Hmmm. Could I talk you into a serious!Bertie Lissie icon? I started off thinking of his more focused mode, when he's the one flying people out of a dangerous situation or similar, but the more I consider, the more I'm aware that he absolutely does not have to be hyperfocused to be serious and kind. A fic of sholio's comes to mind, and... ah heck, I've just gone and reread the whole thing while looking for a quote. XD There are half a dozen lines that could work as icon fodder, but one of them is Lacey to Lissie, after the latter says it feels uncivilized to get warm and eat in front of a captured EvS: "It's an interrogation, Bertie. It's not supposed to be civilized!" Another is Bertie's musing on an unwillingness to let people suffer and die while tied to chairs being what separates Biggles and company (if not the Allied/western side as a whole) from the bally Boche and Stalin's goons. That's so very him.
Edited to add: My musing descended into more character study than icon fodder there, didn't it? Sorry. Not sure if any of it was useful. I do kind of like the idea of a 'Bertie at the controls of a plane zooming out of a perilous situation' icon. And now I've just been hit over the head with another idea, oh, shoot. Any or all of the usual crew with the wings they sprouted in black_bentley and philomytha's Where Seagulls Dare and my Plays A Chord, High and Telling.
