Soon And Evermore,

Some minor characters from my su oc au!

"Orphiment" original design by @pocket-gems

Kunzite originally adopted from this sheet by gums00se on deviantart

More about them under the cut!

Kunzite (purple- right gem), a very long time ago, at the beginning of the war for Earth. was given high rank and praise for doing something important related to the colony. After this, Kunzite became.... Full of herself and lazy. She would push tasks to her underlings while she got to laze about and do nothing. She said she was helping them! Maybe, if they tried hard enough, they could be almost as good as her!

Orphiment (yellow- left) is one of Kunzite's underlings. She is a plant researcher for homeworld who hates getting dirty, and hates her boss even more. She goes to great lengths to avoid organic grime and muck, and hates having to get down in the dirt for missions.

Kunzite, in the retreat, left an item of importance to homeworld on Earth (undecided what), and returns to get it thousands of years later. Or, rather, she sends Orphiment to get it while she relaxes in the safety of her ship.

Orphiment gives the crystal gems the runaround, and eventually leads them aboard the ship, ready to take the item home. Even if she kinda..... finds these Earth gems and odd earthling funny. If weird. She just wants to get back to clean homeworld.

Kunzite finally acquiesces and stands to face the crystal gems.... As a fusion. She orders her underling to fuse with her, so she doesn't have to put too much effort into the battle. Hey, look on the bright side, it's an honor to be able to fuse with one such as herself!

Druzy Quartz, their fusion, is boisterous and loud. Sorta a mix of Saradonyx and Sunstone personality-wise. She has two mouths. One talks in text shorthand/l33t speak while the other.... quietly corrects the grammatical errors. She has a large squeaky hammer as a weapon, combining Orphiment's syringe and Kunzite's spiked knuckles.

When defeated, Kunzite throws a temper tantrum. She should have won! She's always been told she's the best, so why did the crystal gems win! They must have cheated!

Orphiment finally stands up to Kunzite at her tantrum and tells her that if she had maybe helped, they would have won. And she's not actually so great. The rest of the ship crew pipes up in agreement. Kunzite is greatly offended and runs off to find a "better crew" who will "understand the benefits of the favors she gives them".

Orphiment gives the crystal gems the artifact back, and goes off into distant space with the rest of the crew. Off to see what wonders await out there without Kunzite breathing down their neck.

Tis the curve of your figure and the glint of your eye-

Tis the rose in your cheek and the touch of your thigh!

I’m over my head, boys, but I’ll wager my life.

On the sweet bonny lass who sails with the tide! 

A quick 1 am drawing of my Covellite and @croxovergoddess‘s Gold’s fusion! Bustamite! A pirate sass queen. She loves destruction and being overdramatic.

Back on the work force, baybey!

How about Fluorite

Instead of a Pearl or a Spinel, I went with a Spinel and Pearl fusion! This is Butterfly Jasper, the fusion of a yellowish green spinel and a blue pearl.

I liked the little gremlin me I drew earlier so I drew myself again with a Covah in that style. I was gonna do more than Covah but I got lazy.

me: I have a vague idea for this gem design that I should draw

also me: draws sinensis because he makes me happy

Aaaaaa I love this so much! thank you so much for drawing him!!

The Offers

(story under the cut :3c)

Simone took a deep breath of forest air. It'd been.... so long. She knew this instinctively. Somewhere, in her core, she knew time had passed. She knew Ella had abandoned her. Pity. The girl had shown so much potential. A natural with a blade. That was the past now, though. New potential was to be had with this next wielder! This- This-

Simone looked around in confusion. Where was her new wielder?

A whimper came from the ground.

Simone looked and frowned in worry. A very, very young boy was there. He was no older than ten. No- younger. He was dirty, his braid a mess. Staring up at Simone in pure fear. Her blade laid discarded to the side. He must have been trying to play with it.

Simone bent down to be eye level with the boy. This.... This was her new wielder? It had to be a joke. Surely, the curse wouldn't hit someone so..... so young. So innocent.

The boy scooted away from her, whimpering louder. Thudding against a tree behind him. No, no- he could see her. It had to be.... He had to be affected by the power of her curse.

God, why couldn't she have been more specific in her final moments? Only those willing could wield her! Then she wouldn't have so many failures under her belt. No CHILDREN! She didn't want to bring this child into all of this. She was thinking of rejecting this child. She could do that, she knew. She'd only done it once or twice. When those with too much evil in their hearts (but not enough to kill) tried to wield her. But....

"Don't-" The child- a drow, now that she looked better- tried scooting away more. He couldn't. "Don't hurt me."

That hurt to hear. Had someone whose soul was evil laid a hand on this child? That made Simone's heart grow with anger. How dare they! How dare they hurt someone so innocent- so new. So- So-

Like her.

She'd been hurt by evil at a young age too. A bit older than him, maybe, but that didn't matter. How was she to know that this child didn't have the potential to be a justice monger like her? Maybe in a few years.....

Simone smiled warmly at the boy and rose, dusting her dress off, "Oh, no no, my child. I would never hurt you. Please, tell me, what is a boy like yourself doing here? In this abandoned place?" Curiosity pricked at the back of her mind. What had gotten this boy so scared of an adult hurting him?

The child looked over to the side before pointing, "I fell."

Simone looked over. In the distance, a short cliff with a village atop it. Ahh. He must live there. He wouldn't be returning. She wouldn't bring him somewhere he obviously felt unsafe.

She looked back at him and smiled, "Could you tell me your name, darling?"

The boy shifted uncomfortably, "You first."

Simone smiled, putting a hand to her chest "I am Simone." The child must have a reason to be so uncomfortable with sharing his name first. Perhaps there had been fae nearby at one time. "Your turn."

The boy hesitated before speaking quietly, "Quynn."

Simone internally noted his discomfort at the name. Maybe something could be done about that. "Well, Quynn-" She frowned and bent down slightly. Serious now. "Where are your parents?" She had to see their souls. Only the evil could hurt someone so new to the world-

The boy shifted uncomfortably and looked down. He then looked at her defensively and spouted (quickly, like ripping a bandage off), "What's it to you?!"

Simone approached him carefully and offered a hand to help him up. "Well, child, if you had, hypothetically, a situation where you didn't want to go home.... I could take you with me."

He looked at her hand in curiosity before looking up at her with stars in his eyes. "Really? You're not just saying that? This isn't a trick or somethin?"

She chuckled warmly, "Quynn, I promise I would never trick you. No matter how long we decide to stay together, I will never trick you." She then frowned at him seriously, "But I will warn you, the path I walk is dangerous. You may be hurt, but never by me."

The boy hesitated a moment before taking her hand quickly. "Good enough."

Simone smiled. She always wanted to be a mother.

-

Simone shakily tried to get up. This couldn't be it- She couldn't lose. Not now- Not-

Not to Covah.

She looked at the boy she'd raised from seven. How had it come to this? He was so ruined. So hurt- She'd broken her promise. She was so terrible for hurting him so- But she couldn't think of this now. She had to fight to survive, for the first time in two thousand years.

Covah approached her carefully, dropping his sword. The rapier he'd hidden from her. Gotten to fight her. "Mother, please," He begged as he offered a hand to her. To help her up. "I don't want to fight you."

"Funny," She spit venomously, "You sure seemed eager to do that when we got up here."

Covah flinched before shaking his head, "Mother- please- it doesn't have to be like this." He smiled and motioned to the horizon. "We can leave here, together! We can start anew. Rid the world of evil without death. I don't know how but- but we can do it! We can change, you can change. You don't have to-" He frowned to her and flicked his eyes away uncomfortably, "We don't have to hurt anyone anymore. Hurt each other." He bent down to his knee. The one she'd ripped from him so brutally. "Please, mother, give this a chance."

Simone looked up to her son sadly. He sure had grown up, hadn't he? She was proud, despite everything. Despite the betrayal. Despite- Despite-

Her eyes caught the scar on his face. She..... She had done that.  She saw how Covah flinched away from her now. She... She was no better than evil, was she? The ones she condemned. Who was she, to say it was wrong but turn around and do it herself?

A hypocrite, that's what.

God, Covah was right.

Maybe.... Maybe Covah's future would be better without her. He'd be better without her.

That's all she wanted. Was her son to be happy. And he wouldn't be happy so long as she was there. He'd be uncomfortable around her, forever.

She smiled bitterly, sadly up to her son. Her baby Covah. It would be okay. So long as he was happy. That's what all mothers wanted, in the end, right?

"I'm sorry, Covah." She lunged at his throat.

Covah grabbed her nearby sword quickly and flung it into the volcano.

It'd be okay. So long as he was happy.....
