A collection of one-shots and drabbles following everybody's favorite Trash Panda, Rocket, and his team of misfits, as they squabble and clash, lean on one another and grow. And, most importantly, learn what it's like to be a team again...to be a family. Very mild language (but then again, it is Rocket we're dealing with!)

[ENDGAME SPOILERS!] Things had changed since Peter was last on the Benatar. It was his ship, but it wasn't his. Nor, he realized slowly, was his team. (No slash, no smut!)

Not only did Gamora die on that fateful day in Vormir but so have the times she, Peter and the others spent together. Or Peter Quill, Thor and the Guardians try to merge past and present Gamora. SPOILERS! Endgame fix-it

Nobody blames Peter Quill more than himself. Post Infinity War.

For the second time in less than five minutes, Peter froze. The voice sounded so distant as if he was underwater and yet their owner couldn't have been more than ten feet away because Peter heard it clearly despite the raucous around him. He thought he was dreaming or hallucinating because there was no way he could be hearing her voice of all…

There, I fixed Infinity War. HUGE HUGE SPOILERS. Post-Endgame update (no spoilers): Changed the title from "Reality." Working on follow-up.

After almost losing Peter twice, Gamora decides that it's time to tell him how she feels. (Starmora Week 2017 - Day 7: Unspoken)

Ego never landed on Earth, but the Quills were meant for the stars regardless.

Groot and Rocket are friends who have each others' backs and take care of each other no matter what. Now what are they celebrating and why are they celebrating? (Autistic!Groot)

It's Groot's birthday. Okay, it hasn't been anywhere near a year since he sprouted, and the whole concept of a year is kind of meaningless in space anyway, but Peter just really wants to throw a birthday party for Groot, what's wrong with that?

Had Nebula decided to stay and not go off to murder Thanos, a suicidal mission if Rocket had ever heard one, Mantis might've had the privilege of being second runner-up on Rocket's list of most disliked team members. (Rocket/Mantis)

AU: Yondu high-tails it off Ego's planet with Mantis in tow, and is therefore stuck with both her and with Peter.

Rocket doesn't like the new members of the team. Mantis especially. But maybe with some consideration, something can grow... Friendship/crushing little one shots to show the cuter side of their relationship.

Everyone knew what Mantis could do. Nobody stopped to think about what it could mean for the Guardians. MAJOR SPOILERS FOR GOTG VOL. 2! WATCH IT BEFORE READING!

Peter's fine. Really. Sure, his father ended up being a homicidal maniac who liked impaling him through the chest, he almost got everyone he cared about dead and succeeded with one, but really. He's fine. Just don't ask his team.

Yondu remembers the first time he acted like a father towards Peter as he experiences the last

After destroying Ego's planet and loosing the only father he had, Peter isn't sure what comes next for the Guardians, or more specifically; for him. He was half celestial. His dad was sort of a planet, or a god. But he knew with Ego destroyed, everything about ever being immortal or all powerful was gone, but it was still part of him, right?

*GotG2 spoilers!* Five Times Peter remembers Yondu after his death. All of them are painful.

"Freedom is sweet, but so is the taste of revenge." In this two-part one-shot, explore the inner thoughts of a lesser character who has more potential than she thinks. Blinded by hatred and hurt, will Nebula be able to remember who she is?

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 SPOILERS LIE WITHIN. Mantis is wandering around the Ravager ship when she stumbles upon Peter trying to hold on to the one gift Ego gave him.

Mantis wants to pet and coo at Rocket so badly but Rocket won't let her...until she finds out his secret. This fic is based off of the two scenes in Guardians of the Galaxy volume 2 where Mantis called Rocket cute and adorable

Terran biology is confusing and so are feelings. Light Starmora, spoilers for Vol. 2

The movie left me with FEELINGS, ok? Yondu Udonta, on the Code, his life, and Peter Quill

GOTG2 Spoilers! The Guardians of The Galaxy get called by the Nova Corps immediately after everything happens, and need them to get to Xandar soon. What could possibly have happened? (Sucky Summary lol but I don't want to spoil the plot XD)

Post GOTG Volume 2: five times the Guardians experienced strange, inexplicable phenomena by themselves, and one time they did so together. In which everyone is utterly confused except for Mantis, who knows quite a bit about glowing light energy. SEQUEL CHAPTER now up! In which Rocket becomes a local hero and Peter deals with grief from the past.
