It's the side-story to Gem Ascension between Parts 2 and 3.
This is the current story I’m working on. 8 chapters total, I’ve finished 6, and I’m a little over the 3k mark on 7. Probably would’ve gotten farther but then the deletion of my tumblr happened and that just killed my brain for the rest of the day. And 3k might not mean much since this is the Lapis chapter, and I anticipate both that and the Steven chapter to be ungodly huge.
Also, I made this for the cover of the ff.net version. I made it before the season 5 finale aired, otherwise I would’ve used the actual new outfits in this.
For what it’s worth, in-story, everybody who got an outfit upgrade in the show has it in the story by this point... save for Peridot. But she’ll probably have it early on in Part 3. She does have a busted visor now...
