“No, no fighting!” Steven cried as the battle began. Normally it seemed like his pleas in this group had the uncanny ability to make the Crystal Gems do what he asked without question. This time, however, the effect was lost. The two Pearl halves exchanged blows as if it hadn’t spoken at all. He started … Continue reading

Two Paths (Chapter 12, Fission)
Pearl talked to mirrors. Any time she passed one, any chance she got. This was because seeing two of herself made her more comfortable with the idea that… well, now she really had two of herself. It had been six weeks since her personality had been split in two — each side becoming its own … Continue reading
Peridot the Spy (Chapter 13, Fission)
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
An Old Friend (Chapter 14, Fission)
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
Worth Considering (Chapter 15, Fission)
“This is nothing short of infuriating.” For someone who was supposedly infuriated, Nephrite’s tone remained the picture of calm. Yellow Pearl had taken not to responding to her words unless they were a direct order, and it seemed to be working okay so far. But now that they had landed on Earth, things got a … Continue reading
Misguided (Chapter 16, Fission)
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
Encounter (Chapter 17, Fission)
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
Corruption (Chapter 18, Fission)
Peridot had to give Steven credit for one thing: he didn’t give up, even on an enemy. The Pearl’s sleeves and upper back glowed as she was pulled into the fusion, but Steven charged forward with neither regard for own safety, nor common sense. “You let her go!” he yelled, throwing his shield at the … Continue reading
Yellow Pearl’s Bargain (Chapter 19, Fission)
“So, you guys took a prisoner,” Lapis said. She tilted her head at Yellow Pearl, who was still unconscious, but was now unconscious on top of a pile of blankets in front of the meep morp display. Lapis narrowed her eyes a bit and her lips turned up in an only-slightly-devious smile. “Cool.” “For the … Continue reading
Alone Time (Chapter 20, Fission)
Steven didn’t know how it was possible to feel so many different feelings at once. On one hand, he was insanely excited. He and Amethyst were finally about to introduce Smoky Quartz to Pearl and Garnet. On the other hand, he felt guilty. He still hadn’t told Coral or Sea Glass about the bracers he’d … Continue reading
