Steven Universe: Melanite Memoirs [W.I.P Still on-going 2025]

Set 5,600 years before the Great Gem Rebellion, Steven Universe: Melanite Memoirs follows the rise and unraveling of Melanite, the commander of White Diamond's Inquisitors - a shadow organization whispered of even among elites. Forged in the image of perfection and obedience, the Inquisitors serve as the Diamonds' silent hand: erasing dissent, purging imperfection, and enforcing the will of Empire.

When Melanite is reassigned to serve as Pink Diamond's personal protector and advisor on her new Earth colony, she views it as a demotion - a glorified babysitting job far beneath her station. Yet the longer she remains by Pink's side, the more she begins to question everything she was made to believe. The colony, the gems who serve it, and even the Diamonds themselves - all seem to pulse with quiet contradictions that Melanite can no longer ignore.

Through her eyes, we witness the slow decay of blind faith, the birth of rebellion, and the price of loyalty in a universe that demands absolute perfection. As the first sparks of defiance ignite among the gems of Earth, Melanite must decide whether to uphold the purity she was created for - or to stand against the very empire that gave her purpose.

Told as a reflective chronicle written after the fall of an empire, Melanite Memoirs bridges the unseen centuries between creation and rebellion, expanding upon Gem Homeworld's early hierarchy and politics with lore-accurate precision and deep emotional resonance. It's a story about identity, obedience, and what it means to be "perfect" in a world built on control.
