Rose Moms AU
Creator:
ailixandrite2dot0 (AILiSeki)
Description:
AU where the three Rose Quartzes from SUF are the gems raising Steven.
Notes:
Since they all have the same name, each Rose has their own nickname in this AU:
Superfan Rose Quartz - Sunshine
Hippie Rose Quartz - Moonlight
Shy Rose Quartz - Dawn
Pink Diamond “Rose Quartz” - Star
What if instead of bismuth in lions mane it was og pearl
Thank you for the question!
This is a very good idea, and very close to what happens in the fic (spoiler: the gem in the bubble is our Pearl)
I suppose OG Pearl is Pink Pearl/Volleyball. I can see this working. Since Pink Pearl was probably already in White’s hands by the time the rebellion started, maybe White sent her to Earth (without being mind comtrolled) on the orders to watch Pink and notify White of anything out of line. Star supposed this was the case and she didn’t want to cause trouble for her old friend, but at the same time, she couldn’t let the plans of the rebellion and her involvement with it get to White. One day, Pink Pearl sees Pink shape-shifting into Star, the Rebelious Rose Quartz™️ and that’s when Star has no other choice but to bubble her, because she was under an order.
When Steven finds the bubble, everyone is surprised. It is a gem none of them know, and a Pearl, who was supposedly no threat to them. Then Pink Pearl reforms and they vaguely remember her being one of Pink Diamonds’ Pearls. Dawn would interrogate her and figure it out that she has a message for White Diamond, one that is probably dated by now, but anyway, there’s no way they are taking this Pearl to the Diamonds. Steven being Steven befriends her and finds a place for her to stay (the barn, probably). One day someone asks what the message was and Pink Pearl, who thought the rebels knew everything about their leader, reveals that Star was Pink Diamond.
This would work very well
Despite her unhealthy tendency to hide her feelings instead of dealing with them, Sunshine is the most mentally stable of the Rose Moms
Rose Moms AU Human AU
Star is a young woman who constantly has to insist that yes, Star Rose is her real name (it is after she legally changed it due to ressentments towards her family anyway), she is married to Greg and they have Steven. She also has three older daughters from her first marriage, they’re at least 10 years older than Steven, who will probably ressent their mother for how creative she got with their names. Amethyst is a friend of the girls who probably has a bunch of issues with her own family and secretly wishes she was a part of theirs. Pearl is Star’s ex from before she met Greg but after the divorce, she and the girls always got along well but one day without explaining anything Star just moved to another town and never told her daughters what happened between her and Pearl. Garnet (because she is in the original AU I just didn’t get to this part yet) is the friendly lesbian neighbor. The worst part of the kids’ lives is how Star keeps trying to intrude in their lives, become friends of their friends, etc
Star kept her surname after marrying Greg but she did consider changing it just so she could be Star Universe
Star wanted to tell the Rose Quartzes her true identity. She daydreamed about it many times. It was unfair to them that she pretended to be one of them, and if anyone in her rebel army deserved to know the truth it was them.
Star knew she never could tell them, for the same reason that she couldn't tell anyone else. To tell them she was the one they believed they were fighting would be to admit how powerless she was. Would any of them still fight with her if they knew what the fight was really about? Star doubted it.
She wanted the Rose Quartzes to know that she was the one who made them, so maybe she could ease their doubts and worries about not fitting well in the role they were made for. She wanted to tell them how proud she was of them for it. She wanted them to know that she loved them as they were.
But Star knew it was no use telling, because they couldn't care less for what their Diamond would think. They learned to embrace who they were, and to value their friends more than hierarchy.
(And that only made her prouder.)
But she saw that even in beings so new and inexperienced as them, the damages done by gem society's system ran deep. She saw it when Dawn insisted in risking her life for her, in the way Moonlight clearly blamed herself for the fear she felt in the battlefield, in the way Sunshine took so many chores for herself as if trying to compensate for something. Star could tell them as many times as she could that they didn't need to prove anything, that they didn't need to be what they were told they should be, that they didn't need to apologize for who they were. There was just so much that she could convince them of.
She knew she only made things worse. They looked at her, a supposed Rose Quartz that was supposedly perfect, and saw her as some ideal of what they should be. Star hated the image that was created of her. She wanted them to know she was flawed too, that she was a coward and a liar and that they were already much better than she was.
Star wanted to be honest with them. She wanted to be able to look them in the eye and stand by their side, truly, no myths pulling them apart. But she knew that they would never forgive her. The longer the war lasted, the stronger the feelings of everyone involved became. The faint resentment the three Rose Quartzes felt towards their creator turned into hatred, and Star could only watch.
She couldn't blame them. She hated Pink Diamond too, maybe just as much.
So, in the quiet moments between battles, Star would be quiet despite the ache of her bitter secret. Without her lie she would never be able to approach these gems, she would never be able to get to really know them. Pink Diamond would never fight by their side, or laugh with them, or listen to them as they talked about their passions, their feelings, their mundane day to day. But Star would, and she cherished every moment.
Rose Quartzes aren’t Rubies. At some point one of the non-rebel Rose Quartzes noticed there was one too many of them on Earth, and gossip about it spread among them. They noticed this extra Rose Quartz seemed stronger and wiser than average, though no one could guess the reason why, and they got to calling her 0 or A00, as the regular Rose Quartzes are numbered from A01 on.
Hey guys, how about sending some asks about my fics?
Indigo AU questions can go to @indigodiamondau and Rose Moms AU questions can go to @rosemomsau and both + everything else can go here @ailixandrite2dot0
Even if you don’t read my fics (yet), just ask about a character or idk. This stuff really helps my creativity
Earth was annoying and everything in there was annoying. Now tied to some primitive type of barrier, Peridot had to rely on the rebel Quartzes for even a simple task like retrieving a tool, which was irritating her to no end.
"Rose Quartz!" She called.
The only one she couldn't possibly be referring to was the only one to react. The Steven looked at her in confusion.
"Peridot..."
"Rose Quartz!" She tried again.
Now the three Quartzes looked at her, with expressions varying from surprise to annoyance.
"The... you!" She pointed to one. "Chest gem! I need a leverage optimizer!"
The Rose Quartz with her gem on her chest walked to Peridot, looking down on her with a serious expression. Peridot asked herself if she shouldn't have called any other of them. The last thing she needed was to get a Quartz angry.
"No one has called me 'Rose Quartz' in over 5,000 years."
Peridot gulped.
"Moonlight, stop messing around!" The Steven exclaimed, apparently unable to read the metaphorical room.
The Rose Quartz stared at Peridot for a moment, then burst in laughter.
"Sorry, sorry." She handed the leverage optimizer to Peridot, who took it hesitantly. "Relax, greenie. We are not gonna hurt you."
History said otherwise. Peridot decided to say nothing and get back to work.
---
"Rose Quartz!"
The three Rose Quartzes looked at her with tired faces.
"Shoulder gem!" Peridot clarified. "Let me see these plans."
The Rose Quartz with her gem on her shoulder signaled for the Steven to untie Peridot from the barrier.
"You can just use our names, you know." The Rose Quartz said as Peridot studied the plans on the blackboard.
"None of you has said your proper designation yet," Peridot grumbled. She straightened her back and turned to her. "Maybe we should do it from the start. I am Peridot Facet 2F5L Cut 5XG."
The Quartz smiled at her. "Nice to meet you. I am Sunshine."
"No, you are not!" Peridot exclaimed. "You are a Rose Quartz!"
The Quartz nodded. "I am a Rose Quartz, and my name is Sunshine."
"This makes no sense! What is your facet? What is your cut?"
"Forgot them." She said, but it was clear that she was just saying it to irritate Peridot. "What does it matter, anyway? I prefer Sunshine."
"You don't get to have a preference on *who you are*."
"Yes, I do."
With those words, she left to check on Chest Gem.
---
The more time Peridot spent on Earth, the better she understood why the production of Rose Quartzes stopped after just one try. If the three (or four?) gems Peridot met were a good sample, then they were certainly all defectives.
Abdomen Gem had taken the Steven to a broken Earth vehicle so he could have his sleep cycle, one of the requirements of the hybrid's mostly human body. Instead of continuing working, Shoulder Gem and Chest Gem were also resting and engaging in idle conversation.
Peridot used the chance to check the plans once again, this time without Shoulder Gem annoying her. She was startled by a shadow behind her. Apparently, Abdomen Gem was back.
"You can take a break too if you want." The Rose Quartz said.
"I would rather keep working."
"If we follow the schedule Sunshine made, we will finish the drill in time. You can work overtime if you want to, but you don't *have* to. You're not on Homeworld."
As if Peridot could forget it even for a minute. She nodded.
"Well, the choice is yours, Peridot Facet 2F5L Cut 5XG." She said, gently patting Peridot's back.
Peridot felt herself blush. She didn't expect any of the rebels to remember her proper designation. "Wait, Rose Q-"
Abdomen Gem turned to her with a smile. "Rose Quartz Facet 5 Cut A12. But I really prefer Dawn."
"I don't get it. These 'names' and rest cycles... are you trying to mimic the natives? Why?"
"Not really. The natives have some interesting ideas that we borrow, but we are really just trying to live in the best way we can. Most of the rebellion was about becoming more than what Homeworld allowed us to be. I know you don't share our ideas, but you may understand that for us, our 'proper designations' seem to be gems we aren't anymore."
Peridot listened quietly. She had no personal experience to draw from, but imagining a hypothetical scenario... yeah, she could understand.
"I doubt one of these three won't give you a nickname in the next days we work together. If it makes you uncomfortable, just let them know, P- is just Peridot alright?"
Peridot nodded. "Thank you, Dawn."
Hey!
There’s probably no one here yet as I still have to introduce this account in the fics themselves. But anyway, let’s get this started!
I will post here some comments from my writing process, some inside jokes, even a few edits like that one of Dawn’s CG outfit. You can send me questions about anything you would like to know about the story, there is a lot of lore that may not make it to the fics. You can also ask questions to the characters I guess. Or send me a prompt. It’s up to you and what you want to do and learn about this AU!
An AU where Steven is raised by the three Rose Quartz gems from Rose Buds.
Heheh
Rose Moms AU
Rose Moms AU Volleyball:
Volleyball: How do I make it stop hurting?
Pearl: I am still trying to find out myself
Rose Moms!Amethyst is a force of chaos
But right now it’s time to switch AUs and write my current fav (temporarily) titled story:
Andy: You hippies!
Moonlight: What’s wrong with being hippies?
Tentative design for Dawn/Shy Rose Quartz in the Rose Moms AU
This would be her outfit for s1. The star gets smaller in her next regenerations (in an intended parallel to Pearl’s hair becoming less pink in canon)
Just today I realized that the Rose Moms AU definitely needs a Rose Buds equivalent episode because my Rose babies need to meet the other Rose babies!
Comedy spin-off of the Rose Moms AU in which Star is still around and she is the most embarassing mother ever
