Summary
When Steven was a baby, Pearl removed the gem on his belly and changed everything. Raised with the knowledge that he's a Diamond with the fate of the world on his shoulders, Steven struggles to keep himself apart from humanity and be the empire-ending leader everyone tells him to be.
But all that changes when he meets Connie Maheswaran, a lonely local high-schooler who craves magic and adventure, who sees through his overconfident facade to the gentle boy buried beneath. As their lives wind tighter together, she gives him hope that he can be the person he longs to be, and that an alien empire can be toppled without a war.

Summary
Power, perfection, authority: the mantra of the immutable Gem Empire, its will a palpable force holding the infinite masses in check. Difference, disobedience, inadequacy: a death sentence to any fool enough- or unfortunate enough, to be found out. On Earth, a song and dance and heartfelt plea might have won over tired, derided gems, the loyalty woven into their very souls worn thin by the endless ages, but Homeworld is not Earth. And for Steven, torn away from those he loves and trapped in a rose-tinted cage, forced into the image of a mother he never knew, it is nothing short of a nightmare.
Still, more lurks beneath the pristine guise of Homeworld than could ever be expected, and Steven may yet find himself the kingpin of an age-old scheme, caught in the crux of powers beyond his comprehension. Perfection is, after all, only skin deep.Bookmarked by Copperpot44
