winged-gem:
Angel drew her wand and took a fighting stance. The Hell Hound barked loudly before charging towards them. Angel quickly froze the sand in front of it, causing it to slip and loose focus on them for a moment.
What in the world was that thing? It had to be a gem monster. Garnet sprinted at the beast, preparing to strike it with her gauntlet. She seemed unhindered and attempted to knock the hound.
ascending-ocean:
“how can gems that are so different love eachother like that?”
lapis herself had never fused for anything more or les than battle, and most often they were fusions lacking in communication, letting her sit back and watch as the other gem ran the entire thing. she had only ever fused for battle, and knew very little about what fusion could be like. much less what a fusion of love could be like.
Garnet shrugged her shoulders, smiling afterwards however.
“They love being together” she paused, “And I love being me.”
They would always be together and nothing would keep them apart. Not even Homeworld would stop Garnet from being who she was. Being a fusion was who she was and had a deeper connection with it than probably any other gem that lived.
sorry to those i still have drafts for, I’m not 100% in a writing mood today
ascending-ocean:
Lapis leaned in again, observing sapphire’s gem. “thats….its so different… how can they be so compatible that they can stay in a fusion all the time even when they are so different?” she looked up at Garnet curiously, then edged away again, sinking into the water until her head was the only thing above the surface.
“Love...” she simply put, “And balance.”
Garnet was proof of the perfect relationship between Ruby and Sapphire and they really did balance each other out.

ascending-ocean:
the navy gem glanced over, looking into Ruby’s gem with barely hidden curiosity. “one of your gems controls heat? then….what does the other do?” she leaned over, then away again as Garnet sank into the water. she’d always had an inquinsitive mind…a;ways curious to the things she didnt understand…
“relax? what….scared im going to snap?”
Her body floated closer to Lapis, now showing off the palm containing Sapphire’s gem, “Cold.” The answer came out in a mild and neutral way, like it usually does with Garnet.
The fusion’s head turned towards Lapis, her expression blank and mind unfazed by the question. She just seemed tense and confused, and Garnet meant it would help her relax. Simple as that. While she was always keen to show off her powers, keeping them out in front of the other made her worried and slowly retracted them back into the water. It seemed to impress Lapis as well.

Letting out a chuckle when she pet him, he gave her a grin. “Good, I’m running out of faces to make…” he confessed sheepishly. His phone let out a tone at Connie responding to his photo, and, as Garnet predicted, she let him a couple photos of her laughing and making another face back.
Then an idea came to him. Who better to ask about girl problems than a fusion that was a relationship? Contemplating how to bring it up, he twirled a small ringlet by her face around a finger. “Hey, can I ask for advice?”
Having predicted the right outcome, Garnet was happy to see them being such good friends. As always, of course. Before Steven asked, the gem fusion thought about the question and answer to give him. Even if she was aware of how close they were, it wasn’t something she had entirely expected.
During her time with Steven and being closer to humans, Garnet taught herself to use her future vision less for conversations, “Yes?” She pondered on his issue, thinking of what to say.
ascending-ocean:
Lapis’s face flushed and she turned her head away, firmly making sure not to look at the fusion. she could feel the water heat up. she wasnt capable of controlling the temperature of the water…just its form…the shape it takes. she couldnt control the heat of the water anymore than she could control her own body heat.
she really didnt want to talk to the other….but eventually curiosity won out. “how are you doing that? making the water warm? it only started once you got in…”
A small smirk emerged from her lips, noticing Lapis’ reaction again. Garnet reached her hand out of the water, the one containing Ruby’s gem in her palm. The fusion presented it to the ocean gem proudly, “I was hoping you didn’t mind.”
Her body sank deeper into the water once she lowered her hand again, keeping the heat at the same level for Lapis’ sake, “And that’d you’d relax.”

As the day came to an end, the sun glowed orange through the many windows of the beach house. Steven sat on the couch, in conversation with Connie through texting, taking goofy selfies back and forth. Being his turn, Steven held his phone away from him and pulled his lip down, crossing his eyes for the picture. He chuckled as he hit ‘send’, hoping that she’d find it funny.
When he heard someone enter the room, he looked up, setting his phone down. “Hey Garnet!” he greeted, waving to his guardian.
It felt like yesterday that Steven was only 13. To her, it could’ve been like last week. Now he was sitting on the couch, with a short beard and fully grown hair. Almost like his mother’s hair too.
“Hello, Steven” she greeted him back. Usually, her voice was so monotone, but she had a way with changing it up for her Steven. The fusion walked up next to him, roughed his hair and sat down beside him in a all leaned back position “Connie loved that picture.” Her arms stretched out over the couch’s back, smiling warmly at Steven.
ascending-ocean:
Lapis shrugged, slipping into the water until it came up to her chest. “tends to feel like it….” she sighed softly. she didnt even feel motivated to hate the gem. she jsut felt a dull sense of nuetrality. “it doesnt matter…” she sighed, closing her eyes and resting her head on the rocks.
Garnet let out a low hum, a bit annoyed maybe at the blue gem. The other gem wouldn’t mind if she resumed her bath. If she did, well, that’d be Lapis’ problem. This time, she entered the water slowly before changing into her previous clothing again. In case Lapis was peeking again.
Slowly but surely, the abilities from Ruby in Garnet, heated the water to a nice comfortable level. Maybe even a bit above that.
winged-gem:
“I was, but I sense another.” she said, turning to look around. A large dog-like creature came around the corner and looked at them, giving a vicious growl.
The fusion was taken aback by the beast’s appearance, even if she saw it coming. A large snout stuck out from behind the rock before its’ whole head stared them down. Immediately, Garnet summoned her gauntlets, preparing for battle.
ascending-ocean:
the blue gem turned her head, watching the fusion warily. they had a rocky history together…from the moment she was released till…now. Lapis would never trust the crystal gems. not after what they did….
“what? i cant stay knowing you know where i am…” she frowned and turned her gaze to teh water. “you…crystal gems re everywhere. you’ve always turned up, every time i’ve tried to find somewhere to stay you show up. granted….this is the first time you’ve caught me…”
“We’re not hunting you.” It was a fact. As long as she stayed out of trouble, she was free to do as she pleased. Garnet knew she would be a powerful ally. However, it would be impossible to force her into joining them, even if they wanted to.
Steven was crushed when his beach summer fun buddy rejected them all, leaving to live by herself. It was understandable to Garnet, “Relax for once.”
Random Character Question Time! -- What is your opinion on humanity as a whole? How do you deal with something you see in the future that's both unpleasant and unavoidable? Why were you so excited to see Steven had fused with Connie?
Garnet thought about these questions before they were asked.
“We’re here to protect them. Rose Quartz saw something special in them... Even if I don’t know what that is.”
She pauses.
“They’re okay.”
_
The second question troubled her, even though she knew that...
“If I’m there, it’s avoidable.”
_
It was a fantastic day for Garnet when she thought back to it.
“I believed in Steven and I knew he could fuse. Seeing how him and his friend Connie successfully fused brought me great joy.” Her voice was monotone, and relaxed, “Fusion is what I am and having another fusion with us makes me proud of Steven.”
The fusion shrugged
“I barely see Opal.”
Send "I dare you to kiss..." with a url/name and my muse will have to kiss that person on the lips.
ascending-ocean:
Lapis crossed her arms. “like i said. i was just staying here. its not as if i can build some establishment where ever i please. i take what i can get, and i liked this place.” she turned back to the water, walking towards the edge of the pool and sitting down, dipping her legs in the water. “besides…i didnt know you would have shown up here. if i did, i never would have stayed.”
she didnt have to explain herself to this…thi clod. happy to borrow peridots favorite term, she allowed a light smile to show…granted she was facing away from the other gem. “i dont care what you are here to do…jill be moving on soon now that you know im here.”
The fusion was there to get away from everything. Comparable to what Lapis was doing too. Lapis seemed to care very little for what happened, then again, she had been through a lot and it had a large impact on her.
“You don’t have to go anywhere” Garnet said in a soothing manner. Forcing her away wasn’t her intent. She made her way towards one of the larger rocks which concealed the tub, leaning up against it, “I was just having a bath.”
ascending-ocean:
Lapis huffed indignantly, leaning down and brushing the dust off her skirt. as Garnets weapons vanished, the water slowly sank back into the pool. “…fine…”
a light blush still dusting Lapis’s face, she crossed her arms and looked away. “no it wasnt to peek at you….i was just staying here. i thought it would have been a nice place near some water….quiet and uknown.” she kicked at a loose stone. “but clearly i was wrong about that…as soon s i hear you coming, i hid. im just tired of fighting!”
There had to be another reason for her to be there other than just... being there. If she hid something, it would be a difficult to get any information out of her, unless they befriended each other rapidly. Not like that was going to happen, “What are you here for then?”
Lapis hated the Crystal Gems. At least it didn’t seem otherwise. Steven had a good relationship with her, however, with the rest of them around, the ocean gem didn’t want to be associated with them.
“As I said, I’m not here to fight you.” The other gem had made mistakes, so had Garnet. She couldn’t blame her for them, and didn’t particularly hold any grudge against her either.
winged-gem:
Angel nodded, “Yes… I-I did know Rose… she was kind and a great leader.” she said softly. She tried not to get emotional about Rose since she had heard what had happened and it made her very sad.
Garnet caught what the other gem said before she was interrupted by sensing something. A real threat was coming, unsure exactly what it was however, “Are you alone?” The sensation only became stronger, making her scout the area around her.
