Just an idea I had to write out and see what happens. What? You thought Greg and Rose Quartz were the only Gem/Human couple on planet Earth? This is a story about a different couple, between a Pearl and a human. Their lives were rather colorful before but moving into Beach City might add something a little more.

Another idea I had running around in my head. The Fire Nation asks much of her citizens, especially now and to those revered for war. An on-the-rise war hero just wants it all to end, to spend time with his family, and hope for the best of the Fire Nation. The War, the machinations of Fire Nation nobility, and his personal life will clash in ways that makes one wish for death.
