----------
!!''Seeds of Rebellion'' provides examples of:

* AnachronicOrder: In the published, intended order. If read by POV, most of the scenes happen chronologically for the POV character.

* ArtificialIntelligence: Gems are hinted to be this, with multiple mentions of ''glitching'' and ''code'' relating to their health and biology

* Backstory: It's about the Gems before they came to Earth.

* BenevolentBoss: Rose seems to be this to Pearl, to the latter's surprise (at first)

* BlessedWithSuck: Sapphire can see the future, but is plagued with images of her own death.

** Later chapters reveal [[spoiler: that as a defective gem, she should have been crushed immediately. Her Future Vision is the only reason why she's still alive, but she is subject to Moonstone's experiments.]]

* TheCaretaker: Ruby may be turning into this for Sapphire, especially during the latter's blackouts

* TheConspiracy: There are hints that the other three Diamonds, especially White, are plotting against Rose.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Downplayed with Rose. The first thing she does when she hears about the dock explosion is to rush in to help put out the fires.

* DisabilitySuperpower: Sapphire's Future Vision is an anomaly related to her defective status.

* Drabble: Every chapter is exactly 100 words. Yes, including the poems.

* FaintingSeer: Sapphire, on occasion.

* ForeShadowing: Surprisingly, a lot of reveals were hinted before the actual scenes that bring them up.

** The very first chapter implies that Sapphire is desperate to not die. Much later, it's revealed that she is fully aware she has nearly [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived her usefulness]] to White Diamond and will be crushed soon.

** A variant of FutureShadowing, due to the AnachronicOrder. In Chapter 37 (Pearl POV), Rose desperately clings to Pearl, much to the latter's confusion. Chapter 44 (Rose POV) explains her behavior, as it occurs before Ch37 chronologically.

* GreatOffscreenWar: Mentions of "The First War for Freedom" and "The Last Battle for Freedom" presumably against The Progenitors.

* JigsawPuzzlePlot: A given, considering the story's structure and short chapters.

* LaResistance: Doubles as ForegoneConclusion because of canon. Everything in the fic is building up to it.

* MadScientist: Downplayed with White Diamond/Moonstone. While she isn't prone to mad cackling, she has no qualms about experimenting on [[spoiler: Sapphire]]

* MeaningfulName: Gem designation numbers are given meanings through Japanese number wordplay.

** Ruby and Sapphire shares the designation number 8291 which can be read as "First Love"

* PoemFic: Some chapters take the form of this.

* ServantRace: Pearls, but they are more of a slave class or all-around assistants here rather than the status symbols they are in canon.

** Gems are implied to be this to The Progenitors

* ShownTheirWork

** Carbonate System Planet 6 produced Aragonites, Calcites, and Pearls. All three share the same chemical composition-- calcium carbonate.

** In the story, Ruby works in the Corundum Kindergarten that produced Sapphire. In real life, rubies and sapphires are different colors of the same gem called Corundum.

* ShoutOut:

** Chapter 18's summary teaser was "What is this feeling, so sudden and new?" referencing a song from Theatre/Wicked

** In The Dock 191 Incident reports, most of the ships are named after Gundams and battleships from Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED

* SwitchingPOV: The chapters rotate between the POVs of Ruby, Sapphire, Rose Quartz, and Pearl, with the occasional report file or fusion lore thrown in.

* The Purge: The Pearl String Purge following the Dock 191 Incident, because the explosion was blamed on the Pearls

* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Gems turning on The Progenitors is implied to have caused The First War for Freedom.

* WhamEpisode: The Dock 191 Incident

* WhamLine: "Dispose String 24976"

** And a few chapters before that: [[spoiler: ''Rose walks back to Command in a daze, covered in ashy nacre flakes— the only remains of the pearls she couldn't save.'']]

* WrenchWench: Pearl started out as a ship mechanic before being reassigned to Pink Diamond
