You die while they're Working Headcanon

*This is sad but I couldn't resist, it's been in my draft much like... every other thing I want to write

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake

- He wouldn't know until a couple of hours after he was back on the ground after training

- He was in the air, acting cocky as all hell

- It was a normal day like nothing was different

- Beau was the one to get the call

- Bradley was the one to tell him

- And when his frenemy told him about the news, it takes him a couple of minutes before all the information clicks

- The poor man wouldn't know how to console him or calm Jake as the tears pool in the Texan boys eyes

- Jake's legs give out and he's going down

- Bradley catches him and his suit is sticking to him as he lets the man begin grieving

- No one’s ever seen him this way

- He was quiet in the sky whenever it was his turn

- It was hard for him to process but eventually the Hangman everyone knew slowly began to return but the spark in his eye was gone

- Everyone knew it might not ever come back and felt bad they couldn’t do anything about it

Bradley

- He had yet to take off

- Pete got the call

- Natasha was in the room with him but the older man felt it was his duty to tell his godson

- She understood and felt the same way

- Another reason why her best friend didn’t see her that morning

- Bradley had no idea what Pete was going to tell him

- Then the words came out and he did nothing

- The poor boy- he just stood there, unable to move and then came the water works

- His mustached quivered before he sniffled

- This is the second worse thing the two men have ever heard and had to deal with in their lives

Bob

- He wasn't told until the end of the day

- He had a gnawing feeling in his stomach all day but couldn't put his finger on why

- Beau got the call

- No one could figure out who should tell him (out of Beau, Pete, and Bernie)

- There was no way they were going to drag Natasha into this

- They didn’t even know if she would be able to tell him because Pete and Bernie know that she introduced the two of you

- And them talking with the door open was one of the worst things they could have done

- Bob walked by the door as they were still trying to figure it out and almost lost it right then and there

- Instead, he was running on his emotions and stormed into the room, demanding answers

- Something he instantly regretted doing

- The Vice Admiral sent him home, giving him time to try and collect himself

Javy

- He didn’t know until after he came back from his recent deployment

- Bernie got the call with his friend in the room

- And that’s when Jake decided to take matters into his own hands (with permission because this is such a serious matter)

- He’s the first face Javy sees after taking a shower

- He has barley finished getting dressed when he felt something off with his friend

- Jake lets him start the conversation before he explains to him the news he’s just learned

- They sit on the bench in front of the lockers as Javy stares at picture he has of the two of you in his locker

- It takes him a few weeks before he is comfortable enough to come back to base a little better

- You know, not crying anytime anyone asks if he’s okay

Natasha

- She wasn’t meant to be on base but here she is

- The base mail guy tried to send it to her but didn’t know where she was and Bob happened to walk by

- He passed the letter to him and ran off

- Bob wasn’t trying to he nosy but when he saw a familiar phrase on it, he knew something bad had happened

- He ran to find Pete because he doesn’t want to tell the other members of the squad

- The man didn’t know what Bob was going to tell him, he very much wasn’t expecting this

- Pete opens the letter and skims through it, finding that it was about you

- He knows everyone is going to be devastated and feels it would be better coming from him

- Bernie was in the room with him and he makes sure Bob is nearby in case she needs a familiar face

- Bernie would have done it but he doesn’t know if Nat would want to listen to him after

- She knew something was off when she got here, it was her day off and she’s here

- She missed spending time with you to be here

- She takes a leave of absence which everyone understands

- It takes Beau threatening to discharge her for her to go in the air again

Neil

- Beau got the letter and felt he should be the one to tell him

- Poor guy was so nervous when he got called in by the big man

- He didn't know what was going to happen

- Logan was hyping him up by saying he was going to be promoted or something of that extent

- It was awkward when he sat down but then the words came out of the admiral's mouth and his world fell apart

- He honestly didn't believe him at first

- But that letter slid across the way and he knew it was real

- His life wouldn’t be the same

- It took everyone a minute before they realized it was something serious

- Nothing could have prepared anyone for this

Callie

- She was getting ready for practice when it happened

- Beau got the call but thought Bernie might be the better choice

- She was confused when he called her and pulled her outside their “hangout” room

- She slid down the wall after he told her

- It was the worst thing she could have heard

- Even for her fellow squad mates

- They weren’t trying to listen, but it was hard not to put two and two together with all the commotion coming from outside the door

- It took a while before she came back to work

- Sticking with paperwork for a bit before trying to get back into her plane

- She saw your old plane and decided that’d be it, she’d fly it

- It was the only thing that could bring her some sort of comfort

- Beau wasn’t to upset when she decided to fly it (more than her own)

- The only reason was because his seniors were on his ass about it, but he understands what she’s going through

Logan

- He didn’t know what was going to happen that day but he could sense something was going to change his life

- It was like a back and forth game between the three men when they tried to figure out who should tell him the news

- They decided to have Beau call him in do they could all tell him

- He felt like a kid being called to the principals office

- The squads comments didn’t help either (it was just before they needed to start training)

- He waited, for what seemed like hours, before Beau said anything

- He lost it when he finally heard and didn't know how to act when he got back to everyone

- Callie made sure everyone took turns checking on him

Billy

- He thought everything was fine… until it wasn’t

- Bernie had to tell him, he didn't have to talk to Pete or Beau. He thought it'd be better coming from him

- The two talked and stayed together for a few hours before he decided it was time to go home and take some time off to process and grieve

- He didn’t think that he should tell anyone (not wanting to worry them

- Everyone found out because Pete and Bernie were worried about him

- Pete didn't want him to go through this alone and feel as though he had to

- He was not alone for even a second

- Everyone came his way, offering food, a place to say, etc, etc

- No one was upset with his brief leave, they understood and wanted him to come back when he knew he could be in the air and his mind not be elsewhere

Mickey

- He still doesn’t know what happened exactly, even now when he thinks back or has nightmares

- He thought Beau and Pete were surprising him with something else when they told him they needed to see him as soon as he landed

- He was one of the few up for a new position and this was the worst thing he could have ever heard

- He waited till he was alone before breaking down in the locker room

- No one knew what he did until was he found by Jake

- The blond was thrown off and knew something bad had happened, kept the poor distraught man at bay until Reuben could get there

- His friend drove him back to their shared apartment and let him cry before explaining what happened

- Natasha got everyone down to the bar so they could hold a private ceremony in your honor. They all loved you and they needed to grieve with him

- It was a while before he decided he was done being on desk duty

- Natasha grabbed him by the collar and threw him into her plane so they could practice

- Bob got him a collectable item the two of you wanted when your one year anniversary came up and he teared up

- It was a while before he started dating again, not being able to see your face or hear your voice made it harder

- He added a letter he'd written to you in the early years of your relationship to his locker and it was his lucky charm

Reuben

- He hoped that everything would be fine

- But when he saw Pete walking down that hallway in his fast and serious manner, he knew it had to do with you

- The squad has never seen this man cry (sober, of course). So, imagine how they'd feel when they heard the news

- Only reason they found out was because Pete was holding him while he wept and kept begging for you

- They couldn’t leave him behind because they know how hard it is to go through grief whether you’re on your own or not

- When it first happened, Mickey made sure he ate when he was at home

- He took a few months off to fully grieve you so he could make sure his head was in the game and not hurt anyone

- The others made sure he never went to bed or woke up with an empty stomach

- They're the only ones keeping sane throughout the wake and funeral but he's happy he has them by his side otherworldly who knows what would have happened to him

Brigham

- None of the older guys wanted to talk about it but couldn't put it off forever

- When he was called into the Beau’s office, hearing this devastating news is not how he thought he was going to start training

- Bernie was the the one to tell him but Beau was in the room with him, explaining that they understood if he needed some time off

- It was a couple of hours until the rest of the squad heard about it because they were all training before him

- When they got back, they teased him for not being there until he told them with little to no emotion

- Logan and Neil checked on him constantly

- Natasha got everyone together so they could through a small potluck in your honor because everyone loved you and knew you two were meant to be

- They were excited when his name was on the board to practice and practically threw themselves at him as they hugged

Ice projects the room because, sometimes, he likes to watch up to the sky without having to actually going out. The floor is coverd by a tick soft carpent that calls for naps. More than once he dosed off and woke up the morning after with Maverick cuddling him and a blanket shilding both of them from the bad weather and the light coming from the glass roof.

After the mission it becomes the kids favourite place to hang out during the nights where they're all to tired. It's routine, this days: they all twelve come around for lunch or dinner, sometimes taking food with them and sometimes not, eat, clean the table and fhen disappear in the den. After a couple of hours, if they come over for dinner, they're already sleeping, cuddling in weird positions that makes Mav's back hurt, but always liked one to another by an arm, a leg o a foot on the stomach. After the first couple of times the older men started leaving blankets and pillows because they both know how cold it can get up there.

(Mav has photographic evidence of them cuddling all twelve together. And he has a backup of the photo and so does Ice and so does their entire '86 class because look! A puppy pile! wasn't something to lost.)

Dagger Squad Random Headcanons: Cars

I've literally had this floating around in my head for ages now and it's the dumbest shit ever, but anyhoo I went to the trouble of figuring out what kind of car everyone who isn't Maverick would be cruising around in when they're not airborne. So, without further ado-

BRADLEY "ROOSTER" BRADSHAW: 1966 Ford Bronco

I mean c'mon, we literally all saw him roll up to the Hard Deck in this thing

Old soul, old truck

JAKE "HANGMAN" SERESIN: Lifted 2020 Ram 2500 Diesel

If this doesn't scream "Texas pilot with a huge ego" I don't know what does

There's probably a Cummins sticker on the back window

DIESEL OR DIE

NATASHA "PHOENIX" TRACE: 2020 Jeep Wrangler

Badass but understated

Doesn't need the bells and whistles to get shit done in this thing

ROBERT "BOB" FLOYD: 2021 Subaru Impreza Sport Hatchback

A sensible car for a sensible boy

Definitely sprang for the manual transmission

Most likely silver or dark gray

JAVY "COYOTE" MACHADO: 2017 BMW 330i

Let's be honest he got this for the sound system

Style with *some* substance

Living his best life in his fancy foreign sports car

MICKEY "FANBOY" GARCIA: a *heavily* modified 2009 Nissan 370Z

Less of a car, more of a personality piece

Nismo AF

Regularly replaces the tires because he's doing burnouts and donuts in a parking lot somewhere

REUBEN "PAYBACK" FITCH: 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty King Ranch

Big, red, and fabulous

Work truck in name only

Definitely got this for the cushy interior (we love a man who treats himself to the finer things)

BILLY "FRITZ" AVALONE: 2021 Toyota Tacoma

I headcanon Fritz as being from Hawaii

What does everyone drive on-island? TOYOTA BABY

Definitely part of the 'Yota Mafia

3-inch lift for optimum coolness

BRIGHAM "HARVARD" LENNOX: 2020 custom Jeep Wrangler

Unlike Phoenix, Harvard *does* need the bells and whistles

Total Barbie Jeep

Polished regularly with a diaper

Definitely allergic to dirt

LOGAN "YALE" LEE: 2016 Toyota 4Runner

Dude's probably a dad

Ergo, dad car

He's had this thing for a hot minute but he babies the shit out of it

NEIL "OMAHA" VIKANDER: 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

If anyone's gonna have the token service member's hot rod I guess it would be him

Has to rev it every time he starts it up

Has racked up an absurd amount of speeding tickets in this thing

CALLIE "HALO" BASSETT: 2020 Lexus ES

A bad bitch car for a totally bad bitch

Iced coffee is a permanent fixture in the front cupholder

Smells like Endless Weekend from Bath and Body Works

the night of nights

Summary- The Dagger Squad plus Mav and Ice get invited to the Met Gala (Based on a conversation @mvngokkwritings, @skiddit, @marianatrenchprobably, and I had)

Wordcount- 1,761

The first May of the month. Everyone has been waiting for this day ever since the last one. The themed carpet covers the steps of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art as it waits for celebrities, politicians, and designers to walk on the steps as their pictures are taken. The off-white carpet with red, white, and blue stripes drawn along it matched the theme for this year’s Met Gala: "Serving America: Fashion from the Past to Present”. Fans from all over New York crowded in front of the Carlyle Hotel behind the barricades, waiting for celebrities to come out of the hotel in their outfits.

Currently, in the presidential suite of the Carlyle Hotel, the Dagger Squad along with their captain and his husband were getting ready for this event. All of them were still freaking out that they got the chance to be invited to this event. Over the past years since the mission, all of them would crowd in Mav and Ice’s theater room- yes they have a theater room, they have that type of money- and watch the live stream. All of them would boo at all of the men that would come in the basic black suit and tie while they cheer for the women and the men who actually made the effort of not wearing the black suit. After the live stream, all of them would dream of going to the Met Gala and meeting all types of celebrities while munching on food, and sipping on the most expensive champagne ever. Now they get the chance to go to this event as representatives of the US Navy.

*Back in December*

The squadron sat in the classroom and waited for their captain to come in for the last-minute meeting.

“Does anyone know what this meeting is about?” Omaha asked.

“Rooster?” Everyone looked at the mustache man.

“How am I supposed to know?” Rooster shrugged his shoulders. “Mav doesn’t tell me everything.”

“Please tell me it’s not another suicide mission,” Ruben groaned.

“Don’t worry, it’s not.” Everyone stood up when they heard Mav’s voice. “Sit down.”

Everyone sat down and Mav sat on one of the empty tables than standing behind the podium.

“I’m going to be straight to the point and tell you that we have been invited to the Met Gala in May,” Mav told them.

“What?!” All of them questioned.

Everyone started to throw Mav a bunch of questions which he tried to answer but told all of them to shut it and he’ll answer them.

“Look, the theme is Serving America: Fashion from the Past to Present and it showcases fashion in America from the Revolutionary War to now,” Mav explained. “Anna Wintour asked the SECNAV if the Navy is willing to send one of its best squadrons to help raise money and they asked Ice if he could send us. Ice and I talked about it and it’s a good idea. It’s just up to you guys if you want to go.”

“If any of you say no, you’re out of the squad,” Hangman threatened.

“You don’t have that power, Bagman,” Phoenix replied.

“That’s true, but we all know who does,” the Texan looked at their captain.

“Yeah, Ice wouldn’t do that,” Mav shot the idea down.

“I was talking about you but okay,” Hangman shrugged his

“Well, that’s the meeting. Please get back to either Ice or me by the end of the week,” Mav told them. “Now, you’re all dismissed.”

All of them said their goodbyes and left the classroom filled with excitement.

*Present Day*

After months of preparation and talking to designers, everyone got into their outfits after getting their hair and makeup done.

“Phoenix, Halo, you two look amazing,” Ice complimented them.

Halo donned an outfit created by an indie Asian fashion designer that represented her Asian heritage and gave homage to her family who immigrated here from their homeland. Phoenix on the other hand is wearing a dress resembling the dresses from the 1940s but made out of old uniforms from the Navy. The guys, on the other hand, it was a mix. Harvard, Fanboy, Payback, Fritz, Omaha, Coyote, and Yale wore intricate outfits which represented them in the Navy but also represented them in some way. Bob went kind of a safer route with a lavish suit with a bolo tie still. Rooster and Hangman, on the other hand, are completely on opposite sides of the spectrum with their outfits.

“Please tell me that you’re not going to the Met Gala in that,” Phoenix laughed as she saw Rooster walk into the room with his outfit on.

“What?” Rooster questioned. “What’s wrong with this?”

“It’s too basic,” Fanboy explained as he adjusted his shirt. “We constantly roast all of the men that come in basic black suits and now you’re one of those men.”

“What do you want me to wear then?” The mustache man questioned. “My Hawaiian shirt with jeans?”

“Yes!” Everyone in the room exclaimed.

“Let’s just hope Hangman-” Omaha was interrupted when Hangman walked into the room.

So many thoughts came into everyone’s head when they saw him. One of them was how did the Navy approve his outfit. It took a lot of convincing to let Mav and Ice add some sparkle to their uniforms. All of them wondered how much convincing it took them to approve of Hangman’s outfit.

Hangman donned a sleeveless leather vest with a short-sleeved dress shirt underneath. With his pants situation, he wore shorts that fell two inches or so below his bulge while pairing them with ass-less chaps.

“Rooster is serving basic while Hangman serving cunt-try,” Coyote let out a laugh.

“I may have misinterpreted the theme,” Hangman grinned.

“No, you didn’t,” Rooster shook his head.

“How did you even get the Navy to approve this?” Halo questioned.

Hangman shrugged his shoulders and looked at himself in the mirror while everyone was still processing what he was wearing. After getting ready for a few more minutes, the squadron with their fathers headed out of the suite and headed down to the party bus.

“Remember, we are representing the US Navy,” Ice announced. “Please don’t do anything embarrassing.”

“Um sir, have you seen what Hangman is wearing?” Bob quipped which caused Phoenix to give him a high-five.

“I need to call my therapist after seeing that,” Fritz took a swig of his drink.

“All of y’all are just jealous that I’m pulling this off,” Hangman scoffed.

Everyone else rolled their eyes and they finally got to the steps. All fourteen of them headed out of the party bus and all of them admired the steps. The view of flashing lights from the cameras came into view as they heard the photographers shout celebrities' names. They went through security before standing in line to step on the carpet. All of the members of the squadron started to fangirl/boy over the celebrities that they’d seen so far.

“Mothers,” Phoenix and Fanboy whispered under their breaths as they saw Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastine walk the carpet.

Soon it was time for them to walk the carpet. Despite them being on a suicide mission, all of them felt nervous. Even Mav and that man faced death a couple of times.

“Wow, everyone’s loving Hangman’s outfit aren’t they?” Payback questioned all of the focus on Hangman.

“Oh don’t be surprised if he shows up on the best-dressed list tomorrow,” the Ivies said simultaneously.

“Do any of you still find it creepy when they do this?” Halo questioned.

Everyone nodded their heads and walked up the steps. Thankfully they didn’t get pulled into interviews so they just went straight up to the top of the steps. All of them individually got the chance to talk to Anna Wintour for twenty seconds before walking into the museum.

All of the exhibits showed fashion throughout America’s history. From different centuries to different decades, there were outfits from that era with placards telling some details.

“Wow, the Navy uniforms changed,” all of them looked at the uniforms.

“How did they make them more?” Rooster questioned what to say next.

“Straight?” Everyone replied.

“That wasn’t the word but that also works,” Rooster shrugged his shoulders.

They soon left the Navy exhibit since it was time for the dinner and performances. Everyone was seated at separate tables since Anna didn’t want anyone who knew each other to sit together. Everyone sat with some interesting people but I think Mickey’s table was the best. He sat with Doja Cat, Adele, Luke Combs, Niall Horan, and Bill Nye. It was a weird mix but they vibed with each other. Everyone else had interesting people at their table but Mickey’s were the far best. They were the life of the gala with the vibe they were giving. Especially when Shania Twain was the performer of the evening. Everyone got out of their seats and Mickey walked over to where his squadron was so they can jam out together. Hangman somehow got dragged and got to dance with Shania when she sang I Feel Like A Woman.

“We’re seeing the same thing right?” Phoenix downed her drink. “We’re not inebriated on drinks or drugs.”

“We’re not high on drugs right?” Ice raised his eyebrow as he looked at his children.

“Okay, why is everyone looking at me?” Fritz whined.

“Do you not remember what happened last time?” Omaha questioned.

“It was one time!” Fritz threw his hands up in the air.

Everyone shook their heads and some of them went out to look at the exhibits while some of them stayed in the main area to dance some more. Soon after, people started to leave since the after-party was coming up and they needed to get ready, which included the Dagger Squad.

“All of you better don’t do anything bad at the after-party,” Ice told them. “Remember we are still representatives of the United States Navy.”

“Just don’t add or subtract to the population. That’s all we’re asking,” Mav added.

“Don’t worry,” all of them promised.

“Alright, go have fun,” Ice dismissed them.

Everyone who was dressed up in nice suits and dresses left the hotel again to the club.

Did they do anything stupid? No, well most of them. Did they add and/or subtract to the population? Thankfully they didn’t. Did they represent the US Navy well? I guess they did and that was the goal.

The next day, all of the daggers were on the best-dressed list. Well most of them… Rooster might’ve been roasted on Twitter…

Bradley’s Uncle(s) (And Dad)

Synopsis: The Daggers look through Mav’s TOPGUN class yearbook.

What they see surprises most of them.

In other related news, Bradley would like to bleach his brain.

And his ears.

Author’s Note: This was inspired by this tumblr post, and I churned it out in about half an hour.

I posted this on my main blog, @oh-great-authoress, eleven days ago, but it makes me cackle to the point that I feel that you guys on my fanfiction sideblog should see this too.

Title is inspired by the Fountains of Wayne classic, “Stacy’s Mom”.

Warnings: None, really, but the events of TG:M are completely canon for this, so a certain Admiral is unfortunately not with us in this ficlet.

The daggers were gathered at Mav’s hangar for their weekly get together, when one of them—not Jake, surprisingly—decided to snoop around Mav’s bookshelf.

Fanboy was looking at all the gathered NATOPS’ from various aircraft, when he spied the thin, blue-spined book entitled “TOPGUN Class One, 1986”.

“Hey Mav?” Mickey called out.

“Yeah, kiddo?” came the voice from the trailer, where Mav was heating the food Payback had brought.

“Do you mind if I take a look at one of your books?”

“Knock yourself out!”

“Thanks!” Mickey replied, immediately taking the yearbook, and moving over to the living area, where most of the daggers were. “Hey guys, look what I found!

It’s—”

“Damn—haven’t seen that in an age,” Rooster breathed, rubbing a hand over his upper lip.

“What is that?” Hangman asked, leaning forward, curious as ever.

“It’s Mav’s TOPGUN class yearbook,” Mickey explained as he laid it out. “Mav said I could take a look.”

The first photo was of the whole class together, and more than a few of the daggers silently chuckled at the fact that Mav was one of the shortest people in his class.

There were a few photos included that were also visible on the hangar walls, the versions in the yearbook printed with a small “Courtesy of Carole Bradshaw” or “Courtesy of Pete “Maverick” Mitchell” in the corner.

Then they came to the section with everyone’s official Navy portrait, when suddenly, Phoenix reached out, and grabbed the book, wide-eyed.

“What?” Rooster asked, speaking for everyone, shocked and worried.

She pointed vaguely at the page, her mouth slack.

Halo immediately turned away and spat out her drink.

“Hey Cal, you okay?” Omaha rushed over.

“Yeah,” she rasped, coughing and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. “I just—I never expected Admiral Kazansky to be hot!”

The other daggers immediately leaned to look at the book, and true enough, there was twenty-six year-old Thomas “Iceman” Kazansky in all his youthful glory.

“Well, I’ll be damned, who knew the late COMPACFLT could give me a run for my money?” Jake whistled, while everyone else save Bradley blinked incredulously, trying to reconcile the image they had of Admiral Kazansky with the image they were seeing.

Phoenix scoffed, leafing through the portraits section, “Most of Mav’s class could give you a run for your money, Bagman, you’re hardly God’s gift to women.

And even now, Mav could give you a run for your money,” she declared, ignoring the Texan’s dramatic gasp.

“I know, right, Nat—I mean, you saw those abs—who has those abs at fifty-seven?” Halo whisper-shouted.

“Oh, yeah.” She paused, then blinked. “Gotta admit, though, young Mav hits different.”

Halo leaned and nodded, an admiring smile on her face. “Ooh, yeah, he could totally get it.”

A sharp sound pulled the two women away from their musing, and they turned to see Bradley had slammed his beer bottle down on the coffee table, and he was striding away towards the airstream. “Roo, what are you doing?” Natasha shouted.

“Nope!

No!

I’m not listening to you guys thirsting over my dad and uncles!

No!!”

It’s Traumatize Bradley hours in this blog I guess 😂!

If you look at the nametags they’re all wearing in TG86, the second row says “TOPGUN 1”, so I’m assuming that there’s more than one TOPGUN session a year, at least in the TG/TG:M universe.

Taglist

@valmare (I know you saw it already, but I’m including you because it’s the taglist, sorry Mir!)

@callsign-skydancer

@permanentlyexhaustedpigeon88

@tadomikiku

If you’d like to join my taglist, just send me an ask!

#this is completely predicated on the idea that none of them ever bothered to look at the huge photo of mav and ice in the TOPGUN foyer #which is wholly plausible #bahaha 🤣#the defense department regrets to inform you your daughters are *ded* because of the navy(al aviators)#officially in my val kilmer era #not me 👀 at men literally old enough to be my father #but phoenix and halo are i guess #top gun: maverick #top gun maverick #top gun maverick fic #top gun: maverick fic #mickey fanboy garcia #pete maverick mitchell #jake hangman seresin #bradley rooster bradshaw #natasha phoenix trace #callie halo bassett #neil omaha vikander #tom iceman kazansky
