[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/3808279/chapters/8485900 The \
World is Your Oyster, The Universe is Your Namesake]] is an ongoing
WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse fanfic by Tropers/{{MHD}}, of web-serial like
proportions. It diverges from canon after the events of ''Reformed'' (S. 2 Ep.
05,) when Steven asks the Gems why they live segregated from humanity.
When the answer proves to be unsatisfactory, he and Connie Maheswaran take it
upon themselves to use Gem magic to help make the world a better place.
Along the way, in no particular order, the following happens:
* Steven threatens to leave the Crystal Gems
* Connie kills herself sixty times
* Garnet splits up willingly
* Amethyst acts as a voice of reason
* Pearl comes to find humans interesting
Needless to say, the world is a complicated place, and there are several
outstanding issues to be dealt with first, like the looming threat of alien
invasion; and also a lot of questions that need answers, which Steven is
more than happy to ask.
