101* Mundane Things Spinel Does Now That She’s Redeemed by needforsuv
Fandoms: Steven Universe (Cartoon)
06 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
AKA: 101* Fun Things with Spinel and Friends
So now that Spinel has been redeemed (HURRAY), what does it all mean for her and her powers/abilities? Well here are a bunch of (perhaps stupid or silly) ideas of what she might use them for. (Basically, Drabbles and such with Spinel in them.)
*-Actual count of things may be more or less than 101, I will add when I have new ideas.
Posting one chapter per day if I have a backlog, or whenever (I write or think of something) if I don’t. So like E350tb’s 100 Words, but less strict on timing or word count, and focusing mostly on Spinel.

Summary
"It was just a dream," he tells himself, doing his best to will away all the "what if"s, "Mom was cruel, but she wouldn't do something like that."
He opens his eyes, afraid to face the reflected fear in Spinel's face, and stares out at the endless ocean.
Bismuth comes to mind.
Jasper comes to mind.
Every damn gem his mother had abandoned comes to mind.
"She wouldn't," he tries again, gazing at the world he can still see as cracked and broken and toxic, and he wonders, "Would she?"
Thousands upon thousands of miles away, a once-starry-eyed gem now stares at the endless sky with a tear-stained face and an upside-down gem.
A butterfly land on her shoulder.
She doesn't even twitch.

Summary
He thinks to tell the gems and, honestly, he probably should but he just doesn't want to worry them if it's nothing.
(Later, he'll scold himself because it's never nothing.)
He doesn't say anything and lets the image of a girl burning as the chemicals around her suck the life out of everything and everyone rest in the back of his mind to pop up every time he closes his eyes.
"It was just a dream," he reasons, "Mom was cruel sometimes, but never anything like that. She wouldn't."
As he gazes out the window at a world he can still remember as cracked and broken and toxic and he can't help but wonder, "Would she?"
Thousands of miles away, a little girl with a tear-stained face and an upside-down gem stares dead ahead, refusing to move even a muscle.

‘Marooned’, Alone, Waiting, Lost… then Found… by needforsuv for E350tb
Fandoms: Steven Universe (Cartoon)

Summary
Spinel never received any broadcasts, and it isn’t until a chance discovery by New Earth that things change and start to look up. But as with most things Rose, there’s the inevitable deep dive into chaos before the past is finally the past. Thankfully, she’s far from alone…
Set in the Marooned Together universe by E350tb (Story starts on the Island)
(More Hurt and Angst then my usual writing)During a routine scan of the warp network, Carl and Lenny find a previously unknown warp pad. When they warp there to check it out, they are surprised to find a pink gem waiting, alone, and covered in overgrown vines.
“Are you Pink Diamond?” She had asked, hopeful (even though they clearly weren’t).
They tried to get her to go, but she wouldn’t leave without the gem in question… So they call in Blue and Yellow Pearl to wait with her while they get Stevonnie and Lapis.
“We’ll wait with you,” The Pearls had said as they hugged her where she stood in the garden…
