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?

Yang just wanted to be a better friend to Jaune and help cheer him up, but one thing led to another. That one night together was all it took for them to see a different side of each other. Sides seldom seen... but they're still just friends. Yang is definitely not noticing the dork more and Jaune is certainly not falling for another girl. It's just some clean release. Nothing more.

The war has torn Remnant apart. The Hunters have failed and Grimms now lay siege to the city. Everyone we know and love are gone. But there was still a chance to set this right. A chance to change things... for better or for worse. And sadly, the only candidate left was the weakest among them. But perhaps... it was enough. Fan art by Keji Springfield!

This is a Taylor Hebert centric story, starting just after the locker. Details after that are sketchy ...

After a drunken night of mistakes the entire cast of RWBY finds themselves in trouble, but none worse than the blonde knight. Jaune has accidentally got Ruby pregnant. He has survived the Beacon entrance exam, grimm, but nothing could preparing him for this. Jaune will have to survive the wrath of Taiyang, Qrow, and worst of all, Yang…

It didn't take long for Weiss Schnee to be sick of Jaune Arc's constant attempts at courting her, but when the young blond approaches her regarding something other than a date, what does this mean for the Schnee heiress? A tale of an unlikely friendship, and an even less likely romance. White Knight.

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.

War gives birth to weapons. Some of them marvelous and others horrifying. Some say soldiers are the best. Others would disagree. Sadly the students of Beacon are about to learn sometimes the best weapons aren't the ones you can fire or swing. Sometimes they're the ones you can't touch or even expect. Like a friend... or a virus.

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?

Jaune wasn't a very skilled individual, often in the shadow of his talented seven sisters. Yet despite his lack of ability, he was desperate to contribute to his family name in some capacity. It was then that he discovered another role on the battlefield against the Grimm - as a field medic. In his second year at medical school, Jaune is handpicked to follow a team at Beacon.

She didn't want much out of a relationship. Just someone willing to submit to her. Someone willing to love her. Someone...innocent. (Rated M for Smuttiness and general Naughtiness) ((Cover art by Exvnir))

One day, a young student of Signal Academy receives a package from home, containing the journal of a long dead relative. But what is Jaune Arc going to do with said journal, and how will it change not only his world, but that of those around him?

He hadn't gone to combat school; he hadn't even taken an entrance exam. But Jaune Arc figured if he could at least make it past Beacon Academy's initiation, then he might just have what it takes to become a huntsman. And in a sense... he's right. The little training he received from his sister may just be enough.

The following is the complicated affair between the two most adorkable introverts Beacon has to offer. Watch as Jaune struggles to choose between the women who've always been there for him, all while discovering who he truly is, and what he can become. Dark forces are at work to corrupt the Knight along the way, will he stay the path, or will he falter? Co-authored by Fate-117

Jaune Arc was a genius, no doubt about it. After a portal experiment goes wrong, he finds himself in Remnant, with no fighting skills. How will he make himself useful against the Grimm and any other evil that threaten civilization? By sciencing the shit out of everything, of course. Slight AU.

AU. In a world where humanity is on the brink of extinction in the face of the Grimm, the kingdom of Vale has resorted to arranged marriages between its strongest citizens, hoping against hope that a miracle hero will be born. In a romance initiated without free choice, is it even possible to find happiness? Lancaster

Life is a game. In an attempt to save a friend during the Breach, Jaune Arc died. Brought back to life with powers of a Gamer, he must now attempt to beat the game called life. He's not alone though. Every win or lose ends in a Reset, so how will he beat a game that never ends?

Betrayed by his colleagues, Roman Torchwick is approached by Ozpin with the strangest of offers - to become a teacher at Beacon and train RWBY and JNPR to catch the ones pulling the strings. But this abyss protects its own and Roman always enjoyed a good double-crossing, especially when he got the last say.

After waking up inside a cave at an unknown location with no recent memory and a startling new appearance, Jaune must find his way back to Beacon and get back to normal. However life is never that simple and getting home is the least of his worries. In a literal dog eat dog world he'll have to fight to survive while also trying to find a way back to normal. Inspired by Bleach.

Jaune once had the desire of becoming a hero. While that desire still remained, he had a new goal by the time he tried to enter Beacon. But while he may have entered Beacon, it wasn't as a student, much to his own surprise. And now he must contend with the perils of his new job whilst preparing to combat a great threat. But can he do so when darkness is all he now sees and knows?

Jaune Arc was a man made of self-sacrifice. Even after his protecting nature cost Jaune the ability to hear, his dream of being the strong Hunter from the stories wouldn't end. Neo was a woman made of self-serving. Despite being a criminal for hire, her loyalties only consisted of Numero Uno. Jaune would learn to be a little sour and Neo would learn the ways of sweet. On Hiatus.

For years, Jaune has been raised to be the perfect soldier under Ironwood's watch, earning the respect of not only his teacher, but his Father. As the White Fang become increasingly hostile, Jaune is sent to Beacon Academy, where he learns to adjust to his new life not ruled by order. Never having the chance to make a choice, he'll have to decide his own path.

After being expelled from Beacon Academy, Jaune Arc falls into a depressing life of prostitution and regret. All seems lost until a mysterious girl who can't speak enters the picture. But who exactly is this Neopolitan? Is she the angel Jaune has been searching for? Or the demon who will drag him down even further? Rated M for language, drug/alcohol use, and sexual content.

A shield? Okay admittedly I don't know how to use a shield. But a sword? That I know how to use. Jaune P.O.V.

It had started as a simple bet. Train the boy in order to prove her own superiority over her peers. It had all been going so well for Weiss. So how was it that Jaune became so entangled in her personal life, and she in his? And why did he seem to be the only person who understood just what she was running away from? Cover art by Gabecebro.

Rival councilors oppose her every step for reform, her alliance with the White Fang is beginning to fray, and word from the underworld talks of a growing fire seeking to engulf the kingdom. Summer Rose stands ready to face these challenges, but only her daughter is willing to seek out the answer to the question that has long plagued her: "Who is Summer Rose?"

Were it not for a wandering musician's cynical words, Weiss Schnee would have continued on the path to becoming a Huntress. Now, a disinherited Weiss lives as a wandering singer, trying to be a hero in a different manner, with that wandering musician named Jaune Arc as a companion...

Jaune's seven sisters are possessed by the swords passed down the Arc family lineage and it is now up to him to save them.

Alcohol is a presence in all aspects of Humanity and Faunuskind. It breaks, helps, and heals. The people who serve it find they're the people who can help. After a rejection at Beacon, Jaune finds his place to belong at a bar, hoping to recover from his past mistakes by helping others in need. Cover: Hanisu93

Qrow was only in the Wilds to investigate some ridiculous rumor about friendly Grimm. Instead, he found a boy that could command them. AU.

Following a fateful encounter with a certain Ice Queen that left him with the unique ability to manipulate snow and ice to his will, Jaune begins his journey at Beacon, not knowing that the heiress herself had also decided to attend. Thus begins their adventure of hardship, horrible ice puns and maybe even a chance of romance.

When Jaune loses the use of his legs he is faced with the reality that his future dreams of being a Huntsmen may have gone with them. However, Ruby isn't prepared to let him give up as this begins to put a strain on their budding relationship.

Nora is asked to dog-sit Zwei. With Ren busy, Jaune is asked to baby-sit Nora while she dog-sits Zwei. What could possibly go wrong? Certainly not some supernatural, romantic, and completely bonkers adventure that pushes these two-and the dog- to their limits, right? (Third Genre: Adventure)

When Jaune woke up back in his house with his sisters and family, all he could do was sigh. Every time he died he was forced to start over again, and this was what... the one thousandth time? More? If it doesn't matter how hard he tries, doesn't matter how much he fights. Then maybe it's time to just kick back and enjoy himself. Fate can find someone else to be its whipping boy.

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.

When Professor Ozpin sent Qrow Branwen into the out-lands, searching for a mysterious creature which had been decimating Grimm numbers, Vale's darkest Huntsman never expected to find a young man wandering Remnant's loneliest paths. And he certainly didn't expect to find potentially the strongest Huntsman in generations...even if he is a little bit broken. (DISCONTINUED)

A post-shower mishap involving a fallen towel lands Jaune in a heap of trouble, and awakens a part of Ruby that no one expected.

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!

Remember the time when the cast of RWBY had to share a penthouse with each other? Me neither, but here it is. Ships, Crack, Parody, Out-Of-Character, Naughty Words, Fluff, Dark Humor, Action, Drama, and whatever twists and turns I feel like writing. Prepare yourself.

By all rights, Jaune's dream of becoming a Huntsman should have died when he was expelled from Beacon. It won't, though, not if Qrow has anything to say about it. Their redemption lies beyond the walls of the Four Kingdoms, in lands where Grimm roam unchecked and unchallenged. Welcome to the old ways of Hunting. Welcome to the Wilds.

Jaune felt pretty damn good about finally defeating Cinder, which might of been why he forgot she was a sore loser. In a blast of Maiden power, he's suddenly a decade in the past. No, the fact that Cinder and the White Fang are still alive and kicking doesn't worry him, he can handle them. He's worried about how he can watch 17 year old Jaune Arc and not strangle himself...

Jaune Arc, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Ruby Rose form team Auburn.

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

Sometimes, the best heroes are not born from the perfect places in life. Sometimes, they are born from the most questionable places in life. Sometimes, the best heroes are not normal. Sometimes, they are anything but normal. Sometimes, the best heroes are not able to be alone forever. Sometimes, they need a team to remind them that they are not alone. Angels are no different.

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.

In another life, he would've been called Jaune Arc. Today, he is Jay Branwen. So what are the perks? Training from the best of the best? A father that shields you, but is a hardass? The celebrity status? Check. And the bad stuff? Um...same as the perks. Life's bound to be one hell of a ride. One thing's for sure: we hate the word perfect. And Pyrrha Nikos is described as such.

In a Post-apocalyptic Kingdom of Vale Jaune has spent his entire life in a Vault below the surface with his family, safe from all the ruin. However, when events force him above ground into a world not his own, the Grimm are the least of his worries.

Dust was humanity's equalizer against the Grimm, a tool with limitless possibilities – especially when handled with care. Jaune was but a child when he started experimenting, but they say there's lessons to learned, even in failure. Jaune's not sure why his mixtures are considered failed reactions though. [ONE SHOT]

All Jaune ever wanted was to be a hero. And yes, "Protector of the Multiverse" probably fits that category. But if someone had told him that he would need to work together with so many alternate versions of himself? "Farmer" isn't looking so bad anymore... Collaborative writing project founded on the Professor Arc Forum. Feat. Jaunes from Coeur Al'Aran and College Fool.

Ed knew he was different. It wasn't just that he was smarter than the other kids or even that he had automail. No, it had more to do with the way people would occasionally look at him, like they were expecting somebody else. It was the way his mechanic cried the day she met him. It was the way his dad would sometimes slip – and call him Fullmetal.

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.

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.

AU. Two prodigies with opposing objectives plan to navigate Beacon the same way: feign incompetence. Assassin!Ruby. Bodyguard!Jaune. Discontinued.

When I was first assigned to be her bodyguard, I didn't know what to think. However, over time, I slowly began to accept her, and become her friend.

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)

If a starving man was given a buffet of food, what would he do? Would he eat and then merely leave content and fulfilled to continue his day? Or would he stay at the table, waiting for more food that he knows there's an abundance of, finally able to relish in the thing he's been missing for so long? What will Blake Belladonna do when someone cares about her for the first time? AU.

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.

Reality can be painful, and for Jaune Arc, the truth is what hurts the most. He never wanted anyone to know, to keep lying and pretend that everything would be fine. His parents supplemented the coverup, promising that if no one ever knew, he could live a normal life. But when the truth is exposed, Jaune can't bear the consequences... he was a Faunus, and that would never change.

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.)

For the entirety of his three years at Beacon, Jaune has not won a single practice duel against his classmates. When Pyrrha convinces Blake to help her find out why, they discover his rare semblance- and all the danger that comes with it. New cover art by the talented Exvnir!

(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.

It was with great displeasure that I called Jaune Arc my boss. Ever since the last Great War, finding good employment had been hard for Faunus and I was no exception. I ended up taking a look at the more desperate advertisements, only one of which I was foolish enough to accept. It looked innocuous enough, just an assistant to a private investigator who'd do simple tasks.

Jaune Arc was the descendant of heroes who never had an honest chance to be a Hunter. Jaune was just a common criminal who never had a choice in the matter. Falls from grace are never elegant, and Jaune's is no different. A story told in shorts, with an emphasis on 'short.' Now complete.
