    Summary

    Lars scanned the spaceport for possible targets, and his eye caught on a dark green ship nestled between two larger Planet Destroyers, colored orange-purple for the Quartz soldiers they carried. It was half in the shadow of the two ships; Lars crept around to another pillar to get a closer look and froze, cursing to himself. He'd thought that the shuttle was abandoned, but there was a tall green gem arguing with a smaller white one at its other side. The smaller gem-- a Pearl?-- had her rattly voice raised.

    Her face was set in a rictus grin, and her arms were wrenched up at her sides, palms facing the sky. Lars shuddered. Ugh, creepy. He inched closer to hear what she was saying.

     

     

    (Or: Lars and the Off-Colors accidentally add White Diamond's Pearl to their crew, before escaping Homeworld.)

Lapis is the perfect daughter in the parents' eyes, but she's always had a sick fantasy for having her siblings all to herself. Inspired by Incestly and Nupassion, may the stars have mercy on the two who are trapped for the summer with their ever unstable sitter.

    Summary

    “You say you’d deserve whatever punishment you’re given?” Blue pressed her thumb under his chin and forced his head up, and the hybrid gasped again, pupils shrinking slightly. “Then I hope you agree that you’ll deserve this one. Welcome back, Rose Quartz Facet-1 Cut-8BR.”

    Summary

    “…That gem.” Blue whispered, eyes wide.

    In another world Steven had shown it in defiance as he confessed and everyone would have just passed a glance at it before wanting to know how he’d killed a Diamond. In another world Blue was distracted by her grief, her desperation for answers clouding her vision.

    In this world Blue Diamond, who had sat in a room filled with bubbled Rose Quartz gems for thousands of years and stared at them until Yellow Diamond arrived to drag her away, noticed something she should have seen before. The gem was too light to be a Rose Quartz. The gem was too clear. It shined too brightly, the light catching it perfectly.

    But she remembered a gem similar, a gem that haunted her memories. She saw it when she cried. She knew that gem.

    “I know this gem.”

    Summary

    “I see,” Pearl says, sliding the clipboard back across the desk. “When did they arrive?”

    “Wednesday. They seemed so sweet when they came by, all holding hands like we might try to split ‘em up. They were real happy when I told them they could share. It’ll be nice to have other pearls around, huh?” Pearl hums noncommittally, and Spodumene reaches across the desk to pat her arm. “Aw, don’t be like that. You’re still our Renegade.”

    Pearl plasters on a smile. “Thanks."

    Or: Pearl comes to terms with her own identity, and also falls in love.

      Bookmark Notes:

      “A nest?”
      “Yep! They gave me some specs, but I wanted your input. It is a pearl thing, right? I’ve never built one.”
      Pearl reaches out to brush her fingers across the sketch. It’s oblong, curved to a gentle point at one end and a rippling flared edge at the other, and based on the measurements it’s more than large enough for three pearls to curl up in the center where Bismuth has scribbled pillows? blankets? in her blocky hand.
      It’s an oyster. Not quite like the sterile ones pearls are made in at the Reef, that Pearl herself was made in, but it’s close enough to make her go cold and warm at once.
      “Hey,” Bismuth murmurs, laying a hand lightly on the small of her back. “You okay?”
      “Fine,” she replies, not taking her eyes from the drawing. She traces the ruffly edge with a finger. “Maybe a water mattress. For the middle. Steven begged us for one when he was small, but I was worried it would burst and flood the house.”
      “Yeah?”
      “I doubt they’ll know what it is. But suggest it. Could you make something the right shape? Lapis could fill it from the ocean.”
      “Easy peasy.” Pearl finally blinks and pulls her gaze away; when she looks up, Bismuth is watching her closely. “I could make you one for your room, if you want.”
      Pearl can feel herself flush. “No, no. I never—I mean, I don’t really—no.” Bismuth continues to watch her, raising an eyebrow. “Really. It’s...it is a ‘pearl thing,’ as you put it, but not really my thing. I wasn’t close to the others, on Homeworld, and after I left…” She tries to encompass /I was the only one/ and /I didn’t want to be a pearl/ and /Rose/ all in one vague shrug, because Bismuth was there and doesn’t need to hear Pearl ramble about it.
      “So it’s a thing pearls do together. Nesting.”
      “When they’re able. Yellow and Blue had a nest in the palace somewhere. I’m sure other pearls in service close to each other had nests too. Pearls—most pearls—crave physical contact. It’s meant to keep them attached to their owners.”
      Bismuth makes a noise, half thoughtful, half distressed, and her thumb strokes soothingly up and down Pearl’s spine. Pearl is suddenly, humiliatingly aware of her arm still curled around Bismuth’s bicep, of the way she’s leaning into Bismuth’s palm on her back and the warm, solid heat of her side.
      .
      It’s beautiful, and it pulls at Pearl so hard that she feels a tiny flash of panic. Her hand tightens around Bismuth’s arm, and then she forces it loose again.
      “You’ve done a lovely job,” is what she says, and she means it. She feels Bismuth puff up a little beside her.
      “Yeah? I hope they like it. Hop on in, if you want, tell me how it feels.”
      “All right.” Carefully Pearl sits on the scalloped edge of the shell, testing her weight against it, and Bismuth chuckles.
      “It’ll hold you, doll. You could dance on that edge, it won’t tip.”
      With a little mischief creeping onto her face, Pearl sets her feet on the edge and stands, making a show of testing her footing. A moment, a breath—then a light sissonne to quick chaînés to a pirouette, finishing with an arabesque and a wink. Bismuth belly laughs; the nest doesn’t so much as wobble. There’s nothing left to do but bow, and then step down onto the temptingly soft bedding. As Pearl folds herself down among the pillows, she pulls in a breath—there’s a faint smell of the sea, even without the water mattress—and lets it out on a slow sigh. The expanse of it around her feels huge as she curls up in the center, large enough for at least four or five pearls, but the edges of the shell curve so gently inward and the pillows hem her in, and the canopy above shadows her like an umbrella. It feels...safe.
      .
      She is...somewhere. She is floating. She is, has consciousness, suddenly and without fanfare. With consciousness, with self, comes an understanding of others somewhere around her, somewhere outside of her. The vibration of voices, of movement, of briny water against her outermost layer. Then, with the distinction of self from other, comes form. Sensation, sound. Voices.
      “I can’t believe it worked,” a voice breathes above her, like a sigh. “So organic.”
      [.] “Each one can be specially tailored. I programmed its form myself.”
      “Did you?” the third voice says, surprised. “It’s so colorful.”
      The first voice gets closer, crooning, and the water all around vibrates with it. “I am all the colors of the light, but no creature can shine quite as perfectly bright. Not even this one, my own special creation.”
      [.] “What will you call it?” the third voice asks. The first voice hums, and then the water moves again, more, much more. Something is here with her, something large, something powerful; for the first time she understands size; for the first time, she understands fear. The Something touches her, strokes slowly along the length of her arm.
      “A pearl.”

    Summary

    TIME SKIP AU: Eight years after Steven Universe decided to leave Beach City, he still hadn't found a place to settle down at. In fact- so many things happened within those eight years that the Gem found himself just drifting along with life at this point. Yet, after a series of events that led him to a small-time town in Iursant... Did he find a quaint little tea shop hidden away from the world. Located within mountain ranges, far away from any Gem activities and even to the point where there weren't any Gems in this town either- perhaps finally Steven found himself a place to settle down. Maybe with the help of a tea shop keeper, could he finally heal almost a decade's worth of PTSD and experience what it meant to be in an equally giving relationship with someone who actually could understand what the Gem had gone through.

    WARNING: This is a heavy songfic! If this isn't your 'cup of tea' (pun appreciation), sorry! But if you give it a chance, maybe you'd find something fun!

    Summary

    Peridot used to be popular in the past. She had power, but she didn’t get that power by being nice. Eventually she lost it all and found herself alone. Thankfully there were a few people willing to give her a second chance. But years later, when someone from her past comes back, they aren’t willing to give her that second chance. Not liking the fact that she was being judged for her actions in the past, Peridot tries everything in her power to make it up to them.

    Summary

    Beach City 22 years later, where humankind and gemkind live in prosperity, is the home of the Universe family. Steven has long since figured things out, finally together with Connie, having kids, and sometimes the occasional adventure. Things are quite peaceful, all things considered.
    But little does Steven know, the troubles resulting from his diamond linage aren't over yet. Instead of solving a problem caused by his mother's past doings, it would seem he may have to solve a problem caused by the past doings of the other three diamonds
