Ships everywhere!

Hi there! You can call me T, and I'm an aspiring writer who wanted to write some Steven Universe fanfictions. I'll probably end up writing for pretty much any ship I'm asked to, besides Pewey and /Reader. Any other ships are fair game though! Feel free to ask questions if you aren't sure! NSFW does come up, but it will be properly tagged!

    Ao3!


    Pearl carefully sat down with the bowl and rags next to the heat lamp, and Peridot followed carefully with the basket of her little ones. Streak was chirring again, loud and strong, while Byte and Smudge were quiet. The other two peridot gemlings were chirping softly, strong, but nowhere near as loud as their biggest sister. Pearl shifted the bowl, setting it down on the ground before taking a rag and dipping it in the warm water. The green gem couldn’t help staring as the other handed her the wet rag, dipping another in the water.

    “Pearl, what am I doing with this?” she asked cautiously, unsure of what the other gem had planned. A small sigh was her answer, and Pearl gave her a warm smile that seemed almost comforting. Was she trying to be nice? She couldn’t be sure, and raised a brow as the other carefully wrung the rag out.

    “You’re cleaning them off. I can show you how to do it, if you would like, but we need to get the membranes off of them before they dry. It can be damaging to their skin otherwise.” She swallowed and scooped up her biggest gemling, carefully handing Streak over to Pearl. She watched her start to carefully wipe the little one off, and watched as Streak started hissing and nipping at where she thought the hand was, though only biting air.

    “Do they always react like that?” she asked nervously, glancing to the other four for a moment before looking back to Pearl as she shrugged. Streak was soon clean and Pearl handed her back to Peridot.

    “Sometimes, but that depends on the gemlings, you know. Some are much calmer than others, while some are more likely to bite and nip. Don’t worry, however. Their teeth won’t come in for a year or so. That is determined by the gem type, and what they eat, but it’ll at least take a year,” Pearl hummed, scooping up Data and starting to clean her. Peridot listened to her, nodding as she set Streak in her lap. The towel that had been in the bottom of the basket would have to be changed before the clean gemlings were put back in. A thought occurred to her and she glanced at Pearl.

    “How do you know so much about gemlings, Pearl?” Starting on carefully wiping off Dottie, she watched the other freeze for a moment before starting to wipe off the gemling again. What was that about? She raised a brow and watched her swallow, before the other sighed.

    “I had some, once. It had been thousands of years ago, before the rebellion and before the gene had been removed. I was,” Pearl paused and seemed to hesitate as she rinsed out her rag. Peridot was about to tell her it was fine, and that she didn’t have to tell her, before she watched her take a deep breath and restart her sentence. “I was made to carry geodes, actually, along with caring for them once they had hatched. My own are long gone by now, I’m sure, but I still retained the knowledge for caring for gemlings.”

    Peridot fell silent, though she felt as if she should have said something. What could she say though? She carefully put Dottie next to Streak, and deposited Data next to her sisters once Pearl handed her over. She was careful to pick up Smudge, wiping her off as Pearl started on cleaning off Byte. She wanted to say something, to comfort the other, but couldn’t think of a single thing to say that would comfort her. She was curious about the gemlings, but didn’t want to ask right now. It was obviously something very personal for Pearl, and Peridot wondered who had been the sire. Had it been a situation similar to her own? Or was it something more?

    The technician recalled the warmth coursing through her body and the way it had burned so deep. She remembered walking over to Jasper, panting as her body pushed her to be filled. It hadn’t been as intense the first time, but the second had been worse, almost as if she had magma flowing through her. Jasper hadn’t been stupid and had noticed the signs right away. Thinking back on it, Peridot wondered how many gemlings the other had sired before hers, and felt a pang of ache in her chest. Recollecting the way the orange had pushed her against the nearest surface and used her, she wondered if Jasper would even care the gemlings had made it as she rinsed out her own rag like she had seen Pearl do.

    After another rinse of the rags, the last two gemlings were clean and deposited back in her lap, and she looked to Pearl again, watching her seem to hang her head now that the little ones were clean. She took the basket from Peridot and took the towel out, wrapping the shells inside up as she did so. A new towel was placed at the bottom of the basket before it was handed back to the green gem and she slowly moved her clean gemlings into their basket. Fitting comfortably inside, the five little ones pressed closer together, and Peridot found herself smiling warmly at the sight. However, when she glanced up and found Pearl looking away with tears in her eyes, she frowned.

    “I’m sorry about your gemlings, Pearl. I had no idea that…”

    “No one does, Peridot. Their sire was the only other gem that had ever known about them here on Earth, and she’s gone now.”

    “Not even the rest of your team?” It seemed shocking to her that the other had spent thousands of years with the rest of the Crystal Gems, and yet she hadn’t told them she had once had gemlings of her own.

    “Especially not them. It would destroy Ruby to learn that I had been allowed to carry, that I’m certain of. Could you imagine going thousands of years with empty husks, knowing that never had a chance, while a friend of yours had been allowed to carry? I can’t imagine how they would react to learn my specific purpose in life was to do just that before the gene had been removed.”

    “I… I’ve never had a friend before, so I can’t say that I can begin to imagine it. Steven is probably the closest to a friend I’ve ever had, actually.”

    “Not even Jasper?”

    “She was an escort and an assigned mate. Nothing more. She didn’t even stick around to make sure I was okay. I… I don’t think she even cared.”

    “I’m sorry to hear,” Pearl murmured, putting a hand on her shoulder. Peridot found herself leaning into the touch, staring at her little ones. Byte seemed to shiver and Streak pulled her sister closer, tiny purrs emanating from the basket. They were still so small, so young, and Peridot wondered if she would ever see their sire again. Would Jasper even want to see the gemlings, or would she be more worried about getting home? Similar questions plagued her mind, and she sighed.

    “What else do I need to know now, Pearl?” She glanced at the other gem, and she gave her a warm smile. Could she count her as a friend too? She was much nicer to her than Jasper had ever been, and she wondered if maybe she could count Pearl without the other getting upset. After all, Pearl was here, helping her care for her little ones, while Jasper was fused with Lapis at the bottom of the ocean.

    “Now, it’s time to clothe and feed them. I’ll show you how to make the proper folded garment until they’re big enough to wear the human diapers.”

    “Thank you for all of this.”

    “It wasn’t a problem, Peridot. Not at all.”
