Kidnapped at birth. Raised by tyrants. Built to break the very world that should have been his home. In this alternate‑universe retelling, Steven never grows up in Beach City. Instead, he is taken from Earth as an infant and forged into Pink Diamond, Facet 2: Homeworld's flawless heir, living weapon, and living reminder of everything the Diamonds lost. For fourteen years he walks the gleaming halls of Homeworld as a pampered prisoner, adored, displayed, and endlessly corrected. Yellow drills him into the perfect strategist. Blue shapes his every feeling into a performance. White demands a spotless mind and absolute control. Steven learns to smile on command, heal on command, shatter on command-until he no longer knows where their expectations end and his own heart begins. Then a routine mission sends him to a forgotten backwater planet called Earth. A sleepy beach town, a crumbling temple, and a handful of stubborn humans begin to unravel everything he's been taught. Memories that should not exist claw at the edges of his mind. A familiar song on the wind hurts more than any Diamond's punishment. The "monsters" he's ordered to eliminate know his name before he speaks. Torn between the family that raised him and the family that lost him, Steven must decide what kind of prince he wants to be: the perfect Diamond weapon who finally proves his worth, or the flawed, human boy who refuses to let an empire decide who he is. Love tried to save him once. This time, he has to save himself.

(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
