I Do Not Own RWBY
So I saw the Volume 5 premiere, and this idea has wormed it's way into my head. Before I begin I have to say, this story takes place in the future, and I really hope the Series does not end in this way in the future.

Yang Xiao Long took a long swig of the whiskey in her ever present flask.
"Well...it's been another year," she said softly. "Not much has changed since my last visit."
Another swig, then she grinned and held out her flask. "I suppose you'd likely reprimand me for turning into Uncle Qrow...but it helps." The grin slid from the blond's face.
"Blake has finally got the Academy in Menagerie open, she named it after you, Rose Academy. They'll be accepting their first students this year." Yang paused for a moment before continuing. "She asked me to teach there...I told her no. I know you'd be disappointing in me but...I can't. It's hard enough when I visit the other Academies, seeing the students bring backs too many memories. I don't think I can deal with that constantly as I would need to as a teacher."
Yang took a deep gulp from her flask.
"Weiss has really done a good job cleaning up the SDC, but I don't see her much. Winter says she's thrown herself into the company, that loosing you broke something in Weiss. I can't say I disagree, loosing you broke something in all of us."
"Nora and Ren are going to be parents. They don't know what it's going to be, Nora says the surprise is half the fun. Jaune's going to be the kids godfather, and they asked me to be godmother. I said yes. Hopefully, I never have to take care of the kid beyond a few babysitting jobs."
"Jaune's still working at Signal, and going out on missions. Though he's been talking with Blake. I guess he's going to try and open a combat school in Menagerie to supplement Rose Academy, but he's waiting for Rose to be a bit more established before he makes the move. The two of them already have a name picked out, Nikos Academy. I guess it's fitting in a way, that you and Pyrrha are honored this way."
"Dad's...not well. He's helping teach at Beacon now but...When I see him, he tries to put on a happy face, but burying you...I don't think Dad has ever really recovered from it."
Wiping tears away with her artificial hand, Yang took another swig of alcohol, emptying her flask.
"Uncle Qrow's sobered up. But I think that has to do with taking care of Dad more than anything. He's still not around much, his semblance and all, but he tries to help Dad out as much as he can. I sometimes see him holding Crescent Rose...just looking at it. He misses you lot, even if he doesn't show it."
"Oscars got Beacon running smoothly. I can't say much more than that, you were closer to him than I was."
"Finally I'm...well, I'm drinking aren't I. I spend most of my time on missions, and get drunk when I'm not. I know you'd be disappointed in me, but... you're my baby sister. I was supposed to protect you and I failed. It doesn't matter that you chose to sacrifice yourself, that you manged to defeat Salem...it still hurts, and I still failed."
Leaning down, Yang kissed the cold stone. "I love you Ruby, and I miss you more than anything."
Turning, Yang walked away, wiping tears from her eyes.
Behind sat two headstones.
One read:
Summer Rose
Thus Kindly I Scatter.
The second, the one Yang kissed, read:
Ruby Rose
And From Love's Shining Circle.

A bit sad. But I hope you enjoyed.
