Hey everybody! This is my first Steven Universe fanfic! I've been wanting to write one since forever and now I am! Contains Jasper x Lapis mainly. If you don't like it (aka the pairing or the story after you read it), there are plenty of other fanfics for you to read. Better yet, go watch the show. You'd probably like it better.
CONTAINS- Multiple pairings (some of which are mentioned), violence, multiple flashbacks, sand slight character bashing (I'm yet to have a character I hate on this show)
DISLAIMER: I don't own SU. If I did, I don't think Garnet would be a fusion. She'd be the child of Ruby and Sapphire. Now that I think about it, she kind of is. Never mind.
Jasper couldn't take being held prisoner anymore. It wasn't supposed to go like this. She thought it was a good idea to fuse with the blue gem, Lapis Lazuli, but it was a mistake, just like everything else in her miserable life. Normally when she fused with Lapis, Jasper was the one who had more control. This time Lapis had over taken her somehow. How it happened, Jasper didn't know how. She tried escaping from Lapis's chains, but failed every time. There were times she was so close, but Lapis always managed to summon her strength and keep them fused. It was clear that although she hated the crystal gems, she cared for the little mutt Steven and would do anything to protect him.
She felt jealous whenever Lapis proclaimed this every time Jasper was almost free. It was a good thing that Jasper was able to keep her thoughts private. Why did she care so much about that runt? What had he done to gain her trust and affection? Jasper wanted to know this badly and there were times she almost asked, but didn't. What would Lapis say if she did ask? She had a feeling Lapis would either refuse to tell her or remind them of their past together and how it was her fault they were this way...broken.
The bare thought made Jasper angry, sad, and miserable. Back then, before the gem civil war even began, they used to be mates. Yes there was a time when Jasper was the subject of Lapis's thoughts and affection and vice versa. Back then she had been the only thing Lapis cared about and everyone else could fuck off. Those had been happier days until Jasper messed it all up. It was only a couple of thousand years ago when it happened and it still haunted her to this day.
Jasper had just come home from a night of training. All she wanted to now was relax and spend some time with her favorite gem, Lapis. The blue gem was Jasper's longtime lover and companion ever since Omega, one of the harshest wars the gem planet had faced. She could remember the events of that day very clearly. Back then Lapis was the same as she was now, but somehow around Jasper she was much shyer and Jasper didn't think that much of her. It was amazing how fast Lapis had worked herself into her heart, something that no one had been able to achieve in a long time.
Lapis was funny, kind, and very loving as well as possessive over the large gem. Jasper recalled a time when a peach pearl had hit on her and it did not end well for that gem. Lapis had seen her hitting on the larger gem, came over, and preceded to beat the crap out of her until Jasper pulled her off. To be honest, although the pearl was one of her best soldiers, she admitted it pleased the normally shy gem to do something. Lapis was always so nice and quiet, sometimes a bit too hesitate to open her mouth and always allowed people to walk all over her. It was nice to see her be aggressive. From that day on, Lapis let people know Jasper was her's and only her's only. It didn't matter that Lapis wasn't the type to be intimate in public. She kissed and hugged her in public now and didn't give a damn who saw.
Speaking of Lapis, she was walking into the living room portion of their house which only held a teleportation pad that needed repairing and a large tv like device that served as a communication device and gave news to those who watched. When she saw Jasper, she flung herself into the orange gem's arms. "Jasper, you're home!"
"Of course I am. You sound surprised."
"Well that's because you usually get home much later, silly." Lapis said as Jasper took in her sweet scent. She always seemed to smell like the ocean and some sort of mix of flowers. She would never get tired of that smell.
"I couldn't be away from my little starfish for long." Lapis blushed when she called her this. "Besides, work was a pain today."
"Let me guess…Peridot?"
"That little brat is a real piece of work, ya know." The large gem picked her up and went towards their room. "She blew up the whole armory today…AGAIN."
"She's only a few thousand years older than I am." She shrugged. "Young gems make mistakes."
"That's no excuse." Jasper rolled her eyes. "When I was her age, I didn't make mistakes. I was the perfect soldier."
"And you still are." Lapis smiled. "She'll get better."
"She'd better. Her work reflexes me, so she'd better be near perfect or else." Jasper had worked too hard to get where she was to have some scrawny gem mess it up for her.
"Let's not talk about her right now." Lapis said as they arrived inside of their room. "Let's enjoy our time together before you have to leave me again."
"Agreed." Jasper set down the smaller gem on the large bed.
The room was the room they shared ever since they became a couple. It looked like a rather large cave covered with crystals and the floor being mostly water. The wall was decorated with their pictures. Lapis was never a fan of having a portrait of her painted and neither was her lover, but she did like painting Jasper.
They were very well painted and looked slightly realistic. She had a very good and steady hand when it came to painting. You wouldn't think so with the way with she continually dropped things. Jasper had to admit that she looked pretty nice in those paintings despite hating to pose for them as Lapis wanted the real thing and not some fake (aka a hologram of herself) to prose for her.
Once she had gotten to their large bed, the two began to passionately kiss and touch each other, with Lapis being the one to run her fingers over ever curve and part of the older gem's body. Every touch caused heir body to tingle with pleasure and made them moan and groan in hot passion. Just touching each other almost made them orgasm at the same time. Deciding that foreplay was enough, Lapis decided it was now time to take the older gem. When it came time for mating, Lapis was the more dominate one. Although she wouldn't admit it to another gem, Jasper liked it this way.
Since gems only slept to pass the time, sleep off a minor injury, or gain a bit of energy back if they were too tired, the two decided that sleep wasn't necessary and continued to make love every night in the hopes of having a gem of their own. Usually when more gems were wanted, they were made from scratch by using a combination of basic math, science, a DNA coding from themselves or a gem they wished to make, and a few other things. However ever since Lapis discovered the joys and wonders of mating, she got Jasper in on it and begged to have a "natural" gem with her. To be honest, Jasper was very hesitate in the beginning.
She had a very important job that needed her attention. She was one of the best generals in the diamond army and she had enough on her plate to worry about. She didn't need a child to worry about too. That wasn't the only reason though. If something were to happen to her, that was one more person she would be letting down besides Lapis. After a bit of convincing, Jasper gave in. Even though they had been trying for quite some time to conceive a child, the two couldn't seem to have one, which made Jasper a bit upset and worry a bit. Was something wrong with her? It was beyond embarrassing for the older gem. It was rare when she failed on her own and she took it to heart when she did fail. She often ended up pushing herself past her limits when she did so. Lapis explained that they must have been doing it wrong and was sure they were going to make one and refused to give up.
Once morning came, Jasper reluctantly left her lover and headed off to work. As usual, Lapis tried convincing her to stay home, but as usual she refused. Other than the blue gem, it was one of the few things she loved in her life and took pride in. Her primary job was training gems and making sure everything was going fine for her boss. Whatever pleased Yellow Diamond, pleased her too…well to an extent.
Jasper was given reports on various weaponry and experiments going on in the main gem facility, all of which the large orange gem approved of. Everything was going smoothly…until a loud explosion came from the weaponry room.
"What was that noise?" asked a sky blue pearl who had been briefing the other gem.
"I think we both know." Jasper sighed.
"I swear if that's Peridot 220 again…" said another Jasper who was helping another pearl move a crate.
"Let me deal with her." Jasper interrupted her. The large gem went into the weaponry room and found black smoke coming from inside. Once it had been cleared out by the emergency fan in the room, Jasper approached the gem who was cleaning her face. "Peridot!"
Peridot turned around rather quickly to salute her superior and ended up knocking over something behind her and breaking it.
"What are you doing in here?"
"I was just making some modifications to this." Peridot picked up what had fallen down on the floor. It was some kind of controller. "With this, we'll be able to disable any high tech weapon of any kind and we'll even be able to prevent any rouge gem from summoning a weapon! I mean once I get it fixed."
"Peridot, you're a nuisance to me." Jasper said bluntly.
"Huh?"
"You heard me. Every time I turn around, you're always blowing something up. Just yesterday you managed to blow up part of this very room. You were lucky we were able to get everything repaired. This obvious isn't the place for you. Maybe we should send you to work with the other ranks."
"N-no no! I mean please General Jasper! Please give me another chance." Peridot pleaded. "My invention is almost done! There was just a bit of malfunction with the other weapons I was using to test it!"
"I've given you enough chances, Peridot. You should seriously go back to where you were before."
"No! Please!" Peridot pleaded. "I-I'll try harder!"
"I don't think so, Peridot." Jasper said waving her hands in dismissal. "You've caused enough troubles here and I think…"
"General Jasper, we have news from Yellow Diamond." said a pink pearl interrupting Jasper.
"What did she say?" Jasper said dropping the subject with Peridot for the moment.
"You and Peridot are to repair on of our allies' machines. Together."
"Excuse me?" Jasper wasn't sure heard that right. "W-why did she say?"
"That's all she told me, ma'am." The pearl shrugged her shoulders. She was glad she wasn't the one having to work with the gem.
The gem was dubbed among the others as being a "mad scientist" with an evil laugh that could be heard from a good bit of distance as well as talking to herself about something sinister. Whatever she did in that room would get her and/or others killed because of her. Just last week, a fellow pearl had been sent to deliver a part to Peridot and had been blown out of the room. The poor thing was still inside of her gem, trying to recover from whatever the gem had been doing.
"Son of a…stay here, Peridot. I'll be right back." Jasper walked off.
Once she got to Yellow Diamond, her leader seemed to be expecting her. "Hello, General Jasper. I know what you're thinking and what I want you to do is for a good reason."
"Could you explain it to me?" Jasper said trying not to loose her temper.
"The peridot I asked you to work with is…a bit mad. She has an intelligent mind…"
"All peridots do." Jasper reminded her.
"Yes, but this peridot shows a lot of potential. Like I was saying before, she has an intelligent mind, but she focuses on all the wrong things. If you're there, you could straighten her out a bit. Make sure she's doing what she's supposed to do and not trying anything dangerous like she usually is."
Jasper frowned. She didn't like the idea, but she couldn't refuse. She'd look weak and pathetic. Plus this was a peridot and she was a jasper. It couldn't be too hard, could it? No way! "I see. Peridot and I will get started as soon as possible."
"Good. Is that all you wanted?"
Jasper just shook her head, bowed, and left for the weaponry room. In there, Peridot was looking at the one of the machines they had to work on. It was a giant mech of some sort. Peridot was looking at the machinery with a hungry in her eyes that kind of reminded her of Lapis's look in the bedroom. It was kind of a turn on, but the large gem quickly dismissed this from her mind. This wasn't Lapis. This was that troublemaking peridot.
"Don't try anything just yet." Jasper said, making the green gem jump a little. "All we're doing is working on it. No upgrades. No pushing it to do more. Nothing that doesn't include fixing it. Got it?"
"Yes." She responded looking a bit disappointed, but still a little happy about working on the mech.
As they worked together, Jasper found that the younger gem was able to make more sense of the machinery than Jasper thought she would. With the orange gem keeping a good eye on her, Peridot didn't mess with anything she wasn't supposed to touch although she did share what she would have done to it had she owned the machine herself.
"Just think of all the possibilities we can do with this thing. Bigger guns that shoot double…no triple the ammo at supersonic speeds out of the same barrel. Less cool down periods. Thicker armor. Mini mechs the size of…well around your height. The ability to pull out a much bigger version of your weapon! If only were had access to those tools that I broke last week…General Jasper, could I just make a tiny adjustment to at least the fire power? Just a tiny bit?"
"Whoa there, Peridot. We're just fixing this huge hole and rewiring a few things…let's not get carried away." Jasper rolled her eyes. 'It's a good thing Yellow Diamond sent me to be in here with her. No telling what she would be doing in here…although I do like those ideas.'
She blushed and nodded. "Right. Sorry. I'm being stupid."
"Not at all." The older gem said as she looked through a pile of metal. "They're actually pretty good ideas. If you had your own materials and lab, you probably could do it with the right mindset."
"Excuse me?" Peridot raised a brow.
"I mean if you were to concentrate on one thing at a time and not all at once, little by little, you'd be able to do a lot with what talents you have." The larger gem shrugged her shoulders. "If you can do all that, I mean."
"You really think so?" she looked surprised and blushed a little.
"Yeah, sure. Just don't mess anything up for yourself, like anything that includes those explosions."
Over the next 2 weeks, things went fine and exactly as planned. During that time, the two gems got to know each other better as Peridot kept asking Jasper questions as they worked to fill the silence.
"Why are Jaspers so orange?"
"All Jaspers are not orange." Jasper felt slightly offended. "I seem to recall Peridot being nothing but green."
"I see." Peridot went back to wiring one of the mechs. "Jasper?"
"What?"
"Is that lapis I see you with your assistant?"
"What lapis?" Jasper said placing back the machine's arm with ease. "I'm around a few…"
"The…" peridot stopped for a second to find the right words for the gem. "The one you're always…uh…kissing and…uh…getting intimate with…"
She sounded and looked a bit jealous. "'Is something wrong with that?"
"No! I mean…it's just well…don't you worry about others seeing you?"
"Not really. It's my business. Besides, it's perfectly normal."
"I see. So this Lapis is important to you in that way…interesting." Peridot rubbed her chin as she began typing something on her screen. "And why do you feel this way towards her? I never knew jaspers had the ability to love."
"That's very insulting. Where the heck did you get this nonsense from?"
"It was a common theory among other peridots…and a few other gems."
"Oh so everyone thinks we're a bunch of heartless brutes? Is that what you're saying?"
"I didn't mean to offend you." She quickly began working on the wires. "It's just it's rare to see a jasper with another…like you and that Lapis you're with."
"I see. I didn't know peridot engaged in idle gossip." Jasper smirked.
"We usually do it when we're waiting for something to upload or process." Peridot shrugged.
"I see. As long as you all do your work, do as you please." She shrugged.
Over the next few days, Peridot did most of the talking while Jasper gave her opinion every now and then. To be honest, she wasn't too bad. The green gem loved talking about machines and high grade technology that were being developed in the labs, where she used to be stationed. She bad mouthed a couple of gems that worked there, including a pearl she hated in particular.
"Damn Pearl should know its place." Peridot said slamming her hammer into the piece of steel. "I'm a peridot. I was made to be a genius. The fact that she's smart doesn't mean she can work with us as if she's an equal or say the obvious like my feelings towards…"
Peridot suddenly stopped and had a sudden look of realization on her face. "I…uh…n-nevermind."
Jasper raised her brow at this. She smirked a little. "Your feelings towards what, Peridot?"
"Nothing, general." Peridot gave a weak laugh. "It's nothing important. No need to say anything more."
Peridot quickly went back to work to avoid talking anymore. Jasper couldn't help but be a bit more curious about it. She decided to shrug it off and get back to work. She couldn't help, but to notice how cute she looked when she blushed. If Peridot wasn't always concentrating on her inventions, she could actually find another gem to be with. Her hair (although oddly shaped) looked so soft and she had a nice scent. Not to mention her body was pretty sexy too. She would just love to squeeze that ass of her's.
'Wait! What the heck am I thinking? Good thing Lapis can't read my mind.' Jasper shook her head. 'Still though, Peridot is pretty attractive. I wouldn't mind hearing her scream my name and…what am I saying? Shit, I'm horny now. I'll just get Lapis to take care of it once I get home.'
After a few hours, they decided it was time to go home. When Jasper got home, Lapis was in the middle of placing a box on the shelf when Jasper walked in. "Jasper! You're home! Whoa!"
She slipped off the ladder she was climbing and nearly hit the ground. Being the quick gem she was, Jasper quickly caught her lover. Lapis giggled and kissed the orange gem. "As long as you've been alive, I don't think you would have forgotten about your ability to fly."
"I didn't. I just wanted you to catch me."
"You just wanted to be in my arms." Jasper nuzzled her lover.
"Maybe. Maybe not." She smiled. "Jasper, I have good news."
"What?"
"I found out the best way to have a baby." She smiled.
"Oh?"
"Well actually a few ways." Lapis ran her fingers through her lover's hair.
"We'd better started then, huh?" Jasper grinned eager to get these tingling sensation out of her. As they made love, Jasper kept seeing and hearing Peridot.
After the two gems were done, the mech looked as good as new. The place where the hole was looked as if the giant machine hadn't been made. When Jasper had went off to inform a fellow gem that the mech had been fixed, Peridot had taken it upon herself to straighten out most of the dents on the mech making it look as if it had just been made.
"Hmm…impressive." Jasper observed looking over the mech. "Wait, you didn't do anything to it did you, because if you did."
"No. I just straightened out the armor a bit, made a few touch ups, and rewired a few things." Peridot was looking at her hologram screen. "Wish I could have done a bit more…the cannons could have been upgraded to a 2.3. A 2.4 upgrade would cause a slightly longer cooldown period and a 2.5 would cause be a bit much…maybe if I rewired a few more wires…"
"Don't even try it, Peridot." Jasper crossed her arms, looking amused at the gem.
"Huh? Oh right." Peridot looked longingly at the mech. "It was nice working with you, General Jasper."
"It wasn't too bad working with you either. You weren't as bad as everyone else said you were." This comment made the green gem turn a darker shade of green. "Still though, try not to blow anything else up."
"I…thank you." Peridot smiled a little. When the taller gem left, she felt proud and happy. No one had said such words before to her. Normally people stayed away from her and refused to talk to her because she was "crazy" just because she liked to dream big. Sure her experiments and inventions had blown up quite a lot and many of her inventions had nearly killed many a gem, but she wasn't as dangerous as gems made her out to be…at least that's what she thought.
Maybe someday the others would feel the same, but you know what? Who cares? Hopefully she would get the chance to work with her again very soon.
Thanks for reading this story. I worked really hard on it and I hope anybody reading this likes it. If not, there are other fanfics to read although not a lot pairing Jasper and Lapis or Peridot p. However you do see a lot of Jasper x Peridot pictures. More pairings ahead. All of my chapters for these stories will be extremely long, so they'll be out later on. Reviews are welcome!
