Three years later… Kuvira was defeated. Everyone knew it had been coming. The Earth Kingdom was too vast, too varied, too enormous for even the great uniter to pull it together. But Eli didn’t really care about the Earth Kingdom’s fate. His only disappointment lay in the fact that Kuvira had not had the chance … Continue reading
Following Peridot’s minor incident in the kitchen, Pearl banned her from the premises starting the previous day and going forward until the end of time. Peridot was 97% sure Pearl was not being metaphorical. And while watching Camp Pining Hearts marathons with Lapis did provide some distraction, Peridot found herself obsessing over the first (and … Continue reading
It was nighttime when Steven snuck out of the house with Lion. He felt a little bit bad about it, but at the same time, he didn’t feel like going back and explaining himself to the Gems, either. There had been something off about Pearl on the beach today. Even before Peridot had revealed her … Continue reading
Korra stirred in the middle of the night. She was pretty sure she’d heard arguing. No one argued in her dreams. Either she didn’t remember them at all or she dreamed of someone trying to kill her. Her brain didn’t have much middle ground. “Oh, and that’s going marvelously well, isn’t it?” The voice was … Continue reading

Pearl still couldn’t believe it. Even after having a lengthy conversation and walking all the way to the old forge, she simply couldn’t believe that Bismuth was back with their group. Her mind swelled with excitement as Bismuth examined Amethyst’s whip for ways to improve it. In Pearl’s giddiness, she had even come close to … Continue reading
Funny, Zuko assumed after having his bending switched around twice now, the third time the sensation wouldn’t be nearly so strange. It was still pretty unsettling. But this time around, it was also comforting. The strange presence of the lightning he had been clawing at the back of his brain suddenly left him, and it … Continue reading
Peridot had grown frustrated with a great number of things on Earth, but she had to say that securing forgiveness from Pearl had to be one of her most difficult challenges to date. It was systematically unfair. Pearl and Amethyst were talking again like nothing had ever happened. Peridot suspected it had a lot to … Continue reading
There was a knock at the door while Zuko was eating. He’d been taking all his meals in a private room, and he’d made it perfectly clear that he wanted no one else in said room except whichever servant happened to be assisting him. So the knock, short of being some kind of dire Fire … Continue reading
