The Universe Twins
-A Garnet mom-swap fanfiction-
It was five thousand years ago when mom came into existence, before then the future was fair game as momma Sapphire would always see the paths of time like a constantly flowing river, and momma Ruby was merely part of her entourage of gems sworn to protect her with their lives.
One fateful day the winds of destiny were blowing a fierce gale that would bring upon an enormous change that would not only effect momma Sapphire and momma Ruby, but the rest of gem-kind and even if mom didn't realize it, human-kind as well.
Momma Sapphire was sent to Earth with her entourage including momma Ruby at the behest of their former leader Blue Diamond. Blue Diamond was a gigantic statuesque being who instilled fear and sadness into all who were relegated to her court. It was in this place, at this era that momma Garnet would take her first glances at life and love.
There was a terrible war prior to momma Garnet's existence, Blue Diamond's fellow diamond Pink was shattered here on this planet, and in the wake of it all she heralded the front. Blue courting all her fellow diamond's gems, leading them at her fortress: the Sky Arena, but even though all seemed calm Blue still wanted the guidance of a Sapphire to assist her future plans.
Sapphire approached the behemoth. Being so small compared to the Diamond she spoke with such assurance as if their height difference didn't matter. She predicted the sudden appearance of the rebel's leader Rose Quartz and her terrifying Pearl claiming the lives of three gems, including herself. As the day progressed, Sapphire's prediction came true, Rose Quartz and her Pearl made a sudden appearance, and the other two Ruby's in her entourage were shattered. Momma Sapphire had already accepted her fate, standing stoically awaiting certain death, but just as the renegade Pearl drew her spear and began to come at Sapphire, momma Ruby swooped in at the last second to save Sapphire.
That one sole gesture of love was the catalyst needed to bring the two together in fusion, and there she was, Momma Garnet, a blend of two different gems… being mocked by other gems at the "appalling" sight of these two in glorious fusion. That day changed so much, from then on mom was always fused, she joined Rose Quartz and her Pearl on their crusade to get the Diamonds off the planet, but not every story involving a war could possibly have a happily ever after.
One day, five-thousand years later, Rose appeared to mom seeking advice on the future. Rose wanted to know if their jobs were done protecting the Earth, but not even Rose -who prided herself in never being shocked or surprised by anything- was expecting the answer mom had for her. Mom took a deep breath and looked at Rose with a very gleeful yet skeptical look on her face, "No. You will still be fighting off the Diamonds and others, but it's strange because after a certain point, my future vision goes dark, and I can't see anything beyond that. I do see me though with a drastically different form, I get heavy… huh? I also see a young human with message to deliver before my form change, he's handsome…?" Then momma Ruby and momma Sapphire had unfused for the first time in a thousand years.
That young man is our father Greg. He taught our mom how to just be and love it, still something magical was growing between the gem fusion and the human man, but neither had realized it for quite a while. Several years later, mom was gone and her place was a boy and a girl: the boy was born with a deep tan and a blue gemstone on his left hand, as for the girl she was born with beautiful dark red hair and a red gemstone on her right hand, and you might be wondering their names. Well my name is Cyrene and my brother's name is Phineas, but you can call us Cy and Finn. This is the story of our shared Universe…
