A/N: The pearl in this story, I'm not going to refer to her as just Pearl (like we do the original), to keep it straight in my head.

Blue Pearl has been witness to many terrible things that have happened in her Diamond's court. Unspeakable acts of terror that used to make her shake. Her Master's rage is rare and sensible. What she doles out is exact, precise and always terrifyingly brilliant. The boisterous, exaggerated exhibitions of the other Diamonds makes Blue Diamond's castigations seem subdued and courteous. But her prowess as Diamond has never gone unnoticed or been questioned, and is always reinforced when the court is disrupted.

But everything begins to change when the sapphire leaves.

Nobody leaves. Not Blue Diamond's court, not ever. There have been thousands of gems, low level nothings that come and go, but the court has always remained strong through the millennia. No one wants to leave or rather no one has ever dared to. It is seen as an honor above honors to simply be in the presence of their Diamond. To share her air, to speak to her, to touch her; unspeakable acts of privilege that the common gem can't even begin to imagine.

So it is beyond baffling when the sapphire leaves – runs away with a common no-nothing ruby to an organic planet with no way to return.

It makes no sense to Blue Pearl. The sapphire, the only one in their court; and perhaps the only one of her skill in existence, lived very well. Her position is one that was created for her, not assigned to her. Blue Diamond would give the sapphire nearly everything she asked for without question. She was regarded highly in all the Diamonds' eyes, given respect and appreciation where others would receive disinterest and flippancy. So no one understands why she leaves.

The fusion incident would have been forgiven. The ruby shattered for ruining the sapphire's clear vision and she would have been coddled and indulged by the court for millennia. To fuse with a gem unlike yourself…it must've been horrifying. Especially such a lowly gem at that. Blue Pearl remembered how unlike herself the sapphire had been in the moment after that…abomination came apart.

Though they never spoke to one another, Blue Pearl felt as though she knew the sapphire rather well. Sapphire was calm, sure, and impassive; nearly a perfect emulation of their Diamond. Her voice had always been low and certain, but after she had fallen apart, her voice trembled with distress.

Now Blue Diamond may have been impressively cruel to those who opposed her, but she regarded her courtgems highly. Blue Diamond had personally chosen every single gem in her impressively large court. Everyone had been handcrafted for their Diamond and so were very precious to her.

Blue Pearl had come to know the subtle inflections and faint movements of her Diamond very well during their time together

She had to.

The faint tremble of her Diamond's lip, she was suppressing a smile. If her fingers on her right hand twitched, then someone was going to be hit. If she brought her large hands to her lap, she was about to squeeze someone until their form failed. So when she saw the slightest grimace, she knew that her Diamond's anger had come to boil.

No one hurt gems of Blue Diamond's court.

Perhaps the Sapphire had mistakenly thought that the entirety of their Diamond's anger was directed towards her. Perhaps that is why she ran away.

Whatever the reason, the calm world Blue Pearl had come to know came to ruin. It started not even a few hours after the incident occurred.

"My Diamond, we have arranged for you and your Pearl to be transported back to Homeworld." The unfortunate turquoise stated. "Yellow Diamond is worried for your safety and wants you and the gems you have assigned here to retreat until a respectable army can be assembled."

"We are in no way threatened by a rebel and her defective pearl. This is my planet, I can handle this matter by myself" Blue Diamond whispered fiercely, her dark fingers rubbing her hidden temple. "I do not wish to go back to Homeworld. Arrange something else."

"S-s-something else, my Diamond? B-but Yellow Diamond demands-." The turquoise silenced when Blue Diamond lifted two fingers. The air shivered as a dense dankness settled down on all their physical forms. Beads of water began to coalesce on the turquoise, caressing every bit of her freckled skin and pooling directly on top of the gem nestled in her throat.

The turquoise quaked violently, the screen tablet in her hands falling to the floor. The guards in the room looked on without sound and Blue Pearl feared that she was about to be cleaning up the turquoise's shards.

"A r r a n g e. S o m e t h I n g. E l s e."

"Yes, my Diamond. My apologies my Diamond." The turquoise stuttered, shaking even as water slowly dissipated back into the air. Tears wet her cheeks and she stood back up from retrieving the fallen screen. "W-where would you like to go?"

Blue Diamond was still before sighing heavily. "One of my other planets. I want oceans. Water as far as the eye can see. I hate all this…undeveloped green land."

The turquoise left them, nearly running out of the room, and they sat together in composed silence. The safety point that was programmed into the walking throne had brought them back to Blue Diamond's throne room. Here there were only several guarding jaspers, the court left to dismiss and prattle among themselves elsewhere. No doubt that gossip of the thing formed in the court would be racing through the empire before this planet completed a single rotation.

Blue Diamond leaned back into her throne with a quiet, long sigh.

"My Diamond," Blue Pearl whispered, delicately approaching her forlorn master. "Please, tell me how to serve you. I beg you."

Blue Diamond lifted her giant hand and Blue Pearl took it eagerly. Blue Pearl knew how much this horrible day must've strained her master and only wanted to do as she was made to do.

"Show me it."

Blue Pearl's gentle ministrations on her master's beautifully soft hand froze and a shiver ran through her entire body.

"S-show you the-."

"The fusion." Blue Diamond gently cradled Blue Pearl's small face, her palm caressing her entire head. "Show me it."

Blue Pearl nodded, releasing her little frame from her master's grip and summoned the image. She kept her form very still, even when Blue Diamond shifted closer and closer. Hauntingly blue eyes peered from the shadows of her master's robe, glowing eerily in the dim lighting.

"Disgusting." Blue Diamond waved her fingers, leaning back into her throne. Blue Pearl let the image fade away. "Truly an abomination. Fusion is meant as a tactical strategy, only to be shared between two gems of the same type and class."

"I-It will be okay, my Diamond." Blue Pearl whispered encouragingly, approaching her Master's lap. "Everything will be alright."

Blue Diamond chuckled darkly, lifting Pearl to her lap and stroking her fuzzy head. "The fusion…it must've been disconcerting…that is why she left me. She wasn't in her right mind."

"Surely so, my Diamond." Blue Pearl clasped her hands together tightly. "That ruby must've done something to her."

"Sapphire has never fused before. There are only two others like her. She would never have left us in her right mind." Blue Diamond gently tilted Blue Pearl's head up, rubbing her thumb across the perfectly round pearl embedded in her thin chest. "That ruby defiled my court, made me look like a fool. That was my sapphire and that little clod stole her away."

Blue Pearl distinctly remembered the sapphire being the one to run and the ruby being rather adverse to the idea, but decided to keep that to herself. There was no reason to further incite her Diamond's rage.

"When we get back to your palace, I will arrange the grandest of baths. Then I will throw another gathering. A grand party, of all your court." Blue Pearl huffed quietly, her thin arms shaking with her determination to right the wrong of today. Blue Diamond watched on with veiled amusement. "I will comb your hair too an-and I will dance for you and sing! Or perhaps do you want a true performer, I could-."

"Shhhhh." The tip of Blue Diamond's index finger pressed against Blue Pearl's lips. "You are such a good pearl, always thinking of your master. We will do all those things, but before we do, find Beryl and tell her that every ruby in my possession…"

"Yes, my Diamond?" Blue Pearl shuddered as the dark veil of her Diamond draped delicately over the entirety of her form. Her master's face loomed only a foot away. A silent puff of cold air brushed her hair from her face. Gentle lips brushed against her naked forehead, sending shivers down to the tips of her toes.

"Shatter them all."

A/N: This was totally unexpected, I didn't plan on writing this. Made the mistake of falling in love with Blue Diamond and I wanted her to be quiet evil and super cruel, but at the same time really protective caring. Also love Blue Pearl, hope we get to see them again someday.

There have been tons of theories sprouting up, talking about how Garnet was probably the reason why Homeworld started experimenting with forced fusions. I wanted to expand on the impact Garnet had not only on Ruby and Sapphire, but the world they left behind.
