While reading your fics, I thought of how interesting it would be for Lapis' gemlings to see the horrors of the ocean. Because lets be honest, even the cute things like dolphins would probably kill you for fun, and you have all this almost otherworldly stuff down there. Plus the certain horror joy if the gemlings first started mastering shapeshifting. Just like 'ok which Rainbow fish is ours oops accidently switched the gemlings why are they all blue!'

In the >Be… AU, the gems can’t shapeshift. They’re more organic, and that’s actually going to be explained at some point in the stories! All the stories I’ve wrote for it have been pre-Steven so far! However, I will say that there is going to be a mixed review for the large body of water from the Lapidot kids!
