"A diamond doesn't start out polished and shining. It once was nothing special, but with enough pressure and time, becomes spectacular." -Solange Nicole
Imagine, just for a second, that you are a being made of light. Strong. Beautiful. Powerful beyond imagining. But you decide to upend all that- for the love of another. For the love of life.
Pink Diamond is ready to sacrifice it all to become Rose Quartz- and change the history of gemkind forever, with the great Gem War.
Now see how one Diamond broke her mold- and upended history in the process.
This is the telling the story of Pink Diamond's creation, her relationship with the diamonds, how she inherited the Earth, and came to the decision to leave that entire life behind to become Rose Quartz- forever.
This will be an extremely ambitious project considering this story spans thousands of years, but I hope to do it justice. I want to do something unique with the storytelling, I hope you guys like it. I will try to be as close to canon as I can, and make educated guesses where necessary.
This will, of course, feature the origin story of the Crystal Gems :)

The Pink Gem
What if Steven wasn't the only hybrid ever born? What if, there was one before him? A little girl. Maybe, the birth of this little girl, was why Rose knew she had to give up her physical form to create him? And maybe, the girl's mother was a close friend of Rose. Both served under the same Diamond, both talked about rebelling before Rose finally took that first step, but the other stayed behind to relay Intel. What if this was Pink Pearl, a very important part of the Rebellion. And Pink Diamond's very own Pearl. The very same Pearl who fell in love with an artist named Nick Nightwood about 5,300 years after the war. This is the story of her daughter. This is the story, of Stella. None of the artwork that is used is mine. I do not own Steven Universe or the characters (except for Stella, her father, and some of the random people you've never seen in the show). Steven Universe belongs to Rebecca Sugar.Complete
Crystals - Season 1
Imagine White Diamond being contained, the war between Homeworld and the remaining Crystal Gems never ended, Lion had a shard of Pink Diamond, and a new kid with lots and lots of secrets came to Beach City. This can be considered as the original plans for my Steven Universe Continuation. Or should I say fanfiction?Complete

You had spent a eternity serving Yellow Diamond as a entertainer. Despite not understanding emotions, you loved her. She was your Diamond and no matter how much abuse she hurled at you, you had loved her more than anything.. Then she handed you down to her sister, Pink Diamond. Even though it had hurt you that she abandoned you, you had still thought things would be fine.. Until one day, people realized you were broken. They found out that you didn't understand fusing or emotions and said "well, as a entertainer you need to understand the acts you're performing! And a entertainer should be happy! It's part of their job! It's all a Tanzanite is!" And were going to shatter you.. Or so they thought. This story takes place sometime when season 5 is nearing it's end (I do not own the art used in the book. All rights go to the creators of the artwork.) (All rights to characters go to Rebecca Sugar.

The Strange Gem ( Gem!Reader x Steven Universe Various)
VERY VERY VERY VERY SLOW UPDATES! Many years ago, a gem emerged on the homeworld near the diamond palace. Pink, being the first one to recognize a gem emerging, told the other 3 diamonds about the information. As all four of them watched the new gem merge, it was discovered that the gem was born with two gems instead of one. Instead of shattering the gem, white diamond decided to keep them as they were a rare cut gem with an abnormal two gems instead of one. After the discovery, they decided to name the gem, Y/N. Y/N soon lived underneath the Diamonds and was treated as if she was a diamond herself. After Pink shattered, Y/N was heavily protected and had a harness around her at all times, always around either the diamonds or heavily guarded by two topazes and a jasper. After being allowed to roam around the Gem Warship, she was stopped by Steven who convinced her to help him find his friends and escape. After the explosion, she was founded by The Crystal Gems and was officially their 'hostage'. From being heavily guarded and kept within eyes sight and inside her whole life into being outside and experiencing many different emotions for the first time. This is when her story begins.
The Halves of Rose
"You don't choose family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them." - Desmond Tutu. A warrior who lost everything, an experience called an abomination by her own, a diplomat running from her mistakes, and orphaned twins just wanting to live up to what their parents thought they would be. They are Rose Quartz's legacy. They are the Crystal Gems. An odd AU that is rather different from canon (and yes, I'm aware of how weird the concept is). The story begins to make major changes as the story progresses. Anyway, hope you have as much fun reading this as I did making it. (Also, read chapter 22. Trust me.)Complete
The Corrupted Human (Steven Universe)
No one believed a human could stand against the Gem Empire-until one was given the power to change everything. Fenrir was one of the strangest members of the Crystal Gems. She was able to stand toe-to-toe against some of the toughest soldiers that Homeworld had to offer, but, despite her monstrous appearance-purple fur, blazing red wings, and horns that curved above her head-she was still human. Rose Quartz and Garnet rescued her from a Gem research facility, but even Garnet's future vision couldn't prepare them for the horrors Fenrir had endured. Her strength made her a formidable ally in the Gem War, and she quickly became an invaluable member of the Crystal Gems. She was their secret weapon, revered for her power. Unfortunately, none of them realized that they'd have to finish the fight without her. Near the end of the war, she was sent on a mission and disappeared, leaving her comrades to carry on without her. That is until several thousand years later when she appeared on a certain beach near a small town. As she reconnects with Garnet and the other Crystal Gems, she must confront the consequences of her absence, her volatile power, and the deep bond she shares with those she once fought beside. The battle isn't over-Fenrir still carries the weight of her past, and the future is far from certain. ~~~~~~------~~~~~~ Steven Universe OC insert with some focus on Garnet because Square Mom is Best Mom.
