It would be easier to fight the bad guys if for one moment the team could stop fighting each other. A general guardian's fic. As the original work is very much an ensemble piece, I'm writing this as a shifting focus story, focusing on one character or the relationship between two characters per chapter and shifting frequently. One suggested "Awesome mix tape 2" song per chapter.

In Star Lord, Volume 2: Peter Quill/Star Lord, Gamora, and the Guardians continue to move forwards following the events of the movie Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. This story continues to explore Peter's psyche and that inexplicable 'unspoken thing' between Peter and Gamora. This is rated M primarily for language and the ongoing complexity in Peter and Gamora's relationship.

The thing about Peter is that he's remarkably capable of provoking emotion from people. So when someone decides to take advantage of that fact, the Guardians react. Poorly.
