Crystal Lite AU
In the years since the Crystal Gems were last seen, things have gotten... interesting, in the Universe family. Monsters don't stop attacking the temple simply because its inhabitants are gone, and dangerous artifacts don't stop threatening humanity. The last remaining remnant of the Crystal Gems is one little boy, without any proper magical guidance or teachers of his heritage to show the way. What he has left to him is a handful of abandoned relics to piece together hints, and the secondhand experience of his very ordinary, very overwhelmed father.

Still, as he opens the back doors of the van to go visit the Pizzas, he has to consider... the mirror didn't have to show him anything tonight. It didn't need to try and comfort him with the image of Steven. It didn't need to try and reveal its origin. It had kept so quiet, for so many months, and it decided to reach out to him now.
He looks back, one more time. "Um. Thanks. For showing me. I..." Greg stops himself, shakes his head. He's said enough. The van doors shut, and he leaves the mirror alone.
