Hello lovelies! I've had a few questions come my way about Guardian either through this site, others, or in person so I figured why not take a chapter to answer some of these? Feel free to drop any other questions you have that I may not have answered and, if this one goes well, I'll be sure to answer them in another segment like this down the line. Let's get started shall we?
Where did you get the idea for Guardian?
Been asked this mostly by friends but for those of you who are curious it is actually losely inspired from a hazy dream I had a while back. And I mean losely inspired. I barely remember anything about the dream except for the whole bodyguard falls in love with woman she is protecting thing.
Are you completely caught up on RWBY?
Yes. Yes I am. I am a First member so I am able to watch them the day they come out and I always buy the volumes when they become available.
Your update schedule is erratic. Why is that?
Short answer. Adulting. Slightly longer answer. I'm pregnant and making another human is quite exhausting.
Will you be adding more chacters from the show?
Yes! Whether they are smaller, background characters, or larger supporting characters I do plan on adding more characters from the canon show.
How long will Guardian be?
Not a clue. Like most things in my life my writing style is quite erratic. I have two possible endings in mind depending on if I want to split this fic up into two parts or keep just one really long fic and I have important plot peices set in stone its just the filler and getting from point A to point B that I don't have solidified. As of now there is no set chapter cap for this fic.
Why is Raven so nice?
This is a recent question thats popped up and one that I expected. While Guardian is still set in Remnant and there are Grimm and Huntsmen and Silver Eyed Warriors it is still an AU and thusly characters are liable to be written a bit differently. That being said Raven wasn't always this nice. Everyone is older than their canon counterpart in this fic so Raven has had some time to reflect on how she treats her daughter. People do change and I believe that, as stubborn as she is, Raven is capable of changing too.
Things patched up between Ruby and Yang pretty quickly. Why?
Is it though? Just because it seems like they've cleared things up doesn't mean its completely patched up. There will be more sisterly angst later in the fic.
Why don't Ruby and Weiss play a bigger role?
Simple. Guardian isn't about them. It's Blake and Yang's story and while Ruby and Weiss will continue their supporting roles they are still just secondary characters here.
Will there be more references to the canon show?
Absolutely! Small little mentions here and there to certain events in the canon story. Think of them as Easter Eggs if you will.
Well that about covers it! As I mentioned before, if I didn't answer a question you would like to know the answer to then go ahead and ask away and I will try to get to them later on after a few more chapters and whatnot. Or if you absolutely hate the idea of me doing these little QA things again let me know that too just please be kind about it. Thank you guys so much for reading Guardian you are the reason why I write to begin with! Hopefully I will be able to continue to make you all happy with this fic. You're all awesome and your favorites and comments and follows mean the world to me.
