Author has written 1 story for RWBY.

Who are you, and how have you found your way here?

You know what, no, don't answer that question. Or the one after it, for that matter. You're here, nothing I can do about it.

My name is Valres, and I'm something of an amateur writer who thinks he's got some skills. Let's be real here, though. I'm just about as average as average gets, and will likely be lost in the vast sea that is Fan Fiction and this website. Regardless, I'm a RWBY writer, and that'll be what most of my Fics cover. I tend to write from a Jaune-centric PoV, be that First Person, or following him as our main character. I'm convinced I picked a lot of that up from reading Coeur as I'm sure many of you have as well. In reality, reading Coeur is what pushed me to want to do my own writing and publish it here. I'm not trying to be the next Coeur. I know I don't have that much talent. I'm more or less just trying to improve my sloppy writing, and you're all coming along for the ride with me. Here's to hoping that all goes well and that I can entertain you all with the slop I churn out.


Update Schedule: I will do my best to keep up with this, though I might not always be able to. If there's something foreseeable that would cause me to miss an update day, you'll be made aware in the chapter before somewhere in the AN.

Mon: Criminally Good

Tues: None

Weds: None

Thurs: None

Fri: Criminally Good

Sat: None

Sun: None


Upcoming Fics

End Game: War, war never changes. It costs each and every one of us something precious. Ozpin sits back in his chair and uses us like pawns for his war, a war we wanted nothing to do with. We paid the price for his games. It had damn well better be worth it.

End Game is a story following Jaune, Ren, Weiss, & Sun as they navigate their way though Ozpin's war with Salem. They've all got to pay something for victory, now the question remains if it was worth it or not?

Jaune Arc: Helljumper: Jaune Arc had to prove himself. Sure, he didn't look like much, but at this point, he was the best they had. War with the Grimm was costly in Lien, but more in lives. Jaune found himself on a team of Helljumpers, a team of replacements and fresh faces just like him. They were diving head first into a war zone. They could only pray they made it out alive. (Semi working summary, prone to being rewritten.)

Jaune Arc: Helljumper is the brain child that comes from my crippling addiction to the Halo series. Follow Jaune, Cardin, Qrow, Winter, and Sun as they navigate their way through a city under siege by the Grimm.


I'll answer a few random things here because I can.

Favorite Character(s): Roman Torchwick, Junior Xiong, Neo.
I'm a sucker for the criminals, don't judge me. Roman was probably the best character of the show and was sadly thrown away like trash, we miss you Roman. Junior is just cool, I guess. I dunno, he just hit a chord with me and I guess, there we have it. I don't need to explain myself to you... Even though that's exactly what I'm doing. Whatever. Neo is just a badass, cute, and undeniable best girl. I will fight all of you who say otherwise.

Favorite Ship: This is a dangerous thing for me to get involved in and to throw my hat into the ring for, but you know what? I don't care, it's not like I have something to lose. I'd say my favorite is Lancaster (JaunexRuby). They're cute as hell, and I love them both. Just because they're my favorite doesn't mean that's the ship in all of my stories. I like a lot of the ships in RWBY, this one just happens to be my favorite.

Till next time, this is Valres signing off.

Relic of the Future by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
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.

Professor Arc II: Headmaster Arc by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
He didn't know the first thing about running a school, nor fixing a political disaster spanning all of Remnant. Hell, he didn't even know how to deal with the world-ending conspiracy in the background, let alone a former-headmaster-possessed child. Yet here he was, leading Beacon Academy into a new age of glory. Or ruin. Definitely a fair chance of the latter…

Forged Destiny by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
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?

Distortion by LordHellPhoenix reviews
When Jaune Arc's life goes to hell, he's desperate to gain back what he lost. But what's the point? In this world, the weak die and the strong survive. Those are the rules. So, will Jaune die holding onto the light or will he survive as someone else, something darker? (Coverart by Khor Evik Vlakhavlakh)

The dance of tigers by Cyanide Sins reviews
Sienna Khan was a great leader. A great speaker, a dedicated politician, someone who cared for the people. A meeting with a human derails her plans for the future slightly... But at least she'll get some dancing lessons out of it. Jaune Arc would probably die in initiation, right? That's what filthy humans do, after all.

Service with a Smile by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
When Jaune's forged transcripts were rebuffed, his only option was to return home in disgrace or forge a new life in Vale. Opening a diner was an impetuous decision, being good at it a stroke of luck. Becoming the favourite haunt for students, teachers and criminals alike…? That was neither, but it sure did keep things interesting. Wasn't the civilian life supposed to be easier?

Last Resort by lightningstrxu reviews
Yang decides to help Jaune tackle his motion sickness head on and takes him out on an airship joyride. However, when they crash onto an island in the south Mistralian Sea and are left stranded, they'll only have each other to rely on; if they don't kill each other first. Cover by mrk50

Arclight Foundries by Twisted Fate MK 2 reviews
Jaune Arc wanted to be a hero. To help people, protect them. But destiny had other ideas, unfortunately, and he was born with a body broken to the point he couldn't. Instead, he sought a different way to help people. If he could not wield the weapons of Man to protect Man, then he would make them for others to wield in his stead.

Project Remnant by Aworldnotsosimple00 reviews
"The world of Remnant?" Jaune said holding the case in his hand. He looked up at Sun who grinned and gestured for him to keep reading. He rolled his eyes and looked back down at the case. "The world of Remnant is a sandbox-oriented massively multiplayer online role-playing game." He looked back at Sun. "Why do I get he feeling you want me to play this with you?"

Teach the Teacher by KatalystSky reviews
This is a Qrowin/Snowbird Teacher AU. Qrow is an uncouth but surprisingly good high school science teacher and Winter is a strict graduate student pursuing a teaching certificate. The principal believes that pairing them up will be mutually beneficial but they need to stop fighting first.

Trials and Tit-ulations by Constable Paperbag reviews
During a night of passion, Yang accidentally suffocates Jaune with two of her greatest assets, rendering the boy unconscious. Oopsie daisy. Will she be able to wake him up, or will he die living every man's dream? Rated M for Mature, even though it's anything but.

White by Imyoshi reviews
When Jaune Arc was just a small child, his mother gave him a tiny seed to grow and nurture as a way to learn responsibility. His father gave him a useless Dust Shard to study power and focus. Only problem, the little Arc had wrongly misinterpreted their lessons and ended up creating Remnant's one and only Dust-Dust Fruit.

The Scent of Romance by cdghuntermco reviews
Faunus don't mature quite the same way humans do. Many develop more animal like traits throughout their lives, but not entirely without consequence. Blake finds herself in trouble when her sense of smell becomes hyper sensitive, and every aroma in the air is capable of bringing her to her knees. But salvation comes in the last form she ever expected: Jaune Arc.

Pineapple by Imyoshi reviews
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.

The Knight of Lancaster or Something by College Fool reviews
Ruby always loved her fairy tales, especially the romantic ones of noble knights and royal maidens. A pity hers doesn't fit the cliches so neatly, but that's what happens when you prefer guns to gowns and your Prince Charming is mostly that way by accident. Just who is the knight of Lancaster here, anyway? (A young girl's tale of first love, fidelity, and the fate of the Kingdom.)

Not this time, Fate by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
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.

The Entertainer by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
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.

Professor Arc by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
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!

One Good Turn Deserves Another by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
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.

What Happens in Vacuo, Stays in Vacuo by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
Finally the week's holiday before the Vytal Festival, and for Professor Arc, it couldn't have come soon enough. Especially when he manages to snag tickets to one of the most expensive resorts in Vacuo. A full week's rest to himself, with no criminals, no crazy students - and definitely no vicious little multi-coloured slaver. Seven days with just sun, sand, sea and Neo... wai-Neo?

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.

Criminally Good reviews
When Jaune got turned away from Beacon, he thought he was a failure. He'd wanted to be a Huntsman, he wanted to be strong, to protect his loved ones. That dream was crushed before it was ever given a chance to begin. Now, though, things are different. Thanks to Roman Torchwick, he's found one thing he's good at: crime.
