The perfect servant, the perfect stranger
10 parts Complete MaturePearl has always been by Rose Quartz's side. She wasn't just made to serve-she chose to. Through rebellion and exile, war and peace, Pearl stood as Rose's sword, her confidante, her constant. She was precise, devoted, perfect.
Then came Greg Universe. A stranger. A human. Loud, awkward, utterly ordinary. And yet, Rose laughed with him. Touched him. Looked at him like he was something new. Something precious.
Now Pearl watches as her world begins to crack. Rose keeps secrets. Greg lingers too long. And Pearl, the perfect servant, finds herself drowning in a jealousy she can't name and a fear she can't voice: what if she was never more than a tool to the one she loves? What if this human-a man who barely understands what Rose is-can offer her something Pearl never could?
As the tension rises, so does the question Pearl refuses to ask: If Rose can love a stranger... why didn't she choose me?
A canon-divergent exploration of love, obsession, and quiet heartbreak set in the early days of Rose and Greg's relationship-from the eyes of the one who saw it all, and was slowly being left behind...
