I still have fond memories of that summer of 2014. The first time i watched Steven universe and i saw Connie and Steven try (and quite frankly fail) to fight Lapis Lazuli in “Ocean Gem”.
It has been over six years since then, and SU is nearing its end. and while it brings a bittersweet taste to my mouth, i am glad to have been part of this community. And since this community has been through.... A rough patch to say the least in regards to our favorite couple. we decided to light up everyone’s mood and make another Jam-bomb!
it was a rather odd coincidence for the event to converge with actual airdates of the show, even more since it will be sandwiched between the second to last episode and the four parter of the finale, but we figured out, “we are definitely gonna need some positivity when the bad stuff inevitably happens and the whole fandom is sent to a pit of despair and uncertainty” so, during all the week of march 16th to the 22nd, Jam-bomb: Futur3 will be back!
PROMPTS
16th: Past/Future
17th: Prom night/Birthday party
18th: Tsundere/Yandere
19th: role reversal/Alternate Diamond Steven AU
20th:Eye for an eye/Future vision
21st: A new adventure/Domesticity
22nd: FREE DAY!

Peridot tinkered and fawned over the Dr. Cook grill for the better half of last week, as well as most of this morning. tinkering around with the mound of copper wiring, aluminum foil, a bike pump, a Stack of theoretical astrophysics books that were only partially eaten by Amethyst in hopes of absorbing knowledge to help Peri, a meat thermometer, and finally, the last package of ‘Cookie Cat’ Ice cream. Attempts were made using Lion Lickers, but it only yielded the kind of results that would be right at home with a budget sci-fi horror movie.
But after hours of backbreaking labor, the space and time portal device was complete. It may have looked like nothing more than an old counter top grill that hadn’t been used since Amethyst stepped on it. she may have been made of light, but that wasn’t enough of a reason for anyone to use it. attached to it was an old video game gun controller that was wrapped up in copper wiring. all these things would seem like ordinary junk to the naked eye. To Peridot, it was her Aria of technological prowess. Her Piece de resistance of her intellect, and a spit in the eye of all those theoretical astrophysicists who had laughed at her endeavors.
“Lady, Gentlemen, Gem, and all those in between, BEHOLD MY MAGNIFICENT CHILD!” Peridot exclaimed loudly.
“How many times have Steven and I told you, STOP STEALING BABIES!” Connie scolded Peridot jokingly. “But seriously, what’s that?”
“What’s this? WHAT IS THIS?!” Peridot screamed back in utter shock. “You fool! Can you not recognize your spring break salvation?! The thing that will make this completely normal week into an adventure of a billion infinite lifetimes!”
“If it was infinite lifetimes, isn’t the ‘billion’ part unnecessary?” Steven asked.
“Don’t mess with my funky flow, Steven!” Peridot growled. “But this thing… This magnificent child of technology that I had been in labor for days on end, this can take you to places that only the most insane, sickly mind could ever create.”
“Does that mean we could go to the ‘canon’ dimension and stop that version of myself from doing something stupid?” Steven asked.
“Also, adding onto it, would it be possible to convince that dimensional version of myself to look into either different college’s close by, and/or, take a year off to be with Steven as he goes to therapy?” Connie asked as well. This left Peridot in an awkward situation.
“Well… as much as I really needed to get that part calibrated, the ‘canon’ dimension is locked for now. But I’ll work on trying to find a way for Steven to prevent himself from doing something stupid. For now, the infinite dimensions are your oyster to do as you please.” Peridot said, trying to salvage her victory over science. “Heck, you can even time travel in your own timeline if you want. Go to the past and see your baby selves, or go to the future and see the heat death of the universe, you can do literally ANYTHING YOU WANT TO!”
“But wouldn’t that alter the timeline? Mess up the space time continuum?” Steven asked, sounding genuinely concerned.
“Not really. The past is already taken care of, since if you do go back in time, you would have already come from the future in the past. Anything you do now has already been done. Same with the future.” Peridot replied in a smug tone. “In a way, the tunnels and waterways of time and space had already been carved out. We’re nothing more but leaves going down a stream that has existed long before existence ever existed.”
“Whoah.” Steven gasped.
“That’s pretty deep.” Connie said, being deeply impressed with the smug peridot. “It would be nice to see other versions of ourselves throughout space and time.”
“Considering that all of Beach City is under quarantine, and we can’t really go anywhere.” Steven said, looking out at Priyanka, fixing up automated turrets that shoot hand sanitizer at people.
“We’re not under quarantine, Steven!” Priyanka yelled through the screen door. “We’re under attack by the Sharonna virus! And I’ll be damned if I let it go after my smol beans/ child and therapy patient.”
“Um, don’t you mean ‘Corona virus’?” Steven asked, perplexed at what Priyanka had said.
“Nope, it upgraded itself to ‘the Sharonna virus’. Now it’s just basically bleaches your oddly cut hair, turns your skin orange, and makes you go insane.” Priyanka said, grabbing a welder. “Yep, these babies can sanitize an Aquamarine from 50 meters in less than 5 seconds.”
“Oooookay then.” Steven said, “Let’s get out of here and go see some weird stuff!”
At that moment, a portal appeared near the temple door. A blue and green circle with brightly colored splotches of white swirled within.
“Wow, voice activation. Nice feature.” Connie said in delight. Peridot, did not share the optimism.
“Voice activation is still in alpha. This is not me doing this.” Peridot said nervously. “I shouldn’t have played glob.”
A second later, two people stepped through. One, being a tall, but somewhat mildly full-figured woman, and a slightly shorter and burlier man walked through. They had seemed oddly familiar.
“You’re not going anywhere.” The taller figure said, as the slightly shorter figure cross their arms in intimidation. As they stepped forward, the light from behind them started to obscure their vision less and less, until it was revealed that time travel did work. It was Steven and Connie from the future. The only person who hadn’t recognized it at first was, sadly, Peridot.
“Priya! A strange doppelganger of yours is telling us not to do stuff!” Peridot yelled. “Can you school her on how we roll in this dimension.”
Priyanka promptly rushed inside to see what all of the commotion was about, only to have her eyes shoot wide open.
“Oh no.” Future Connie groaned. “I remember this part.”
“Oh no.” Priyanka said, sounding worried. “You got my hips.”
“And that’s a bad thing why?” Future Steven said, feeling very defensive. “She’s a beautiful, brainy chocolate cupcake who deserves love, respect, validation, and also got any cupcakes?”
“Damnit, now I want cupcakes.” Future Connie said, no longer trying to look intimidating for the meantime. “And no, it’s not your fault, Steven… future Steven.”
“It’s ok, Peridot. It’s just my future daughter and son in law.” Priyanka said in a deadpan voice.
“Wait… son-in-law… We got married?!” Both Steven and Connie exclaimed at the same time, causing their future counterparts to slap their own foreheads.
“I knew it was going to be awkward as all get out, but my brain just imploded with the awkwardness.” future Connie said. “this is weird. We shouldn’t have done… I said this before… and this… AND THIS! What the heck!”
“Breathe, Strawbs. It’s going to be- wow! Yeah! that is awkward…” future Steven said in shock. “How are we remembering this moment so vividly?”
“Because we will remember this moment very vividly…” Future Connie said, turning to look at their starry eyed counterparts. “…for a very long time.”
“We got married…. We got married!” Steven exclaimed.
“Please tell me we did AFTER college!” Connie said, sounding worried.
“Hrmm… oh man. I remember this part…” Future Connie said, squinting her eyes. “You… you get married between the spring and fall semester in your 3rd year into your master’s degree in astrology and theoretical xenobiology.”
“We got married at a more appropriate time!” Connie sighed loudly. “But why astrology and theoretical xenobiology?”
“You take a couple years off before college to go travel the galaxy to think about what you want to do with your life. Some planets and stars got interesting, and you decide to learn more.” Future Connie said, sounding defeated. “But you don’t do it because we said you would do it. It’s just something that sparks within you. But that’s not why we’re here!”
Future Connie drew her sword as Steven produced his shield.
“You two are forbidden from ever using time travel!” Future Connie roared threateningly. This didn’t work.
“But we’re doing it right now.” Steven said, looking at the portal behind them.
“Also, there’s no point in threatening us, since we’re still alive right now.” Connie stated flatly.
“Okay… apart from the future, you are not allowed to use time travel until you’re 32 and 33 years old!” Future Steven scolded the two as angerly as he could.
“Why?” Steven asked.
The two of their future counterparts looked at each other and shrugged.
“Well… Bad things will happen.” Future Steven replied. Suddenly from behind, a little girl with brown, poofy hair and starry eyes popped through the portal.
“Mom! Dad! Aunt Peri says that you got another good minute of scolding before the portal closes!” The young girl said before looking over at Steven and Connie and blinking a few times. “That was you two? You’re so cuuuuuute!”
The young girl pulled her head back into the portal. This did not make things any better for the two future counterparts.
“GAH! Ok, long story short, Epi I.V. is your best friend because Nora got a big ol’ head. Don’t rush things. Spend more time with your parents, and the Sharonna virus won’t decimate humanity completely!” Future Steven said, walking backwards through the portal.
“And don’t be so hard on Garnet and Pearl. Or just moderately hard, I dunno. I’m literally repeating history right now. Love you, Mom! And love yourself Connie, no matter what. Bye!” Future Connie said, walking through the portal mere moments before it disappeared.
Steven and Connie stood in shock after what they just witnessed. After a few moments, someone said something.
“That… was my granddaughter.” Priyanka said, holding back tears. “I’m going to spoil the snot out of her.”
“Soooo. Where do you want to go?” Peridot asked Steven and Connie.
“Right now? Maybe to bed.” Steven replied. “That… that was odd.”
“I think I had enough weirdness for one day.” Connie said, as she slumped on the couch, with Steven laying his head on her legs.
Apparently trying to reconcile that two diamonds having children at the same time is actually hard to write. So instead i settled On a human AU filled with the thing we are afraid more: Homework.
Summary: Steven and Connie reflect over if college is actually worth it.
“Urgh… College can be such a hassle...” Steven groaned into his Girlfriend's bed.
“It usually is like that 99.9 percent of the time.” Connie said as she scribbled some notes into her notebook. “The other 0.1 percent is even worse though.”
“Connie, Do you wanna run away with me and run an apple farm?” He asked half serious. “Cause my assignments this week are from hell.”
“As much as I'd liked to do so, Being President has more rewards in the short term.” She said jokingly. She would always ditch presidency the minute he said that in a totally serious way. “And it shouldn't be that bad, Steven. The astronomy class hasn't gotten into the hardest themes ye-...”
Steven showed her a scroll of all the points that he would have to cover in a 100 page long essay about the sun.
“Oh...” Connie said.
“Yeah… Oh, indeed.” Steven said before plummeting back into the cushy bed beneath him.
“I know that it seems a lot, Steven. But you can do it if you really make an effort.”
“Yeah… You're right…” He said. “The deadline is in two months after all. Maybe by then I can get it done.”
“That's the Steven I love and know!” Connie said with a smile on her face.
“Thanks for the words of encouragement Connie.” He told her.
“Anytime!” She said.
“And what are you doing right now?” The young man asked.
“Well, I'm making some notes for tomorrow's class until I wait for the teacher to mail me the assignment i have for next week's class.” She answered him exactly as her phone ringed, notifying her that the E-mail just arrived. “Speak of the devil, here it is!”
She unlocked her phone to see the email with a bit of confidence.
Until she laid Eyes on the message's contents, that is. As her blood froze instantly as she processed the words she read.
“Connie? Is something wrong?” He asked worried. “You turned pale all of a sudden.”
“Say… Steven?” She said with a wavy voice. “Is the apple farm offer still up?”
“Huh? Why are you asking?” He said confused before she showed him the screen of her device.
The teacher had just told her that he wanted her to do a 250 page long essay about what were the legal consequences of the “Big donut incident” over the entire fast food legislations, with the use of only three sources of information and deliver it with a deadline 5 days for 70% of her grade.
Steven just stood there stunned, looking at the panicky visage of her girlfriend.
“I’ll ask dad if he knows about abandoned apple orchards we can buy.” He simply said.
“I’ll tell my parents.” She responded. Presidency wasn't worth all the hassle after all.

If she were just asking him to marry her, well, this would have been a lot easier.
Connie sat across the table from Steven, trying to stop her hands from shaking as she imagined all the ways this could possibly go wrong. The little box in her pocket weighed down on her, like an anchor threatening to drag her down into a proverbial sea, and she could barely focus on what Steven was saying.
“...so anyway, that’s what’s going on with the Rubies,” he finished.
He took a sip of his drink (sparkling water in a wine glass) and smiled.
“So, uh, what did you do today?”
Connie swallowed, her eyes drifting over to Ruby and Sapphire at another table. Both turned and grinned, giving her a thumbs up - they weren’t terribly discreet about it, but Steven didn’t seem to notice.
“I, uh, I talked to Garnet about something,” she replied.
Steven bit his lip, and Connie detected a hint of red on his cheeks.
“Look, I’ve been thinking lately,” she continued, “About us, I mean, and… I guess I was wondering… I mean, we’ve been together for a while now, and…”
She trailed off as Steven slowly withdrew the little blue box from his pocket. She blinked, dumbstruck - then, she slowly brought out hers.
“Both of us,” she said flatly.
“Yeah.”
“On the same day.”
“Uh-huh.”
There was a long, awkward silence.
At last, Connie broke, covering her mouth as she began to chuckle. Before long, Steven had joined in - the couple attracted more than a few stares as they laughed at the strange, implausible, entirely predictable scenario they’d found themselves in.
“Okay, this is…” Connie wiped her eyes, the laughter subsiding, “Well, I’ll marry you, that’s probably obvious.”
She wondered if engagement was supposed to be this casual.
“Yeah, same,” nodded Steven, “But…”
“But there’s one other thing I wanted to ask,” said Connie, “A-a-and it’s probably silly, and weird, but I talked to Garnet about it, and…”
She took a deep breath.
“...what if we became like her?” she asked, “Just… be Stevonnie. All the time.”
Steven nodded slowly.
“Because it’s like… this is probably silly, but their existence, to me, is like… like a hug, but more, and it doesn’t go away, and…” she continued, “F-forget I said anything, this is…”
Steven leaned forward, looking her in the eye.
“Connie,” he said, “There’s nothing I’d like more than to be Stevonnie with you.”
“YES!”
There was a loud crash as Sapphire jumped up, her chair falling backwards. She danced around her table, grabbed Ruby, and began to dance with excitement in the middle of the restaurant.
“I knew it, I knew it!” she exclaimed, “I knew it, Ruby!”
Ruby laughed, pulling her wife into a hug. They twirled around, their gems glowing as they began to fuse.
Steven glanced at Connie and smiled.
“I guess they’ve been looking forward to this,” he said.
“Yeah,” nodded Connie, watching Garnet twirl in place, hugging herself and shouting out in joy. Another patron tried to shush her, but the fusion ignored him completely.
Connie grinned slightly giddily and took a sip of her drink.
@jam-bomb
It’s rough but I finished it! for day 7 I drew our favorites jumping into battle with all new weapons #GiveStevenaNewShield
I’ve never participated in an event like this before so thank you, everyone, for being really inspiring!
This is for the @jam-bomb week. I totally forgot to do it so I scribbled these out really quick today ^^; They're pretty messy but I really wanted to upload something Jam Bud related :)
All the days had two prompts to choose from and some of them I couldn't choose so I just combined them (Days 2, 5, and 6 specifically)
Older Steven still looks like young Steven with stubble because that's just how I think he'll age, forever short and child looking but he grew out his facial hair so people would know he's older than he looks.
Also, I have no doubt Steven would wear only the frilliest, sparkliest, gaudiest wedding dress he could find for his wedding, he would accept nothing less!
