I finally have chapter one of Aventurine's AU ready over here, this is gonna be the introductory chapter, and it's revised as my writing style has changed, so bear with me. He and two other aventurine emerged perfect quartzes, like Jasper. He is facet 1 cut 2XA, but I will refer to his as Ven. Anyway I just wanted to make that a bit clearer, so let's get into it!
It all started, eons years ago. Before the rebellions, before the wars, before the loss. A world rich in resources, Homeworld, with three all powerful beings, making up The Diamond Authority. The Diamonds agreed in colonizing their first planet containing intelligent, organic life, Viride. The colony was in Yellow Diamond's court; it was her second colony, but she was to have far more independence with this one than before.
After a short war, and all life on Viride was extinguished, kindergartens erected by Era One Peridots would produce a variety of gemstones: agates, emeralds, jades, and many other Gems all stained by the planet's green crust. Though by far the most well known kindergarten of the planet is in facet 1, the kindergarten of aventurine, due to an incident resulting in the production of Yellow Diamond's prized 'Aventurine Trio.' When a peridot carrying out her role in initially activating the kindergarten, the first three holes drilled into the walls were supplied with too much injector fluid due to her miscalculations. What was she to do? If she was to report this it would surely end in her shattering. Homeworld could certainly afford mistakes, they just wouldn't allow them in their perfect society. She kept her error secret.
Once the aventurines emerged, three in particular differed from every other piece of quartz that came from the dirt; perfect quartz soldiers, larger than any other produced in the kindergarten. A peridot and a group of topaz visited the kindergarten to collect the quartzes, once their roughhousing was stopped, the three larger quartzes were immediately brought to Yellow and White Diamond.
The three aventurine and a peridot escort warped onto a bridge leading to a large, white structure resembling White Diamond. The peridot escort belonged to Yellow's court, she wore a deep green jumpsuit, a deep yellow, triangular band around her chest stopped to create a diamond insignia around the gemstone on her chest, smaller, bright yellow colored diamonds dotted her elbows, knees, toes, and ankles. She had short, yellowish hair, it similar to a diamond in shape.
The quartzes she was escorting looked very similar, big, green, and striped wearing a jumpsuit. That's how nearly all gems looked when they first emerged, the only thing that distinguished them from each other was their hairstyles, stripe patterns, gem placements, and subtle details in attire.
The peridot summoned a screen and double checked, "of course," she unintentionally said aloud.
The navel-gem aventurine looked curious, "what's wrong peridot?"
"The peridot from the kindergarten didn't fill out your identification information, it's just on record that you've emerged. Let's see here, Aventurine cut 1XA facet 1, gem placement left eye, kept hair," she paused a moment and slowly continued, "bulky build, gloves, boots, five diamond insignias, one larger than the rest on chest." The screen suddenly scanned over him, he remained still.
The peridot continued, "Aventurine cut 2XA facet 1, gem placement left shoulder, curly hair, bulky build, jumpsuit, one insignia on chest." His discomfort showed as the screen scanned over him.
The navel-gem aventurine looked excited it was his turn, moving in front of Peridot, she began analysing him. "Aventurine cut 3XA facet 1, gem placement navel, triangular hair, split at tips, dimples, jumpsuit, bulky build, large diamond insignia exposing gemstone." He giggled as the screen scanned him.
She informed them that they were crossing the bridge to converse with the diamonds, and what a privilege it was to be meeting them. Eye-gem was attentively listening and wore a serious grin, navel-gem was in awe as the peridot summoned multiple screens from her gemstone and displayed images of White and Yellow Diamond, as well as their importance. The third, gemstone on his left shoulder, followed close behind, but he was absorbing the scenery of Homeworld.
Rectangular buildings in varying heights, fancy spires, open-dome arenas, all labeled in strange symbols he could somehow read. The felt so… small, which was weird because this peridot told him he was here because of the exact opposite.
His distance was noted as the others began entering the towering white structure they had been approaching. The peridot called his attention, "Aventurine cut 2XA, come on!"
He cringed at the name, it was just awkward hearing it. "Just Ven is fine."
The eye-gem aventurine shot him a glare, "you were given an order 2XA."
The peridot waved a hand up, "you all need to be on your best behavior in the presence of our Diamonds, they alone will determine your fate."
Once they were all inside, the peridot summoned a screen from the gem on her chest, typing away at it carefully. The navel-gem aventurine moved close to Ven, whispering in his sweet voice, "I like the nickname, somethin' XA just sounds weird you know?"
Before Ven had a chance to respond, the panel below them glew and they were suddenly warped to another chamber of the structure, where the diamonds sat in huge thrones. He looked up to them, they sat up straight, each crossing one leg over the over. White Diamond towered over everyone in the room, even when setting aside the height gained by her spiked hair, she looked very annoyed with something, and Ven kind of hoped it wasn't him. She and Yellow Diamond radiated an immense power, though Ven didn't so much fear the former. Yellow Diamond's may have been trying to mirror White's posture, but her entire demeanor differed. Her face actually showed excitement, and it only grew as she got a further look over of Ven and the others, it made him blush a mossy green.
Peridot stepped forward and clasped her arms into a diamond salute, "My diamonds, I am sorry to consume your precious time. Something has occurred with three aventurines produced in the facet one kindergarten on-"
White Diamond held up a hand, "we've been briefed already."
"I apologize my diamond, here they are: Facet 1, cuts 1XA, 2XA, and 3XA of the planet Viride." The peridot was warped away abruptly.
The aventurine with a gem for a eye looked deadly serious saluting his diamond just as the peridot had previously. The one with a gem placed in his navel looked nervous meeting the diamonds, saluting clumsily. Ven simply followed along, crossing his arms and bending his hands to make a diamond shape.
YAt ease," Yellow Diamond seemed interested, "three perfect quartzes from one kindergarten, this colony looks to be promising."
"They are not perfect quartzes," White said in disgust, "they are off color and should be shattered."
"I believe you're mistaken," Yellow sounded shocked, "just look at them!"
"I am," White gritted her teeth, "their forms are barbaric looking! I will have no such gem on my court."
"Well, they are not going to your court, they'll be on mine!" Yellow hissed back.
"Fine by me," White got up and moved closer to the trio of quartzes, "but don't come crying to me when one revolts," she looked directly at Ven, "they've certainly got the strength for it." She warped away before Yellow had a chance rebuttal.
Yellow smiled and moved to her new gems, "don't listen to her you three, I don't know what she's talking about. You three are the biggest quartzes I've ever seen, really something special. I'll put you in my personal guard for now, my Aventurine Trio."
For hundreds of thousands of years, the Aventurine Trio were stationed anywhere Yellow Diamond ended up guarding her at all costs, though the need to pay any price never occurred. The Trio only really left her side when she had to attend to private matters or when they were sent to extinguish small rebellions or whatever inhabited a potential colony. Such as the case that eventually came with Earth.
