As Sweet as a Rose (as Brittle as a Diamond) by Neptuneisaplanet
Fandoms: Steven Universe (Cartoon)

Summary
Steven didn't know what was happening. One moment he was on trial and then the next Blue Diamond was cradling him in her hand. And on top of that, they acted almost civil around him. It was really strange, especially considering that they had just been talking about how to kill him.
It was safe to say that this was not going how he envisioned it.
Or, Rose's secret of being Pink Diamond is revealed during the trial and Steven has to deal with the repercussions of that

Pearl's in denial for a long while.
Steven's half-human, sure, but he's also a Gem - a Diamond, at that. Other Gems might be susceptible to the passage of time, in one way or another, but Diamonds are above that.
But nothing lasts forever - she should know that by now.

Summary
The Diamonds' pearls have always been told that they're the best pearls on Homeworld, and have grown to look down upon others of their own kind. But when a bizarre, chatty, and seemingly fearless pearl accidentally enters their sights, they learn that there lives much talent on Homeworld outside of their bubbles -- and most importantly, that they're not as different from so-called 'common' pearls as they had originally thought.

Summary
The main entrance panel of the ship hissed as the door in front of her split in two with a mechanical yet fluid motion. It was her first time off of Homeworld, the unfamiliarity and uncertainty of it all made her extremities cold and her posture stiff, even in the presence of her garnet. She knew not to frown or pout around strangers, but she learned how her form would betray her at the most inconvenient times...
“Welcome to Veritas!”

Summary
From a patch of dirt to space, to Earth. The story of a small spinel, from her creation to Era 3, through ups and downs.
Here I've been trying to imagine together with my partner how a lesser spinel would exist though eras, how she may be praised, pampered, abused, and mistreated just for being a spinel. Enjoy.
[...]
In front of her stood a garnet, orange like her very own boots, her gem placed below her abdomen like hers, radiant like the light that came from above her enclosure. The garnet starred, first at her poofy light hair than at her small chest, down to her heart-shaped gem. The little spinel didn’t flinch or shy away from her gaze as she studied her, she was so happy to be in her mistress' presence, the worry that she may be crippled or defective didn’t even cross her mind at that moment, she was just so happy to exist.
“Welcome, Spinel. I’m Spessartine, and now you are my property.”
“I would never be anyone else's, my Spessartine!”

Summary
"We're finally free. Welcome home. It's just you and me now, standing alone. The world is ours-"
"No, it isn't."
"Get in the car."
"This isn't finished."
"What?"
Everyone made mistakes. It was something Steven's therapist stressed to him time and again, but he had always had difficulty grasping the idea that other people could screw up as badly as he could. Of course, just when he's beginning to accept this, when he's finally reached his Happily Ever After, someone has to come in and destroy it all.An AU in which Future happened before the movie, and Spinel destroys things in ways that she didn't in canon. The Crystal Gems are gone, half of Steven feels as if he's betrayed Connie, the other half is missing an arm, and the Earth is doomed. What better way to fix things than to go back and prevent Spinel from stealing his Happily Ever After?
In the words of Mr. Universe, it's a one way ticket, and he's ready to ride.

“Are you also the same Rose Quartz that influenced and corrupted the former pearl of White Diamond? [.] The renegade pearl?”
.
“Thank you.”
It was a strange moment for Steven – he had heard and learned about how Homeworld treated pearls, but he had never actually seen another pearl besides his own and the Diamonds’ pearls. This pearl, who hadn’t once looked up at him or made any type of eye contact, suddenly looked up at his gratitude, blue eyes wide in either shock or terror.
“That’s enough out of you!” the ruby called, stomping over and grabbing the pearl by the arm. “We know how you manipulate other gems and the last thing we want is another lost pearl. Come on.”
[.] The sight of that gem yelling at a pearl unnerved him and he couldn’t help but think of the time he had heard Pearl say almost the identical thing.
“I’m just a pearl. I’m useless on my own.”
It had been hard to hear Pearl say something like that and it hadn’t been the first time or the last that Steven would be privy to the emotional scarring his guardian held in her heart. Had someone yelled at her like that? Had someone treated her the way that ruby had treated the other pearl? Even the mere mention of helping a pearl had been met with disgust…
.
9.1
White wanted the young Diamond to grow into her potential, to express these…grand ideas she had with the start of a new colony, but she also didn’t want the youngster to just run amuck with gems under command. She would need guidance, especially when on a hostile planet alone, and she would need some that could be given and perform tasks to the best of their abilities.
That meant there was only one choice.
White gifted to Pink her very own pearl.
.
Pearls who were owned by the gem elites had slightly more privileges, though not much, and could be treated with slightly more respect than a common pearl. And no pearl had higher status than a Diamond’s pearl.
A Diamond’s pearl was the personal attendant for a Diamond and was always by their side. While their role was the same as any other pearl, their position as an aide or even confidant for their glorious leaders put them on a higher tier than even rubies or amethysts. No one dared to threaten or mistreat a Diamond’s pearl – a gem could easily be shattered for just looking at a Diamond’s pearl the wrong way.
That’s how much influence they could have.
This particular pearl had the distinct honor of once belonging to White Diamond. She had been made personally to be everything the leader of Homeworld wanted and needed in a pearl – loyal, intelligent, eager to please – but something went wrong in this pearl’s creation process. Instead of the perfect circle that should’ve adorned her forehead, the gem had come out elongated by about two inches.
This pearl was defective, but for some strange reason, White Diamond held on to her. That is, before she gifted her away to Pink. The process of creating pearls was slightly quicker than say the military elite, however it still took time, especially when all pearls were custom for their owner; Pink, eager to get started on colonizing her new planet, would be patient as her pearl was being created, however she couldn’t go to Earth without an attaché, so White had graciously given her the use of her own pearl.
.
one thing if the pearl was doing the quartz’s bidding (which most thought she was anyway) and it would be understandable if she was holding on to the traitor’s stuff, but she wasn’t. If anything, the pearl was worse than Rose Quartz.
The pearl seemed to have no master and didn’t take orders from the gem she followed; she also knew and understood combat, something no ordinary pearl would or should know. She always carried two swords with her, using them as though she had been…trained to do so; she was also ruthless. No gem that came across her left a fight unscathed, usually being reduced to their gem
.
9.2 [pearl was a spy for white diamond in pink diamonds court]
9.3 [double agent pearl, from white spy on pink, to rose spy on white pink, pink diamond shattered by accident mid battle]
.
9.4
No one knew where she came from, but always by Rose Quartz’s side was…a pearl. It was a concept that even the lowest and newest ruby couldn’t understand – it would be
reappearing back at the designated base.
Even now, with her reputation known very well on Earth colony, the sight of her still rendered those who fought for the side of Homeworld mute with surprise. She was a renegade pearl.
And she was terrifying.
.
9.7-11 [crystal gems captured trying to rescue Steven, (human zoo, conscripted back to court sapphire in exchange for Ruby Steven safety, nearly mind wiped lobotomized pearl back to white pearl) then the escape] -

Summary
" If you fail Earth, your first colony, " White Diamond said personally to Pink. White never made "If" statements, since she was super sure about everything all the time, so Pink had to be serious as she was anxious and stressed about what may she had to do, " we will take away your pearl. "
" I won't. " she said.
And, surprisingly, she didn't. Almost.
or
Pink Diamond is not Rose Quartz, yet she would do anything to save her own Pink Pearl.

Summary
Yellow Pearl laughed at Steven's words. Modeling? Yes, she suppose she does like this, it was very enjoyable.
If Blue Pearl could have her passion, then why couldn't she?
If this is what "fun" is, Yellow Pearl liked it.
