Plot Bunnies

Writing a story is like owning a bunny. A plot bunny, that you love and nurture and watch grow like the proud parent you are. Then maybe, you get another bunny once that story is finished. The two plot bunnies look so cute together, and for just a moment maybe you turn your back. 

There’s three bunnies when you turn back around. The new one is so little, so adorable and fluffy you think that it couldn’t hurt to keep it. There’s four bunnies the next time you turn around. Then five and six and soon you’re buried under all the little WIP baby bunnies. And just when you’re almost free, when you think you’ve got them wrangled and finished or re-homed...

Another little bunny is waiting. Sitting innocently with big hopeful eyes and silky ears and it’s just too precious. And so the circle of writing goes on.

Summary:  Longing is a powerful word and an even more powerful emotion. Bottle it up for long enough and even the strongest heart will eventually cave, reaching for it's desire no matter how far it must go to grasp it.

It started with a kiss, the beginning of an end. A hidden ember of affection, tucked away in the ashes of a fire that had burned out but was still being tended with care. All his best intentions, self restraint and a repeated mantra to be content with what he had went up in smoke the instant his lips made contact.

First fic posted to AO3 for awhile, I’m pleased to be getting back into the writing world with this little oneshot. Big thanks to my beta @gay-harambae for helping me with this, I look forward to working with them on other fic’s.

My first set of Sapphire fan gems, Midnight and Padparadscha! They make up a permafusion called Mystic Sapphire who I will post next, but first some info about these two.

Midnight Sapphire is of Pinks court, made during era one. Her gem sits just below the hollow of her throat.

Her personality is both haughty and meticulous, she knows her higher status and enjoys the perks that come with being Her Clarity for her diamond. However, she also desires to be more individualized, to be Important for more than a normal Sapphires role. Which is what draws her down an otherwise impossible path when she encounters the defective orange sapphire.

Padparadscha Sapphire is also of Pinks court, made near the end of era 1 and would never have been allowed to exist if not for Midnight's intervention. Her gem sits at the back of her neck.

Her personality originally was sweet but cautious, unfortunately however she never had a chance to develop the kinder portions of who she was due to the reactions of the other gems around her when she emerged.

An off color, she came out as close to a Proper sapphire as she could in appearance. The details not to mention her color gave her away however, and when it became apparent she had no future vision, the Peridot in charge of her kindergarten was ready to write her off as a harvest loss.

As the order was given, instead of her future where she would be shattered, Padparadscha instead saw the Peridots past, and all the orders of similar nature that had sent gems to their fates. Including one where the gem had not in fact been shattered but cracked, and fled before the process could be finished.

In desperation the off color recounted her vision, and the truth of that botched shattering. The peridot summoned Midnight to see whether or not this odd power would be of any use, and the other sapphire delighted in the oddity and Uniquenes of the other gem.

This taught Padparadscha that manipulation, and what she Knew was important, and that only by sticking with Midnight Sapphire would she be tolerated.

Midnight brought the defective sapphire before Pink diamond and proposed that they 'combine' their powers into something far more powerful. Not 'fusion' in a sense as that was forbidden between two different gems, but combination of the same type to make a stronger version.

Pink diamond agreed, and the two fused to create Mystic Sapphire, the Seer of Past Truths and Predictor of Futures.

A break from Pearl's for my first 'Diamond' fangem, a Synthetic Star Diamond for the star gem contest of ice-fyre.

Power: Tendrils that come from her gem and take control over poofed gems own powers, requires her to wear them as 'jewelry', as long as she wears them they cannot reform but they are concious/aware. She can use up to three gems powers at a time.

Backstory: a cubic zirconia that was dislodged from her original injection point by an earthquake and fell into a much deeper part of the earths crust, where she absorbed bits of actual diamond in the extreme pressure she developed in. An overcooked gem, with only partially actual gem material she emerged nearly a thousand years late to an almost empty Kindergarten and a terrified peridot, who she was forced to poof before the alarm could be raised. Taking the poofed gem in her fear and with the peridots words 'synthetic' and 'unnatural' running through her mind Star "Diamond" fled into the chasm left by the earthquake that caused her creation to hide.

While in hiding she discovered that her power allowed her to tap into the gem she had poofed, giving her access to the peridots memories and own powers as long as she was in contact with the gem. Thusly armed with all the knowledge of a seasoned kindergartner including the strengths and weaknesses of the various gem cuts she left her place of refuge in search of some of the other 'unnatural' and 'defective' gems that the peridots memories had shown her.

Her first encounter with the gems she searched for was a private execution. The gems on trial were charged with fusion, and using the peridots power Star managed to rescue the pair and poof an agate that she added to herself the same way as the peridot.

Fusion fascinates the 'diamond', but due to perhaps her mostly synthetic gem or even the number of poofed but aware gems she links herself to, she is unable to fuse and this grieves her. Her current mission is to collect as many gems as she needs for her 'necklace' and to rescue other defectives.

Design notes: Going for a Ball joint Doll asthetic to fit the fact that she isnt technically a real gem, the top of her head would hit about Blue Diamonds upper arm.

"Exciting news! A string of Freshwater Pearl's has finished incubating and are going through final quality tests. This little preview is to show off the wide range of colors. Not all of them have perfectly round gems, but they are no less lovely than our salt waters."

"None of these darlings have formed physical bodies as of yet, so if any discerning gems would like to submit outfits or hairstyles, or purchase a pearl before they form, changes to their physical bodies can of course be made to accommodate their owners tastes."
