Before the great war, Terra was the mightiest of the kingdoms of Remnant. Some say it was just a casualty of the war, but there is so much more to it than most people know. In its ruins, the Ruinous Powers and the remnants of Terra's Legions lurk and plot, craving to be mighty once more. Now some of the Legionnaires have found their way into the Beacon Academy.

When he was pulled into the ocean, he found himself falling. When he landed, he found himself fighting. When everything stopped, he found himself hurting. When he stopped hurting, he found himself questioning everything. Who was that girl that looked like Carolina? And why does she keep calling him "Jaune?"

Remnant is not as alone as it was once thought to be. The galaxy and all of its dangers have begun to close in. Starting with one of the unknown Primarchs crashing on the planet in his gestation capsule. Cinder discovers him and takes him under her wing. Everything RWBY knows is about to change as they are dragged into the never ending wars of the distant future.

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?

One mistake. That's all it took for a once bright, innocent and simple soul to become torn and tortured. Now, the once simple soul is wrong. The young girl in red once filled with such vibrant energy and life is now cold and hollow. Hated and feared by those she loved, she decides not to walk the path of a hero. Instead, she walks her own, and in her wake, leaves naught but madness

Let's all be honest with ourselves here: Sometimes a story just needs a better ending.

Yang knew better than to look for love in a bar. She was neither foolish nor naive. But when a chance encounter leads to a meeting with a mysterious dancer that has her heart racing, it can be hard to resist. For Jaune, the life he wanted was that of a hero, but such a life required training and the money to pay for it. What is a man to do, but make use of the few talents he has.

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!

Desperate times have always called for desperate measures. But do the ends truly justify the means? How much blood are you willing to spill in order to ensure the survival of the human race? The survival of your friends, of your family. For you to simply survive? The answer? As much blood as it takes. (Slow burn RubyxOC)

Jaune tells Ren his side of the story of how a small accident with Ruby nearly led to an untimely death, and did lead to jumping out of perfectly good bullheads, shopping, and getting blown halfway across the harbor after being taken hostage by terrorists. And yet somehow he still doesn't realize the obvious. (One shot.)

AU. One small divergence, the smallest of errors, and the balance of fate tips. It is 2552. Reach is spared, for now. Operation Red Flag goes forth. The Covenant will learn that this war that they have started 27 years ago have only just begun.

(Oneshot anthology of a unique sort.) It can take decades to write a masterpiece, and years to plan it- so see what a couple of amateurs come up within 15 minutes after a prompt. College Fool, Couer Al'Alran, and the Jaune story concepts that followed.

Let me tell you a tale of a story never written- where Jaune Rose tended a beautiful garden he loved and resented, when Ruby Rose had her Fairy Tale Marriage that wasn't quite Happily Ever After, and in which Pyrrha Nikos was the spark that threatened to set it all ablaze by sharing a drink called loneliness.
