Okay, here me out. I have a vision.

What if there was an au where Prodigy was still prodigy, still maintained all its characters, and all it's plot, but just had the hierarchy/concept as Steven universe?

Basically it's prodigy but with the addition of the gem species.

User is a gem (whether it be half creature half gem, which you can do) and Pippet is technically a gem with the added lore that he was originally a gem working under the academy (In this AU the academy higher ups and most of the academy workers are gems, and basically the Diamonds are replaced by the ancients [if u know who the ancients are u know ball knowledge] so yeah.)

While User is a gem, they try to keep it under wraps cause it might cause problems if it is found out that the Puppet Master has an actually competent Gem on his team.

Pippet is a Tanzanite (a purple gemstone, much like an amethyst but I didn't want to make him an amethyst, he just didn't seem like one)

I still don't know who the artist issssssss 😭 but creds to them.

Scenario: After finding out user is a gem, he suggests that they try to fuse, under the excuse that they could create a strong minion that could assist the Puppet Master.
