Zerron Qym - Morning Street (Chillwave)

🕑 Lesedauer: 2 min Zurücklegen, entspannen und die Musik genießen, dieser Track bringt auf alle Fälle die richtigen Vibes. Der in Hong Kong beheimatete Künstler Zerron Qym veröffentlichte bereits im Oktober letzten Jahres seine Song Morning Street und als dieser heute früh in der Redaktion lief, hat er bereits beim ersten Hören unsere Aufmerksamkeit auf sich gezogen. Super relaxender Chillwave und ein fantastischer Lofi Charakter prägen dabei den Klang. Morning Street ist ein exzellent gelungenes E-Gitarren Arrangement, das mit seinen ausgeklügelten Läufen nicht nur im musikalischen Mittelpunkt steht, sondern auch einen Hauch von Jazz raushören lässt. Begleitet wird diese von einem ausdrucksstarken Lofi Beat und verschiedenen Atmos Elemente, die Umweltgeräusche simulieren. Sollte euch der Track zusagen, hört am besten gleich mal in die komplette EP Calming Place rein, die ihr ebenfalls auf Spotify findet.

Ok, so I have this oc Hestia Rodarch. When I started writing Hidden origins I changed a bit of her backstory. Originally she became a member of clan Rodarch after her master married into the clan. But I changed her backstory to being adopted by the clan then her adoptive mother beg Tarre Vizlsa too take as a student then end up marrying her master. I'm so sorry I didn't realize the back story was similar to your what if story.

No need to apologize, aside from names and Master, they’re not really similar at all ^^

I haven’t introduced Hestia into Unsung Heroes yet, but when I do, I’ve been planning on changing her name to Allana (I love the name, I really do….it fits better for her), with Hestia just being a codename or something. So, everything’s a-okay, nothing to worry about, my friend ^^

And Zerran’s first name is probably going to be changed to Trevor. Trevor Zerron, it’s catchy, lol. More so then Cedric Zerran…..so, Trevor Zerran and Allana Frej.

And…..I love your idea for Hestia Rodarch! It’s amazing!

Zerron and Spirzi by Crystal-Zen Base by Hinata2000 Two of my Hiveswap/Homestuck trolls, Zerron and Spirzi. Both are Limebloods, but not sure if I'm making Spirzi an iron mutant yet. I will figure that out.. These two I've decided come from a planet that their Lusi took them to called Discornia.  Zerron literally gives no flips if anyone sees his blood color, even when he's on Alternia or otherwise. Spirzi however pulls a Karkat move and wears a grey symbolized shirt. Zerron is very Up and Down with his attitude and he's a pyro. Art, Zerron, Spirzi are mine. Adopted Spirzi from CookiePoni Base is Hinata2000

alpha damon reminiscing his life

alternative title: try not to ship them

[laulo821]

maybe therapy is fishing with your nemesis in the afterlife

a lot of things happened in my brain between those two and they had lots of discussions so the pound talk may be brutal to y'all but it's actually been brewing for what feels like weeks. anyways. here's some comics with them talking that are more like incoherent screams in the void on my part - but also they are the direct continuation of yesterday's lil comics with hanata. don't mind how different they look i drew one in the morning and one in the afternoon (also the first comic's wine drinking is a callback to another comic with them when they were alive)

this was also a training in backgrounds i think i did amazingly although the pantoon looks weird and the people still feel out of place compared to the more realistic(?) background

[laulo821]

dancing for old times' sake

zerron (blue guy) literally brought alpha damon (big guy) to be executed and poked his eye out but you can't stop me from homosexualising them beyond their grave. this enemies to fuckers dynamic of them is making me wild. and making AD mad too (he deserves it)

also i really should stop obsessing over AD he's the only guy i draw ffs

[laulo821]

so fixated on him i began developping his character. help.

[laulo821]

since AD became blacklisted from my brain temporarily let's have the other dead folk's* reaction to Zerron's arrival in the Beyond

* there are a few more people in the Beyond but i have not designed them yet so not including them. double rip bozos

[laulo821]

another post on tenyoxin lore yippie

from @tealviscaria

so first, do they need to look the age when they died? NO. especially for background characters like Zerron for whom i don't care what he looked like at 60 nor will prolly ever represent him at 60. for other characters, my overall rule is to make them recognisable between their usual (live) appearance and their dead appearance. that's a meta reason but it's convinent

then the in-universe question, can they choose what to look like in the afterlife? KINDA, YEA. when they arrive in the Beyond (real name of the afterlife place), they are given a "base form" of either what they looked like when they died or the quintessence of their look (of when they peaked, as a highschooler may say). and they can tweak that base form as they wish, but are limited to. yknow. still look like themselves (being recognisable), i.e. they have to keep a similar build, proportions, bone structure, main characteristics... but they can tweak whatever details of their look – hair length, hair colour, clothes, nails, wrinkles, eyebags, clothes... they can also grow back limbs and heal from chronic illnesses or disabilities if they choose to. plus, they can choose to show their reason of death (as scars or as phantom markings, if applicable)

i hope this is all understandable!! if you have further questions about it or about the Beyond ask ahead <3

Infinity of Stars (Reader x Rocket Raccoon) CHAPTER 12

When taken from her home planet, Terra from a young age, Y/N L/N, also known as Iris, is taught to survive and becomes one of the galaxies' well-known bounty hunters.

But what happens when rumor spreads that she knows the locations of the rare and dangerous infinity gauntlet; a highly powerful weapon that could destroy all?

She is the only human to know of its whereabouts, something which the Guardians of the Galaxy  need to find, before its too late.

But... Who will get to the weapon of mass destruction first?

The day went quicker than Y/N realised, since she spent most of the day fixing the outer wing with the help of Peter. The more hours spent, the more she grew nervous: she hadn't seen Rocket for most of the day, and that only made it more nerve-wracking knowing that she had to find and tell him how she felt.

Once the right wing looked to be about fixed, Y/N was sitting outside on the grass, quietly taking in the forestry scenery, watching off into the distance, "You've been quiet." Peter brought her out of her thoughts, as she watched him come over to sit beside her, "Just... lots to think about." She muttered, staring into her hands which were resting in her lap.

Peter pondered for a moment, "Have you spoken to him today?"

"I haven't even seen him since yesterday evening." She replied, "Maybe, you should go find him and talk to him about it." he suggested. Y/N was silent for a moment, before sighing in defeat, "Fine."

She stood to her feet, "Thanks Quill." She replied before entering inside the Milano, "No problem." she just about heard before she went inside quietly. She didn't have to go too far and low to find Rocket, finding him sitting next to Groot, as he worked on something from the control panel.

"Hey." Y/N didn't realise how strained her voice sounded, hoarse as she tried her best not to hit herself for sounding so croaky. Rocket didn't look up at her or greet her, as he continued working. "Are... you busy at the moment?" Y/N asked, "What does it look like?" Rocket blurted out, as he looked up at her, there was a look of exasperation.

She didn't say anything after that, turning around annoyed and walking out, walking back out of the Milano and outside, "Y/N, where you going-" "Out." Y/N barked back, before going out onto a run, running further and further inside the city.

She stopped once she found that she was away, different species looking at her strangely as she stood out amongst them all, walking and walking as she used her grappling hook, flinging her up onto the ceiling of one of the buildings.

Once comfortable, she sat there, taking in the scenery as she quietly listened in on those below, laughter and chatter echoing around as she sighed in content. "You sure run fast." She snapped her head back towards the voice, shocked and astounded to see the person who had just shunned her away.

"What do you want?" She asked once he was sitting next to her, as well taking in the view, "You wanted to talk to me huh? Take me on a walk or somethin'?" Rocket implied irritated, "I never said anything like that.” Y/N laughed forcefully, “Then what was that ‘hole nonsense with Quill earlier on?” Y/N turned to him, bewilderment in her E/C eyes.

“You... heard that?” She asked, her heart stammering quickly, “Yeah, I did.” He was silent for a moment, Y/N begun contemplating what next to say, “Y-You’re not saying anything.”“What’s there to say?” Rocket inquired, “Shit, I’m sorry for this, I-I didn’t want you to know like that-”

“I ain’t mad.” Rocket spoke, as Y/N tried not to bite her tongue from the nerves, “You’re not?” She was confused: she was expecting more of a reaction out of Rocket, this didn’t seem like him. “It’s not like ya meant it anyway,” Rocket huffed, “ya probably just saying it just so Quill wouldn’t tease you for it.” She watched her next words, watching him as he looked hurt, he thought she lied just so Quill didn’t tease her for this crush? “I mean, look at me” he pointed to himself, “I’m a freak, it would only be normal that you’d go for someone of ya species.”

“I... wasn’t lying you know.” He turned his head suddenly to her, she could see so many emotions running through his mind: confused, shock, happiness? “I meant it.... I like you Rocket.” She continued, waiting for what he would say next. It was silent for a while, she was worried that he would turn her down, laugh and pretend it was fake and that he didn’t return the feelings. She was very unsure of what Rocket would say or do next.

“.... I.... like ya too okay? ” He stammered, as he kept his head low to the ground, Y/N could sense his embarrassment. “So, we both confessed we like each other?” Rocket begun, as the look Y/N  gave him was something to make him continue, “Perhaps we should-”

“GUYS, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?! ROCKET, Y/N, WE NEED YOU!” The radio that Rocket carried on his belt blared out, making them jolt in surprise at the incoming voice of Quill, “We need to get going.”

“W-Wait, what of what we were sayin’-”

“That’ll have to wait, we need to get back!” The two hurried off the building and running back to the base of the Milano.

“Where the hell were you two?” Gamora was the first to ask, “Doesn’t matter, what’s going on?” Y/N asked, changing subject, unaware of the looks from the others and as well as the unclear look from Rocket.

“We need this baby to get going, we’ve been followed!” Peter shouted from the cockpit as everyone ran aimlessly to their seats, “From who?” Rocket asked.

“Fellow Guardians.” The voice rang out through loudly, vibrating off the windows as everyone looked outside, spotting the group that they so didn’t want to be greeted by. “Zerron.” Y/N gulped involuntarily, “You have something of ours and you know what it is, hand it over and no harm will be down to you or your ship.”

Everyone turned until their eyes were on Y/N’s, uncertain and unsure of what to do. “You have five seconds to choose wisely. If not done, we’ll proceed to rain fire upon you.”

“Y/N-”

“One.”

What do I do?

“Two.”

“Y/N, don’t you dare.”

“Three.”

I’m gonna be hated so badly.

“Four.”

But, I’m doing this to protect them all.

“Five.”

“Zerron.” The group looked to the entrance, seeing the small figure emerge, “Ah, there you are.” Zerron called, his eyes wavered towards Y/N’s defeated and down face, “I hope you brought the plans with you.”

Y/N didn‘t utter a word, instead, handing the blueprints over to him silently, “I knew I could rely on you.” He pulled her further and further away from the Milano, Y/N could feel the burning looks of shock and glares from the fellow Guardians as she neared the ship off in the distance.

“We have so much catching up to do kid.” Y/N grimaced at the way Zerron gripped her shoulder in a vice grip.

“So much.”

Infinity of Stars (Reader x Rocket Raccoon) CHAPTER 14 - END

When taken from her home planet, Terra from a young age, Y/N L/N, also known as Iris, is taught to survive and becomes one of the galaxies' well-known bounty hunters.

But what happens when rumor spreads that she knows the locations of the rare and dangerous infinity gauntlet; a highly powerful weapon that could destroy all?

She is the only human to know of its whereabouts, something which the Guardians of the Galaxy  need to find, before its too late.

But... Who will get to the weapon of mass destruction first?

“Hey.” Y/N was waiting back on Zerron’s ship, sitting quietly as she sat by the window. She recognised the voice as she smiled softly, “Toots huh?” She smirked as he came to sit next to her, “Why? Ya don’t like it?” He asked, making her laugh softly, “I do like it, it seems like something you would come up with.” She turned to him, noticing how close he sat next to her, feeling his fur brush up the side of her left arm, tickling her skin, but it felt pleasant enough to not move away.

“Were you the one who got the others to agree to save me?” she asked as she turned to him, watching as he snorted, looking anywhere but at her, “Pfft, no, I mean, I had my opinion to say, whether they agreed or not.”

“.... You’re a terrible liar.” She joked as her hand grazed the side of his arm, lowering until she was holding his paw in hers, the feeling felt odd, but enough to not put her off. Rocket looked up at her surprised as he was lucky once again for having fur to hid a blush that would be on his cheeks.

“Peter was the one who eventually sided with me.” Y/N laughed once again, “He’s like your wingman or something?” “My what?” He was confused by the word, as he watched Y/N laugh at how innocent he could be, “Don’t worry, you can ask him about it.”

It was silent for a moment, the only sound coming from outside and the soft rumbling of the engine. “I wanted to talk to ya... about earlier.” Rocket begun, nervous about his next words, “I worried about this...” he gestured to the two of them, “working.”

Y/N breathed heavily, “I guess we have bigger things to worry about at the moment, like trying to get this Gauntlet and not dying.” She chuckled to herself, “But... that doesn’t mean.... I don’t it to happen.... hell, it’s been a while since I’ve done this-I’m not explainin’ myself properly.-”

“No, I understand what you’re trying to say.” Y/N smiled softly, “You’re just scared of dating someone.” Rocket was silent, which Y/N took as his way of agreeing with her, “We can take things slow, it will be a shock to the others if they find out.”

“They kinda did.” He muttered, scratching the back of his neck, “To hell what they think. I’m not afraid to like you, or what others think about it, it’s my life, not theirs.” Rocket smiled softly, getting bolder and he shuffled until he was sitting in her lap, “Then that settles it then.” he grinned, staring at her cheekily.

“What are you staring at me like that for?” She smiled at him shyly back, “Nothin’, just you wait.” He leant up, nuzzling the side of her cheek as she wrapped her arms around his torso and hugged him to her chest.

The two sat there for a moment, taking in the view. Rocket would occasionally look up and look at her, and sometimes when he did, he would meet Y/N’s gaze too, as he would get embarrassed and would look down, making Y/N laugh and gush at how cute he was. He really was afraid, but he was happy to be looking forward to the future and what it entailed.

The two walked slowly back over to the cockpit, a meeting would take place soon and she was willing to listen to what the plan would be and how the Gauntlet would be collected. “I don’t know how I was lucky enough to get someone like you.” Rocket begun, “You were yourself Rocket, you managed to let your walls down and allow someone to see you for who you really were.” Y/N smiled down at him, as Rocket smiled softly, looking away embarrassed.

The two rounded the corner, as they were greeted by Gamora walking in the opposite direction, “Hey, can I talk to you quickly?” She was asking Y/N, as she looked to Rocket, “I’ll meet you in there, save me a seat.” He nodded, looking between Gamora and Y/N once again, before walking away and out of sight.

Y/N followed Gamora into a small area, as the two sat there in silence, “Are you and Rocket...” She begun slowly, as she looked to her, but Y/N knew what she wanted to say, “We kinda wanted to keep it hidden for a while.”

“Oh...” Gamora said, as she looked awkwardly away, “I-I’m sorry... for not trusting you earlier. It takes me a while... to really trust people. I want to thank you for saving us from time to time...” Y/N was surprised by Gamora’s apology, as she smiled.

“I get it, I was someone brand new coming into your group, someone you would be unsure of. I would feel the same if that was me. You don’t need to apologise Gamora, I forgive you.”

Gamora smiled at her for the first time since she ended up in the group, a smile of gratitude, “So... no hard feelings?” She asked, as Y/N shook her head, “None at all, we can start over when this is all over.” Gamora nodded, genuinely pleased with how it went.

“Let’s go to this meeting then.” The two stood and walked back to the area where the meeting would take place. Upon entering, she spotted the other Guardians, Peter looked over to Y/N, then at Gamora, as he gave the thumbs up, Y/N rolled her eyes but nodded her head to him as he looked happy himself to see the two of them getting along now.

Y/N walked to sit next to Rocket, “How’d it go?” He asked, “Rather well, we’ve settled our problems and seem to be getting on now.” Rocket nodded, happy to know that they were friends now.

The meeting had finally finished, and the plans were settled: more enemies were coming their way to both collect the Gauntlet and to kill them and Zerron’s men too. The plan settled was that by tomorrow, they would’ve made it to the planet that had the Gauntlet located.

There would have to be no time wasted, grabbing it and traveling as quickly as they could back before the enemies were close by, it was mainly so lives weren’t lost, since we would need as many men as we could to survive, and head to Xandar, where the Gauntlet would remain in the property of the Nova Corps.

“The plan could go either way tomorrow,” Y/N spoke to Rocket, as the two laid beside each other on the mattress. “ We could all survive or we could all die, as long as we work together. “You’re starting to sound a lot like Zerron.” Rocket chuckled as Y/N playfully smiled at him back, “That’s what happens when you’re looked after by him for 19 years.”

“.... You never talked to me about your life on Terra.” Rocket changed the subject quickly to her, surprising her as she stared at him in brief silence, “There wasn’t much for me back home,” she looked down quickly, “I lost my parents when I was very young. Then lived with my abusive aunt, since she was the only relative left or willing to look after me.” She coughed awkwardly, “Then Zerron found me and looked after me as his own.”

“How’d you get your name, ya know Iris?” He asked quietly. Y/N smiled at the memory, “My dad used to read about the planets and galaxies outside Terra, when we came across one called Iris Nebula.... I guess the name kinda stuck to me.” She laughed quietly.

“It suits you well.” He moved closer to her, until she could feel his breath along her skin, making her shiver, “but I prefer Y/N more.” He smirked. Y/N sighed as she ran her hand through his fur, yawning as she begun to feel more tired, “It’s late and tomorrow is gonna be busy, we should sleep.” She said, as she laid on her back to get comfortable, Rocket now laying on her chest.

“Ya know,” he smirked, “the others are asleep, and we’re the only ones awake...-” “We sleep Rocket.” She kissed his cheek as she pulled him closer to her chest, as she smiled listening to him mumble incoherently. She grew more tired as she closed her eyes, her breathing fanning out as she let sleep take over.

The early morning arrived, and everyone was getting to their stations and getting ready to prepare to fight and get the Gauntlet. Y/N was with the Guardians, since it was Peter and her job to grab the Gauntlet and hurry on their way back before things got messy.

“And don’t listen to him, don’t follow him if he says to go somewhere that’s unsafe...” Y/N was listening to Rocket’s ramblings on her safety as she bent down to his height, “You know me Rockie, I won’t get myself hurt, Peter will protect me if things go bad.”

Y/N watched his ears twitch at the nickname she gave him as he shook his head, “I know that, just... be careful, that’s all I’m askin’.” She stroked the top of his head, his eyes closing blissfully as she bent down to kiss his cheek once again, “I’ll be fine, I promise.” He almost leaped for her, jumping and wrapping his arms around her neck to hug her tightly, worried that she wouldn’t make it back to him.

“We should get going.” Peter called as he smiled at the scene in front of him, “I’m coming.” She called back as she stood up, placing her mask on as she gave Rocket one last glance before leaving the Milano with Peter by her side.

The two walked in the dense forest areas, the planet was once a civilization, but due to unknown circumstances, it crumpled and the people perished, leaving only now forests.

“Now, if I was a giant Gauntlet, where would I be hiding?” Y/N pondered as she asked Peter, as he held an electronic device, “Probably in the most sacred building there.” He pointed as the two looked over at the large temple/building that was still standing. It was covered and surrounded by vines and the material looked to be ancient.

The two begun jogging through until they made it inside, Y/N glanced as she looked back at Peter who was taking his Walkman and skipping through his tracks, “What are you doing? Is this the best time for this?” Y/N asked as she could see that Peter was smiling back at her through his mask, “Relax,” he breathed, “it helps me work better.” he pressed play as the song begun to play through the speakers of the Walkman loudly.

The two walked through, Peter dancing and wiggling his hips in an old-man way as Y/N stared at him in disbelief, “You dance like an old man.” She laughed as he gasped, “These,” he spun around, “were well-known moves back then.” he kicked up his leg as Y/N couldn’t believe what she was witnessing.

“Leave those moves for Gamora.” She laughed as the two continued their way through the temple, jumping over gaps and traps as they made it into the locked entrance. Y/N managed to open it with ease, as they entered, the first thing they were greeted with was the Gauntlet, sitting there in all of its glory.

“Holy shit.” Y/N breathed out, taking in the Gauntlet as it sat surrounded by electrical bars. “How are we going to get it?” Y/N asked as Peter moved forward, “Watch and learn kid.” Y/N huffed as she watched him take out small round metal ball, the same size as a baseball and hold it near the bars.

The Gauntlet begun to shake as if it was magnetic towards it, sliding with ease out from the bars as it shot out, Y/N catching it with ease. “This thing is heavy.” She huffed as she placed it into her bag that was slung around her back. “Let’s go.-” The building begun to shake for a second, something had hovered above them, as dust and small parts of debris fell from the ceiling. The two looked at each other, before they twisted on their heels and ran out of the room, “YEAH LET’S GO!” They both quickly shouted at the same time, running out as the temple begun to shake more and more, more parts of debris and ceiling was starting to fall, trying to hit them, but they ran and ran, until they were outside, running back through the forest.

Y/N looked back one last time at the temple, feeling relieved that the temple had collapsed and they weren’t inside. The closer they got back to the ships, the more noises and shouting they could hear, gunshots ringing out in the air, “Shit.” Peter and Y/N ran faster, their weapons at the ready as they opened up into the clearing, seeing that there was now what seemed like hundreds of enemies attacking those who remained, bodies were everywhere as Y/N ran faster, knowing that she had to get to Rocket quickly.

The two begun firing at enemies, Y/N using as many bombs as she could muster as she fired shots around until she ran out of ammo. “I need to get to the ship!” Y/N shouted out as she covered, “I’ll cover you!” Peter shouted back as Y/N ran back along the open, avoiding guys and bullets flying all around.

She made it inside the Milano as she searched high and low for a useful weapon lying around. She found one eventually, one of Rocket’s more larger guns, and as well as some more ammo for her own gun.

“Y/N!” She turned back to see Rocket at the entrance, Groot on his shoulder as she bent down taking in if he had any injuries, “We need to get outta here.” He said as Y/N nodded, “Find the others, I need to get this to Zerron!” “Y/N wait-”

“Just go please!” Y/N called back as she ran out running along and shooting those as she finally found Zerron, “We need to go! I’ve got it!” She shouted as Zerron collected as many men he could as they hurried back, “Where’s the rodent?” He asked, “Back at the Milano, trying to find the others-” She was suddenly jolted a shot ringing in her ear as she was thrown to the ground, “Y/N?!” She heard her name being called as she noticed her mask was cracked and fell off her face, she didn’t realise she was being pulled back to her feet and was being carried/dragged by Zerron into his ship.

“You’re fine, yer fine, just a flesh wound.” He breathed as he moved to the cockpit, ordering men that were still alive around as one went to find a first aid kit. The ship begun to hover in the air as it shot up into the atmosphere and back into space.

Y/N clutched her bleeding head, worried about the others and if they had made it out alive, “Yer boyfriend is fine, you however ain’t.” Zerron spoke as Y/N’s breathing started to slow down, her head pounding as she heard the blurred and distant noises of shouting.

She just managed to look up through her foggy E/C eyes, briefly widening as she saw what was coming straight towards them.

A large bomb.

With all the strength she could muster, she stood quickly to her feet as she collided into Zerron just in time, the bomb just about missing him as it breached the windows, air rushing inside as everyone was flung outside into space, the ship exploding loudly beside them.

Y/N just about realised she didn’t have her mask anymore to help her breathe as she was slowly loosing the air to breath, Zerron was holding her as they spun and spun in the air of space. She could just about hear what he was saying to her, as she noticed her was breathing fine, until she realised he was using something to help him.

With her S/C skin now turning blue and her E/C eyes looking more bloodshot, she watched as Zerron took off the device from his chest and placed it on the side of her arm, instantly being encased around a layer to help her breathe.

She coughed, as she screamed, holding onto Zerron as he smiled, “DON’T DO THIS TO ME, PLEASE! TAKE IT PLEASE!” She tried to rip it off her jacket, but Zerron silently placed his hand over it, making sure that she didn’t take it off. “ZERRON!! DON’T DO THIS! ZERRON!” She shook him violently, tears slipping down her cheeks as she watched his red skin form bubbles and ice, his eyes turn all red as he smiled at her, tapping the side of his broach as she realised that he was trying to say to her that she would always be a Scavenger, and also saluting her a farewell.

And with that, Y/N cried loudly as she watched her ‘father’ suffocate and die in her arms.

It was silent inside the Milano, Y/N was sitting on the bed as she clutched the bandages that had been wrapped by Gamora. She had been left alone, alone to cry to herself after she blamed herself for the death of Zerron, as she held up his broach, more tears silently cascading down her face as she silently sobbed.

“Iris...” She looked to the doorway, as she saw Peter standing there, littered in bruises and small wounds that had been bandaged, “I haven’t heard anyone call me that in a while.” She breathed, her voice was quiet and hoarse from screaming and crying so much, mainly that she was carried away from his body by Drax.

That was two days ago, and she still hadn’t left her room, “I’m... so sorry about that.” Peter begun as he watched her sob louder, pulling her into a hug, “It was my fault, he sacrificed himself to save me.” She cried.

“He cared for you Y/N.” She sobbed once again, “He did, and all he wanted was to call me his daughter, but I said before that he never would be.” Peter hugged her tightly, “We miss you all you know, Rocket isn’t the same without you, he’s hasn’t eaten of slept...”

Y/N was quiet for a bit, “You can send him in if you want to, he probably wants to see me.” Y/N breathed heavily as Peter smiled reassuringly at her, “I’ll go and find him for you... but about Zerron.-”

“He’s a R'zahnian, their way of funerals would want him to be made into a firework.” She sighed as she turned to him, “He wouldn’t want me to mourn for him.” She said, “He would’ve wanted me to be strong.” “Which you are.” Peter said, “You’re strong Y/N, with the right support and people around you, you’ll get through this.”

Y/N nodded as she hugged Peter back, “Thank you Peter.” He nodded, “Anytime. I’ll go get Rocket for you, I’ll be back shortly.” with that, he left her room.

Y/N sighed in sadness, taking off the necklace around her neck and looking down at it, the same one she was given to from her parents, specifically from her mother before she passed. She ran her finger along the necklace, absentmindedly fiddling with it, until a small click! brought her to look down.

The necklace was now open as she worried that she had broken it, until she spotted something that looked to be crumpled into the inside of it. Curious, she took it out, and realised it was actually a bit of folded worn paper stuck inside. She unfolded it, until she saw it was actually a letter.

She read the small cursive writing, the writing unfamiliar to her:

My precious darling Y/N,

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to see you on your 2nd birthday, you knew mummy wasn’t feeling well for a long time. By the time you’ve read this, you’ll be much older, but I will be in a better place. Your father will look after you and cherish these moments with you, he and I love you very much, more than the stars and galaxies around us.

I will always be with you, from all corners of the world, and whether you go and travel, I will be right by your side. I’m proud of you my sweet girl, and I promise we will meet again one day.

Love you forever, my little growing flower. Mom xx

Y/N read the letter over and over again, taking in the words as she smiled softly, more tears falling as she was obvious to the person standing by the door, “Y/N?” She turned to see Rocket standing there. She saw how battered his fur looked as he too looked like he hadn’t slept in a week.

She stood to her shaking feet before walking to him, stumbling but managing to keep her footing as she kneeled in front of him. The two sat there for a moment, watching each other as Y/N felt more tears brim to her eyes as she leant down and hugged him to her shaking body,

Rocket hugged her back, reassuring her with words as he stroked her H/C hair softly. “I’m sorry- I should’ve listened to you- I shouldn’t of gone-”

“Quiet.” He mumbled, “I’m not angry, I’m just... glad you’re here in one piece.” She felt how he squeezed her briefly, “I was so worried I would look ya toots.” He hushed her as he stared at her, “As long as you’re here, in my arms, I’ll be okay.”

They hugged for a while, as Rocket pulled away, his eyes glancing from her eyes to her lips as he carefully leant up and captured hers, kissing her soft and quickly.

They pulled back, Y/N blushing as she looked at him, “It’s been a while since I did that...” He chuckled as Y/N smiled, kissing him softly on his nose, “I won’t judge.” She went to stand but Rocket held onto the ends of her jacket, “One more.” He murmured before they kissed once again.

One week later

“Is everyone ready?” Peter shouted from the cockpit, as everyone hurried from where they were to sit in their seats, Y/N and Rocket being the last two to get to the cockpit. “Alright lovebirds, get in your seats, no hanky-panky though.”

“QUILL!” The two shouted as he laughed as well as Drax, “I am Groot!” Groot beamed, he was starting to look bigger than before as he sat on Y/N’s lap, “Where to Star-Lord?” Y/N asked.

“We have a task given to us by the Sovereign, seems like it could be a big job.” He said. “We’ll follow your lead then.” Gamora smiled beside him as he smiled back, “Let’s go then guys!” He beamed, starting the engine as the Milano zoomed off out of the atmosphere.
