Where will Fate and his blasted E-rank Luck take him? - Will deviate heavily from RWBY canon storyline, so consider it an AU.

When Jaune's forged transcripts were rebuffed, his only option was to return home in disgrace or forge a new life in Vale. Opening a diner was an impetuous decision, being good at it a stroke of luck. Becoming the favourite haunt for students, teachers and criminals alike…? That was neither, but it sure did keep things interesting. Wasn't the civilian life supposed to be easier?

Bullied, Belittled, Berated. No one believed Izuku could become a hero, not even his idol, All Might. Hopeless, Izuku takes a desperate leap.

Midoriya Izuku, by his idol, was told that he couldn't be a Hero. The hope he held for so long was shattered in an instant. However, he wouldn't—couldn't let things end there. He was only told that he couldn't be a Hero because no Quirkless had become one before. He was going to be a Hero. He was going to show the world that Heroes don't have to be born. They can be built.

He was a hero, vanquisher of men and beasts, daedra and dragons. But now, Fate calls him elsewhere. How will he fare in this world, so unlike his own? "Wait... are those... rabbit ears?"

EMIYA finds himself in a strange world filled with evil creatures and superhumans. He thinks it's all a dream, a sham, no one could free him from Alaya's own prison. However, even with his many doubts, fate is constantly proving him wrong. Maybe there is a happy ending after all.

Everyone was dead. Salem had won. They'd lost. Every plan foiled, every fortress conquered, every silver eyed warrior dead. The world had reached its end. Only one great huntsman remained. Yet now he, too, was dying. He was not blind to the end of humanity as he knew it. The future held no salvation. So Jaune Arc didn't look to the future. Instead... he looked to the past.

Sometimes a chance meeting can be the beginning to something bigger. Maybe it can even help ease some of the wounds of the past and start a new path.

These are the members of Team RWBY, a Hunter Team that will shape Remnant's history.

Some laws are too fundamental to break and the team is forced back to the time where everything made sense, still unsure who their enemies are. (Sequel to Butterflies)

Also, White-rose.

Being reborn in the world of RWBY means that the Grimm are your natural enemies. My case is the complete opposite. I'm not really sure who I pissed off in my previous life but being reborn as a Beowolf was definitely not something I expected. (SI)

Kratos had lived too long, in his own humble opinion. He could hardly do a thing without memories slamming him like a freight train. With hope, and any luck, these kids may just make life a bit more...hopeful.(GoW has no character list, for some reason...)

A fanfic of a fanfic. (with permission given) Here is my take on the continuation of Not this Time, Fate by Coeur Al'Aran. M rating for swearing and violence.

she came out of nowhere, smiling at him like they were long lost friends that knew each other's deepest darkest secrets. Yet he doesn't recognize her at all.

The six years following the Battle of Beacon have not been kind to the disparate former members of Team RWBY. But now Ozpin needs some people with a particular skillset, people who will not quail at getting their hands dirty, or bloody for that matter. And he has an offer for the four disjointed former Huntresses-in-training that they simply cannot refuse. (Complete/Abandoned.)

Blake isn't the only one keeping her Faunus heritage a secret. Ruby's been hiding a set of ears herself, fearing both humans and the White Fang's hate since she's only part Faunus.

Be human." He chuckled tiredly. "That's not so easy Yin." a kiss met his cheek. "Then let me give you a second chance where powers are accepted.

For the past 11 years, Summer Rose was missing and presumed dead after a fateful mission. Alone, locked away to see her daughter again, away from her family, she was giving up hope... Unless a familiar face comes along. Rated T. Ladybug and bits of Freezerburn. Suggestions for RWBY Chibi is up. (Very Slow Updates)

What if Ruby Rose was torn from her home? What if she was raised by the alleyways and smooth-talking crime lord? What if she was sent to Beacon along with an elite team of spies and assassins? What if indeed(Strawberry Shortcake Slow Burn and a few OCs running amok. AU)

It was an accident that brought Weiss, Yang, Blake, and Ilia to the past and they weren't too happy about it. But hey, they've learned to take advantage of unfortunate, completely avoidable situations in the past (future?). Why would it be any different just because it was time-travel this time? [crack, time-travel] [ON HIATUS]

Roman Torchwick didn't exactly expect to find a dead woman's body, and he certainly didn't expect to find a little 3 year old Ruby Rose with it.

Izuku Midoriya and Kyoka Jirou don't have much in common aside from being classmates. Jirou happens upon Izuku suffering from his mental scars in the midst of lyricist's block. He opens up to her. But it's just a classmate being a Good Samaritan, right? It can't take less than a week for someone to fall hard for someone right? Right? *Rated M for language and eventual smut.

WhiteRose and Bumblebee One-Shot. Enjoy!

What if Izuku's talent for analyzing was part of a Quirk all along? Will he become the next Symbol of Peace, or will his superior mind forge a new future? (AU, OP Izuku)

Izuku has a dangerous quirk, one that can rewrite the blueprint of everything alive. He still want's to be a hero though, and he has the best support he could get, in the form of his uncle and little sister. Bioshock elements. Izuku produces ADAM. Rated M for safety.

Reborn as Weiss's twin brother, he will now try to live out a life where he could steal a little bit of happiness for himself, get laid a few times, and try desperately NOT to be a hero. Too bad his sister seem determined to be a Huntress. At least the girls at Beacon got spunk.

When Ruby Rose went to Beacon Academy two years early, she had assumed she was going to be the odd one out. Her sister, the Ice Queen Heiress and the mysterious dark-haired girl aside. What she didn't expect, what none of them expected, was that an even more mysterious teenager would join them. One with a power no other Hunter or Huntress has...and one that just may turn the tide..

Turns out being the leader of a team has a big drawback: whenever your team does something stupid, you get blamed because you couldn't control them properly. Poor Ruby Rose gets subjected to this blame game so many times, until one day, she finally snaps. Rated M for extreme language and mentions of sexual activies.

All in all, he should have been more surprised. But he had see such strange things: He was probably dead and in some kind of afterlife, hard to do stranger and his teacher was weirder. But Dust, Grimm and Aura still were somewhere in the top ten.

Shirou, aspiring Hero and Magus in training, dreams of following in his father's footsteps. But no matter how hard he practiced his Magecraft, he just wasn't improving. When a strange old man gives him the chance to change all that, he takes it. The price? Give up everything he's ever known and loved and face an evil that has crushed thousands of upstart heroes just like him.

Archer had accepted his fate as a Counter Guardian after the war was over. When he returned to that field of swords, he expected to answer the call of Alaya. What he did not expect was for the Holy Grail in the form of a certain homunculus to send him into a brand new world. And to make matters worse, he was stuck in the form he absolutely hated the most, his young self. (Post UBW)
