Steven Universe AU

*main team is steven, peridot, lapis, bismuth (to nobodys surprise)
* peridot, like amethyst, emerged late and was left behind by her squadron and never got any limb enhancers
* bismuth is functionally the same except she never got bubbled
* lapis takes a similar role to sapphire, being a high ranking member of blue diamond's court. she was terraforming earth and realised there was sentient life there when she separated a young child from its parents (maybe killed the parents in her terraforming?). joined rose's army around the same time as garnet in the main canon, has known bismuth since the war
* none of them are privy to rose being pink diamond
* except for jasper, who was pink diamond's sole confidant, being her most trusted warrior. she got bubbled and placed in lions mane. maybe after some incident leaving her semi corrputed like in the main series? not sure. definitely wanna give her corruption scars because those are hella cool
* maaaaaaaaaaybe jasper IS corrupted? she gets freed way earlier than in the main canon, and fills a similar role to centipeetle, being a corrupted gem that steven continuously tries to heal. i think they free her during the return/jailbreak as a last resort and she fuses with one of the homeworld gems to protect the crystal gems in a malachite-esque situation
*i like the idea of sapphire being the mirror gem because it gives the mirror a much cooler purpouse if it can see into the future, and sapphire could create an ice tower.- peridots big green hand ship is replaced by the rubys' seeing eye ship. one of the rubies on board is the ruby we know, and she and sapphire were engaged in a fusion relationship in secret. sapphire betrays the crystal gems and forms garnet, being the muscle of the homeworld squad like jasper was
* the corrupted jasper fuses with garnet like the malachite situation, which gives garnet some very conflicting ideas on fusion. this, in addition to sapphire being grateful to steven for rescuing her, causes garnet to unfuse frequently
* spinel oversees the ruby squad. shes like jasper in that she was loyal to pink diamond before she was shattered, and now follows yellow's orders and hates rose
* spinel resets all the rubies frequently, so our ruby only has a fleeting memory of sapphire
* amethyst takes on the role of both aquamarine and topaz. she uses her shapeshifting powers to pose as a human and kidnap them for the zoo. steven never gave the list of humans in this au so shes just gathering more humans. shes been doing this for a couple years now, across the world. probably has holly blue agate with her

* amethyst has a bit of a soft spot for humans tbh loves how silly they are and takes a fancy to their art and stuff, much to holly blue's dismay. lowkey inspired by castiel for this aspect but shush
* aquamarine is sent to earth instead of the ruby squad. hit the diamond happens with her and the rejuvenated ruby squad minus our own one.
* pearl takes the role of spinel. she WAS the pearl we knew, until pink started pleading for yellow and blue to leave earth be, and they took away pearl as both a punishment, and out of fear that she'd break this one too. they poof and bubble her and shes kept on some other planet with other bubbled gems
* after change your mind, the gems are unbubbled. pearl finds out everything that happened and goes a bit mad
* spinel already has a rejuvenator so i dunno what pearl's deal would be... a whole bunch of holo pearls maybe? i dunno
* dont know much about how the diamonds would be in this au... i think we probably see blue first
* save for white, they have their steven universe future powers instead of their old ones, and they're just as deadly. yellow can make any gem grow in size as well as shoot lightning, and blue inflicts her rage upon her subordinates.
* blues definitely a lot angrier in this au. yellow, being more calculated, has to keep her in check most of the time.
*connie replaces lars of the stars
