You grew up with the crystal gems and Steven, they were your family.

Reader is gender-neutral, I tend to accidentally make it a bit more male but I’m trying to make it gender-neutral.
Hey everyone, this is one of my first stories on Archive of our own, I've written other stories on other platforms so I have some experience. I made this cause I love Steven universe, and wanted to continue practicing my writing.
That being said, grammatical errors will always be kept to a minimum and I'll always be trying out new things with this story.
Originally I planned on starting at future and making it short, but I'm stubborn and decided to start at the beginning. I love long and well fleshed out stories, so I hope I can accomplish that with this one.Thanks for reading❤️

layers of nacre (a chain of pearls for your neck) by desi_kappa

Summary
⟡⟡⟡
"The quality of a pearl is judged mainly from four aspects: color, size, shape and smoothness. Color refers to the refraction, diffraction or interference of light waves caused by the subtle physical structure of the biological body surface. The shape and size of the pearl is related to the thickness of the nacreous layer and the deposition mode of calcium carbonate crystal, and the smoothness of the pearl is closely related to the structure of the pearl layer."
Everyone knows that pearls are made in accordance with their owner’s wishes. Pearl, though, belongs to No One.

When It’s All Said And Done I’ll Be (Just a Speck in Your Galaxy) by Sle3pyKing

Summary
Pearl wanted Steven to look up to her the same way he looked up to Garnet.
She wanted him to love her the same way he loved Amethyst.
And some selfish part of her wanted him to need her the way that she needed him.
But He didn’t want that.
And that was fine.
Who was she to tell Him what was right and wrong?
He was more important than her, and He always would be.
It still hurt, though, that He didn’t want to be anything like her.
OR a Pearl character study! Yay!

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.

Summary
"Pearl! Look!" Pink's eyes traced the little creature, taking up her whole mind in an instant, as if nothing else mattered.
It was- it didn't matter, not really. But it played a part in the web of the Earth, as everything did. As Pink now did. And - as she realised with a start - as did Pearl. However consequential she may find herself being, she was a string now, in this planet's tapestry.// OR //
The first book of three in a sprawling tale of the entire Gem War all the way up until Steven's birth, from Pearl's perspective.
Welcome to Earth spans from Pearl and Pink first visiting Earth to Pink's first time falling in love with a human, with the first battles of the gem war, the introduction of Garnet and Bismuth and more and many philosophical ramblings in between.Series

Summary
No Really. Beyond any and all Diamond before or will ever come after him. Pink's Healing Ability has destroyed his bodies ability to age, and his cells to die. His partner is gone. Steven will always end up alone. But Pearl, will find him. Pearl will stay by his side. She's never known love like the one she had for Rose Quartz. But she knows, deep in her gem, that She Loves Steven just the same, if not more.
Lets see how we can handle grief. Lets see how Pearl manipulates the situations around Steven to elevate herself and help Steven recover (if it's possible.)I've included AI Generated Art in the Chapters (some of them, as I work with the various ones out there, will have none if I am not happy they get the vibe)
Please feel free to request they get replaced with other specific pieces you may recommend or draw and I will do so immediately and credit the artist and suggester in the authors notes for each chapter.
Please feel free to suggest or request tags to be added to this work. -

She loved gazing into her eyes, holding onto her hand, and playing with her beautiful pink hair that frizzled all over the grass, consuming it with the vibrance. She loved being with her.
OR
Pearl goes on a motorcycle date with Storm (the mystery girl). Fluff and angst ensues.
