Okay so, full disclosure for those who don’t know me, I’m CoreyWW, a fanfic writer myself. I know A LOT of other fanfic authors so a lot of these will be from people I know and have spoken to. I don’t think this affects my recommendations, but I felt like it beared mentioning. I WILL mention one fic I wrote as well because I’m a huge shill, but only one. Okay, now that that’s out of the way.

SU FANFICS: My Personal Favorites (plus one I actually wrote cause I’m a shill)

Little Rebellions by Completely Different - I still need to read the final chapters of this, but what’s there is good enough to recommend. Each chapter is a standalone story about a pearl on Homeworld doing a small act of rebellion in some way. The stories are very varied and interesting. Lots of really great stuff in there.

Seeds of Rebellion by airamcg - This is an old one so some of the headcanons in it are outdated (but after recent events, a few of those headcanons actually aged surprisingly well …) Each chapter is only 100 words long, telling the story of the rebellion. There’s a lot of great Rose, Pearl, Ruby and Sapphire stuff. It has a REALLY interesting reinterpretation of Ruby and Sapphire’s relationship actually since at first they straight up don’t get along, so that’s great. Good for people who enjoy space opera type stuff.

Long Term Memories by Swordtheguy – A fantastic adventure/mystery story with a great premise. So in this stories first chapter, Garnet is nowhere to be seen, but a Gem called Spinel is there in her place. And …. absolutely no one seems to find anything odd about this, until Connie and Steven fuse and suddenly remember Garnet … and have no clue where this other Gem came from. A fun story with a lot of lighter moments to break up the tension. Highly recommended for anyone who likes adventure or mysteries.

Broken Pencils by BarracudaHeart – (tw: suicide attempt) This was straight up my favorite su fanfic for a while … and it’s about Lars before a lot of people cared about him. Lars attempts suicide and the rest of the fic is Sadie and Steven dealing with the fallout. It’s a very mature story about dealing with depression and moreso what it’s like when someone you love has it and you’re not sure how to help. It’s a very serious story done well. This is before Steven was explicitly said to be 14 so he acts a little younger than canon here, but aside from that, it’s an amazing story and well worth reading.

Something About Roommates and Girlfriends by TheLillie – A human AU story with Lapamedot. So the premise of this is Lapis and Amethyst are roommates. Amethyst’s girlfriend is Peridot … and then one night, Lapis realizes she’s getting a crush on Peridot and utterly hates herself for that. Its … a really well done human AU. It’s actually the only human AU story I’ve really been able to get into. Lots of great shippy stuff in there for people who like lapidot and amedot since this story is pretty much both. And Lapis I genuinely think is written better and more sympathetic here than she is in some of the actual canon episodes she’s been in, So lotsa good stuff there.

The Connie Maheswaran Fanclub (Or: How Connie Became the Most Popular Topic in School After She Pulled a Sword Out of Lion in Front of Literally Everyone) by me – So this is the one I wrote. It’s a comedy/dramedy that starts as simply being about Connie being a celebrity around her school after everyone sees well … essentially what’s described in the title. It eventually evolves into an ensemble story about Connie, Steven, Peedee (who goes to the same school as Connie) and Jeff (you know, that kid Connie almost killed in Mindful Education, he’s has stuff to do in this). While it is at its heart a comedy, there ARE some heavier moments later in the story, hense the dramedy tag. If you enjoy Connverse, stuff with the beach city humans, or humorous stories, I hope you check it out and enjoy it.
