What is Fracture AU?
Fracture AU is a Steven Universe alternate universe made by @Neko.Bituin where Ruby tackles Pearl instead of pushing Sapphire out of the way in The Answer. Their collision results in the unexpected fusion of Rhodonite, altering the course of the Rebellion entirely. More importantly, this AU follows the Crystal Gems as they navigate the challenges of the early Rebellion and the onset of the Gem War.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Rhodonite "replace" Garnet in the Crystal Gems?
Rhodonite doesn’t exactly replace Garnet in the Crystal Gems. Fracture AU isn’t a Swap AU, meaning characters aren’t simply taking each other’s roles. While Rhodonite exists in place of Garnet, their personalities and dynamics remain true to canon. The goal is to explore how this fusion reshapes the Rebellion and the Gem War while staying faithful to the original character portrayals._____________________Are the Elite Gems sent down to stop the rebellion the same rankings as an Aquamarine or a Garnet?
The elite Gems sent to stop the Rebellion aren’t the same rank as an Aquamarine or a Garnet. Instead, they serve as personal enforcers who fall just below the Diamonds in the hierarchy. These aren’t typical Gems—they belong to an entirely new class introduced in Fracture AU, with their roles and abilities being explored as the story unfolds.

Where to read Fracture AU?
Fracture AU updates frequently and features more content on Instagram, Tumblr, and the official website. If you're a new reader, I recommend starting with the official website for a more organized experience, though Instagram and Tumblr are also great options! :3
(Chapters 1-8 follow a strict left-to-right, panel-to-panel reading style that can be difficult to follow. While I’d love to revise the speech bubbles and panel layout in the future, time constraints make that challenging for now.)(Starting from Chapter 9, I’ve aimed for a more readable format with a clearer left-to-right, top-down flow.)
