Steven Universe seires was created by Rebecca Sugar.
The AU was inspired by HowardTheAwesome1
The AU was written by Samuel152
Here are rules/changes of this AU:
Steven is 100% human, no gem relations whatsoever.
The Diamonds are shrunken down to a sustainable height (I'll explain in a moment).
Steven and Connie are not a thing, as well as he has no love interest (yet, I'm still thinking about it).
Greg is not Steven's biological father.
Steven is 16 at the start of the first AU.
The Diamonds abuse to Pink was taken to a new level.
Diamond powers can affect humans.
So, before it starts, here's a recap. This recap will be primarily for those who haven't read the first book and is not willing to read it now or if you have read it but don't remember much (This will go chronological order):
This series started off with Steven as an 8 year old boy in an alley who doesn't have a memory of what happened to his parents. He was found by two drunk men and they beaten on him and cut his arms and legs, nearly his neck until they ran off. He suffered greatly from infection to his cuts and then he found a gun.
He was about to kill himself until a woman stopped him. Her name is Phoebe, she was a widow in her mid twenties. She saw Steven's cuts and bruises and took him back to her place.
An 8 year timeskip occurs and Steven is normal again. His cuts have healed but left scars on his body, he wasn't scrawny anymore, and he knows how to fight. Phoebe taught him how to defend himself and to fight properly.
Phoebe used to be a MMA teacher, which explained her knowledge of combat. Unfortunately, Phoebe was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and they didn't discover it until it was too late. She died in her sleep, and Steven didn't know until he went to check on her.
Steven didn't take her death well, he used to treat her like a queen (which she was flattered but concerned about him at the same time) and now that she was gone, he didn't feel like he had much of a purpose. Again, he thought about killing himself but then thought that Phoebe would be ashamed of him for doing that, since she stopped him from doing it before. So, he went to live as long as he could.
He eventually finds a man named Greg Universe at a rockshow and him being the rockstar. Greg notices Steven was an orphan and offered him a spot in his beach house that he was going to built and Steven took it. He was reluctant at first but eventually went with it and helped Greg build the house.
Greg eventually adopted him and then something else happens. He meets a strange woman named "Rose Quartz". This woman turned out to be an alien species called a gem.
But this type of species seemed friendly and didn't want to take over the world, or so it seemed. She had three other colleagues and they are a team called the "Crystal Gems". Greg encouraged Steven to join but he refused, until Rose wanted him to join as well.
The members are Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst. They didn't like Steven and Steven didn't like them, simple as that. Of course, they wouldn't let him join just like that (mainly because he's a human, not a gem).
