Word Of Advice For All The Top Gun And Broadway Fans Alike: Don't Listen/watch "For Good" While Watching

Word of advice for all the Top Gun and Broadway fans alike: don't listen/watch "For Good" while watching Maverick and Ice's scene in TGM. Just don't, unless you want to cry buckets of tears.

I mean, just look at them...!

"You have married an Icarus, he has flown too close to the sun."

On the topic of songs that are perfect for Mission: Impossible and Benthan angst, I present to you: "No Good Deed" from Wicked.

( Ethan is singing, Benji is Fiyero - or, for more angst and pain, the other way around. )

Songs that are Icemav coded

Okay, so you'll have to hear me out, but the song "Tightrope" from The Greatest Showman is so Icemav-coded; every time I listen to it, it's all I can think of.

"Hand in my hand, and we promised to never let go" would so be Ice's hope that they would always be wingmen and how he doesn't want to lose Maverick.

"Will you catch me if I should fall?" is so Maverick worrying if Ice will still want him when he's at worst (or when Bradley leaves after the whole paper-pulling mess).

"And I risk it all for this life we choose" describes both of their worries with the risks their relationship poses (fuck DADT) and how they're both risking their entire careers and lives to be together in secret.

Also, I think the whole "we're walking the tightrope" applies to their relationship because they go from being in a safe place but the next move they make, they could end up on the ground.

Ice (to Slider): I told you, Sli, I'm not in love with Maverick.

Also Ice (anytime he's in Mav's presence): If you could see that I'm the one who understands you, been here all along, so why can't you see, you belong with me?
