Older Brother!Slider with Baby Brother!Ice

Okay, so another contribution rant to the Top Gun Fandom:

Big Brother Slider, but ONLY, ONLY to Ice. And not the generic sibling relationship, no, but Ice is his Baby Brother.

For any who don't have that 'Baby' Sibling, as an eldest child, let me explain: A sibling is a younger, less better, version of yourself because your parents were a bit delusional and now there is Another™.

HOWEVER, a Baby Sibling, a BABY Sibling? No, they are essentially your own child, typically the youngest, they are your pride and joy, and when I tell you that with a Baby Sibling you become so protective over them you would commit horrible crimes for them- literally becoming an attack dog on a leash held by said Baby Sibling, that is a true Baby Sibling/Older Sibling relationship. The minute they are born they're just, your child, like so what the birth certificate says that their parents are my parents, that's obviously a lie. They legitimately become your child in more ways than one, whose only role in life is to be happy and loved. And this is SO the relationship between Slider and Ice.

Ice is the Baby Sibling™, with Slider as the protective older brother. Slider makes sure that Ice is happy, and cared for/loved, protected, everything for the Baby™. I cannot explain enough how much I love this head-cannon, and all the proof I'll ever need to explain it is this one GIF;

Look at Slider, the protective arm around the shoulder, the glare, the judgement in his very being, the way his jaw tenses-, compared to Ice, who is just sitting there, not even noticing, focusing on something else all happy like (Or as happy as Ice can get while in Ice-man mode (Or as happy as one can get when translating languages, if you saw my other post about Russian!Ice ;D)).

Slider nearly getting kicked out of the Top Gun program due to beating a fellow pilot unconscious because he DARED shit talk Ice

So they never gave Slider a DOB/specified age in Top Gun, but his actor, Rick Rossovich is 2 years older than Val Kilmer, so that only furthers the point of Slider's Older Brother Agenda

One time Goose was showing Ice how to cartwheel after Ice was interested in how he did it on the deck of the ship they were stationed on and Slider refused to allow Ice to do it because "What if he falls and cracks his skull open on the tarmac Goose!"

When reassured that Ice cracking his skull open isn't going to happen, and Goose was only going to demonstrate, Slider still wont budge on it. Ice never learned how to do a cartwheel to this day

Ice's foot getting caught in the track and wheels of a stationary, not turned on/working tank on accident and one singular, quiet, whispered "ow" after pulling it out of said track/wheel, was all it took to have Slider screaming his head off carrying Ice into medical absolutely positive that Ice just "Broke his own god-damn ankle, GET A MEDIC-"

Someone shoving past Ice on their way to the mess hall in a rush, causing Ice to stumble back literally 2 steps, and Slider getting in their face, slamming them into a wall with a "I swear you put your hands on Ice one more time, your not gonna have hands AT ALL"

He then slings his arm around Ice's shoulder and directs him to the mess hall, glaring at any poor soul who dared look in Ice's direction

They were at the bar and a woman started to approach Ice, who, of course was not noticing (he only has eyes for a 5'7" gremlin named Mav), and Slider shuts that down REAL QUICK. Like, no, not today Lilith, pick a different naval guy-

Give Mav The Talk when he notices Mav giving eyes to Ice, and Goose because Slider can never be too sure, and everyone observing this is sitting there like 'what the actual fuck' after Slider threatens to, and I quote, "French braid your fuckin' nervous system you shitty dwarf" towards Maverick amongst other colorful threats

It gets to the point where Slider is so protective over Ice, people don't ask Ice anything without looking to Slider for some kind of acceptance or denial, like;

Hollywood: Hey Ice do you wanna- Slider, the coldest look ever seen, actively dropping the temperature in the room while promising a slow and tortuous death: Hollywood: -help me figure out this trajectory angle equation for this [classified] mission? Ice, absolutely oblivious to the entire situation: Sure? I guess?

Its single-handedly the funniest and most terrifying thing to ever happen in Top Gun history, aside from whoever decided to put Maverick Mitchell in a plane

And the cherry on top is that Ice DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE at the entire situation

When someone tries saying how terrifying Slider is to Ice he just brushes it off, like, "Oh Slider? No he's very nice, he even walks with me wherever I have to go in the day. He's all bark and no bite"

And everyone in the immediate vicinity just looking at Ice either with pity or like he's stupid because he doesn't know

He never figures it out either

(This overprotectiveness doubles, if not triples when he meets baby Bradley Bradshaw, and Slider just cant compute because now there is another person who has my undying love and protection-)

(Goose once lost Bradley on a very important, very large Naval destroyer and the entirety of the Top Gun Class of '86 is frantically searching the entire ship before Viper finds out and one of them just stumbling into Slider sitting on a couch with Ice and Bradley just absolutely passed out, sleeping like a brick, essentially using him as human furniture, and the look Slider gives them promises a 100 years of death if they wake either of them up-)

(After Goose's death when baby Bradley lives with IceMav, he just clings onto Slider whenever he's over because "I feel safest with Pops, but Pops feels safest with Uncle Sli', so I'm safest-est with Uncle Sli'")

(Mav doesn't know whether to cry because that is so cute- or be annoyed that Slider is preferred over himself)

(After Bradley reconciles with Mav, he's caught sleeping(read absolutely dead to the world) on Slider's chest like when he was as a child and no one knowing what to do because "Rooster that is a 2-STAR ADMIRAL OF THE US NAVY-" Slider is just like "I'm safest-est", and Bradley sleepily chiming in with a "safest-est" and deciding to just go back to sleep like nothing happened)

When Slider first sees Bradley, he doesnt make the connection that he is Goose's son, and instead thinks he is Ice's son.

Then comes the realization that he shovel-talked Mav for no reason

"Toma Mikhailovich Kazansky you tell me right now why you never told me you had a child-"

Slider doesnt realize/accepts that Bradley is Goose's son until Carole physically comes and confirms it, with birth certificate and everything, "Because its easy to have some sort of extra-marital affair Goose, you should talk to her about that, not to tear you apart but Bradley and Ice look exactly alike-", and she thinks its the funniest shit-

Also because as a child Bradley looks EXACTLY like Carole Bradshaw, who is also a (bleached?) platinum/light blonde ("and the blonde has to come in SOMEWHERE Goose-"), in all honesty you couldn't fault Slider for not making the proper connections

"YOUR son? Yeah right Goose, I wasnt born 2 minutes ago, Im not stupid, you and Baby Ice look nothing alike"

" Baby ICE?? IT SHOULD BE BABY GOOSE-"

Goose thought it was funny to begin with but now 3 different squadrons and several of the higherups, INCLUDING VIPER OF ALL PEOPLE, believe that Bradley is Ice's son

("Kazansky"

"Yes sir?"

"You be sure to bring that boy of yours around more often, clear?"

".. Yes sir")

It doesn't help that Bradley absolutely ADORES Ice, and where Ice is, Slider is surely to follow with his Baby Ice Agenda-

"Listen, unlike you, Goose, there are only 2 platinum blondes I have ever known that have some sort of connection in the Navy, Bradley and Ice, its a logical explanation okay-"

Adding onto the entire situation, Bradley misheard Ice's callsign, and thinks his callsign is IcePOP, instead of IceMAN, and just starts calling him Pop/Pops

Maverick finds the entire situation hilarious, until he realizes that his throne of Favourite might be taken by Ice and starts going absolutely feral over trying to "win" Bradley back

Bradley just loves being around everyone, and has no favourites (unless bribed to say otherwise)

Bradley is just happy to see his Dad, and Pops, and Uncle Mav, and Uncle Sli, and Uncle Wood, and Uncle Wolf, and Grandpa Viper-

Time for a shameless plug, but here is another contribution to the Top Gun fandom, a 2.9k angst (hurt/comfort, because im not a monster) fic centering about Mav and his grief process

Big Brother Slider, the true Mom Friend™

So we all have that friend, who is 100% the mom friend. And listen, are both Slider and Ice little shits of their own devices? Yes, but i'd say that Ice can be a solid Mom friend, when needed. BUT, when with Slider it just goes out of the window, and pair that with Big Brother!Slider, and you have one hell of a head cannon there.

Every time that they go to the bar, Slider doesn't even leave Ice's side, guards his drink like a feral dog, and rounds Ice up when it's time to go home

Stops Ice from having fun recklessly endangering himself

Once at the bar Ice was on his 5th Whiskey sour before a table sent over 3 shots of tequila, Ice smiled and brought one up to toast, and using his mom senses common sense, Slider abandons his chat with Goose and is at Ice's side in about 3.5 seconds saying "no no no no" takes the shots and whiskey sours out of his hand and drags Ice home

Nearly had an aneurism when he found out Ice let someone else (Goose) drive him somewhere

"YOU LET SOMEONE DRIVE YOU? WHAT IF THEY WERE TRYING TO KIDNAP YOU? KIDNAP THEN KILL YOU!? YOU KNOW PEOPLE HAVE A THING FOR YOUNG BLONDES" "WE WERE BOTH GOING BACK TO BASE, AND IM 24" "SO?? YOU'RE PRACTICALLY A BABY" "IT WAS GOOSE! AND YOU'RE ONLY A COUPLE YEARS OLDER THAN ME" "AND?? HE HAS A MUSTACHE! YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU'D TRUST SOMEONE WITH A MUSTACHE??" "YOU WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME!" "SO??"

Slider always, ALWAYS has snacks and Capri-Suns on his person incase Ice gets hungry

It's like clockwork, every time Ice starts to get hungry, hangry, cranky etc. Slider is there handing over a Capri-Sun and some carrot sticks or apple slices

"Well maybe if you didn-" Ice starts before being interrupted by Slider shoving an apple slice into his mouth mid sentence, and stopping what seems to be the next arguing match between him and Maverick in it's tracks. Ice just glowers at Slider with a pout and starts chewing on his apple slice. "I told you not to skip breakfast, now you're gonna be cranky" "Bite m-" and once more Ice is silenced with an apple slice, as Goose and Mav along with the rest of the flyboys watch on in fascinated horror as Ice's temper is swiftly and expertly derailed by Slider and his apple slices. When they're finished Slider promptly procured a Capri-Sun from somewhere and quickly shoved it within Ice's hands before he had a chance to protest. "No" Ice said looking at Slider "Drink it" "No" "Ice" "I don't want to, so im not" "Toma Mikhailovich so help me god" Slider starts, pinching the bridge of his nose, and Ice just huffs and starts to drink. The flyboys never recovered from this.

Once when filing paperwork Ice got a paper cut, as people do, and the cut is small but the tiniest, tiniest, itty bitty drop of blood wells forward and Slider already has a portable First Aid kit spread out on the desk, Neosporin on a bandaid before being wrapped around Ice's finger and Ice doesn't even blink

It's a whole 10 second ordeal and they just continue on with their lives like nothing happened

Ice coughed once after accidentally being caught out in the rain and Slider straight up commandeers the kitchen to make more soup than Ice could ever possibly consume fully convinced Ice is coming down with something

Admittedly, Ice did in fact get the flu, but Slider was too concerned to say "I told you so"

Despite everything, Slider and Ice (platonically) love each other, and Slider is 100% the mom friend between the two of them

If I forgot anything feel free to tell me!

Maverick finds out Y/n died just a week after Goose. You His sister but married Goose

Viper: hello is this Pete aka Maverick?

Maverick: yes

Viper: We regret to inform you that your sister Y/n Bradshaw past away in action she died a hero.

Maverick: wha....what..... no..... what about little Bradley?

Viper: well since both his mother and father are dead he'll either go to you or a orphanage.

Maverick: I'll take him....

Maverick and Goose in jail

Maverick: who are we supposed to call?

Goose: I'd say Y/c/s but I'd feel safer in jail

Goose didn't die

Characters Bradley( Rooster), Y/n and Nick ( Goose)

Y/n : DAD BRADLEY IS BEING MEAN TO ME AGAIN!

Bradley: I AM NOT

Poor Goose who doesn't want to pick a side

Nick : Go tell your mother

Y/n : I did and she said to tell you

Nick: CAROLE OUR KIDS ARE FIGHTING AGAIN!

Characters Nick Goose Bradshaw, Bradley rooster Bradshaw, Y/n Bradshaw and Carole Bradshaw

Y/n is 4 and Bradley is 6

Y/n up past her bed time

Y/n : dad I had a bad dream can you read to me?

Nick: of course my little princess

An hour after Nick got Y/n back to sleep

Bradley: daddy

Nick : what is it buddy?

Bradley: I thought I heard a sound under my bed will you come see?

Nick : of course buddy.

3 hours later

Y/n & Bradley: daddddddd.

Carole: kids let your poor father sleep

Idk what haters think I think Carole is hot

I mean look at her she beautiful

A mother's dying wish.

Pairing Nick Goose Bradshaw x wife reader. Bradley bradshaw x mother ( Bradley's mother) reader

Summary Y/n has throat cancer like her brother Iceman only problem is she doesn't make it as long as he does and she has one last request for Maverick and Ice.

Warnings death, throat cancer, shit writing because it's almost 2 am and I could sleep oh and mentions of being in the hospital

none of the gifs belong to me.

" Hey Y/n how are you?" Maverick a good friend of mine. " I'm as good as I can be right now. " I replied holding Bradley in one arm and trying not to fall apart in front of him. I had just lost my husband and Bradley had lost his father but he was to young to understand that.

"Here I'll take Bradley and you can have some alone time with Goose." Maverick said and I agreed. I fell infront of Nick's grave. " Hi my *cough cough* love I *cough cough cough * miss you. " I said my throat hurting. " Y/n?" A voice asked from behind me. " Hi Icebro. " I replied. " You’re not ok are you?" Iceman asked. " Not even a little." I replied. " I'm trying to stay strong for Bradley but between the heartbreak of losing Nick and my throat cancer I don't know how much longer I'll last. " I said breaking down in Tom's arms. Tom just held me. It reminded of when we were younger he'd always hold me when I was upset.

6 years later so Bradley is now 10

Y/n in the hospital. " You'll be ok right mommy?" Bradley asked. " Of course I will my little crazy Rooster. " I said. " Thank you for bringing him to see me Icebro. " I said and gave him a sign to leave because I wanted to talk to Mav alone. " Of course sis. Come on Roo let's go get ice cream. " Iceman said. " But I want to stay here with mom!" Bradley replied. " We can come back after we get ice cream. " Iceman said and Bradley agreed. Neither of them knowing that would be the last time they both saw her alive.

" Mav I need you to promise me something. " I said in what was barely a whisper. " Anything. " Maverick replied. " Promise me that you won't let Bradley become a pilot. I don't want him to die like his father. Tell my son and brother I love and I'm sorry. Mav this is for you Thank you for always being there when I needed you the most. " I said.

And with that I took my final breath finally joining my Goose after 6 painful years without him I would finally get to see him again.

Y/n putting on their dad's Hawaii shirt since it's their week to wear it.

Bradley: hey Y/n have you seen dad's....... aww come on I was going to wear that

Y/n : but it's my week to wear dad's Hawaii shirt

“we are top gun” ahh edit (i miss top gun)

This scene is not nearly talked about enough. You CANNOT tell me they made this bet before and Mav flirted with a guy before, I mean look at that smirk he gives when goose specifies. I need someone to write that for me, I can write fanfic for shit but I want this.

Finished Goose’s!

(Gonna make Iceman’s next when I get the right blue).

Besties forever.

Goose: Mav, you want to know who the best is? That's him: Iceman. It's the way he flies, ice cold, no mistakes.

Maverick looking at Ice: "Helpless" from Hamilton starts playing.

"I should have asked you questions, I should have asked you how to be. Asked you to write it down for me. Should've kept every grocery store, receipt, 'cause every scrap of you would be taken from me."

I don't know if someone's done this already, but it wouldn't leave my head, so imagine this: A Mamma Mia Icemav/Hangster fusion.

Jake is Sophie, Maverick is Donna, Bradley is Skye, Goose is Rosie, Penny/Carole is Tonya, and Ice is Sam...

Having some thoughts about Mav's favourite song post-TG being "Running Up That Hill" because he wishes he could exchange places with Goose and that he died instead of him.

Happy Father’s Day to Rooster’s dads- Ice; Mav; and the Heavenly Father Himself, Goose!

(Carole took the picture 😘)
