Summary
“Those who...have paid with blood and tears for their spiritual awakening…know, whether love last but one brief span of time or for eternity, it is the only creative, inspiring, elevating basis for a new race, a new world.” –Emma Goldman

Summary
Eight years after current SU canon--Yellow Diamond's invasion has been and gone, and the Crystal Gems have managed to secure earth's permanent sovereign status. Steven is 17 years old, has one saving of the world under his belt, and is ready to settle into a routine of defending Beach City from monsters. But when the Crystal Gems make contact with some old allies, it's obvious that Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl have unfinished business on homeworld, so a family road trip is in order to get it all sorted out.
Garnet is seeking acceptance for love fusions like her and justice for her fellow soldiers whose remains were desecrated for the cluster experiments. Pearl intends to avenge the thousands of years of mistreatment she went through before she met Rose, and maybe find a modicum of closure too. Amethyst discovers the "family history" of Kindergarten gems like her and tries to puzzle out what it says about who she really is. Connie learns about other species colonized by gems and resolves to seek justice for them as Rose and Steven did for earth. Steven searches for a side of his mother he's only seen glimpses of.
Greg provides the soundtrack, which is more important than it sounds.Series

Summary
A fic about Pearl & Amethyst and the past in general and the gem war in particular. Or, they never asked for it to be this way.
Goes through some pre-canon headcanons, some during-canon headcanons, and some canon stuff like “On the Run”, “Jailbreak”, and “Keystone Motel.”
This is in a first-person-y kind of second person, like Amethyst and Pearl are the proper narrators but they’re projecting it all onto an abstract “you” to avoid confrontations with themselves and each other.
TW/CW for…uh…’wow these two canonically really hate themselves a lot’, and the self-harm-y symbolism of Pearl fighting her hologram-clones being ramped up somewhat from canon although not drastically–it’s just a lot more blatant when it’s done in words and not images. T rating is pretty much solely because of that, just to be safe.

Summary
Pearl and Rose's first meeting (originally was going to be a flashback scene for my Gem Caste Uprising series, but turned into its own tiny thing).
Several minutes of pearl screaming internally (and pearlrose romantic tension and speculative lore about pearl’s “upbringing” to the extent that gems have that). tw for heavily implied abuse and just like…dehumanizing levels of casteism, but nothing too serious I think. Mostly just pearl being a dork with a side of rose being a renegade.PS my headcanons about pearls and how they're trained are incredibly elaborate so if you have any questions ASK ME (in the comments), I will hugely enjoy answering!
