“I broke the lock. You were screaming.” Prompt Starlord X Gamora VOL 3 Timeline - Preview
Peter’s sleep recently had either been encouraged by alcohol or forced upon him by deprivation. Often, he’d find himself staring at the ceiling in his bedroom on the Bowie. His eyes would follow the lines in the grey metal, hoping to find himself somewhere in between that cold material. Or maybe he was looking for someone else.
Head shifting to the side, he stares intently at the empty space beside him. Nothing but regret and guilt housed within those sheets. Swallowing back a gentle whimper that threatened to escape, Quill caves and closes his eyes. There was fear embedded in every action as though he was unsure how to even breathe anymore.
And how could he? She was gone.
-Just a preview of a short upcoming fic I'm writing based on the 'I broke the lock. You were screaming' prompt. It's set during Vol 3 and is Starmora! ⭐💛

The Journey -Her Perspective
I'll never know his touch again
Those gentle hands with kind yet clumsy words
An idiot in all his glory
My space invader
Like a magnet I'm
Pulled
Unable to detach
Stuck to his side
In every universe
And as the melody
Guides me between the cosmos
Between both heaven and hell and beyond
The lunar rays subside
And I see him once more
My beautiful fool
He listens silently through his tears
And there's nothing I can do
But watch
Silent too
Our eyes lock
And the lyrics speak of love lost
But I will find him
In every galaxy
Through death and life we remain
We must
The final parting note chimes
And I retreat into the sprawling vastness
Like an estranged astronaut
Begging for solid ground
That will never greet me
But in his orbit I will stay
Never close but never far
A devoted satellite
Dancing with tangled constellations
In the hopes that I'll catch a glimpse of him
Just once more
Just once more
Please.
This is my 2nd piece in my poem set for this art I created, this time from Gamora's perspective! 🥺 You can find the version from Quill's version I wrote here: https://www.tumblr.com/jimprestonapologist/721767407885090816/the-tape-his-perspective?source=share

The Tape - His Perspective
Each night she returns to him
Not in the form she once possessed
But in one he loves all the same
With the click of a button
She comes to him
Lifted by sweet melody
Inside the bedroom that once housed yearning glances
'I love you's and 'I'll never leave you's
Now only
'I miss you' remains
Uttered from a single mouth and a cassette tape
But in the blink of an eye
She’s there
In all her glorious light
As if nothing was ever lost
As if he had never failed
As if she had always remained
His
And for a moment, he believes it
For a moment her fingertips almost feel real
As the ceiling opens and the galaxy unfolds into view
Their eyes lock and the universe corrects all wrongs
Reunited under the sprawling heavens
The two lovers meet
Again
The twinkling constellations that embody his love
They sing to him
Carrying lyrics into the cold emptiness of space
Which awaits him once the performance is through
The audience is silent as the curtains close
And the swirling hues of the solar system unwind
He's alone once more
There's a hint in that familiar song
As though traces of a love lost remains
Etched onto the very tape he holds
So tight
Delicate
The man could crush it
But he never will
With each rewind, she's back
Within reach
Yet galaxies apart they remain.

Romantic things that take my breath away
Slow dancing in the living room/kitchen to the sound of "Everybody Loves Somebody" (or another song with a special meaning for them) side smiles, butterflies on the stomach, listening to each other's heartbeats through the music.
Stargazing. One of them looking intently at the sky, saying, "Isn't this beautiful?" The other look at them and say, "I've never seen anything more beautiful." (my heart>>>>)
One of them is sick, like, really sick. And the other cancell all their plans to take care of them. (ooomg🥹)
In a car ride, one of them is really tired and falls asleep. The other don't want to wake them up 'cause they look so peaceful, so they keep driving for hours 'til the other wake up by their own selves.
After an awful day on work, one of them finally gets home late at night and see their partner awake. "Hi,honey. I was waiting you for dinner!" They say with the sweetest smile (🤧🤧🤧)
Even though they love each other, one of them remains insecure about marriage. "What if...What if I'm never ready?" "I can wait for you for ever, my love" (Sad? Sad. But a fluffy sad)
One of them returns from a long business trip. The first thing they do when they get home is hug their partner and lift them in the air as they kiss all over their face. (Oh SOOO cute💞)
Hope you like it as much as I liked it!🫶🏻 Also hope it helped you!

Can we talk about the difference in how Peter's alcoholism and depression was handled in vol 3 in contrast to Thor's in endgame??? Like hello?!?!? For a millisecond I was worried they were gonna treat Peter like a joke but immediately they showed us the worry in all the guardians for his state, Nebula carried him and put him in bed and they all make sure he was ok, and even later they were talking about how worried they are and how they can help him, no jokes about his physical condition or anything like that and him being passed out drunk wasn't framed as funny but as heartbreaking and also they showed us Nebula being rightfully mad at Peter's actions and him taking responsibility on it and started trying to heal and becoming better, they all love him so much I just can't

“say you won’t let go” - some touch starved scenarios
prompt list by @novelbear
heart pounding whenever the other does so much as to hold onto their wrist while guiding them through a crowd
one just casually sitting down on the other's lap and they start internally freaking the hell out
hesitantly tugging the other's fabric of their shirt or sleeve, testing the waters
^^ the other notices so they pull them into a hug, smiling as they just watch them melt
"wait, don't go, please.."
"is this okay?" "it's more than okay."
already barely holding it together as they're getting their hand held but then they feel that reassuring squeeze and they just can't
wearing the others' clothes so that it can at least feel like they're hugging them, even for just a moment
feeling so lonely that they have to call their lover/friend, just to get a sense and reminder that they're still there
^ trying and failing to hold back their tears as they do so
"can i have one more hug?" "aw, babe you don't have to ask, c'mere..."
when the other holds onto their waist briefly as they're passing by and it just send chills down their spine
breaking down mid-hug because they just needed this so much
their breath hitching whenever the other gets a little closer
^ feeling crushed when that action is taken as a sign of discomfort, and they watch them slowly back off
holding onto a stuffed animal/pillow, imagining that it's their lover in their embrace instead
one leaning their head onto the other's shoulder suddenly and they just freeze
"i wasn't sure how much longer i could have taken this..."
