I was speaking to my mom the other day and she is entering that age where she is just starting to get old. like 50 ish. and she says my love when you get older your dignity starts to go a little. and she mentioned these shitty fucking medical exams she has to endure and how her body doesn't really help her anymore and how one day of energetic activity is paid for by three days of recovery. and i was wondering could you write something about maverick and iceman reckoning with old age? i know you wrote some stuff like that already, but i meant like them coming to terms with the fact that, certain medical exams need to happen past the age of 45, and ejections are a bitch to recover from (maverick survived two within a span of weeks? and was fine afterwards! i call bs). You mentioned Mav is not Tom Cruise, who is in ridiculously amazing shape for a 60 year old, so would you be willing to write some scenes of him and iceman reallllyy feeling those aches and pains and maybe throw in bradley doing some chores for them so they don't have to? and maybe just bradley mocking the fuck out of them he is a little shit after all.

Once again your writing is amazing and you are amazing but don't feel pressured to write this or spend anytime thinking about this! you owe me nothing :)

first paragraph of extras part two :) (mav pov directly post-mission)
