Imagine reuniting with Finn and your son when they arrive in New Orleans.
āāā Ā Request for anon Ā āāā
It did not take long for you to learn of what you were. A vampire. The first of them, and, at first, you believed yourself to be alone. Cursed to a life without your family, your villageā anything other than an insatiable thirst that forced ruin in your wake.
Then, after centuries, you heard whispers of others. Of a family, the Originals, theyād been called. Named on the tongue of vampires you had not sired, the thing of legends and myths. You collected just enough information to peak your interestā to give you hope.
But for the life of you, you could not catch up to them. As if each time you would find their location, they were forced from it just as suddenly by some unknown entity.
You had not expected New Orleans to be any different than it had been a century ago. You had expected to arrive, defeated, to the aftermath and the evidence of their presenceā just enough to convince you of their existence, but not enough to keep them there. The ages had made you tired, to the brink of exhaustion, as you chased after them hopelessly, over and over again.
In the dead of night, you had not expected to see him, of all things, after all these tireless years. He had been reserved for your memories, a ghost in the depths of your mind that fueled your hope, but to see him now, finally, you can hardly believe it.
āFinn,ā falls softly from your lips, carried along the faint tune of a saxophone playing deeper in the quarter, the cheers of tourists and laughter of locals fading in the night between you. He looked just as young as you, immortality adorning him in an eternal youth much like it had you. His hair is much shorter, cropped, a product of the times you found yourselves in. Nothing like how it had been when youād fallen in love with him, back when the Vikings had roamed the earth.
His eyes, however, they showed the truth of him. Weary and wise, like they had seen it allā which, youāre quite certain they had, if your own life was any example to go by. They watch you, conflicted and disbelieving, as if he cannot fathom your appearance before him any more than you could of him.
In the blink of an eye, heās before you, warm hand at your jaw, cupping familiarly as your name finds purchase on his tongue. Itās choked, as if holding back a shuddering sob, before his lips crash down against your own.
Your heart breaks, and picks up its own pieces to put itself back together, all at once. He was real. Not a figment of your imagination or an insanity born from hopeless need. Your hands grasp the polyester of his shirt, grasping him to you for the first time in forever, it felt like.
āHow,ā he chokes out, and you shake your head. That was a question for his mother, but you doubted even she knew, for she certainly would not have left you had she known.
āOur son,ā you ask, but dare not hope for him. It had been centuries, and you had learned they were not so kind. How could a child grow in the death that had surrounded you?
āHe,ā he breaks, and for a moment your suspicions are confirmed. He must have died long ago. Finn clears his throat, a smile breaking against his lips as his forehead presses against your own,Ā āHe is not as you remember him. He walks in the body of a man, now. Youāve missed so much.ā
āHeās alive?ā thereās no hiding your happy sob, as your husband wipes tears from your cheeks.
āYes,ā he nods,Ā āyou should meet him.ā
After Icemanās funeral, Slider was contacted by Iceās attorney to come into his office, as he had some personal property that Ice had left Slider in his will.
Emotional over the loss of his friend, as well as curious about what he might have left him (his dog tags? No, he would have left those for his family. Money? No, Ice wouldnāt leave him moneyā¦) Slider arranged to come into the attorneyās office a couple days later to receive his inheritance from Ice.
After he entered the manās office, and introduced himself, shook his hand, was toldĀ āIām sorry for your lossā, etc. the attorney handed him a plain white envelope.
Confused, Slider turned the envelope over in his hand. It was standard letter-size, sealed, with no odd bulges indicating anything other than paper was inside. And on the front, written in pen, in Icemanās handwriting, were the wordsĀ āFor Admiral Ron Kerner.ā
So Slider opened the envelope, and pulled out a single piece of folded white paper.
He unfolded the paper, and readā¦
āDear Slider,
Ā You get Maverick.
Love,
Ā Ā Ā Ā Iceā
People outside in the hallway all stopped when they heard a sudden, loud yell:
Some behind the scenes parallels Iāve found between the casts and crews of Top Gun (1986) and Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
As a bisexual, it sickens me that some people WILL keep scrolling.
