Fanfic Recommendations: The Next Generation

[Mamorien]

My exposure to Steven Universe (and Steven Q. Universe himself) consists of YouTube clips and sheer Internet osmosis. In the case of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, only the latter obtains, along with vague memories of having maybe watched an episode or two of the original She-Ra: Princess of Power in my younger and more vulnerable years. In spite of this, I can follow The Elsewhere Saga and She-Ra and Steven Universe: Heroes United well enough to recommend them both.

Have you ever wondered what happened on Homeworld after the war for Earth? How about how normal humans deal with the aftermath of the Gem invasion? Where did the Gems come from, anyway? Here you will find possible answers to all those questions, and many more. Prepare to dive deep into: the Elsewhere Saga.

Ten complete stories and counting, mostly focused on original characters, human, Gem and other, the earliest taking place centuries before the Crystal Rebellion, the late-most sometime after SU Future. https://archiveofourown.org/series/1425562

Being the Chosen One can be taxing, especially if you had no say in the matter. Neither Steven or Adora chose to be chosen, and often worry if they can handle the forces of evil that threaten their worlds. But when two not-so-distant worlds collide, they will have to decide if they will follow their destiny, or forge their own path. One thing's for sure: once they unite, these heroes will always save the day, and turn darkness to light!

It all started when Lars Barriga and his motley crew of off-color Gems were captured by the Horde, and it only shows signs of slowing down because its author is subject to human limitations and has knocked canon into a cocked hat. https://archiveofourown.org/series/1440292
