Darcy & Peter Quill

A/N: This is an AU where Tony lived after Endgame. Darcy was one of the people that disappeared in the snap and is now employed by Stark Industries to take care of Tony and the other scientists.
"Dude, are you playing Blue Suede?!"
Peter received his words when he was 3 years old. At the time, Blue Suede made no sense to he or his mother, who was overjoyed to know that her son has a soulmate somewhere. She often liked to make a game of guessing what Peter's soulmate would be like. In the end it didn't matter because she died and then Peter was taken by the Raiders. Any thought of his soulmate (who, at that point, Peter knew had to be awesome) vanished once he figured out that girls in space didn't know what a cassette tape was.
Fast forward to present time and Peter still hasn't met his soulmate. He and Gamora had tried to make it work but between their joint Daddy issues, working in close quarters, and differences in personality it was decided they were better off as friends. There was a fling or two after their breakup but when Thanos started to take strides in invoking his master plan all thoughts of romance was placed on the backburner. Even now, with Thanos destroyed, Gamora dead, and the Guardian's stranded on earth, Peter hasn't given much thought to finding his soulmate. What he didn't know is that fate had other plans in store for him.
A few months after the battle at the Avengers Compound Tony was finally healthy enough to start working. His first project was repairing the Guardian's ship that was destroyed. Peter, of course, wasn't about to let the oversized tin can work on his baby alone so he could often be found in the hanger either annoying Tony or working on his own projects. At this time, he was blasting the music from his original cassette tape over the loudspeaker while he worked on assembling the new seats to go in the cockpit.
He was so in the zone that he didn't realize that a young woman had burst into the room looking half crazed with remains of whipped cream on her face and cherries scattered in her hair. She appeared to be looking for something- or someone- but when she realized that hanger was clear she calmed down. Well, she was calm for a second until she realized what was song was playing.
"Dude, are you playing Blue Suede?!"
Peter was surprised by the words and ended up dropping the hammer he was holding on his foot, causing him let out a string of cuss words. He was initially surprised by the presence of somebody else in the room, but once he registered what was said he was more taken aback by the fact that his soulmate just walked into the room. Once he got over that Peter finally took a good look at his soulmate. She was shorter than him quite a bit, had long dark hair, and blue eyes that seemed to spark with mischief. If Peter wasn't so impressed by her taste in music, he would have focused more on her impressive figure.
"Finally, a girl that appreciates my jams!"
The mystery girl gaped at his words. She can't believe she just found her soulmate! And he was pretty hot, possibly hotter than Thor even. "Glad to know that my soulmate has good taste in music. What is your name hot stuff?"
"Peter Quill," Peter said has he started walking over to her. Once he was in front of her, Peter extended his arm out, palm facing out. "But everyone calls me Starlord. Care to dance, beautiful?"
"It's great to finally meet you, Starlord. I'm Darcy Lewis. And I would love to dance." Smiling, the woman took his hand and the two began swaying to the sounds of Elvin Bishop's I Fooled around and Fell in Love. The two quickly hit it off, much to Tony's dismay, and were inseparable for the remainder of the Guardian's time on earth.
Fast forward 4 months later and Darcy was now known as Star Lady and was exploring the galaxy with her Starlord as they jammed out with the ships newly updated sound system, a wedding present courtesy of Tony.
