First of All, thank you for the interest, (makes me think my writing worth something and Valid as fuck😁)

Second, this was a spur of a moment thing..but I do have a few things I can say so far.

Setting and Timeline

This is story takes place in Empire city rather Beach City, but it will still incorporate well know BC location ( Big donut, temple, ECT.)

This is a slight retelling of SU ..it follows canon on some terms but mostly it's an original AU.

Story begins with it version of Bubble budies/mirror gem hybrid(The one shot)

The world

The world is a modern world with a Magi-technological underbelly.

While Magic is very much alive, most humans has wrote it off as myth and have forgotten about it and anything involving it. There are some human who know how to use magic as fuel and or energy. Furtherless who know how to use magic in the mythical way.

There are more than gem, human, demon, and Djinn in this au. With the exception of Gem, most disguise themselves as human or like Gems, can pass for human regularly.

There are two types of Corrupted gems. The Beast type (Common,Canon) and The reverted type. The reverted are capable of speech and intelligence but are still prone to destruction.

Species

Humanity: In the past humans were magically attuned just as any other race. They utilized magic in the forms of Spell, conjuring, and such. After the Corruption event, Humans lost their ability to use magic and turned their sights toward industrialization and technological advancement. Still there are humans who have gain magical ability though such things as Martial arts, and technological infusions.

Demons: Nighmarish and twisted Magical beings. While some are naturally born, many of them were gentle and kind beings warped through corruption. Their forms varies and not all are malicious.

Arcana: Beings from a different realm that govern the magic of earth, The arcana of magic origin. Immensely powerful The main purpose of the arcana is to keep and preserve the balance and magic of this realm. Felt but never seen, these beings are unable manifest physical form. As such, they passed the responsibility of magic preservation to their descendants, the Genie.

Genie: The descendants of Arcana. These being are in essence a small peice of the the Arcana existence given form on earth. Forever chained to the will of the Arcana, they are benevolent and emotionless beings, only made to be used as tools for the preservation of magic, and grant wishes for them lucky enough to find their lamp or to the Genie themselves, they did so with a smile. That was until the corruption gave birth to the Djinn.

Djinn: The 'corrupted' genie. Genie corruption ran more along the line of humans. The corruption changed the Genie point of view. While they still preserved magic in the world, they were no longer slaves to the arcana. No longer tools to grant the wishes of others. They now craved to experience all life had to offer. Complex emotions like love, hate, jealousy, pride, lust. What it was like to give birth, to die, and to be resurrected, they was able to grow into their own beings fully. This affected their power making it as chaotic as the life they now sought and allowing it to grow continuously.

Because of this, the arcana saw the Djinn as possible threats and in doing so, planned the 'Djinn desolation' event. This event dwindle the numbers of 'living' djinn from a thousand to a mere thirty five. The bodies and lamps of the dead Djinn were destroyed and repurposed to use the Djinn unfathomable power as sources of magic for the planet.

As for the remaining thirty five, They too were sought after for their immense power, but was also feared for it. Unlike the first generation genie, Djinn were actually quite volatile when feel threatened. A one on one fight with a Djinn was/is a foolish endeavor. As time went by the thirty-five vanished Either by being repurposed as sources of magic, finding new lamps and retiring indefinitely or disguising and integrating themselves into other species society. Djinn had all but fell into are myth even among demon, magical creatures and even Gem kind... until Connie's rebirth.

"Well... This wasn't how I thought today was going to go." Onyx thought as she walked back into the beach house from the temple, rubbing her nape.

"Is everything ok, Onyx? Where's Steven?"

She looked up to see the gem and looked up to see Black Pearl, Amethyst Ametrine, and Garnet Andradite, the Crescent Gems.

"Steven's fine...Onyx chuckled sheepishly, 'better than before, actually.' She mused mentally.

"Then what's wrong?"

 "why would anything be wrong, Amethyst?"

The current leader folded her arms and arched her brow at her predecessor and sister.

"Because you are looking at the ceiling and not my eyes. What are you hiding with that shit poker face?"

"I'm just making sure everything is in o-"

"Nini?" Garnet gasped, wiping her left eye.

'Oh..crap, perfect time for Garnet's future vision to self activate.' Onyx sighed.

"Nini?.. Wait..." Amethyst looked at the talker gem, " are you talking about...Kahanni?"

"The Maheswaran Djinn?" Pearl gasped, "Is that why they came? Is she alive?" Pearl's eyes narrowed, "did she send those demons after us?"

"Well, I see your steadfast paranoia is still intact, Pearl."

Their reactions to Connie's voice were immediate.

Pearl summoned her trident from her neck and pointed at the temple entrance, standing in front of Amethyst and Garnet.

Amethyst felt the heart she didn't have rapidly beat against her breast as her mouth dried, and she shook her head in a mixture of disbelief and hope.

"Nini!" The childlike Garnet ran past them all and into the temple only to later be carried out by the Djinn, with Steven at her side.

"Ka-kahanni..?" Amethyst gulped as she saw her, same as she did so many centuries ago. "You're really.
