Can You Spare a Gem? ( STEVEN UNIVERSE FUTURE / SPINEL FANFIC )

Steven is 16 and he is the emotional support for all the traumatised gems in New Homeworld, but it's really starting to wear him down. He thought after he stopped Spinel from destroying the Earth, things would settle down. He was very wrong.

Spinel had only been at the Diamond's Palace for a week when she's accused of kidnapping Pink Pearl and quits her job, returning to Earth for Steven's guidance.

When Steven thought things couldn't get more complicated, he discovers there is a giant worm that digs up cities and then burrows deep into the planet's core... and Jasper's stubbornness is putting herself in danger.

Peridot is just over here being herself.
Watch as Steven's mental health and grasp on reality quickly deteriorate.
