I have an idea, what about scar, impulse, or gem with like an s/o who doesnât like doing the back of their bases (that one grian episode) (it can be a full on fic or hcâs, whichever you wanna do moreâ
As much as I love Impulse and Scar, my Gem content is not nearly as much, so I chose her (also it's Gem, what more could I say?)
P.s requests are open and I am trying to get out at least 1 fic per month so feel free to request!
Finish It Together
Drabble
Contains: Fluff
-----------------
You sigh as you finish yet another chapter of your book, turning the page slowly.
You find yourself looking out of the barn doors, the sun still streaming in.
The animals wander in and out, grazing, looking curiously for any change in their environment.
Some even come lie around you now.
You've made a regular habit of reading in the barn, only because you want to read and like animals.. no other reason that you've been avoiding for the last week.
One of the chickens pecks at the corner of the book, reminding you to start reading again. It's not quite as peaceful as you might like it to be in the barn, nor is the bale of hay you sit on particular comfortable. In fact this book isn't even all that exciting, but you'd rather be doing this than try work up the motivation to finish the extension to your house.
You lower your gaze back to your book and start on the next chapter.
Somewhere outside you hear a commotion, the sheep remaining in the barn go to poke out their heads, listening in to the other sheep presumably making all the noise.
There is drama in the animals home, that you've learnt in your time here.
You know these animals well enough to know no one is hurt, so you don't even make the effort to lift your head from your book.
Sure enough the animals quiet down, even the chicken by your side stops trying to eat the book in your hand.
A shadow falls over you, one too tall to be sheep, and all the cows are in the other field.
You lift your gaze from the page and see a familiar set of overalls, attached to a familiar GeminiTay.
Her hands are set on her hips, eyebrow raised in question.
"You think I wouldn't find you hiding the barn? Rookie mistake." You see the smile hiding behind her stern look, the gleam in her eye telling you she's not entirely serious.
"I'm being productive, looking after the animals and reading. It's called multitasking." You smirk.
Gem nearly cracks a full smile, but manages to maintain her composure. She shifts her weight to lean more on one side, crossing her arms.
"I know where else you could multitask, at home." She extends her hand to you, pulling you forward to your feet.
"This is much more comfy than home." You say, sarcasm clear in your voice.
Gem hums in response.
"Come on, we can finish it today if we get going now. I know you're not really feeling it but once it's done it's done." She encourages.
"I know." You sigh. "I did promise you we'd get it done by the end of the week."
Gem nods, squeezing your hand.
"All we have to do is finish the painting, then that's it. Come finish it with me?" You nod, Gem finally breaking into that smile that you love so much, the smile that you fell for. "Let's go finish our home."
Hellooooooooooooo my friend Wom! Now if your requests are open (and if you want to write it) soooooo
I don't know if it was obvious or not but like, my favorite hermit is Gem (wow what a suprise i don't encorporate ger on my fics every chance i get). Anyways I sorta want like a burnt out Gem after her sea temple and BAM the reader is there. Although I don't know her boundaries so its like no implied relationship or like platonic (if you can I don't wanna force you)
ALSO DRINK WATER AND DID YOU EAT????
A Friend in Need; Platonic! C. Geminitay x Reader
Boop my friend!!! :-D
I have been hydrating and eating! I hope the same for you!Â
Sorry this took so long to get out but I hope you enjoy regardless! Gem is great <3
------
Y/n had never really liked being in the Nether.
They grit their teeth as they stepped out into the scarlet wasteland, tugging their golden helmet just a little bit tighter on their head. In the distance grunting from some Piglins could be heard, but thankfully no weeping. It sounded like the coast was clear. Without the quiet crying of any nearby ghasts, Y/n gulped down their fear and began their search.
Netherrack crunched beneath their boots as they walked between the makeshift corridors of portals. All were labeled with little maps, most of which hadnât been updated in months. Y/n looked in between the portals, noting purple passageways to Scarâs tree, Keralisâ modern house, even the End dimension. None were what they were looking for.
Off to the side stood a very narrow tunnel. Y/n stepped in front of it, peering inside. It got darker further in, seeming to go on forever, but Y/n knew better than to believe that. Theyâd been down this tunnel twice before, ages ago. At the end of it, they knew theyâd find a portal to Gem and Stressâ ocean monument.Â
Lighting a torch with some coal theyâd thought to bring with them, Y/n began their trek into the tunnel. They had to duck every now and then due to the low ceiling. Somewhere in the back of their mind, Y/n cursed the constructor of the passageway. Impulse, their dwarven friend, had apparently not assumed anyone else would be taking his tunnel, or else he may have thought to make it a bit taller. Y/n supposed that wasnât really his responsibility, however. Afterall, Impulse probably hadnât expected anyone to mooch off his tunnel for their own project.Â
Holding their torch steady before them, Y/n continued onward. Humming a tune to themself quietly, the adventurer thought about what theyâd say to Gem when they found her.Â
If they found her.
Y/n frowned and tried to keep negative thoughts out of their mind. They hadn't seen Gem in a week. It was unnatural! Gem was such a constant for Y/n. They could hardly remember what the Hermitcraft server had been like before her. It seemed whenever Y/n was lonely, Gem was just around the corner with plenty of spare time and a bright smile. When they couldnât get the coloring on a build quite right, Gem was always around to suggest new block combinations.Â
Sure they didn't see her every day, but they couldnât remember the last time they'd been apart from her, and no less for a week! Y/n had begun to worry.Â
They pulled their communicator out of their pocket, glancing over the messages theyâd sent her prior to their decision to find the redhead.Â
Y/n whispers to Geminitay: hey! havenât seen you in a lil bit, watcha been up to? :-)
Y/n whispers to Geminitay: just checkin in, are you doin ok? :-)
Y/n whispers to Geminitay: gem?
Biting their lip, Y/n stuffed the device back into its fabric-y cavern. The messages had been sent over the span of a few days, but still, they wondered if theyâd annoyed their friend by sending her so many in a row. Deep down Y/n knew Gem wouldnât be bothered by silly things like triple-texting, but her lack of response had left their mind to wanderâŠ
Y/n kept up with their quiet humming, picking up their pace when the violet swirls of their destination finally came into view. The portal stood intimidatingly before them, tucked into the walls of the tunnel, just a few yards off from a twin, which Y/n assumed would lead to Impulseâs raid farm. They ignored the further, carefully stepping through the one in front of them.
In an instant, Y/n found themself surrounded by tall, magenta-stained walls of glass. Fish and seagrass moved back and forth on the other side, giving Y/n the impression that they were standing in the middle of the worldâs largest aquarium, only they were the one stuck in a tank. Shaking their head at the idea, Y/n moved to the other side of the portal.
A massive structure stood before them, two funnels of glass leading down to an underground storage system. Guardians plummeted within the tubes, screeching as they met their demise. Y/n winced and looked away from them.
Curiously, their eyes traveled upwards. At the top of the glass funnels stood a small platform built of the same material. Just barely, Y/n could make out a pale figure and a pair of brown overalls. Breathing a sigh of relief at having finally located their missing friend, Y/n launched themself off of the floor with a rocket.
They spread their wings quickly, using the force of the explosive to propel themself into the air. They soared upward until they were above the platform, altering their path to float gracefully onto the glassy floor. Y/n looked down at Gem, tilting their head when the girl didn't acknowledge their presence. Kneeling down to get a closer look, Y/n noticed Gemâs eyes were closed, and her breathing was steady with sleep.Â
Making an âoâ shape with their mouth, Y/n lifted a hand to Gemâs shoulder. Surely it wasn't good for her to be sleeping on a tiny platform this high in the sky. A bed on ground level would be much safer.Â
They shook her as gently as they could, at ease when the ginger began to slowly blink her eyes open.Â
âY/n?â she asked with a yawn, covering her mouth with a trembling hand. Y/n frowned at her shakiness, taking note of the dark bags under Gemâs eyes. âWhat are you doing out here?â
âThe real question,â Y/n spoke softly in an attempt not to disturb their friend any further. â-is what are you doing up here? You shouldnât be asleep in such a dangerous spot!â They asked their friend with large eyes, unable to contain their concern.
Gem smiled apologetically at them, and Y/nâs heart plummeted. They hadn't meant to make it sound like they were upset with her. Before Gem could respond, Y/n spoke up again.Â
âI just want you to be safe.â
Gem nodded her head slowly, sleep still clearly on her mind. Y/n squeezed her shoulder reassuringly, making a move to stand back up. They held their hand out to Gem, looking down with gentle eyes.Â
âNow come on, letâs get you home.â
Gem accepted Y/nâs hand soon after, allowing herself to be pulled up onto her feet. The redhead couldnât help but lean into Y/n for support, too tired to stand up on her own. Y/n was happy to help Gem down the scaffolding that led up to her platform, eventually prompting their friend to just climb onto their back.Â
Gem did so without a second thought, wrapping her arms over Y/nâs shoulders and around their neck, like some kind of baby sloth. Y/n bit back their giggle at the idea, focusing instead on reaching the ground.Â
When the bottoms of their shoes touched the floor, Y/n walked the both of them back to the portal. Quietly, they heard Gem mumble something about ânot being finished.â They shook their head at the notion.Â
âHow do you expect to get anything else done when youâre falling asleep as we speak?â They teased, not missing the humph their friend made at their assessment of the situation. If Y/n could see her face right now, theyâd bet Gem was pouting.Â
A weight appeared on the back of Y/nâs head, and they realized that Gem had slumped against them, making herself even more comfortable. Y/n smiled to themself, walking the both of them through the portal.Â
âYou didn't answer any of my messages,â they announced, unsure if Gem was even awake enough to have heard them. They were surprised to hear a small sigh from the girl on their back.Â
âI meant to, but I kept getting distracted. Iâm sorry.â
Ducking down to avoid the sporadically low ceilings, Y/n shook their head at Gem.Â
âDonât be! I was just worried about you,â Y/n reassured, patting Gemâs knee from where it was draped over their hand. They heard Gem mumble something behind them, though they were unable to determine exactly what she said.Â
âYou donât have to push yourself so hard, you know.â Y/n said quietly, side stepping a misplaced block. Gem hummed into their back. Y/n was preparing themself for the rest of the walk home to be in silence when she replied.Â
âItâs just such a big project. I feel like if I don't get it done now, itâs never going to be finished.âÂ
Y/n mulled her sentences over in their head, trying to think of the best way to approach her confession. The stress of big projects and imaginary deadlines was nothing new to Y/n. It plagued every hermit. Anxieties about the large builds they made, wanting to get stuff done as quickly as possible so they could move on to their next big thing - it was far too common on the Hermitcraft server.Â
âProjects take time, but taking care of yourself is more important than any farm.â Y/n began, choosing their words carefully, looking up to the scarlet roof above them as though the right thing to say would be written on the ceiling.Â
âAnd you know Iâm always around to help when things start to get overwhelming. Iâd rather build a guardian farm with you for the rest of the season than never see you again because youâre too busy overworking yourself.â They finished, patting her knee reassuringly.Â
They could feel Gem bury herself further into the back of their neck, her quiet breaths tickling the back of their neck.Â
âThank you,â she mumbled into their skin, voice heavy with sleep. Y/n nodded their head, understanding that Gem needed the rest. Having completed their mission of locating their missing friend, Y/n allowed themself to feel at peace, walking them both the rest of the way home with a languid smile.Â
The reader had first came out to Gem, they had asked her if they can refer to them uses they/neos pronouns and Gem was happy to comply. They also told Gem that were Non binary and that they want to be their partner (they werenât even dating yet)
Gem was very happy to showcase the Reader around loudly proclaiming that they were their partner and if anyone misgenders them, she would kill them
So uuuh... lately all the writing I've been doing is Selfshipping stuff related to Steven Universe, So tomorrow I'll start making that content available on this blog. Tagged and everything and under Read Mores so I don't clutter anyone's dash.
And by tomorrow I mean, "When I wake up from sleeping"
Weâre still alive! Mostly....hard to tell after those last couple of episodes.
Here we go! - Mod Rose
Everyone who knows Pearl knows her favorite dances are the elegant and graceful ones. Ballet, waltz, anything where she can refine her movements and show off a little. You share the same passion, however your style isnât limited to that of ballroom and grace and youâll often lead Pearl in learning new dances, some being a slight reach out of her comfort zone. Somehow you know Amethyst would be proud.Â
Pearl knows the importance of coordination when it comes to partner dancing, thatâs why she always makes sure thereâs something matching with your outfits when preforming, even if its just for the other Crystal Gems. A crown of flowers, similar outfits or color schemes, or just a pair of two excited smiles.Â
Pearl is BIG into musicals. The theatrics, the thought put into every word and movement. She watches and sings along to the music. Somehow, she seems to know the choreography almost immediately, happily teaching you what she picked up so you can dance together.
Of course, it doesnât always need to be something extravagant. Some days everything weighs a little too much, secrets of the universe and the troubles that follow are too much to bear on her own. Sometimes its good to dance slow, arms wrapped around Pearlâs frame in a gentle and safe embrace, swaying back and forth to an imaginary sound until all is well again.Â
For human S/O: Although itâs nearly impossible for a gem to fuse with a human (there is of course being the exception of Steven), you feel as though you could fuse with Pearl all along. No, not in a physical amalgamation of your forms, but in the way your hearts connect when youâre together. Itâs not just the movement of your bodies that have synchronized, but something more. Deep down you know what you feel is something special; something warm, safe, and freeing.Â
For gem S/O: It takes a little bit for it to happen. Pearl has walls, understandably so. A lot can happen in a couple thousand years and sometimes itâs hard to push past it. But she trusts you, she knows you. The first time it happens you hardly realize it. Pearl spins and youâre both smiling wide. She twirls into your arms and lift her above your shoulders like in that dancing movie Steven was definitely too young to be watching. When she falls back into your embrace, you close your eyes and hold her close as light fills the room. You donât remember much of it, just an overwhelming feeling of being open and vulnerable but knowing you were safe. It was an incredible feeling, loving so beautifully and feeling it echo in your heart.Â
