There’s No Such Thing... right? (ao3) - AsGuardedAsTheGalaxy gamora/peter, peter/rocket, groot/rocket T, 7k
Summary: Halloween GOTG fic
On the bright side, they’ve narrowed it down to either a ghost, demon or literal nightmare terrorising them on their own ship. On the dark side... well, it seems as though they’re about to find out.
Screaming, running and blood seeping from the walls... not ideal when you’re on a spaceship with nowhere to escape.
And Peter thought Halloween would be fun...
...In space no one can hear you scream.

“You’re not.”
“What?”
“You’re not going to miss me more,” Nebula says in her most don’t you dare argue with me on this tone. “You can’t.”
