Summary
After a couple of rogue gems put her life at risk, Connie questions everything. She's loved being a Crystal Gem for four years. Training and fighting at Steven's side give her whole life meaning. But as Steven has learned more about the power he possesses and grasped more of it for his own, she's worried she can't keep up.
But Connie Maheswaran has never been the kind of person to give up just because of a little thing like human limits. Whatever it takes, whatever she has to risk, she will find a way to catch up.

But now that she's all caught up, the real struggle is trying to find the middle ground, to find a way to feel human when she's not totally human anymore.
A series of shorts loosely based around Connie's last year as a teenager and her feelings about what being a human-gem hybrid means to her.

Summary
Six years have passed since Connie fused with her own gem and became a hybrid like Steven. The two of them have settled into a life together, enjoying their hard-earned peace and allowing themselves a break. But an accident forces Connie to consider the cost of waiting and starts her and Steven down the path towards creating a future where all humans have the same chance at hybridization.
On their way, they find that the secrets of the gems are well-kept even from the gems themselves. To create their future, first they need to find the original designs for the gems, to learn why gems drain life and discover if there can be a better way to create them. But they aren't the only ones searching for those origins, and information isn't the only thing to be found there. Connie and Steven will be forced to make hard choices and grapple with gems who don't want anyone to have a choice at all as they search the skies and stars to build a new world.
