Fragments III

Summary:

200 drabbles, 100 words each. || Fragments from Steven's universe.

[Prompts open!]

Notes:

Hello, guys! Welcome to Fragments III, the third and likely final installment in my 100-word drabble series! (I qualify 'final' with 'likely' because I say this now, but who knows, lmao? It'll all just depend on my muse, which changes every time I so much as sneeze.)

If you're new to Fragments, then the way it works is that you give me prompts from SU, and if I choose yours, I'll try to encapsulate it into a 100-word drabble. I can take prompts from any part of the series—from the main show to Future. And honestly, I'm especially excited to delve into the movie and Future because I didn't do that in the previous fics!

I don't quite take every prompt, but please don't think that this is a reflection of you; it's more so on me if I can't particularly find inspiration for it.

And finally, as I love using this drabble series as a chance to challenge myself, I've created two goals for myself over the course of this fic!

• I want to include all of the relatively significant characters from the franchise at least once in this fic! I've created a list to keep me accountable on my statistics sheet, so if you're struggling to think of a prompt to send me, see if you can come up with something with a character I haven't used yet!
• I also want to use all the letters of the alphabet in the titles at least once. I did this in the first Fragments, and it was fun to try and get the obscure letters!

Fragments III will also be the longest drabble fic I've ever done, so I'm excited to eventually say that I tabled another 30,000 words.

It's a long climb, but boy, I'm always excited for the journey.

Prompt: Steven meets his therapist!

Chapter 1: Baggage

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

“So the first thing you should know about me,” Steven begins nervously, gripping the bottom of his shirt, “is that, uh—“

But before he can really get going and reveal his gemstone like it’s a second head, Dr. Yeoh, his new therapist, shakes her head, smiling gently.

“Wait,” she interjects kindly. “I don’t want my first thing I know about you to be something that you’re obviously dreading to tell… so let that be the second thing, and tell me something else first.”

Steven’s eyes widen.

Dr. Yeoh’s gaze becomes serious.

“The baggage in your life doesn’t define you, Steven.”
