As a vampire, Ruby Rose depended on the blood of others to sustain herself. There was only one problem. She hated blood. There very sight of it made her queasy. Some vampire she was! But Ruby needed to eat to survive. So when it came time to feed, and her prey lay sleeping in his bed, she hesitated. Until the young blond boy finally woke up, and wondered just what was going on.

Mercury: So, you want to know how to build an assassin?

A drabble collection of the sort of pokemon world lore you might find in an expanded version of the pokedex.

Astrid and Hiccup's "romantic flight" comes to an abrupt end when the Red Death follows them out of the nest. Following an unexpected and desperate fight, Astrid finds herself stranded on an island, injured, with a crippled and comatose Hooligan heir and his overprotective Night Fury. She's going to get them home—all three of them—or die trying.

Weiss needed a significant other for a meeting between her father and some powerful business people. Sun needed a way to convince Blake to go with him to the school dance. Luckily, Blake has a solution to both problems. Sun pretending to be Weiss' boyfriend wasn't what he or Weiss would have ideally wanted, but how hard could it be? It's not like there were any feelings involved.

Everyone but Jaune Arc failed the initiation. Ozpin was speechless. He knew the boy's transcripts were fake, indulged the act, but never foresaw this outcome. Now the numbers were skewed, and a team wasn't possible. Exploiting his forgery would backfire. No, he reluctantly folded the hand Fate bestowed upon him. The Arc must explore Beacon Academy alone.

"Excuse me," Archer said, scratching his head while trying not to sound too smug. "I'm actually no hero, so I might interfere with your work. I will look for something else to do while you guys save the world! But do you mind sparing me some money?" (A threeway crossover with Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi manga. One-shot.)

She was a harbinger of darkness, a killer, a monster...and she was happily married to a man who had no idea.

When Jaune was rejected by Weiss again, Ruby decided to take him under her wing in order to win over the heart of his crush. After all, who would be better to teach him about Weiss' interests and desires than her own partner? All they needed to do was go out on a date together. For research purposes.

When The Hunts-Man is captured, he thought it would be business as usual. But what he expected to be a typical Roman Torchwick monologue turned out to have life-changing consequences for both him and his villainous foes.

Teasing. Ridicule. Cheek pinches. Ruby Rose was used to all these things and so much more, and it infuriated her. She hated all the kiddie stuff her sister put her through, but this leader had a plan. Jaune Arc! She just knew her first friend could and would help her become more adult-like. Not like he had much choice. Nope! Nope! Nope! Cover art by CSLucaris.

Beacon Academy's annual camping trip had come, and Weiss was not having a good time. How was she expected to live and survive in a dirty, hot, and bug-infested forest without the luxuries of modern civilization? She thought she would fail this assignment for sure... until she found help from the last person she would have expected.

Ruby Rose was the one to open the door to Jaune Arc's musical solo, not Weiss Schnee, and as a quick-thinking, rolls off the tongue kind of leader, he improvised and made his song about her instead. Little did he know the milk-loving, cinnamon roll leader of Team RWBY was a sucker for chivalry and noodles. Not to mention Yang Xiao Long just loved playing matchmaker.

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.

What happens when Weiss Schnee doesn't understand the intricacies of slang, puns, and innuendos? All sorts of awkward and unusual situations. Written as an entry for RWBY Writing Prompt Wednesday #85.

Qrow: Kid you're not fast, not strong, and ain't got no semblance. So we're going to make you mean.

Luckily, lazy came up in Petunia's tirades slightly more often than freak, otherwise, this could have been a very different story. AU. Not your usual Hufflepuff!Harry story.

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!

Homo Superior: 1. Above or beyond the human; preternatural or supernatural. 2. Beyond ordinary or normal human ability, power, or experience. The three mutants the X-men finds at Jusendo will either change everything or help maintain the balance. PREQUEL TO HOMO SUPERIOR HOUSE OF M.

Of all the semblances Jaune could have had, he never expected mind reading to be one of them. Not that he was complaining, as his newfound ability had just made his life a whole lot more easier. But all power has a cost. And some places are better left unexplored...

Prototype/Spider-man(Marvel) Fusion. For most, adolescence is a time of change and growth. For some, the changes are a bit more drastic than expected. Peter struggles with a changing world, an even more changeable body and more questions than he has answers for. He tries to understand where his strange new powers come from and the most important question of all... what happened?

There's another Team Seven. After so many long years and failed teams, Kakashi has finally passed the fourth Team Seven in Konoha's commonly-known history after his own, his sensei's, and the Legendary Sannin themselves. Oh god, what was he even thinking?

Minato loves his team. He really does. It's just that Team Seven's legacy of being unable to hand in normal paperwork on time is strong in the new generation and it's awful. It's just so awful. And at this rate, he's going to become a hermit like his sensei.

Even in the next generation, Team Seven still can't do their paperwork. Jiraiya knew he should have booked it when his sensei tried to warn him about paperwork and ended up cackling with distinctly evil laughter instead.

The part of being a jounin-sensei that no one talks about is having to handle genin paperwork. If Hiruzen had known that having genin would increase his piles of personal hell, then he would have jumped out the window before anyone could assign him any.

After two years of travelling with Jiraiya, Naruto meets up with Sakura on the Island of Danube. A dangerous swamp has grown out of nowhere and mercenaries are flooding the island. With his mission, Jiraiya's antics, and Sakura's good looks, Naruto has more than enough on his plate. But when he hears that Sasuke isn't far away, things quickly become even more complicated.

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

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.

Keep fighting, they say, eventually you will have won. But what is winning? As order in the Element Nations collapses, Team Seven asks just that.

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)

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.

There's no such thing as happy endings. But there are ends to the nightmares.

Weiss and Jaune attempt to cure their loneliness through music.
