----
!!This fanfic uses the tropes:
* AllGenesAreCodominant: According to Jade, when two Gems have a baby together, the child is a new Gem altogether.
* AttemptedRape: This occurred between Peri and Pearl; the latter managed to fight back and use a GroinAttack on him.
* BigBad:
** Peridot (Peri) turns out to be the main antagonist of the story, starting with Chapter 6.
** In the sequel, Melanite (Melany) the black-magic Gem witch turns out to be just as much of a threat as Peri, if not more so.
* BirthDeathJuxtaposition: [[spoiler:Peri]] is killed by his own {{Cerberus}} in chapter 13. Come the next chapter...
* DoesNotLikeMen: Pearl has had little to no trust in men ever since Peri tried to rape her; the only exception she's made so far is Steven. [[spoiler:She makes another for her son when he's born at the end of the fic.]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:Peri]] goes out this way when [[spoiler:Jade]] sics the {{Cerberus}} on him. [[spoiler:Then it turns out he's NotQuiteDead.]]
* FanCreatedOffspring: [[spoiler:Jonah Eudialyte, Pearl and Garnet's son born at the end of the fanfic.]]
* GroinAttack: Pearl managed to kick Peri in the nuts after he tried to rape her.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Jade]] undergoes one in Chapter 10 after realizing how much Pearl and Garnet love each other.
* HomosexualReproduction: Starting in Chapter 10, Pearl is pregnant with Garnet's child. By the end, they have [[spoiler:a little boy they name Jonah]].
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Jade]] decides in chapter 10 that she loves Pearl enough to let her go and be happy with Garnet.
* TheMole: Jade originally plays this role when she is first introduced in Chapter 7, having been hired by her brother Peri to kill Garnet. It only lasts for three chapters before she [[spoiler: has [[HeelFaceTurn a change of heart]]]].
* NotQuiteDead:
** In chapter 12, [[spoiler:Jade]] manages to survive being severely injured at the hands of [[spoiler: her brother]] back in Chapter 11, thanks to [[spoiler:some sort of healing potion he gives her]].
** The last chapter reveals that [[spoiler:Peri]] is still alive after being attacked by the Cerberus.
* OriginalCharacter:
** Peri and his sister Jade are [=OCs=] created for this story.
** The sequel features Peri and Jade’s mother Tanzanite and aunt Fluorite, as well as the black-magic Gem witch Melanite.
* ProlongedPrologue: The plot doesn't kick in until Chapter 6. By then, the fanfic is almost at the halfway point.
* RapeAsBackstory: Pearl, of all people, endured this at the hands of her friend Peri.
* RomanceEnsues: The basic premise revolves around Pearl and Garnet falling in love.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Pearl is the girly girl and Garnet is the tomboy.

!!The sequel uses the tropes:
* BlindSeer: Jade's mother Tanzanite is one of the most powerful white-magic Gem witches to exist. She also happens to be completely blind, but she compensates for this by feeling vibrations in the ground and possessing super hearing.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Melany is clearly against the idea of Peri hurting Jonah.
* IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: Melany is hopelessly in love with Peri and sticks with him purely out of loyalty, but he doesn't feel the same way. In fact, he outright doesn't care about her at all beyond using her to cast spells to try to stop the heroes.
* HandicappedBadass: Fluorite is apparently this, but it winds up being more of an InformedAttribute in the long run.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Fluorite]] sacrifices herself in order to [[spoiler:resurrect Jade]].
* KarmicTransformation: [[spoiler: Melany]] transforms into a monster, shortly before she retreats into her gem against her will and is bubbled off for eternity [[AndIMustScream with no say in the matter]].
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Jonah and Peri, especially if you didn't read ''New Feelings'' beforehand.
** Specifically, Peri spoils the ending of the first fic where he's [[spoiler:killed and then brought back to life]], while Jonah's entire ''existence'' is a huge spoiler for the first fic, too.
* MadLove: Melany is hopelessly in love with Peri and constantly puts up with his short-fuse temper and violence; meanwhile, he doesn't seem to give a damn about her beyond trying to keep our heroes from saving Jonah. It probably doesn't help that [[spoiler:she was the one who brought him back to life]].
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Peri]] winds up dying like this.
* PsychicChildren: Jonah has the ability to read people's minds, specifically his momma Garnet's, and communicate with telepathy. He also expresses psychokinesis as demonstrated in Chapter 6 when he forces his abductor to the ground with willpower alone. Combined with GooGooGodlike.
* SacrificialLion: Poor [[spoiler:Jade]] becomes this in chapter 9. [[spoiler:She gets better, though.]]
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: [[spoiler:Fluorite offers to sacrifice herself in order to save Garnet, resurrect Jade, and cure her sister of her blindness]].
* WalkingSpoiler: It's somewhat difficult to talk about this fanfic without eventually bringing up that [[spoiler:Peri is resurrected after he's killed at the end of the previous fanfic]] or that [[spoiler:Jonah is Pearl and Garnet's son born at the end of ''New Feelings'']].
