* HilariousInHindsight: Steven is actually the son of a Diamond? Wow! Sure glad that this is fanfiction, because the real show would ''never'' do that! [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E18ASinglePaleRose Oh, wait...]]

* TearJerker: Steven calls Rose Quartz out on shattering Pink Diamond, unaware Rose is actually ''Pink herself''. Even worse, Rose thinks Pink "dying" still was the best option since she sees the Diamonds as unable to reason with - tellingly, her first reaction when she realized Blue Diamond passed on was "at least she won't hurt someone anymore".

Move it to the Trivia page


* AuthorsSavingThrow: Rose gets poofed in this story, and no one saw that her gem was that of a diamond (which the author did say is canon in this universe as well). The author's notes went on to say that she was poofed in a dark cave while everyone was being drowned by Lapis, and Pearl grabbed the gem before anyone really saw.

** Crosses a bit with HarsherInHindsight, but an issue Steven has encountered with a pair of Lapis' in ''Future'' is that despite the old order being removed, they still want to continue their old jobs of terraforming. Similarly, Pearl is having trouble comprehending Blue Pearl's insistence on staying with Steven, even though her old master is gone.

** In a (canon) side-story, Rose actually mourns for Blue Diamond, because they were still sisters and Rose still held hope that one day, Blue would come to understand her viewpoint. And it will never come to pass now - because Steven may have inherited his mother's gem, he's not Blue herself.

* NightmareFuel: Garnet's vision in which she accidentally [[spoiler:''kills'' Steven, not realizing that his body is organic]]. The scene is described very graphically and there's no GoryDiscretionShot. On top of that, it's not even made clear that it's a vision at first.

** Steven's reaction to the Bubbled Gems is almost ''exactly'' identical to Bismuth's in "Made of Honor," with him thinking it's a prison full of people. The only difference is that they manage to tell Steven ''why'' they're keeping those gems bubbled before he frees one, which Bismuth did. Tellingly, that particular episode came out months later.

Removed the Fan-Preferred Couple entry because EW EW WHY AMETHYST IS STILL AN ADULT


* FanPreferredCouple: Connie x Amethyst. Sort of doubles as a ToyShip and [[ItMakesSenseInContext it makes more sense here than in canon]] since Amethyst was never forced to grow up from losing Rose.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Despite having a fairly light presence in the actual cartoon, Blue Pearl has become a favorite of both the fans and the authors. Seeing as she's Steven's adopted caretaker and has gotten a lot of the Steven related character development that the Crystal Gems didn't get in this AU, it's not hard to see why.
