Summary
“Come in,” comes the soft and wavering voice of her closest friend.
Pearl enters to find the other girl sitting on the edge of her bed, her lithe frame illuminated by the sun’s early rays spilling through the window. Penelope’s hair, done up loosely into twin buns at the base of her head, shines brightly, and Pearl can swear it’s bright enough she sees real silver. Penelope turns to face Pearl, eyeing the things in her arms with intrigue.
“You’ve brought me something.”
“I thought you might like something more than gruel today,” Pearl says gently, setting the tray and basket on the wooden table next to the bed. “And there’s wine to go with it. Just a bit.”
Pearl, a handmaid amongst the staff of Queen Whitney's castle in the Kingdom of Valdis, and Penelope, a feeble and imprisoned princess, grow closer as tragedy strikes and Penelope grows more weary. Including a lot of unsanctioned hand touching.

Summary
Something the Gems are struck by, after the rush of delight at fusing with Steven has passed, is that Steven is human. And human bodies are made of flesh. And their fusions with Steven—well. Those are also made of flesh.
For beings who have only ever been made of light? It's really, really weird.

Summary
Bismuth steps into the kitchen while Pearl is filling the kettle at the sink and nudges her shoulder. “And you doll face? How are you holding up?"
“Well, Steven will be fine,” says Pearl, ignoring how her hand is shaking as she puts the lid on the kettle. “If he remembers to call when he needs help. I expect he will.”
She clicks on the stove and sets the kettle down. “I’ll be fine too.”
