Weiss always knew what life had in store for her - she would grow up, marry the man her parents had chosen, and live out the rest of her days in a cold, lonely mansion. A path set in stone, she didn't dare dream of anything else - she didn't dare desire anything else. Until she met Ruby.

There is no such thing as a home abandoned. A home sticks with you. A home shapes you, for better or worse. In the case of Team RWBY and their trials in Atlas, a home proves able to tear them apart. Join these huntress pairs as they conquer their divides, growing closer under fire on the island of Schnee.

"It's not every day that friends are able to come together like this. Time has a way of testing our bonds, but it's nights like these that can help keep them stronger than ever. Nights like these are ones we'll never forget." -Soulbound Semi-AU/Pseudo-Novelization- -Completed-

With the end of their first year at Beacon Academy having come to pass, Team RWBY must contend with the next three months of their summer break.

Weiss knew her purpose, but not her own life. During this summer break from Beacon Academy, she would find that knowledge and a friend who would last a lifetime.

When Myrtenaster is destroyed, Weiss is in need of a replacement. Fortunately for her, this is where having a weapon-obsessed leader comes in handy as Ruby takes on the solemn duty of educating Weiss in the art of forging and what it means for a Huntress to have a proper weapon. -Completed-

"These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon, so it is in your best interest to be paired with someone with whom you can work well.
