Endgame: Quill and Odinson

Summary:

What if Peter Quill/Star-Lord survived the snap? What if Rocket snapped instead of Groot? What if the Avengers had an even better plan for the Time Heist mission? Who will be sacrificed for the Soul Stone? A "What If?" story on the alternate events of "Avengers: Endgame" from the main perspectives of Peter Quill and Thor Odinson - two heroes who develop a relationship that blossoms over the course of the Endgame.

Notes:

You're reading my very first fic!

I, like most people, loved Avengers: Endgame. This is just a fun alternate take on the events of Endgame if peter Quill survived the snap. I will be skipping over some of the events of Endgame; since this is just from Quill and Thor's perspective, and some events will still play out as they did in the movie.

This is fic also for the ThorQuill shippers out there, as you can tell. But it’s gonna take a while. Subscribe!

Since most of you would have already seen Infinity War and Endgame, my writing will be succinct, straight, and to-the-point when it comes to events in both movies. Forgive me if I seem like I'm rushing through stuff. I don't think I would be able to write the amount that most other writers have been writing on other fics I've read.

Chapter 1: Prologue - The Snap

Chapter Text

Wakanda - Thor's POV

 

Thanos did it. Thanos actually won. He got all of the Infinity Stones and snapped his fingers. Half of all life in the universe is being wiped out.

"No, this can't be happening". Thor garbs Stormbreaker as he looks around in horror. Dust flew around to the ground. Fellow Avengers and Wakandans were disappearing left and right. All because he aimed for Thanos' chest instead of his head or even his hand. He had the chance to stop him, but he didn't. For him, it was all his fault. He didn't know what happened on Titan.

He runs around and sees Rocket and Groot on a log. Rocket begins to turn into dust before he can assure Groot that it's okay. "I am Groot". Groot couldn't believe it. "No, no, no, no." Those were Rocket's final words to his son-like figure. Groot sobs, still lying and wounded against the log.

The remaining Avengers - Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanov, James "Rhodey" Rhodes, and Bruce Banner - gather around the log. Vision's grey body still lies dead. Steve sits down.

"What is this? What the hell is happening?" Rhodey asks.

Steve is catching his breath. "Oh God".

All of them are speechless. They lost.

 


Titan - Quill's POV

 

"Oh man". Peter Quill just saw Drax and Mantis vanish into dust. Tony Stark, Peter Parker, Doctor Strange, and Nebula saw what had happened. Quill quickly realises, to his horror. "He did it. He won. He got all the Stones. It's happening."

They all turn to Strange, who's lying against a rock. He appears unsurprised, but clearly still shocked. Nebula looked sternly, "You knew this would happen. You saw the future. This had to happen..."

"If I told you...we won't win...there was no other way." Strange replied before he turned to dust.

"Mr. Stark? I don't feel so good", Parker limps towards Stark. Not the kid too.

"You alright?"

"I don't know what's happening."

Parker falls into Stark's arms, breaking him into tears. They knew what was going to happen.

"I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go, Stark, please. I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go." He sobs.

Parker finally falls onto the ground. He lets out one final whisper, "I'm sorry." He vanishes much to Stark's horror.

Quill and Nebula approach the distraught Stark. "He did it", whispered Nebula. She didn't want any of this.

All three of them lay down, clueless and in shock, on the grounds of Titan. Quill now wished he hadn't screwed things up on Titan. They had the chance to stop him. But he had to let his emotions get the better of him when he realised Gamora was dead. The love of his life, the sister of Nebula, the strongest of the Guardians of the Galaxy. She was killed by him, so he could get the Soul Stone.

Quill mutters, "If we couldn't stop him, the heroes on Earth couldn't do it either." Those words depressed Stark even further.

Silence looms over the three on Titan. "What now?", asked Quill.

 

Notes:

Just a short prologue is all I have for today. Will update with new chapters once I've got them planned out and done in advance, as well as explain the changes I made.

Also, please tell me if "get the better of him" is the right phrase.
