Author's Note: I return from the dead! Although I did promise to return with a fanfiction or two in stock (A Mass Effect one where Joker starts the Normandy version of Achievement Hunter and a Dangan Ronpa AU in which the events of the game are actually a play) but my mind was so fixated on this plot, more specifically the chapter below. Now dad lent me his (mine?) laptop, I can do late night updates since I'm more inspired at night and keeps me away from doing my homework (-glares at chemistry homework and review-) Hope you enjoy.

Before I go, here's some notes that will help TWAU/Fables and RWBY's timelines work at best (for me atleast):

-Fabletown is located in the Kingdom of Vale, still a secret community and never discovered by the mundies

-'The Farm' has yet to have a location somewhere in the world of Remnant since they don't really mention locations and cities or physical scenes of inhabited kingdoms outside Vale in the show. Chances are it might end up in Vacuo.

-Instead of events of Fables being years after TWAU, it'll be months later since it'll correspond with the beginning of Volume 2

-Spoilers for the comic/game and volume 2


Chapter 1

"You're not as bad as everyone says you are."

Those 9 words still rang in Bigby's ears. Those words came from an unknown girl (fable?) he saved from the drunken Woodsman. Who was she? All he ever knew was her name, Faith. Faith came to collect money off of Woody and Bigby managed to walk in on the tipping point of the argument. He came to a conclusion she's either a prostitute or a loan shark, but that peculiar ribbon tied nicely around her neck debunks the possibility of a loan shark. A part of him wonders if they'll ever cross paths again, but he disregarded that and reminded himself that he needs to head back to Snow and Bufkin to see if there's any Fables who go under the alias Faith. If she did end up being a Mundy, then there will be problems.

The Woodlands were just blocks away when the sheriff came across another incident in progress. It was a guy and a much younger girl falling from a dust shop window. They both wore black and red clothing, but the only red on the guy was his glasses and his tie. The girl, however, has red on almost every article of clothing she has on. What makes this mundy girl different, however, was a red cloak slightly fluttering in the wind as she got up and pulled out something that unsheathed itself into a scythe. 'With that kind of weapon, she looks like a huntress.' Bigby thought. He looked back at the shattered window to see the all so familiar bright orange hair standing at the edge in front of clones of the red tie guy. It was Roman Torchwick, an infamous criminal to both fables and mundies. Bigby was close enough to hear Roman command the clones to attack the girl. He was going to intervene, but the girl swiftly managed to knock them all down to their feet (along with an abundance of rose petals scattered everywhere, when did that happen?). As she was finishing up the goons, Bigby spotted Roman making a run towards a nearby ladder to the roof of a building, but not for long. The sheriff sprinted and successfully pinned Torchwick almost at the bend of the buildng.

"Torchwick…" Bigby growled.

"Hey, wolfie!" Roman said calmly. "Can't wait for another round of fetch, right?"

"Enough of the crap. It seems so low of you to hire mundies and rob a small dust shop, so what's the big idea?"

Roman just laughed. "Would love to talk, but my employer wants me back home by midnight."

Before Bigby could question him further, he didn't see Torchwick pulling some sort of trigger and something exploded by his feet. This forced sent him flying and a sharp ringing to his ears. Moments after he landed he can make out a feminine voice calling out to him, asking if he's alright. When his vision recovered, he saw the red cloaked girl leaning over him.

"Are you okay?" She said for the probably hundreth time.

"Just a scratch, what happended at the shop?"

"Well-" The duo heard a helicarrier's engie revving up. "Well explain later, got a criminal to catch. I'm Ruby, by the way."

"Bigby."

With that, Ruby sped towards the ladder and used her rifle part of the scythe to help her get a boost over the ladder. To Bigby, it was another storm of rose petals that scattered his vision. 'These 'semblances' the mundies are calling them are damn odd.' He mentally noted. He got up, brushed off any petals that landed on him, and went back to his original objective. He mentally noted himself to remind Snow if Little Red was still around and had a child or something.


I DO NOT OWN FABLES, THE WOLF AMONG US, AND RWBY. FABLES/WOLF AMONG US BELONGS TO VERTIGO COMICS AND TELLTALE GAMES RESPECTIVELY AND RWBY BELONGS TO ROOSTERTEETH.

Now I must sleep and prepare to have Volume 2 finale feels...
