The Cryptid Gems

The Cryptid Gems is a alternate universe story created by both Dia and Jasper on TheCryptidGems tumblr page.

About
In this Alternate Universe, The Crystal Gems Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet are all humans and depicted as college students who work at a convenience store, and babysit Steven Universe during the weekend. In this world, the Crystal Gems are paranormal investigators / monster hunters. The other Gems depicted are monsters or anomalies.

According to the creators, any character that made their debut in the canon series prior to "Lion 4" have some form of involvement, though who exactly is involved (aside from Lapis, Peridot, and Jasper) is still up for debate.

Characters

 * Steven Universe - A young kid who is baby-sat by the Crystal Gems on the weekends. According to the comics, he has a "aptitude" towards monsters and anomalies and things relating to the sort.
 * Pearl - One of the paranormal investigators. She had been attacked by a monster prior to the story, leaving her with a scar on her arm. It is unclear what monster it is, though evidence points to Sugilite.
 * Amethyst - another one of the members of the paranormal group. Not much is known of her as of now.
 * Garnet - presumably the oldest paranormal investigator. Like amethyst, not much is known of her specifically.
 * Lapis Lazuli - Lapis's debut in the AU resembles her canon counterpart, as she is depicted as a ghost inside a cursed mirror. Humans seek out her mirror for some purpose due to her phenomenal supernatural powers.
 * Peridot - Peridot is depicted as a form of A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) program.
 * Jasper - While it isn't confirmed, she could be depicted as a were-creature, specifically one transforming during a full moon, otherwise she's a normal human being.
