Summary
Sometimes, when you look at yourself in the mirror, you can't help but wonder "Why am I here?"
You knew your mom wasn't in love with whoever your dad was.
And you knew she gave up everything-her friends, her physical form, everything she truly cared about-to have you. But...why? She was everything you could never manage to be, confident, strong, friendly, perfect, and to top it all off, she would never stop until everyone around her was happen.
You're absolutely nothing like her, and everyone knows it.
Well, almost everyone knows. There's one person who doesn't know, or maybe he just doesn't care.
Steven Universe. Anytime you start to doubt your existence and yourself, he's always around, lifting you up and admiring you in ways you didn't know were possible.
You've been friends for your whole lives and he still admires you, somehow even more than before...
You can help but admire him more too. He means everything to you and more.

Summary
Meet Novaculite, a unique Gem. Nova is a powerful Gem, second only to the Diamonds. She was one of the earliest Gems created by White Diamond, and was granted authority and power by White as long as she stayed loyal and helped grow their empire. After a few millennium, Yellow and Blue Diamond were created, further expanding their authority. Novaculite, as Homeworld's premier weapons-maker and head of technological advances, helped them to spread even further, expanding their power past multiple star systems. Eventually, Pink Diamond was created, the smallest of the Diamonds.
After centuries of boredom and monotony, Nova decided she needed to observe her court from within, but in disguise. Whenever she has a moment to spare, Novaculite turns into a Pearl, going unnoticed as she moves among her Gems and learns about them. When Pink Diamond gets her own colony after eons of begging, Nova finds herself captivated by the Crystal Gems, becoming inspired by their message. Gems wanting to be more than what they were made to do? That's right up Nova's alley.
As Novaculite, she's against the war, as it threatens her authority. But as Pearl... Well, that's a different story.

Summary
“You’re trying to determine whether we’ve met before, but you can’t decide.”
Pearl’s face falls into a sheepish grin as she’s roused from her thoughts. “I suppose I used to try harder to hide my feelings.”
“You could just ask.”
“And validate the Homeworld propaganda that Pearls are indistinguishable from each other?” She smiles in a peace offering of levity.
But the other Gem’s expression remains steely, and when she responds, her voice is deadpan. “Yes, that would run contrary to your whole mythos, wouldn’t it?”
“My mythos?”
“Oh, yes. The Renegade Pearl. You’re a mythic figure. Surely you know that.” There’s no compliment in the Gem’s voice.
When a group of Pearls arrives on the newly independent Planet of Earth, Pearl is forced to reckon with the stories others have told about her.

"Why would you…" Bismuth stares at him, then the gems, then him again. She still hasn't picked herself up off of the floor yet, still hasn't moved an inch since she saw them. Her gaze lowers back to Steven, and freezes on him again. "Why would you let me out? I tried to shatter you."
Steven can't help but smile a little then. "What, like you're the only one?" | Post-IARQ (I Am Rose Quartz.)
