#garnet shattered au

[bobamilkk]

Silly lil swap au!!! Steven’s mom is white diamond and the og 3 homeworld gems are the crystal gems!! Greg’s still his dad and most of early season one would be pretty much the same but with a more dysfunctional found family cuz they’re silly like that. The og crystal gems are now villains to be redeemed but in like. Slightly different ways idk man- With the diamonds it’s Pink in White’s place and then blue plays a bit more of an aggressive role than yellow does

-Jasper is the first time he sees a gem poof. It’s similar to the pearl episode but it’s a robot Peridot made instead of a pearl hologram- She gets frustrated with Steven not taking his battle training seriously and gets punched straight in the face because of it. She doesn’t stay in her gem nearly as long as pearl does and Peridot actually helps him when this weird lil robot keeps trying to fight him- The only reason Jasper doesn’t come back in a few hours is cuz she’s embarrassed she got poofed me thinks

-Sapphire comes to earth to use her future vision to see the status of the cluster and properly check on it- She has her group of 3 rubys with her and they manage to poof Jasper in the same manner of Garnet getting poofed by Jasper in canon. Ship chaos happens and Jasper manages to poof 2 of 3 rubies while the last one escapes in the escape pod with Sapphire. Steven bubbles the rubies cuz he’s silly like that and wants to make sure they’re going to be ok

-cue a couple fights later and Jasper gets frustrated that she’s lost a few battles to a lone ruby and a sapphire of all gems and starts pushing the other gems away and preventing them from fighting with her- She goes to attack Sapphire while Ruby’s catching her breath since she’s seemingly defenseless but Ruby jumps in and they fuse and sit there having a panic attack. Jasper stands there in shock for a moment cuz she’s not entirely used to fusion either before going to attack again-Only for Steven to jump in the way and save them

-Ruby’s getting stressed over the cluster and pacing in the barn so Lapis recommends Steven goes to show them what it’s like on earth-Cue Sapphire and Ruby slowly realizing they love each other. Also the frog. Steven shows them what a frog is and Ruby excitedly shows it to Sapphire. Gay people-They don’t fuse as often but like. By future they’re permanently fused?? But for the majority of the main series they only fuse when needed

-Amethyst comes to earth to collect Sapphire!! She has her limb enhancers to make up for her height n stuff- Idk how the baseball episode parallels will work but. They’re there. Somehow!! Garnet also gets to fuse to hide Sapphire since Amethyst wouldn’t expect a fusion idk anymore

-garnet somehow manages to poof Amethyst in her panic and Steven unbubbles her because he’s curious about her limb enhancers and peridot won’t tell her because she’s scared of him knowing too much about homeworld. She traps herself in the bathroom peridot style until Steven manages to make her realize she’s safe here and the cluster is bubbled and she’s allowed to be herself and doesn’t have to be afraid of being shattered for being defective if she messes up even slightly. She gets her peridot arc or smthn

-Greg gets taken to the human zoo like in canon but Pearls there with Holly Blue Agate to watch over the humans and their growth. She was sent there after white was shattered as punishment for failing her diamond and it’s seriously messed her up- She does see them being free tho and helps them escape with Greg without thinking- Steven offers for her to tag along and she hesitates until Holly Agate comes along and she immediately jumps in the ship

-Pearl watches Steven sleep like in canon but it’s. Creepier. It’s habit from the human zoo but she starts to investigate his gem in the process and realizes it’s her diamond aka white. She goes to remove the gem to free her diamond back-Maybe get her status back by having white back-Desperation type beat- only to wake Steven who panics and pushes her away- She panics massively and starts sobbing and calling him her diamond

-Instead of the loud distraction yell of “She’s Gone” from pink Steven- Steven accidentally mind controls pink for a split second and it makes them both tumble back- I don’t know fully how this scene would work tbh I gotta brainstorm more but. Ik white diamond Steven has a different set of powers than canon Steven- He’s got whites mind control powers n shit

-Bismuth takes the role of Spinel in the movie!! Not in the same abandoned sense but in a “you ruined our perfect plan” and wants to kill him for it whether her diamond wants her to or not- she’s silly like that!! She resets the gems like Spinel does and Jasper signs her life to Greg like pearl does- She carries him around n is super protective of him. Ma’am’s ready to kill someone on sight for Greg-

-Post-Corrupted Steven gets silly lil corrupted traits still. 1) his gem is flipped so it’s like a horn now 2) he’s got silly lil underbite fangs 3) spikes on his shoulders so his jacket is tied around his waist so it doesn’t get ripped 4) he’s like. Extra extra tired all the time someone save him

You should send me asks about the au it’d be so sexy of you /j

[joyousgeekeryart]

Finally decided to upload this unfinished Steven Universe AU comic I sketched out in 2020 that went along with the animatic I made.

The premise was that the Diamonds found out about Steven’s existence earlier than canon and stole him away as a small child. The Diamonds retrieve Spinel for Steven to have a playmate, though she initially doesn’t believe Steven isn’t just Pink playing another cruel trick on her. It takes some sort of small but scary accident to prove to Spinel that this is a human (because gems don’t bleed), and she slowly warms up to him after that. (More notes if you’re interested under the cut.)

I had the plot laid out roughly as Steven seeking answers to his cryptic repetitive dreams, then hearing the Diamonds converse about Earth. The planet name sounds familiar so he winds up chasing Peridot to Earth and to the warp hub, warping from there and finding a half built beach house (which the Crystal Gems and Greg couldn’t bring themselves to finish after Steven’s kidnapping) and knowing it seems familiar but not knowing WHY. Steven meets and befriends Connie, there’s some almost-encounters with the Crystal Gems, but ultimately Peridot catches Steven and Spinel and says she won’t report a Diamond but they know they’d all be in trouble if they get caught so everyone keeps their mouth shut and go back to Homeworld.

Steven returns in secret to see Connie, but this time the Crystal Gems warp back in time to see him, attempting to stop his escape. Steven believes himself to be in danger and Spinel warps in at the wrong time, also assuming the same. Garnet says something that sparks a memory in Steven, but before he gets answers, Spinel springs into action to get him out of the perceived harm’s way and they return to Homeworld. Pearl and Amethyst make to follow through the warp, but Garnet stops them, saying if they follow, they would be shattered, and that Steven would return.

(That’s the tldr of it but here’s my chapter plans up to where I stopped working on it. I never officially typed it up but hopefully it’s legible.)

AU where the Diamonds replace the Crystal Gems.

Rose was not able to save Garnet and Pearl from the Diamonds’s combined power and is the last remaining Crystal Gem. White finally reveals the truth of Pink’s shattering to the other Diamonds and they all decide to confront her on Earth together. They arrive just in time for the birth of Steven but too late to confront Pink, to fix what was broken. In wanting to be better for Pink, they decide to “stay” on Earth and do what they never could for Pink. For Steven. Be there and be what humans like to call, family. A very complicated mess of a family.

Or

A retelling of Cusinie Fusion.

OHOHOHOHO YES YOU ARE ENABLING ME I NEED TO INFO DUMP!!!

first of all, yes they are small. not only was the gem that was supposed to form split in two, they were also in the ground for a veeerrrrrryyy long time. theyre overcooked like amethyst! which made them even smaller!

but you see, normally onyx’s are HUGE! roughly eleven feet tall :D if onyx’s were normal sized, ingo and emmet would have come out at barely two feet tall, but luckily theyre a bit taller at 4’6”

being compressed in the ground for so long also made them both extremely durable! onyx’s represent strength and protection, so not not only are the twins verrrrry difficult to poof, they can withstand extreme temperatures like garnet :D

Also, since we never see an onyx in steven universe, i like to think they were actually discontinued! with the dwindling natural materials it just wasn't beneficial to make these giant eleven foot gems that just stood guard at warp pads. so Emmet and Inggo emerged verrrry late like, extremely late. im thinking this au takes place around the time peridot becomes a little friend creature, so the timeline is:

gemwar: onyx discontinued, emmet and ingo forming

after gem war: 5,000 or so years later, emmet and ingo emerge. very small

before the series and while it's going: Emmet and ingo are discovered and made to be entertainment for important gem higher ups. i'm thinking this goes on for a few hundred years

bit after peri is part of the crystal gems: emmet and ingo escape to earth and meet the gems!

now, emmet and ingo don't have their signature big coats on homeworld, and instead wear something similar to pearls. bodysuit with a lil frilly thing :p cus just like pearls, they were basically just supposed to be decorations

Emmet and Ingo, early on in their life as toys, managed to steal a device they could use to get information. haha lmao gem internet

anyway, whenever they were able, they would research things using this device, and formed a particular interest in earth. they read about the crystal gems and life on earth and- get ready

TRAINS

upon discovering the existence of trains, on earth and other alien societies, they were obsessed. they would talk about them as often as they could, and accidentally incorporated train talk into their everyday vocabulary, which the gems around them thought was verry strange

eventually, the reason emmet and ingo decide to escape, is big sad :(. so basically, the twins were given to a gem who led a platoon of soldiers, and threw emmet and ingo into their room and told them they could do whatever they wanted with them. so, the soldiers decide to just fuck the boys up. reallly beat the shit outta them, and they actually manage to poof ingo, something that had never happened before. then they start shouting about trying to shatter ingo, and this obviously freaked the hell out of emmet. so Emmet grabs ingos gem, and because he’s just small as hell compared to all the other gems in the room, manages to slip through them and escape.

now he's on the run, and just trying to hide long enough for ingo to reform. when ingo eventually does, they decide their life on homeworld is definitely over so they either have the choice of being shattered, or stealing a ship and escaping. they of course decide that stealing a ship would be better :] they know the layout of the area pretty well, so they are able to get to where ships are stored pretty easily, the only problem is actually flying them, buuuuut because of the device they stole, they had basic knowledge of how to operate it. they were being attacked the whole time, but did manage to successfully fly off of homeworld!!!!

It takes a while, but they manage to make it to earth. they’re researching humans a bunch and decide to choose human names for themselves! because humans are just so cool! so thats where their names come from :D

around this time is a bit after peridots famous “calling yellow diamond a clod” moment, so when the gems see a homeworld ship entering the atmosphere, they immediately assume the worst. they attack it, and the ship crashes somewhere in the forest. In the crash, Emmets gem is cracked. no good. very bad :(

when the gems find the crash, and they see emmet and ingo inside, they immediately realize “these arent dangerous gems, these are just little guys. we just attacked a couple of little guys and now theyre crying. oh no :(“ cus they r just little guys!!! emmets gem is cracked and hes scared and ingo is holding him and crying his freaking eyes out cus his twin is hurt :((( and steven tries to get closer to heal emmet and ingo hisses at him like a damn little creature,, and steven has to explain that they didnt mean to hurt them and they just want help, and ingo is still suspicious, but he lets steven slap his spit on emmet

also i just realized i am just writing a fanfic here so i'm gonna stop before i write any more lmao (and ive just decided to write a whole actual fanfic about this so prepare urselves)

last thing im gonna talk about is their weapons cus i like what i came up with :]

I couldn't find a name for the weapon name, but it’s basically a giant deerhorn knife,,, like a batleth? yeah its like a reverse batleth :D so ingo and emmet each have a batleth, and when they fuse, their weapon becomes Giant frisbee saw of death

and thats what ive come up with so far! :D feel free to ask questions or suggest things for this au!!!!! pls!!! i read all ur tags!!!!

I need more of the Steven Universe AU purely to see what everyone's fusions would be like. The triplet's fusion would be so freaking awesome, any of the sibling trio fusions would be a terrifying powerhouse, I want the sibling fusions, I need to know what the fusion of Luisa and Mirabel would be like, the fusion of Mirabel and Antonio would be so adorable, and I want to find out which Isabela fusion would be the most chaotic/destructive/unhinged, heck, give us the fusions of Alma with each of her kids and grandkids, it would be a great opportunity for visual representation of how her pressure and expectations negatively impact each of them. I bet it would take people a solid minute to realize Julieta and Mirabel had fused, Mirabel is so much her mama's clone you don't notice the difference unless you're paying close attention or know them really well. Please, PLEASE give us more, I even have ideas for the rest of the Madrigals gem types. Pedro would be another Diamond, if Alma's a Diamond then it would make the most sense if Pedro was one too, he's likely been shattered. Pyrope definitely fits Dolores and Camilo is absolutely an Orange Spinel, Antonio should be Tiger's Eye. I think Lapis Lazuli is best suited for Isabela, beautiful and upper class yet extremely powerful, and Mirabel could be a defective Bismuth that doesn't have the muscle of a normal Bismuth and can't build to save her life, expressing the natural creativity of her gem type through unconventional means and making up for her lack of brawn with brain

I’m so glad you’re enjoying this AU!

Firstly, I should say that not everyone fuses. I have to vaguely follow SU’s plot, but…

The triplets (or, well, mainly Pepa and Bruno) did secretly fuse when they were first made. They frequently caused chaos and got intro trouble, partially why it then became so taboo. It was already viewed as bad, but knowing what damage could be caused to the perfect empire… it became a lot more of a serious offence.

Some of the siblings/cousins haven’t fused together, so I’d need to know who you wanted to know about specifically.

And none of the parents have fused with the children.

Luisa and Mirabel are oddly enough quite like Sardonyx as a fusion. Luisa shares a lot of traits with both Garnet and Pearl, and then combined with Mirabel, I’d be lying if they weren’t oddly close to Sardonyx. In saying that, they could also be Garnet herself - a lot of Luisa and Mirabel’s interactions are akin to Ruby and Sapphire respectively. However, they are also very anxious together, so take that as you will for their fusion.

About the Madrigals’ gems, here is the updated list:

Antonio - Tiger’s Eye (I absolutely love this idea! It fits so well)

Isabela - no idea

Dolores - Rutile

Luisa - Amethyst

Camilo - Yellow Spinel

Mirabel - Sapphire

Julieta - Blue Diamond

Pepa - Orange Diamond

Bruno - Green Diamond

Alma - Pink Diamond

Pedro - Botswana Agate

I’ll happily give information for whatever people ask for!

They're here!✨️

Fusion deets under the cut! [Big Ramble]

So!! Aventurine is one of the most stable fusions in this au, as Mammon and El's personalities mesh very well bc they're both silly goofy lil guys. They are also the 2 that are most often fused for long periods of time because they get along so well, nearly garnet level of permafusion, but they do have to separate more often.

The inspo for them was japanese delinquents depicted in media [ex. Mondo from Dr1, Josuke from jjba], both Mammon and El are troublemakers, and their fusion is no acception to that trait. Also! I designed them to fit each other so they would fit this fusion bc Aventurine came to me before either of them were polished designs, and I really liked the concept!

Because of Elliot's attempted shattering, his gem [and psyche] is permanently cracked and can't be healed by any diamond's healing ability. This will carry onto every fusion he's part of. That's why the right side of Aventurine's sunglasses are cracked, so they can display that trait when the color of their glasses cover their one blind eye.

Aventurine's personality takes after Mammon the most, with Elliot's calm demeanor taking a backseat [unless they're destroying smthn, that usually all Elliot]. That being said, this is one of the more intelligent / tech-savvy fusions as well, combining Mammon's nearly instantaneous calculations and problem solving skills, and Elliot's extreme dedication to learning a new concept or hobby every few weeks and you get a very surprisingly intelligent fusion[to some].

Cocky and a bit of a smart-ass, It isn't uncommon to hear them go "Bow before the Great Aventurine!" puffing their chest out and strutting about the au equivalent of the House of Lamentation [possibly a ship? Currently unknown]. Though they're known to be a harbinger of mischief, Aventurine is a very level-headed and well-balanced fusion, so y'all will probably be seeing more of them sooner than later.

#obey me #om gem au #obey me gem au #obey me mammon #obey me mc #digital art #gem ocs #aventurine #at some point i will be drawing the first time they fused. bc its in my brain i just want 2 finish the rest of the main cast first #im bad at writing so if the desc kinda sucks im sorz #yea but basically aventurine beamed themself into my brain at like 4am a few weeks ago #so thats why el and mams refs are on their fusion sheet bc i designed them after i had the idea 4 the fusion in mind #but yea #my funky lil au is still going. slowly but its going #elliot doodles #elliot rambles #mayb ill do separate lore bits for the characters when i get 2 it and make a masterlist or smth 🤔

[pogostikk]

God, just imagining how horrified the crystal gems must have been after seeing steven's state (in gem mutant au) tears me apart 🥺💔

Oh my gosh yes, imagine all the self blame they would be dealing with. I also wonder if Steven were on homeworld long enough, would he have trouble recognizing them since he’s basically shattered? Lots of fun angst to explore.

I’m especially interested in how Garnet would feel, and what her relationship with Steven would be like out of all the CGs

#steven universe #su au #gem mutant au #asks

[kittykitcat77]

I'm into Steven Universe now

So now you get to see my team swap au. Cool? okay.

Bismuth & Pearl

Bismuth becomes Rose Quartz's closest ally after the "loss" of her Pearl, crafting weapons for the Gem Army. After Rose meets Greg, Bismuth begins to spiral, feeling like she doesn't have a proper purpose. When Steven is born, she finds new purpose in raising and protecting him, starting grow and do more as her own self as Steven does. Bismuth is often the more involved mom figure for Steven, though she knows not to overdo it..sometimes.

Pearl is close to Rose in the beginning, helping the disguised Pink Diamond with the fake shattering. However, guilt and paranoia start to reach the gem.With huge regret, Rose pops Pearl and stores her away to make sure the secret doesn't get out, knowing Bismuth wouldn't tell. Upon meeting Steven, she is bewildered with the fact the gem she loved was now gone and replaced by a human hybrid. After nearly pulling Steven's gem from him, he pops and bubbles her again. As Garnet plans her wedding, Steven brings her back and fills her in on a lot that happened after her first bubbling, including the corruption of Earth gems. Through all her trouble, Pearl eventually grows to like Steven.

Lapis & Garnet (Ruby & Sapphire)

Ruby and Sapphire became the first non-similar gems to fuse after Ruby saved Sapphire from the attacks of Rose. They ran away from Earth and became Garnet. However, they didn't get to enjoy their new life long, as the Diamonds corrupted the gems on the planet, Garnet becoming a victim. The fusion roamed the planet for years, still remaining stable. Steven finds them one day, not realizing they were the first unique fusion, or a fusion for that matter. He manages to heal Ruby's gem, pulling them out of corruption and into their separate beings. They immediately stuck with Steven right after, grateful that he saved them. Garnet gets happily married later on, but is still ever paranoid, especially around the diamonds and when talking about the Cluster.

Lapis Lazuli was a member of Blue Diamond's court, sent to help terraform Earth for more kindergartens. There she met Rose, and became sympathetic to the cause, though not too keen about the planet itself. When Steven was born, Lapis became more silent, not having Rose to be vocal to. However, she warms up to Steven and the others again, also finding a love for Earth and the life it had.

Peridot & Amethyst

Peridot was a member of Yellow Diamond's court, often made to do more dangerous missions because of her small size for a Peridot. After a mission fail and a crash to Earth, she met Rose, taking a liking to her. She got close with Bismuth and Lapis, finding the technology of Earth for more interesting than of Homeworld. Once Greg came into the picture, she adored the guy, befriending him and learning more about the mechanics of Earth tech. Once Steven was born, she took a more casual approach to her existence, acting as a big sister toward the boy. She still distrusted strangers, but learned to be more open.

Amethyst came out late from the Alpha Kindergarten, immediately being taken up to Blue Diamond's human zoo to guard the other "Zoomans". She snuck into part of Jasper's coalition to stop Steven and the Crystal Gems. However, she began to feel bad for the outcasts, also growing tired of Jasper. She eventually betrayed the bigger gem, defecting to the rebellion side. Amethyst, at first, was scared of her home planet, but eventually warmed up to it. She became part of the Crystal Gems, having a overwhelming fondness for Steven.

Fusions Coming Soon!

[proudfreakmetarusonniku]

thinking about the dsmp steven universe au again bc like. c!dream as a diamond makes rose quartz seem like a fucking saint. like he gave zero shits about the morality of the other diamonds and participated in awful shit gleefully. he intentionally “broke” his first pearl bc he bored him and only spared the second (c!tommy) bc he found the fact he was defective fascinating and he basically treated him like an experiment on homeworld (tho tbf tommy would have been shattered if he didn’t do that, he was also genuinely protecting him by keeping him around to study). he ran off to earth and started the rebellion because he was bored and he found earth and humans interesting, but he didn’t have any moral oppositions to homeworld or anything. he protected gems deemed defective solely because he had an academic interest in them, and even though some of them (namely, the surviving crystal gems in this au that aren’t c!tommy) thought he was their friend he just saw them as test subjects. his only Actual friend was tommy and he was awful to him, and while he treated him vaguely better than on homeworld he did physically and mentally abuse him and never stopped giving him orders. having a half human child (namely, c!ranboo) was an impulsive suicidal act, and he left him without even knowing who his other parent was or any provisions to take care of him. he did genuinely help by starting a revolution against an incredibly corrupt regime but it was all for selfish reasons.

(for those wondering who some of the other characters are, they’re not super defined, but a philza/kristin fusion is sorta in the role of garnet tho i'm not sure who to pick for amethyst (personality doesn’t matter esp bc Tommy is the big sibling sorta role here, it’s the backstory and stuff that matters most). Tubbo is connie obviously. xd is white diamond and his Pearl/Dream’s original Pearl is George, spinel is sapnap (he got abandoned immediately after tommy existed). peridot is Jack Manifold and lapis is niki. everyone else is up in the air tho).

Dude, your art is amazing! I absolutely love it ♥️

I know you haven't done any SU for a while, but the doubt about shattered au eats at me.

If not rude of me to ask... do you think you could give us a little more information about that au? 🥺

AAA Thank you!! And it's not a rude ask at all, it's completely welcome! :D

I don't remember too much about the Shattered AU because I never wrote anything down and most of the things I did with him were branched off aus BUT!! I will try to provide as much as I can! Warning, I did intend for this comic to be dark, so there are a lot of themes of death and bad mental health.

AND WARNING it goes into some internalized ableism territory because I was a stupid 14-15 year old who didn't realize that it's really bad to write a heavily traumatized character with a bad depiction of psychosis as an angry and violent person D: yikes....I'm way better with that now and learned more about mental illnesses and disorders and the stigma they have in media as I got older.

Continue with caution!!

I am about to dump some info

The comic was meant to begin right after the events of the movie and then skip ahead and follow the altered events of Future.

During the movie's events, Spinel had gone a little too far with her hurtful banter during their fight on top of the injector and Steven got a little more injured than in canon. I can't remember exactly what made Steven snap, but at the end of their fight, Steven finally threw a punch that hit Spinel right in the gem, causing it to shatter on impact. Steven then started to calm down and promptly passed out from exhaustion, nearly plummeting to his death off the the injector, but Garnet caught him about halfway down.

Chapter 1 takes place the morning after, Steven having no memory of his fight with Spinel. Everyone is avoiding the topic of Spinel whenever Steven tries to figure out how everything ended. Obviously things seem better than they did yesterday, so what happened? He's encouraged to go outside and help people (avoid the house), so Steven meets up with Bismuth, Lapis, and Peridot to go help with planning out Little Homeschool. They also avoid the topic of Spinel, so Steven storms off, feeling betrayed with all of his friends hiding something from him. He visits the injector and starts healing the ground to try and repair the damage Spinel caused. This only makes him MORE curious. That night he's laying awake thinking about what could've happened, then he gets hungry. There isn't much in the kitchen, but then he remembers he bubbled a slice of Lars' ube roll and sent it home. Steven goes to the bubble room to grab his ube and he spots Spinel's bubbled gem shards. He panics and drops his ube. A little purple spot grows on his hand, which hurts a lot. Steven goes to bed hungry and terrified. Chapter 2 Steven wakes up the next morning and finds the gems arguing. Garnet unfused and Ruby and Sapphire were arguing about how they felt about Spinel. Sapphire argues that it isn't right to ignore what happened while Ruby argues that they had no problem when they believed Rose had shattered Pink Diamond. Pearl sides with Ruby, arguing that it was for the greater good, and Amethyst sides with Ruby, arguing that it isn't right to leave her shattered. Steven starts interrogating the gems, trying to find out who shattered Spinel. He isn't getting a straight answer, but one of them mentions the arrival of the diamonds while trying to explain that day. He leaves the gems to investigate the pain on his hand, and he doesn't quite understand what that growing purple spot is. Ignoring that problem, he warps off to go see the Diamonds. They tell him that when they got to Earth, they were terrified to see him passed out and bloody, along with a destroyed piece of Earth. They all tried to help heal him, but were bickering and fighting over who could best heal him, and they all ended up using their powers on him at once while all fighting each other and worried for Steven. This had a negative reaction, mixing with his horrible emotional state, and caused him to start slowly corrupting. Steven freaked out once he realized the painful purple spot on his hand was actually corruption. The Diamonds try to help him, but he lashes out and runs away. When he tries to warp home it doesn't work at first, but his second try does work. As soon as he gets home he immediately rushes to the bathroom and tries to use the diamond essences to heal himself, but it doesn't work. He's still freaking out and he gets in a fight with Ruby, both parties are refusing to tell each other what's going on. Steven breaks a plate and the sound and feel triggers a panic attack. Ruby helps him calm down, but he starts to space out while thinking about everything and can no longer hear her. He has a flashback to his fight with Spinel and I imagined something like this would happen when he snaps out of it.

Chapter 3 Steven goes to bed and struggles to fall asleep, thinking a lot about the past few days. He doesn't even notice his transition from his thoughts to his dream when he finds himself on the injector fighting Spinel again. Her voice distorts and she asks him why he did it. He doesn't know, but she says:

Steven gets engulfed with butterflies and wakes up panicked. He runs downstairs to the bubble room and grabs the shards, taking them to the bath to try to fix her. He realizes he used all the diamond essence he had to try to heal himself, and couldn't do anything to fix Spinel. He breaks down and begins to corrupt more very rapidly, which again is super painful. When he hears a gem asking if he's okay while he's crying in the bathroom, he decides to wait for them to leave before running to his room and finding things to hide his corruption. He notices his jacket is ripped up after his fight with Spinel, so he wears his puffer and goes to buy another one on the boardwalk. Everyone notices Steven wearing a scarf, puffer, and gloves in the middle of summer. He's confronted by Ronaldo, which goes really awkwardly until Ronaldo notices his wrist is purple, so Steven runs away to avoid questions. Steven buys a jacket closes to his previous one and runs home. Pearl is in the house and asks him why he's dressed like it's winter and he just tells her it felt cold outside, which is such an obvious lie, and he needed a new jacket. She can't confront him on it though because he goes to his room and locks the door. Steven checks over his corruption, which was all the way up his arm and covering most of his shoulder. A butterfly amalgamation of himself appears sitting on the bed and starts confronting Steven on why he's lying and hiding things just like his mom. Steven calls it 'buddy' and continues to call it that going forward. Buddy acts as Steven's confrontational internal monologue.

Chapter 4 There is NOT a lot of information written down about this chapter and I don't have a clue as to what "Steven has an interesting expeirience with the corrupted gem" like I don't remember what that is at all. All I remember is they have to fight a corrupted gem and Steven has a bad time. There is also a moment when he's being chased by the corrupted gem and needs to warp to flee. It takes a lot of energy and concentration for him to warp and he barely gets out in the knick of time.

Chapter 5 is when SUF starts, I didn't have much written down for this because the plan was just SUF episodes but they go wrong because Steven's problems keep piling up. He doesn't make peace with the Roses, Steven lashes out at Pearl when they're at the shell and it worries her, Bluebird nearly kills him and he nearly kills Bluebird, Snow Day is just a family intervention, Steven and Lapis actually bond over her lesson about restraint being strength. During Bismuth Casual, Steven acts very passive aggressive toward Connie's friends because he's jealous and the two end up fighting. Steven reveals during the fight that he's corrupting. Connie gets angry about him hiding things from her and they have an awkward car ride home. Together Forever doesn't happen. Growing Pains is about the same except the reason isn't the marriage thing and also it's revealed Greg lost his arm during the events of the movie (Steven knew but we didn't). Mr. Universe Steven actually ends up hurting Greg, can't remember how though D:

Chapter 6 also doesn't have a lot of information (you can see where I got stuck and why it ended up cancelled) but in this chapter Steven ends up fighting really bad with Connie and he accidentally breaks her nose when trying to hit her hand away. Connie tells him to go to therapy and storms out, telling him to not call her again.

This is about the point where I stopped getting ideas for how to move further, I didn't even have an ending planned. All I knew was that I wanted Steven to go Kaiju mode near the end. I'm kinda glad this project went nowhere because it definitely would've added to the already bad stigma around mental illnesses and disorders in the SU community at the time. If you need me to tag this post with anything send me an ask! And I'm giving you a reminder to make sure to be aware of ableism, both within your own works and others!

Uuuuh I finished writing episode 1 of my AU, TW for G0r3(?) and bl00d

SU: Growing Thorns AU

EP. 1, CH. 1: PROBLEMS.

STEVEN NARRATES:

I found myself in a deep trouble, a new Gem just came out of nowhere and attacked me, my friends and planet, why would she do that? I asked myself but found no response, the ambient was dark, only us could save the planet, or that’s what I thought.

I stepped in front of the Gems just before the stranger attacked them, the last thing I heard was them screaming my name, and I also heard Connie. Before I blacked out, I felt a burning pain on my shoulder as I also felt someone’s arms wrap around me, and tears falling down on my face.

CONNIE NARRATES:

I was fighting alongside Steven and the Gems, my heart was racing and I was nervous, any hit of the strange weapon the Gem had and it was over for me, as I’m only a human. That Gem was strong, I contemplated that as she easily threw Garnet to the floor, evading her future vision. I was covering and defending myself with my sword as the Gem tried to punch me sometimes, I was distracted but as soon as I heard the 3 Gems screaming Steven’s name, I turned to see what was going on and I found Steven approaching the Gem and getting his left arm cut off, my eyes widened and I yelled his name with desperation and fear.

I grabbed my sword with a tight grip and threw myself towards the Gem, I let out a yell and like it was no big deal, stabbed the pinkish Gem, poofing her in the act, when her gem dropped to the ground, I stared at it with hatred and grabbed it. I approached the Gems and handed them her Gem.

— “Bubble her before I shatter her.” I said with pure hate in my voice, the Gems just nodded silently.

I ran towards Steven’s unconscious body, I held him in my arms as I sobbed, his blood staining my hands and part of my arms and body, I begged in cries for him to be okay.

— “STEVEN!! STAY AWAKE! PLEASE!” I begged in cries.

— “PLEASE! CALL SOMEONE, A DOCTOR, O-OR I-I DONT KNOW. ANYONE THAT CAN HELP HIM!!” I pleaded as I held onto Steven, my tears falling to his face.

After a few minutes, I heard a familiar voice, it was my mom’s voice, I think, someone told me to stand back, so I did, I saw a pot filled of Rose’s Water and they tried putting his arm on his body again with it, no luck.

A few hours passed and I didn’t go to the Space Camp, I just went out of the shower since I was stained with Steven’s blood, I looked at my reflection on the mirror, I was covering half of my body with a towel. After I dressed up and brushed my hair, I sat next to Steven’s bed, since he was laying in there, I held his right hand while looking at him with a tired and sad expression, my eyes started filling with tears.

— “Steven.. I need you.. why won’t you wake up? Why did you.. protect them like that? You’re worrying me..” I said before kissing him in the forehead and standing up, I looked at him one last time and went downstairs, I saw how the Gems had made the couch a bed for me to stay for the nights, I smiled before thanking them. And so I stayed in the Temple for almost a month..

Introducing the main cast au!! The au where i'm still not sure whether or not lapis is a current crystal gem, trapped in the mirror, or a past cg who would've gotten corrupted, and character designs keep changing inconsistently!! Basically, the roles of garnet/ruby/sapphire, amethyst, and pearl(+ homeworld pearls) are taken by our gemsonas! Sapphire ocs & their fusion as ruby sapphire & garnet, tiger's eye & angelite as amethyst(roughly), avi & moon as pearl(+ other moonstones as homeworld pearls), and erza as steven's older sister!! Rose is still there, as are peridot, lapis, the diamonds, etc, it's just the main cgs that have changed and purple diamond has been added to the authority, hence "main cast au"! More abt it under the cut

Erza is half galra hybrid, half Purple Diamond. Her dad abandoned her on Earth and the cgs took her in. She has shadow manipulation powers, access to her mother's shadow dimension with various creatures & easts that obey her, and maybe a purple pearl or moonstone looking after her. She's extremely powerful but holds back for the sake of her family. Angelite & Tiger's Eye are gay & dating & have been doing so for thousands of years. They joined the crystal gems after running away from homeworld post-corruption blast & being found in the strawberry field (where they officially became romantic partners) by the other remaining cgs. Angelite's weapon is a uhhhh, and Tiger's Eye's weapon is a brass knuckle/blade combo, and she has a stealthy fighting style! Moon was Blue Diamond's original moonstone, and when she broke(post Pink Moonstone breaking), Blue Diamond gifted her alongside an aventurine(Avi) she was going to shatter as her personal advisors, since Pink "wants broken things" in her words. Also Avi has paw pads on her hands & feet & paw foots. Avi and Moon are best friends and throughout the series, Avi has to work through her codependence on Moon. The main cast crystal gems never knew what became of Spinel--Rose told them she "never knew what became of her"(true), and by the time they could have rescued her, the corruption blast had hit or Pink's "shattering" had taken place and it would blow their cover and endanger them all + earth to go looking for Spinel. They went looking post-cym, but never found her--never suspecting she remained in the garden. Hyacinth is the fusion of Wysteria(left knee sapphire) and Cornflower(right knee sapphire. @autistic-yveltal made Moon & the left knee component of Hyacinth, and @morningstarships owns Angelite, Tiger's Eye, Erza, Purple Diamond, and Purple Pearl(who is unknown if she's in this au yet).

#main cast au #su au #su gemsona au #su #my drawings #also 90% of the main cgs' love language is physical touch so they're always leaning on each other or hugging or holding hands or generally #standing rly close to each other

Yellow Diamond (Aunt)

Crush: Crosshair

Backstory:

Blue Diamond was seen as flawless, but she had weaknesses. One just happened to be, she fell in love with a human.

It’s been years since Pink was ‘shattered’, and yet despite her rage towards the planet, Blue still came to the surface, in secret.

She’d just visit Pink’s old palanquin, that’s all.

But one day, something, a feeling she thought lost, urges her to go further.

She travels below the ocean floor, her movements not strived towards a point of destination.

She eventually makes it to the U.S.

It isn’t till she explores the area (forests, mountains, rivers) around her does she feel some sentiment that Rose had of this planet.

She decides to have a child. Not just for said child to experience the bound of peace she hasn’t felt since Pink was shattered, but for love.

Lets just say the dad isn’t in the picture.

Blue Pearl assembles her Pearl and a Ruby squadron to care for the child.

While the rest of Blue’s colony moves from Homeworld to the other side of Earth’s galaxy. A pair of twin planets they colonize as basically a gem community.

Of course their both a two days trip notice to Earth if needed.

To ‘fit in’ all of BD’s colonies gave themselves human names. It took awhile, since they all gave each other names starting with the first letter of their gem type.

Some did go beyond Earth names, some even went for Mandalorian if they could.

Which happen to lead to the clones of Kamino.

Of course Belle sends squadrons from the twin colonies (later named ‘Ocean’ and ‘Sea’ Colonies) to free the clones and kick Kamino butt.

Since most of BD colony is diplomacy, it’s easy to get galaxy rights and certification for all the clones.

They also heal and reverse the accelerated aging. And find the inhibitor chip and get it removed (helps arrest the Kaminoians + Dooku + Palpatine revel).

The Clone Wars has already been happening, so many clones get adopted by their Jedi generals.

And in turn, the oldest clones adopt the Cree baby Jedi kids in return.

Which also shuts down the ‘Jedi steal force sensitive kids from families’ rumor. They take in orphan force sensitive kids, and raise them. Only way they ‘take away’ said kids is if the family is toxic/abusive/dangerous. Which by then, a clone is likely to have adopted said kid by the time they reach the temple.

The Ocean & Sea colonies help restore old Jedi temples to be habitable once more, as well as get a planet for the clones to live and develop freely. Lots of support and resources come to said colonies from across the galaxies. Their very persuasive.

All this is all done by the time Steven & Alex are three years old.

The twin brothers meet one another at age one, but at 2 years old, Alex is kidnapped by Dooku.

Took a full month to find him, and despite the colonies be diplomats..they have been exploring other occupations too…and they all are part diplomats part fighters so…

Dooku gets arrested (no one mentioning the clear bruising and black eye as he’s handcuffed).

Palpatine goes into hiding, but not before vowing to obtain Alex and Steven, and use their diamond powers to make him unstoppable.

Aqua Squadron moves in with Belle and the squad to protect Alex (and Steven).

Belle makes another gem temple, underwater near Beach City.

It’s able to go above water so no one has to swim down deep to get in.

After that, the twins have their amazing childhood…until age 12.

Homeworld deals with the Crystal Gems two years earlier due to Belle and the colonies diplomat and other accomplishments.

Due to Alex’s early trauma and shy, quiet personality, Steven is a bit less hyper/naive than in canon.

So filter episodes like ‘Together Breakfast’ , ‘Frybo’ (Alex would of been TERRIFIED), ‘Onion Trade’, ‘Joking Victim’, ‘Steven & the Stevens’, ‘Secret Team’, ‘Garnet’s Universe’, ‘Future Vision’ (Alex kind of suspected Garnet was a fusion. I mean he’s meet many Sapphires on the colony planets, and he literally lives with a group of Rubies.)

Minus ‘Serious Steven’ (If anything it’s more serious than humor) & ‘The Test’

Lapis gets out of the mirror earlier thanks to Belle recognizing said gem.

Eyeball doesn’t hate Steven as in canon (more dislike till PD discovery). Alex though she likes (but would rather shatter than admit it).

Instead of Greg getting kidnapped by BD, everyone just goes on vacation to the Naboo Jedi Temple (let’s pretend there’s been one since forever or if anything was built by the Sea and Ocean colonies cause why not.)

Steven & Alex celebrate their 15th birthday there.

The Bad Batch just happens to be there at the time, and so love at first sight for Alex.

One year later the twins head to Homeworld.

Same thing mostly, only Yellow instead of Blue so…more YD screen time!

White Diamond fight happens…but instead of Steven it’s Alex that get his gem taken out. Alex pushed Steven out of the way so yeah.

The Bad Batch just happen to be on Earth when Steven sends the SOS message from Watermelon Steven. Yeah…they have some questions about that, but first they head to Homeworld with Bismuth, Belle, Peridot, Lapis, and the Aqua Squad.

Unlike canon, they do make it to see WD pull out Alex’s gem and well…

While Bismuth, Lapis, and Peridot try to free the Crystal Gems, Aqua Squadron helps Connie & Steven, and the Bad Batch go after WD.

By this time, the squad has been video chatting/texting with Steven & Alex (+Connie) and have all really gotten close over the past couple of months.

Crosshair tries to shoot WD in the diamond, but Bismuth reminds him they aren’t shatters.

“You’re not, but I will if that giant keeps mocking me with Alex’s gem like that.”

He eventually, reluctantly stands down and instead helps Alex reunite with his gem half.

Unlike canon, there is indeed a hole where the gem is on Alex, graphic as you can imagine, in simplification.

Alex becomes whole, Steven throws that one line that of course Wrecker & Amethyst joke with him later about, and happy ending all around.

Crosshair may of definitely kissed Alex in private at the celebration party back on Earth.

Age 16, Spinel comes to Earth, but by then a couple of Jedi have worked to have a Jedi-Earth education club (Connie of course joins as she’s already made one of gems and is president of) and so the drill is dealt with earlier.

As for Spinel…we’ll mostly canon aside from the drill. So the Spinel final fight up in the sky/in the ocean.

Alex was on a mission with the Bad Batch, 212th, and 501st at the time (mainly babysitting Luke & Leia who are born earlier. Anakin left the order after Palpatine’s defeat and lives on Naboo as a mechanic. But he still has his saber just in case.) managed to come back and help Steven by the concert canon scene.

Yes they were all confused of the whole scenario despite Steven’s explanation later.

White and Yellow come down and yeah Spinel goes with them same as canon.

By the time the twin’s 17th birthdays are coming near, is when Steven goes through his PTSD and more event.

Alex is able to stop him from shattering Jasper (but just barely), but gets poofed as a result.

Crosshair & Alex become a couple by this time.

A couple weeks pass, and Steven decides to hit the road as Connie heads to college.

She also has a internship as a diplomat, becoming later the head of the Gem-Earth senate party in later years.

Steven becomes an artist. Withh the help of the gems, Alex, and Connie, makes the history of his life, the Gem war, and more in a graphic novel series (basically the show/movie but comic form).

Alex goes on to become a writer, writing multiple novels after co-writing with Steven on his. He also travels with the Bad Batch on a couple a mission every other month, which mainly consist of bounty hunters, assassins, or natural disaster cleanup (slavery has already been abolished long time by now so yeah).

Trivia:

Loves oranges.

Hates avocados

Insomniac ever since the kidnapping

Has been known to do all nighters, worse than Tech

Is vegetarian.

Can’t resist a good vanilla milkshake.

Loves a good, warm blanket.

Likes to wear Crosshair’s armor in secret (and by that, Crosshair knows but let’s it slide cause the view is just amazing)

Very insecure about his body, especially his chest cause gem and all.

He’s not overweight mind you, but has a bit belly you know?

When nervous, pinches the sides of his chest (has caused bruising in the past).

Crosshair will not give up until Alex sees what he sees, perfection.

Will especially hiss/fight anyone who says otherwise (A couple of regs walking along and whispering such hate? Crosshair will go all out.)

Alex can’t stand intense hot weather despite living in Beach City most of his life, yet is better than most in extreme cold

Only swims with his shirt off if it’s just him and Crosshair.

Crosshair can’t get enough of Alex, both body and mind, and when the shirt comes off, he’s practically feral.

While fluent in all Earth languages, he can’t write any but English. But speak and understand? No problem.

While going on a couple of missions with the BB every now and then, he always tries to find some sort of gift/trinkets to give to Crosshair.

His brothers think it’s adorable and tease Crosshair always.

Crosshair vows when they all get lovers to do 10x worst to them.

But keeps every gift in a secret spot on the ship.

Doesn’t curse as much as Crosshair, but when he does, you know sh*t is about to go down.

Pink, you did that to your first pearl yelling at with your powers, you abandoned spinel in the garden, you lied to bismuth, betrayed her used your sword stapped her, lied to garnet and pearl, and then you keep pearl a secret fake shattered. You are being brat. You are a fraud and a monster. Now I get it, you don't know anything a truth, make front of your son steven, he's mad at you you know. He's glowing turn into pink. thanks to you anyways.

I don’t know if this is an ask for any of my AUs because in the AUs Steven has glowed Pink but was revived.

I will say a lot of rampant hate for Pink really disturbs me especially when it’s from people who forgave the other three Diamonds. Pink did a lot less pain and hurt. She did commit mass genocide, she didn’t shatter gems like the others (especially Blue Diamond), she did actually stand up again the system that did actually benefit her, saved a planet full of life, learned to slowly respect other gems and humans alike, and much more.

Pink was a spoiled and detached gem. She didn’t have equals and every gem was either below or above her. Still she did say “thank you” to the pebbles. She was a babied spoiled brat whose powers did mix well with her childish personality. Even Steven seemed to struggle with his powers and both Pink and Steven suffered trauma.

I was abused in the same way as Pink Diamond. As a hyper child suffering from ADHD and I was just diagnosed as someone who just barely lands on the autism spectrum I wasn’t treated well by my teachers. I was hit and verbally abused and they locked me in a dark room for hours on end with nothing to do. Pink was a spastic and energetic gem and the tower doesn’t allow her to get mental stimulation and it prevents a lot of light to get in. Gems need light much like plants. It’s like a form of starvation. Pink was probably just barely able to keep her form.

Pink on Homeworld wasn’t able to grow and mature until the gem we later see. Again she isn’t perfect and her more recent stunts like all the lying especially some of the really big ones, making Pearl keep such a massive secret which is mentally damaging, and bubbling Bismuth. They are more recent faults and at the time she was their very involved leader. She 100% screwed up but it doesn’t mean she’s a bad gem. She has flaws and all.

If every pork chop was perfect we wouldn’t have hotdogs.

I have been playing around with the idea of a Diamond Swap AU with Purple and White Diamond. So I made a screenshot redraw with Sophie (who's the daughter of Greg in this au) and Conner (who is the twin brother of Connie and is sort of the Steven of this au). I actually have put a good bit of thought into this au, but don't worry I'm still working on my main au.

Just some random bits of info for this au:

Purple and White are the smallest diamonds. They both rebel after receiving Earth as their first colony (they share it and White only rebelled because Purple wanted to protect the Earth and its creatures). They don't fake their own shattering because White suggested it would be more of a meaningful rebellion if all gems knew that two of the leaders of Homeworld is fighting against the others (basically them showing that not all of the diamonds agree with the Diamond Authority). White is similar to canon!Pearl in this au, at least with the relationship Pearl had with Rose/Pink. Volleyball and Pearl swap places in this au and Purple still has her own pearl. The Crystal Gems consist of Purple (who later takes on the form of an Amethyst after the war because it's easier to get around), White (who later takes on the form of a Moissanite after the war because it's easier to get around), Aubie (Purple's pearl), Penny (Pink Pearl, White's pearl), Garnet (a fusion between a ruby and a padparadscha) and Carnelian. Purple and Greg get together and have Sophie (which Purple was ecstatic about because she would be creating something entirely new). Connie has a twin brother named Conner and both end up best friends with Sophie.

Then it pretty much follows canon/hj. Actually that's all I've thought about. I do have outfit designs for the diamonds and the pearls. I'm planning on drawing Purple and White in their different forms because I just love the idea of designing outfits for the different reforms.

Anyways, this was just a silly lil fun thing I made. If you want to learn more about it or want me to develop it more feel free to send in asks with questions on it. Be sure to either refer to it as Diamond Swap AU or DSAU so I know what you're referring to. Have a nice day and stay creative ^w^

AWAY…(have a ficlet From Latticeof Infinity/Elegy of Dead Kingdoms—from this shattered disaster of a crack SpaceRockOpera—the lyrics are from Nightwish’s, ‘Away’. Because some divine being posted 4+ hours of Nighwish’s Top50–and this song embraces quite the Theme of this segment from my particular AU crossover of StarWars-through TTT/HandofcThrawn/Merged Dark Empire1/Shadows of Mindor/events of the YuhzanVong War with Firefly/Serenity, and the Keltiad-squished into the Firefly ‘verse as an Independent system…)

~

“Away, away, away in time Every dream's a journey away Away, away, to a home away from care Everywhere's just a journey away

Cherish the moment Tower the skies Don't let the dreamer Fade to gray like grass…”

~

The first time Thrawn kissed Rhyanon it was after he’d destroyed a fair bit of the Galaxy by collapsing the Wormhole connecting the Terran quadrant with the quadrant of the Imperial Remnant still in conflict with the Republic Alliance. He had good intentions, because there was really no other way to slow Abaddon. But, the fallout by anyone’s measure, even megalomaniacs like the long-deceased Sith, Palpatine, proved a little apocalyptic.

Thrawn, of course, had a contingency plan for the survivors, leading them to the old ruins of the 2nd Death Star, which existed in a sort of fluctuating twilight-world of shifting space-time corridors. An after-effect of the cataclysm imploding through the continuums of the meta-verse.

Amid other events leading to this moment, Rhyanon eventually found him kneeling in the sands of the Oceans of Time, staring off into a horizon of fire and storm and cosmic winds. Pain and anger stained their shared past, dating back years to her time as a courtesan-trained-medic while in Palpatine’s court, when Thrawn was promoted to Grand Admiral on the eve of the Emperor’s death.

Until this moment, she never would have suspected Thrawn capable of suffering as other sentients. Loss, the great price of sacrificing the Ascendency to stall Abaddon’s dark ravaging of planetary systems, wrought lines of weariness heavy upon his brow, around his mouth. The shadow haunting the scarlet eyes cut raw in her heart.

Thrawn asked if her people, the Keltoi, had a word for the kind of grief that formed a void beyond emptiness. “A ballad or a lay, perhaps?” His words stumbling out in that eloquent cadence of velvet and steel, edged in bitterness. “The Keltoi—the legendary race of warrior-poets.”

Rhyanon couldn’t recall any from her youth. But then, her youth had been stolen prematurely, swept away by a brutal act of violence, taking her from everything she’d known and loved.

A memory came to her then, of her brother. Bard-trained Talhaiarn, an officer of the Keltoi fleet in service to the Ardrian Aeron Aoibhell. Warriors, the Keltoi as the Chiss, and Talhiarn renowned as a fearless pilot, a devoted commander. He’d indulged music’s magic as an escape from the horrors of war.

As she knelt before Thrawn, Rhyanon spoke gently. “I may have no verse to offer, but my brother often says the first song was born of sorrow so deep, words were inadequate to lift such sadness to the skies.”

Thrawn’s grief, his remorse, buried under the armor born of leadership, broke through, etched in rivulets of moisture, liquid garnet, like blood, rolling down his azure cheeks.

Rhyanon, with her biokinesis, accessed the nanoplexus integrated into her central nervous system. A graceful curl of her wrist, bend of a finger, she directed a green-gold plasmic current, capturing, analyzing the composition of his tears. The microscopic manifesting as vision, the molecular shaped into an endless weaving of threads imparting life. The profundity of sorrow captured like a globular prism, a raindrop, a teardrop, restless as the cosmic storms ravaging the horizon of this liminal plain.

“Chiss lacrimal secretions,” she murmured as he stared at the mirage coalesced between them, rapt by her enchantment, “while differing in certain constituents, hold a similar salinity to human tears, an osmolarity nearly matching the ocean waters.”

Rhyanon tried offering some other surcease beyond an academic text, wiping at a blood-tinged track from against his cheek. “Our tears flow, as our lives, and our griefs, rivers washed into the Sea where all things end. And emerge again.”

He searched her face, trying to find some salvation from the decisions he’d made. Dreamlike, she slowly leaned toward him, hearing his muted gasp at the softness of her lips upon his cheeks, his dark lashes, wet, salt like human tears—why would she expect differently—where she kissed away his silent sorrow. His surrending sigh as she chastely brushed his mouth with hers, held the synchronicity of their breath, shared in this precious moment.

When Rhyanon drew back, she seemed as mystified as he, her action leaving them both pensive. Her eyes drifted shut, as she turned from the wonder in Thrawn’s look.

And in those moments where Rhyanon still seemed held by that light first brush of lips, Thrawn, utterly mesmerized, reached toward her, her eyelids fluttering wide as he guided her face close. Before she could tense back, his mouth claimed hers, thirsting, seeking, wanting. Her breath caught in surprise, but she responded, easing to the exploration of lips and tongue, eyes closing once more, lost to the taste of warmth, and the heady euphoria of wandering hands, his arms encompassing her supple form, her hands clinging onto his shoulders and neck… ~ It was said, of the 5 Greatest Kisses in the Galaxy, this one was ranked somewhere in the top 10. A true Cold Mountain performance, as Kaylee might have approximated. Had she been there to witness the Kiss. But because no one of the Serenity crew, or the Wilde Kaarde had any idea what transpired between the biokinetically gifted Keltoi medic, and the former Grand Admiral, now Supreme Commander of the Imperial Remnant united with the Empire of the Hand, and they only found out about it after-the-fact, it was ranked in the top 10, without ever receiving any explicit ordinal denomination.

The Republic Alliance and the Fringe systems of the Terran Core were amid a truce with the Empire of the Hand, but the split of forces on either side of the spatial conduit had delayed progress. The conundrum of truncating communication and travel in the absence of the wormhole left River Tam with a puzzle more entertaining than figuring out how to overcome the thousands of meteors orbiting Coruscant, utilizing the antiquated tracking of spatial aquatonics, accelerated by River’s unique talents. A mind operating in fractal domains, dimensional analytics reducing equations to a few hours, that would have taken the Republic’s best physicists a month, she needed something else now, to keep her distracted, or the sound of Abaddon’s Reaver-Hybrid Clones, never far from her consciousness, might threaten the precarious hold she’d only recently recovered of her sanity after Miranda.

Thus, on that rare evening while Rhyanon and Thrawn continued groping and caressing each other like teenagers riding passion’s hormonal tidal wave, Ar’alani was subjected to learning why Terran humans seemed so obsessed with quoting script-lines from long-dead movies. A favorite of these oft-repeated one-liners: “as you wish,” Jayne, Serenity’s weapons-happy muscle-man, babbled every time Ar’alani drifted somewhere in his general vicinity.

This was the penance for losing the Girls’ Night Drinking Game to Zoe and Saffron—aka Mara Jade. Subjected to Jayne’s movie-night choice of Old Terra’s cinematic selection stored in Serenity’s archives. Who knew a man who strolled through civilian markets with a rocket-launcher on his shoulder because ya’ never knew what fruit-vendor might turn into an assasin indulged a secret fetish for romances.

Resignedly, Ar’alani settled back on the worn cushions of the sofa, housed in a back storage pit of the ramshackle smuggling ship. Serenity gloried in its disarray and disrepair like a flick-off to Talon Kaarde’s well-maintained vessel, and orderly crew.

Stale beer and cigara fumes filtered through the air of Serenity’s makeshift entertainment center, holos projecting what Jayne swore as the greatest movie of all time.

“Want some?” Jayne asked, rattling a bowl of heat-reactive seed kernels under her nose, crunching down on a fluffy piece of styrofoam-looking cellulose lathered in butter and salt.

Ar’alani’s expression puckered at the charred pungency of fumes wafting from the bowl, and altogether overwhelming for the refined senses of Chiss olfactory centers. “No, thank you,” she said, trying to keep the forebearsnce from her voice, seeing Jayne’s puppy-dog eyes. “And if you say, as you wish one more time, I’ll dump those seed kernels—popcorn—“the word awkward from her throat”— over your head.”

A mistake, she realized, quickly learning females speaking in a commanding voice only made Jayne more moon-eyed. Which was enough for Ar’alani to toss back another Ewok microbrew.

Keth roach piss would have tasted sweeter*, she thought spurring another curse at Thrawn for bringing them to this lost twilight realm. The crash site of his old Emperor’s mad battalion of destruction. She chokied down the beverage, because drunk was the only way she could envision sustaining Jayne’s company for the next 2 hours, and hoped whatever involved the Supreme Commander in that moment, it was either thoroughly tormenting or worse, boring to the point of death.

When she learned later, the indulgence that had indeed occupied Thrawn, she had no regret for the data-pad aimed at his head from across the conference desk of his office. Thrawn caught the object effortlessly of course, which irked her all the more. Fuming, Ar’alani stalked out from the office, vowing over her shoulder as she exited between the sliding doors, Thrawn could spend the next movie-night subjected to Jayne’s visual art tastes, his rancid popcorn, and cheap alcohol. She heard the low laughter in her wake, the words, “As you wish,” reaching her as the doors whisked shut.

For a moment, she considered turning back around, marching through the doors, up to Thrawn, glaring fire to match the subtle teasing glint in his eyes. And stuffing as you wish right back at him.

As entertaining as the vision was, of smashing a few more data-pads over Thrawn’s polished composure, Ar’alani prided herself on possessing the rare trait of taking the high-road, as the saying went.

Especially because of the laughter. That had been good to hear. Clean, honest laughter, something like joy and the bravado she recalled when Thrawn had been an infuriating captain under her command.

After all the loss, the death, and decimation swallowing their Galaxy, with Abaddon, and forces of the Coroniad-Virathi [read: my analog to the Grysk, but adapted from the Keltiad verse] still afoot. It was the first time she’d heard that sound from him in decades. And if it took basting the Keltoi medic—Mal Reynolds kept calling her Gaia—in reference to some ancient Terran goddess that recalled Rhyanon’s abilities of organic molecular manipulation. Well, Ar’alani decided, if this was what followed a good basting for Thrawn, it was better than the melancholy devouring him since the Battle of the Event Horizon.

So, she held her peace that day, hope’s candle, a flicker in the storm, but present, wakening for the first time since she’d led the few Chiss survivors to this rendezvous of Endor, fleeing their home-worlds, a cold rage constricting her chest, watching Csilla’s incinerated caracass fade away like a million ashes blasted across the Star-ways.

Hope, that flickering candle in Ar’alani’s mind. She strode down the passage to the main hanger-port, notified of General Skywalker’s return with a new collection of refugees from the Infernal Regions bordering the dimensional rift left by the Wormole’s collapse, dubbed Ginngungagap, after some other archaic Terranism.

Echoing through her mind, with that candle, the words, As you wish, yourself, Vu’rawn.
