A compilation of short but savoury tales regarding the terrifying renegade Pearl, and the curious aristocrat Lazuli. Neither should ever meet. One belongs to the fabled Pink Diamond, while also co-siding with the malicious Rose Quartz. And the other is but an introverted gem who wandered upon Earth on her own accord. Meeting would be impossible. But these twists of fate disregard the use of "would", "should" and "could".
