    Summary

    As Steven Universe grew up, human puberty didn’t prepare him for the various gem abilities that would develop in his body that no one even thought about. The kinds of things the gems would hesitate to even call “abilities,” since such things come without saying.

    Or: 5 times Steven Universe is half-gem, and one where he’s half-human.

    Inspired by a stupendous fic I read just today, and has helped inspire some plans I have!

    Summary

    Connie Swap is a completed fanfic series with Connie as the gem hybrid trying to live up to the expectations put on her by her guardians (Peridot, Lapis, and Jasper), her dad (Doug), and the long shadow cast by her mom (Citrine). Connie's adventure begins with Episode 1: Gem Glow and it quickly diverges from there.

    Connie Swap draws inspiration from the show but it reinterprets as it goes: Connie is a very different protagonist than Steven and these are very different Crystal Gems. Each episode contains original art and several contain original songs.

      “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

    In another world, the other Diamonds decided to allow Pink Diamond to keep the organics on Earth alive in a moment that changed history, expecting that she would lose interest in them within a few hundred years and complete her colony the way it was supposed to be done.

    Six thousand years later, Pink Diamond's son Steven is born, with his mother and father watching him emerge and smiling the entire time.

    Steven Universe originates from Rebecca Sugar and Cartoon Network.

    AUTHOR'S NOTE: This series has been placed on hiatus for the near future, mostly. I can't promise that I'll update too much, sorry. My motivation for SU-related things has more or less dried up after Future ended.
     

    I am probably not going to be writing too much for this series for a while - after SUF ended, my interests have just started moving on as well. I am not going to abandon it entirely, but a lot of my writing energy will be applied to other stuff.

    Summary

    Steven tried. He really had. He tried his best, but his bubble still wouldn't form. He didn't know whether it was because he was stuck inside - what did Jamie call her? - this quagmire of yellow, or because of how much stress he was currently under.

    Everyone's lives depended in his ability to use his bubble to make the two Topazes unfuse, but what if that didn't work? Steven really should've thought of a plan b. But unfortunately he doesn't have one and can't think properly with how hard he's trying to form his bubble.

    He distantly heard the ship door close, but paid no mind to it. He had to concentrate! The ship slightly rocked, having been stopped by a powerful force. But again, Steven paid no mind.

    Eventually a pink light appeared, centering on him. He smiled, yes! His plan was working!

    That is until Aquamarine noticed the strange pink glow, and used her beam to hold him, Topaz, and all the other hostages still.

    The pink glow faded, and so did Steven's hope of escape.

    Summary

    The Renegades AU focuses on a divergent timeline in which Steven Universe is unable to escape the clutches of the Diamonds and Homeworld during the "I Am My Mom" arc. True to Blue Diamond's word, she provides a punishment worse than what Steven initially imagined - rather than shatter his gem, she forces him into the life of a Homeworld soldier; after all, the best punishment "would be to force her back into the life she despised so much that she shattered her own Diamond, right?"

    While on Homeworld, Steven meets his punishment head on with determination. He manages to find friends among the gems who hate him, and adapts to the harsh life of a Homeworld soldier. And just beneath the surface, a war rages against Homeworld - one that threatens both Steven, as well as the Diamonds.

      "what was that about? What'd you say to her?"
      Steven frowned for a moment, puzzled. Berry sounded less accusing and more genuinely curious, albeit somewhat cautious. He had a feeling she knew more than she'd been letting on recently, too - but unlike with Pearl, he knew Berry wasn't going to leave him without answers. Although he'd been starting to doubt that Pearl's inability to discuss the topic of Pink Diamond and Rose was… a /choice/.
      [.] the Ruby had that familiar blank look on her face, the look Steven knew meant the gears in her head had started churning faster than ever. Finally, with a frustrated look, she glanced away and sighed.
      "You shouldn't ask her any more questions. [.] I suppose you've never heard of a Diamond seal, have you?"
      He hadn't, but it had the word Diamond in it, so he was pretty sure it was bad. "No."
      "A Diamond seal, [.] Is an order that prevents a gem from revealing certain information or something meant to be kept secret. Only a Diamond has the power to give one, and only a Diamond has the power to remove one. [.] Breaking a Diamond seal is nearly impossible. In some situations, depending on how the order was given or how specific it was, it's been proven that there could be loopholes, but trying to break one directly… could break her. It could damage her gem or even her physical form. Permanently. [.] She's under a Diamond seal. Which means even if she wanted to tell you whatever it is, she can't. At the very least, she shouldn't attempt to. I don't know how far it can go before it causes her harm, and…"
      "I don't want to find out," Steven breathed, horrified, as he pressed the back of his hand over his mouth. Oh, stars… every part of him ached for Pearl right then. She was always so proud of herself for not 'belonging' to anyone, for not having to carry out a Diamond or anyone's orders. But it turned out she was still carrying one, one she couldn't break without hurting her. He cringed at the thought, ducking his head for a moment, and Berry glanced back at him briefly. "What do we do?"
      "Just make sure she doesn't try to break the seal. [.] I don't know what's going on, hybrid. I don't know the specifics of the order, I don't even know where to begin looking for answers, because she's the only one that has them and she can't give them. But I do know that something isn't right about this whole Rose-shattered-Pink thing."

      "It's not like I have to know, you know? Especially not now that I know Pearl could hurt herself trying to tell me anything. I don't want that. It's just… kinda frustrating?"
      .
      "... until we figure out the specifics of the order, we should probably keep Pearl out of all of this. The last thing we need is for her to end up trying to tell us something and breaking herself in the process,"
      .
      "Listen, don't mention any of this to Pearl. And if you do, because I can't exactly stop you, at least make sure she keeps her mouth shut. Maybe she can nod and confirm or something, but don't let her try to talk. She'll hurt herself."
      .
      19.17
      Amber's gaze trailed toward Pearl for a second, a faint glimmer of recognition crossing her face, and Steven raised his eyebrows slightly, glancing over at Pearl.
      ("Not all Pearls know each other, Steven.")
      It hadn't been a direct lie, but definitely still a lie.
      The hybrid grimaced, rolling his shoulders back. He understood; of course they knew each other. Pearl had been Pink Diamond's. She'd probably lied about it to keep that a secret.
