"Look, I've got forty-eight hours libo here and then I'm gone. You want the sales pitch? Find your campus recruiter. He'd be happy to give it to a middle-of-the-road, no-hair-out-of-place Ivy Leaguer like yourself."

"You want me to have sex with you?" Ice asks, certain his jaw is on the floor.
"I'm volunteering my body for science, in the name of friendship," Maverick says. "Whatever you want to do with said offer and said body is up to you."
(Or: Recently divorced Ice has a bi-awakening and wants to "experiment" with someone he trusts. Mav offers to be his sexual guinea pig. Things go about as well as you expect.)

Summary
Lex walked her to the door and spoke up as she was halfway through it. “What’s his name?”
Marcia stopped and looked back at him. “The child?”
Lex nodded.
“Connor,” she said with a smile. “Connor Kent.”
The temperature in the room seemed to plummet at the child’s last name, and for brief seconds Lex felt as if he were trapped and suffocating.
“Kent?” he asked in a forced casual tone. “By any chance… would his father be Clark Kent?”
The woman’s eyes lit up right before her smile did, and Lex’s stomach dropped out from under him.
“Yes!” she said happily. “You know him?”

Asking, Telling by rabbit-factory (LifetimeMovie) for aishii420
Fandoms: Top Gun (Movies)
06 Jul 2024

Summary
‘ASKING, TELLING,’ emblazoned across the front of the glossy magazine cover is the first thing that catches Maverick’s attention. When he processes the rest of the cover, bordered by that distinctive red frame, his heart freezes in his chest and his vision swims.
“Shit, Pete-” Ice’s voice is distant, second to the tunnel vision as he feels his ass hit the edge of the countertop behind him. He’s aware of the other man grabbing his shoulders, steadying him, but he can’t pull his eyes from the image on the cover.
It’s him- undeniably so. But more than that, it’s Ice.
***
In the wake of the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Ice and Maverick are unwittingly outed. Ice, master tactician that he is, knows an opportunity when he sees one.

Summary
Buck slaps the back of his hand against Eddie’s chest. “I even carried Eddie here once.”
Eddie’s entire demeanor changes as he finds a way to get Buck to focus on him again. “That was the adrenaline.”
“Well, yeah,” Buck admits. “But I could do it now, too. Do you want me to prove it?”
That’s the flirtatious tone that was missing earlier, and Hen immediately pays closer attention. Eddie makes a sound that Hen has never heard him make, and it takes her a second to realize that it was a giggle. A giggle! If only she could record this shit for Chim and Karen.
“No,” he says, not very convincingly.

Hen spends three weeks watching Eddie make a fool of himself in front of Buck.

Summary
Really, it was Lena’s fault. She’d been the one to demand a video when Eddie had finally caved and sent an SOS to the group chat asking if anyone was willing to trade.
“Is anyone interested in trading jerseys with me? Preferably for a smaller size,” Eddie had said because knowing his coworkers, one of them would’ve been a smart ass and gave him an even bigger size. “I ordered an XL because I’m usually a XL but… the way it fits makes me look like I’m fucking one of the players.”
Eddie wasn't trying to go viral. He just wanted to trade his jersey. But then something called Booktok got involved.

Summary
“Wait, you need a sitter?” Chimney says. Eddie nods. “Maddie’s brother got back in town a few nights ago, he’s looking for work.”
Eddie frowns. He doesn’t know much about this mysterious brother of Maddie’s – doesn’t even really know much about Maddie, either, aside from being Chimney’s girlfriend – but he’s pretty sure every time he’s been brought up in conversation it’s not been particularly inspiring. “Is this the brother who flunked out of college because he spent all his tuition on a motorcycle?”
Chimney colours a little. “Um. No?”
or, Buck babysits Christopher and Eddie is—fine about it, actually.
