Author has written 4 stories for RWBY.

Hello! I am AFiddlingSnail and I'll be your guide through my bio today!

I'm twenty, male, and currently a Computer Science & Creative Writing double major living in the US. I do love Comp Sci, but I've always had more of a passion for writing, however good at it I may be. Comp Sci pays better though.

Hmmm, let's see, interests! Yes, interests. RWBY, RT, Overwatch, Elder Scrolls, ESO, Rainbow 6: Siege, Stellaris, anything sci-fi (from Stargate to Warhammer), LotR, GoT, ASoIaF, ancient and medieval history, World War Era history (both wars and the interwar period), blah, blah, blah. Nothing extraordinary or unusual there.

Favorite movie: Um...hmmm...oh! Return of the King! Lots of good memories of that one growing up.

Favorite Food: I dunno, pork belly or brisket probably. If you ain't had 'em then you ain't lived.

Favorite Show: A tie between GoT and Band of Brothers.

It's most likely that anything I write will be focused on the RWBY-verse, but there could be some Overwatch or even Elder Scrolls here and there.

Stories:

The Ivory Champion - My first story, a Pyrrha's-back-from-the-dead tale. Generally pretty slow I guess? Chapters typically about 3,000 words; currently on hiatus. Warning: it's pretty heavy on the word vomit.

Sanguine - A Ruby focused story, though there will be PoVs from other characters. A canon-divergent, AU-ish sorta deal where Patch fell when Ruby was nine, things happened (which will be revealed later), and now she's an assassin with only the best of intentions. Kind of. Chapters will typically be about 6,000 words; updates as soon as I can, but don't expect more than one per week.

The Dusts of Time - Focusing on a future Weiss and Jaune around 33 years old and their misplaced time. Can they get back? Do they want to get back? Will they be able to change anything at all for the better, or will everything just get worse? Mainly a romance story with a time travel element, I'm concentrating on the relationship between Weiss and Jaune, and how their current situation will affect that. Should get pretty sappy at some point, but there will be bad stuff to balance out the joy of it. Chapters will be however long they'll be, don't have a benchmark or release schedule for this one.

GoT/ASoIaF & RWBY Crossover - A crossover that focuses on our favorite hotheaded blond Yang Xiao-Long in the world of GoT. Takes place towards the end of the books (Winds of Winter)/Season 6. Explores a fair amount of Essos and stuff in the first arc, and perhaps has less political machinations than something in GoT should, but it focuses on the climax of the series and such. Will also continue after the "end" of the actual ASoIaF story and the Winter.

Galactic Remnants (working title) - A sci-fi AU that will draw a lot from everything sci-fi ever written/filmed/programmed. If you've played Stellaris then it's kinda like that in how much it incorporates. Very, very early planning stages, won't be out for a while, but boy am I excited for it!

At the moment, since I am a full time student, I don't have too much time to write, but I'll update my stories as often and as soon as I can. Come Summer I might even be able to update weekly if an internship doesn't get in the way.

Well, that's about it! Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings, and y'all have an awesome day!

One-Night Brand by KtyouVsWriting reviews
Yang just wanted to be a better friend to Jaune and help cheer him up, but one thing led to another. That one night together was all it took for them to see a different side of each other. Sides seldom seen... but they're still just friends. Yang is definitely not noticing the dork more and Jaune is certainly not falling for another girl. It's just some clean release. Nothing more.

Cut From the Same Cloth by Myareska reviews
He hadn't gone to combat school; he hadn't even taken an entrance exam. But Jaune Arc figured if he could at least make it past Beacon Academy's initiation, then he might just have what it takes to become a huntsman. And in a sense... he's right. The little training he received from his sister may just be enough.

Reiteration by Phailen reviews
Remnant. The word left a bad taste in my mouth even now, so many years after I'd woken to find myself in this living nightmare. The strong survived and the weak perished, trampled underfoot by those with the willpower to do what was necessary. My goal, then, was simple: to survive, regardless of the cost. Realistic character progression. Abandoned.

Captain Dragon by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
Yang wasn't used to leadership, but she wasn't going to accept Ozpin's suggestion of mandatory rest either. Not when it meant losing her spot on Team RWBY. If she had to lead a rookie squad of police officers against the White Fang to prove she could still fight, then so be it. Too bad no one told her the VSPR was made up of Vale's worst criminals, many of which she knew by name.

If it doesn't matter how hard he tries, doesn't matter how much he fights. Then maybe it's time to just kick back and enjoy himself. Fate can find someone else to be its whipping boy.

Cinder is dispatched on a mission to kill Qrow before he can recover. In the midst of the attack, she does battle with Jaune Arc, and finds herself unable to kill him.

From Beyond by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
Seeing that young man die in initiation was horrifying for her. Even with all her time in the White Fang, she hadn't expected to see such an idealistic man as Jaune Arc die like that. It should have been nothing more than a tragedy... Instead she's now stuck with the lingering spirit of this guy following her around, and no one else can hear or see him in any way. Jaune x Blake

Tragedy leads to a fall from grace. A sister is lost and another loses her way. Innocence is corrupted. Friends and lovers try to pick up the pieces left behind. Dark days dawn in the wake of sorrow. My second published work and an attempt at a darker story. Some gore, but nothing too excessive.

Stress Relief by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
In a world where your allies can be just as dangerous as your enemies, sometimes it can be difficult for a criminal mastermind to find a little stress relief. That blonde idiot, Jaune, was just unimportant enough, just malleable enough, to be a viable option. It was meant to be a one time thing, an easy lay. Emotions were never supposed to get involved.

One Good Turn Deserves Another by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
Jaune wasn't exactly Blake's type, but giving him a hand was the least she could do after he helped her out... it didn't have to mean anything - no matter what Yang implied! Also would Ruby cut it out with the knowing looks, I'm just returning a favour! Blake x Jaune realistic romance, focused on their times at Beacon Academy.

"What do we know about him?" "Not much, professor. He was covered in dirt and sand, the uniform he was wearing was very weathered. Nothing in his pockets except for ammunition, explosives, and maps. There was a radio too but we can't get it to connect on any channel." "Insignia?" "Just one thing, over his left breast pocket on the uniform. It reads 'U.S. Army'."

Sanguine reviews
They called her lots of things: killer, murderer, criminal, psycho, butcher, cutthroat, and much more, but she didn't care what they called her, didn't care what they shouted and screamed. She helped people, did what needed to be done, did what others were afraid to do. An assassin she may be, but her actions were right. Necessary. She's Ruby Rose, and, deep down, she is good.
