Summary
Ruby has always been an open book, blacked out with flaws, and Sapphire a closed diary, laced with lies. Somewhere between and behind their façades, they find weaknesses - and possibilities - in each other. Long before they trained to rescue others, they learned to rescue themselves. Long before the safety of their desideratum, there was this.

Summary
"They wouldn't be able to focus on this class period. Not as keyed up as they were now. But they couldn't afford to be like this all day. So they did what they always did when trying to ignore the shitty hand fate dealt them on any given occasion and focused on digging up the bright side of things.
One: They'd likely saved someone's life, or at least kept them from getting grievously injured.
Two: No broken bones, which is more than they could say for some other notable instances.
Three: They hadn't lost their lunch or wallet when they'd dropped their phone.
Four: They didn't get blamed for causing the accident
Five: Since so many bad things happened this morning, it probably maxed out their hypothetical Bad Luck Meter. Which must mean the rest of the day would be smooth sailing.
If they stretched number five, Ruby could even almost believe this morning just meant they were going to get hit with a stroke of good luck later in the day.
Wishful thinking? Absolutely.
Was that about to stop them from hoping? Not a chance."

Summary
"Ruby leaned into Garnet’s side gently and stayed there, head moving up to catch passing scenery.
Sapphire ... sat with perfect, patient posture, contemplating in that quiet assured way she usually had. Garnet gathered that confidence close to herself and felt it work alongside the warm pressure on her left to bolster her spirit.
Perhaps this wasn’t as bad as she was making it out to be. Whatever history - or lack thereof - that Garnet had with The Garden, Ruby and Sapphire would be with her to help her handle it.
Though, that was assuming they found the right door in the first place."
=====
Garnet, Ruby, and Sapphire met under less than pleasant circumstances, and have been working together for the past couple of months to explore and control their newfound magical abilities.A mysterious caller offers to mentor them, but their first test is this: find the entrance to The Garden, a local urban legend whose entrance travels from doorframe to doorframe on a whim.

Summary
Valentines day in the little duplex Garnet, Ruby, and Sapphire call home is at once a group effort and an individual showcase. None of them put much stock in the idea that a single day should be reserved for extravagant declarations of love, and sprinkle it throughout the year as they see fit, but they also aren’t the types to skip out on a chance to make their significant others feel special, however overhyped the day may be.

Summary
Diamond Academy is the most prestigious all-girl boarding school in the world. The school takes in the daughters of diplomats, spies, heads of state the world over. All the same, every year the school accepts a small number of scholarship students who are recommended by existing alumni or who win certain contests the school hosts.
Pearl is grateful to have been accepted to Diamond Academy, even if it was only so that the Quartz family could have peace of mind that their eldest daughter would be safe at her new school with someone to watch over her and report back to her family. But would she be able to fit in among even the other scholarship students, let alone an entire school of students far above her station?
Diamond Academy is a strict environment, but with girls like these running down the halls, there's bound to be fun lurking in the corners! Follow Pearl and her classmates as they live, learn, love and laugh. And maybe have a little drama. Or a lot of drama. Hey, it won't be easy, but they're not going to do it alone!

Summary
This is a prologue for my Western AU, On the Lightning Trail. The main story focused on Sapphire, so I felt it would be good to show some of Ruby's backstory, why they have issues with self-worth, and why they would be so determined to give someone like Sapphire another chance.

Summary
A happier timeline for my main Western AU, On the Lightning Trail, where a tired and lonely traveler hears the music and laughter from a steamboat and decides to climb aboard. They find all the dancing and merriment they could have hoped for, along with a introverted young singer that they can't resist any more than they could have avoided following the music.
With each step down the road, for better or worse, we change. Here is a timeline in which paths crossed sooner rather than later.

Summary
The Freshman Fifteen is supposed to be applicable only to students, but long distance and time are also supposed to spell the end for a romantic relationship. Ruby has refused the latter and inadvertently subverted the former, and Sapphire has most definitely noticed.

On The Lightning Trail: A Tale of Fool's Gold and Glass Gems by GwenhwyvarReads
Fandoms: Steven Universe (Cartoon)
01 Sep 2017
Tags
Summary
Everyone knows when cold and warm weather fronts collide, the result is turbulent weather. Storms rage and lightning flares on the horizon. Instability is created. The atmosphere changes.
A naive sheriff and a femme fatale lose themselves in an unforgiving wilderness where the lightning storms weave their paths together.Stranded alone in the wilderness, Ruby and Sapphire, a sheriff and the criminal they’d intended to catch, must try to maintain an uneasy truce until they can reach civilization again. Ever-optimistic, with a firm belief in humanity and justice, Ruby tends to grate on (and bewilder) the extremely jaded murderer, Sapphire. Sparks fly when two such opposing forces collide, but maybe they can learn from each other. That is, of course, providing they can survive the wilds and each other first.

Summary
“My friends and family say I have a nice voice, but they’re kind of biased towards me to begin with, you know? So the fact that you liked it without even seeing me is… nice.”
“If a little stalker-ish.”
“Okay okay, maybe it’s a little weird, but I sent a ferret with a sandwich into your apartment, so we’re even. Alright?"

Summary
In photography, a 'cut-in' is defined as something that "shows some (other) part of the subject in detail."
Ruby is usually a very open and forthcoming person, but when Sapphire finds the one exception to the rule you could say she... cuts-in on it a little bit. [oneshot, cross-posted on ff.net]Series

This isn’t breakdancing anymore, and it certainly isn’t ballet. This is something else entirely. What do they call it? Honestly, Sapphire couldn’t say. Being Goofy To Unorthodox Music, perhaps. Goading A Sexy Breakdancer Into Touching You, maybe. [oneshot, dancer AU, cross-posted on ff.net]
