6	!!This fanfic provides examples of:
7	* AlternateSelf:
8	** In [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12609808/2/Faded-Blue-Side-Stories-and-Missing-Scenes Chapter 2]], after Blue Diamond’s attempt at having a child ends in a miscarriage, she finds an experimental Glass of Time to travel to an alternate timeline where she succeeded.
9	** [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12609808/4/Faded-Blue-Side-Stories-and-Missing-Scenes Chapter 4]] involves the existence of an alternate version of Blue Pearl - a Blue Pearl that accepted Crystal Gem Pearl's offer to join them instead of declining - who used an experimental Glass of Time (similar to Blue Diamond from [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12609808/2/Faded-Blue-Side-Stories-and-Missing-Scenes Chapter 2]]) to try and go back in time the before the Diamonds destroyed Earth and its solar system. Unfortunately, it instead took her to an alternate timeline similar to ''Fanfic/FadedBlue''.
10	* AlternateUniverse:
11	** Chapter 2 is set in a universe where [[spoiler:Blue Diamond had a miscarriage and, using the hourglass, uses it to travel to an alternate timeline where it did not happen.]]
12	** Chapter 3 is set in a universe where [[spoiler:Blue Diamond confronts Rose Quartz late into her pregnancy and reconciles with her.]]
13	* ClosetKey: [[spoiler: In Chapter 8, Connie confides in Steven that she had a dream about being save by Amethyst and then kisses her, admitting that she might have a crush on her. Subverted, as Connie is a human girl and Amethyst is a OneGenderRace SiliconBasedLife Alien.]]
14	* IHaveNoSon: [[spoiler: [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12609808/3/Faded-Blue-Side-Stories-and-Missing-Scenes Chapter 3]] reveals that Rose Quartz came into existence when a heavily injured Pink Diamond underwent a highly experimental procedure that turned her into Rose Quartz. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything When the other diamonds discovered that she took the procedure against their wishes, they cast her out and disowned her]], leading to the rebellion. It is not until Blue Diamond met Greg and became pregnant with their child did she finally go out to reconcile with her transformed sister.]]
15	* MaidenAunt: [[spoiler:With the reveal that Rose Quartz was Pink Diamond in-canon, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12609808/9/Faded-Blue-Side-Stories-and-Missing-Scenes it is established that the same is true here too]], technically making her Steven's aunt.]]
16	* MistakenForRomance: In Chapter 7, White Pearl antagonizes Greg, giving him the same condescending schpeal her canon counterpart gave him on fusion in "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E12WeNeedToTalk We Need To Talk]]". What makes it different here though is that they actually are [[ComicallyLopsidedRivalry not romantic rivals]] here, Greg having no romantic interests for Rose and thus making her attitude completely one-sided. It is not until [[BerserkButton she implies that]] he is a loser [[FriendlessBackground devoid of anyone in his life but them]] [[SeriousBusiness does he get offended and tell her off]].
17	* OtherMeAnnoysMe: [[spoiler:The Alternate Blue Pearl in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12609808/4/Faded-Blue-Side-Stories-and-Missing-Scenes Chapter 4]] has nothing but contempt for the ''Fanfic/FadedBlue'' incarnation of herself, seeing her as nothing but a subservient coward. Since she was just like her before she took the Crystal Gem’s offer, it can be considered a case of IHatePastMe.]]
18	* {{Reincarnation}}: In chapter 3, Rose Quartz [[spoiler:is Pink Diamond, her gem reshaped and reincarnated into the form of Rose Quartz]].
19	* VillainousBSOD: In chapter 3, Blue Diamond comes to realize [[spoiler:how she is just like the many gems who rebelled when she abandoned her duties, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone suddenly empathizing with the countless rebel gems she shattered and corrupted.]]]]
