The One That Will Give You Flashbacks to the 1980s, Even If You Didn't Live Through Them. Kings of the Air, by fabularasa. Top Gun, Iceman/Maverick
( Read more... )
Thank you so much for that Top Gun rec. I watch Top Gun about once a year (hey volleyball scene heeeey), but I always end up feeling like I've only seen half a movie. Kings of the Air is the other half :-)
OKAY NOW FOR A FANDOM PIMP: You simply must watch White Collar. There really isn't any alternative here - I'm trying to think of a loophole, but no. You just have to watch. The end. :-) I resisted watching until about a week ago (because I was under the completely erroneous impression I didn't like Matt Bomer), at which time I fell head over heels in love and mainlined all the existing episodes in one day.
I, too, have suffered from Fic>Canon Syndrome, but the canon here is marvelous (particularly Peter, who is an unflappable badass except for the part where he is befuddled by his incredible wife and his saucy convict boyfriend). Definitely give it a try sometime :-)
Kings of the Air is so totally the other half, and in fact the better half. I read it and was all: YES THIS YAY OMG.
There really isn't any alternative here - I'm trying to think of a loophole, but no.
Oh, man. I did not realize I was violating any kind of law by failing to watch White Collar! With tzikeh's help, I may be able to rectify that before they come for me with sticks and sniffer dogs and black helicopters.

By far the better half :-) It makes me like Top Gun a lot more, simply for having existed to make this fic happen.
And yes, watching White Collar is the law! Or...it should be, at least. *grin* It's awesome.

Yes, this.
(I feel the same way about L.A. Confidential, and Partnership (or the extended edition) is the other necessary half.
