Summary
Yellow was reminded, for a moment, of the Diamond that in old days had inspired awe and dread without even raising her voice above a whisper, who could send battalions of Rubies and Agates scampering in panic and adoration with just a lifted eyebrow, a twitch of a finger. It shook her to realize how much she longed to see that Blue, the one that had been swallowed up by this cloudy, watered-down version in front of her.

Summary
Pearl is a dance instructor raising her godson, Steven. She's never been much good at actively seeking new relationships (romantic or otherwise), and her neurotic tendencies and reserved nature don't make it easy to stumble into them by accident. It takes some convincing, but she makes the decision to step outside her comfort zone and into a ballroom dance class, which means working with a partner for the first time in years. This is where she meets Garnet, who easily waltzes past her insecurities and nerves in an effort to bring them closer. While some part of Pearl is cautiously optimistic and excited by the idea, she's not without her share of issues to work through before she can let herself be comfortable in a new relationship.
[Other characters cast in supporting roles; their appearances will vary. The rating is very likely to change in the future. I'm a little rusty, so feedback is always appreciated.]

Summary
Yellow Diamond has personally gotten Pearl detained for her ‘unlawful contact’ with Rose; our star-crossed lovers need a plan but Rose is in a guilt-induced panic and Pearl’s been hit with a goddamn lightning bolt so
[p.s. goes by the theory that Rose’s realization/change of heart regarding humans was preceded by a similar realization regarding “low”/manufactured gems, partly facilitated by her relationship with Pearl.]
I don't know if I need to put a content warning on this but just...homeworld is an Orwellian dystopia, implied classist and police-state violence, poetic & mostly non-graphic descriptions of physical injury but of course that's subjective so I'll just warn you to be safe?
