Rob/Mitch + Please let me take care of you.
FRIEND! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ENJOY THIS FIC!
Rob never really liked filming on location. Not when the set was in some small town in Oklahoma with awful cell phone service. It was different when he was shadowing Les, but now he was out on his own. It was quite boring without Les.
If the movie itself wasn't going smoother than butter, Rob honestly would've pulled his hair out. Well, that and something else…
Every morning before he had to be on set, while the sun was just beginning to peak over the horizon, he stopped by the local diner. There was no way he could make it through the day without a cup of coffee.
Unfortunately, this place doesn't have the best coffee, hell it barely has enough sugar to make it bearable. But he heard from everyone around this was the best coffee in town, and there was no way he was going to go further out just for a cup of coffee, so he would have to just deal.
That is until the third morning. The waiter set down the cup and as Rob reached for the sugar packets he was surprised when he noticed a hand covering it.
"I already put in sugar for you." A calm voice stated.
Rob scoffed, "You sure it's enough?" He did in fact like a lot of sugar in his coffee.
It was only when he heard his waiter laugh that he looked up. If Rob didn't know any better he would think he was looking at a movie star. He must've been in his late 30s at least but it was hard to tell since his brown hair didn't have a hint of grey.
The waiter flashed a smile and something about it made Rob's heart somersault. How the hell was there a man this pretty serving him coffee?
"I saw how many packets you put in yesterday. I got some brown sugar instead, tastier than the packets." For a moment Rob wasn't sure if the waiter had winked at him, but his eyes seemed to sparkle either way.
Rob pulled the cup away from the waiter's hand and took a sip. Well, it still wasn't the best coffee but it was a hell of a lot better that's for damn sure. It was actually worth the price now.
He licked his lips to capture the flavor before smiling up at the waiter. "You weren't wrong about it tasting better than the packets…" His voice trailed off waiting for the waiter to reply with his name. 
"Mitch."
Rob smiled, Mitch huh? That wasn't the name he was expecting, but it was nice to have a name to go with the pretty face.
"Well Mitch,” Rob asked setting down his coffee cup, his gray eyes twinkling, “ what other nuggets of wisdom do you have cooking in your brain?"
Mitch's face lit up as he started to rattle off his favorite menu items and how he liked them prepared. Rob listened intently, it was rare to find a waiter in LA with this sort of passion for the food he served.
And it was at this moment that Rob decided that he was going to make sure Mitch was his waiter every time he came in. Hell, he was actually going to order the food. Any excuse to talk to this charming man even more, and any excuse to give him a big tip as well.
So for every day, Rob waited until he could be served by Mitch, and boy did it help his mood. Something to look forward to every day, a person he was happy to see and he thought Mitch was happy to see him as well. 
This thought was made much clearer to him that Mitch was happy to see him because he started asking him about himself. He asked for his name, when he got into town, how long he was planning to stay, that sort of stuff. Rob had told Mitch he was in town for work and Mitch asked if he was in town working on that film. Rob confirmed it. He didn’t tell Mitch he was the producer of the film. Some things are better left close to the chest.
Mitch must be a workaholic because he had been in for seven days in a row and Mitch had been there for all of them. At least he had taken a day off in the middle of those, but Mitch hadn’t. And that troubled Rob deeply…
On the eighth day, Rob is running late at has to skip breakfast, so he drops by for dinner. The last hour before closing, he didn't expect Mitch to be there, and yet-
"Mitch?" Rob looked up from the menu only to see an exhausted man, maybe it's the fact Mitch isn't covered in the morning light that Rob notices. Mitch's eyes are red and puffy, with dark rings around his eyes, a slightly red nose, and very pink ears. Signs of a man being sick maybe, maybe tired? 
"Dear," Rob began in a soft tone, "Are you sure you should be working?"
Mitch snorted, rubbing his eyes with the back of his wrist. "I am almost done with my shift."
"Do you always work full days?" Rob asked, glancing at his watch. Did Mitch work from five am to six pm? Is that even illegal? Say what you will about the film crew at least they got lunch breaks on top of standard ones. But… it's not like Mitch is in a union.
"No." Rob felt himself breathe a sigh of relief for a moment until Mitch kept talking. "I just picked up a double today."
Rob frowned looking at the menu. Before sighing softly, as hungry as he was he found it hard to focus on eating, even the idea of it when Mitch was clearly suffering. Rob stood up, "How much do you get paid an hour?"
Mitch blinked and took a step backward. Rob forgot how short Mitch was until he was standing over him. Rob tried his best to look smaller, which given his height was difficult. 
"Why do you want to know that?" Mitch asked nervously, rubbing the back of his ear. Rob noted how even now Mitch seemed uneasy on his feet. Had he not been sleeping?
Instead of answering him, Rob crossed his arms. He shouldn't need to say it. Mitch, as Rob had gathered by talking to him, was a man of great intelligence. He should know why.
Mitch's eyes flashed over to a door in the back. Voice was quiet, "I can't just leave."
There was a moment, where Rob debated if he really should push the issue. This action would have consequences for Mitch's job for sure. And yet, this really would be the best thing for him.
"I think you find you can just," Rob said firmly, his gray eyes resolute.
There was a long pause from Mitch. Before he swallowed, stuffing his hands in his pockets. "I need to clock out."
"Go. I will wait for you." Rob replied, all thoughts of dinner completely forgotten.
It should've taken a few seconds or so to clock out, but Mitch seemed to be moving extra slowly. Well, Rob preferred it that way, better than him rushing and passing out on the floor.
By the time Mitch gets back to him, he is noticeably less steady on his feet. Without saying a word Rob takes hold of Mitch's arm and guides him out of the diner. Not the way he imagined first holding Mitch, but he didn't have much of a choice.
"How are you holding up?" Rob asks as he watches Mitch intently.
"I just need to sleep," Mitch muttered.
Rob hummed for a moment, thinking. "I can drive you home, which car is yours?"
Suddenly Rob felt Mitch tense up next to him, something had shifted. "It's the sliver one over there." Mitch gestured to a small sliver hatchback, then swallowed, "I can drive myself… home."
"I don't mind," Rob said honestly. It’s not like he had much else to do tonight. Work could wait.
Rob was surprised when he felt Mitch jerk away from him, putting both hands on the hood of his car. "I do. I mind."
There was silence as Mitch collected his breath, his eyes shut tight. His voice came out much more shaky than before. "I...I like you, Rob. And I want you to keep liking me."
Mitch's hands curled into fists, "You can't take me home because I don't have one right now." He spoke hastily as if saying it faster made it easier to admit. "My landlord kicked me out two weeks ago and everywhere else is too expensive. That's why I have been working so hard."
Rob had walked over to Mitch, but again not towering over him,  but standing at a respectful distance.  His tone was gentle, "So you are living out of your car?" That explains the curtains in the windows.
Mitch nodded, and Rob was quiet for a moment, before reaching out and putting a hand on his shoulder. "I did that… when I was younger. Hard times just happen, nothing to be ashamed of."
Mitch finally opened his eyes to look up at Rob. His eyes were full of wonder, "You still like me?"
Rob blinked for a moment then let out a hearty laugh, "Of course I do. You are the most charming man in 100 miles, and they are filming a movie in town."
Mitch couldn't help but laugh along with Rob, even as his cheeks turned pink. 'If you say so."
"I do." Rob smiled gently, moving his other hand to Mitch's cheek, and cupping it. "Why don't we head back to my hotel? You can get some rest there."
"I- Are you sure? You barely know anything about me." Mitch said in amazement but Rob could detect a hint of worry in his voice.
"I know enough," Rob said plainly, he ran his thumb along Mitch's jaw. He spoke softly, looking directly into Mitch's bright green eyes, "Please let me take care of you."
Mitch stared into Rob's determined grey eyes before nodding. "Okay."
Rob had expected to be bored without Les, lonely without him, but instead, he found someone else. Someone who needed him just as much as he did. Who knows where it would lead. 
With any luck, he could convince the handsome man to come back to LA with him. Rob could hope anyway.

ethan and lane go to disneyland
I wasn't actually sure how to go about this prompt but i hope it's something along the lines of what you had in mind friend <3
-
Ethan had always wanted to go to Disneyland as a child. He’d recall begging his parents to take him ever since he could remember, but by the nature of their status as farmers it wasn’t a very achievable thing to want. He did end up going when he was in college during a spring break trip to California with Jack. 
The circumstances of this particular trip, however, were quite different. He had been sent out to reclaim a particular envelope at a dead drop by Tomorrowland. The enveloped in question held the financial information for a known arms dealer and his multiple foreign bank accounts. It was strange that the dead drop location was still in use, but apparently the agent who had dropped off the goods had no other choice Apparently During one of the expansions to Tomorrowland, the CIA had asked old Walt for hiding spot for state secrets. Given that it was the height of the Cold War, he was in no position to deny them. 
At the Tomorrowland Monorail station there would be a cubby space of some sort. Something trained eyes wouldn’t miss. He spotted the cubby space in the wall, right near the gate. Ethan grabbed the envelope and unsealed it to make sure it was what he was looking for. The was a sudden sense of unease building up in his chest as he heard footsteps approaching him.  
He shoved the envelope into his jacket as quick as he could. The footsteps stop as he turned, face going pale at the sight of the man before him.   “How the hell are you, here?” Ethan looked toward the man in front of him. If he hadn’t been a field agent for so long perhaps, he would have been more surprised. But given the nature of his work, and the ability for enemy organizations to regroup, Ethan understood that this was just another day in his life. 
Solomon Lane sighed heavily before stating “I should have expected this.” Ethan remained still weighing his options. He could fight Lane out in the open, getting banned from the park, and losing the money. He could just make a run for it. 
Lane looked back at him partly confused and partly amused. “There’s not going to be an easy way out of this is there?” 
“No,’ Ethan said in agreement, ‘And neither of us brought guns, right?” 
“Nope,’ Lane inhaled, pinching the bridge of his nose, ‘So now what?” 
Just as Ethan was about to answer, a park employee approaches them both. 
“Excuse me sirs, but you’re going have to move out of the way this part of the platform is off limits.” 
“Right, of course.” Ethan replies. Lane grabbed his arm and began to move them towards the exit, “Our apologies sir, come along love.” Ethan looked up at him bewildered at the cover Lane had chosen. 
“That was a bit unnecessary.” Ethan said. Lane kept his gaze straight ahead. “Better for the man to think we were having a row and wandered in a technically restricted area than the alternative.” Ethan sighed already feeling his blood boiling from frustration. 
Once they stepped out onto the park Ethan spoke up, still being dragged by Lane “We could just walk away from this; pretend we never saw each other and go back to our lives.” 
 “Ethan, unless either one of us has had a sudden and drastic change in personality, you know we’re not just going to walk away from this.”  Due to the amount of people in the park, the both of them begun to get jostled as they walked. The envelope falls to the ground, as it was not so secure inside his jacket. Ethan tried to get the envelope but is pulled down to the ground with Lane’s grip on his arm. Lane managed to pick up the envelope and pulled out the paper. 
Ethan saw the expression on Lane’s face change from his usual stoic to an annoyed grimace. He turns the paper over to Ethan, where there is a handwritten note. 
“Hey Ethan, the mission is already complete. Just thought you could use a vacation enjoy your day off.” -W. Brandt. 
Ethan would find this a kind gesture if he were alone. Given who’s ended up with he finds it mildly concerning that someone managed to leak a decoy mission. He sighs crumpling up the paper and putting it in his pocket. After the most dramatic 5 minutes of his morning, he was rather unsure of how to continue the day. He looks up at Lane, who is equally confused. 
Ethan shrugged, “Space Mountain, then?” Lane looks down at him, before he sighed out. “Yeah, aright. Why Not?”

just saw you reblogged the coffee emoji meme so ☕️ + edge of tomorrow (if you’ve seen that one already 👀 i’m too lazy to check LOL)
Okay, I am a hoe for time travel stories and I love this movie. I'm annoyed at myself for never seeing it in the cinema at the time, it wasn't the atrocious marketing which put me off I just wasn't into Tom Cruise at that point so never really sort out his movies, oh how that would change with TGM and one shot of him fixing a plane. ARMS!!!
Emily Blunt is a badass as Rita. My headcanon is that Rita went to private school and was a former head girl because to me she oozes that energy.
Bill Cage is not a bad man, because who wouldn't be terrified out their minds to go to war. And as I believe @rochc93 pointed out, when he first does a loop he immediately tries to save Kimmel and he does so over and over, even though one attempt kills him. He becomes a skilled soldier because he has to, and he fights because there is no other way to escape. Just... someone give that man a hug and put him to bed for the longest sleep of his life.
The humour of the film is *chef's kiss* and I love how happy Tom Cruise was when Graham Norton recognised the different types of screams for different deaths.
If I could eat the entirety of the farmhouse sequence I would. I LOVE that part so much and to me that is the point of the whole film. Cage doesn't find glory or redemption in battle, he finds it caring for Rita I MEAN THE MAN SPECIFICALLY PACKS THREE SACHETS OF SUGAR BECAUSE THAT'S HOW SHE LIKES HER COFFEE AND I CAN'T COPE WITH THAT.

AND THE LOOK ON HIS FACE!!! HE'S NOT ONLY BEEN CAUGHT OUT IN REVEALING THAT THEY'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE BUT ALSO HIS FEELINGS FOR HER!!!!

benthan, icemav, goosemav, ethan/brandt and ethan/luther for the ship bingo!
What a fabulous spread of ships! Thank you! <3 [cracks knuckles ominously]
In being consistent about my blog name, we'll start with the Mission Impossible gang.
[Mission: Impossible]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Benthan:
They are SUCH good eggs okay. I was a little skeptical at first (I hadn’t gotten access to 3 yet but I’d seen 4). But then I was fucking blown out of the water by dapper Benji and Ethan in Rogue Nation. The “Miss me?” And “Nice Tux”, followed up by Benji’s impassioned declaration that this is the job/it’s risks and that he is STAYING by Ethan’s side made it all click. The forfeiture of millions of dollars in blood money for his safety was the very sweet cherry on top of this whole thing. Benji is the true love interest of that whole thing by trope convention, I can’t argue otherwise.
They’re so good for each other in terms of understanding the risks and the life of a spy, but good goddd their relationship really is “Go to bed!” “… And what are YOU doing awake?” “Shit.” I love it to bits. Real “you should let me love you, let me be the one to give you everything you want and need” type shit.
Luther/Ethan: TRULY UNDERRATED!!! It has less of the overt romantic framing than Benthan in Rogue Nation, but I honestly think the freedom of emotional transparency and like. The implicit trust of having someone know you from the jump makes for a really sweet duo. Luther's softness and knowing questions, Ethan's snark and full belief in Luther. They each get a side of each other that their teammates aren't privvy to because that's just how history between two folks who go way back works.
I like 'em either way- romantic or platonic (they give me a very couch cuddler vibe. Just knocked out and squeezed onto the sofa). Just no matter what you do, acknowledge that they're best friends who've been to hell and back with each other for 26 years god darnit. The entire premise of Fallout was predicated on that bond!
Brandt/Ethan: Definitely not my cup of tea, but I respect it! I just think that they're the same kind of person in the ways that aren't compatible. Brandt is the bureaucracy bus and Ethan gets disavowed like every week. Two very different kind of managers in one room. There's a divorced vibe there, but in the 'we have never dated but the undercurrent of fond hostility remains between us at all times' way. Someone on here, I think it was @rochc93 that headcanon Ethan's hooked up with everybody on the team except Brandt and I AGREE. It’s just so much more fun that way for me.
[Top Gun]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
IceMav: See, I'm one off them uncultured folks who didn't watch Top Gun until I was an adult, so i had largely escaped the formative influence of pilot competition and locker room intimacy. But when I saw it? Man. Man, no pop culture reference could compare. Like whatever they had was REAL, it was real to me! Nobody was joking when they said that shit was gay. I didn’t think they were but I didn’t expect Ice to try and eat the guy alive with his eyes. I adore their relationship. As like, one part the testosterone in the air, and another part the fundamental differences in accomplishing the same goal and resolving the tension through understanding and acceptance of those differences. They fill in each other’s blanks… They play half naked volleyball. The rituals are intricate.
GooseMav: BEST FRIENDS BABEYYYY!!! Their friendship just jets the movie into this stratosphere for me, you cannot have Top Gun without Goose and Mav. I get this pit in my stomach every time I come up on his death scene because they were having so much fun! They’re the only family they have left!! Carole and Goose’s marriage and dynamic is just so wholesome to me that I see ‘em as the only one for each other. I love the intimacy of choosing your own family among friends for Goose and Maverick, it drives the point home so well. You don’t gotta love somebody romantically to grieve them as your lifeline to the world. I’m totally supportive of folks who ship it though, 80s masculine bonding is sacred.

warm
Apparently I don't use warm as often as i thought i did:
Abandoned Benthan WIP:
"It’s nightfall by the time Ethan is debriefed and able to leave from Langley. He hadn’t been home in a month, and all he wanted to do was to get home and wrap his arms around his partner and have a nice warm meal."
maybe i'll come back to this the prompt for it was cute.

ice and mav still keeping in touch after all these years. ice and mav keeping in touch to the point where even penny knows how important they are to each other. ice bailing mav out of trouble for thirty plus years. ice sending mav to topgun because mav believes in getting everyone home safe above all else and understands the importance of never leaving your wingman and ice knowing that that is integral to the success of the mission. mav and sarah being on such friendly terms with one another. the wingman hug. how’s my wingman. it’s time to let go. there’s still time. the wingman hug 2.0. the hand touch. who’s the better pilot, me or you? we had a good moment. let’s not ruin it. ice knowing exactly what mav needs to hear. ice never making mav feel bad for still being a captain. mav knowing that ice knows exactly what he needs to hear, that ice is right, that ice has mav’s best interest (and the interests of the kids) at heart, and mav taking his best friend’s advice to heart in turn, which leads to the success of the mission. the wingman hug. THE WINGMAN HUG.
