It all started as a simple wading pool party for Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Steven, and Connie... Until Greg informs them that the Marie Cousteau Marine Research Facility has been robbed and it has a signs of being the work of a Gem. This leads to them discovering a bruised and battered Lapis Lazuli floating in the ocean. But a freed Jasper quickly proves to be the least of their problems...Learning to Breathe Underwater is a Steven Universe fanfic on Archive of Our Own by Roads and Burrows.

comment
Elemental Baggage: Lapis Lazuli can make a tower out of the ocean, crush a robot using water pressure alone, and make armies of clones and weapons out of water...when she's close to the ocean. When the Gem Buster A.I. seals her into its core construct with the other Gems, she's forced to use only the water she has to hand, i.e. her wings. Steven even tries, with no luck, to see if anyone brought a water bottle with them.

Little Miss Badass: As in canon, Connie, who takes her swordcraft up a notch when she takes on giant robots and slices Jasper's arm off to rescue Steven when the former is on a cracked-gem rampage. At one point, Pee Dee reflects that out of all of Steven's friends and family, he called her to help Steven because instead of trying to run away from the Gem Buster that attacked the beach party they were all attending, she tried to run toward it.

Ambiguous Situation
 Learning to Breathe Underwater (Fanfic) / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: In Jasper's pre-Rebellion flashbacks, Rose Quartz's position on the Homeworld chain of command is left up in the air. She is seen commanding many lower-ranking Gems and in one scene speaks to Yellow Diamond as if they are equals, yet Yellow is able to effortlessly override her request for the young Jasper to be assigned to her command, and speaks about the other Diamonds "allowing" Rose to take in Gems considered rejects and deviants, implying she lacked the individual authority to do so herself. The author stated that they wanted to leave it ambiguous whether or not Rose was a Diamond, meaning she could be interpreted as a high-ranking Gem outranked by the Diamonds, a Diamond outranked by the other Diamonds, or something else altogether.

Jasper does this twice: she deliberately invokes it while insulting Connie for fearlessly facing down Jasper in battle but being terrified of her parents' anger and disapproval, which understandably hits home and dismays Doug and Priyanka Maheswaran, and then later plays it absolutely straight by calling Lady Emerald a sick sadist to her face.

Crapsack World: The story has the "Homeworld Is Horrible" tag on AO3 for a dang good reason. Among other things, Jasper's backstory involves her being the only survivor out of 600 Kindergarten Jaspers that were deliberately sent on missions that would get them smashed to bits in order to find the inherent flaws in their programming.

Defrosting Ice Queen: Lapis starts out cold and hostile towards everybody sans Steven, but starts to slowly warm up as the story progresses, and even strikes a friendship with Amethyst when the latter introduces her to eating. Towards the end, she even admits she's starting to appreciate Earth. Though not an Ice Queen by any stretch of the imagination, Connie admits to being afraid of Lapis in early chapters, but forces herself to spend time with her and later helps Steven rescue her from a Gem Buster and trains her in swordcraft, starting to befriend her.

comment
Fantastic Slur: Besides the usual "clod", an unnamed Gem in Lapis' flashback calls her "one-karat" for being a sculptor. Based on context, it appears to mean "worthless" (a sculptor would be of little value to the militaristic, conquest-obsessed Gem empire). Jasper also at one point calls Pearl "oyster waste", which seems to be a slur directed at Pearls specifically. During an argument with Jasper, Peridot calls her a "variegated coal lump".

Ax-Crazy: Golden Apatite, though not seen, is described as "a poisonous little so-and-so who doesn’t know how to toe the line, but she’s too dangerous to put a leash on, so she has to be lured with games and dainties instead". Judging from context, the "games and dainties" involve hunting down the canon former Knight of Cerebus and a Broken Bird with off-the-scale water-manipulation powers...which begs the question of how crazy this Gem IS.

Even Evil Has Standards: Peridot isn't especially impressed with humanity in general, or the Crystal Gems, but she saves Sadie from a rampaging Jasper, and later performs a Heroic RRoD to stop the homicidal AI she created from going on a quest to destroy all life in the universe. Lady Emerald is a walking, talking invocation of this trope. Yellow Diamond thinks she's too careless with the lives of the Gems under her command, and one of the serial-numbered Peridots working for her privately speculates on the extreme creepiness of a high-level Gem having her made-to-order Pearl constructed specifically to be The Voiceless. Jasper does this twice: she deliberately invokes it while insulting Connie for fearlessly facing down Jasper in battle but being terrified of her parents' anger and disapproval, which understandably hits home and dismays Doug and Priyanka Maheswaran, and then later plays it absolutely straight by calling Lady Emerald a sick sadist to her face.

Bad Boss: During the war for Earth, Blue Diamond believed that all her Gems had to be willing to die for her cause. After Rose Quartz defeated the first wave of her warriors, every Gem in her court was conscripted into battle, even workers and artisans who had no idea how to fight. Any of her officers who came back alive from the fight after losing were either killed or subjected to a Fate Worse than Death. Yellow Diamond doesn't care about anyone. Pearl's recording of her fight with Rose over getting Jasper reassigned to Rose's command implies that she doesn't even value herself except in terms of her own utility to Gemkind. The final chapter introduces a Homeworld Gem villain who's implied to be even worse than her.

Or you defected to the Crystal Gems...

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Lars is his usual rude, lazy, inappropriate self, but he gets very upset when he thinks the Crystal Gems are dead and apologizes to Steven, tries to be a bit more helpful after that, and even tries to defend Peridot from Jasper...by throwing rock-hard frozen donuts at her. With his eyes shut.

As if Peridot didn't get enough grief, her poor driving skills re: the Giant Green Hand Ship are often brought up by unimpressed humans. At one point she even bursts out in frustration that she wasn't even at the controls when it went down.

Aloof Ally: What Jasper becomes at the very end. She doesn't join the Crystal Gems (who doesn't know about her whereabouts, or if she's even alive), but she's preparing herself to fight Homeworld whenever they come to Earth (though it appears that she does it out of desire of revenge rather than wanting to protect Earth).

Freaky Is Cool: Part of Homeworld's reason for disliking fusions is that they usually have additional body parts, which are seen as grotesque. Amethyst, however, thinks that it's pretty cool, besides an additional pair of arms can be very useful.

Cast from Hit Points: During the final battle, when Lapis is far away from any large sources of water and needs it to use her powers, Steven suggests that since the human body is 80% water, she could drain the moisture from his body and use that. Everyone, including Lapis, immediately shoots him down.

Genius Loci: Rose's Room, as usual, decides to take its own approach to interpreting Steven's needs and wishes: this time, it involves thrusting Lapis into a Battle in the Center of the Mind and forcing Jasper to relive flashbacks of her career as cannon fodder and how she met Rose. Multiple characters lampshade the Room's odd behaviour, from bringing up things neither Rose nor Steven could possibly know (justified by the events of "Chille Tid" in-story) to flat out ignoring Steven's direct commands, but when the pink whale puts in an appearance, it's heavily implied that Rose herself has been calling the shots in the room this time.

Flawed Prototype: Jasper is part of a line of experimentally created Kindergarten Gems programmed to automatically regenerate even with cracked gemstones and be able to break out of bubbles. After she survived a mission that killed all her sisters, Yellow Diamond lied to her that she had survived because of her strength and that every Kindergarten Gem would be modeled after her, order to ensure her loyalty.

Just a Machine: Steven, being Steven, notices the Gem Busters repairing each other and views it as them helping their friends: Garnet has to shut him down quickly, because as soon as the Gem Busters detect him, they do try to murder him. He saves and rehabilitates the AI, giving her the task of using a few robonoids to search for corrupted Gems and Forced Fusions.

Clipped-Wing Angel: Jasper with her Gem intact is unpleasant, cocky, and aggressive. Jasper with her gem cracked is a homicidal one-Gem wrecking crew perfectly willing to kill Steven to try to get Rose to regenerate into her original form and destroy anybody who irritates her or gets in her way. Lampshaded by Pearl that a cracked Gem damages either a Gem's mental or her physical integrity. Taken to Body Horror levels when Jasper's bubble pops, and she immediately regenerates with her cracked gem...and starts to melt and fall apart.

Killer Robot: The Gem Busters, relentless Gem-hunting machines designed by the Homeworld to trap escaped Gem criminals and smash them to shards. Peridot mentions pairs of them being standard on all escape pods "since that one prison ship breakout". The real trouble only comes when one of Peridot's flask robonoids escapes and uses its nanites to repair one of the Gem Busters...which then starts building more Gem Buster robots.

Been There, Shaped History: The Gems have met a lot of scientist such as Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein, though Pearl tends to mock them. Pearl also claims that she helped the latter with the Relativity Theory. Pearl also claims that Chopin was a party animal. Given that it's Pearl talking about humans, most of what she said and did should probably be taken with a reasonable-sized grain of salt. In the final chapter, Connie tells her mother that Pearl has personal testimonials from Charlemagne-de-lion, Tomoe Gozen, and Jeanne de Clisson in lieu of valid certification as a swordsmanship instructor. The Mona Lisa is the Mona Garnet; it is displayed in the Louvre and as with the original, a part of the face "follows you around the room". Given that it's Garnet, the feature is the lips instead of the eyes.

Foreshadowing: During a movie night, Steven, Greg, Connie, and Lapis watch a thinly-veiled analogue of The Iron Giant, a movie about an alien war machine who befriends a little boy and sacrifices himself to save humanity. Flash forward a few chapters and Jasper tries to do just that, although it's implied to be motivated by despair rather than love.

And I Must Scream
 Learning to Breathe Underwater (Fanfic) / int_a8a04f6f
comment
And I Must Scream: Putting a living, intact Gem into a device as a power source, like what happened to Lapis, is called "embedding", used only as a punishment for Gems who have committed very serious crimes. Most Gems imprisoned this way do not retain any sense of sanity or self past the first millennium of their imprisonment, melding with the device they're powering. Removing a melded Gem from their device will kill both the device and the Gem. This is offered as an explanation as to why the Crystal Gems did not remove Lapis from the mirror: they thought she had melded with the device and removing her Gem from it would kill her.

What You Are in the Dark: Although she had an audience, the Gem Buster AI offers Peridot a chance to go home with a clean slate out of "gratitude", and none of the humans present could stop it; the AI points out that Peridot will be dead long before it reaches the Homeworld, so what does she care about the destruction of lesser beings and clods she doesn't even like when she could have everything she wanted? Apparently, the answer is: plenty. Peridot tells Silica (the rehabilitated Gembuster AI) that while removing the 'destroy Gems' part of her programming, she could have deleted all of her programming with no one being the wiser. Silica is appreciative that she didn't.

His Own Worst Enemy: Despite Peridot being complicit in perpetuating the forced fusion experiments at the Kindergarten, and Garnet's feelings on the matter, Garnet decides after a few minutes one-on-one with Peridot that she's an example of this trope, and that picking on her would just make Garnet a bully. Afterwards, while she's not exactly friendly to Peridot, she's more aloof and less confrontational to her.

Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: A big theme of the story. While Steven wants to see the best in everyone and give all the Homeworld Gems a chance, the Crystal Gems and Greg are willing to see things his way, but not at the expense of forgetting Lapis, Peridot, and Jasper's records where attempted murder and mayhem are concerned. While it's played for laughs sometimes (see under Once Done, Never Forgotten), at one point Greg tells Jasper outright that there is a part of him that will always hate the Homeworld Gems for having tried to kill Steven. He doesn't feel it would do any good to act on it, and he doesn't like the person that makes him, but given that this is Greg we're talking about, Jasper does the smart thing and takes him seriously.

Freudian Excuse: After having been rescued and offered caring and kindness by Rose Quartz, Jasper was lied to and used against Rose by Yellow Diamond, and she's not exactly happy when she learns the truth. It is implied that Lars is so grumpy and cynical because he was bullied when he was younger. When Ronaldo criticizes him for his obsession with being cool, Lars responds, "I learned a long time before that that if you don't fit in, people will completely ruin your life!" Lapis' Battle in the Center of the Mind hints that she's come from a Friendless Background, been bullied, was made to come to Earth by an abusive ex/owner, and when said ex tired of her, she was forcibly conscripted and made to fight against Rose's forces when she just wanted to run away.

Action Girl: Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Connie, and Jasper. Sadie also once again does battle with a Gem that's trying to kill Lars (and Ronaldo!), although she gets her butt kicked. Less traditionally, Pearl and especially Connie try to teach Lapis to fight in close combat, which pays off during her fight with Jasper in close quarters in Rose's Room: Reprise (Major Key), and Peridot, when she realizes she has no choice, builds herself a makeshift death ray and heads into battle with the rest of the Gems.

Mama Bear: All of the Crystal Gems, and to a degree eventually Lapis, but Jasper makes the mistake of turning her back on Pearl after having chased, grabbed, and threatened to murder Steven, and Pearl promptly ends their fight with extreme prejudice.

Primal Scene: When Garnet explains how human reproduction works, Lapis finds it generally hysterical and enlightening, but Peridot is so horrified by the concept that she lets out a Skyward Scream. She's even more horrified when she learns that humans as a species have live births instead of "doing something civilized like laying eggs," and continues to assume that babies are a communicable illness throughout the story.

Distracted by the Sexy: Peridot and Pearl are temporarily distracted by the sight of Rose Quartz's hips during flashbacks to Jasper's past while they're all stuck in Rose's Room. Lars suffers from this with Lapis Lazuli the first time he meets her. She's completely ignorant of his clumsy attempts at flirting and speculates to his face about his ear gauges being mutations. Lars gives up after that.

Pity the Kidnapper: Peridot takes Connie hostage. It starts to go wrong for her when Connie berates her for taunting the Gems instead of escaping or negotiating, and ends in a slapfight between a powered alien super-being and an unarmed grade-schooler...at least until Lapis Lazuli steps in.

Sitcom Archnemesis: Peridot develops this kind of relationship with Sadie and Lars, and to a degree Ronaldo: when her hurtful comments send him on a wild goose chase that ends up putting him in danger, she shows brief signs of remorse. He's later shown to be interested in starting a Wizards and Wishing Wells group that includes Peridot...and claims for himself the class that Pee Dee and Steven are certain Peridot will want (magus), leading both of them to speculate he's perpetuating the dynamic.

Go-Karting with Bowser: The Fanfic. Steven and Connie read comics and watch movies with Lapis. Steven tries to induce this with an unwilling Peridot by having an "intergalactic friendship breakfast" with her and taking her out for fries; he fails, but she sets up shop at the Big Donut for their free Wi Fi and trolls Ronaldo and Lars until Sadie kicks her out. When Jasper returns after her Villainous BSoD, Greg sits with her and lets her listen to his collection of heavy metal albums while they have a serious talk.

Gondor Calls for Aid: A unilateral example: after days of seeing the Gems battle robots and overhearing them talk about how the robots are initially only interested in killing Gems (and Steven!) , Beach City's humans hold a town hall meeting in Fish Stew Pizza and resolve to help the Gems, whether they like it or not. Pee Dee Fryman does this on behalf of Steven, to Connie, once again without being asked. His reasoning? She owns a BFS.
