I will gladly explain! This is going to be kind of long if you want to full story, so for now, I’m going to try to keep it short. The AU takes place in the future on a planet named Taerrie, a sort of mixed colony- for lack of a better explanatory word- between gems and humans!
As of right now, it’s sort of reader-driven, following the lives of the gems we all know and love, their little ones, and the humans alongside them as they deal with the shutdown of a major company that provided most of the jobs for the city they lived in! While the characters have to deal with this, something dark is bubbling beneath the surface that has yet to be revealed!
Most of the stories so far have taken place before the real story begins, as it really kicks off with Anniversaries. The others have been worldbuilding, exploring the pasts of the characters, and giving you a glance of how things were before. I hope that answered your questions, but if not, please let me know! I surely don’t want you confused!
