Rated M for language, violence and adult content (nsfw chapters will be marked as such). Continued from Vital: Part One - Terra and Vital Part Two - Space; Kraglin’s background based on Loyalty (which is a prequel of sorts to the Vital Series).

Ch 1 | Ch 2 | Ch 3 | Ch 4 | Ch 5

Yondu wakes uncharacteristically early, before sunrise. His thoughts go to you instantly, and he can sense you’re still asleep; there’s a peaceful quietude there. He stands at the balcony outside his room for a while, drinking in the cool breeze and staring out over the pale ocean until the stars wink out and the first strips of sunlight breach the horizon.

Then he turns back inside and draws himself a bath. He takes his time shaving his face and washing under his nails. As he sits, arms draped over the sides of the tub and knees drawn up above the waterline, he waits. 

He waits for the intrusive thoughts to come and bury his mind alive - the ones that tell him he’s not good enough, not worth it, not deserving of the happiness of this day or the love of the woman that is set to become his wife.

But they don’t come.

Chapter Summary: Ego sends bounty hunters to retrieve Peter.

A/N: The nice thing about Yondu Week is that I get to revisit little bits n’ pieces and drabbles I’ve written over the years and flesh those ideas out. This is one of that’s been sitting in my documents for quite some time. I tweaked it a bit, and it turned out quite different than how it was intended.

“Who sent you?“ Yondu snarls, slamming the man’s head against the bar. "Where the hell is the kid?”

It had only been a feeling that something was wrong at first, a persistent nagging at the edge of his mind and inside his chest. Then, as he started looking around, picking out faces and movements in the crowded bar, he’d noticed the out-of-place garb and edgy mannerisms of the masked man near the exit. It was at nearly the same moment that he realized he couldn’t hear Quill – and looking around wildly, realized he couldn’t see him either.

Chapter summary: When his First Mate gets attacked at a Ravager meeting, Yondu steps in.

As Yondu passes into the once-grand hall, he glances sidelong at Kraglin, who walks at his side.

The hall, mostly in ruins today, was once the home of one of Stakar Ogord’s ancestors, and now serves as a secret meeting place in neutral space for the 100 Ravager Captains and their lieutenants. It’s Yondu’s first meeting in over two decades, and Kraglin’s first ever.

The fact that Kraglin is even here at all means a lot to Yondu, though of course he’ll never say as much. He knows how much Kraglin dislikes Stakar Ogord, because of the way Yondu was exiled; he hasn’t quite forgiven the Ravager Admiral, even after they were brought back into the Ranks. He knows Kraglin isn’t here by choice, and that there are million places he’d rather be. But even though Yondu does not hold Kraglin responsible for the mutiny, his duty as First Mate is not something Kraglin will never compromise ever again, and he is determined his loyalty will never come into question either, so here he is.

Chapter Summary: Yondu makes the most important decision of his life.

Yondu’s not exactly when he decided it.

Maybe it was when he dropped off the fifth child, Zoola. When he touched down on Ego’s planet, he noticed, not for the first time, that there was no sign of the girl’s sisters or brothers. No sounds of distant laughter or play. A dread, one that had started off as a small itch in the back of his mind, began to grow like a tapeworm in his belly.

Or perhaps it was when he pulled Ego aside. As the Celestial’s most recently delivered progeny, Evir, went skipping off to chase jewel colored-bubbles in the flowered field beyond, Yondu flat out demanded to know what had happened to the seven other children he’d delivered. Ego had laughed. To this day, the memory of the sound makes his stomach roil.

So I did a thing. I put all of my Vital-universe stories in one list that links back to the stories on AO3 (because Tumblr links can get funky sometimes).

If you want to read up before Vital Part 3 begins, here you go! Links below the cut! :D

Tumblr ate two of my anonymous requests tonight. >.> Luckily I keep a copy of the requests in the document I use for my fics so I still have them, but it would be nice to be able to actually answer them properly. 

Anyway, thank you to the two lovely anons who requested these! I apologize that it’s taken so long to write this, and since the requests were kinda similar, I decided to just write one for both. :)

Anon # 1:  I know you are probably not taking requests lol and that ok It just an idea I had and am way to self conscious to write it myself and I couldn’t think of someone else to tell it to because your Yondu works are so amazing! So Yondu and the reader is in love with him he doesn’t know yet (or has been with him for some time) but she kept secret that she is part kree in fear that he would hate her and kick her off the ship But he finds out due to her getting hurt and bleeding blue How would he react? 

Anon #2:  Are you still taking The Kiss Prompt request?! If so is it okay I request a number 11. “Are you sure iit’s ok and the other kisses them. With Yundo and female reader, where she kept a secret from him of her being half kree because she was afraid he would hate her and or kick her out of the crew?
