An alternate ending after Jailbreak. How far will Steven go to protect the ones he loves?

AU. Ten years ago, on a solemn hour, one trivial mistake breaks Lapis Lazuli free. Fueled with hatred, she seized the Crystal Gems' most prized possession; their legacy; their Steven, and fled into the night. History as you know it, has been rewritten since then. [Covers for this story by SsjGojux20.]

On a night she assumed would be just like any other, Pearl overhears Steven in his room, quietly sobbing to himself. She doesn't have any idea why... but could it have something to do with why he keeps looking at the painting of his mother?

Completely overwhelmed with guilt and resentment over Garnet and Pearl's feud, Steven runs away from home. One problem: there isn't exactly anywhere to go. But what if, by pure coincidence, he was to meet the person (or gem) he least expected, the enemy? At least, who he used to consider the enemy. Begins after Ep. 63 "Cry for Help." Complete. Cover art by Candy-Vegetto.

A fight with the Crystal Gems has left Peridot cracked within an inch of her life. Trapped on Earth, with no one and no way to get home, Peridot's all but given up hope. But she doesn't know the lengths Steven is willing to go to in order to keep her alive.

(Rated M for sexual content and explicit language) Steven falls in lustful love, but the gems don't agree with who he's chosen. They forbid him from seeing "her" but he follows his heart. One of the gems professes her love in an attempt to win his heart, which creates confusion, and now he has trouble choosing. But things aren't what they seem. (Takes place after Water Heart)

A slightly different throw from the one we know takes Lapis and Peridot on a journey of discovery, both of their new world and themselves. AU from an altered ending of "Jailbreak." Lapidot too. PART 9 - Crossing the Rubicon - With Jasper looming before them, Lapis and Peridot finally stop running from all the decisions haunting them since arriving on Earth.
