Steven Universe: The Return

Marcos17Rivas
It's been nearly a year since Steven set off on a journey across the country, fully committed to therapy to address his emotional struggles and rediscover himself. During this time, he hasn't seen his loved ones in person, and the longing to reunite with them-to share a warm embrace, recount his adventures, and reveal all he's learned-has grown stronger with each passing day. So, when his therapist finally discharges him, Steven decides it's time to return to his hometown, Beach City. He's not the same person who left, though. Gone is the boy who always put others first, no matter the cost to himself. He's learned the importance of self-care, realizing that he's not obligated to save the world at the expense of himself, that his happiness and health are just as important as anyone else's. Yet, just as he begins to reconnect with his old life, disaster strikes. Homeworld is attacked, Gems on Earth start to mysteriously disappear, and old enemies return seeking revenge. Now, caught between his desire for a peaceful life and the responsibilities of his past role as a savior of the universe, Steven must find a way to reconcile his newfound perspective with the demands of protecting those he cares about.

And he’s not just here to rekindle old flames. He’s here to destroy her. Before she can run, Dante traps her in a deal she never saw coming: Marriage. Publicly, they’ll be the perfect billionaire power couple. Privately? He’ll make her regret the day she walked away. But as the lines between revenge and obsession blur, Anastasia realizes one thing— She thought she was done with Dante. But Dante was never done with her. --- Excerpt "You think you can run from me again, Anastasia?” Dante's voice was calm, but the storm in his eyes told another story. She backed into the wall, pulse racing as he stalked closer, his towering frame cutting off every escape route. “I-I’m not—” she stammered. His fingers tilted her chin, forcing her to meet his cold gaze. “You didn’t just break my heart,” he murmured darkly. “You shattered it. And now? Now, you’ll pay for it.” Her breath hitched. “Congratulations, Anastasia,” he whispered, leaning in until his lips brushed her ear. “You just became my wife.”
