### Post:
|
||
|
||
Steven Universe fanfic by yours truly. Steven starts asking questions and using available magical devices to full effect.
|
||
|
||
Hard-ish Science-Fantasy, Soft-munchkin, and very character-driven.
|
||
|
||
Now with *12 additional chapters*, and almost 40K words, because I am a very fast writer with nothing to do.
|
||
|
||
[First Chapter](http://archiveofourown.org/works/3808279/chapters/8485900)

|
||
>> The problem is that the Clones are impermanent, and qualitatively different.
|
||
>>
|
||
>> And your bitter tears of hanging on my cliffs only makes me stronger. :P
|

|
||
>>> **u/FeepingCreature** [+1] *GCV Literally The Entire Culture* (a day later)
|
||
>>>
|
||
>>> Nah, the trick is that you can have a room that contains more than 100% me. So it wouldn't even matter which clone dies, as long as one survives, if we ran on Waves Arisen rules instead - ie. it can defer the decision of which me becomes "final me". Not a practical difference in this scenario, but the lack of clear differentiation might have prevented the weird divergence of this arc.

>>>>
|
||
>>>> The problem is that the clones /are/ smoke and mirrors. They dissipate after an hour or two. They can be un-made by the wand. If the wand breaks they disappear. There's a number of other disadvantages too.
|

|

|

|
||

|

>> Have fun. You can catch all the goodies at [The World of Steven Universe](http://theworldofstevenuniverse.blogspot.com) (click the "Episodes (English)" drop-down menu at the top, then "SU (season 1)" and the rest should be obvious. Make sure to have an adblocker.)

|
||
>> It says in the initial authors note: The plot starts after the episode *Reformed* in season 2, which is episode 57 overall. Then chapter 9 details modifications to the events of StevenBomb 2.0 (episodes 58–62) and chapter 26 details StevenBomb 3/Week of Sardonyx (episodes 63-67.)
