MIRRORBALL | ❝I'll show you every version of yourself tonight.❞
Since Wattpad feels very quiet after the removal of the Newsfeed, I thought I would take matters into my own hands and recommend you some gems that have stood out to me on this sit...

— reader's notes:
• like many people, i'm sure, i am forever mindblown by top gun: maverick and this fic has 100% fuelled my obsession with both of the movies! the plot follows grace "vex" mitchell (an ICON) who is the daughter of maverick, and this is the point where i say the way annie writes father/daughter relationships is so beautiful... all of the ones i've read so far are unique to the canon (father) characters, but all equally endearing.
• also the way she writes the flying scenes is so exhilarating! not to mention impressive with all of the terminology too; that is/was something that terrified me and almost put me off writing my own top gun fic, but seeing her use the terms correctly (i'm assuming haha) and in a way that doesn't feel forced is super encouraging, and also really paints a vivid image for the readers.
• finally, the way you manage to reference the original top gun or other little easter eggs throughout the book is absolutely perfect. everything from bringing back lines from the original movie, to other little character details, is just *chef kiss*
• annie is also writing another top gun fic, and would you believe it... i'm going to recommend that one too! chapter coming shortly on that 🤭
