Feast of Starlight 

          “It is Mereth Nuin Giliath;  The Feast of Starlight.  All light is sacred to the Eldar,  but the Wood Elves love best the light of the stars.  […]  I have walked there sometimes,  beyond the forest and up into the night.  I have seen the world fall away and the white light forever fill the air.”

          “I saw a fire moon once.  It rose over the pass near Dunland.  Huge!  Red and gold it was,  it filled the sky.”

Alternate Universe //  Flower Shop and Tattoo Parlor

          Breezing into the shop with a flower bouquet too large for a tattoo parlor and a bounce to her step,  Tauriel pointedly ignores the raised eyebrows and stares following after,  marching right up to her station and beginning the lengthy process of trying to fit the third vase of flowers with the two already present.  It might take a while to figure out despite the other bouquets being more reasonably sized,  that much is clear to herself and her co-workers.  Someone stifles a laugh,  probably Feren.  Another loosens a long-suffering sigh,  most likely Legolas.  A disgruntled scoff punctuates the silence,  definitely by her boss,  Thranduil,  and she can easily visualize an eye-roll paired with it.

          Arranging the newly bought flowers front and center,  a smile growing alongside the warmth in her chest,  she gently inhales the sweet fragrance.  In the months since the flower shop down the street opened,  and becoming reconnected with an old acquaintance who works there,  there’s been a lot more color present in her life.  And a lot more of something else as well.

           This bouquet is different than all the rest;  Kili had said this one is special,  and on the house.  Clusters of white camellias,  yellow tulips,  and blue salvias to name a few.  All arranged with slow carefulness and upmost care,  of bright brown eyes she’s come to daydream about overshadowed by a sweet shy smile that is more brighter today.  Tauriel is not sure how she manages not to trip over her words,  or feet,  when in the presence of him.  She does so plenty afterwards as Legolas is very quick to point out.

          It’s only after some further fussing does she note the small note tucked beneath the ribbon wrapped around the neck of the vase.  Taking it in hand and departing to the back of the shop to get ready for when the parlor opens,  Tauriel unfolds the neatly folded paper.  A smile blossoms upon her face,  and were the florist Kili present to see it,  he would claim if far more beautiful than any flower he’s ever seen.

prompt: family rating: G for @starbula-week, day 6

Nebula flops onto the bed with a content sigh.

“You had a good time tonight?” Peter’s taking off his jeans, getting ready for bed. 

“I did,” She props herself up on her elbows to get a better look at him. “I’m happy your grandparents like me.”

“Of course they do,” A balled up sock soars through the air, but misses the laundry basket. “Why wouldn't they?”

Nebula rolls her eyes a little, “Did you like me when we first met?” 

“Touché,” Peter concedes. “But, to be fair, you were a bit more assassin-y back then.” 

Nebula laughs. “Only a bit?”

Peter, finally undressed, joins Nebula on the bed. “Thanks for coming all this way to meet them.” 

Nebula places a hand on his cheek, a smile forming on her lips. “Of course, there's nowhere else I'd rather be.”

Starbula Week, Day 4: Oblivious / Realization

Since I still haven't visualized the exact scenario when Nebula has her "oh" moment of realizing her feelings for Peter (I just have a vague idea of it being after nearly a year of developing their unexpectedly close friendship and becoming team co-leads, post-Endgame; there are too many amazing scenarios to pin down one just yet), I thought I'd share my headcanon of how *Peter* realized his feelings for Nebula...

…by sharing the fantastic fic that explores this, Accidentally in Love. So today is just a recommendation to read that fic if you haven’t yet -- it's one of my favorite Starbula fics! 😆

Basically post-GOTG Vol 3, Nebula goes to earth to visit the Starks and Peter tags along, and while observing this side of Nebula he'd never known before, he finds himself realizing his true feelings for her... 🥲 SO GOOD!

The only change I make in my own headcanon version of this scenario is that Nebula actually comes to earth for Morgan's birthday party, and Peter somehow tags along to the party. Here are a few more (fun, in my biased opinion) details that go along with that scenario!

Maybe Nebula lets Peter know she'll be coming to earth and asks if he'd like to get lunch before the party, since she'll be in the neighborhood (so to speak). And once Peter learns she's coming for a birthday party, he weasels his way into coming too...even though he's never actually met Pepper and Morgan before. Pepper, of course, is aware of Nebula's feelings for Peter and is secretly elated about the extra guest, so she says of course he can join.

So it's at Morgan's birthday party (which is basically an all-ages party at the Stark's house, with friends like Rhodey in attendance) that Peter gets to see this new side of Nebula. The side that held Morgan when she was an infant, and played dress up with her during her infrequent visits to earth (Peter would definitely get a kick out of watching videos from the five years post-Snap provided by FRIDAY), and was a treasured part of this family. Peter would get to put some of the final pieces together of understanding the unique, complicated, and truly special person Nebula is, and at some point during the party, he'd finally have his "oh" moment.

Maybe it's while watching Nebula dancing goofily with Morgan. Maybe it's when he sees Nebula talking with Rhodey and getting irrationally jealous of her friendship with him. Maybe it's hearing stories about Nebula's growth and journey over the five years that he'd missed from Pepper. IDK, there are so many options in this scenario and I love them all lmao. Definitely partial to the Peter-being-jealous one, though. Maybe that's what tips him off to something being different near the start of the party, and things go on from there.

I also definitely headcanon that once the party is winding down that evening, Pepper insists that Peter and Nebula stay over at their home for the night. Since Pepper and Morgan get to see Nebula so infrequently, I bet she could be easily convinced to just stay over and leave after breakfast the next day, getting a little more time with them. And Peter absolutely doesn't want to leave Nebula's side, not that day's realization, so he's grateful for a little extra time.

That unlocks even more amazing Starbula moments at the Stark cabin...

For example, the two of them sitting alone at the Stark's fire pit, roasting marshmallows and waiting for Pepper to put Morgan to bed. Peter would be uncharacteristically quiet because he's still reeling from the realization that he has romantic feelings for one of his best friends, and maybe has been for a while. Nebula would be oblivious to this, of course, but would be able to clock that Peter's being kind of weird. But it's like a cute weird for them, idk how to explain 🥺

And then maybe once Pepper eventually goes to bed herself, the two then somehow end up stargazing while laying on the dock of the Stark's pond. They point out stars that Nebula can see from Knowhere and recount stories of their adventures across these stars. While Nebula is simply content to be with the man she loves, Peter is trying hard to hide the fact that he's having a mini-mental breakdown lolol.

Then as they're leaving the next morning, Pepper says something to Peter that lets him know that she knows. And that she is happy for him, and for Nebula. Of course, once again, Nebula is totally oblivious. (I'm SUCH a sucker for the idea that over the next several months (maybe a year?), Peter's pining for Nebula continues to grow comically large, while she remains completely unaware -- never even considering the fact that the man she loves could ever feel the same. It's SO GOOD ARGHGHH.)

And finally, when Nebula drops Peter back off in Missouri before returning to space, Peter watches her go and feels his heart drop to his feet.

...Shit.

Anyway, this is officially your PSA to read Accidentally in Love, along with the additional headcanon twist I’ve added to it! 😆 Happy Starbula Week day 4! 🎉

Somehow Gamora came back. No one can figure out how, but it happened. Bruce sent a message that Natasha returned, too. Everyone is happy.

Nebula is happy. She has grown so much in the years since the Blip, she is finally ready to have a relationship with her sister.

She is happy. Except for the small part of her that’s sad.

“It’s okay.” Nebula tells Peter.

It’s mostly the truth. They’ve only been dating for a few months. It's not like they were in love. Gamora is his soulmate.

“It’s okay.” She says again.

It will eventually be the truth.
