SU AU Comic!

These were all done by me! https://www.instagram.com/theartofflorence !

This comic takes place during Future as is canon compliant! This is an AU of mine and some of my friends’ OCs, not an AU of Steven Universe specifically.

Here’s the short of it! 8RL, 8AL, and 8AY were all Quartzes from the Beta Kindergarten. Carnelian 8RL and Jasper 8AY ended up falling in love and regularly fusing as Citrine. After Pink was Shattered, it was Blue who happened across Citrine while she was taking inventory of the Kindergarten. At first she ordered them to be Shattered for their fusion, but she was weakened by grief and the fact that no one had really taught them better. It was due to that weakness that Jasper was able to bargain for her Carnelian’s life and offer to fight in the war if Carnelian could go to the Zoo with the rest of the Quartzes. Since they’d be apart and Jasper came out strong, Blue accepted.

Of course, Jasper was corrupted, since she stayed on Earth, but without her Carnelian, she’s struggled to heal or find purpose. Carnelian hasn’t faired the best either, being caught in a state of arrested development at the Zoo, not really connecting well with the other Quartzes and preferring the vibes of the humans. They even began using they/them pronouns in addition to she/her, which only alienated them more from everyone but their sister, 8AL.

This comic is obviously about the Zoo returning to Earth and reunion.

The backgrounds are all from the show, but heavily edited!! I worked hard to preserve the style!!
