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 was an anomaly not meant to be in this world, yet fate would deem otherwise. After all, the fate of the world just may hang in the balance.

Inspired by Coeur Al'Aran's Professor Arc story, this asks the simple question: What if Jaune had actually attended the Vacuo Academy for Gifted Youths as he claimed? Between a fake resume, a sociopath for a partner, criminal contacts, White Fang agents, and overall bad luck... it's going to take everything he's got keep his cover at Beacon.

He was a hopeless man, a man who would amount to a little more than a fool. Yet this man pursued an endless dream, a dream in which he could hold her again... (A Shirou medieval Britain Fic-beginning before Saber drew Caliburn)

Aboard Invisible Hand, on that fateful day above Coruscant, Grievous makes a choice that causes a few little changes for the Separatists and Republic alike. [rewrite of a much older story]

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?"

One's fate is not decided by chance, but by choice. A hero will rise from the desolate sands of Hueco Mundo.

Da Vinci's latest experiment results in Chaldea mysteriously landing in a brand new world. One where myths and legends are forgotten. For better or worse, Ritsuka Fujimaru is about to revive those fairy tales while simultaneously getting involved in a secret war between an immortal and a witch. Just another day at the office.

Mcgillis Fareed had never expected to get a second chance in life. But in whatever world it is, it seems that the rule is always the same. Only the strong survives. In a world where women has the power, what can one man with an ambitious mind do? The answer is obvious. Crush them with even greater power, the power of a demon.

Fate is constantly changing. You never know what might happen. What if on the last day of YGGDRASIL, instead of being alone, Momonga was joined by some of his comrades. Now in a new world and surrounded by loyal servants and enemies, the members of Ainz Ooal Gown shall once again show everyone their power.

It was over. The Flame was extinguished, putting an end to the endless cycle of death and rebirth. But as the Firekeeper said, "One day, tiny flames will dance across the darkness. Like embers, linked by lords past." With a final sigh, the Ashen One stood and sank his blade into the ground, forever her watcher as darkness settled. "Ashen One, hearest thou my voice, still?"

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 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?

On the day before he was to die, Issei Hyoudou received a deck of cards, albeit very bizarre ones. The next day, just before Issei is about to be to killed by Raynare, an unknown power awakens within. Reviving lost souls? Cute monster girls? Angels and demons? Not quite what he pictured his life when dealing with insanely hot women. Non-SG Issei/Heaven's Feel Issei

There are many paths in life, some that are set in stone and some that are in a state of flux...then there are the ones that defy the course of fate. This is one such path, where the course of destiny is defied and the path of a Knight is forged in blood, steel, and magic. This is the Rise of the Remnant Knight.

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.

Gamemaster Ruby only wanted to get her players out of their rut and playing something different. What she got was Jaune playing the spooniest of all bards, Pyrrha unleashing her inner psychopath, Ren playing the cleric of a drunken luck god and... what's Nora playing again? High School AU.

Where a girl finds true friends when she looks within. And where friends see what lies beneath the surface.

His genius and hubris nearly got his faithful assistant Pyrrha killed. Now Jaune Arc will have to clean up his act in order to save her and together with her save the world. Iron Man Fusion but not in the way you might think.

Taylor Hebert dies in the locker. Then she wakes up in her grave, changed. Powerful. With faint memories of a life not her own. And why does she dream of a castle in the mountains?

"Why? Why would you do something with that much uncertainty?" The World asked. "Simple." "Because someone out there is calling for my help." For those without help, he would always provide them. There was no need for reason nor reward. That was his lifestyle. He knew it wouldn't be changing anytime soon. Karna's journey in Halkegenia under a certain pink-haired girl was starting.

Jaune has picked up a bit of street magic in his spare time and is eager to make his name in the world, both as a huntsman and as a performing artist. But for some reason, strange things are happening around him. Why are hunters scared of him when he shows them a simple card trick? Why does Ozpin keep giving him a strange look? What's a Maiden and who's the old wizard?

"There was someone there that day when my home was destroyed. But he wasn't a Good Samaritan, he was something else and whatever he had, he passed it on to me. Now there is something inside of me, something I can barely control. It's like a fire that can never be doused, a rage that cannot be quelled...and a spirit of undying vengeance."

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!

Haunted by a family legacy, a young Hunter struggles to prove himself. But will his struggle end in his victory...or will his friends and family pay the price of his failure?

"You are banished from death, cast adrift between the worlds of light and dark. A curse binds us together to walk the earth of Remnant for all time. But we can be saved…for you have been chosen to save it from the ambition of a mad woman and only by stopping her can we be free of our curse...Jaune Arc"

This year was going to be different. He was going to make some friends, find one (and only one!) girlfriend, become a hunter and make his parents proud! It would be easy, right? All he had worry about was Grimm, a group of psychopathic criminal masterminds, international politics and most sinister of all...his own Semblance? Avoiding a harem has never been this hard...

(CANCELLED) By chance Jaune stumbles upon something relating to his family's ancient history. As a child he was told his family was from a long lineage of great and honorable warriors. What he discovers though indicates their origins might be a little more. Together with his friends he embarks on a quest to find the Arc family's origin.

All Jaune ever wanted was to be a Hero his family could be proud of. Someone she could be proud of. Yet in a world infested by the Grimm and evil forces who wanted nothing more then to rip humanity apart Heroes were far and few in between. But what was the saying?...Heroes Never Die, right? An Arkos story starting from episode 12 vol 3.

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.

The adventures of team JNPR through their first year at Beacon. Missions, monsters and mayhem are the watch-words. Romance blooms but can Jaune handle the redhaired victor? There's only one way to find out.

After Natsu destroyed Acnologia, the great dragon had a moment to look back on his life, as he regretted what he had lacked in life. Ankhseram hearing his plea, grants the dragon of destruction a second chance, just not in this world. Seventeen years later he has been reborn as Jaune Arc, his memories awakened by Pyrrha, as he strives to become a Savior...instead of a Destroyer.

A creative man with little time somehow ends up bringing tiny creations to life. Monty Oum finds his tiny creations hard to pull himself away from, and they seem to like him a little too much for them to leave him. A simple life becomes humorously complex.

Jaune awakens his Semblance in the forest when Pyrrha awakens his Aura. It just so happens that it is reading minds of whoever he is looking at. What comes from such a thing? Well, obviously, hilarity and fun. (A mostly serious story with comedic relief from the thoughts of others). ((Co-op with Mika again.))

Looking to make some fast cash to pre-order a game they love, Jaune and Ren decide to venture into the world of modeling for men's fashion. Inspired by Tumblr user cslucaris and his awesome artwork.

There must be a limit to how innocent and naive their team leaders can be can be. There must be. But until it's found... (Oneshot)

A sleepless night for Jaune leads to a conversation with Ruby and Yangs father about the nature of heroes and the sacrifices they make.

Jaune Arc has always dreamed of being a Huntsmen. He dreamed of becoming a hero of legend. How will becoming The Gamer change things? Will Beacon be able to handle the new Jaune Arc? Will Jaune Arc be able to keep his abilities a secret? Does he even want to? Watch out Beacon! It's time to Level Up! Game Start! Rated M for Violence/Language in later chapters.

Jaune and Ren needed some extra cash for a hit new game that came out recently. They were walking through Vale for part time jobs that fit their schedule when they found an ad for a modelling thing. It was one day only and the amount of money paid was more than enough for the game so they took a shot. The theme turned out to be "bad boys". (Based on picture by CSLucaris) [One-shot]

CONTAINS VOLUME 3 SPOILERS! SERIOUSLY DON'T EVEN FINISH READING THIS JUST KEEP SCROLLING! Following the death of his partner Jaune carries out an old family tradition: A night long vigil at her grave. And while this is usually an Arc only tradition, sometimes having your friends by your side makes things easier.

Six Gods descended upon the world and brought salvation to humanity. Eight Greed Kings were set free to destroy everything those before them had built. Forty-One Supreme Beings would be called forth to surpass them all. Momonga's heartfelt wish is granted, but all things come at a price. AU.

Jaune goes into Vale to go shopping. Yang goes along out of boredom- and gets a bit more up close and personal with his parents than she intended when she gets involved in the runaway's family reunion.

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.

After a miscast spell turns Kamui into a child, the royal family is left to deal with the hell their now youngest sister seems to raise without even trying.

Jaune invites Pyrrha to come celebrate the end of year holidays with his family. Pyrrha, despite her nerves, couldn't imagine wanting something more. But as they set out on his boat, headed for home, she comes to realise the trip would be a journey in more ways than one. Made for the /r/RWBY January MonCon!
