OK but consider this: AU where gem reproduction doesn’t suck and Rose is the crystal space rock queen and Steven is the prince.

Steven is still half-human and everything, but he only knows about Earth from his dad’s stories (and music CDs/DVDs Greg gives him as birthday presents) about it, so he gets curious and uses Lion’s portals to explore Earth (right under the pointy nose of Royal Advisor Pearl of course; if she realized he was going she’d have a panic attack. (Royal Guard Captain Garnet knows, of course lmao)). He discovers donuts and meets Connie (who he thinks is a princess, but she can’t explain to him how she isn’t haha).
