comment |
No One Said Life Was Gonna Be Fair is a 36-chapter Steven Universe fic based around Greg/Jasper.The story begins when Greg Universe, a depressed 40 year old car-wash owner, meets Jasper Lazuli, a 36 year old retired soldier suffering from PTSD. Greg gives Jasper affection that she can't get at home. Her distant wife Lapis abuses her, while her teenage daughter Mal doesn't understand her mother's mental illness. Jasper's commitment to her wife stops her from making a move on Greg, but this all changes as Jasper's marriage deteriorates.The fanfic is NSFW, with several graphic sex scenes, a lot of cursing, and a ton of violence. The original story was deleted off of Archive of Our Own but has been reposted here (and here). |

The Mistress: Lapis has an affair with Peridot and plans on leaving her wife for her. Gender-inverted. Rose had an affair on her wife with Greg, which resulted in Steven. |

Friends with Benefits: Downplayed to more kid-friendly terms with 14-year olds Mal and Steven. They like each other but also like other people. As a result, they're reluctant to become a full-blown couple. They decide that it's okay to kiss, even if they're not together. |

Domestic Abuse: Lapis is physically and emotionally abusive towards Jasper. Jasper victims blames herself and refuses to leave her wife because she loves Lapis, instead making up excuses on why they should stay together. |

Transplanted Character Fic |
| No One Said Life Was Gonna Be Fair (Fanfic) / int_5ebe78be |
comment |
Transplanted Character Fic: This fic has virtually nothing in common with its original setting. It takes loose inspiration reinterpreting the series into human terms. Lapis and Jasper's unhealthy fusion turns into a toxic relationship (with Malachite as their daughter) and Rose Quartz being Jasper's Diamond is changed to her being her superior in the army. |

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul |
| No One Said Life Was Gonna Be Fair (Fanfic) / int_72ce3f54 |
comment |
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Instead of the kinda-implied-but-never-really-confirmed relationship between Rose and Pearl that Rose would drop whenever she found a human she liked, Pearl and Rose were married, and Rose had an affair with Greg that resulted in Steven. Pearl hates Greg because of it and doesn't want him to come near Steven. |

comment |
Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed with Kevin, who's show to be a lot nicer with Greg than he was in canon, but still show to be a bit of a Jerkass to Stephanie when he hits on them and they reject it, although chapter 23 does reveal it to be a genuine facade, unlike in canon. |

| No One Said Life Was Gonna Be Fair (Fanfic) / int_a7850fbf |
comment |
Only Known by Their Nickname: Most of the characters are referred to by their canon names except for a few like Mal. Because of the suspended disbelief required for so many people named after gems living in the same town, several are explicitly nicknames. |

| No One Said Life Was Gonna Be Fair (Fanfic) / int_a91078ea |
comment |
Adaptational Jerkass: Most of the cast has been given this treatment: Lapis is more physically abusive and aggressive than in canon. Rose cheated on her wife with Greg, without telling either Pearl or Greg about each other. Peridot cheated on Amethyst with Lapis, without even telling Lapis that she had a girlfriend. Pearl outright hates Greg and wants him out of Steven's life. |
