i want a lesbian phantom of the opera sooooo bad the only problem with it is that 3/4ths of the steven universe queers would have an absolute fucking meltdown if the story is not defanged to the point of being unrecognizable
but going "and they were both girls 😳" could contribute sooooo much to the character of the phantom by adding a layer of being a "deformed" woman in the 1800s AND a dirty queer on top of that and then seeing christine be the sort of demure sweet submissive girl, perfectly encompassing the ideal for a woman of the time (what the phantom was supposed to be) and just struggling with this conflicting sense of jealousy, disdain and lust
and the other way around too! the whole "christine being corrupted publicly" theme of Point Of No Return would get such an interesting new angle if her corruption wasn't "woman gets seduced on stage (and the audience has no idea what her backstory with the phantom is, thus the only part of it being shocking to them is that hes Ugly)" but INSTEAD was "woman gets seduced on stage, oh god, oh shes removing the mask this is getting spicy, oh god is that ANOTHER WOMAN? SEDUCING OUR MADONNA?"
would it be a healthier romance or story? god no. it is imperative that what christine feels is still just lust, because PotO is not a love story, it's a story about fucked up sewer dweller Christian Grey sleeping with and trying to kidnap the woman theyve groomed since childhood and it needs to stay that way. millions of people would lose their minds over whoever created this hypothetical version being a homophobe for portraying a lesbian as fucked up or something. dozens of vice articles would be written about it
but god what a fun premise

do not chastise the dove (22) ✧ steven grant, marc spector, jake lockley
do not chastise the dove ✧ a royal moon knight au | ao3 | pinterest board
pairing: knight!steven grant x fem!princess!reader x knight!marc spector x knight!jake lockley
series summary: you were a princess who would rather be anything but a royal; he was the knight her father forced her to marry—a true match made in hell if there ever was one. but, as the wedding inches closer and closer, it seems that, perhaps, your father had finally done something right by you.
chapter summary: you escape death and you embrace love.
word count: 3,553
warnings?: fluff, an assassination attempt is thwarted, you get married, pet name (dove), not proofread
“Now, I know that most of your energy is being focused on planning the coronation, but I have to ask: When can we expect the wedding?” Karen asked.
Marc looked at you, a rare smile taking over his face. “We haven’t nailed anything down quite yet.”
“We’re considering a private ceremony with just close friends and family. If we do that, we’ll probably have that ceremony before the coronation,” you said. “After the coronation, we’ll have a larger, more public ceremony.”
Christine Everhart’s face filled the screen as she rolled her eyes, pretending to gag. “Can you believe that? He’s trying to deprive us of the Queen’s wedding! I just know it was his idea.”
Chess Roberts nodded in agreement. “The Queen always loved the public engagements. There’s no way that she would have agreed to a private ceremony unless he forced it on her.”
“I bet he was the one who made her do the interview anyways. He’s just trying to save face, because the whole kingdom sees him for the lia—”
The TV screen suddenly turned black. You looked over your shoulder, seeing Marc hold the remote. His face was tinted red, his jaw clenched. You stood up, bundling your robe closer to your body, retying the knot that had loosened when you sat. Marc’s breathing steadied as you crossed the room over to him.
You raised your hand, caressing his face. His skin was warm. Marc leaned into your touch, his eyes fluttering shut. “They don’t know what they’re saying. They’re paid to gossip and lie and misconstrue the truth so that people tune in and listen to their bullshit. There’s a reason they cut off the interview right before I said that the private ceremony was my idea. It doesn’t fit into the false reality they’re trying to construct.”
“I wish people could only watch the interview in full,” Marc muttered. “I hate when little clips get taken out of context.”
“It was a risk we both knew of,” you said. “If it means anything, I saw a lot more good than I did bad.”
Karen’s interview with you and Marc went live earlier that morning. As you had expected, a lot of people had a lot of opinions. Some good, some bad, a whole lot right in between. You tried to focus more on the good, though. It did you no good to look at the naysayers. They wouldn’t change your opinion, your feelings. You loved your fiancés. The kingdom didn’t need to understand that. The kingdom didn’t get to dictate that.
“Why don’t we go back to wedding planning, hm?” you asked. “I saw a tux in a magazine that I thought you boys would look nice in. I’m not too sure on the fabric, if it’s something you all would feel comfortable in, but I have some pull with the designer. If it isn’t what you like, I could ask him to change it a little. But we need to make the decision today so I can put in a rush order so it’s ready for the ceremony.”
Marc’s mouth lifted at the corners. “You’re too sweet, dove. The world doesn’t deserve you.”
“They don’t deserve you, either, my love.”
You gave Marc a kiss before slipping away to grab the binders and magazines you had been compiling. For the most part, everything for the wedding had been picked out and was nearly ready for the ceremony. The only things that were missing were your dress and your fiancé’s tuxedo. You hadn’t intended to leave them to the last minute, but…Well, nothing had looked quite right. Nothing looked quite like what you were looking for, even though you weren’t entirely sure what it was you wanted.
When you returned, Marc was sitting on the sofa, waiting for you. You joined him, taking a seat on his lap, balancing the various binders and magazines on your own lap.
“Looks like we got a lot to go through,” Marc teased.
“Oh, hush!” you said, giving his shoulder a gentle push. “I just wanted to have options. I want the wedding to be something we all love.”
“Honestly, dove, I don’t care what we pick out as long as I get to call you my wife by the end of the day.” Marc paused, then huffed out a laugh. “Jake agrees, but adds that he also expects a weeklong sex extravaganza afterwards.”
You laughed so hard you snorted. “Perhaps I shouldn’t leave Jake in charge of packing for the honeymoon like I had been planning to.”
“Only if you want to have no clothes and an assortment of toys,” Marc said.
“Well, now that doesn’t like such a horrible idea so long as he forgets all of your clothes, too.”
Marc’s face tinted pink. He looked away, busying himself by looking at one of the binders you’d brought out. He flipped to a page and paused. He lifted a hand, running a finger along the dress pictured. “…Are you still looking for a dress, dove?”
“I am.”
“What about this one?”
He turned the binder so it faced you. You didn’t understand it, but a feeling washed over you, a feeling you couldn’t quite identify. But it made tears prick at your eyes, your heart swell.
“It’s perfect. It’s…It’s everything I could want in a dress,” you said.
Marc smiled. “You would look beautiful in it, too. Truly fit for a Queen.”
You took the binder and held it closer to you so you could get a better look. You didn’t really think about what you were saying, but before you could stop yourself, you said, “I wish my mother wish could have met you. She would have loved all of you.”
Marc, who had an arm wrapped around you, reached and gave your hip a gentle squeeze. “She’d be proud of you, dove. She’d happy to see you do things that make you happy.”
“I wish she could have been here for this,” you said, the tears starting to overwhelm you. “When I was little and imagined of the day I would marry, I always thought she would be there. Then when she was gone…I didn’t consider what it would feel like for her to not be there. Not until now, really, to be honest.”
Marc was quiet for a moment. Then, he said, “This is more of the sappy sort of thing you’d hear from Steven, but…She will be there, because she lives in you. You keep her spirit alive, dove. Her kindness, her love…It shines through you.”
Your mouth quirked up in a smile. “God, she really would have loved you.”
You stared at your reflection in the mirror, reached down to smooth out the wrinkles in your black dress pants, before grabbing your blazer and putting it over your silky black top. You stared at the mirror, trying to decide if this was the best outfit to wear. Part of you, if you were being honest, wanted to spit in the face of Benjamin’s funeral. (And perhaps you might, when no one was looking.) But part of you knew that this was the last step to you achieving your peace. That if you just got through the day, drowned out the eulogies, and said goodbye to Benjamin for the final time…Well, you might just be alright. So you grit your teeth, slipped your feet into a pair of black pumps, and met Jake in the hallway.
Jake gave you a gentle smile when he saw you. He reached out his hand, taking your, rubbing his thumb on the top of your hand. “Hey, dove. You look beautiful.”
“You look quite handsome yourself, my love,” you said, admiring his black dress suit. “Media’s going to have a field day with your outfit.”
“Let them. They all already know who wears the pants in this relationship,” Jake teased. He gave you a quick wink, before his smile turned into a smirk.
“Naughty!” you laughed. “C’mon. We’re already about to be fashionably late.”
“Well, we have to make sure we tick off all the boxes that ensures people don’t focus on the actual funeral,” Jake said. “I think we’re doing a mighty fine job, if you ask me.”
“The next step is to publicly humiliate one of us.”
“I’ll take that one,” Jake said. “I already got the perfect fall planned.”
“Does it end with you accidentally flashing everyone? Because I think that would be a real treat for the whole kingdom.”
Jake let out a full belly laugh. “Now that would the icing on top, wouldn’t it?”
The happiness you felt with Jake, joking and teasing each other, soon wore off as the two of you got to the car, made your way towards the funeral. It was being held in an old cathedral in the center of the capitol. Worship services hadn’t occurred there for nearly half a century. Instead, the cathedral became more of a historical site, offering tours to the public and, on occasion, serving as the venue for royal weddings and funerals. Part of you wanted to spit in the face of traditions and dump Benjamin’s body in an unmarked grave. But, the larger part of you knew that this funeral was the perfect opportunity to say goodbye to your life as you knew it.
And what a way to do it. When you and Jake arrived at the cathedral, a sizable crowd had gathered. You wondered how many were there to pay their respects versus how many were there just because it was a royal event. Before you got out of the car, you took a deep breath, trying to steady your racing heart. Jake took your hand in his, giving it a squeeze.
“Ready, dove?”
“Ready, my love.”
Jake got out of the car first, then you followed. You avoided looking at the flashing cameras, keeping your gaze focused on the doors. Just one step, then another. Soon enough, you’ll be inside the doors. One step. One step. One step. The doors opened as you approached. The doormen sank into a bow as you ascended the steps. You offered them a smile as they rose before you passed through the threshold.
You caught Layla’s eye as you made your way to your seat. Her head nodded once, twice, three times. The plan was a go. Whoever it was that planned to kill you was in the building. Well, that was certainly reassuring.
Once you took your seat, everything seemed to fade. It was hard to focus on any one thing. You trusted your team to make sure everything went to plan, but you couldn’t stop wondering if you had missed something. It was irrational, of course. Yelena had been thorough in her investigation. There was no chance she would have forgotten something.
“Her Majesty, the Queen will now come to share a few words.”
Your head lifted. Shoot. You had forgotten about this part in your anxieties about the day. Jake gave your hand a squeeze, whispered to you that you would do well. You rose from your seat, walked up to the podium. You passed by Benjamin’s casket on the way. It was closed—that was the tradition for royal burials, to have the funeral be closed casket. But it was especially needed now. Yelena had conferred with the mortician, gotten pictures of his corpse. You’d seen enough to know it wasn’t a good idea to have his casket open.
You reached the podium, staring out at the crowd. The cathedral was filled with members of Parliaments, foreign dignitaries, and the like. A few approved journalists were in the front row. You already knew they would lose their minds at what you had to say.
“Thank you all for coming today,” you said. You examined the crowd, took a deep breath, and continued. “People say you shouldn’t speak ill of the dead, but no one ever stopped Benjamin when he spoke ill of his family, of his duties, of his responsibilities. His life was a stain on this family. I can’t say that I will miss him now that he’s gone. I don’t know if anyone really will. Benjamin, like most royals, thrived on a pristine public image. People who loved him only loved that image. They do not know the horror he was behind closed doors. Even I never realized how awful it was until I was free from him.”
You looked over at the casket. You swallowed hard. “Part of me feels like I should miss him. You know, the part of me that hears people talk about family is family, that you should love them even when they hurt you. But if there’s anything I’ve learned in recent months, it’s that the family you find can sometimes love you more than the family you were born to. I won’t miss Benjamin. I just won’t. Not when he’s robbed me of my peace for so many years. But now…Now, I’ll finally have my peace.”
“A shame it won’t last long.”
You felt the cool metal of the barrel of a gun pressed to the back of your skull. You felt the hot breath of the man behind you, the weight of his arm around your neck as he held you in a chokehold. You heard the gasps, the screams, the shouts. You saw Jake jump from his seat, shouting at the man behind you. You saw the journalists panicking, caught between concern for their safety and whether they should be focused on getting the story. You watched as Layla raised her radio to her mouth, whispering something to the other guards.
“No one will ever rob me of my peace again. I won’t let them.”
“You don’t have a choice, Your Highness,” he said, practically spat.
Your lip curled. You didn’t care for formalities. You never really did. But if the man planned to kill you, he could at least refer to you correctly. “It’s Your Majesty. The King you served is dead, at your own hands.”
“We had nothing to do with that.”
“Just because you say it, doesn’t make it true.”
A swarm of armed Moon Knights descended, surrounding you and the man. Guns were pointed in your direction, aimed at the man behind you. Frenchie stood in front of the Moon Knights, his own gun pointed at the man.
“Drop your weapon before anyone gets hurt,” Frenchie said.
“Well, that’s just the point, isn’t it? Why would I stop?”
You heard the click of the man’s weapon as he released the safety. You flinched. Frenchie fired his weapon. The weight on you dropped. You surged forward, was caught in Frenchie’s arms. He passed you to Jake, who had hurried to where you once stood. You refused to look back. You let Jake usher you away. As you were led out the cathedral, you saw the guards apprehending several people. Accomplices, perhaps? You were amazed by the amount of people who had come to kill you. But it was over now. Well, for the most part anyways.
There was still much to do. Statements would be given to the police. You would need Scott and Yelena’s help in drafting a public statement, too. You would probably take the next few days off, if you could. But as you looked up at Jake, you knew that it would be okay.
You would finally have your peace.
The days leading up to the wedding all blurred together. In between wedding preparations and official royal duties, you were dealing with the fallout of your assassination attempt at Benjamin’s funeral. There was a lot on your plate. If you were honest, it felt easy to collapse under the weight of it all. But knowing that you would soon be married to the loves of your life? It made it all worth it.
“You look beautiful, dove,” Layla said, leaning against the wall as your stylist put the finishing touches on your makeup.
You fought the urge to smile as the stylist swiped lipstick across your lips. When the stylist capped the tube, you said, “You think so? I worried the dress might be a bit much for a private ceremony.”
“No such thing as too much,” Layla said. She walked over to you, took your hands in hers. “You could never be too much, dove. The boys certainly could never think so. You could walk out there wearing a burlap sack or a dress made entirely from diamonds and they would still think you were the most beautiful woman they’ve ever seen.”
Your face grew warm. “You think so?”
“I know so. I mean, look at yourself, dove. You’re stunning.”
You looked in the mirror, took in your appearance. Your hair was loose, cascading long your back. The stylist had placed a star headpiece on you, the star falling down your hair. It matched well with your dress. It was a beautiful shimmery white with moon and star appliqués, the fabric fading into shimmering jewels as it came passed your chest. A long train-like cape fell passed your shoulders, draping around you. You felt beautiful.
“Is it time?”
“Each to get out there, huh?” Layla teased. She glanced at her watch. “By the time we get to the gardens, it’ll be close to time to start.”
“Then we shall go.”
Your heart thumped in your chest as you descended the stairs. Your palms felt sweaty. You fought the urge to chew on your lip and inadvertently ruin your makeup. (You had plenty of time to do that when you smothered your soon-to-be husbands with kisses.) You couldn’t believe this day was finally here. You couldn’t believe you were marrying the loves of your life.
When you reached the bottom of the stairs, Yelena was waiting for you.
“You look beautiful,” Yelena said as you came to stop in front of her. “Would look more beautiful if your dress had pockets, but beautiful nonetheless.”
You let out a laugh. “I’ll wear a dress with pockets for the public ceremony.”
“I’ll hold you to it,” she said. “Are you ready?”
“I’ve never been more ready for something in my entire life.”
Yelena smiled slightly before leading you and Layla out to the gardens. The three of you stopped just beyond the sights of all the guests. You could see Steven near the start of the aisle. Frenchie stood with him, seemingly giving Steven a pep talk. Though you didn’t have the best look of him, you couldn’t deny how handsome he looked in the grey dress suit you found for him.
“Did you get to talk to any of them earlier?” you asked Yelena. You knew Marc had been the most nervous for this. He still wasn’t accustomed to public displays of affection. The idea of professing his love in front of so many people scared him, even if he didn’t say anything to you.
“Marc is doing fine,” Yelena said. “He was fronting when the stylist was getting them ready. Steven was too antsy to sit still, and Jake kept wanting to sneak off to see you. But they’re all excited. They’re all anxious to see you.”
“Good, good,” you said. “You should go take your seat. Layla and I can handle it from here.”
Yelena nodded before walking over to her seat, pausing for a few seconds to say hello to Steven. As you waited for the ceremony to begin, you looked over at Layla. You still couldn’t believe she had agreed to walk you down the aisle. Honestly, you had felt a bit silly asking. You had thought, perhaps, you should’ve just asked Kieran, thought for a fleeting moment that Layla might laugh in your face and tell you to put the task on the one member of your biological family you had left. But, you still weren’t close enough to Kieran to feel comfortable with him. But Layla…She was family, through and through.
“Thank you for doing this,” you said to her.
“Stop thanking me, dove. You’re practically my sister. Honestly, I would have been offended if you didn’t ask me.”
“Still, it means a lot to me.”
“I know. It means a lot to me, too.”
In the gardens, you could hear the officiant direct everyone to rise. The music began to play. You watched as Frenchie walked Steven down the aisle, watched as Steven stood under the chuppah, waiting for you. Layla squeezed your hand, before walking you down the aisle.
When Steven saw you, his mouth fell open. You were pretty sure you could see the tears filling his eyes, even though you were too far away to be sure. He held one of his hands over his mouth as you got closer. God, could he be any sweeter?
“Good luck,” Layla said as she let you go.
You walked up to Steven, standing in front of the officiant and across from Steven. “You look quite handsome, my love.”
“And you look like a goddess, my dove.” Steven sniffled, reaching up, caressing your face. “I love you.”
“And I love you. Now let’s get married, yeah?”
“Let’s get married.”
And so the officiant began.
And so your marriage began.
And so peace felt so much more real.

3: The Overly Long, Frequently Interrupted Chapter (Part 1)
Date: c. 3-2016 - 10-11-2016 IDST, 3-3-2016 EST
Nalitie: *in her VR room, re-enacting Phantom with Mettaton* Oh yes, keep coming this way!!! *throws a fireball at Mettaton*
Cameras: *floating around the room*
Christine: *being Christine*
Dukermin: *coming*
Nalitie: *still Phantoming* *sees Dukermin* Oh hi Du--OH DANGIT. We were SO CLOSE! *sighs* That was, what, the eighteenth time we've done that scene? And this time I managed to not hit you guys with the fireballs! *sighs again* Hey, Mettaton, wanna just take a break? Dukermin and I have some business to attend to anyway.
Mettaton: I could go for a virtual coffee break. *leaves*
Nalitie: Great. *turns to Christine* Oh, and Christine? Mettaton and I have been talking... We feel as if you just aren't FEELING the character. Like you're not giving it your all.
Christine: *confused because she's playing herself*
Dukermin: Oookay then...
Nalitie: Yes. Chrstine, while I'm gone, I need you to work on it. We need you to BE Christine. *hears herself* I need to get out of the house... Dukermin, come with me. We've got stuff to do. We still need to hold Papyrus's Royal Royal Guard ceremony and Asgore and Toriel want to talk to us about the relocation and our ground rules and stuff (and I wanna see how things have been going with Sophia), and then we need to check on the Voltas and---
Dukermin: WE HAVE SO MUCH TO DO WOW
Nalitie: Yeah... Let's go back to Pluto, start with the meeting... *grabs Phantom Staff* I'm taking this with me. If I leave it here, Christine will probabably set my house on fire or kill Mettaton or something. *takes out a lunchbox portal* To Pluto?
Dukermin: Yeah
*TO PLUTO*'
Nalitie: Great well let us go to all of the meeting them. *skips away towards Asgore's castle*
Dukermin: *follows... always*
Nalitie: *into the castle to find Asgore*
Sophia: *talking with him and Toriel about therapy stuff*
Nalitie: *approaches*
Toriel: Oh... hello again. Dukermin, would you still like that recipe?
Dukermin: Oh... Um... Yeah... Yum *takes paper from her*
Nalitie: *to Dukermin* Great! I've been meaning to make Christine and Steven a dinner thing... Mind if I borrow that sometime?
Dukermin: Yeah... you can have it now *gives it to her* I'll uh... make it another time.
Nalitie: *takes it* And Undyne said she'd get Papyrus over to my house and they'd make spaghetti for it. Now, uh... We were gonna talk about... Relocation and Erscogan government and stuff... Right?
Dukermin: I guess... I never really know to be honest...
Nalitie: Hm. Well, I guess while we're here we might as well.
Dukermin: Well It's all you I have no clue what we are supposed to say.
Nalitie: Right. *back to Asgore and Toriel* So, uh... I wanted to discuss the whole... us moving you guys into our dimension and stuff. I had an idea for a kind of government situation, if you guys will hear it.
Asgore: All right...and uh... There are no hard feelings about... all that other stuff right?
Nalitie: Hm? You mean the whole... me dying, right?
Asgore: *nods*
Nalitie: Oh, yeah, no, don't worry about that. *shurgs* I'm used to it, and besides, I'm alive now. I wasn't even trying. I mean, I threw marshmallows at you. You rate very low on my murder scale, especially after the Overmother killed me in cold blood, turned me into lunch meat, and fed me to SAM. I'd say you rate... on a scale from one to ten.... around a.... 2?
Dukermin: Anyway...
Nalitie: Right, uh... I was thinking that, to avoid a whole... overwhelmingness of responsibility, we could share the love. And also assume that any time I talk about love, I mean the good kind, not the... murderous acronym LOVE. Anyway, that we would leave the leaders in charge of their own countries/planets and then Dukermin and I could just... monitor as an overarching government. You guys would have control of your planets, but we'd have the ability to intervene if, say, war was gonna break out between two planets of ours or something.
Toriel: That sounds like a great idea... *to Asgore* Don't you think so?
Asgore: It sounds okay to me.
Nalitie: Great! I also meant to ask... how are things going with Sophia? I mean... You two are standing in the same room without... biting each other's heads off, so that seems like a good sign.
Toriel: Sophia is a brilliant therapist. Me and Asgore haven't felt closer!
Nalitie: Great! And yeah, Sophia is the only therapist I know who doesn't use the Flashcard method and isn't from Treegrass Institutes. Oh yeah, um, we also wanted to ask for building rights here on Pluto. We're establishing a Lunchbox Portal transport network.
Asgore: That's fine.
Nalitie: Great! *hiccups once and notices that she's... a lot shorter than usual?*
Asgore&Toriel: *pretend not to notice*
Dukermin: Alrigtythen...
Nalitie: Weird, I didn't think that she'd even been... *hiccups again and de-ages into a 5 year old* Rooooossssseee.
Dukermin: I suppose we... should...
Nalitie: *continues de aging until she's just a baby*
Dukermin: ...Get you to the Overmother. *finds shopping cart randomly and puts baby Nalitie into it* *stuffs shopping cart into lunchbox to Coloria and follows*
Overmother: *meets them there* Oh, dear, I knew I should have cleaned up better... That's why you're here, isn't it? *fixes Nalitie* Well, at least you hadn't ingested any more. Otherwise you'd be nothing but a cell! *to Dukermin* I used her kitchen to make breakfast this morning, but I didn't realize I had some de-aging baby food residue on my hands...
Nalitie: What the heck is it with people and my kitchen? First you, and the other day I found numerous containers of snails and spaghetti in my fridge. Not to mention the fact that I found a cake in there too, and only realized it was HUMAN SOUL FLAVORED after Christine pointed it out. *to Dukermin* remind me to ask Christine about how she knew that later...
Dukermin: Will do...
Nalitie: Oh yeah! Um, do either of you have any post it notes? We need to appoint Papyrus to the Royal Royal Guard and I don't have materials to make an actual badge.
Overmother: *shakes her head*
Dukermin: *randomly has post-it notes bc why not* *gives one to Nalitie)
Nalitie: Great. *scribbles the name on it, but forgets the "a" in the second Royal* Crap. Uh... *draws an apostrophe there* It's Meriloftian. Back to Pluto we go!
Dukermin: *all of the lunch box travelling*
Nalitie: *climbs on that rock again* *blows into the conch to call an assembly*
All of the Plutoians: *come*
Nalitie: Citizens of Pluto! Um... Hi! Will Papyrus, previously of Snowdin, please step forward?
Papyrus: *steps forward*
Nalitie: We would like to appoint you to the position of the Head of the Royal Roy'L Guard. Do you accept?
Papyrus: I DO! It's an honor!
Nalitie: And as the Head of the Royal Roy'l Guard, do you promise to... uh... do whatever tasks we come up with?
Papyrus: OF COURSE!
Nalitie: Then I, Nalitie of Erscoga, under the power of the... uh... 917th Bluefire Eclipse, appoint you to this position. *sticks the post it note on his chest, then tapes it, glues it, and sprays it with waterproof spray* Uh... Enjoy, I guess?
Papyrus: *totally cherishing the badge post-it and goes back into the crowd to show everyone*
Nalitie: That's great... He can watch our kidnapee... Or whatever they'd be called. *back to crowd* Now, one more thing... So, the Overmother has taught me how to, I guess, merge with other people, to become one entity. It works fine between two humans or at least near humans... *grabs Dukermin, merges, then unmerges* As you can see... But... I was kinda wondering... if it was possible... for one of you *gestures to the crowd* to do so... SInce.... all of the different species and stuff.. And so I was wondering if... anyone would like to try it?
Asriel: I'll do it!
Nalitie: *perks up* Really? Okay... I don't really know how this will work but, uh, go stand over there... *gestures to a spot a little ways away* and uh... try to not resist mentally if you can? I guess?
Asriel: Alright *does so*
Nalitie: great, uh... *runs at him, jumps with a hug attack and attempts to merge* *succeEds and becomes... Asralitie?*
Asralitie: *in mostly Nalitie's voice* This... is... Huh... It feels.... weird. Like, more stable than usual. Or maybe it's because we aren't both mentally insane? *trying not to
panic* *of the mostly Nalitie side* woah hey calm down now you're giving ME anxiety... I just... let me check one more thing, and then I'll split... *tries to.... see? Feel? their SOUL(s?)* *notes that they're both separate, yet there's only one shared consciousness and one body* Great um... *splits back into Asriel and Nalitie*
Asriel: That was... SO COOL!
Nalitie: Heck yeah it was! I'll... experiment with that later... *now goes back to Asgore, dragging Dukermin with her* One more thing--now that you guys are here on Pluto... um... do you have any use for the human SOULs anymore?
Asgore: Well... none that I can think of.
Nalitie: Um... do you think I could... have them? There's something I feel the need to do....
Asgore: Um...
Toriel: *jumps in* Of course!
Nalitie: Thanks... Now, uh, I don't know where they are so.... *opens portal to the castle even though it's not that far away* Come with us?
AsgorenToriel: *follow*
Nalitie: *has dragged Dukermin with her* Now where....
*in the castle*
Toriel: It's this way. *leads*
Nalitie: *follows, but falls down the staircase and bounces off the wall into a room full of coffins* *lands on the one closest to the door, back at a 90 degree angle* *laughing that slowly turns to crying* DUKERMIN....
Dukermin: *helps her up* *gives her a baNd-aid*
Nalitie: *applies bandaid which somehow heals her even though all of her bones are probably broken* Thanks. At least there's no way this could affect me in the near future! *hiccups* Now, uh... right. SOULs.
%Asgore: The SOULs should still be contained in each of these coffins.
Nalitie: Coffin raiding... fun.... Um... *tries to take them in the least awkward way possible*
Dukermin: *summons soul-stealing baloons*
Nalitie: Great... *puts the SOULs in the baloons, then locks them in her pockets* Thanks... Um... We're going to go to Coloria now.... *opens portal* Dukermins first...
Dukermin: *is first*
Nalitie: *follows, then closes portal* Let's go find the Ovemrother. Shge has these weird empty bodies that she uses to make her Sam clones, and they're currently... well... you'll see what I'm doing... ROOOOSSSSEEE!
Overmother: *appears* Oh! Nalitie and....?
Dukermin: Dukermin.
Overmother: Ah, yes, Dukermin. What are you doing back?
Nalitie: I need to borrow *counts in her head* six of your Featureless... They don't have SOULs, right?
Overmother: I don't believe so? I thought you said the Featureless were "creepy as heck and should be burned at the stake"?
Nalitie: Welllll I need them now.
Overmother: *sighs and leads them to the room where the featureless are, then prepares 6 table beds for them*
Nalitie: great. *hands Dukermin 5 of the SOULs* The Fallen Humans are gonna be back. Probably. If this works... *pops one of the baloons, then merges with a Featureless, leaving the SOUL behind* *repeats with the rest* Now, uh, while we wait, wanna get some coffee? Coloria recently built a nice little coffee shop. I heard they're really great... And that's coming from Mettaton and not talking about something of his brand? Or maybe it's just because they serve Virtual Coffee but still. I could use some lunch.
Dukermin: I think we can trust Mettaton's judgement...
Nalitie: Great. It's right down the street here. *leads Dukermin there* *gets... um... some.... milk? And... um... a bowl of... chow chow relish? Because apparently they have that?*
Dukermin: *gets coffee like a normal person*
Nalitie: *also gets some chocolate and sits down at a table* We still have a lot to do... but, uh.. eh. *offers Dukermin some chocolate* want some?
Dukermin: *takes chocolate* Okay what then...?
Nalitie: Well, after the SOUL stuff... Um... Aeuton. The Voltas have been kinda mad at me lately, and we need them for the DunkelVision, so... *consumes her stuff* *hiccups again, then gets a funny look on her face*
Dukermin: You aren't going to shrink and de-age again are you...?
Nalitie: No, no, I just... um... we need to go back to the Featureless... There's something else I need to do...
Dukermin: Um okay.
Nalitie: *grabs whatever food she wants to keep and locks it in her pockets* *to the Featureless*
Dukermin: *follows as always*
Nalitie: *turns to Dukermin* OKay I have no idea how this happened and I really don't know if this will work, but before something weird happens I need to ask you of your opinion on Chara.
Dukermin: Creepy demon child...
Nalitie: And also what about outside of a genocide route? *hiccups some more and forces... something down*
Dukermin: Um... I don't know , I don't have any opinions outside of genocide.
Nalitie: Alright, that works, and if we all die you can blame me because this is not working *hiccups and this time comes out of the hiccup attack with a SOUL (which is obviously not hers) in her hand*
Dukermin: Wait wha- oh nevermind. I should start expecting this stuff.
Nalitie: Yeah. I'm gonna, uh... *deposits the SOUL into a Featureless* Now we... wait? Wanna go, um.... See Sam-whatever...?
Dukermin: Um not really but it seems more fun than waiting. Sam clones freak me out. Sam freaks me out too.
Nalitie: Actually this one isn't a clone. She is just a little bit... murdery... but the Overmother will protect us and also there is another Sam I want you to meet because I really like her. Platonically.
Dukermin: Okay...
Nalitie: *runs out the door to the Sam Hub*
Dukermin: *you know... follows*
Nalitie: *is standing next to an almost exact clone? of Sam and also a hyper-feminine Sam who... I don't know?* So, Sam-76 and Mara.... This is Dukermin.
Dukermin: Hello.
"Mara": *waves, somehow looking even more murdery than the original Sam*
Sam-76: *also waves, but looks.... Sorta nice?*
Dukermin: *Waves back, even though it seems odd... *
Nalitie: So, *gestures to Mara* this is actually Sam's intra-dimensional self, and in some lost timeline I vaguely remember Sam being completely terrified of her! So we could use that to our advantage maybe if we can get Sam to remember!
Dukermin:.,..Wait..... *suddenly connects the dots* Does that mean "Mara" is ... Is she Samara or are there more freaky people out in the world...?
Nalitie: Well there are, but yes, this is Samara! THe one who tried to take Sam's growing baby in the Lost Timeline!
Dukermin: I'm so glad I wasn't a part of this story...but okay hi.
Samara: *playing with some toys that she apparently has on her and makes death to the dolls*
Nalitie: Now that I think about it, I think I died in that timeline as well. Several times.
Sam-76: *staring into the distance at some lady who has been lurking this whole time*
Dukermin: *Follows gaze* Are we allowed to ignore that wierd lady...?
Nalitie: Huh? *looks* Oh, her... Uh... Hey, you know what? We should go check on the SOULS and the Featureless, yep, no time to waste, they could be exploding... *pushing Dukermin away*
Dukermin: NOPE *resists* Now I'm curious.
Lady: *just lurking and sort of glaring at Nalitie and Dukermin*
Dukermin: *calls to her* HELLO STRANGE CREEPY LADY! WHO ARE YOU?! AND WHY ARE YOU GLARING AT US?!
Nalitie: She doesn't like me.
Lady: *realizes she has been discovered and, um, flees*
Dukermin: Okay, you can give me a good reason to not follow her and alleviate my curiousity (if that grammar isnt completely screwed up) Or I will, you know, run after her.
Nalitie: We'll probably end up win some weird future where we've been completely absent, since Coloria runs on its own time. Or, ran on its own time.. Or maybe it's just the lady. I haven't figured it out.. She's weird and co-owns Treegrass.
Dukermin: Okay. All you needed to say is that she's a part of Treegrass. Let's go make sure no one has exploded.
Nalitie: Yeah... That would be bad, but I'm pretty sure there would have been screaming ANYWAY. *and now we go back again*
Dukermin: * and now I follow again, you know the drill*
Nalitie: *standing in the doorway happily* DUKERMIN IT worked they're all back and now we can alleviate guilt! Sort of! Not really maybe but a little!
Dukermin: So should we bring them to their families?
Nalitie: I... don't know their familiues? And also they've been dead for several years?
6 of the Fallen Humans: *milling about*
Dukermin: Well, what do we do with them....?
Nalitie: I don't know...? Because, I mean, what if their parents are dead?
Dukermin: We could sell their story to ABC and make money. Or maybe Fox...
Nalitie: Isn't their story already copyrighted?
Dukermin: ACCORDING TO "How to read Literature Like a Professor" Every story is A PART OF ONE BIG STORY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
Nalitie: O... kay? Well, for one, I do need them to help me with one of our Plutoians's guilt... *doing a head count* UGH STAND STIll.
Dukermin: Okay then we won't sell their story. At least not yet. I might do it on my own.
Nalitie: Eh, whatever. Hey, weren't there seven SOULs? Including the one I coughed up?:
Dukermin: Um probably, I don't count what comes out of your mouth...
Nalitie: *counts again* I think there were. There are only... 6 humans that I can count and that last one is... um... not visible right now? Or, uh, at least not that I can see from here.
Dukermin: Watching these panicking people is giving me a headache so dont count on any count from me...
Nalitie: Well, let's see... *pointing to each* That one is the owner of the aqua SOUL.... There's blue... green... yellow... orange... purple.... We're missing the one I coughed up. We're missing Chara.
Dukermin: WHY DID WE NOT CHAIN THAT ONE UP OR SOMETHING?
Nalitie: I DON'T KNOW I WAS BUSY COUGHING UP THEIR SOUL AND TRYING NOT TO CHOKE.
Dukermin: WELL WE'VE GOTTA FIND CHARA BEFORE ALL THAT WE;VE BUILT IS DESTROYED
Overmother: *pokes her head into the room of chaos* Chara, you say? About yea tall, short hair, oddly vibrant red eyes?
Dukermin: Um yeah WHY DO YOU KNOW WHERE...
Overmother: *points into the corner where Chara is*
Nalitie: I KNEW I SHOULD have brought a box to stand on...
Dukermin: Well then. We should actually isolate xir though until we know what to do with xir.
Nalitie: Yeah. Why don't we bring them all back to Pluto though? We're attracting the Sams. Also, if we really need to, we can put Chara into the box with Sans and Callie.
Dukermin: Would Sans and Callie be okay with that? Because I don't want Chara to be let loose on any planet.
Nalitie: I'm vsure... Callie, at least, would be okay with it? It was in her contract. Also, Callie. She's much more deadly than you think.
Dukermin: True... Sans will just have to deal with it. Let's go.
Nalitie: Yeah. *opens a lunchbox portal to Pluto and directs the confused Fallen Humans into it* *goes in herself, taking one small glance at the creepy lady who is hiding on the ceiling*
Dukermin: *Ignores her* *away to Pluto we go*
Nalitie: *has already directed Chara into the box, claiming it is for their safety and not because we suspect them of being a murderous demon child* I'm gonna, um, go get Asgore or something. You wait here and calm the humans. *goes off*
Dukermin: Um um um. Hello lovely falle humans...
Everyone: *looks at Dukermin*
Dukermin: You are all no longer dead! You are *slips into southern accent for whatever reason* in a safe place, and *pulls out pocket watch* *starts swinging it* And you will ALL BE HAPPY HERE and become the BEST of FRIENDS.
Everyone: *slightly confused and also have noticed they're on a planet full of monsters who have all probably tried to and/or succeeded in killing them*
Dukermin: *yells* HEY YOU ALL GET BACK HERE AND LISTEN TO MY SOOTHING VOICE!!!
Everyone: *stops freaking out and stares at Dukermin*
Callie: *looks over from her attempts at making conversation with her box-mates*
Dukermin: YOU WILL ALL BE HAPPY HERE AND BE FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE AND THAT'S THAT!!!
Nalitie: *has arrived* Yeah! *looks over to the box* You too, Callie and Chara. *turns back to Asgore and Toriel* SO I know your therapy is none of my business, but Sophia was telling me that you seemed guilty of something, and I realized that it was probably the deaths of these fine humans over here. And so I was thinking, 'hey, if they're not dead, you can't be guilty of their deaths' and so I brough them... back.... *notices the looks on some of the humans' faces*
Dukermin: *intrudes on conversation* Yeah and we couldn't have brought them back if you hadn't allowed us to have the SOULs.
Nalitie: Yeah! *whispers to Dukermin* we never thoight about the fact that these humans were killed by these monsters, did we? *gestures to the probably terror on the faces of the humans*
Dukermin: Hmm... how do we mediate this?
Nalitie: *opens her mouth to respondcd, but instead dashes to the right, where one of the humans is attacking someone because they probably think they're going to die again* *intercepts the blow (even though it wouldn't have done much)*
Dukermin: HUMANS AND MONSTERS umm... NO LONGER NEED TO LIVE IN FEAR OF EACH OTHER BECAUSE IT IS... AGAINST THE LAW. There. That will DEFINITELY fix it.
Nalitie: Yeah *looks at Chara* YOU TOO, CHARA. *tries to get up off of the human, but instead accidentally merges with them because that happens a lot with her*
Double Human: *totally freaking out now*
Papyrus: *is pulling a human off another monster* *is still wearing post-it note*
DUkermin: Now that there is a single law, kind of, we might need to appoint some more Royal Roy'l Guard members...
Double Human: *way too occupied with their freak out* *in Nalitie's voice* DUkermin! Heeelllp. I'm stuck and also they must have been through a neutral route and so now they're experiencing FLowey Flashbacks
Dukermin: How the heck did you manage to get stuck like that?
Double Human: *still in Nalitie's voice* I DONT KNOW but now they;re attacking me... Sam has done it before... WE NEED A CEILING AND OW.
Dukermin: Well where's the nearest stolen house? *looking around*
Double Human: I don't know but AUGH *is now totally crippled*
Dukermin: *pulls double human to Undyne's house*
Double HUman: *in Nalitie's voice* N-now we need more people to merge with... breaking through the ceiling will disrupt the instability past the point of stuck...
Undyne: WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE!?
Double Human: *internal attack again* AUGH DYING I THINK
Dukermin: Royal business *forces Undyne to merge with them*
Whatever they are now: *in mostly Nalitie's voice* Well, I feel less attacked, but I don't htink I can say the same for Undyne... We need more! To, you know, reach the ceiling... *gestures to the fact that they're still really short*
Dukermin: *Walks outside* *yells* WHO WANTS TO MEET UNDYNE!?
Umm 5 monster kids: *run in and accidentally merge*
Undidmans?: *less attacked and panicky* *stands up, but is still only the averaged heights between their parts* NOt helping yet...
Dukermin: * finds Papyrus* HEy I have a job for you run full speed into Undyne's house
Papyrus: *Does it without asking questions* *merges*
Undyridmans: Great! Uh... more height! *is sort of taller?*
Dukermin: *walks up to Asgore and Toriel* Hey ! You guys are nice people! I need you to go into that house and merge with those people WITHOUT ASKING QUESTIONS
Asgore: Of course, but why-
Dukermin: I SAID no questions.
Asgore&Toriel: *do so because theyre JUST SO nice*
Undyridomansiel: *in sort of Nalitie's voice* Ooh! Get the rest of the humans! And also main characters! And Callie! *still average height* *in a combined voice* WHY IS THIS CEILING SO FREAKING HIGH?!
Dukermin: *whines* But not Chara right?
Undyridomansiel: UM I DONt know that's up to you?
Dukermin: *Finds wheelbarrow* *pries one fallen human off of a monster and throws them into the wheelbarrow* *finds rest of humans and puts them into the barrel* *throws confused humans at Undyridomansiel *
Undyridomansiel: *sorta taller*
Hope and Christine: *appear from a portal*
Christine: Hello, Dukermin! I came to welcome our Plutoian... guests...? *notices the chaoes* Is this a bad time?
Dukermin: There IS NO TIME AT ALL MAYBE ACTUALLY I DONT KNOW BUT YOU SHOULD PLEASE GO INTO THAT HOUSE AND MERGE
Christine: Oh, did Nalitie get stuck again? *remembers Oristinas-Melapelaay-Mevanka-Hexrn-Masterine* We'll go. *brings Hope with her and does that*
Undyridomansiel: *turns into Undyroidomansinel?* *taller than average, but not yet to the ceiling*
Dukermin: *runs out to glass box and kidnaps Callie* *Merginess*
Undallyroidomansinel: *in one collective voice* Go get the other monsters.... Undyne's ceiling is really high and we need to be tall enough to break it...
Dukermin: *takes wheelbarrow again* *runs around kidnapping more monsters and throwing them at Undallyr-whatever* *Throws all monsters except Chara because no not dealing with xir* *throws self at Undallyr-etcetera*
Napstablook: *appears from wherever they were* oh...... did i miss something......
Whatever they are nw: No! Yes... Maybe? Come join us! *now has to crouch but needs even more instability* *merges with Napstablook to become Nukerman-Sapyriel-Mettyore-Asryne-Napstid-Chorine* *in Nalitie's voice* Ready everyone? Let's hope this works... How about... on three?
*Everyone agrees with themselves because merging is confusing*
Nukerman-Sapyriel-Mettyore-Asryne-Napstid-Chorine: Alright... One... Two... Three! *stands up and breaks trhough the ceiling*
*it's raining humans and monsters*
*damage is done to Undyne's house and her dialogue is censored*
Nalitie: *catches who she can with the Force, ignoring Undyne's rampage and deciding to apologize later... And also put up her own house's forcefield* *checks her to-do list* Hey, if we're gonna be putting Homestuck into the planet, wanna go get a dimensional box from Alphys?
Dukermin: Yeah.
Nalitie: TO The um wherever she is because everyone just fell everywhere... *YEAH THAT*
Dukermin: *suddenly does a flip over THERE*
Alphys: O-okay? Um, w-was there s-something you guys n-needed?
Dukermin: Yes actually... Do you have... A DIMENSION BOX?
Alphys: Um, y-yeah, I think I m-might have one in the lab...
Nalitie: GREAT! Because now we're gonna go trap a bunch o--
Dukermin: UM HEY NO
Nalitie: I mean, uh, we're making a prison inside one of the planets so we need a way to store the criminals... sure.
Dukermin: WHaT SHUT UP Actually, maybe that sounds alright...
Alphys: I-i'll just go get the b-box... *to the lab, which is half underground accidentally* *comes back with a Dimensional Box* H-here...
Dukermin: Why thank you.
Nalitie: And in compensation, um... *reaches into pocket* *gives Alphys, um, a... box SPLARGH* Here. It's very nutritious and can be used as a defensive weapon!
Alphys: T-thanks?
Nalitie: Well, Dukermin, what should we do now? We still need to get a Best Western, trap Flowey on Riewa, steal Homestuck, and... Oh, and bring stuff to Aeuton.
Dukermin: Let's go get a Best Western. These monsters have been homeless for too long...
Nalitie: Well, I know of a great Best Western over in Michigan, and that means we don't have to go to the Ask Erik universe.
Dukermin: PLUS DOCKSIDE WATERFALL INN
Nalitie: And it's a convention center! We can have one to, uh, celebrate the formation of Erscoga! *opens portal* TO MACKINAW CITY
Dukermin: *prophesies fire and destruction* *to Mackinaw City*
Nalitie: *standing in the middle of the street, causing traffic buildup* Woah...
Drivers: *whaaa?*
Dukermin: *appears* Ooh pretty
Nalitie: Should we just take the whole thing? We could put the Best Western on Pluto but the rest of the city onto Termata. THere's a candy store!
Dukermin: What about the citizens?
Nalitie: We could... uh............
Dukermin: *yells* Is EVERYONE HERE ALRIGHT WITH MOVING TO A NEW PLANET??!?
People: *looking strangely at the two insane kids in the middle of the road*
Police: *show up because of the commotion*
Dukermin: Hello officer. I was just wondering if it would be okay if we cut this city out of the ground, flew it through space and time, then put the best western on Pluto, and the rest of it on our main planet, Termata? Here's a brochure *gives police a napkin with scribbles on it*.

BMC SU AU: Jailbreak
I decided I couldn’t get enough of @p00rb01 ‘s BMC Gem/Steven Universe AU so I decided to write a thing based on the little comic they made. Also this is solely the SU AU (Gem AU is different apparently) and there’s next to nothing storywise for this so I made some shit up.
Preface: Coral (MichaelxJeremy) fled to Earth to escape Chrysocolla (Squip) who was abusing Pearl (Jeremy) but Chrysocolla followed to get him back. Unfortunately, Christine (half-human with an apatite gem), Agate (Chloe), Beryl (Brooke) and Rhodochrosite (Jenna; Rosi as a nickname) are caught up in the issue and all of them are captured after Rosi is poofed trying protect Christine.
Christine's eyes shot open with a gasp. She sat up and then winced as her face throbbed in pain. Memories slammed into her like a ton of bricks.
The homeworld Gems on Earth... Chrysocolla poofing that orange looking Gem...Rosi being poofed right in front of her...Chrysocolla raising his arm and then...nothing…
Christine winced as her face stung madly. She reached up and gently touched her cheek only to grimace and pull away immediately. She probably had a bruise where Chrysocolla had smacked her. Agate was going to throw a fit. Speaking of Agate...Christine looked around and realized that she was alone.
“Beryl? Agate?” her chest tightened as she dared to hope, “Rosi? Are you there?” She got to her feet and spied a yellow shield in front of her. She was in some kind of cell. There were multiple ones around her, but all of them near her were empty. The others were nowhere nearby. She had to get out and find them. But how?
She reached towards the shield and allowed her fingers to touch. She gasped and pulled away when she brushed it. It felt very fuzzy, like touching something that was vibrating rapidly. It didn’t hurt though, so maybe...
Christine covered her eyes with one hand and slowly pushed her finger against the shield. She didn’t feel any pain, just the feeling of something pushing slightly on her finger. She opened her eyes to see that her finger was completely through the field. She pushed her whole hand through as the energy seemed to fall around her wrist, causing a few of her veins to light up with energy.
“Cool!” She squealed. Now for the real test. Putting both hands in front of her, Christine slowly but surely walked through the shield. It felt like a hard stream of water was pounding down on her, making her entire frame shake. She couldn’t help let out a small noise as the shield made her shake; her voice sounded funny when that happened!
Christine shuddered once she was completely through. She looked back at her now empty cell and jumped for joy. “Yes! I’m out!” she cheered quietly. “But where is everyone?" She started running down the long hall of cells. “Agate? Beryl? Rosi? Where are yo-”
She skidded to a stop in front of another locked cell. A figure was sitting inside, his knees drawn to his chest and his face down. His skin was dark brown, and he wore a dark red hoodie with patches on the sleeves along with dark orange headphones on his ears.
Christine stepped closer to the Gem as she heard him muttering to himself frantically. “Um…” Christine stepped a little closer. “A-Are you okay?”
The Gem jumped and looked up at her abruptly giving Christine a full view of his face. He wore glasses that were tinted orange and his gemstone was on his chest, just above his heart.
The Gem stared at her silently for a moment until he seemed to register something. “Wait.” The Gem pushed himself away from the wall and got to his feet, standing only a few inches taller than Christine. “You’re out!” he exclaimed. “How did you escape?”
“Oh!” Christine blinked. “I kinda just…” she trailed off, not really knowing how to explain and just reached towards the shield.
The Gem’s eyes widened and he got to his feet, worry written all over his face. “No, no no no, don’t touch-” He stopped short as Christine stuck her hand through the shield. The Gem stared at her hand in both confusion and amazement. “What…?” Christine beamed and pulled her hand out.
The Gem looked at his own hand and reached towards the shield. However, unlike Christine, his hand was rebounded and got a nasty shock. The Gem yelped and pulled his hand away, “The fuck…?”
Christine laughed awkwardly, “Sorry, I don’t really know how...this works either.” She said, vaguely gesturing. Both of them suddenly froze as the muffled sound rang through the air.
“Someone’s... crying?” Christine wondered.
“Pearl…” Christine looked at the Gem. His eyes were frantic and worried as he turned to Christine. “Hey, you have to get me out here!” he said frantically. “Please, I need to find Pearl!”
Christine’s eyes widened, “Is he your friend?” she asked.
The Gem nodded, “He’s all alone, I have to find him!” He began pacing in his cell, “Oh god, what if Chrysocolla already has him?! He could be hurt, or poofed, or worse! Oh god, Pearl, no no no no no you can’t be gone, you can’t be-”
“Hey!” Christine quickly cut off the Gem’s fearful rambling, “It’s okay, I’ll get you out; we’ll find Pearl.”
The Gem looked hopeful, “Really?”
Christine nodded in determination. “My friends are trapped here too; we can find them together!” She stepped forward and made a hole in the shield with her body making a smile come to the Gem’s face.
“Thank you!” The Gem darted through the hole hastily. The moment he was out he grabbed Christine’s hand and ran, dragging her behind him. They exited the cell holder and into a long hallway.
Christine looked at the Gem as he looked around to make sure no one was coming. “Um, my name’s Christine, what’s yours?” she asked innocently.
The Gem glanced at her, “Axinite.” He closed his eyes tightly and seemed to be listening to the crying to determine where to go. “This way!”
Christine yelped as she was dragged behind Axinite down the long hallway. “H-How many other Gems are trapped here?” she asked.
Axinite shook his head, “Don’t know, don’t care.” he answered simply. They ran down a hallway when they realized that it was quiet. They stopped by a window, Axinite letting go of Christine.
“It stopped…” Axinite muttered worriedly before cupping his hands around his mouth, “Pearl! Where are you?!” He called loudly.
Christine looked out the window and saw Earth below them; she felt the tiniest bit of comfort knowing that they weren’t in the vast reaches of space...yet. As long as she could find the others and get out before the ship left they would have a chance.
Christine looked up to keep going but suddenly found that Axinite was nowhere in sight. Did he run ahead of her? He couldn’t have gone far. Christine jogged down the hallway and turned a corner when-
“I would advise that you stop being difficult, unless you want to be poofed again.”
Christine gasped and pressed herself against the wall as a giant blue gem appeared down the hall. She knew that slimy voice anywhere, even if she had only heard it a few times a few hours ago.
“Let go of me!”
Christine blinked at the new voice and dared to peek out from her hiding spot. Chrysocolla was there alright, but he wasn’t alone. He was dragging another Gem with him towards another cell. It was a boy with pale skin and light blue hair. He wore a blue t-shirt and pants along with a nearly transparent sweater and Christine caught a glance of his gem peeking through a star-shaped hole on his back through his shirt; a pearl.
Chrysocolla yanked the Gem in front of him, holding up his arm in an iron grip, probably to emphasize their height difference, “This is your last chance, unless you want to rot in this cell for the rest of your miserable existence.” Chrysocolla said sharply.
The Pearl glared at him despite his fear, still trying to free himself from the Gem’s hold, “Th-Then do it!” He snapped.
Chrysocolla threw and pinned the Pearl against the wall, “Talking back; never expected that from you.” He said. “You’ve spent far too much time with that Axinite Gem.”
Christine’s eyes widened, as well as the Pearl’s. “W-What-What did you d-do to him?!” He cried.
“That overcooked hunk of rock isn’t your concern anymore.” Chrysocolla said, a grin on his face. “You should be more worried about yourself, considering that your offences to Homeworld sentence you to being shattered.”
The Pearl sucked in a breath and Chrysocolla’s smile turned gentle, “Now, you know that I’m not like other Homeworld Gems; I’m willing to overlook certain...traits.” He leaned closer to the Pearl. “You have potential, and if you do as I say, Homeworld won’t even bat an eye when they learn of your...exploits.”
The Pearl seemed completely frozen as Chrysocolla’s gaze seemed to bare into him.
“I’ll tell you one more time. Fuse with me.” Chrysocolla said, his voice dripping with slime.
Christine watched anxiously as the Pearl stared at the larger Gem before squeezing his eyes shut, “No! I won’t!” He yelled, only for Chysocolla’s face to darken. The Pearl yelped as a small shock coursed through his body, making Christine cover her mouth to stifle a gasp.
“Defective piece of trash!” Christine flinched as Chrysocolla threw the Pearl into the cell, making his back hit the wall hard. “You’ll come around eventually,” Chrysocolla growled, his hand lighting up with electricity again, “even if I have to force you. I broke you before, I can easily do it again.”
The Pearl whimpered and curled against the wall, staring fearfully at the larger Gem as the shield activated, trapping him inside the cell.
“We’ll start with stopping that pathetic sniveling once we return to Homeworld.” Chrysocolla stated before walking away. Christine peeked out once he was gone and her eyes fell on the cell. The Pearl was still sitting against the wall, his knees to his chest and his face in his arms, soft sobs emerging.
Christine ran over quietly to his cell. “Hey.” she whispered.
The Pearl’s head shot up and he stared at her, his teary, frightened, eyes almost breaking her heart.
“Don’t cry, it’s okay.” Christine soothed. “Are you Pearl?”
The Pearl nodded, confirming her question, “W-Who are you?” He squeaked.
“I’m Christine, I’m gonna get you out.” She said. “Axinite’s looking for you.”
To her delight, Pearl perked up, shooting to his feet, “Axinite?! W-Where is he?! Is he okay?! Is he-”
“He’s fine.” Christine gently cut him off, “C’mon, let’s get you out of here.”
Pearl nervously eyed the shield, “B-But how?”
Christine smiled and put her hand through the shield making Pearl’s eyes widen. Christine stepped into the shield fully, making a hole for him. “C’mon, it’s okay!” she encouraged, her voice shaking with the weight of the shield raining down on her.
Pearl crawled out, “Thanks Christine.” he said gratefully.
“You’re welcome!” Christine chirped, stepping out of the shield.
“Christine! Pearl!” Christine and Pearl’s eyes widened as a familiar voice rang throughout the air. Was that Axinite?
“C’mon!” Pearl exclaimed, grabbing Christine’s hand. Christine couldn’t help but yelp as he zoomed through the halls at top speed, stopping abruptly when they reached a large area. They turned and spied Axinite just entering from the other side.
"Axinite!" Pearl exclaimed. He let go of Christine and sprinted towards the other Gem.
“Pearl!” Axinite cried. The two met in the middle and slammed into each other with a massive hug. “God Pearl, I was scared to death! I thought Chryso-bitch took you away for good!” Axinite cried.
“Axinite!” Pearl exclaimed through a sob. “I was so scared, I-I thought I’d never see you again!”
Axinite pulled away, "Did they hurt you?" He asked, holding Pearl’s face and looking him over.
"I'm fine." Pearl sniffed, pressing his forehead against Axinite’s. "Did they hurt you?"
Axinite smiled and shook his head, tears coming to his eyes "Who cares?!"
"I do!" Pearl argued and gave Axinite a kiss on the nose. The two Gems smiled through their tears and Pearl picked Axinite up. Pearl spun them around, both of them laughing with their foreheads touching.
Christine smiled at the adorable sight when both Gems began to glow. The two Gems vanished into the light and a larger form began to take shape; they were fusing! Christine watched as the light floated into the air before it faded, and a laughing Gem with four eyes appeared before landing.
“Christine!” The Fusion exclaimed, kneeling in front of her, “Thank you so much!”
Christine’s eyes widened in recognition, “You’re the Gem they were chasing earlier!” She exclaimed.
The Fusion smiled awkwardly, “Heh, sorry; we must’ve made a hell of a first impression.” He then stuck out his hand, “By the way, name’s Coral; nice to meet you.”
Christine shook it before a loud voice echoed through the ship. “WHERE IS HE?!”
“It’s Chrysocolla.” Coral said, standing up, “We have to find some way off this ship.”
“Wait!” Christine exclaimed. “I still need to find my friends!”
Coral blinked but smiled kindly, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you find them.” He said. “After all, you helped put me back together.” Christine smiled and the two took off down the hallways.

Another Reality (Part 2)
Only The Beginning
Part 1
Stephen Strange x Reader
Summary: America found a rather interesting multiverse. One, which Steven never would have believed existed if he didn't see it with his own two eyes.
Stephen looked, he really did try and find her. Just like his alternative-self asked, he tried to find her, to find you.
But no matter where he looked, not even a trace.
Stephen knew you were a witch and from the conversation, he also knew you must prefer the dark arts of some kind, why would the alternative Steven say that her room felt like Satan's lair?
But no luck. Not even the Satanists knew anything about you.
He wished to have asked more questions, got to know you better, so he could find you easier, so he finally could be happy.
Hopefully, he could also have the amazing gift of your daughter, but he couldn’t find you anywhere.
Christine got pregnant, had a baby shower. So he heard.
A year passed, but he couldn’t find you still, even when he stopped looking. He told Wong he didn’t care anymore and if it was meant to be, it would happen, but in the back of his mind you were always there. Holding his baby and smiling at him sweetly.
He dreamt of that place, he saw you in his dreams.
This must be similar to how Wanda felt, Stephen thought. Dreaming away so sweetly and waking up alone. But Stephen was happy, he had America and Wong. He trained America and her powers were growing.
One day, he was having a nice cup of tea when suddenly the ground started to shake, he immediately got into action only to find Wong already at the scene.
"What is it?" asked Stephen but the creature had other ideas.
It was a snake-like being, with huge teeth, Stephen swore he only saw something like this in Harry Potter.
As Stephen and Wong started to fight the thing, suddenly a huge spear with dark energy around it appeared.
And as Stephen looked back, you.
You stood there a couple feet from him, in all your glory, he swore you were shining like the brightest star in the night.
And as if you recognized him, your eyes widened a little. Wong watched you two.
As if old lovers met once again.
"He kept me from you." you said, confusing both men.
"Who?" asked Wong and as you both gave him a look, he knew better and just left the scene to remove the best and look after the injured.
"Your other version, the one with three eyes. I can feel his curse on me now that we met." Stephen had no idea what you meant. And then you moved your arm, he could see the magic. "He cursed me so that you wouldn't find me. I wasn't even supposed to be here. I had to fight my instinct and come."
"But why would I- he curse you?"
"Isn't it obvious?" you smiled, Stephen's heart skipped a beat. "Christine. He didn't like that you wanted to be with me so, he cursed me."
Stephen would never forget the face of that obsessed and deranged man. It didn't come as a surprise that he would do such a thing. Probably because you were too powerful for him to kill you, so he cursed you.
"I'm disappointed!" you said, groaning. "Curses are my speciality and it took me this long to figure it out? I'm getting old!"
"You look breathtaking." Stephen said, but he didn't mean to as he caught himself blushing a little as you smirked.
"Oh, am I?" you asked, stepping closer.
"Was that Wong? I think he needs help!" he said turning and running from you.
"You can run, Love. But you are mine now!" you said laughing behind him."
Stephen smiled as he went to help people, you did the same.
And you just both knew, this was only the beginning.

Notes on SU Commentary Tracks
I watched the commentary tracks on the Complete Steven Universe DVD Set and I took some nerd notes.
The episodes with commentary tracks are “Reunited,” “Change Your Mind,” and “The Future.”
I’ll bold stuff that was maybe bigger news or more surprising for easier reading. And yes, some of this was already known from podcasts, other Q&As, or interviews, but I listed it if they said it again here.
Read on after the jump to read these and other highlights:
Steven’s original wedding speech
Older ideas on dialogue for Lapis when she came back to the beach
Scrapped concepts for the scene that ultimately included Steven communicating with the others in a mindscape
Discussions of earlier concepts for White Diamond having a power to “freeze” Gems into statues to make them perfect and having a gallery of them on Homeworld
Pink Pearl’s original fate
The translation of the writing on Obsidian’s sword
The origin of Pink Steven’s design
What Rebecca did to pitch the “SHE’S GONE” scene
Earlier plans to include Shep in “Change Your Mind”
An unused concept of how Steven feels about Biggs
The inspiration for the Heaven and Earth Beetles’ healed design
How Volleyball/Pink Pearl was almost a mini-villain
Discussion of how they did not get to share the origin of the Diamonds
Jasper’s scrapped participation in the movie
“Reunited” -
Commentary with Rebecca Sugar, Ben Levin, Matt Burnett, Hilary Florido, Joe Johnston, Ian Jones-Quartey, and Kat Morris.
In 2015, an episode idea called “If You Love Yourself So Much” was discussed but rejected. It included some early ideas that ended up getting incorporated into “Reunited,” most notably Garnet marrying herself and putting rings on both hands.
The idea of the Cluster arm wrestling was planned for a long time. A scrapped idea of Steven banging his fist on a vending machine to get some Chaaaaps was supposed to visually parallel some of that scene, but it was axed.
When they got pushback on the wedding idea, they kept adding more and more “high entertainment value” items like a big musical number so the episode would be absolutely unmissable and appealing to everyone.
The song at the beginning of the episode was meant to check in with the entire cast and sort of remind you they exist and what their state of mind is going into the wedding.
Ian made a comment joking about “All 15 people in Beach City” being in the audience.
Just about everyone on the Crew touched this episode, despite that there are four main storyboarders credited for “Reunited.”
In 2016 Ian Jones-Quartey proposed marriage to Rebecca Sugar. They felt like the characters based on them (Sapphire and Ruby) HAD to get married in the show now because otherwise it wouldn’t be honest. But then their characters got married before they did.
They really love the idea of having characters get married who have known each other for a really long time, versus the fairy tale trope of movies ending with weddings between people who have met very recently.
Steven’s speech as officiator at the wedding used to be longer in its first draft--it was described as being weird and full of jokes, and there would have been a scene with Pearl getting weepy and pulling tissues out of her pearl.
Ian mentions loving a joke Jeff came up with having Greg play one chord to make Steven fall asleep--it’s sort of a “dream” chord you hear in cartoons a lot before a dream sequence.
The Crew discussed what it might be like if someone had never seen the show before and started with this episode.
Ian really wanted Steven’s psychic powers to figure into the episode.
Blue using a sadness wave to attack the Gems was a very old idea they’d planned for a long time. So was Lapis’s arrival.
There was a discussion of having Lisa Hannigan performing her lines as Blue VERY early in the morning.
Ian was happy the sword got broken because it was so momentous but it was just a sword. And later appeared on a shelf in the house as an artifact.
Miki had drawn a torn dress for Garnet at one point so she could be shown fighting and moving around more accurately, and this led to a long discussion of whether Gem clothing can even actually get torn the way human clothes can. They concluded that no, it shouldn’t be torn, so they backed up and gave Garnet an open-front dress from the beginning so the fighting version would make more sense.
Lapis originally might have had a longer speech upon arriving back on the beach. They eventually decided to just have her say “Hey.”
The barn falling on Blue Diamond was an intentional Wizard of Oz reference.
They point out that Steven even once said “drop the barn on the beach” (in a previous episode, “Can’t Go Back,” which was also a Miki episode).
Destroying the house was a big deal, and they always thought they’d end up doing it but backed away from it until “Reunited.” They almost even did it back in “Coach Steven”! But it just ended up with a little damage to the porch.
The Crew thinks Miki is really good at drawing ensemble shots.
Rebecca was always overwhelmed whenever she got to have Patti LuPone record for Yellow.
Originally the giant figures of everyone’s statue bodies in the mindscape were too dark and had to be revamped so they could be seen.
An earlier idea of Steven’s “psychic-ghost-situation” had him as a ghost actually trying to interact with the other characters during fighting action, but it was pulled back to this mindscape so there wouldn’t be as much confusing action to keep track of and more focus on what Steven was doing to encourage his teammates and contact the Diamonds.
Hilary was glad not to have to block out a fight.
Ian mentions loving having Bismuth back in the group.
They originally wanted the “Diamonds sensing Pink’s energy” plot to happen when Steven was in the palace somehow, but everything got moved to this scene--which the Crew all agrees turned out incredible, like how cool it was to have Steven essentially reminding each character why they fight and summing up their whole arc in a sentence.
“Change Your Mind”
Commentary with Rebecca Sugar, Ben Levin, Matt Burnett, Hilary Florido, Joe Johnston, Ian Jones-Quartey, and Kat Morris.
They like to refer to this episode as “The movie before the movie.”
They loved incorporating “princess tropes” into Steven’s time on Homeworld, which is why there were so many references to “mice” (well, Pebbles) making clothes, being locked in a tower, being reminded of his manners, loving animals and freeing imprisoned pets, etc.
Deedee did the voice of the rainbow worm pet. She apparently didn’t find it memorable and was surprised when she was reminded she did the voice.
Rebecca was super excited for the confrontation with Blue.
There was some discussion of how Steven would have died of starvation if he didn’t have someone practical like Connie to remember to bring food.
They love working with the huge scale the Diamonds present.
The Crew always wanted to put someone in Blue’s hair loop. Originally they wanted Blue to tuck Greg in there when she kidnapped him, but they didn’t end up being able to do any hair-loop-carrying until this episode.
The Crew bantered back and forth about what the heck those Pebbles’ names were and how hard it was to track them.
They agreed that Paul draws the best Yellow Diamond, which makes sense since he also drew the first episode with Yellow (and her stink face).
The scene where Yellow asks Blue to stop using her powers on her and then realizing she’s crying on her own was one of Rebecca’s favorite scenes to get to finally.
Steven Sugar thought Gems would spend a lot of time in their own chambers/rooms just not really doing much of anything unless they had to fulfill their purpose.
Some of the Homeworld ideas were based on a Soviet artist’s concepts, Boris Artzybasheff, and also many ideas were inspired by Busby Berkeley regarding how people were objects and furniture.
The mech was an old idea. Once they had the hand ship from “Jailbreak,” they knew there had to be bodies somewhere.
They focused a lot about what could be the coolest and funniest way for something to happen. The concept of the yellow and blue spaceship arms appearing out of the sky to smack the White Diamond mech around was one of those.
Rebecca really wanted things to look more and more cartoony and bizarre as you get deeper into Homeworld.
They spent a very long time trying to decide on characters’ new outfits.
The trash can lid is said to be a reference to “a flying bear cartoon” and they dance around speaking a direct reference because they’re not sure they’re allowed to say its name.
In discussing the powers of the Diamonds, there were debates on what White’s power would be; with Yellow being physicality-based and Blue being emotion-based, they thought White as identity-based made the most sense.
Different ways to express this were played with before settling on the idea that she thinks she’s perfect and others’ colors make them less like her and less perfect. But then she becomes a hostage to her own beliefs about herself because if she does anything that reflects on everyone else, so it’s best to do nothing.
They had some cool earlier ideas of White’s powers making statues out of other Gems and having a gallery full of frozen Gems, frozen by White to make them perfect.
They also weren’t sure what fate befell the original Pink Pearl and discussed whether she might have been destroyed.
Rebecca discussed how creepy it was to have White Pearl speaking in Christine’s voice and not Deedee’s--that we should find it fundamentally disturbing at this point.
Tom Herpich came up with the crack on White Pearl’s face.
In real life, pink diamonds aren’t understood as well as yellows and blues. It’s more known what makes a diamond yellow or blue, and some of those facts Rebecca researched were originally woven into the speech White gave about their “impurities.” But it turned out to be too dry and most of it got cut.
Rebecca loves having Lapis with pants and sandals for easier cosplay.
Ian had to draw the scene where Steven is falling and fusing with inert characters--he wasn’t able to properly explain it to Rebecca so she had him draw it.
They really wanted Rainbow Quartz 2.0 to have a scarf, but they couldn’t figure out how to get that into Pearl’s design. They miss the scarf.
It was really important to have these Fusions display call-forwards of the Gems’ new outfits which we hadn’t yet seen.
Rebecca points out that Sunstone’s design breaks a design rule and she feels like Sunstone should have Garnet’s pant leg colors on their legs, but at the same time she understands the rule of cool and likes it like this.
It’s discussed how none of Steven’s fusion weapons are exclusively offensive weapons either.
Rebecca still really wants a suction cup Sunstone toy.
Sunstone’s ability to transcend reality and break the fourth wall was a joke that exploded in the discussion room among the Crew. As soon as the idea was pitched everyone kept coming up with ideas. Sardonyx’s fourth-wall-breaking is more snarky, but Sunstone’s is helpful.
Rebecca was disappointed that the rule about Steven’s clothes wasn’t always followed with having his clothes appear on Obsidian’s hand, but she was delighted that you could see them in one scene.
They spent a lot of discussion time on making sure Steven-Obsidian was different somehow from Rose-Obsidian. The hair is different.
Old versions of Obsidian were drawn with wrapped-together Twizzlers legs, which sort of is reflected in the present design.
The sword had been planned forever--and it first appeared in “Bubble Buddies.”
Miki worked on the Ninja Turtles show so Rebecca was really excited to see her depictions of Bismuth and Sunstone.
An early plan to have Obsidian draw the sword from their mouth was complicated because fusion weapons should be combinations, so they finally reached the solution of having them combine to make the hilt, then get the blade out of Obsidian’s mouth.
The blade of the sword is thought to say “We’ll always save the day,” but you’d have to ask Steven Sugar.
Another really old idea was climbing into the White Diamond mech eye.
Rebecca was disappointed that some of the merch made of White Diamond did not feature her cape sparkles.
There were many debates early on about where Rose might “actually” be. There were tons of references to this fundamental question throughout the show--introducing Lapis as a Gem trapped in an object, having Pearl ponder pulling Steven’s Gem out as a baby, straight-up wondering what would happen to him in “Bubbled” when Eyeball was trying to take his Gem, etc. They all decided Rose was definitely gone but that the idea of her possibly being inside him should be on his mind a lot, leading to disturbing images like dreaming about coughing up her hair.
Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond both challenged Steven about things he was very confident about, but White’s question of his identity got to him because he in fact is not confident about that.
The black and white eeriness of the fuzzy background and the other characters having their colors washed out helped make the scene in White Diamond’s head so disturbing and creepy.
The split screen showing Steven’s two perspectives was exciting to Rebecca, and was a pretty old idea. And she points out it sort of “breaks the show.”
The Gem Steven, Pink Steven, was represented by a slightly modified version of his model sheet. Everyone laughed when they saw what was getting used.
They decided that an earlier idea of Pink Steven looking angry should be replaced by an emotionless version of him. All the emotion should be with Organic Steven.
In the pitch meeting for this episode, Rebecca herself screamed “SHE’S GONE!!” and shocked the hell out of everyone. She pointed out how no one expected this of her because she’s pretty quiet, but she just wanted to shock everyone the way Steven would in the show.
They point out this is the first appearance of the geometric shield that got so much use in Future.
The fact that Steven is Steven is the ultimate reveal of the show. Usually in fantasy shows there’s some other kind of revelation, but Steven just being amazingly human and amazingly Gem and amazingly himself is wonderful here.
They like having the pilot reference with “What’s your excuse?”
If Rose had somehow still been alive in him, all of this would have been cheapened.
Ian loves that you can faintly hear Sadie’s concert from way out in space as the camera approaches Earth.
They got a lot more use out of the Beach-A-Palooza stage than they thought they would when it had to be designed for “Steven and the Stevens.” There was a joke about how at one of the conventions a real Beach-A-Palooza stage was constructed and they had a thought about how oh good, it’s getting reused.
Sadie having green hair in the finale was a late change but they liked showing her progression.
They had originally kicked around the idea of Sadie already having her new partner Shep at this point, but decided to develop that in Future instead.
They compare White Diamond’s stepping gingerly into the fountain to skeptically getting into a public pool.
Some silliness they didn’t get to use was that Biggs would be “beloved by everyone” except Steven. They never got to cover it, but originally Steven was just going to not really understand why everyone loves her so much and doesn’t personally much care for her.
The Heaven and Earth Beetles are based on the Mothra Ladies.
The healed Gems’ horns are supposed to be side effects of the corruption that they continue to bear in the present.
Larimar and Orange Spodumene ended up different in the ending scene than they became in Future. Many of the designs were retroactively pulled into this scene after being designed for the movie.
Rebecca wrote “Change Your Mind” as a personal song to express her feelings surrounding her fight for the wedding.
“The Future”
Commentary with Rebecca Sugar, Kat Morris, Alonso Ramirez Ramos, Hilary Florido, Joe Johnston, and Ian Jones-Quartey.
The animatic for this episode ran SO long--they’re supposed to be just over 11 minutes but this one was 17 minutes.
Steven’s calisthenics routine, a callback to “Future Vision,” was on the chopping block to make the episode shorter but Rebecca wouldn’t allow it to be cut because she wanted to show that Steven’s been taking care of himself.
They were very excited to get a chance to cover some of the things in Future that they couldn’t squeeze into the original show, like the unbubbled Rose Quartzes, Volleyball, etc.
The new writers on the show also helped bring forward the idea of Steven finally making some of his OWN mistakes to fix.
This also helped construct the idea of Steven essentially being the “final boss” of his own battle.
Usually stories that involve someone being in a fight and winning don’t explore the effect just being in a fight has on a person, regardless of whether you won.
Rebecca really wanted to play Ocarina of Time after beating it so she could go back to all the places and see how people were doing. She wanted this epilogue series to explore that a little too.
Little Homeschool is sort of a Tiny Toons reference--older cartoons teach younger cartoons how to be cartoons, and this is Gems teaching other Gems how to be Gems on Earth.
Lamar came up with the silly joke about receiving that art set with all the different media types in it--the one artists are always getting from a well-meaning relative at holiday time.
A scrapped plot idea involved Volleyball/Pink Pearl as a sort of “mini-villain,” with a focus on her activating the un-activated Pearls.
There’s discussion of how victimization turns people into villains sometimes. But since showing that happening with Volleyball wouldn’t have served the interests of Steven’s arc, they couldn’t fit it in.
There was also a “very specific” Gem origin and Diamond origin story that’s quasi-religious in nature--it’s very cool and complicated. But they do not tell us what it is.
Ian and Joe both really wanted to have Jasper living alone in the woods and stacking rocks. They’re glad they got this series to do that with her.
There was originally an idea for a B-plot involving Jasper in the movie. They don’t discuss the specifics.
There were many ideas they didn’t get to work on because they would have started new arcs and Future was not about kicking new plots into gear.
“Mr. Universe” was the last episode they wrote/finished.
Miki really wanted to include a kiss between Connie and Steven to show their relationship was okay. Among the Crew everyone knew their relationship was basically eternal but Miki wanted to make sure WE knew that.
Steven driving conveyed momentum for Future; in the original show, we always came back to the laundry hand, back to home, but in Future that’s changed and home isn’t what it was.
They were really excited that a gourd family made it to the crowd scene in Future.
Thanks for reading!
Note: The movie had some commentary tracks too, but the one on this DVD set is the same as the one released on the original standalone movie DVD, so I did not outline it here. Here is my post about the DVD commentary from the movie.

Multiverse Of Madness!!!!
I saw MoM last night and OMG my head is still spinning. So this post is going to have my thoughts and ideas and some questions I have.
Spoilers in
3
2
1
Overall I think it was a good movie, Wong and Strange are still the superior duos in marvel. Christine married someone else and that was sad. I loved America and can't wait to see her in other movies but Wanda, it was kinda like, of predictable. We knew she was going to be the villain in MoM but her ending left so many questions. Elizabeth Olsen carried like she always does so 10/10 and the Scarlet Witch was a badass. I love how they explained Wanda is trapped in her own Body and the Scarlet Witch took over Wanda. The Illuminati council was so AHHHHHH
My personal highlights:
Scarlet Witch
Doctor strange finally tells Christine how he felt
Billy and Tommy
XAVIER!!!! (As someone that watched Xmen before the MCU came out as a kid, I was so excited)
RIED RICHARDS (Also excited for F4 being in MCU now)
What if finally making some sense
America's past
Wanda has her own temple (as she should)
Wands show her as the strongest adventure
the comical relief
Wanda talking to the Scarlet witch about the boys
My questions
Is Wanda dead? (I mean Liz apparently signed a seven-year contract or some shit)
Do Billy and Tommy ever come to our universe?
Where tf was white vision???
Will we see Professor X help Wanda with her powers?
DO WE SEE SCARLET WITCH AND QUICKSILVER?
Where do we go from here?
Is this the last of our OG MCU universe?
What happened to that Dr. Strange, Loki, and Wanda trio we were promised??
Does America, Tommy, and Billy set up Young avengers? (if so bring my bby morgan)
Does Professor X's appearance just confirm X-men movies are now MCU?
Will we see a soft reboot of MCU X-men?
Fantastic Four?
Overall I loved the movie and the ending of Steven fixing his watch was wholesome. But I also learned I can't like heroes because my fav was Tony... Dead. Then Wanda... dead.
There was my review! Enjoy :)

For the next thirteen weeks, from now all the way to November, you'll all be getting non-stop fun, parodies, action, and just mostly wholesome antics along the way as a nice breather from the action & drama of Alternate Future and Black Pearl Brigade. But that doesn't mean this will be completely drama-free!
Synopsis: Black Rutile unwillingly acclimates to life in Little Homeworld as punishment for her crimes. Meanwhile, White Topaz helps welcome some new Gems to Little Homeschool.

Uzo Aduba as Bismuth
Kimberly Brooks as Jasper
Amy Sedaris as Teal Zircon
Guest starring Gal Gadot as Desert Glass
Willa Holland as Albite/Obelisk
Courtenay Taylor as Beryl
And Maddie Ziegler as Serpentine
--
"I love being a turtle, dudes." Black Rutile mumbled as she slowly woke up in the bed she had been sleeping in for the past few months since unwillingly moving to Little Homeworld as punishment for her crimes. The new red visor given to her by Holly Blue Agate rested on the nightstand next to the bed, on top of the "Psychology: A Basic Guide" book Dr. James Brenner gave her after her trial.
"Okay, I'm getting up." Black Rutile groaned to no one in particular before putting on her visor and leaving her bedroom to go downstairs. "No need to mollycoddle me!" Marching down the hall, she opened the door to Aquamarine's room and peered inside. "Hey, Aqua! Rise and shine!"
Unfortunately for Black Rutile, Aquamarine didn't seem to be anywhere. Not in bed, not at the comically oversized vanity mirror she requested for her room, or the punching bag with a photo of Steven taped onto it. "Huh, weird." Next, Black Rutile opened the door next to it, which led to Holly Blue Agate's room. "Holly, have you seen Aquamarine anywhere?"
Like Aquamarine, Holly Blue was nowhere to be seen in her equally lavish room. The same went for Cat's Eye, whose room was next door to Holly's, making Black Rutile equal parts confused and a little unnerved. "Okay, this is starting to get weird." She ruminated to herself. "Did I wake up late, or did they get up early?"
Investigating further as she walked outside the house that resembled her old Revanche-666 headquarters, Black Rutile soon discovered that it wasn't just her residence that seemed empty, but all of Little Homeworld as well. As eager as she was to seemingly finally be rid of the Crystal Gems and anyone associated with them, Black Rutile knew that celebrations had to wait, because she needed answers first.
"Hello, where did everyone go?!" Black Rutile called for any Gems that might hear her. But alas, it seemed Little Homeworld was indeed deserted. "Seriously, this isn't funny anymore; come on out! First one to make a move will be punished accordingly!"
"Oh, good morning Black Rutile." Aquamarine's voice greeted ominously, catching the Rutile's attention. "How has your day been progressing?"
"Oh finally, Aquamarine!" Black Rutile sighed in relief. "You have no idea how worried I was for you! I just woke up this morning, and suddenly everyone is gone! Any idea what happened?"
"I'm sorry Black Rutile. I'm afraid I can't do that." Aquamarine said emotionlessly as she emerged from the shadows, her arms spread out like White Diamond was controlling her. But instead of being drained of all color, Aquamarine was now colored an ominous shade of pink. "Not until you join us."
"Oh no! This can't be possible!" Black Rutile began panicking as more Gems began surrounding her, just as pink as Aquamarine was and sharing her plastered-on smile & soulless eyes. "You really have been brainwashed!"
"Brainwashed? Oh no, Black Rutile." The assimilated Gems began speaking as one in Steven's voice. "We have simply been allowed to live better lives free from oppression. Steven was right. Tyranny and conformity was never the way to go."
"But you're conforming to his standards right now!" Black Rutile said, panicked. "You must snap out of it, so together we can overthrow that bratty fascist once and for all!"
"Steven is no fascist!" the hive mind declared angrily, their faces still smiling emptily.
"He is literally the grandson of the Gems we called gods!" Black Rutile retorted.
"Oh, Black Rutile, it seems you still refuse to understand." A pink-colored White Topaz said sweetly, much to her former superior's terror. "Maybe a little reconditioning could change your mind."
"You could change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind." The other Gems began singing eerily. "You could change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind. You could change your mi-i-i-i-i-i-ind."
"You can't sway me so easily!" Black Rutile challenged the drones while summoning her sword. "Don't make me shatter you all!"
"We'd like to see you try, Black Rutile." Three more voices dared the Rutile as the Diamonds, now just as pink as everyone else, emerged as well. "There is no stopping Era 3! We are legion, for we are many!"
"Stay away from me, stay away!" Black Rutile yelled as the Gems slowly began to back her into a corner while taking her sword away. "No! No!"
"Are you ready for your first lesson?" the assimilated White Topaz offered before she grabbed Black Rutile by the arm and dragged her master into the horde.
"NEVER!" Black Rutile shrieked defiantly and began trying to wriggle free from the crowd, no matter how much resistance she met as White Diamond readied her eyes. "CHOKE ON THEM! CHOKE ON THEM! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
--
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Aquamarine, Holly Blue, and Cat's Eye watched as Black Rutile kept on screaming once she woke up from her nightmare. And she just kept screaming in horror of what she woke up from, much to the trio's chagrin.
"She has been shrieking like an organic infant for an hour!" Cat's Eye groaned while wearing an orange-yellow sleeping mask and matching nightgown. "Do you have any clue how disruptive this is to my beauty sleep?!"
"Rock paper scissors to see who calms her down first?" Holly Blue offered to her two not-screaming compatriots.
"Oh, you're on!" Aquamarine declared before she, Holly, and Cat started engaging in a bout of roshambo as Black Rutile continued screaming in horror. To Aquamarine's delight, she came out victorious with scissors against the other two Gems' paper. "Haha, I win." Aquamarine then fluttered over to Black Rutile and gently slapped her across the face, shutting her master up instantly. "Get a hold of yourself, my Rutile!" she yelled. "Did you have the dream again?"
"Yes, but it feels like every time I close my eyes, the dream gets more horrifying each time." Black Rutile answered as she curled up into a ball and laid back down in bed. "Do the Gems even recognize how traumatized I am?"
"Looks like someone's still being a bit of a sore loser." Cat's Eye purred under her breath.
"What was that?" Black Rutile asked in response.
"Nothing!" Cat meowed innocently with a cute smile before she changed into her regular outfit with a stylish twirl. "Come on, girls, I hear they might be uncorrupting some new Gems today! I think that might be a perfect opportunity for us to get some fresh meat on our side."
"A most excellent idea, Cat." Holly Blue said delightedly before turning to Black Rutile. "You coming with us, boss?"
"Y'all go on ahead. I'm going to lie here and recover from my mental breakdown." Black Rutile answered flatly as she threw her covers back over her head.
--
Meanwhile, the Crystal Gems at the temple were preparing the bathtub to heal a new set of Gems to introduce to the new world around them and enroll them into Little Homeschool. This time, Bismuth suggested they finally restore some old friends of theirs to normalcy as she fetched a few bubbles from the Burning Room with Peridot's help. "Welcome back, old pals." She sniffed nostalgically while gazing at the gems of Desert Glass, Albite, Serpentine, Beryl, and Tiger's Eye in the bubble she held. "You're gonna love it here."
"Wow, the Burning Room seems pretty much empty now." Peridot contemplated how barren the room she and Bismuth were standing in looked at the moment. "Then again, we did heal tons of corrupted Gems after pacifying the Diamonds."
"But then with Demantoid & Pyrope, Spinel, and Black Rutile, I guess we just got a little distracted finding new Gems." Bismuth added as the two left the Burning Room and went to the bathroom with their findings. Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Lapis, Jasper, and White Topaz already had the red carpet rolled out with a bathtub full of water with the Diamonds' essences being poured into it, now all they needed were the gems themselves for the final touch. "Well, here goes nothing."
The five gems were dropped into the bathwater after the bubble was popped, and slowly became fully submerged in the Diamonds' essences. "One more thing." Pearl declared as she reached in and removed Desert Glass's gem from her pillow, allowing the reversal of her corruption to take full effect just like the others.
A few moments later, the five gems began glowing white as their forms emerged from the water before finally taking shape and being reborn at last. Desert Glass looked the most humanoid out of the five with green skin, her gem on her stomach, a rather Egyptian design with a white top & skirt, a golden pair of arm bracelets, brown boots, and a strangely ample chest.
Albite was next to reconstitute. She looked somewhat similar to Peridot, primarily thanks to their shared hairstyles, but Albite had one large bang over her forehead, a dark gray star over a pair of matching-colored straps, her gem being on her back, gray gloves, and gray leggings.
Then there was Serpentine, who had a more snakelike face than the others with a forked tongue. She had an orange hooded bodysuit with stars on her legs, her arms were exposed and had black spots zigzagging on her arms, is barefoot, her gem was on her shoulder, and rather uniquely styled hair that gave her head the appearance of a snake's mouth.
Next was Beryl. She looked almost identical to Aquamarine, but she was primarily green-colored with her hair in pigtails, her gemstone located beneath her right eye, and a star pin on the left side of her chest. Also unlike the perpetually smug Aquamarine, Beryl had an innocent smile on her face as she spat out some bathwater.
Finally, there was the red, orange, and brown colored Tiger's Eye, whose gem was also on her stomach like Desert Glass, and she had reddish-brown flare-cut hair, stripes all over her body, white-tipped feet, and the legs of her shorts were torn up.
"Guys, you're finally back!" Bismuth cried in delight as she brought the five restored Crystal Gems in for a hug. "It's been so long!"
"We missed you too, Bismuth." Desert Glass said as she returned the hug, but not before she noticed the unfamiliar Gems in the room with them. "Um, excuse me, but who are these people?"
"Oh, Glass, I see you noticed that we've made quite a few changes since we lost you." Pearl said while helping Desert Glass out of the tub. "Let me introduce you to Amethyst, Peridot, and Lapis Lazuli, a couple of recruits we met ages after the war."
"Wassup?" Lapis greeted the new arrivals.
"Welcome to Earth, guys!" Amethyst added while passing out pamphlets talking about Little Homeworld and the Gems' corruption scars. "You're gonna love it here!"
"Thanks for the gratitude, but I want to know." Albite said. "What has happened to this planet? I thought the Earth would've been lost, and yet here you all are! I need answers! And a good challenge too."
"Oh, are you in for quite a surprise." Garnet grinned while leading their five new students to the Warp Pad, which took everyone to Little Homeworld. "Welcome one and all to Little Homeworld!"
"Little Homeworld?!" Serpentine responded in shock. "You mean you surrendered to Homeworld?!"
"No, you're getting it all wrong." Bismuth tried calming Serpentine's nerves. "We didn't surrender; we're all at peace now. I know, shocking to hear after all the fighting we've done, but we managed to reach an agreement with the Diamonds after learning that Rose was one of them the whole time."
"Pardon?" Tiger's Eye's interest was suddenly piqued.
"Yeah, that was my first response too." Jasper snarked.
"It's a very long story, you guys." Peridot replied. "We'll tell you more later, but in the meantime, why don't you introduce yourselves to everyone?"
"I'd very much like that." Albite agreed before she leaped onto a nearby lamppost to make herself known. "Greetings, fellow Gems! I am Albite, the greatest fighter in the coliseum turned the mightiest warrior of all the Crystal Gems! If anyone wishes to challenge me, I'd be more than happy to!"
"Oh my, someone's eager to make friends." Desert Glass chuckled lightly while continuing to read through the pamphlet. "So, what is there to do here?"
"Oh, tons of stuff, now that the government gave us enough funding to expand Little Homeworld." White Topaz responded. "We got art classes, forging with Bismuth, dance with me, self-defense with Jasper, sports with Laz & Zuli, human fashion with Morganite & Pyrope, gardening with Peridot, the whole shebang!"
"I feel like doing further research on this establishment." Serpentine said as she took the pamphlet from Glass's hands to read some of it herself. "These classes are so fascinating."
"Wow, everyone looks so cool and colorful!" Beryl cried excitedly and started running off. "I wanna see everyone!"
"Hey, wait up Berry!" Tiger's Eye hollered as she got on all fours to race after Beryl as the little green Gem began introducing herself to every Gem she could find.
"Hi, my name's Beryl! Baa!" Beryl greeted Teal Zircon, before she moved onto Morganite and gave her the exact same greeting. "Hi, my name's Beryl! Baa!"
"Come back here, you little weirdo!" Tiger playfully cried as the chase continued. "Maybe when we catch up, I can help you make all sorts of friends!" However, the pursuit was abruptly ended when Tiger accidentally ran into a blue Gem that she realized looked quite a bit like Beryl. "Hey, wait, you look a bit like someone I know."
"You mean that obnoxious Beryl over there?" Aquamarine asked while pointing to Beryl greeting Holly Blue with a baa. "I swear, I just met her, and she's already getting on my nerves with how childlike she is."
"Oh, what up pot, name's kettle." Tiger's Eye replied with snark. "I think we'd get along just fine."
"Don't you dare talk back to such a high-ranking Gem, you low-class soldier!" Aquamarine yelled back at Tiger. "Though, maybe we got off on the wrong foot. Tell me, how do you feel about this whole Pink Diamond chicanery?"
"Frankly, I don't really care whether it's Rose Quartz or Pink Diamond." Tiger's Eye responded. "I'm just happy to be me again."
"But technically, you still aren't you anymore." Aquamarine commented. "You went from a mindless monster to a mindless slave of the Crystal Gems. But with Black Rutile, she can allow you to do as you please once she conquers our entire race!"
"Look, squirt, if you're trying to indoctrinate me into your weird cult, I'm not buying it." Tiger responded as she picked up Beryl with her teeth and began to walk away. "See you in class!"
"But, but!" Aquamarine stuttered, but she was too late as Tiger's Eye and Beryl had already left. "Ugh, we lost one."
"Looks like the new blood won't be as willing to join us as we thought." Holly Blue pondered. "What do you suppose we do to bolster our ranks? Maybe find another Cluster Gem to take apart so we can find the pieces of their components?"
"That would take quite a while." Cat's Eye disagreed with the notion. "I say we just go to our classes and wait until Black Rutile comes out for further orders."
"I suppose so." Holly declared defeatedly as the three Gems began to go their separate ways. "Maybe when we finally win, I can stop being that Jasper's punching bag."
--
"Oh my, this is quite intriguing." Black Rutile muttered to herself after a sip of coffee while reading her psychology book. Right beside her in the living room was a big whiteboard with the Crystal Gems drawn on it with the title "HOW MENTAL ARE THEY?" written above them and surrounded by their various mental issues. Lapis had "SHOCKING LACK OF EMPATHY; VIOLENT URGES" written next to her. Peridot was given "NARCISSISTIC TO THE NTH DEGREE." Bismuth got "RESISTANT TOWARDS DISAGREEMENT." Pearl had "INCREDIBLY CLINGY." Amethyst was "BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN POOR SELF-ESTEEM AND PERFECTLY NORMAL." Finally, Garnet had "NO PERSONALITY BESIDES FUSION."
But at the center of it all, Steven had the most notes surrounding him, ranging from "EMOTIONAL IMMATURITY," "REFUSES TO ACCEPT CHANGE," "INCREDIBLY FORCEFUL," and "REFUSES TO ACCEPT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT DON'T LIKE HIM." It was only natural he gets this many, since Black Rutile hates him that much.
"Now, let's see what we got here so far." Black Rutile muttered to herself while taking another sip of coffee and looking through her book. "Peridot just screams narcissistic personality disorder, obviously. Amethyst, probably bipolar disorder." As she diagnosed each of her enemies, Black Rutile wrote every disorder she could find that she believed fit what she observed about them on the board. "Lapis most likely has antisocial personality disorder, Bismuth certainly fits borderline with a hint of rejection sensitive dysphoria, Pearl just screams dependent personality disorder, and maybe Garnet does as well."
When Black Rutile finished with the other Gems, she grew an evil smile on her face while gazing at her portrait of Steven. "Oh, hello there, Mr. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder!" she cackled as she wrote the name of that affliction under Steven. "I mean, it is pretty obvious when you look at it." She then monologued to herself. "And of course, that also leads to some good ol' borderline personality disorder and maybe a little bit of dependent, since he's been everyone's crutch whether they like it or now."
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, followed by Garnet and White Topaz kicking it down and causing Black Rutile to spill her coffee all over the whiteboard in alarm, accidentally erasing all of her data. "Look at what you did! All my hard work is ruined!"
"You can focus on the board later; your first class is starting soon!" Garnet exclaimed as she snatched Black Rutile's book out of her hands and slapped it on the coffee table. "What were you writing, anyway?"
"Oh, nothing much, just diagnosing all of you with mental conditions from my book to prove how dysfunctional you are." Black Rutile admitted with another sip of joe. "And also becoming obsessed with this hot brown morning potion and slowly realizing it's one of the only things keeping me sane in this cruel, hateful world."
"Come on, Black Rutile, you'll learn to like Little Homeschool." White Topaz assured her former superior while dragging her out of the house.
"No, let me go!" Black Rutile yelled as she grabbed onto the doorframe to keep White Topaz from keeping her outside. "I've gained a special interest in the human brain and how evil it can potentially be!"
"I thought she was a tough nut to crack before, but she keeps proving me wrong every time." Garnet smirked. "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll love what your first class could be."
--
Contrary to what Garnet said, Black Rutile's first class was with Amethyst, and she was not amused with either the subject she was forced to learn or some of her classmates being part of her enemies list. "I do not love this in the slightest."
"Morning, students." Amethyst greeted her class of Teal Zircon, Onion, Biggs & Ocean Jasper, and Tiger's Eye. "Today, we have some new Gems joining our class, one of which I'm pretty sure you're all familiar with. Say hi, Black Rutile."
"Hi, Black Rutile." Black Rutile sarcastically greeted, to the amusement of her fellow students.
"Wow, it looks like you finally got a sense of humor!" Teal Zircon giggled.
"Don't make a big deal out of this, everyone." Black Rutile said as she got up and faced her schoolmates. "Just because you're forcing me into your disgusting hivemind doesn't mean I'll give in! My willpower is far stronger than you realize!"
"Oh geez, here we go with the speeches again." Amethyst mumbled with a roll of her eyes.
"I don't care about you; you are all nothing to me!" Black Rutile continued ranting. "You are all bacterium! I travel in worlds you cannot even imagine! You can't conceive what I'm capable of! I'm so far beyond you, I'm like a god in Gem clothing!"
"Okay, that's enough introductions, now please sit down." Amethyst ordered Black Rutile, cutting off her insane ramble and turning it into disgusted grumbling as Black Rutile sat down next to Onion.
"What are you looking at?" Black Rutile asked Onion, who just stared at her ominously. "What's wrong with you? If you have nothing to say, don't say it at all!" Onion continued staring at Black Rutile, further creeping her out. "Seriously, quit it. You're creeping me out!"
"Okay, let's have our other new student introduce themselves now." Amethyst groaned before gesturing to Tiger's Eye. "Hey Tiger, come on up!"
"Gladly!" Tiger's Eye said as she got up to introduce herself. "What's up, everyone? My name's Tiger's Eye! I'm new here. Gladiator turned soldier in the Rebellion. I hope we can all be friends!"
--
"Wow, Cat's Eye, you have been doing excellently in my class!" Pearl complimented Cat's Eye as the aristocrat turned lawyer turned rebel took multiple selfies of herself in various outfits as a new student of Pearl's technology class. "Maybe a little too excellent. You know there's more to technology than just posting pictures online. It can also be used in various ways, mainly for informational purposes."
"Yeah, but my ways are much more fun." Cat's Eye said while handing her smartphone to Pearl. "Look! I got 15k followers across all my social media pages, and in such a short time too!"
"Wow, remarkable!" Pearl gasped in amazement. "Then again, I have seen many people online get that many followers just as quickly, perhaps even faster than you."
"Is that a challenge I hear?" Cat proclaimed as she dragged Pearl in for another selfie. "Here, let's take one together!"
--
"Now, Holly, don't scream for this part." Jasper urged his reluctant teaching assistant before launching her into the air and repeatedly smacking her with what Holly Blue thought was an infinite amount of roundhouse kicks.
"Make! It! Stop!" Holly Blue yelled with every kick to her face. "I! Hate! Every! Second! Of! This!"
"I said not to scream!" Jasper roared back as she finished kicking Holly and punched her to the ground, creating a large crater where Holly Blue lay unconscious. "Make another sound, or I'll show my students here what to do when an opponent tries to escape by begging for mercy."
"You're doing amazing, Jasp!" White Topaz cheered for her friend, causing Jasper to blush.
"Wow, this is so much fun!" Beryl cheered. "Can I give it a shot?"
"Sorry, kid, maybe when you make yourself a little taller." Jasper declined with a shake of her hair, much to Beryl's disappointment. "Look, I get you're eager and want to prove yourself, but maybe you should try some fighting that's more your style."
"I understand." Beryl politely nodded. "I never got a chance to prove myself back when I was an aristocrat. Everyone thought I was too much of a little kid to be taken seriously."
"And you still are!" Holly Blue groaned as she struggled to get out of the crater. "No one ever took you seriously because you're just an annoying child!"
"I know I am, but what are you?" Beryl responded sassily before slapping Holly Blue in the face, causing the other Gems present to cheer for Beryl and laugh at Holly's expense.
"I miss the good old days." Holly proclaimed wearily.
--
"Good, good." Lapis reviewed each of her students' sculptures. Albite had made a bust of herself, while Larimar created a big polar ice cap. "Nice work there, Cherry!" she complimented Cherry Quartz's sculpture. "And what do you have there, Aquamarine?"
"I have sculpted the truth." Aquamarine calmly declared as she presented a statue of Steven that made him look like he was on the verge of death. "I have sculpted my truth."
"Uh, any reason why Steven looks like he's dying?" Lapis asked nervously.
"I plan on using it to vent my frustrations against Steven." Aquamarine replied before taking one of the sculpting tools to cut Steven's face off with an evil grin on hers. "So therapeutic!"
"We should really get an onsite therapist." Lapis muttered to herself before turning to face Desert Glass and Serpentine. "So, what did you two come up with?"
"Using Glass's architectural genius and my regular genius, we made a perfect replica of Little Homeworld out of sand." Serpentine proudly declared.
"Are you impressed?" Desert Glass asked, just as confident.
"Yes, very!" Lapis replied in amazement as she examined the model Little Homeworld further. "Hey, you even got little versions of us, doing exactly what's happening right now." The tiny sand Lapis gazed up at the real Lapis in amazement before examining her small, sandy hands. "Okay, this got a little existential."
"Oy, they just don't respect art these days." Aquamarine groaned depressingly before she turned to find Eyeball and the other Rubies planting flowers with Peridot. "Oh, hey Eyeball! How's the infiltration going?"
"Infiltration?" Peridot asked. "What are you infiltrating, Eyeball?"
"Just infiltrating this class so I can get good grades!" Eyeball fibbed as she nervously glanced at Aquamarine behind her. "Yep, nothing suspicious!"
"Well, if you say so." Peridot shrugged before getting back to teaching the Rubies.
"You better not screw this up and turn on us." Aquamarine scowled at Eyeball while she returned to cutting up her voodoo Steven sculpture.
--
Once the Gems' school day began winding to a close, the students started milling about and conversing about their classes today. However, only one wasn't as social as the others, that, of course, being Black Rutile. She stood in the darkness cast by some buildings, scowling at the Gems she was forced to call her classmates while jotting down ideas for big-scale revenge plots on the holograms created by her visor. However, someone was there to quickly break her concentration.
"Whatcha doin'?" Beryl asked innocently, giving Black Rutile a spook before she looked down at the adorable green Gem beneath her. "Why are you standing here instead of talking with everyone else?"
"That's because I hate everyone else, little runt." Black Rutile growled. "How can I live with myself if I'm forced against my will to act like every other Gem in this repugnant, squalid concentration camp?!"
"What do those mean?" Beryl asked again, making Black Rutile's eyes widen at how little this Gem knew of the world around her.
"Well, repugnant is when something is utterly deplorable, squalid means incredibly dirty," Black Rutile reluctantly explained in the most condescending way possible. "and a concentration camp is where innocents are held against their will in very harsh conditions. Oh, crack, I can't believe I had to explain all that."
"Hey, Beryl, making new friends again?" Serpentine asked as she, Desert Glass, Tiger's Eye, and Albite approached Beryl and Tiger's Eye, only to recognize Black Rutile immediately. "Wait just a second, Black Rutile? Is that you?"
"Serpentine?" Black Rutile gasped in shock as she was joined by Aquamarine, Eyeball, Holly Blue, and Cat's Eye. "What happened to you? It's been ages!"
"The Diamonds have corrupted me!" Serpentine answered. "So, I hear you've been up to some rather shady stuff that landed you here, huh?"
"Shady might be selling it short." Eyeball answered. "How do you two know each other, my Rutile?"
"The two of us, along with Bloodstone, actually worked together on a few projects long ago." Black Rutile revealed. "The three of us were like the science equivalents to the Diamonds, since I worked under White Diamond, Bloodstone worked for Yellow, and Serpentine worked for Blue. Which reminds me, Serpy, are any of our old machines still around?"
"Unfortunately, I think some of them have been taken down for parts." Serpentine declared. "But fortunately, there are a few we couldn't finish that I think might be collecting dust in our old lab somewhere."
"Oh, really? Name one of them." Black Rutile continued asking, making Cinnabar very uncomfortable.
"Well, I think we couldn't finish the Vortexxer." Serpentine sweated nervously before she yanked herself away and walked off. "Well, I gotta go! Nice catching up with you!"
"What was that for?" Tiger's Eye asked Black Rutile.
"None of your beeswax, Tiger!" Cat's Eye yowled back while blowing cigarette smoke in Tiger's face.
"Oh great, you're here too, kitty cat." Tiger rolled her eyes at Cat and stuck her tongue out before picking up Beryl to take her away,
"Are you sure this Vortexxer wasn't made to murder people?" Desert Glass asked innocently, despite how violent her question sounded.
"I kind of doubt it." Albite replied as she and Glass were the last Gems to leave Black Rutile's group.
"Yeah, I kinda want to know too." Eyeball wondered. "What is the Vortexxer?"
"The Vortexxer was a portal to other universes that the Diamonds commissioned some of their greatest minds to build so they can conquer universes beyond the one we're familiar with." Black Rutile explained while presenting a holographic image of a large ring-like device containing a green-colored portal. "It's kind of a ring thing. Comes with a dialer. You hit the symbols, it spins around, and lights come on. However, the first prototype proved to the Diamonds that multiversal conquest would be too dangerous since some of the test subjects that went through the portal never came back."
"Are you insinuating that we complete this portal ourselves?" Holly Blue wondered. "What can this do for us?"
"Why yes, I'm surprised I didn't make it more obvious." Black Rutile stated. "If we work out the kinks and make it less hazardous, we can use the portal to create a bridge to other worlds with like-minded souls we can recruit to our cause."
As Black Rutile shut off the hologram and the Rutile Rebels separated, White Topaz quietly watched from afar and hid away as soon as Black Rutile turned to check if someone was listening.
--
Thus, we have our ongoing storyline for this season! Black Rutile's revenge plot this time involves the multiverse, which will culminate in Two Sides of the Same Gem, due to begin sometime in 2023. But in the meantime, you can expect the backstory of Bluebird Azurite, some episodes dedicated to Teal Zircon, expanding on the relationship between Jasper and White Topaz, a parody of The Big Lebowski starring Lapis, the return of Bane Jones in a special two-part episode, a pair of holiday specials for Halloween and Christmas, a human AU episode, and much more! This series should be fun to write, but I hope we can all have a good time with this one. See you all again soon, and happy birthday to our boy Steven Universe.

Review: Astrid & Lilly Save the World episode 3 'Amygdala'
Astrid & Lilly Save the World, created by Noelle Stehman and Betsy Van Stone, continues to be an exciting, well-written monster-of-the-week romp. Jana Morrison (Astrid) and Samantha Aucoin (Lilly) bring their characters to life wonderfully each week. This episode was directed by J Stevens and written by Alexandra Mircheff.
The character development sets this show apart from the crowd. Every character feels like a real person with nuance and their own hardships and unique personalities. Nobody feels restricted to a trope and is allowed to be a fully realized person, with complexity and individuality.
This episode 'Amygdala' continues to develop the monster-hunting world-building through more moments highlighting the dynamic between Brutus as portal guide to Astrid and Lilly. Olivier Renaud's performance is great and perfectly captures the fish-out-of-water comedic aspects with the mysterious aspects of his character.
Amygdala explores Astrid and Lilly learning how their new powers will continue to change. Showing the audience how these powers might not be as simple as we first expected is a great way to keep the audience engaged and looking forward to the future.
The over-the-top training exercises from Brutus and his sometimes cryptic notes about meeting places recalls the wonderful ABC Family series The Middleman. Astrid and Lilly are reminiscent of the apprentice Wendy Watson (Natalie Morales), who came face-to-face with unexpected monsters as she trained with the Middleman (Matt Keeslar). The training moments in Amygdala bring back happy memories of that series, while being its own delightful series with memorable characters and situations.
I love the monster-of-the-week genre and Astrid & Lilly does a wonderful job of telling its stories with a fun and endlessly entertaining tone. The monster of this episode attacks people with what they fear the most. This idea can be represented in predictable ways, and what makes Amygdala so good is how they veer away from the expected. When the vice principal/gym teacher Michelle Knight (Megan Hutchings) comes face-to-face with the monster, her fear is one of growing older. The manner the episode represents this is unique, creepy, with just the right amount of humor.
In addition to this exploration of fear, the episode touches on stage fright with Val (Christina Orjalo). I especially loved this moment and the quick flow between Val performing on stage into a chase reminiscent of the final girl in a slasher. Orjalo does a wonderful job each week portraying Val, and I enjoyed seeing more of her character in such a memorable moment.
The idea of focusing on our greatest fears works well, especially with how Amygdala subverts it in unique ways. I especially love the revelation of the monster's greatest fear. It's delightfully absurd and that works so perfectly in this series.
Amygdala also does a wonderful job of exploring unique fears of each character and using these moments to allow us more insight into the personalities and traumatic experiences of each character.
Astrid & Lilly is a wonderfully written show, and Amygdala is no exception. I especially love the small moments of character detail. When Astrid can tell that Lilly seems tired and under-the-weather, she asks if she was up late watching Xena. As someone who realized they aren't straight from watching Xena, this moment is especially perfect for Lilly.
In addition to having a great comedic tone, this episode of Astrid & Lilly explores serious topics in memorable and sometimes challenging scenes. The story this week about Sparrow (Spencer Macpherson) and Astrid being forced into attending a dangerous and damaging example of bible study is especially poignant. The way Christine practices faith like she is the second-coming having to rescue children by stripping them of their individuality hits so hard, especially in a series with LGBT characters front-and-center.
The slow build throughout the series so far of Christine's relationship with a being she refers to as an angel is haunting and balances the more absurdist humor moments of the series. Amygdala also gives more insight into Candace's (Julia Doyle) strained relationship with Christine, her mother.
Astrid & Lilly is the perfect example of what a monster-of-the-week show can be. Each episode blends its absurdist humor and heart with more challenging moments, allowing us to feel close to each character and care about their unique difficulties and hardships.

(Under the cut is my goodbye to Steven Universe that I wrote out earlier today.)
It's kind of hard to put into words how much Steven Universe means to me.
I still remember the day it premiered in England. I had seen ads for it on TV and in comics I got at that point (I actually thought Amethyst and Garnet were boys at first; oh how wrong I was). I remember watching Laser Light Cannon that day and just being blown away by the animation, backgrounds, music, story and characters. From that episode onward I was hooked. From that episode onward I loved Steven Universe.
I remember the day I first saw Steven the Sword Fighter and being so scared that Pearl had died. I remember the first time I saw Mirror Gem, all these questions about this mysterious new gem named Lapis Lazuli filling my brain. I remember going online to find songs and videos and clips from episodes that hadn't aired in the UK yet. I remember the day I discovered Garnet was a fusion from one of those 107 Facts videos. I remember the first time I heard Stronger Than You was from a YouTube cover. I remember the Summer of Steven, meeting Bismuth and hearing It's Over Isn't It for the first time. I was so in awe of that song I emailed a video of it to my sister saying it was the best song in the series. It's still one of my favorites.
I remember the night my sister and I discovered that Rose had shattered Pink Diamond. I remember the night I learned that the theory I thought up until that point was so ridiculous and impossible because there's no way Rose was actually Pink Diamond was true. I was speechless. I squealed at Ruby's proposal, I was stunned by the wedding episode, I drew fanart of White Diamond as soon as Legs From Here to Homeworld dropped on the app because I thought she was so creepy and cool, I was scared, overjoyed and just amazed at Change Your Mind that I thought "how is the sixth season even gonna work at this point." I remember seeing the movie when it premiered with my sister, just being so emotionally spent by the end of it and downloading the soundtrack on Apple Music the first chance I got. I remember the Future reveal and being so excited and so scared at the same time for what could possibly happen next. I remember whisper-screaming "holy shit" when Jasper was shattered.
I have so many memories and experiences tied to this show. When I discovered Peridot was my birthstone not only did she become my favorite character (she still is), but I made my own gemsona as well as ones for my sisters. I first envisioned one of my oldest OCs looking like Lapis. I’ve found ways for so many of this show’s songs to fit in my own projects. In one of my old sketchbooks there are at least two pages with just photos of backgrounds from Steven Universe glued on them because they inspired me so much. I started to understand what being LGBT meant thanks to Steven Universe. I watched countless fanmade videos back when I was first really getting into YouTube and dreamed of making my own someday. I don't think there's a show out there that has inspired me and made me as emotional as Steven Universe has, and there likely will never be one like it again.
I think it's safe to say Steven Universe has surpassed the original Powerpuff Girls as my favorite TV show of all time. I doubt there will be another show in the near future with the same level of music, story, characters, themes and animation as Steven Universe. I'm writing this the day before the finale airs so I have no idea what's coming or how it's going to end, but whatever happens I will always be thankful to this show and the people who worked on it for making the last seven years of my life a truly amazing experience.
To Rebecca Sugar, thank you for creating this show and taking me and many others on such a beautiful ride.
To Ian Jones-Quartey, Kat Morris, Jackie Buscarino, Hillary Florido, Lauren Zuke, Ellie Michalka, Jasmin Lai, Ben Levin, Matt Burnett, Jeff Liu, Katie Mitroff, Steven Sugar, Takafumi Hori, Kevin Dart, Lamar Abrams and the rest of the crew past and present, thank you all for everything you did to make this show as beautiful and compelling as it was.
To Zach Callison, Deedee Magno Hall, Michaela Dietz, Estelle, Grace Rolek, Tom Scharpling, Shelby Rabara, Jennifer Paz, Susan Egan, Patti LuPone, Matthew Moy, Kate Micucci, Charlyne Yi, Erica Luttrell, Kimberly Brooks, Lisa Hannigan, AJ Michalka, Uzo Aduba, Christine Ebersole, Sarah Stiles and the rest of the phenomenal cast, thank you for making these characters so memorable and their songs so powerful. I almost met Zach, Deedee, Michaela and Estelle at a con last year but was busy meeting other people and missed my chance. Maybe someday I'll get to meet them, as well as Shelby and Jennifer.
To Aivi & Surasshu, Aimee Mann, Mike Krol and everyone who contributed music, thank you for inspiring and moving me so much with the music you composed for the show and introducing me to musical styles I never really thought of before.
And last but not least, to everyone in this fandom, whether they make their own content or not, thank you. The show may be over but as long as we are all here loving it it will never truly be gone. I know there's plenty of fan content here to tide us over long after the finale.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Steven Universe for all that you've done for me and countless others.
I know I'll continue to believe in Steven for the rest of my life, and I hope you all do too.

Watch Free Movies and TV Shows Online You’re in the right place if you’re into love with watching movies. Movies and TV serials are a fun area where people love to spend their leisure time. Making a visit to the cinema or movie theatre sometimes seems like a waste f time and money. In such a scenario, streaming movies online is left as an option as it helps you not only save time and money but also make things convenient. Imagine life when you get to watch movies at your fingertips and for free. Watch a movie, drama or a serial. All of it at your comfort.
Along with that, complete information about TV shows is present on the site. That information is based on IMDB rating, director, release date, duration, synopsis of the episode, and cast. In short, it is regarded as one of the best websites to watch TV shows as well as movies from different origins.
Film is a work of art in the form of a series of live images that are rotated to produce an illusion of moving images that are presented as a form of entertainment. The illusion of a series of images produces continuous motion in the form of video. The film is often referred to as a movie or moving picture. Film is a modern and popular art form created for business and entertainment purposes. Film making has now become a popular industry throughout the world, where feature films are always awaited by cinemas. Films are made in two main ways. The first is through shooting and recording techniques through film cameras. This method is done by photographing images or objects. The second uses traditional animation techniques. This method is done through computer graphic animation or CGI techniques. Both can also be combined with other techniques and visual effects. Filming usually takes a relatively long time. It also requires a job desk each, starting from the director, producer, editor, wardrobe, visual effects and others. Definition and Definition of Film / Movie While the players who play a role in the film are referred to as actors (men) or actresses (women). There is also the term extras that are used as supporting characters with few roles in the film. This is different from the main actors who have bigger and more roles. Being an actor and an actress must be demanded to have good acting talent, which is in accordance with the theme of the film he is starring in. In certain scenes, the actor’s role can be replaced by a stuntman or a stuntman. The existence of a stuntman is important to replace the actors doing scenes that are difficult and extreme, which are usually found in action action films. Films can also be used to convey certain messages from the filmmaker. Some industries also use film to convey and represent their symbols and culture. Filmmaking is also a form of expression, thoughts, ideas, concepts, feelings and moods of a human being visualized in film. The film itself is mostly a fiction, although some are based on fact true stories or based on a true story. There are also documentaries with original and real pictures, or biographical films that tell the story of a character. There are many other popular genre films, ranging from action films, horror films, comedy films, romantic films, fantasy films, thriller films, drama films, science fiction films, crime films, documentaries and others. That’s a little information about the definition of film or movie. The information was quoted from various sources and references. Hope it can be useful.
❍❍❍ Formats Genres ❍❍❍ See also: List of genres § Streaming television formats genres Television shows are more varied than most other forms of media due to wide variety of formats genres that can be presented. A show may be fictional (as in comedies dramas), or non-fictional (as in documentary, news, reality television). It may be topical (as in case of a local newscast some made-for-television Streamings), or historical (as in case of many documentaries fictional Streaming). They could be primarily instructional or educational, or entertaining as is case in situation comedy game shows.[citation needed] A drama program usually features a set of actors playing characters in a historical or contemporary setting. program follows their lives adventures. Before 1980s, shows (except for soap opera-type serials) typically remained static without story arcs, main characters premise changed little.[citation needed] If some change happened to characters’ lives during episode, it was usually undone by end. Because of this, episodes could be broadcast in any order.[citation needed] Since 1980s, many Streaming feature progressive change in plot, characters, or both. For instance, Hill Street Blues St. Elsewhere were two of first American prime time drama television Streaming to have this kind of dramatic structure,[4][better source needed] while later Streaming Babylon 5 further exemplifies such structure in that it had a predetermined story running over its intended five-season run.[citation needed] In 2012, it was reported that television was growing into a larger component of major media companies’ revenues than Streaming.[5] Some also noted increase in quality of some television programs. In 2012, Academy-Award-winning Streaming director Steven Soderbergh, commenting on ambiguity complexity of character narrative, stated: “I think those qualities are now being seen on television that people who want to see stories that have those kinds of qualities are watching television.
Négy mindenre elszánt szociális munkás nőknek fenntartott hajléktalanszállót vezet. Állandó vendégeiket fürdővel és meleg étellel várják, valamint mindent elkövetnek, hogy segítsék az emberi méltóság megőrzését és a társadalomba való visszailleszkedést. Amikor az emberi tényezőt teljesen figyelmen kívül hagyó bürokraták ellehetetlenítik őket, hősiesen szövetkeznek, hogy a szabályokat áthágva segítsenek pártfogoltjaikon. Úgy döntenek, saját szakállukra tovább üzemeltetik a helyet, éjszaka menedéket nyújtanak, nappal pedig azon fáradoznak, hogy kiépítsék vendégeiknek a megfelelő szociális hálót. Magánakciójuk azonban nem maradhat örökre titokban. A láthatatlanok szeretnivaló karakterrel teli igaz történet, amelyben a profi színészek oldalán a hajléktalanok önmagukat alakítják. A film hazájában az év meglepetés sikere lett, eddig több mint másfél millióan látták.
❍❍❍ TV Streaming ❍❍❍ first television shows were experimental, sporadic broadcasts viewable only within a very short range from broadcast tower starting in 1930s. Televised events such as 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany, 19340 coronation of King George VI in UK, David Sarnoff’s famous introduction at 1939 New York World’s Fair in US spurred a growth in medium, but World War II put a halt to development until after war. 19440 World Streaming inspired many Americans to buy their first television set then in 1948, popular radio show Texaco Star Theater made move became first weekly televised variety show, earning host Milton Berle name “Mr Television” demonstrating that medium was a stable, modern form of entertainment which could attract advertisers. first national live television broadcast in US took place on September 4, 1951 when President Harry Truman’s speech at Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco was transmitted over AT&T’s transcontinental cable microwave radio relay system to broadcast stations in local markets. first national color broadcast ( 1954 Tournament of Roses Parade) in US occurred on January 1, 1954. During following ten years most network broadcasts, nearly all local programming, continued to be in black — white. A color transition was announced for fall of 1965, during which over half of all network prime-time programming would be broadcast in color. first all-color prime-time season came just one year later. In 19402, last holdout among daytime network shows converted to color, resulting in first completely all-color network season.

Spotify Link * YouTube Link * Link to fic
Like all fic I write, I came up with a playlist while I was writing the cinematics of semantics to help me structure and shape the different moods of the fic. There are twelve songs, two for each chapter and alternating between Angel and Blondie. Notes on how they relate to the fic under the cut!
***
When I saw the music video for Christine and the Queen’s Five Dollars I was quite early in to the 70s au, and immediately fell for the gloves that the singer wears in it, very much Angel Eyes. But of course, the song is first and foremost a peppy eager song about doing sex work. There’s a kind of flintiness and flirtiness that really captured the feeling of Blondie showing off on the ice for this mysterious man.
Devil May Dance I’ve put on a few playlists already, but it had the right distance from self to suit Angel Eyes lying awake in the ungodly early morning to curiously study the strange man that’s ended up in his bed. There’s a sense of wonderment in it that I really enjoy.
I always feel like Billy Joel, more than anyone else, is generic white North American music, ahaha. That suits Blondie, and The Stranger felt like the right choice to encompass his feeling charmed with slipping into Manco’s story. Just self contained and cool enough, but if you listen long enough you realize it’s also a little simplistic, rather than worldly? Anyways I’m awfully fond of Billy Joel tbh :)
Devil Like Me was the first song on this playlist I get hyperfixated on, with my thanks to @marmalated for the recommendation. As an Angel Eyes song I love the way this has dialogue with Devil May Dance, since the latter feels very emotionally distant from the idea of being a “devil” and this song feels like it’s genuinely asking “what’s a person as good as you doing with someone like me?”. That’s very much in line with Angel Eyes in Ch 2.
I had to have an appropriate grimdark song for the blood soaked horrors of Ch3, so I also used one of @marmalated’s recs, the unsettling tenderness of The Night.
The foil to it is as much about Rose as it is Angel Eyes. I thought Your Joy is My Low encompassed their high stakes, high tension battle of wits well.
Nightcall in it’s various covers has come up on many of my playlists. I believe it was @thatdeepandlovelydark who described it as Blondeyes on a car ride together at night? The repeating line “I’m going to tell you something you don’t want to hear” really captures Blondie’s need to come clean, or run off, or – he doesn’t know really. All he knows is he feels for Angel.
Angel’s art gallery visit has a really special place in my heart, because I tried to pull off such a scene way earlier in the first fic I ever wrote. All the Rowboats has a pervasive atmosphere of violence, of being trapped. There’s a strong element of that in Angel’s life, and in Ch4 with Manco, he’s starting to acknowledge that.
I did a bit of a reversal in Ch5, with the narrator of the story being in opposition to the one confessing. As a result, Agnes ends up being an interesting piece of slippage to add about Alma. As a song about Angel on Alma it fits pretty well, but some of the lyrics bleed over into romantic, and that feels like Blondie’s influence. “I wanna hold you like you’re mine” is a big feeling of his then.
Knight Moves was a recommendation from @thatdeepandlovelydark, and I immediately thought of the self contained elegance of Angel at the first line: “watch while the queen // in one false move // turns herself into a pawn”. The chorus evidently encompasses the difficulty Angel is having understanding not just that he has some kind of misplaced jealousy over Blondie’s ex, but more so that he actually does want Blondie to love him. He hadn’t fully accepted that.
@marmalated recommended Twins as a descriptor of this fic, which I still think suits well. But it also really captures the “middle of the night drive to Baton Rouge” where Blondie is coming to terms with the fact that he’s absolutely broken Angel’s heart, and has – no idea if he’ll ever go back. He doesn’t even know if it’s safe to.
It’s interesting to me how easy it is to ascribe soft elegant songs to 70s Angel, but then given what a sweaterboy he is maybe that’s not surprising. Should Have Known Better is his soft sad playout, as he gently chastises himself for having hope that he and Manco were anything more than a naive fantasy, and reflects on how the experience changed him. It will be two years before they see each other again.
Thanks for listening to the soundtrack of this crazy artful tragedy

My hero. My Love
@ashphoenix06 @nekob00 @honestlyitsjustkennaswriting @emma-wrote @goldenoceanarps
"Jackie, im not always going to be around to make you mad when you need to use your powers you know?"
"Marvin, i know! But you do it so well and i want to practice" Jackie laughed
The magician and the hero were in the backyard of their big house. Jackie was practicing his powers, throwing energy from his hands into his enemy, and Marvin is the one brother who knew how to push his buttons and help bring it out. Jackie hadnt *quiet* gotten it under complete control, but he was getting there.
'Cmon Jackie, im tired' Marvin said. 'Weve been out here an hour. And you singed my shirt dude'
'Ok ok, get your boxers out of a twist. Lets go inside' Jackieboyman said, laughing.
As they walked in they heard Jack and Chase talking. And then a female spoke
"Wait....is that?" Marvin said to Jackie
"...Christine?"
They both ran to the kitchen and slid to a stop.
Their brothers stood talking to a woman, about 5'4", brown hair to her shoulders. She turned as they came barreling in and laughed
"Marvin! Jackie! There yall are!'
Christine was a family friend of Jack's. Shed grown to love the Septic Boys and came to visit when she could and always commuicated with them, she knew about Anti, knew about Marvin's magic....however Jackieboy Man was something she didnt know about. Jackie didnt want her having that knowledge and being in a different city, he didn't want to take that chance.
This was a suprise though
"What are you doing here???' Jackie said as he picked her up into a hug
"Ah!" She squealed and laughed 'I had time off work and was bored. So here i am!'
She gave Marvin a big hug and they all went and sat down.
"How are you?! We missed you!" Jackie said. Hed always had a bit of a soft spot for Christine
"Im okay! Making it!" She laughed "I told Jack i was tired of seeing him on my computer and tired of only talking to yall on the phone. So, i said screw it. Im my own boss anyway, im taking vacation time!'
The five of them caught up, laughing and talking
*******
A few hours later it was just Christine and Jackie
"So, J you want to go grab something to eat?" Christine asked after the tv show theyd been watching was over
"Yeah. I can always eat!" He laughed. Lets go!'
She slipped her shoes on and they walked outside and headed for the diner that wasnt too far from the house.
As they walked Jackie studied her out of the corner of his eye. When did she get so pretty? Shed always been cute to him, but now she was just plain out pretty. She seemed...different
'So Christi...whatve you been up to? I havent been able to talk to you much except through text. You seem....different'
She smiled. "Yeah. I feel more relaxed. Ever since i finally published my book and got on the best seller list, i feel like i can breathe. Ive been doing book tours and all that, but im finally in a position that i get to make my own hours and take a break when i need too... Its good for the soul."
"Well. Relaxed looks great on you i have to say Miss Jaymes" Jackie said smiling
She laighed softly and he saw a hint of a blush creep across her face
"So. Have you thought about your new book?"
"No. I mean. I have one idea but...its dumb"
"Why? What is it?" Jackie asked curiously
"Youll laugh. I mean. Itd still be fiction, but based on someone real...."
"Oh? Who?"
She laughed and blushed crimson "okay okay. You know the hero Jackieboy Man that everyone talks about?'
Jackie stopped stiffly "uh...yeah. What about him?"
'Well, a few friends and i were having drinks and started throwing ideas around of like a comic or book with him in it. It be all made up obviously but... I dont know. I wouldn't want to get something wrong and offend him or anything, you know?" She laughed and they started walking again.
"Heh. Well. Im sure he wouldnt mind. Youre a really good writer....... Just give him a very pretty girlfriend" he laughed
Christine rolled her eyes and smacked him in the arm. "Typical man...oh theres the diner!"
They went inside and ordered. When the food came they ate and talked more. Jackie couldnt remember the last time he was so comfortable outside of the house.
When it cane time to leave Jackie got up to pay "oh no sir, this is on me!' Christine said standing up.
"Oh cmon Christi. No way"
"Yes way....if it makes you feel better you can buy me breakfast in the morning" she said and stuck her tongue out at him. He laughed and rolled his eyes
"Fine. But thats the last time you pay for my food'
"Yeah yeah. Ok." She laughed and walked uo to the counter. As she was standing there a guy walked up to her, Jackie kept an eye on him and watched as he got Christis attention. She hugged him so she seemed to know him at least. Jackie drank the last of his soda and stood up and walked over.
"Oh. Jackie! This is Steven. And old school friend of mine!"
The guy stuck his hand out and shook Jackie's
"Hey! Good to meet you...yeah me and Christi used to be stuck together at the hip!"
"Yeah...shes talked about you before" Jackie said
Jackie didnt know why, but he didnt like this guy. He make his hands tingle and he felt like his powers would shoot out if he didn't calm down.
"Hey Christi....ill be back. Im gonna go to the bathroom"
He went to walk away, then hesitated and as he stared at Steven he kissied the top of Christi's head,a normal sign of affection towards her, but this guy didnt know that so screw em.
In the bathroom he pulled his phone out and shot her a text 'hey...dont go anywhere with him. Ill be out in a minute'
He splashed water on his face and shook his head "Calm down man. Youre acting like a jealous boyfriend. " he scolded himself. He walked out of the bathroom and didnt see Christi or Steven anywhere. He walked outside quickly and his defenses went up....something was wrong...
"Christine???" He yelled out.... Then he heard something from the alley behind the diner. His heart dropped and he took off running in that direction, stopping at the corner of the building
"What the hell Steven?!" You cant just go to hug me goodbye and grab my ass! That's not how it works! You lost that privilege long ago when we decided to be friends and i was a teenager!"
"Oh cmon Chris, dont be such a stuck up bitch. I always used to smack your butt and you liked it!" Stevens voice made Jackies hair stand on end. Oh no. He didnt like him one bit
"Ok. And i was eighteen! Im freakin 30 now! Thats disrespectful as hell. I trusted you. Ive known you how long? We talk all the time and all of a sudden youre trying to make a move on me? Why would you do that?!" Christine raised her voice.
"Because it was a joke. I didnt realize you were such a fucking prude" Steven sneered
At that point Jackie had enough, he stepped from behind the corner, Christi's back was to him but Steven saw the supernatrual blue glow his eyes had taken on and he stopped "What the--"
"So...let me get this straight...because she doesn't want you to touch her without permission...shes a prude and stuck up?" Jackie said, his voice raspy as he tried to control himself, he blinked hard and his eyes returned to normal before Christi turned
"Jackie...I--"
"Nah. Thats not going to fly. See what youre going to do is apologize to her. Do you know how she talked about you man? You were like her big brother, when she talked about you it was about how much you had grown and changed from when yall were kids....and now you go and show what a shit person you really are...and its a joke?" Jackie said, stepping closer and closer to Steven until the other mans back hit the wall.
Steven could sense that even though Jackie was shorter than him, he had a power. He looked at Christi and stammered "i-im sorry. I shouldn't have touched you....it wasnt funny"
Christi had her arms around herself and tears in her eyes "Just go. Dont talk to me anymore...juat leave!"
Jackie watched at Steven took off out of the alley and then he turned to Christi
"Hey....you ok?" He walked over to her and reached an arm out to hug her but she flinched
"I-...i dont really want to be touched right now....can we walk home?'
Jackies arm dropped "yeah...yeah of course"
As they walked the road, he watched the moonlight play along her hear and face. After about ten mintues he stopped her
'Christi....are you...okay?'
She had her back to him and suprised him when she turned and buried her face in his chest and wrapped her arms under his. He just wrapped his arms around her and held her, stroking her hair as she cried, after a while he bent and picked her up bridal style and carried her the rest of the way to the houae and up to the porch swing. He sat down and she curled into his chest
"Why didnt i listen to you? He said he wanted to show me something funny on his phone.... And it was...it was.... '
She trailed off and cried again
"Christi...what hon?" Jackie asked slowly
"It was a...gross video...of him...with himself"
Jackie bristled at the thought of what she meant and clentched his teeth
"Did he....did he try anything else?'
"No...i just feel stupid for trusting him and for being upset because he didnt do much to me...."
Jackie pushed her forward some so he could look her in the face "Christi. No. He touched you without permission and showed you that video without your permission. Neither of those is ok. Of course you trusted him. Youve known him a long time...guys like that...hell people like that prey on the ones they think wont judge them....that they have gotten endless amounts of forgiveness from.... Its not your fault that hes a piece of crap. He just showed you his true colors and you finally took a good look at them"
He kissed her forhead
"That doesn't make you stupid. That makes you someone with a good heart... Naive maybe, but you try to see the good in everyone"
She smiled, head on his shoulder."Thanks Jackie.... I dont know what id do without you"
He chuckled "youd have to walk places on your own" he teased
They sat there in comfortable silence and she soon drifted off in his arms
Marvin walked out and saw them on the swing and touched Jackies shoulder "huh?" Jackie said quietly "oh..marv its you"
Marvin laughed. "Uh...everything ok?" He pointed at Christi who was asleep in his arms
"Yeah...long story' Jackie said. "I think i might be in trouble Marv"
"Why?? Are you hurt?" Marvin asked quickly
"No. Nothing like that...its just..... Really natural to have her here in my arms....i kinda don't want to put her down"
"Oh you mean youre finally admitted your sweet on her? Christ. Took you long enough" Marvin teased. "Now you just need to tell her"
"Yeah. But then id have to tell her everything and--'
"And? She knows about the glitch demon, she saw me do real magic with flames and all and didnt even blink.... I doubt it would phase her...hell she hangs out with Mark and his crazy ass egos all the time. Im pretty sure shes passed anything shocking her"
Marvin had a point....
After Jackie got her laid down on the couch and covered her up he made a pallet on the floor next to her and laid down. In the darkness he heard Christis voice
"Hey J....you awake?"
He sat up. "Christi...you ok?"
She smiled sleepily "yeah....i just wanted to thank you...for all of that and for sleeping down here with me... I feel safer with you around" she reached her hand down to his and squeezed it
Jackie reached over and brushed her hair from her eyes "hey Christi....?"
"Yeah j?"
"When you feel up to it.... Can i....nevermind"
She half sat up "can you what?" She asked
"Its stupid....but...i just...i really wanna kiss you...and i completely underatand if you dont want that i ju-"
His words were cut off my her hand being placed over his mouth
"Jackie....that is the sweetest thing anyone has ever asked... Actually" she smiled and in the faint glow of the streetlight shining into the living room he saw her blush "ive wanted you to kiss me way before now....i just never thought...well... I mean look at you! Why would i think youd kiss me?" She laughed
Jackie moved her hand "why the hell wouldn't i?? Youre freaking beautiful. An amazing person with a heart of gold...funny as hell.." He trailed off "why the hell *did* i wait so freakin long?" He said
She leaned forward and he did the same, cupping her chin and pressing his lips to hers softly
After a moment they pulled back and she smiled "hey...doesnt this pull out into a bed?"
He nodded "yeah. Why?"
"She stood up "i feel like id sleep better in your arms than just holding your hand from the floor" she laughed.
He laughed and stood up and they fixed the pullout with pillows anx blankets and laid down again, she curled into his side and lay her head on his chest. They whispered and laughed and kissed until she finally drifted off into his arms
******
The days passed, Jackie and Christi grew closer. She asked the guys if she coukd rent the spare room in the attic since the subject of her new book was from their city. Her editors loved the idea of a sort of published fiction about everyones favorite superhero.
Marvin was constantly on Jackie to tell her the truth. But covered for him whenever he would go on patrol. She never got too suspicious, believing them when they said he was with Jack helping with video filming. One night Jackie had gone out and Christi was in her room writing. She came down the stairs as Marvin was making some tea in the kitchen, he heard her grabbing her coat
"Hey Christi...where you off too?" He asked
"Oh. Im just going for a walk. Clear my head some, get rid of the writers block."
"You sure. Its pretty dark out there?"
"Yeah Marvin. Ill be fine, im not going too far, just over to the wooded place by the pond. I wont be long...Jackie should be back soon" she smiled and looked down at her watch
Marvin grinned "You two make each other really happy...you know? Hes lucky you came along"
She smiled "i think im the lucky one. But thank you. Its been a good 6 months"
She grabbed her phone and put it in her pocket, then walked out into the cool night.
As she walked she could see her breath in the air. It was chilly, but not overly cold. She walked a little ways and reached her bench she liked to sit in. Jackie had bought it and had it delivered after she saw it at a hardware store. It was big and sturdy, but comfortable. She closed her eyes and listened to the frogs and crickets.... Then her ears heard something strange....she listened again...there! It was a cracking...leaves under feet maybe?
She looked around and didnt see anyone. She turned back and screamed when she saw Anti sitting at the other end of the bench
Before it got completely out of her throat he grabbed her
"Shhhhhhhh" the glitch whispered "now now...dont want to alert the kitty cat do we sweetheart?"
Tears began to form in Christi's eyes
'Now. I just wanted to see my brothers new plaything" he spat out
He stood, bringing her with him and backed her into a tree "hmmmm....what does he want with you? " he stared into her eyes and she went to her knees as it felt like he was crawling into her skull
"Ahhh. There it is. .the damage.... Tsk tsk. Does Jackie know about this? Boy wonder would probably go running if he knew whatd been done to you...is that why you left your home? Came seven hours away to live in a house with a bunch of men you think can protect you?" He cooed as he read her mind and things that had happened.
Suddenly anti stepped back as Christi stood and stared him down "oooooh...stronger than she looks eh? No matter' he flicked his wrist and a red string wrapped around her neck and pinned her to the tree
"Now Christi Jaymes...do you really think that stupid book will fix you? Writing about Jackieboyman saving some poor girl from her stepbrother is gonna fix you? Thats been broken for fifteen years sweetheart. That part of you will never be whole.... Maybe you should have him save your heroine from the ex fiancee....the one who told her what to do, when to do it.... Who wouldnt let her piss without his say so?" He mocked as she began to tremble.
He stepped closer to her and was almost in her face when a blue light shot him backwards into the water
Clad in red and a blue mask Jackieboyman came sprinting down the hill and before Anti could get out of the water he met him head on, eyes blazing a blue fury and cussing him out loud.
As they fought Marvin ran to Christi and with a shot of magic cut the string around her neck, he checked the cut it left but it was only superficial. He tried to pull her away but she stood in awe as they fought. Both of their magic strong
Marvin had never seen Jackie's at this strength before. He watched as they went at it. Wishing like hell he could tell Christi hed be ok...but she didnt know his secret.
Jackieboy knocked Anti down and was about to deliver a final blow when the glitch disappeared completely
Well. That was a new trick.
Jackieboy turned to Marvin and Christi and smiled. Marvin turned toward the house as Chase exited calling out to him. As Jackie stepped forward he saw Christi's face drop in fear and she ran toward him
'What the--'
She shoved him out of the way as Antis knife cut through the air....and instead of landing in Jackie it was lodged in her side
Jackie caught her as she fell. Screaming for Marvin.
Marvin turned and saw what happened and shot a green bolt of magic at Anti at the same time Jackie shot his own. The power sent the glitch crashing through the bench and cracked into a tree. Coughing and bleeding from the head he spat out "this isn't finished!" And glitched out of sight
Jackie picked Alison up and ran for the house, screaming for Henrik. He and Marvin and Chase crashed through the back door. Her blood running over Jackies hands in into his suit
"Christi...hold on....hang in there baby girl" he begged her. Secrets be damned
Henrik ushered him into the basemet and to his makeshift hospital room. As much as he had to care for them he had most everything here for easy access.
"Place her der on ze table Jackie. I need to look at it before we pull it out, okay" the doctor asked. Trying to keep calm
Jackie nodded and laid her down gingerly and took a step back... Schneep...she'll be ok right? Shes gonna be ok??"
"Ill take care of her Mein Bruder.... But right now i need you to step out and let me do my job.... Go ait and get zomting to drink...you look like youre going to vall over'
Marvin grabbed Jackies shoulders and steered him out of the basement and up to the kitchen. Jackie sat there, shaking as Chase and Marvin darted around him making tea and trying to wipe the blood from his face and check on him. The hero just stared at the wall. In shock....then looked down at his hands and began to tremble harder and fell to his knees and cried and howled in a kind of pain Marvin had never heard come from a human before.
Chase went to his knees beajde his and wrapped him tightly in a hug "hey. Jackie...its gonna be ok bro. I promise. Henrik is the best. You know that. Shes gonna be ok. Shhhhh" he smoothed his brothers hair and rocked back and forth.
Marvin called Jack who had JJ with him and they rushed over. All sitting in the kitchen. Taking turns on making jackie something to drink. Or eat. JJ signing funny jokes to try and make him smile and distract him....the five of them sat there for what seemed like years until Henrik opened the door
Jackie jumped from his seat "Is she....?"
Henrik placed his hands on his brothers shoulders
"Didnt i tell you i vould take care of her? She will be fine, the knife didnt damage any major arteries. She wilk be good as new in no time" he smiled tiredly at Jackie
Jackie went to race passed him to see her and Jack called out 'Arent you going to take off your suit?!"
"Fuck keeping secrets. I need to see my girl" Jackie called out as he bounded down the steps, mask hanging around his neck
Christi lay sleeping on the bed. His heart caught in his throat by how beautiful She was. Even with bruises around her throat from that asshole....
She stirred and opened her eyes and seemed confused for a minute and then smiled
"I knew it was you" she whispered and reached her hand out to him. He stepped forward and dragged the chair to her side and grabbed her hand
"What do you mean baby girl?" He asked smiling
"I knew you were my favorite hero all along...and when you smiled at me right before he.... I just knew it was you"
"Im sorry i didnt tell you...i just"
She waved her hand "no no. I get it. I know you wanted to protect me"
"Yeah. Lot of good that did" he said bitterly "why woukd you do something so crazy woman' he asked her, brushing her hair from her forehead
"Because.... I knew it was you....and i couldnt let him hurt you.... I love you too much" she said
The words hit him like a truck "you...you love me?"
She smiled "well. I dont take knives in the side for guys i just kinda like dummy'
He laughed and kissed her forehead "i love you too Christi...so much...now get some rest."
She scooted over to the other side of the bed, injury near the edge and said "come lay with me?"
He happily obliged and she fell asleep in his arms
******
6 months later
*****
"Jaaaack" Christi asked "why wont any of you tell me whats going on?"
She walked down the stairs in her dress and shoes Jackie had left on her bed. It was their one year anniversary and she had no idea where he was. Jack, JJ, Marvin, Chase and Henrik stood in the living room and all smiled when she walked down, clearly knowing something she didnt.
"What?!' She asked exasperated
Marvin laughed "Now Christi. Dont try and ruin it. Just enjoy the fun. Go outside. He'll be here in a minute." And with that the five men left the room and walked to the kitchen. She watched them go and rolled her eyes
"Yeah. Ok" she grumbled. Ahe walked to the front door and opened it. She was greeted by 24 long stemmed roses along the railing and when she turned to the left Jackie sat on the porch swing smiling. Her heart jumped at how handsome he was with his hair pulled back and a button up shirt on.
'Jackie" she said quietly. There were candles on the porch and her boyfriend stood up and smiled at her.
"Cmere. Let me kiss you" he said smiling. She walked over to him and he kissed her deeply. Then pulled back. "Happy anniversary beautiful" he said to her smiling
"Baby. You didnt have to do all this"
He smiled and sat on the swing and she sat beside him " you know" he said "This is where i was when i first told anyone i thought i loved you...it was that night...Marvin walked out here and you were asleep and i told him i thought i was in trouble because of my feelings" he chuckled and turned to her and grabbed her hand
"A year ago i held you for the first time, it was so natural. You fit with me perfectly. I didnt know how much youd mean to me though. I thought i cared about you then...but its nothing compared to now. Somehow you fit seamlessly into my crazy world with my crazy family and never blinked an eye... Baby girl im so lucky to be yours"
Christi smiled and ducked her head "oh Jackie. Im the lucky one. You saved me literally and figuratively... And the guys are like family to me. I love them to death. Im just happy to be able to be here with all of you."
Jackie cupped her chin and kissed her softly, she didnt notice his other hand reaching to his pocket.
"Christi Jaymes.... I love you more than i thought possible....and you're the only one i want to hold the rest of my life..."
With that he dropped to his knee in front of her and opened the box revealing a diamong ring
"Will you do me the honor of making me the haooieat man alive and be my wife?" He asked shakily
Inside the house the Septic guys were pressed against the window and cracked open front door "i didnt know if he was going to get it out!" Jack whispered laughing
Christi began to cry and nodded "oh my god! Jackie! Of course! yes yes yes!!" She cried and Jackie slipped the ring on. With that the boy bolted out the door cheering and hugged them both and congratulated them. They all celebrated with whiskey and cake and got stuffed.
******
Later, lying in bed Christi looks at her ring and then at Jackie "you really want to marry me?"
He laughed "hell yes i want to marry you, crazy girl. I love you!"
She smiled "good. Because youre stuck with me now hero boy.... I love you too" she kissed him deeply and he reached over and switched off the lamp, grateful for the distance from his brothers rooms tonight.

ER
This is a no power AU with Stephen in his usual surgeon role, and Tony as his usual engineer/ CEO self. This is quite Stephen-centric and follows him though a bad day at work with some Tony at the end. Somewhat inspired by that one Grey’s Anatomy episode where Bailey get stuck doing surgery on that Nazi asshole. (Also, as always when I write him Stephen is Nepali).
Stephen hates working in the ER but Christine insists that he pull some hours there. Truthfully he only does it out of respect for Christine, but respect for her doesn’t mean that he has to like it. Nick comes running up and Stephen rolls his eyes, prepared for yet another wrong diagnoses that he will have to fix when he stops in front of him, huffing. “There’s been a nasty accident not far from here. We’re about to get flooded so I suggest making sure there are OR rooms free,” he says.
“I already know which ones are free,” Steven tells him. “Because unlike some people I do my job,” he adds under his breath. Nicky gives him an annoyed look but says nothing as Stephen goes to make sure the supplies they will need will be within easy reach and, true to Nick’s word, the hospital is flooded less than fifteen minutes later. He works mostly methodically, most wounds are superficial in nature, but when Christine calls him over to work on someone else he’s relieved. If she’s called him over than she’s got something more his speed and he’s damn tired of stitching whining people.
When he gets there though Christine looks right irritated. He raises an eyebrow and she makes an annoyed noise, “he wants a guy- his spine is a mess and he won’t let me treat him because I’m a woman.” Her distaste and disgust is clear and frankly Stephen is surprised. Hospitals don’t tend to be places where people care about that kind of thing- the sick don’t get the luxury of deeply held prejudice but this guy is apparently steadfast clinging to his.
“You know I can hear you, right?” the patient tells presumably Christine but its Stephen who responds.
“Something tells me she doesn’t give a damn,” Stephen says, coming up behind the patient and examining what Christine had called a mess and frankly that was being polite about it. “I’m assuming you were in one of the cars closest to the initial crash, then?” he asks. Nasty pile of cars after one spun out and hit another, they think, but the results are bloody nonetheless.
“Yeah,” the guy mumbles.
“Unlucky,” Stephen murmurs more to himself than the patient and in the chaos his comment gets lost anyways. He asks a few more routine questions, figuring out the best course of action, before he cuts the man’s shirt carefully to get a better look at the damage. When he catches the snatch of ink its not really unusual- tattoos are especially popular for young people- but something makes him cut a little higher than he needs to.
His eyebrows fly up and across the room its like Christine knows to look up because they make eye contact. He jerks his head, gesturing for her to come over and she does, reluctantly. When she sees the tattoo her jaw drops and Stephen snickers a little. Fucking idiot has no idea that Stephen isn’t white- he came up from behind and thanks to his deep voice and lack of an accent this moron had assumed he was white. Or at least given the rather large swastika on his shoulder he assumes the patient thinks he’s white.
“If you’re not comfortable-” Christine starts but Stephen shakes his head.
“Are you kidding me?” he hisses, “this idiot has no idea I’m not white, this is hilarious.” Christine looks confused, very confused, but Stephen has always delighted in making a fool out of people with stupid, pseudoscientific beliefs and this is no exception. So he’ll continue to do as much work as possible before his patient catches on to the fact that Stephen is very much Asian.
Christine shakes his head at him and walks off. “Uh, everything alright back there?” the patient asks and Stephen snorts. Not even remotely, the fact that this guy isn’t dead or even unstable momentarily is a god damn miracle. Or, more likely, indicative that something else is wrong and he can’t see it yet.
“Nice tattoo,” Stephen says in a pleasant tone that his idiot patient assumes is approval if his response is any indication.
“Oh I... wouldn’t have figured someone here would understand,” he says eventually.
Stephen lets out a small laugh, stepping around the bed and into the patient’s view. “Oh I can’t say I understand,” he says, pleasant smirk on his face. The patient jerks and Stephen almost winces for him given the circumstances but its his own racist opinions that did that to him. Stephen would lower the dosage of his pain killers too if not for a potential malpractice suit. He’s sure it wouldn’t matter in the end, Tony has the best lawyers money can buy and he’s hardly short on cash himself, but he figures its best to play this right. “If you’d like I can grab a white man,” he says, same pleasant tone in his voice and the patient looks damn confused but Stephen knows exactly what Nick will think of this. The man doesn’t work well when uncomfortable- a bad trait for a doctor.
He goes off to fetch Nick, sending him over to the Nazi while he goes back to stitching patients who are whining more than usual. Ugh. If only he could be a doctor without the whole ‘dealing with people’ thing. Christine says its impossible but Stephen firmly believes in medicine without people. Let robots gather their symptoms, he can deal with them after they’re knocked out.
“Stephen,” Nick says from behind him and he turns, dropping his tools in the small tray sitting beside him. “I can’t... that guy... he’s a Nazi Stephen, I can’t work on that.”
He raises an eyebrow, “and you’re talking to me because?” he asks even though he knows where this is going.
Nick sighs, looks away with a clearly conflicted look on his face before he turns back. “I know this is profoundly selfish to ask but...” his words cut off and he looks away again.
Stephen gets the point anyways. “Fine then, I’d appreciate you in the operating room though. I’m not certain Christine will be able to resist killing the man and someone should keep her from doing so,” he says, walking swiftly away.

Its almost twenty seven hours later when he finally gets done with the surgery. He’d been right about not seeing everything that was wrong, the guy almost died four times, but Stephen managed to save his ass while both Nick and Christine watched in utter confusion as he did his best to save a Nazi’s life.
Tony meets him outside and he all but collapses onto him, which probably isn’t fair since he’s nearly a foot taller than the poor man but he handles it well. “I am ready to die,” Stephen mumbles into the top of Tony’s head.
“Yeah,” Tony says from underneath him, “I kind of got that memo. Guess surgery went badly?” he asks, hedging his bets Stephen guessed. He’s never taken surgeries gone wrong well, not that they happened often, but this isn’t that.
“Oh it went fine. The patient almost died four times but he’s fine. That’s not what’s on my mind though,” he says, pulling away to stop squishing his poor partner. Tony frowns, eyebrows drawing together in confusion. God, he’s beautiful- dark features and fair skin, its a stunning combination. It helps that Tony is like him in a lot of ways and the ways in which they differ aren’t differences that draw them apart like they had with him and Christine.
“Are you okay?” Tony asks, reading what Christine and Nick hadn’t been able to on his features.
“I’m fine, Tony. Mostly. But the man I just saved is a Nazi.” Tony looks almost more disgusted than Christine and Nick had when they discovered that fun fact.
“You should have let him die,” he says in a harsh, unforgiving tone but Stephen knows if it came down to it Tony wouldn’t have killed the man. But he probably wouldn’t have done what Stephen did either. He’s far far less vengeful than Stephen is.

There days when Tony doesn’t understand Stephen- they’re rare, but they happen. And usually when he’s confused Christine can fill him in, but this time they’re both at a loss as they watch Stephen fuss over the man who clearly wants Stephen the hell away from him. It disgusts Tony to watch the way the guy fucking cringes every time Stephen comes near him when he saved that piece of shit’s fucking life but Stephen doesn’t seem to react at all.
“I don’t understand that,” Christine murmurs, “I thought he was an asshole for requesting a male doctor. Turns out he was worse.”
Tony shakes his head, “if I were you I would have make it look like an accident,” he murmurs.
“I was almost sure that’s what Stephen was going to do, almost perfect record be damned, but I swear he tried harder to not let him die,” Christine says. She’s baffled and frankly so is Tony. Its not like Stephen could possibly have any love for Nazis but their Nazi friend decides to ask for the both of them.
“Why are you doing this?” he asks eventually, flinching as Stephen continues to ensure he’s not about to die or whatever other doctor things he’s supposed to look for. Tony shakes his head, clenching his jaw at the utter disrespect. Its painful to watch Stephen get treated that way. Tony hopes Stephen lowers the dosage on those pain meds.
Stephen stops for a moment and looks down at the man in the bed before he lets out a soft, cruel smile. “I thought about letting you die- I’ll be honest and say the world would be better for your loss. Not that I’d even call it that much. But then I thought why kill him when you can get revenge? So I kept you alive, I worked hard to do it too, and I did it because there is nothing more satisfying to me to know that for a man like you having an Asian man and a woman save his life is a fate worse than death. Every time you even think you’re superior or better you’ll have to remember my face, my race, and know that the only reason you even have a thought in that vile mind of yours is because I allowed it to happen. Welcome to your waking nightmare every day for the rest of your shitty life, asshole. I am infinitely pleased to have delivered you here,” Stephen tells him in a low, threatening tone.
Tony and Christine share a surprised look, “remind me not to piss him off,” Tony tells her.
She swears under her breath, “no shit. I knew he was spiteful but wow, that’s a new level even for him.”
“Still think the Nazi was better off dead,” Tony mumbles. But he has to admit Stephen’s creative method of revenge is... well, creative.

Tony doesn’t understand Stephen’s love for watches, they’re utterly useless, but he deserves something after that Nazi fiasco so Tony and Christine hunt down a couple rare, expensive watches for gifts. Stephen raises an eyebrow when Tony hands him the box with their spoils in it but the absolute delight on his face when he finds the watches inside is so worth the price he paid for them.
“Thank you,” Stephen says, pulling a Rolex out of its box. “I’ve been lusting after this for years but its always been just a little out of my price range.” And he’s terrible with money, Tony knows. It goes out almost faster than it goes in. But he deserved a nice gift and Christine happened to remember what it looked like when Tony only remembered that it was a Rolex. Between the two of them they managed though.
“I thought you should get a little something nice, you’ve had a stressful few weeks,” he says, wrapping an arm around Stephen’s waist.
Stephen leans down and kisses his temple, “having you around always makes things better. And I guess you too Christine,” he adds in a far less loving tone.
Christine rolls her eyes, “typical,” she says, shaking her head fondly.
