Victory can prove bitter, especially when you're the only one alive to see it. With the world in chaos and everyone he ever loved dead, Jaune Arc makes a deal with the devil for one last chance to go back and change it all. But devils don't play by the same rules as humans, and Salem never did say how far back he'd go. Or how much deeper the war between her and Ozpin really went.

He didn't know the first thing about running a school, nor fixing a political disaster spanning all of Remnant. Hell, he didn't even know how to deal with the world-ending conspiracy in the background, let alone a former-headmaster-possessed child. Yet here he was, leading Beacon Academy into a new age of glory. Or ruin. Definitely a fair chance of the latter…

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?

Jaune had always dreamed of being a Hero, of being someone. But dreams were just that; for in the world of Remnant the Class you are born with determines your fate. Jaune was born a Blacksmith, and thus that was his destiny. But when a strange opportunity allows him to change that, can a simple Blacksmith become something more within the Beacon Academy for Heroes?

With the Reaper war over and galactic civilization reestablished, the man himself John Shepard tells his story. Will span all 3 games, cover Mindoir, military training, Elysium and eventually, Liara. Action, adventure, drama, romance and much more contained within. Please review. Update: Things are heating up on Virmire.

Jaune Arc hated dying. This is an odd state of being for one to state they hated, as dying happens only but once. Twice maybe if you're lucky. Then again, you aren't the universe's chew toy either... Jaune x Harem. Rated M for swearing, gore, sexual themes and terrible jokes.

Every family has its odd member, the one that doesn't fit. Jaune was just that, the black sheep. He had always wanted to be the hero, to be a Huntsman. But when your name is Jaune Salem Arc - Prince of the Grimm - and your mother is understandably against the idea, what is a young man to do? Why, run away to attend Beacon in pursuit of a dream, of course. What could go wrong?

Whoever said life isn't a game was entirely wrong. Everything is a game; it's just a matter of understanding the rules. While Jaune Arc might not have been the strongest player, he could certainly learn the rules quickly. Good thing too; with a mysterious foe on the horizon and Remnant in danger, Jaune might be Remnant's last hope of survival...

In an attempt to raise Jaune's low self-esteem, Pyrrha and Ruby employ an unorthodox method: hypnotism. Shockingly, the hypnosis works, and Jaune is now the very picture of confidence. Although, he is acting a little stranger than usual, but it shouldn't be anything too serious, right?

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.

Jaune was a hunter, hunting animals from a young age. Not Grimm, and never people. Not like the so-called 'real' Hunters he wanted nothing to do with. But when an absent sister asks him to help rescue a missing student, Jaune Arc and Lie Ren will both have to put aside their differences and learn what it means to be true Huntsmen if they're to survive the Grimmlands.

Tragedy at the Vytal Tournament leads to discovery as Jaune Arc discovers his Semblance and its ability to go back in time to undo his mistakes. Unfortunately, it only activates upon death. And... Jaune doesn't exactly have the best of memories. Will this knight be able to save his kingdom, and discover the truth behind the name of Arc?

The World-Eater emerges from the Currents of Time, and so the Wheel turns to the Last Dragonborn. But is it fate or chance, that a hero of old heeds a calling to the land of the Nords upon the same day? The Nerevarine thought he was finished with Prophecies. Yet it is a fool's errand to presume the will of the Elder Scrolls.

Jaune had no interest in Ozpin's latest training initiative, especially when it pit boys against girls across Beacon. Cowardice or not, he intended to hide and wait the whole thing out. Leading the male alliance wasn't part of the plan, nor was becoming mankind's final hope. He was a coward, an idiot and a weakling. It was just a shame no one would believe him when he said so!

When a vessel carrying Protheans in suspended animation lands just across the Tiber in Rome, it leads to a radically different future. Rome never falls, and has foreknowledge of the Reapers. This is the story of the Sons of Prometheus.-Rewrite of Roma Invicta

He didn't know the first thing about teaching, Hell, he didn't even know the first thing about fighting! A shame then, that his forged documents painted the picture of an accomplished and skilled warrior. Now he's trapped teaching students his own age how to be hunters, when he doesn't even know himself!

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

Jaune Arc didn't think much—he was more impulsive than anything. So when he was kicked out of Beacon he had no idea what would happen to him. He never expected to become friends with the criminals he was sent to spy on... neither did he expect that the helpful little voice in his head was actually a she-devil trying to destroy humanity...

All Jaune Arc ever wanted to do was to enter Beacon and become a hero, but Arcs don't give up just because people see through their fake transcripts! After months of hard work, he finally manages to enter Beacon... as the Supreme Commander and Glorious Leader of a twice-reformed organization now threatening to engulf Remnant in an all-out world war. Uhh, Oops? Move over, Cinder.

Jaune has a hobby most people would find strange or frown upon. Unfortunately the poor boy can't help himself, he was born to do what he does. They do say that the pen is mightier than the sword. Watch antics unfold as Jaune tries to keep his guilty pleasure away from his friends. Especially Blake.

Ten billion people over here die, so twenty billion over there can live. After the war, there are pieces to pick up, and lives to rebuild. And even with the Reapers gone, nothing is easy.

Five years after Beacon, Jaune's still going home alone as often as not. An unlikely encounter with Yang may have just the solution- drinks, company, and a hell of a lot of pickup lines. (Now Complete)

A new race was discovered and annihilated. A century passed and Citadel space forgot, but Humanity never did.

Humanity never developed FTL. The Prothean archives contained no technology, no Element Zero, just a warning. Isolated from the rest of the galaxy for two thousand years, restricted to their only system, how will humanity have changed when they first meet the Turians? AU, alternate history of humanity and First Contact.

Ever wonder what the fall of Beacon's favorite fraudulent student-teacher would look like? Professor Jaune Arc knew it would be Yang's fault somehow... though he'd forget why soon enough. A gift-fic to Coeur Al'Alran and his story 'Professor Arc.'

ME2- After surviving the Omega Four Relay mission, the Normandy returns to find the galaxy in political turmoil. Cerberus has been exposed, humanity has lost its council seat, and the geth offer a peace that no one seems to desire. To complicate matters, the Reapers are coming. Most characters present. AU as it invalidates Mass Effect 3. Alternate ending begins chapter 71.

Jaune survives a childhood tragedy and life in the wilderness with the most unlikely allies. The summoned manifestations of slain Grimm defend him through his travels until he meets a band of refugees and a criminal willing to help smuggle them into the safety of Vale - and Jaune into Beacon Academy where he finally finds purpose for the sword at his hip.

Yang have a bad hair day. Jaune says he can fix it. Yang discovers he might be way too good at it.

Sequel to And the Meek Shall Inherit the Galaxy. On hiatus while author recovers from medical emergency.

I don't even know why I did this. If you choose to read this, may God, Buddha, Mohammed, Zeus, Satan, and the Almighty Helix have mercy on your poor unfortunate soul.

A story revolving around Pyrrha's affections for her goofball of a leader, Jaune's total obliviousness and all the hijinks in between. And of course, the rest of the RWBY cast will be there to put in their own useless opinions.

Ever since the tragedy of the Siege of Beacon, Yang has fallen apart, isolating herself from her former life. When Blake appears with information related to the attack, though, her world begins to move again. Old friends resurface, and a dark plot that threatens the very existence of Remnant is uncovered as Yang tries to stitch herself back together, piece by piece

Jaune left Beacon for a SAHD life. It's not a step down by any means: Jaune may have failed to graduate as a Hunter, but he totally passes as a Stay At Home Dad. Behold the highest tier of manhood where badasses fear to tread: managing the home front. A series of shorts about Jaune and the lady of RWBY/JNPR that is the mother of his children. (Not a harem. Parallel fics on a theme)

Shepard knows that the first human Spectre can't afford any distractions, but he can't seem to get his quarian squadmate out of his thoughts. He doesn't know why, but there's just something about her.

We all know that Legion is deadly in combat. Rumors are he also is a gamer. Let's take a look at his interactions on the extranet...

Cerberus' goal was simple in concept: resurrect Shepard to be precisely the same. They failed. Pushing forward, the result was a powerful, untested cybernetic soldier who doubts his own humanity. Now, he will need to lean on his new crew of unknowns, old friends, a past love, and a new one even more fragile than he. [Many thanks to my fellow authors 'JacksAreWild' and 'Bebus']

The Prothean Ruins weren't. They contained little more than mentionings of an Alien Society; as a result, humanity develops on a completely different path than what was intended, and when first contact is made not with the Turians, but a desperate, destitute race viewed as beggars and thieves, how will this dying race change Humanity? And how will Humanity change the Galaxy? *A/U!*

"Sigh" I am sworn to carry your burdens...

In ages past, the gods of death ruled, enslaving and harvesting the mortal races as they saw fit. But in the Age of Apocalypse, The Shepard arose and cast down the gods of death, freeing the peoples. Now is the Age of Iron. The peoples once again strive against the servants of the dark gods, and cry out for the return of The Shepard. And their cries are heard.

Earth is burning, and Commander Shepard is the galaxy's only hope for repelling the Reaper invasion. Perfect time to catch a movie.

The true savior of Mass Effect 3 isn't Commander Shepard. His name is Marauder Shields, remember him as the true protector of Mass Effect.

Shepard is a being from a parallel universe who came to the Mass Effect Galaxy to bring Cerberus to justice after the crimes they committed against his galaxy, only to find a greater threat to not just ME's Galaxy but his own. ME1-3. AU.

Upon deciding that hanging herself out as the cyborg carrot on a stick for the Asari Sex Vampire was not a good idea, Commander Jane Shepard decides to use her varied team of specialists to set an actual trap. In theory.
