Hey Mari, writing a letter or calling on the phone would be a good way to show Hero you hope he gets well WITHOUT exposing yourself to a germs. Perhaps you should consider that.

Mari: Great idea!

Soulmate AU/Fake Dating

I don’t read either so...

Favourite AU that isn’t a human AU

And that is why I don’t come up with prompts. I just noticed that everything I’ve recommended so far has been a human AU.

Title: Connieswap (series)

Authors: CoreyWW (AO3), br42 (AO3), Burdenking (AO3), MjStudioArts (AO3) @coreyww (Tumblr), @mjstudioarts (Tumblr), [Sorry, I don’t know the other two’s Tumblrs]

Fandom: Steven Universe

Pairings: Connverse, Lapidot, Doug/Priyanka, Gregrose (kind of, this Rose is human and named Rosemary)

Rating: G

Summary:  Connie Swap is an ongoing fanfic with Connie as the gem hybrid trying to live up to the expectations put on her by her guardians (Peridot, Lapis, and Jasper), her dad (Doug), and the long shadow cast by her mom (Citrine). Connie's adventure begins with Episode 1: Gem Glow and it quickly diverges from there.

Connie Swap draws inspiration from the show but it reinterprets as it goes: Connie is a very different protagonist than Steven and these are very different Crystal Gems. Each episode contains original art and several contain original songs (recorded and lyrics).

Why I Rec This Fic: It’s so interesting to me seeing this universe. Often times in momswaps I noticed that the Gems are kind of just name swaps. Of course the personalities do differ a bit but their roles are the same as the Crystal Gems. I’m really enjoying how they all have a different history and the origins are completely different and everything. Learning more about their pasts is something I look forward to.

I’m also liking seeing Connie in the role of the magical protagonist. She’s so different from Steven and that’s great. She’s a lot more analytical just like she is on the show. 

I wish I could say more but a) I’m a story behind due to crazyness in my life, and b) I don’t want to give too much away since this is so different and interesting.

Additional Notes: @connieswap is the Tumblr to follow purely for this AU

The Grieving Process by CoreyWW

Rating: T

Summary: One week ago, Steven was born ... and Rose died.

Greg tries his best to care for the newborn Steven despite his grief but, honestly, he feels his pain is nothing compared to how the Gems are feeling in Rose's absence. Garnet has defused, Pearl has disappeared, and Amethyst ... well, nobody seems to even want to SAY what Amethyst is doing ...

Can they learn to carry on without Rose ... or will they let their loss consume them?

Comments: If you are looking for a really good drama, THIS is it. Bring the tissues for this one, and prepare yourself for an excellently written tale!

Fluff the angst: Yellow Pearl is in trouble

Pink. All the clothes were pink.

They were supposed to be white.

Pearl didn’t understand.

She’d been forewarned about this issue. She’d read the instruction manual carefully-- as if such a basic, barbaric machine required one-- but she’d read it nonetheless. She had known that the clothes had to be properly sorted by color before being washed, and she’d done it so carefully, so methodically--

-- but somehow the white had still come out pink.

If it wouldn’t be completely unbecoming, Pearl could of screamed.

“Hey,” a voice said. “Need a hand?”

“No,” Pearl snapped. She did not need help. Least of all from a human.

She began pulling the soggy, stained clothes from out of the washing machine, trying not to shudder from the texture. The human did not go away. When finally Pearl looked up, she found the human staring at her, hands on hips, one eyebrow raised.

“You really look like you could use some help.”

“Fine,” said Pearl, if only to get her to go away.

Because of course she needed help. Pearl needed help with everything on Earth. Why should this be any different?

The chore went quicker with the human’s assistance, and soon all the (pink) clothes had been transferred to one of the driers on the other side of the laundromat. Before they closed the drier door, the human pulled out a frilly red garment from the pile. “Aha! I think I found our culprit.”

“I did not put that in there!” Pearl protested.

The human shrugged. “Someone must’ve left it in there by mistake.”

“How incompetent,” Pearl muttered. “And inconsiderate.”

“People can be jerks,” the human said, and Pearl could not help but nod in agreement.

The task was done. But still, the human did not leave.

Pearl wished she could leave. But until the clothes were dry, she could not.

“First time with laundry?” the human asked.

“Yes,” said Pearl.

“It can be tough,” the human agreed. “I was always used to my Gunga doing it.”

Pearl did not know what a ‘gunga’ was, and was not about to ask.

And the human started chattering on. About-- things. Ridiculous human things. ‘Moving out’ and ‘part time jobs’ and ‘needing space’ and it was banal and annoying and distracting--

“-- and I told Daddy, I know it’ll be cheaper to live at home, but I don’t want to deliver pizza for my whole life, so now I’m working at this music store--”

“Why did you help me?” Pearl asked suddenly.

It shut the human up for a moment. She blinked. “Cuz I wanted to? Also, like, there’s not anything else to do but browse my phone, so why not?”

Pearl stared at her.

You never just helped someone because ‘you wanted to’. There was always a reason. An agenda. An expectation that you’d be paid back.

“Hey, look,” the human said. “You’re related to Steven Universe, yeah?”

“I live with him, yes,” Pearl admitted, not understanding the sudden shift in topic.

The human snapped. “Thought so! You’re like, the spitting image of his-- parent, I guess? Pearl, I think her name is.”

“I’m aware.”

“So look. Name’s Jenny. I’m a friend of Steven. So I wasn’t just gonna leave ya there.”

Pearl could understand this. If this Jenny was in an alliance with Steven Universe, then aiding her was merely maintaining that alliance.

“So, hey, why’re you here, if ya don’t mind me asking?” said the human Jenny. “Doesn’t Steven have a washing machine at his place?”

“Yes. It is broken. I offered to clean his clothes while it was being repaired.”

She had offered, because she had wanted to be helpful. To actually do something. And she had failed. Such a basic task, and she couldn’t even do that. 

Failed.

What would the other Pearl think of her? What would Steven? He would be so upset, he’d probably yell-- he’d never trust her again, perhaps he’d even punish her, it would be within his rights--

A Pearl should not let her fears and uncertainties show. But evidently she’d failed at that too, because the human reached out and put a hand on her shoulder. Pearl barely stopped herself flinching away.

“Hey,” Jenny said, soft. “Look. So the underwear is pink. Big deal. Steven loves pink. Also, he’s like, the nicest person I know. It’s going to be just fine.”

Pearl took a moment to collect herself.

She reflected over the human’s words.

She was, perhaps, right. Steven Universe was not like any other Gem. He was...

... nice.

Very slowly, Pearl nodded.

“I appreciate your assistance,” she said.

The human Jenny waved a hand. “Don’t even worry about it.”

Pearl + Sapphire, "Foregone Conclusion"

FIC I WON’T WRITE MEME: Send me a ship and a fic title, and I’ll post a summary of a fic with that title that I will NOT write. ) 

Summary: “The rebels will be captured,” predicts Sapphire. “The rebellion ends here.”

And it came to pass.

As it should.

(this pains me)

Hey Sunny, you gotta distract Kel or have him chill out or something; his anxiety probably isn’t helping Hero get the rest he needs.

Kel: But -

Sunny: No. Stress is bad for the baby (Hero.)

Kel: Hngh.....
