Summary
Your child leaving the nest is a wonderful and slightly scary experience. A parent feels a lot of pride watching their little one find a home of their own. And the scariness of it comes from not being able to keep as close a watch over your child. Them moving to another country makes it so much harder to keep an eye on them in case something does go wrong.
Sometimes weekly phone calls just aren’t enough.

Summary
I needed a human AU for the third Amedot Bomb so I made one. I really like how it turned out so I wrote a one-shot about how Peridot and Amethyst met.

Summary
A fire left Peridot with nothing and nowhere to go, she contacted former classmates and one of them told Lapis about the situation. Lapis let Peridot move in with her and they developed a friendship.
One year later Peridot met a beautiful woman named Amethyst at the club and they kept in touch over the phone.
You don't really need to read the first two parts of the series, they just establish how some characters first met. I even vaguely mention their meetings in this story itself so you wouldn't be lost if you did skip them.

Summary
This is a collection of ficlets and one-shots for my human AU. I was originally posting them all as their own uploads but I decided to just make a single upload that I'll update when I think of stuff.
This collection has its share of cute goofy stuff, and bittersweet stuff, and even some outright sad things.
*Some of these were written a while ago, I just never had descriptions for them so they never got posted

Summary
Sometimes a family looks nice and functional but when you look closer at them you see problems.
Peridot had grown up in such a family so she knows what to expect from the event. But Amethyst hadn’t, sure she heard some stories but it didn’t sound too terrible. Well, apart from Peridot’s mother.
But… Peridot has the tendency to not give all the details until completely relevant.
