @arsenicjade33
Okay, but what if the Navy didn't outlaw flogging as a punishment in 1896? Asking for a friend.
Another one of my favorite tropes: Mav being bullied by the Navy:(
still dangerous by cygnettine
Where was he?
Jake was to his right, Bradley in front of him, the girls between their dads.
Someone was missing.
He was missing.
Why was he missing? He was supposed to be there; that was a family dinner and he was family, he was his whole soul, why wasn’t he there?
***
Maverick loses himself and wanders helplessly in his own mind until someone finally comes to his rescue.
Mav has Alzheimer's Disease:(
take a chance on the edge of life by Lacerta
It was a suicide mission. Of course they didn't succeed on their first try.
-
When Maverick dies, he loops back to the morning before.
An Edge of Tomorrow AU. Love this one.
you've got the win in your bag by discosleaze @paulmezcal
“I’m going to go in and get something pierced, and if you’re a good boy, it’ll be my nipple. If you’re not, it’ll be my tongue.”
Speaking of tongues, Bradley just about swallows his. “Why would that be a bad thing?” he croaks out, not enjoying how amused Jake is, mocking, even.
“Well, Bradshaw, because I wouldn’t be able to blow you for weeks afterwards.”
Jake contemplates a second piercing, Bradley contemplates nothing.
asdfghfghjkjhgfdsadfg. This one’s too hot for me.
How Big? by thenofutureshoe
"Most people would have had to give themselves a pep-talk, most people would have been nervous or unsure of the whole thing, Maverick Mitchell was not most people. He was a fucking power bottom and proud of it. This was not his first rodeo, pun intended. And he always got his man."
Once Maverick hears the story behind Slider's callsign, it sounds more like a challenge than anything else.
This one… I never thought their difference in size could be this hot…
a dream of crashing by thefireplanet
Maverick buys a plane.
Somehow, this becomes Iceman’s problem.
THIS ONE’S NOT COMPLETED! But it’s still so fun to read and the characterization is spot on!
and the bunny goes 𝒽𝑜𝓅, 𝒽𝑜𝓅, 𝒽𝑜𝓅 by Meadow_Wanderer
Contrary to expectation, he rarely measures time by the number of years he's lived without his father.
Instead, he appraises in happenings.
Every birthday, school graduation, and precious firsts; every milestone passing as the memory of his father becomes fainter and fainter until finally he reaches the last occasion where the end and the beginning meet, the son and the sire a breath's width apart, like reaching to touch one's reflection in the mirror.
The very same one he'll face in just shy of a few hours.
Weird and fun!
you are not alone (i watch over you) by redwithlove
“Bradley, do you remember the time when you were eight and you wouldn't let me near your Pops for two days?”
“What, really? Why?”
“Yeah, for two whole days, can you believe it? And it all started over a can of Pringles.”
Or—Bradley with Ice and Maverick over the years.
Mav and Ice and Bradley being family:) My favorite genre of topgun fics:))
PHEW! That's all the fics I've got! Thanks for reading until the end! Don't forget to leave a comment on these fics if you enjoyed them!

OH MYGOD NOT TO BE HUMBLE BUT I AM A GENIUS self indulgent modern au idea
NO NO NO HEAR ME OUT!! Fanfic writer! S/o.
S/o who writes fanfic for stress relief and childe who unknowingly is their biggest fan on their blog
S/o who recognises That One Username that keeps reappearing on their notes and childe who can't help but like every single post (bc, idk maybe s/o writes for a niche that scratches an itch just right)
S/o who literally lights up for every single comment That One User leaves and childe who actually sits down on his desk and writes half an essay about their fics
S/o who goes "huh why not" and childe who wakes up to the jumpscare of being mutuals and literally falls off his bed ("oh my god am i the chosen one")
S/o who smiles happily at childe's antics and childe who goes out of his way to be extra sweet cause he's super happy
S/o and childe, who accidentally discover the truth while doing the "swap phones for a day" couple challenge
S/o and childe, who are literally all over eachother the moment they realise
(Bonus idea: Childe excitedly reading the fics to Legacy while he trills happily in the back of his mind help)
this is the most wholesome thing i've ever read and i aspire to be as sweet as Childe forever
it's actually a bit of a shock than neither of you knew, with how much time you spend together- in fact, some of your stories were written when you were sprawled across Childe's legs on the couch, both of you sitting in silent company. you secretly, unknowingly, bring such joy to each other, Childe smiling happily whenever he reads what your account creates and you feeling your tension ease whenever that same commenter leaves you a kind message. Foul Legacy LOVES the tales you weave, scratching at the back of Childe's head until he reads whatever you recently posted- sometimes he'd curl up in bed, a monster in a terrifyingly strange world, reading until he couldn't keep his eye open anymore. you'd find him in the morning, nestled in layers of blankets with Childe's phone nearby, and when you pat him on the head you're greeted by a warm, lethargic purr
to find out that you've been communicating online all this time, making each other happy through bad days and clouds and rain- Childe's eyes sparkle like stars
he runs to you only a few minutes after you swap phones, the screen of yours lit up with your account as he holds it out to you gleefully. you swallow, a tad embarrassed- is he going to tease you? you had decided to trust him enough to not make fun of you, if he discovered your account- but Childe just shakes his head, swiping on his phone cradled in your hands to his own profile- the very commenter that always brought a smile to your face without fail. you blink, staring at him in shock, and Childe's deep blue eyes shine happily as he peppers your face in little kisses. it's as far as he gets before there's a crackle in the air and you're scooped into Legacy's arms, the monster chittering and purring against your hair, whisking you away for some meltingly warm, impromptu cuddles. it seems you and Childe are fantastic at making each other happy, even when it's unintended

Heaven vs Hell
Which is worse?
Can horrible be measured?
Should Aziraphale have Fallen to be with Crowley? Is he selfish for not choosing to Fall like Gabriel when Gabriel tried to be with Beez?
Would they have a bigger chance to be together in Hell than being on 'opposite sides' on Earth?
I doubt it.
Was Crowley simply considerate to Aziraphale's attachment to being an angel when he decided not to take him to Hell after Aziraphale lied to Gabriel about Job's kids?
"No more world. Just endless Heaven or, depending who won, endless Hell.
Crowley didn't know which was worse. Well, Hell was worse, of course, by definition.
But Crowley remembered what Heaven was like, and it had quite a few things in common with Hell."
I feel like when I see people saying Crowley is respecting Aziraphale's desire to be an angel and avoiding/being scared of Falling; which (they assume/insinuate) would make it easier for them to be together, that they don't really respect Aziraphale's decision the same way as Crowley does (if it even is one), but blame Az for being selfish and choosing God and his angel status over his love for Crowley.
We don't know why Crowley Fell.
We have only his vague words for it. We don't know if anyone Fell ever again after the War. It was very likely a threat used over the angels though.
It didn't work for Gabriel. It must have been what he expected would happen.
However, he was going to have his memory wiped instead. For basically a treason.
Aziraphale seems to have thought it was a possibility.
Aziraphale MUST have expected punishment for giving away of his weapon. If not outright Falling here.
How long did he spend in anxiety over this?
And how long did Aziraphale sit here, wondering what Hell would be like and when it will arrive for him?
And ok but how BAD is Heaven exactly?
Is Aziraphale blind to how bad it is? Is he staying with them because he's loyal? Because he believes they are the light? The truth?
How long has it been since Aziraphale knew Heaven was not Good?
Apparently since before Angel!Crowley knew.
"You'll be amazed at the kind of things they can do to you, down there," he said.
"I imagine they're very similar to the sort of things they can do to one up there," said Aziraphale.
"Come off it. Your lot get ineffable mercy," said Crowley sourly.
"Yes? Did you ever visit Gomorrah?"
"Sure," said the demon. "There was this great little tavern where you could get these terrific
fermented date-palm cocktails with nutmeg and crushed lemongrass-"
"I meant afterwards."
"Oh."
Crowley loves his beautiful, soft, good, brave angel.
An angel who lies to his bosses when he thinks he can get away with it, who indulges in 'gross matter' even if it's frowned upon.
Crowley can't do good things openly.
And we see him struggle with that.
Why would he want this for his good angel who cares about strangers shooting each other in a game, saves babies in pushchairs and doves who accidentally asphyxiated in his sleeve, who waves away months of rent.
Yes, Heaven and Hell might both be awful places.
But that doesn't mean that good and bad things don't exist.
Nobody would call Muriel evil, right?
Not even Jim was evil in S2.
The nature vs nurture debate has a clear winner in his case.
I don't know if Free Will has rubbed off on Az and Crowley or they were always different. Made different perhaps.
Although, without Free Will, how did Lucifer make his decisions against God?
Back to our Husbands.
Crowley hates Hell. He thinks it's an awful place and the demons are terrible. He's afraid of them and avoids them as much as he can.
Aziraphale is extremely uncomfortable in Heaven. He has disagreed with many things they do for literal aeons. Has warned Angel!Crowley immediately when they met and has trusted demon Crawley with his sword story immediately as he met him even thought he lies to literal God about the very same thing shortly after.
Aziraphale lies to the Supreme Archangel and a bunch of others over Job. He's questioned them on those decisions as well.
He wonders if God is really asking for what they are saying She's asking.
Clearly he didn't have a way to ask Her directly back then.
And he couldn't get through to Her when the world was ending either. and he felt it wasn't right.
Aziraphale and Crowley are nobodies in their respective jobs.
Worse, they are pitied if not worse, for having jobs stationed on Earth.
Neither angels not demons care for humans, apart from them making up their numbers of acquisitions.
But our hereditary enemies are more than that from the moment they meet in Eden. And their bond only grows stronger.
The bond that brings them so much joy and so much anxiety and fear.
They stopped the Armageddon but it didn't give them the freedom they wanted, the one they deserve.
They spent more time together, yes.
But. Heaven, who after all came up with the idea of Hell, found a way to separate them.
How much of this was their personal decision and how much enforced, we won't find out until S3.
But Aziraphale didn't want Crowley to become an angel because he doesn't understand or see how bad Heaven is.
He wanted him to come because he does.
Because their love is what will save them in the end. What has always saved them.
Not Aziraphale's angelhood or Crowley's demon status.
Aziraphale's home is the one he built for himself and Crowley.
It's not really a place though. It's a bookshop for a while, a moment in history, but his home is them, looking into each other's eyes forever.
Because no thing lasts forever. But they might.
