How would Peridote take to finding the Gold Boombox?

“What a curious contraption…”

The green gem wondered aloud. Peridot’s dark green tongue pushed through the corner of her lips as she examined the mysterious device. It resembled a human boom box, a meep-morp created and popularized in the 1980’s, but this one was in mint condition and had a pristine golden shine to it. It looked absolutely stunning for a human device, Peridot thought to herself

She clicked her recording device and began her analysis.

“Peridot’s log: this Golden Boombox is an interesting discovery. It resembles one of the more ‘retro’ models from the early 1980’s, but it has been handled very carefully. Almost no sign of aging has appeared at all upon initial investigation.”

Peridot bent down, her finger extending over the “Play” button

“Testing the buttons now”

*CLICK*

Nothing happened

Peridot strengthened up. “No music has started playing upon hitting the play button. As expected, given how there is no music cassette inserted in the device. Now testing the-“

🎶Want your dick soaked? Place it down my throat Tongue tickle yo' dick but not telling a joke Peddle in this pussy that's how you rock a boat It get live in this pussy, I'm not talking Periscope🎶

Suddenly, the Golden Boombox started blasting a phat beat, shaking Peridot so bad that she fell on her butt

“What the…!? Damn machine must have some delay” She tried standing back up, but something stopped her. The beat ran through her body like an electric current. The urge to thrust her hips up into the air was growing inside Peridot

🎶In the sheets I am a bully Give more head than a hoodie Every time you make me cum it look just like vanilla pudding Sit on yo face all day until you say, "Bae, it hurt me" Then I turn around and give the dick more kisses than Hershey's🎶

"H-huh? W-what is this...?" Peridot couldn't help herself now. Her body moved on it's own, bouncing up and down to the beat. "T-this music...it's making me move so l-lewdly~" With the last of her strength, Peridot managed to flip over and get on her hands and knees.

As if sensing this, the boombox only grew louder and louder.

🎶Yo' dick brick-hard like a medal (uh) I got three holes for it like a pretzel (mhm) Tight as a virgin boy don't get nervous (tight) I'm here to serve you customer service (right) I save dick by giving it CPR (I save dick by giving it CPR, yes) Put my mouth on it like CPR (Let's make porn and watch it on VCR)🎶

Caught in the trance of the beat, Peridot's butt began twerking as the chorus picked up

"S-stop! I c-cant' stop myself!" Her ass was bouncing up and down now, clapping to the beat. Soon, the leggings Peridot was wearing began to rip, as her already perky ass and plump thighs began to widen from the mystical tunes

🎶 I think we should fuck up in every zip code It would make my pussy wetter than a fishbowl Pussy a kitty cat, I pet it like a pet I fuck doggy style so much I need to go to the vet

Hotbox? More like a scorching pussy Open this coochie up like a fortune cookie Yo' banana in my mouth watch my tongue go ape Yo' dick getting more blows than a birthday cake🎶

RRRRIIIIIPPPPP~

And like that, Peridot's phat ass grew even fatter, now tearing through her favorite pants

"Noooo! Damn this infernal machine!" Peridot slammed her fist down on the ground. A cute gesture, given how lewdly her ass was bouncing up and down. "Oooogh...but then...why does my head feel...?" The green gem's eyes began to cross, a scorching heat spreading strongly through her body. If the forced morphing wasn't bad enough, now her body was aching with an unfamiliar need. Her ass only continued to wobble, shake and clap with thick, whompy slaps

🎶 When I'm near it, no, I don't fear it Licking on that penis like a letter when I seal it Today way wetter than my past slob And if you unemployed, I can give you a ass job

Pussy already wet don't need no lube ointment Dick twisting in my stomach like food poisoning That's how you know when you hit the spot I'll make your pants unzip more than Ziploc 🎶 "Sooooo ghuuuuuud~" Peridot's face contorted into a dopey grin. The pleasure and the music were warping her mind, filling her up with so much warmth, that she couldn't think straight. "I...I don't wanna stop! Louder! Play it louder!" She mewled. And like that, any hesitation in Peridot's mind was wiped clean. She popped her ass out, clapping along to the beat and the lewd lyrics. Anyone who walked in on her now would be treated to the sight of the thicc green gem throwing it back like a whore

...Which is precisely what happened to Lapis upon entering the barn.

Peridot was singing along to the slutty lyrics while twerking, her bubbly ass growing more and more with each passing moment

"Peridot...?" Lapis' voice quivered in confusion. Normally, the blue gem was stoic as the sea, but seeing her best friend like this made her confused and a little frightened

And that wasn't even mentioning how the loud music was slowly causing her hips to gyrate

Peridot looked over her shoulder, giving Lapis a sly wink

"C'mon Lapis! You've got to try this~"

#to be continued...?#steven universe smut #peridot smut #lapis lazuli smut #golden boombox ask #this was also fun~

Tim is selfish for the moon.

It shines bright overhead, filtering stubbornly through the haze of Gotham’s smog and nested inside a silvered rainbow nimbus that Tim needs a better camera to capture. Full and white, he wishes he could look at it and feel anything besides guilty anticipation.

Because he knows that on nights like this, it doesn’t matter what terms they last parted on. He’ll be in Jason’s bed by midnight.

Fort Peric

A self-ship fluff fic with Peridot

Art by the wonderful and talented @/Drawendo!

Tired and exhausted, I dragged myself into the house and saw Peridot on the couch looking at her tablet. Upon seeing me she smiled.

“How was work?” Peridot asked.

I sat on the couch and face planted into Peridot’s chest. The only response I gave was a long groan.

Peridot hugged me and stroked my hair. “Long day I’m guessing?”

I nodded. “And still one more day of work before Christmas weekend, and I only get one extra day off.”

“If you prefer staying home over the weekend Lapis and I will understand.”

I then remembered we were planning to go to Beach City for a holiday gathering. While most people get excited for holiday gatherings with family and friends, I’ve had mixed feelings about it for several years. Maybe it’s seasonal depression, my social anxiety, laziness, or a combination.

“I’ll see how I feel on Christmas morning,” I replied with a sigh.

“Sounds good,” Peridot said and kissed me on the forehead. “So, is it snuggle time?”

“Yeah, but I’d like to do something a little different.”

“Oh? Like what?” Peridot asked curiously.

I thought about it and wasn’t sure. I lifted my head and looked around the living room trying to think of an idea. As I laid back on the couch cushion a light bulb went off in my mind.

“Want to make a pillow fort and snuggle in it?” I asked.

Peridot giggled. “That sounds fun!”

We gathered every cushion, pillow, and blanket we could find and placed them on the couch.

“How much detailed design do you want to put into this fort? I could make blueprints, or if you want to keep it simple that’s fine too,” Peridot said.

“We can put a little bit of detail into it. Something more than just a box of pillows and cushions.”

Peridot nodded and we set to work. She grabbed some chairs so we could drape an entrance into the fort with blankets and a couch cushion as a door for the entrance. The couch would be used as the main part of the fort with pillows surrounding it.

“This kind of reminds me of making a city out of boxes as a kid,” I commented.

“How do you make a city out of boxes?” Peridot asked curiously.

“A lot of imagination, some boxes of course, plus toy cars, trains, and planes, and Legos if I wanted to build something with detail. I didn’t realize back then that I already had an interest in how cities and their transportation systems function, and now here I am and it’s my career.”

“It’s interesting how much humans change, but some characteristics of individuals remain the same for decades or even their whole life,” Peridot commented.

“Hm, I never thought about it that way, but you’re right.”

“If you’re okay with it, I may make a meep morp based on that.”

“Based on the box city, or the change of humans?” I asked.

“Mostly the former, but also the latter,” Peridot replied.

“I’d love it! I’d also be happy to assist if you need it.”

“I’ll take you up on that,” Peridot said.

As we continued working on the fort I looked at the fireplace and another idea came to my mind.

“Do we have enough pillows and blankets to make a short tunnel to the fireplace? Then if we get chilly we can warm up in front of the fireplace without getting out of the fort.”

“Good idea! Yes, we should have enough for that.”

With a tunnel to the fireplace added our pillow fort looked completed.

“What should we name it?” I asked.

“The fort?”

“Yeah! Every fort has a name, and while this isn’t a complex fort it’s still unique.”

Peridot thought for a moment. “Well since we made it together, how about combining our names?”

“Fort Peric?”

“Perfect!” Peridot said excitedly.

I smiled. “Alrighty, Fort Peric it is then.”

“Now to use it,” Peridot said and took my hand.

We moved the couch cushion and crawled inside the entrance. While the floor is carpet, we put a blanket on top for extra softness.

Peridot turned to me and patted a spot next to her. As I crawled to her I looked at her beautiful face and soft smile. The long work day and cold trip home were completely forgotten at this point as we kissed.

“Want to know a fun fact, Peridot?” I asked.

“What’s that?”

“I’m in love with you.”

Peridot snorted and giggled. “Thank you for the reminder. Did you know I’m in love with you?”

I gasped sarcastically. “I had no idea!”

We both laughed together and resumed smooching.

“Did we make enough room for Lapis?” I asked.

“Yes. I’m not sure if she’ll be home by the time you typically go to sleep, but we’ll keep this fort in place so all three of us can enjoy it together.”

Just the word “sleep” made me yawn.

“Perhaps your sleep will be earlier than scheduled tonight,” Peridot said.

“Quite possible. It’s so comfy in here that I may just fall asleep in your arms, if that’s okay with you.”

Peridot wrapped her arms around me and held me. “Of course.”

As I rested my head on her chest I struggled to keep my eyes open. In my half awake state I felt Peridot kiss me on the forehead.

“Happy holidays, Eric,” Peridot whispered.

Not long after I was asleep Peridot also fell asleep while still holding me.

Around midnight Lapis came home and quietly tiptoed in the house. Perplexed by the mountain of pillows and blankets held up by the couch and chairs, she examined it closely and could hear faint snoring inside it. After a little bit of trying to figure out how to get in, Lapis crawled inside and smiled when she saw Peridot and I snuggled together. Gently she laid by our side.

I awoke around five in the morning with Lapis and Peridot still sleeping. I was a little tired, but mostly well-rested and ready to take on one more day of work before Christmas weekend. Although I still wasn’t sure if I would go to Beach City on Christmas Day, I did feel better about the chances of wanting to go. After a forehead kiss for Lapis and Peridot I slowly crawled out of the fort and began my day.

My Top Posts in 2022:

Can you please write something about a sick feverish Anakin chose to have a fight (argument) with Obi-Wan, hiding his condition during the whole thing, and also failed at the end? (Loses the argument and fails to hide how sick he actually is) if not it’s also fine, thanks

Hello! Like all the prompts in my inbox, this has been sitting here for months, so I apologize. But I took some time to fill this one! Thank you for your patience, anon!

***

“You never listen!” Obi-Wan snaps.

“Then try saying something interesting for once!” Anakin bites back.

This particular argument is… bad. Not that any of the arguments Obi-Wan and Anakin have are good, per se, but as Anakin grows older, their fights become more vicious in nature. The more they learn about each other, the more weapons they have in their individual arsenals — Obi-Wan’s words a piercing arrow, Anakin’s, a newly sharpened knife.

Anakin huffs and tries to storm away, but Obi-Wan positions himself in between him and the hallway to his bedroom.

“No, you do not get to walk away from me right now,” Obi-Wan says. He stares Anakin down, noting the wild fury in his eyes. They’re glassy with it — the unkempt rage Obi-Wan has tried and failed to smother for the past eight years. He finds himself looking up into Anakin’s eyes instead of down. This particular change has been years in the making, but it still catches Obi-Wan off guard, especially in moments like this.

“Let me go,” Anakin says, stepping closer to Obi-Wan.

“No. You are not done explaining to me why you continuously go behind my back to sneak out of the temple and wreak havoc in the lower levels.”

“I’m not a kid anymore, Obi-Wan,” Anakin snarls.

“You’re not an adult either.” Obi-Wan surveys Anakin in hopes of finding a gap in the armor. His face remains stoic and stubborn as ever. “But you are a member of the Jedi Order, and as such, you are expected to hold up our tenets everywhere you go. May I remind you what one of the biggest tenets of the Order is?”

“If I try to stop you, you’ll just ignore me.”

“At least you’ve learned one thing,” Obi-Wan hisses. The arrow strikes its target, and in the back of his mind, he knows he’ll regret saying it, but in the heat of the moment, he revels in the small flinch of Anakin’s eyebrows. He straightens his shoulders and clears his throat. “One of the core and most basic tenets of the Jedi Order is that we are peacekeepers and we use our gifts to help people. Not to get into fights and destroy property.”

“I didn’t do it on purpose! It was an accident!”

“Oh, so destroying a vendor’s entire cart by dropping metal scaffolding onto it was an accident?”

“Yes! I was aiming for that sleemo who cheated in the race.”

“You do realize you are not helping your case, right?”

Anakin groans and rolls his eyes, though he seemingly loses his balance and takes a jilted step to the left.

Obi-Wan narrows his eyes.

“Anakin, if you somehow managed to hurt yourself down there, I’ll—”

“I didn’t,” Anakin says, cutting off the threat before it can be administered. “I’m just tired.”

“Maybe you’d be more well-rested if you didn’t sneak out in the middle of the night.”

“Maybe I’m just tired of you.”

That’s it.

“Go to bed,” Obi-Wan says, his voice cold.

“What?” Anakin asks.

“I said go to bed. There are only a few more hours of night left, and you’ll need all your energy for the circuit drills you’re going to be running first thing in the morning.”

“But I was going to—”

“I don’t care what you were going to do tomorrow. Your plans have changed.”

Angstpril Day 8 - Don’t Lie to Me

Obi-Wan is the man who never sleeps.

Or, so it would seem to those who spend the most time around him. Anakin isn’t even sure he does actually sleep. All he knows is that his Master goes to bed after him and rises before him.

Anakin will find himself staggering to bed, dead on his feet from a long day of classes, while Obi-Wan is contentedly working on his lectures with bright eyes and only a cup of tea for company. In the mornings, Anakin will cling to his last dregs of sleep and curse the morning light while Obi-Wan has already gone through all of his morning meditations.

Logically, Anakin knows Obi-Wan does sleep. It just so happens that he sleeps when Anakin is unable to verify without a shadow of a doubt that he does so. Now, however, Obi-Wan is sleeping quite soundly on the sofa in their living room — and he’s been like this since they returned to their apartment from their evening meal at the refectory.

Anakin does a decent job of focusing on the classwork he’s been meaning to catch up on, but his eyes keep shifting back to his Master’s resting form. He’s curled up on his side with one arm tucked to his chest and the other hanging over the edge.

Maybe it’s nothing.

Perhaps Obi-Wan is just getting caught up on all the sleep he doesn’t seem to get. Anakin decides to return his attention to his galactic history research and slowly works through some of the boring readings until the daylight streaming through the windows fades to a golden dusk and eventually to an inky, black night.

Mentally exhausted from his classwork, Anakin stands up and stretches. He yawns tiredly and shuts off his datapad.

He thinks about slinking off to his room for the night and leaving Obi-Wan to his rest on the couch, but something inside of him tells him to check on his Master.

Quietly, he pads over to the couch and kneels beside Obi-Wan. “Master?” Anakin whispers tentatively. “Obi-Wan?”

Anakin had hoped that would elicit a response. Obi-Wan is a light sleeper, after all. He’d wake up to a gentle breeze, if there was one.

Anakin’s concern spikes when he places his hand on Obi-Wan’s forehead. Dry heat greets Anakin’s palm and he grimaces.

“Hey,” Anakin says a little more forcefully. He shakes Obi-Wan’s shoulder. “Master, wake up.”

Obi-Wan groans. “What?”

“Not your most clever response, but I’ll take it,” Anakin says.

“I’m sleeping,” he murmurs.

“I can see that,” Anakin says. “Maybe you’d be more comfortable in your own bed?”

Obi-Wan nods, and slowly drags himself up to a sitting position. His eyes are glassy and fever-bright, but unfocused on anything in front of him.

“Come on,” Anakin says, pulling him to his feet. “Let’s go.”

Obi-Wan stands, unmoving with a dazed expression.

“Master, you really don’t look too good,” Anakin says nervously. “Maybe you should see a healer.”

“I’m fine, An’kin,” Obi-Wan slurs.

“Don’t lie to me.”

“Not lying, I’m—” Obi-Wan’s face goes a shade paler. “I’m—”

“Master?”

Obi-Wan’s eyes glaze over and go even more unfocused than before. He takes one staggering step forward before his knees begin to buckle.

“Master!”

Anakin catches him before he can hit the floor. “Master?”

Obi-Wan’s eyes remain closed and he’s lost to the world.

Finding Obi-Wan

Hello! It’s been a litte while, but I’m here with the prologue of my latest long-form fic, Finding Obi-Wan.

Read Finding Obi-Wan on Ao3

Here’s a little snippet for y’all:

Obi-Wan Kenobi doesn’t think he’s ever had a headache this bad in his life.

Of course, he has no way of proving this. He just knows his head hurts beyond reason. It hurts so terribly he cannot see straight and his stomach churns with nausea.

He woke up in a nondescript alleyway. It was dark and his face was half in a puddle, wetting his hair and chilling him to the bone.

Now, he sits in the same alleyway, because truthfully, he has no idea where he is. For that matter, he has no idea who he is beyond the simple matter of his name.

His name is Obi-Wan Kenobi and his head hurts.

This is all he knows.

Ahhhh Anon!! You are so sweet! Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed my fic!! In no particular order, here are some Anakin whump recs!

The Madness and the Apathy by @strugglingbutstillfighting - After accidentally injuring himself, Anakin isn't impressed about having to do this 'rest.' Katie's Note: This author has A TON of great Anakin whump stories, you should check out all their stuff!

Spiked by @ahsokryze - During a Senatorial Gala, Anakin causes quite the scene when he collapses after drinking something that wasn’t intended for him. Katie's Note: I adore this fic. It's one of my favs. This author also has a ton of amazing disaster trio whump and goodness in her repertoire, so please go check her out!

Outside Comfort by @delless03 - After the battle on Maridun, Anakin's injuries finally catch up with him. Katie's Note: Yet another author with a bunch of great stuff, but this recent fic has made me very very happy.

Shine by sideral - A nightmare left Anakin feeling panicked and sick. Fortunately, he is not alone when he wakes up. Katie's Note: I don't know if this person has a tumblr, but this is one of my fav fics. I adore little sickfics.

Welcome Home by @sonderwalker - A misunderstanding between Obi-Wan and Anakin boils over into a fight where feelings are left unsaid... for a little while that is. Katie's Note: AKA one of my favorite fics of all time. It's a comfort fic for me.

sun child by @rose-blooms-red - sometimes being so tied to the Force causes problems, Obi-Wan helps his Padawan as best he can. Katie's Note: Another one of my favs. I am absolutely fascinated by fics that explore the bounds of Anakin's Force powers and the Force in general. This one's super cool.

A Magnet for Trouble by @hellowkatey - Anakin gets too close to a Sith artifact, and Obi-Wan must figure out how to get his padawan back. Katie's Note: The Halloween vibes in this are amazing. It's such a unique little fic and I love it.

Four Walls and Two Jedi by hellowkatey again - Obi-Wan and Anakin get exposed to a deadly virus and must spend two weeks in quarantine battling sickness, ghosts from the past, and worries for the future.

Behind the Clouds, the Sun is Shining by Your_Old_Shipmate again - Obi-Wan is confronted by Anakin's traumatic past after an accident happens in their apartment. Katie's Note: This one hurts so good.

Because I'm running out of time here, some other amazing author's to go check out for Anakin (and general disaster trio) whump, hurt/comfort, angst and all that good stuff are:

@giggles-and-freckles

@alright-anakin

@adaliak

@katierosefun

@kckenobi

@ilonga

@pandora15

@indigostars

They have a ton of great stuff!

Ahem, I uh... I'm going to throw some absolutely shameless self-promo in here as well because I have a few Anakin whump fics I've written too!

A Necessary Favor - When Anakin’s small cold turns into something much worse, a simple mission to Alderaan becomes anything but. Obi-Wan just hopes he can rely on the newly inaugurated Senator of Alderaan for help.

Breaking Point - Anakin tries to prove himself. It ends in Force exhaustion and a worried Obi-Wan.

Under My Skin - Obi-Wan and Anakin crash land on a planet strong with the Force. It doesn’t agree with Anakin.

Below The Surface - Anakin gets swept out by the tide and Obi-Wan panics.

There are SO MANY amazing Anakin whump fics and writers out there that I am certainly missing, but this is a start! Thank you so much for asking, it's been a long while since I've done a rec list! This was fun :))

Little Homeworld Life chapter 23: Eye of the Beholder (originally posted on May 29, 2023)

AN: Took me a long while, but Squaridot has her own episode at long last! Unfortunately, it'll be one of the last two fun slice of life episodes we'll get, the second being the one after this, before we move onto the finale of Little Homeworld and inevitably, the start of this universe's 12-chapter grand finale "Steven Universe Snake Eyes". Yeah, if Ronaldo's outburst last episode was any indication, combined with the final scene of the last episode of Black Pearl Brigade, we shall finally meet the Snake People, or Sneople, face to face. However, what I have planned has yet to come. In the meantime, have some Peridot-brand shenanigans in probably a much shorter chapter than usual.

Synopsis: Squaridot learns about meep morps from Peridot.

Cast:

Shelby Rabara as Squaridot, Peridot

Jennifer Paz as Lapis, Laz, Zuli

Gal Gadot as Desert Glass

Noël Wells as Black Rutile

Amy Sedaris as Teal Zircon

Estelle as Garnet

Michaela Dietz as Amethyst

Deedee Magno-Hall as Pearl, The Black Pearl Brigade, Yellow Pearl

Kimberly Brooks as Jasper, Superfan Rose, Hippie Rose, Shy Rose, Carnelian, Skinny Jasper

Lauren Ash as White Topaz

Casey Lee Williams as Cat's Eye

Christine Pedi as Holly Blue Agate

Hayley Kiyoko as Morganite

Christine Baranski as Hessonite

Featuring Nolan North as Ross Roberts

"Howdy folks, my name is Ross Roberts, and welcome to this week's installment of The Wonders of Creativity." A painter in a ridiculously huge afro said in an incredibly soothing voice to his viewers at home. Viewers like Squaridot, for example, who was watching the program very intently. "For this episode, we're going to paint a nice little picture of a cozy cabin in the woods. That's right." The host began his demonstration by showing off each of his paints as he stuck his brush in them. "Now then, we're just going to start with a little Virtuous Viridian for the grass. Can't have a forest without grass."

"Fascinating." Squaridot muttered in wonder as Ross Roberts continued painting his forest scene and giving instructions overly relaxingly.

"I do declare; we're making some good progress so far." Ross stated after he finished painting the grass, some happy little trees, and the beginnings of a bright sun in the sky." He then dabbed his brush in some blue, which he dubbed Blue Angels. "Now then, let's add some Blue Angels into the mix to form a clear summer sky." Unfortunately, Ross lost his grip and accidentally spilled his entire pallet onto his canvas, much to Squaridot's shock and dismay. "Whoo, that did not go the way I wanted it to!" he exclaimed at his own clumsiness before turning to his viewer with a shrug. "But that's okay. Oftentimes in art, you make mistakes, but they can also be opportunities to learn. I may not have gotten the painting I wanted, but I can still make something new out of it."

"Like what?" Squaridot asked Ross, even though he could not answer, before he pulled out a paintball gun from off-screen and fired it at his canvas, stunning Squaridot as the canvas was utterly pelted with paintballs. "WOW!"

"There now, that ain't so bad." Ross declared serenely. "Now then, I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today, folks. So from all of us here, I'd like to wish you a happy painting; God bless us, everyone, and remember, hugs, not drugs." The program then ended, leaving Squaridot amazed at how Ross Roberts was so calm the entire episode.

"That was so interesting!" Squaridot gasped to herself. "I never realized how you can do literally anything with art! I must tell somebody about this." Luckily, she knew exactly who to tell about her experience.

"Not bad, you guys." Lapis complimented her sculpting students' work elsewhere in Little Homeworld. "Hey, if you want, you can submit your work to a meep morp show we're putting on later today."

"Excellent." Black Rutile declared while creating a sculpture of herself from clay. "I've been constantly pondering building a statue to myself in honor of how amazing I am, and I must display it for all to see."

"Boy, you're as conceited as ever." Peridot stuck her tongue out at Black Rutile before seeing Squaridot rush up to her. "Oh, Squaridot, good day to you."

"Peridot, I come to tell you something that I really want to do!" Squaridot exclaimed eagerly. "I want to do some art!"

"Oh, took you long enough!" Peridot laughed heartily at her squarer counterpart. "Though Lapis and I prefer to call them meep morps, we're okay if you insist on calling it art."

"Good to see a fellow artist among us," Lapis added. "What made you want to pursue it, Square?"

"I was just binging episodes upon episodes of Ross Roberts' The Wonders of Creativity," Squaridot answered. "I've just been suckered into how soothing the host's voice was."

"Yeah, that is definitely a big draw of the program," Peridot stated with a hand on Squaridot's shoulder. "But on a related subject, let's talk about all the different kinds of meep morps you can do! For example, Lapis teaches sculpting, but there's also painting, drawing, literature, photography, and music. Or you can do what we do and throw random things together to make something new."

"Hey, that reminds me," Squaridot replied. "what made you two pursue art, and why do you call it meep morps?"

"Well, I chose to call them meep morps because I thought it would be funny," Lapis revealed. "I mean, just those words together kept making me laugh, and it just stuck."

"As for how we got into artwork, that's quite a tale," Peridot added. "You see, it all started when we were making ourselves home at the barn."

"Well, Lapis, how are you doing remaking this old barn?" Peridot asked Lapis while the two were busy remodeling the barn to fit their needs. Earlier that day, Lapis had tossed a truck into the wall above the big doors as a way of venting her frustrations with Jasper, and that gave Peridot the idea to spruce up the place instead of leaving it to be devoured by the numerous termites lurking there.

"Coming along nicely," Lapis replied while lifting up the silo with a pair of water arms and positioning it at the side of the barn. "You're good to go now!"

"Excellent!" Peridot declared before she welded the silo into the wall with her tools. "That should do the trick; the barn's exterior has officially been overhauled. Now what to do about the inside?"

"Not sure if we really need a fridge or heating or something," Lapis observed the current status of their pet project. "What do you think?"

"I don't know; maybe some art could do," Peridot suggested before pulling out her tablet and looking up art pieces online. "Unfortunately, a lot of these seem ridiculously expensive. I mean, this old Japanese painting of an orange fire ninja fighting a blue ice ninja is worth $1,081,992! Do you know how much that's worth in Minerals?!"

"Beats me; I was never really up to date on the Gem economy." Lapis shrugged while Peridot crunched the Gem equivalent of such a price.

"About 89,1006 minerals!" Peridot yelled in response and shoved her tablet in Lapis's face. "We don't have that kind of money!"

"So, are you suggesting we make some ourselves?" Lapis suggested. "What ideas do you have?"

"I'm glad you asked." Peridot proclaimed as she looked around the farm. "There's just so much we can do with all this old junk lying around. Plus, it could be a good, and less dangerous, way of coping with stress."

"Yeah, I like the sound of that meep morp." Lapis agreed before she started laughing. "Oh my stars, why did I think that?!" she chuckled. "It's just such a funny word!"

"That did sound pretty funny!" Peridot added while rolling on the grass in amusement. "Why don't we start calling out art pieces meep morps?!"

"Yeah, great idea!" Lapis continued laughing before she realized what she and Peridot just did. "Wait, what?"

Back in the present and later in the day, Squaridot had begun work on her own meep morp to enter into the art show with help from Peridot, Lapis, Laz, and Zuli. For her first attempt, she had constructed a perfect replica of her old Attack Pod from back when she was a servant of Hessonite. "Well, what do you think? Not bad for my first attempt, huh?"

"Yeah, not half bad," Peridot responded while knocking on the replica Attack Pod. "It looks almost like the real thing!"

"That's because it is!" Squaridot proclaimed. "Well, partially the real thing. Do you know that whole Ship of Theseus thing? Well, I basically took what I could find of the original Attack Pod and replaced everything that was broken! In a way, I basically rebuilt it."

"Yeah, but how much of the original is still left, I wonder?" Zuli asked quizzically.

"Let's not get too deep into this." Laz stopped Zuli's philosophizing in its tracks before she knocked on the statue. "You sure this isn't going to turn on at any moment and go on a rampage?"

"Oh nonsense, I took very special precautions to ensure such a thing won't happen!" Squaridot exclaimed nervously before the machine suddenly activated. "Oh no."

"TARGET CONFIRMED; INITIATE ASSAULT." The Attack Pod droned as it fired away at its surroundings, causing nearby Gems to panic while Squaridot awkwardly shuffled away.

"No, wait, come back!" Peridot yelled as she chased after the Attack Pod.

"Wait here, Squaridot, we'll handle this," Lapis said as she flew up and followed Peridot to stop the Pod.

"So, very special precaution, eh?" Laz smirked at a very nervous Squaridot.

"I'm so sorry for all of this." Squaridot meekly apologized.

"Don't worry, squirt," Zuli cheered Squaridot up. "Hopefully, we can find some other form of art that won't start destroying everything in sight!"

Once Peridot and Lapis stopped the rampaging Attack Pod, they returned to training Squaridot in the ways of meep morps. This time, they sat her in front of an easel with a set of paints. "Okay, so what do you want me to do now?" Squaridot asked.

"Anything, ah doy!" Lapis advised Squaridot. "That's the beauty of painting; you can basically do whatever you want. Then again, the same goes for all kinds of art."

"Anything I want, huh? Then anything you shall get!" Squaridot declared as she got to work on her painting. When she finished, however, Peridot and the Lapides quickly noticed how familiar the smiling woman she painted was. "How do you like it?"

"Hate to break it to you, but that's already been done." Laz gave her critiques.

"But on the plus side, I love how you perfectly recreated it." Zuli added politely.

"Wait, you mean to tell me someone already painted this?!" Squaridot complained before she threw her finished painting away and started anew. "I must find something else to paint, something way more original!"

"Don't get so discouraged; you'll find your footing." Peridot calmed Squaridot's nerves before discovering that the other Peridot had now completed a painting of a human man with two pairs of his arms and legs superimposed on him and spread apart. "See, you're getting good at it!"

"Actually, I'm pretty sure I've seen that one before too," Lapis added while resisting the urge to laugh at the nude man Squaridot just created. "Try another!"

"Will do!" Squaridot declared before painting what looked like a massive tidal wave looming over three boats in a storm. "No!" she complained before throwing it away and painting what looked like a beautiful starry night. "No!"

"What are they doing?" Jasper muttered as she and White Topaz watched Squaridot paint the day away.

"Looks like Squaridot is painting." White Topaz observed. "Should we go help her? She's looking really distressed."

"Naw, this is something she has to do herself." Jasper coldly replied before walking away from her girlfriend. "Come on, Paz, let's check up on the rest of the entrants."

For what felt like hours, Squaridot accidentally recreated famous paintings only to throw them out and start again. Feeling increasingly discouraged, she eventually gave up and threw her pallet on the canvas.

"Hey, this looks good!" Lapis pointed out.

"No, this is exactly what Ross Roberts did!" Squaridot complained before throwing that canvas away as well. "What else can we do?"

Another kind of meep-morping that Squaridot attempted was sculpting, and she had Lapis and Peridot serve as her models. She hoped beyond belief that things would go right this time, that the Attack Pod wouldn't show up again, or she'd end up ripping off some other famous artwork.

"Good, good," Squaridot muttered to herself while looking over at Lapis posing with Peridot on her lap. "Not bad so far. Ooh, this is looking fantastic!"

"Maybe this won't fail this time," Laz said hopefully as Squaridot finished her sculpture and presented it to her models.

"How does it look?" Squaridot asked eagerly while presenting her finished product to the two Gems.

"Hey, not bad!" Lapis complimented Squaridot's sculpture, relieved that nothing will go wrong for once. "I really like how you captured Peridot's energy here."

"Oh, finally!" Squaridot sighed in relief when she realized something. "But I think it could be better."

"Oh lord, it's good enough!" Laz snapped at Squaridot's negative self-talk. "You did good enough!"

"Hey Laz, calm down!" Zuli tried to settle Laz's anger. "Though really, it's not like you're going to accidentally drop it on the ground and ruin it."

"Well, I am far more careful than that," Squaridot said while gently putting the sculpture down, only to step on it accidentally. "Great." She muttered disdainfully before walking away. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to deal with artist's block now."

"Squaridot, wait!" Peridot yelled and chased after the other Peridot. "You can't just give up that easily!"

"I'm not giving up; I just need new ideas!" Squaridot clarified and took a deep breath. "Would you like to know what I was doing after you saved me from the ship?"

"I don't know. What?" Peridot asked.

"I joined Black Rutile," Squaridot answered, much to Peridot's surprise. "No, it's not what you think! I was only with her for a few months before Hessonite found me! Let me explain. Initiate super wavy flashback effect!"

Almost immediately after being saved by the Crystal Gems from Hessonite's warship and being brought up to speed on Era 3, Squaridot was scooped up by Morganite during the early stages of the Rutile Rebels' formation to hopefully indoctrinate another victim of the Crystal Gems' oppression into their cause.

During their time together, Morganite helped Squaridot develop and master her ferrokinetic abilities, and they built many of Black Rutile's war machines and technology together, such as surveillance drones, dropships, and weapons of mass destruction. However, Squaridot felt that Black Rutile wasn't really fighting for the good of all Gems; she was just an angry bigot who refused to let go of her past.

"How has your training been progressing, 4E3M-7ZY?" Morganite asked Squaridot one evening while the Peridot was in the middle of meditation. "I hope you've been keeping up on your education."

"I'm doing well, Morganite," Squaridot answered. "Black Rutile's nuclear fusion device is almost done; we must make some final touches. Once it's done, we can finally use it to force the Decapodians into servitude."

"Excellent work, Peridot," Morganite said with a smile and a pat on Squaridot's head. "I knew we could put your genius to good use." Suddenly, security alarms began going off, signifying that an intruder may have entered the facility. "What's going on?"

"Morganite, we have a break-in!" a Ruby soldier declared from the other side of the room. "That Hessonite just laid siege to our base and is taking down every Gem in sight!"

"Her again?!" Morganite growled before she turned to Squaridot. "You stay here; I'll deal with her!"

"That won't be necessary, Morganite," Hessonite said as she suddenly appeared behind the renegade designer and prepared to strike. Still, Morganite thought fast and made Hessonite's sword collide with her Rejuvenator. "Stop what you're doing right now, and come quietly!"

"Never; she has come too far to give up now!" Morganite retorted before turning back to Squaridot. "What are you waiting for, Peridot? Leave now!"

"Wait, Peridot?!" Hessonite exclaimed. "Which Peridot?"

"Peridot Facet-4E3M Cut-7ZY." Squaridot reintroduced herself to Hessonite. "Fancy seeing you again, Hessonite. How have you been doing?"

"Ever since I helped Steven stop Demantoid and Pyrope, a lot of vigilante work fighting rebel Gems," Hessonite stated before knocking the Rejuvenator out of Morganite's hand. "Morganite was but one of the Gems I've been tracking down."

"Don't think about taking her away from me!" Morganite said while backflipping away. "This Peridot is but one of the innocent Gems that I saved from being brainwashed by the Crystal Gems, and I won't let you capture another!"

"I was not brainwashed!" Squaridot exclaimed. "They simply offered me a new life, and I simply turned it down for now."

"Well, what do you say, Peridot," Hessonite replied. "still willing to accept a second chance?"

"Don't listen to her; it's a trap!" Morganite begged Squaridot. "Just go away so Hessonite and I can talk one-to-one." She then pointed at Hessonite. "Just you and me and my GUARDS!" At Morganite's command, an army of Jasper and Amethyst guards burst into Morganite's chamber to assist their boss against the intruder. "Seize the traitor to the old ways!"

"One Morganite and nineteen Quartzes against little old me sounds like pretty bad odds," Hessonite observed just as Squaridot walked up beside her, wielding a pipe.

"Yeah, for them." Squaridot declared as the two charged into battle against the guards. "And by the way, call me Squaridot."

"If you say so," Hessonite replied.

"So, after defeating the guards and escaping, Hessonite decided to take me in as one of her sidekicks." Squaridot finished explaining her flashback to Peridot. "As you can observe, I didn't stick around long enough to absorb Black Rutile's manifesto, which leads us to today."

"Now, what does that have to do with our current situation?" Peridot asked. "And why didn't I hear about this before now, and yet this is being treated like this has always happened?"

"What I'm trying to say is that just like how Hessonite gave me a new approach, I need a new approach again right now," Squaridot said before a familiar voice began echoing through her mind.

"Oftentimes in art, you make mistakes, but they can also be opportunities to learn. I may not have gotten the painting I wanted, but I can still make something new out of it." Squaridot imagined a floating Ross Roberts head appearing on her shoulder, repeating the lesson he learned from his painting mistake before slowly fading away. "Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes, mistakes…."

"Wait a second, that's it!" Squaridot proclaimed excitedly. "I made so many mistakes today, but what if I can do something with all those mistakes?!"

"That's a stellar idea!" Peridot replied. "Where did you get that idea?"

"Just some voices in my head reminding me of what I heard earlier," Squaridot answered. "Been happening a lot lately."

"That's what we call using your head, Squaridot." A wrinkly green face with a male voice in Squaridot's head agreed.

"You have a good idea there." Another green face with a female voice added.

"WESLEY." A strange robotic voice declared.

Later that day, the art show had finally begun with Gems from all over Little Homeworld coming over to display the meep morps they spent that day creating, ranging from paintings to statues, photographs, and more; everybody had a method of art that they wanted to show off.

"And here we have this magnanimous statue dedicated to me." Black Rutile explained the bronze statue of herself holding one hand out while the other was holding the hand of Aquamarine as the two stood on top of Steven's dead body. "I consider this a monument to the idea of perseverance and how in the face of seemingly impossible odds, truth, justice, and a better tomorrow will always find a way."

"Oh, that's nothing; witness my statue!" Desert Glass proclaimed while making her sand sculpture of herself animate itself through her movements. "Try and beat that."

"Guys, this doesn't need to be a competition." Chest Rose said while she, Navy Rose, and Shoulder Rose demonstrated their meep morp, which was made up of various objects, all stuck together to make a collage. "I gathered up all the materials."

"So that's what happened to the trash bags!" Amethyst exclaimed, pointing out some of the items used for the Roses' piece.

"As for our piece, we'd like to show off pictures of all our previous adventures," Nacre said before she and the Black Pearl Brigade presented photos of their bounty-hunting adventures, ranging from their showdown with Mr. Manco on Sergione-29, meeting Sylvia Spectre, vacationing on Kyukanza, and many more.

"We truly had some glorious adventures." Braids declared.

"Some you may not have even heard of before, like this one," Cap added before presenting a picture of an adventure to the planet Yorha. "Sculder felt really at home here, but he had to choose between living among his fellow machines or sticking with us."

"But eventually, after we convinced the Yorhans to get off their shiny metal asses and help stop Andesine, they realized that Sculder's real home was on the Servant," Pony stated while the Pearls' robot companion Sculder gave a thumbs up.

"I simply painted this picture of a number 2 pencil for my artwork." Teal Zircon said before pulling a tarp off her painting of a pencil and holding a pencil in her hands to compare. "I don't know why I painted this, but it helped me remember that the most important thing in life is to use a number 2 pencil." She then angrily growled, "Number 2!"

"That is certainly a unique idea for art." Garnet raised an eyebrow. "Pearls, what did you do?"

"Our piece was far more refined than all of this!" Yellow Pearl boasted as she, Blue Pearl, and Volleyball presented a tribute to the struggles Pearls faced in the old days. "We dub this piece Little Rebellions. Carnelian and her Jasper friend helped us with this one."

"Thanks for giving us credit!" Skinny Jasper exclaimed as she and Carnelian clapped.

"Woo, go, Pearls!" Carnelian whooped.

"And finally, let's see what Squaridot did." White Topaz stated while turning to Squaridot, who replied by pulling off a tarp revealing an amalgamation of all her attempts at art thus far. Her paintings now decorated the arms and legs of the subdued Attack Pod, and at the top was her destroyed sculpture of Peridot & Lapis. "Ooh, this looks neat! What do you call this one?"

"I call my piece "Mistakes," after an epiphany I had from my continued attempts at meep morps." Squaridot explained. "I got it from an episode of The Wonders of Creativity with Ross Roberts, and he made a mistake just like me when making meep morps, but he could take it in stride because he says they can also be opportunities to learn. I may not have gotten the painting I wanted, but I can still make something new out of it."

"That is really profound." IQ gasped in awe as everybody started clapping.

"Not bad little Peridot, not bad at all." Tails agreed with IQ.

"Please, Holly, and could do better than that." Cat's Eye confidently stated.

"Don't get too cocky, Cat." Holly Blue advised.

"We're so proud of you." Peridot and the three Lapises said in unison.

As Squaridot began taking a bow for her efforts, she noticed Morganite standing among the applauding Gems, who then gave her an approving nod. The two may have parted ways, but Squaridot still saw that Morganite held some respect for her.

But hidden in the crowd, Black Rutile used the applause to further her devious plots. A quick trip with the Warp Pad allowed her to steal some Gem shards left over from the Diamonds' dismantling of the Cluster and the various Cluster experiments. In particular, Black Rutile got her hands on the fragments of a Phoenix Lapis Lazuli, an Emerald, two Citrines, and a Demantoid, which she knew would be perfect for adding to her forces and satisfying the needs of one of her subordinates.

I told you this would be shorter than usual. I mean, it's probably a given since the final two chapters of the series will probably be far longer. But on another subject, next chapter will be the last fun one before we get into the more serious stuff because we'll be heading to the Olympics! Well, not really the Olympics, those are far later in real life, these are basically the Olympics at home. I'm getting ahead of myself, see you next week.

Actual fanfic motivation has occurred. I have 2 new very bad fics. One is called "It's a Bed You Fall Out Of" and it's NOT Lapidot. It's just cute/sad.

She was pulling as hard as she could, but her strength was running out. She had to keep Malachite underwater, for the Earth, for Steven, but it wouldn't work forever. The chains started to wobble, and then they fell away, uncontrolled.

Malachite was free, and Lapis was falling.

Lapis hit the wooden ground of the barn hard. She was still sweating from her nightmare. The hammock swung from side to side above her with the force of her falling. As she got up, breathing heavily, a green face showed up right by her own.

"Again?" asked Peridot. "Maybe you should get a more stable bed."

Lapis considered her barnie for a moment. "I would," she said quietly, "but..."

She sighed and looked away. "That's not the reason I'm waking up."

"What other possible reason could you have for waking yourself so abruptly and why haven't you fixed it?" replied Peri, indignant at the fact that her best friend hadn't told her about this problem.

"I've just been having dreams about, well, Malachite," she said the name shakily, "and the mirror and Navy."

"Dreams? Like Steven has?"

"Not like Steven has. He has magic dreams. For everyone else, it's like... the thoughts they have mixed up into, I guess something like, a video on TubeTube."

"And is this bad?"

"...Yeah."

Peridot came even closer than she had been before, which was very close, and wrapped her arms around Lapis stiffly and awkwardly.

"Wh-what is this?"

"A hug. It's a human thing. It's meant to comfort you."

Lapis slowly calmed down in the robotic grip. After a minute she returned it.

"I will be your dream guardian," said Peridot after releasing the blue gem. "I will stand over you with that meep morp I made by sharpening a stick using a rock," she went on, and gestured to a pointed stick sitting a foot away.

"Thanks, Peri, but... I think I'll be fine tonight."

"Promise to tell me if you have another nightmare?"

Lapis smiled. "Promise."

The next one is called "Off-Color" and it's an AU about baby Amethyst.

"8XM hasn't emerged yet."

"She'll catch up. Let's go!"

Amethyst tumbled out of her little hole too close to the ground. The other Amethysts turned to look. She looked back up with her wide eye, the one unobscured by her short fluffy hair. Then she stood up and mimicked the others' positions, with an adorable fake menacing expression. She giggled.

"Woah. What's wrong with this one?"

"She's adorable!"

"Quartz soldiers aren't supposed to be adorable!"

"Well, that's not her fault!"

The tiny gem watched the others argue with her head tilted to the side. She thought for a moment, then shapeshifted herself to look more like them.

"Is this what quartz soldiers are s'posed to be and not adorable?" she asked. The other soldiers stopped yelling at each other. One of them stepped forward.

"You don't have to be like the others. With training, you can still be a good fighter." She extended her hand. Amethyst looked at it and un-shifted back to her normal form. She held out her own hand, just like the Amethyst in front of her. The larger Amethyst picked her up, which she seemed to enjoy.

"Wait. Stop," said a calm, pretty voice from behind a corner. A Sapphire came into view, flanked by four Rubies. Her gem glinted on her cheek. "The small one can't go back to Homeworld. She'll be shattered."

A buzz arose among the Amethysts. The small one seemed unfazed.

"I foresaw this whole thing, so I came here to help this Amethyst. You'll have to trust me to take her while you go back to Homeworld. I know a place where she'll be safely hidden."

"Yeah! Trust my Sapphire or I'll kick your butt!" called the Ruby with her gem on her shoulder.

"Behave, Ruby."

"Yes, Ma'am."

The Amethysts exchanged looks. "How do we know you're not sent from Homeworld to shatter her yourself?" asked one of them.

"I'm afraid I don't know how to prove that," said the Sapphire, grabbing the shoulder Ruby's wrist to keep her from attacking the Amethyst that had spoken. "But consider this: if you take her back to Homeworld, she'll be shattered for sure.

"I think she's right," said a soldier. "Give her to me."

The Amethyst holding the little one hesitated before reluctantly handing her over with a pat on the head that she giggled at. The one who had requested her put her down in front of the Sapphire.

"Thank you for trusting me. Let's go, Rubies."

The Amethysts watched the Rubies lead the little one away. She waved, confused about why she was being taken. The Amethysts continued once she was out of view.

She behaved surprisingly well on the Ruby ship. Aside for a few times that the Ruby assigned to control her had to reprimand her for annoying the others, she sat quietly and imitated Sapphire. She actually spent most of the ride shapeshifted as Sapphire. She smiled at the little gem's antics.

They landed in a huge kindergarten, where two gems stared, terrified, at the ship. The one sitting on the head of the four-eyed one was smiling obliviously. The ship door opened as the oblivious one gasped. "I predict we'll be found!"

"I know, Paddy," said the four-eyed one, who lifted her down and hugged her close.

"We haven't come to hurt you," called Sapphire. "We a have another gem we need you to keep safe here."

"Annooothhheeerrrr gggeeeemmm?" said the huge one slowly.

One of the rubies led Amethyst out.

"She's a tiny Quartz guard," said the Ruby. "Can she live here?"

Padparadscha sighed in relief. "They're not hurting us. They have a gem they want us to protect."

Amethyst repeated her.

"She likes repeating others," said Sapphire. "Will you take her?"

The two fusions looked at each other. The big one nodded, and the other stepped forward after putting Paddy down.

"What's your name?" she said, extending her hand toward the Amethyst. The tiny gem mirrored her.

I hate them both.
