It's basically a [[FandomSpecificPlot Momswap]] AlternateUniverseFic where Steven's mother was Blue Diamond instead of Rose Quartz, [[DeconstructionFic while also exploring the repercussions of such a drastic change to the canon]], and how that affects everyone's characterization and development throughout the story.
''Faded Blue'' is the first story of the Fanfic/HowIWonderWhatYouAre series.
It is followed by two prequels:
* ''Fanfic/DiamondInTheRough0TheCluster0'', which shows how Greg and Blue Diamond first meet and how their relationship grows
* ''Fanfic/AGemAHumanAndABaby'', which explores Blue Pearl's own feelings of her diamond giving up her life for her son to be born

''Faded Blue'' is the first story of the Fanfic/HowIWonderWhatYouAre series. It explores the life of twelve-year-old Steven Universe as he learns about his Gem powers and his heritage as Blue Diamond's son (mostly with Blue Pearl teaching him), while Greg is spying on the Crystal Gems in Beach City.
This story also currently has two prequels:
* ''Fanfic/DiamondInTheRough0TheCluster0'', which shows how Greg and Blue Diamond first meet and how their relationship grows
* ''Fanfic/AGemAHumanAndABaby'', set directly after ''Diamond in the Rough'', detailing Blue Pearl's struggles as a ParentalSubstitute towards Steven

However, he hasn’t really been shown as actually ''wanting'' that much, relatively – he loves Earth as it is, and his "end goal" when the story starts is to tour all of Earth before eventually exploring space.

** Lapis gets released from her mirror a fair bit earlier. Since she immediately meets up with ‘her Diamond’, she never even attempts to return to Homeworld.

* TheMole: Justified with Greg. He only comes across Rose Quartz - leader of the Crystal Gems, shatterer of Pink Diamond and Blue Diamond's enemy - by pure coincidence. He tried to keep his distance but Rose seems to be fascinated by him and quickly becomes friends. He then uses her as an unwitting informant in order to keep Steven and Blue Pearl safe, and later uses her to find Rose's fountain so that Lapis can heal her cracked gem.

Once, a Gem ran away from Homeworld, adopted Earth as her home, fell in love with a human rockstar, and had a child. That Gem was Blue Diamond. Now twelve years old, Steven is coming into his power… but the more he learns about it and his mother's legacy, the less he may actually want it.
The fanfic also set in the same world as the prequel ''Fanfic/DiamondInTheRough'', showing how Greg and Blue Diamond first meet and how their relationship grows.
