This is my first fic so the start might be a bit rough. I love this couple a lot and I had to write about it. This is sort of an au that takes place after "Chille Tid" where Lapis and Jasper defused. If you have any suggestions or constructive criticism please comment. Later chapters will be way longer, this is just to get started. I hope you enjoy!
Peridot grunted as she lifted herself onto her elbows. Rubbing her aching head, the gems wary eyes fluttered open, her blurry vision begun to make out the shapes of branches and rocks. Rain and wind whipped around her cheeks, the loud whistling fueled the migraine that grew in her head.
Peridot struggled to push away the branches that had been tangled around her torso and limbs, managing to break free after a moment. In the gems haze, Peridot crawled out of the pile of debris she was caught in. Large drops of rain began to soak the green gem as she shook the haziness from her vision.
The gem sat in a field just outside Beach City, surrounded by debris that had been dragged by the strong winds. A storm raged on above Peridot, sending a wet gust across her face. Struggling to stand, Peridot wobbled on her feet. Her clothes clung to her lean form and the wind pressed against her back.
Peridot groaned as she stumbled onto her feet, heading towards Beach City. Her body ached more than it ever had before. The green gem wasn't sure what she'd do when she reached the city, but she could find somewhere to take shelter. Peridot slowly made her way down into the city, wobbling and slipping more than once.
When she reached Beach City, Peridot was exhausted and crawling on her hands and knees through the overflowing streets. In her haze Peridot found her way into the old warehouse. Panting, the green gem pulled herself out of the rain. Peridot lay on the hard ground, listening to the sounds of the wind, rain, and the occasional thunder. Her clothes were drenched and water began to form a puddle around her body.
Peridot groaned as she stared at the wall opposite to her. The gems neon green eyes began to close as she drifted off into a deep sleep.
Peridot woke to the muffled sounds of voices, birds chirping, and the crashing of waves. She couldn't recognize the voices right away, her mind was still fuzzy from sleep. The gems eyes were still sealed shut. Peridot rolled over and moaned quietly, as if to shoo whomever away. The sounds of foot steps leaving the warehouse and chatter flooded her ears.
"What should we do with it?" a feminine voice piped clear enough for Peridot to make out. "I don't know. Let's just wait until Buck comes back with help," another voice chimed. More foot steps could be heard as one of the unknown characters started pacing around to Peridot's other side, their shoes clicked against the hard ground.
A loud snap sounded in front of Peridot's face, causing her to flinch. The green gem groaned and curled up. What do they want? Peridot thought. "Hey, I think it's waking up," the figure in front of her called out.
Peridot groaned loudly as she sat up, rubbing her head and blinking the sleep from her eyes. The gem had slept in a puddle of rain water, making half her torso still soaked from the night before. Two figures stood in front of the gem. One was a short-haired girl wearing a leather jacket, lavender shorts, and large gold earrings. The other is a blonde boy adorn in a blue-grey hoodie and long, orange pants. The two teenagers stared down at Peridot with wide eyes.
"Hey Jenny, Sour Cream, I found Steven and the others," a brunette called from the mouth of the warehouse, followed by the Crystal Gems. Peridot's neon green eyes went from dazed and half closed to widened when they fixed on her enemies. Oh hell, the green gem cursed as Amethyst, Garnet, and Pearl sprang up towards her.
