I really LOVE Steven Universe and Garnet is by far my favourite character

But I do feel like the two gems that are fused making up Garnet don't really have many or any fanfics about them

So I felt like they deserved some form of love :)

PM me with any ideas you have for future chapters

warning FLUFF alert; please review, follow and favourite

Sapphire sat by the water's edge quietly the evening ocean breeze blowing through her silky white locks. For something so simple; the ocean brought herself and humans so much joy. It was essentially salt water surrounding the earth filled with its own aquatic inhabitants; but it was filled with so much wonder and had so much life within it.

The smallest and simplest of natural occurrences brought humans so much joy; be it a sunrise, sunset, falling leaves or the turn of the tide. They reveled in such things and found it to be truly amazing. They even made small events to celebrate the coming seasons; like bonfires and fireworks or putting up tree's in the winter.

As she had come to reside on earth after abandoning home world to save Ruby after fusing; she had learned so many different things about the planet and its inhabitants. Their way of life, their customs and their traditions that they passed on to one another.

They were strange, unusual but endearing creatures; they had so much heart and were capable of so many amazing things. Their adaptability and ability to persevere was truly admirable. They were stronger than they appeared and truly did not get enough respect from other races; they were not physically strong but in heart they were not.

They were more than home world believed them to be; they were lacking in advanced technology but they were by no means weak. They were strong and able to overcome any form of disaster ad tragedy grouping together to make the best of the situation.

But being beside the water reminded her of the person she had come to love. The one who had protected her with their life after winding up alone together on a new world. When she was scared, alone and stressed about what her actions may have done. When she sometimes felt like regretting her actions and wondered if she had done the right thing after all.

As they came to discover the planet earth; Ruby and herself had decided to fuse again becoming one soul. They had come to find it more comfortable and less lonely than just being one single gem. They found that they had someone to talk to; someone who was always there when they needed them; someone who would always listen.

They forgot they had ever been alone; what it felt like to just be one gem. They were 2 people merged into one; an experience, a new form, a new being entirely that worked together. While their powers undoubtedly increased; all they cared about was that they were able to protect one another and Steven from danger.

Being beside the ocean like this with the moon beaming down from above. It reminded her of being with Ruby beside that lake in the woods; dancing together shyly before fusing once more. Sitting by the campfire Ruby made with her powers; catching that frog beside the lake and wondering through the vast and wild forests together.

Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder but she didn't jump. She had already seen who had been coming to find her before she even needed to speak. No matter how far apart they were; they always seemed to find each other. Their hearts were always connected even when they were apart; though they lost their combined powers their intuition never left.

"Hey sapphy; It's getting late and Steven's a bit worried" Ruby said gently. Though she and the other gems knew sapphire would be ok; they had to put Steven at ease a little. She often found it surprising how big of a heart Steven had for one small child.

It was coming to autumn now meaning the nights were getting cold; but that wouldn't bother sapphire due to her powers. But even Ruby knew all sorts of people wondered the beach at this time of night. Most of the inhabitants of this town were good people; but there were the few shady folks that lived around here that even Greg didn't like much.

The moon was pretty low too meaning the tide would come in. She didn't want Sapphire to get sick from causing the water to freeze while sitting beside it. While gems couldn't die they could still suffer injuries. The idea of Sapphire getting sick because she wasn't there to keep an eye on her would cause her no end of grief.

Sapphire smiled and nodded "Sorry; I was just thinking about before. Back when we first came to this world" she explained softly. She had just gotten so lost in reminiscing time had seemed to slip away. While it seemed stupid; thinking of how she met the red gem had made her so happy that nothing else seemed to matter anymore.

It was funny how such trivial but precious thoughts could take up your time and make you lose track of all around you. It was a form of magic in of itself that not even the gems could understand or control. It was both amazing and scary at the same time; how fast moments passed you by before you had any realization it had even happened.

The times she and Ruby un-fused were far and few between; but when they did Steven loved it and they got to see each other. Though they were always together it was nice to look at the other again. To see the person they loved more than anything standing before them; so they could admire them once more.

Ruby blushed shyly and smiled tenderly gazing up at the shining white orb in the sky "It was full that night too" she said gently. Whenever she looked at the moon her memory always went back to that night. Even back then all those millenniums ago; the moon had been just as beautiful as this one. A giant white ball looming in the sky glowing radiantly with its pale light.

Sapphire sighed thoughtfully "has it really been so many centuries since then? Time seemed to pass so quickly" she said contemplatively. It didn't feel like it had really been that long since they had fused. It sometimes felt like only yesterday she had spontaneously grabbed Ruby and fell to earth before Blue Diamond could shatter the gem who wanted to protect her.

Back then she believed that they would get captured and Ruby would be killed by home world. But instead they were found by Rose Quartz who helped them find a new way of life; of learning that all life was special. She came to find someone who loved her powers but made her believe that she was more than just a servant. She had purpose, she was her own being and she belonged here with Ruby.

She could decide her own destiny aside from what fate had in store; they could shape it together with their own actions. They couldn't change what the outcome could be; but they could alter it. It was up to them now how things would turn out and what would become of them; not for someone else to to decide.

Ruby blush intensified and she placed her hand on Sapphire's shoulder supportively. She knew how scared and troubled Sapphire got but she would always be here; no matter what. "Being with you like this; fused as Garnet on our new home. That's my dream and I want it to stay that way" Ruby said lovingly.

Not everyone would approve; other gems saw it as disgusting or weak. A form of power to make lower class gems stronger than they were. But that's wasn't true; what kept them together was their love for each other. The feelings they felt for one another separately in their original forms; that was what allowed them to become stronger.

Their love was stronger than bigger gems combined; that was why they could stay fused as Garnet for so long. Because what they felt for each other was stronger than anything they could imagine. Their love was stronger than anything that home world or other gems could throw at them; because it was the strongest feeling next to hate.

Sapphire reached up to touch Ruby's hand gently to which the two intertwined their fingers. They didn't have to speak how they felt about each other; they felt it in their touch, in their fusion. They understood each other better than anyone else. They knew everything about one another, down to their moods, their feelings, their secrets and their hidden pain.

She looked up at the black-haired gem quietly her blue eye shining brightly with love and affection. Though she was often hot headed, impulsive and hard to understand; Ruby had a big heart and a kind soul. She always worried about what her actions caused and the feelings of those around her; sometimes she just tended to let her emotions get the better of her.

Ruby then leaned forward to kiss the white-haired gem quietly. Her bandanna and sapphire's silky locks blowing in the night air. No matter what other people thought of them and how many didn't approve of fusion; they were glad to have found each other.

Suddenly a white light began to erupt from their bodies; gentle and low at first but slowly growing brighter and brighter with each passing second. Eventually a white orb surrounded them and the two gems became one.

Eventually the white light dispersed and Garnet appeared on the water's edge. She gazed up at the moon quietly admiring its pale white light and radiance. Within her she could feel and see the memories of the two gems that made her.

She smiled gently and touched her forehead causing her visor to appear covering her eyes. She was a creation of the love these two gems shared for each other; to protect them and her existence she would continue to fight for earth.
