Summary
“You’re angry,” he nods to himself, seeming somehow reassured. Anger is what he expected.
It’s what’s easy to expect from her. And the familiarity of it, that darkness filling her unnatural eyes, makes him miss everything else that’s there too. “You had to know and now I know,” she says and it’s not anger behind the words, it’s frustration and confusion and a perfect storm of all the things her life didn’t need.
It’s melted gold dancing through her wiring, no longer letting her ignore it. The truth she wouldn’t allow to be a part of her life.
Something was missing. Something she didn’t want to want – and did.
And now it had a taste.

Summary
a short nebula-centric angst scene i pulled out of knowhere (get it?)
The song playing on the speaker drowned out Nebula’s thoughts, and she supposed Peter liked it that way.
After all, she knew exactly what was going through his mind. Because it was was all she could think about too.

Summary
“Tivan,” Nebula says, in a quiet enough tone - that still succeeds in making the man immediately forget whatever half-formed argument he was about to make. His full attention now hanging on her next word. “You wanted the Warlock, I brought you the Warlock. Pay up. Or get a demonstration of every augmentation I have.”
“There’s no need for threats, my dear. I’m simply…”
“Stalling.”
There is an unhappy expression forming on the Collector’s face. If one that doesn’t even hint at the possibility of a double-cross. What with the man appearing to have a healthy sense of self-preservation, for all his posturing. In the end managing only a weak, “That is an utterly obscene amount of money."
“Which is why I was surprised you were willing to pay it,” replies the former Guardian, perfectly deadpan. “But that was the deal.”
“We had a verbal agreement at best and…”
The protest is weak, but still plenty to get Nebula to a point when she’s no longer willing to strain to continue keeping things civil. Her next few words possessing just a trace of an edge that wasn’t there before. “Do you want me to take him back? Because I can take him back.”

Summary
"You are full of emotion," Gamora whispered. "So much rage." She reached out again, stroking her hand down the length of Nebula's arm, where flesh met metal. "Let me help you. Let me show you love."

Summary
“Quill, Groot, Mantis,” Rocket says in that broken tone. “Drax.”
“Gamora,” Nebula finishes. She swallows. “We’re the only ones left.”
or:
In five years, Thanos will be defeated, the rest of the Guardians will return, and everything will be alright. But not for five years.

Always another enemy by von_gikkingen

Summary
“Even if you win we are not the last enemies you’ll face. All you love will be taken from you. You are not the only avenger biding their time. Others will be born for one purpose only. To hurt you like none ever did. I do hope, my dear girl, that your future lies down that path of gold. That you’ll feel that powerlessness. The pain. The loss.”
“Gold,” Nebula repeats. A soft noise with the edge of laugh to it spills past her lips and there is nothing like the foreboding he hoped to inspire in those black eyes.
“Go on. Underestimate them. Feel certain in your ability to stand your ground against the likes of them. It will be a Sovereign that will give you a taste of fear again, long after all your old tormentors are nothing but dust...”
She still doesn’t believe. All she thinks of is the enemy of now. The fight of today. All that hangs in balance in this moment.
It is only the sorcerer that knows all that might yet come.

Summary
“Oh no...” says her fellow employee – the one who took such pleasure in putting as many obstacles between Tivan and the meeting with Nebula he seemed to be after. “Howard, you had one job.”
“It was doomed to fail,” she commiserates with her colleague. That currently looked equal parts furious yet not ready to give up the prospect of being the employee of the months around here. “You know he can’t be denied forever. He will talk to her eventually.”
“Yes, but we’re trying to postpone that horrible thing from happening for as long as we can. After everything she’s done for us the least we can do is keep her days Tivan-free.”
Well... at least it was coming from a good place. All that not on my watch fury her colleague was approaching this with.

Summary
“You’re not going to find anything wrong. There’s never anything wrong. We check every time because it’s... what we do. It’s a ritual. And whenever we do get in the kind of fight that makes Rocket go time to run a full diagnostic, just in case, all we end up learning... relearning... is that I’m the next best thing to unkillable,” Nebula explains, even as she starts attaching ports in her forearm and the side of her head to the complex machinery that took up most of the room. “I’ll only take a minute. Just so I can say I already had a look and nothing is wrong and he...”
“Can’t call you a liar?” she guesses, getting the picture. “What will you say when he asks why he can’t see for himself?”
There is no answer. Only soft sounds from several of her machines, making her feeling pretty damn redundant. Standing in the corner as the usually so uncommunicative Guardian does what she must have been doing for years, ever since the worry about structural integrity of her cybernetic systems replaced concerns about things like broken bones and damaged organs.

Summary
“What do you want, Phyla?” Nebula asks tiredly.
“I still don’t understand why he had to leave. Starlord.”
“If he knew how easy it was to convince all of you to call him that, he’d probably still be here, beaming every time he heard you say it,” sighs her favourite grownup. “Why don’t you...”
“So you never call?” she continues, ignoring what was no doubt going to be a request for her to run along and play. “Why?”
“Because I don’t have to. All I have to do is wait. He’ll call me every few days. With all the horrible advice he can think of.”

Summary
“The second I get back someone will ask me a stupid question...” she says, in a more or less resigned tone.
“But they’ll be asking you a stupid question in a city that... works,” he points out. “Because you know exactly who to yell at to make things happen...”
“Yes. We already established I’m great at this,” she replies, a hint of a smile tugging at her lips. “I need to go back, don’t I?”
“I... don’t know,” he admits. “I want to say nothing’s going to burst into flames just because you’re not there, looking over everyone’s shoulder... but... There are a lot fewer fires when you’re around.”

Summary
“You don’t understand.”
“I do.” There was an intensity in his voice, a passion that she hadn’t prepared for. “I may have been the one locked in a cage, but you were a prisoner, too, Nebula.”
He was trying to defend her. To defend her honor, her actions. The very ones that had led her to attack them, that had made her complicit in the deaths of so many people. It made her feel sick to her stomach, made her gears turn wrong and her sensitive flesh ache.
“It’s not the same,” Nebula repeated, stubborn and defiant and desperate to make him understand.
“How? How is it not the same?”
“You didn’t deserve it.”
or, nebula and rocket have a much-needed conversation about the past after the events of guardians 3

Summary
Those emotions came in surges big and small, sometimes springing leaks in her walls and her bodily crevices. They'd shatter into salty foams and outlive the needless thoughts that started all the problems in the first place.
Some would leave her terribly shivering and drenched.
Some would begrudgingly wander off by themselves with an uncertain promise to return.
It was unnerving for her to do nothing but watch herself erode.

Summary
“Whenever Peter comes back, I am making him go with Drax for storytime,” Nebula mutters under her breath, scowling as a picture from Peter appears in her inbox.
(Alright, so technically it’s all their faults that Knowhere is now overrun by tiny psychic children.
But still, all the other Guardians besides Mantis and Peter have been back to pitch in and help, but noooo, these two had to run off and “confront their pasts”/”find themselves.”
It’s those damn Living Planet genes, she’s sure of it.
Fucking Celestials.
At least Peter had sent a picture, Mantis hadn’t sent her anything.)

Summary
It strikes Nebula, suddenly, that Mantis is a lot like the sun. Peaceful and warm and bright, but sometimes, too bright. Almost stiflingly so, like it’s difficult to look at her for too long.

Summary
“What do you want, Bereet?”
“You’re not... Peter...” says the startled sounding Krylorian on her screen. “Oh god – did something happened to him?”
There is a real worry on her pretty face as she says the words, too. Making Nebula rethink the reply she was about to give. “He’s fine. He went back to Terra.”
“Is that why...” starts the other woman, her confusion slowly clearing up. A smile tugging at the corner of her lips as she gets the picture. “I was getting really worried. He hasn’t drunk call me all week. Which is a record.”

Summary
The children often go to Drax if they need comfort or something else. It makes sense. He is a dad, he is good with children. So why would one come to her?
But that doesn’t mean Nebula won’t help and comfort the girl.
