Half of What You Think of Me | Steven Universe x Reader | Book 1
(CROSS POSTED ON AO3) Sometimes, when you look at yourself in the mirror, you can't help but wonder "Why am I here?" You knew your mom wasn't in love with whoever your dad was. And you knew she gave up everything-her friends, her physical form, everything she truly cared about-to have you. But...why? She was everything you could never manage to be, confident, strong, friendly, perfect, and to top it all off, she would never stop until everyone around her was happen. You're absolutely nothing like her, and everyone knows it. Well, almost everyone knows. There's one person who doesn't know, or maybe he just doesn't care. Steven Universe. Anytime you start to doubt your existence and yourself, he's always around, lifting you up and admiring you in ways you didn't know were possible. You've been friends for your whole lives and he still admires you, somehow even more than before... You can help but admire him more too. He means everything to you and more. *I do not own Steven Universe or any of its characters or songs. I wish I did, but I don't. STARTED: 3/23/25

You are one of a kind. Well, at least that's what your father said. Not in a good way tho. Ever since you were born to Earth, all of the blames was reserved for you and you only. Being a half-gem human or a half-hybrid wasn't as easy and amazing as what people thought. It only led you to pain and tortures. Your father wasn't amused when he found out that you are the one who killed his dear lovely wife by giving up your mother's gem just to have you. Your mother knew she would be gone as she was having you, and yet she didn't stop to have you born. After years go by, your father had enough of you and finally decided to get rid of you. By drowning. Yet you still alive and was living and surviving alone. Until you met a certain curly-haired boy that was called by the name of Steven Quartz Universe. This is not my first time writing so I bet that I could make the chapter as long as 1000+ words. This book also took before the movie started. This book also contained bruises, blood, injuries, torture, gore and etc. If you didn't feel comfortable reading, I am so sorry and please read the one-shot book that I will be making. Without further ado, let's begin the story and please do enjoy! P.S: I am veryy terrible on making descriptions. I assure you that the book is better than the summary! -- Steven Universe x Reader #1 in stevenuniversefuture - 8/3/2020 #1 in stevenuniversereader - 8/3/2020 #1 in quartz - 7/6/2020 #1 in steven - 26/9/2020 Started: 3/2/2020 Finish: 23/10/2021 100K - 28/4/2021Complete
