Jaune was one of the lucky ones. Spared by the Tartars for his usefulness, his goal was to survive for as long as he can until he could rid himself of their yoke. Neither did he expect to climb their ranks nor did he expect to end up lording over someone like him. [Mongol Empire AU]

Remnant is a place populated by creatures of darkness known as Grimm, but luckily there are warriors known as huntresses there to fight them off. Women, using the protective lifeforce known as aura, have carved a path for humanity throughout history. That's why Jaune is special, he is the only male in recorded history to have an aura. (No harem) (Adopted from CoffeyJoe).

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.

When he was accepted at Beacon, Jaune expected a number of things to happen: He'd get stronger, he'd get a girlfriend and he'd live up to his family's reputation as a hero. Not once did it cross his mind that he'd adopt a baby faunus. At least he's getting more than just a child out of the ordeal...

Jaune always wanted to become a huntsman, a hero. Then the fire happened and he was left alone, orphaned with a little girl barely 4 yrs old. Now he's off to Beacon, intent on becoming a Huntsman, but not to be a hero. He will carve out a stable life for his little sister, one devoid of the pain and suffering they've had to experiance.

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.

A song can say a variety of things. Especially about the affairs of the heart. Whether it be a declaration of love or for the search for closure. Watch as Jaune Arc uses both with many of Remnant's fair maidens. (Series of one-shots. Should go without saying but I DO NOT own any of the songs in this fic.) (Coverart by Khor Evik Vlakhavlakh)

Yang and Jaune both are people who have suffered pain and loss, can two friends help each other to heal the scars of the past? Maybe along the way also find something between them that will lead them to rethinking their relationship as simply friends to something more? (Takes place right after Season 5) Yang/Jaune, Nora/Ren, Blake/Sun with some Ruby/Oscar and other pairings.

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

What if Jaune was born a lion faunus? What if he joined the White Fang? What if he befriended a certain cat faunus named Blake Belladonna? Jaune and Blake have always had each others backs, even when Blake decided to leave the White Fang. Now they must face their most difficult challenge yet. Beacon Academy

Vale is a odd city. Anything and everything can be found within it, crazy and illegal genetic experiments, gang wars, mob bosses, psycho animal people, normal animal people. Anything and everything could be found within in, now see it through the eyes of Vale's most famous thief.

When I was expelled from Beacon, I thought it was the end of my story; turns out it was only the beginning. I became a Courier, basically a badass mailman, and embraced my new life; until my old one came take to haunt me in the form of a job. A delivery for a Yang Xiao Long... I really hope she doesn't see this journal.

During the search for Blake, Team RWBY is joined by Team JNPR. At the battle on the docks, Jaune Arc finds himself face to face with someone he never thought he would see again. How will he navigate his future as a Huntsman with his only brother out there, being hunted down by his friends. Slow, slow Knightshade.

How many people do you know that live with their best friend? How many of those people are of opposite genders? How many of those people refuse to enter a relationship with each other, despite all of their friends already calling them a couple? Well, that's the story of Weiss and Jaune's life. They had always been together, since even the very beginning. It was just meant to be.

A collection of different beginnings to Jaune's tale. Perhaps a change in scenario, a new face, a new partner, or perhaps a new family. Will probably stay as one-shots, but if you want to try writing one of them as a story, just message me.

Forced to admit that Crocea Mors didn't feel right in his hands—no matter how he held it—Jaune Arc struggled to overcome this obstacle through the insane idea that Aura could become more than just the armor that protected him. Barriers broke as he pushed past the limits of what Aura was capable of, creating and forging his very own weapons from the manifestation of his soul.

There was no one left. They had lost the war. Salem had destroyed Vale, Mistral, Atlas, and Vacuo. Years later, Jaune, Ruby, and Weiss are all that remains of the Huntsmen. After losing to Salem in their third and final battle, the team escapes with their lives and decide to bet everything on Weiss's ability to send them back in time. Mystery Jaune pairing. Also, White-rose.

This is a series of min-fics written for Writing Prompt Wednesday over on the RWBY Subreddit, moderated by user Shandromand. Some will be humorous, some will be sad, and some will get dark. All characters and all genres are up for grabs, so feel free to also make a prompt of your own if you enjoy my work!

Winter: You want to be a player and not a piece? Start thinking like one. Being mean isn't enough, you have to use your head. You need to fight smart. Art courtesy of CHE3ZY.

Jaune Arc doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps. He doesn't want to hurt people - rather, he wants to help them, like his mother always taught him. Unfortunately, no matter how far he goes in pursuit of his goals, the past has a way of interfering with the present - whether it's his own past, or the misguided actions of people long dead, things are never simple.

Jaune was a Knight of Vale, the only male Heir of the Arc Clan, and a member of the fourth Crusader force to enter Atlas at the orders of the King, now captured by Atlesian forces, he has made a choice that has taken away his freedom, and placed it into the hands of a cold princess.

Long ago he was separated. He grew up mostly away from people with only two souls to guide him in surviving the wilderness. There he felt at home. When he was found, he was more than a huntsman. When he was given an offer, he took it. Now everyone will soon see what it means to be predator or prey.

Sometimes the family you choose is more important than the family your given, even if you and your sister are former terrorists.

Jaune Arc succumbed to an explosion that was a mixture of feline DNA and Dust—Nora's fault—and it ended up turning him into an extinct Faunus. News traveled fast of the newly created Faunus, the Saber-Tooth Cat. The Faunus community and The White Fang were undoubtedly shaken up, none more than Sienna Khan and Blake Belladonna. One wanted to recruit him. The other wanted to help.

A whole lot of fluff awaits you within, enter if you dare. If you don't like then don't read.

Whether or not it was fate or consequence, a year in this war-torn land called France was more than enough to transform Jaune Arc into more than a bumbling boy with a sword. He thought he was all alone in this cruel world, unaware that in the ashes of the Russian Empire, a friend was struggling to save the people she could never part with. [Late WWI/Interbellum AU]

Jaune was tired, he wanted to get some peace and quiet after all the things he has to deal with at Beacon everyday. Blake was bored, it was getting kind of lonely just reading on her own, so she sought for a companion to at least go with her to the Library.. Eventually the two found the other and things went from there.. A small Knightshade drabble that somehow became a oneshot.

Combat schools spend millions on creating the newest generation of Hunters. They had forgotten the old way, the hard way...the right way.

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?

This is the story of what would have happened if Lucifer fell to Remnant instead of Hell.

{One shot} When one asks. Who are the protectors of humanity? Most would immediately say huntsmen. But there are few who do not share that sentiment. If you ask the same question to those outside the walls, they'll simply chuckle and utter one name. A name that would later become infamous for generations to come... "Grimm Slayer"

A series of romantic one-shots between different characters of RWBY with our lovable blonde dork on different levels of romantic relationships. From confessions, weddings, even in until old age.

Death, War, Fury, and Strife. The four horseman of the apocalypse long since fallen from history and life. When two young men inherit the mantles of the eldest and youngest, what changes could this bring about to Remnant and their fate. War Jaune, Death Ren. Pairings undecided.

Late at night, Jaune Arc goes out to train in the forests of Mistral. However, unbeknownst to him, there's a Dragon hunting her favored prey: Noodles, and she will not be denied.

People would call it he does, Greed, hoarding, other things he didn't care for. Because to Jaune, it was making an Armory, one that his family has been building since his family name started, and well, he wasn't going to stop now. But he was going to make a few changes to how they did things, now, his family name would walk with the people.

Nightmares and night terrors remained a common occurrence that not even the bravest of Huntsmen were immune to, Team JNPR and Team RWBY were no exception. Common practice prescribed sleeping in someone else's bed when frightened awake. All good. All good. The only thing Jaune Arc couldn't fathom was why everyone always crawled into his bed?

She was near, he could feel it. She'd led him on a long, hard chase, but he wasn't called the best for nothing. It was only a matter of time, always, a matter of time. He knew she was no base prey, the men she'd killed during her attempt at the life of local nobility were far from amateurs. Even for him, she was dangerous. Yet nothing he wasn't willing to handle… for a price.

13 year old Blake just wanted to feel safe, find someone she could trust and would understand her. Was this boy the one she needed?

"No matter how it is, I'll bear the burdens I've earned. And I'll take as many crappy curses as many times it takes." To save others, one must learn to save their own soul. A story about a soldier returning home with the help of friends and allies.

Shade's showers were known for many things. Jaune and his neighboring stall mate were about to find out why.

Remnant...a top secret UNSC colony run and operated by the shadowy Office of Naval Intelligence since it's discovery in 2291. Jaune was kidnapped in 2545, when the War against the Covenant was not going so well. Despite Remnant being unknown, with the ONI branch running Remnant recreated the Spartan 2 program. Can he keep the Grimm forces of Remnant at bay and find out who he is?

All of life is connected. These bridges, through which all beings pass, are fragile. When one soul's journey ends, he is given the chance to begin again. Wanting to save his connections from the fires of hate, he walks once more, ready to change it all, for their sake. Shame, since he will have to start farther than anyone ever expected him to.

(Skyrim!AU by @dashingicecream's tumblr) Ruby is captured by the Imperials and sentenced to death. Luckily for the young girl, a dragon attack changes everything. Weiss is studying hard at the college of Winterhold, Blake is a member of Riftin's Thieves guild, and Yang is a Boisterous member of the Companions. Where do your favorite characters fit into this vast and colorful world?

Mornings in Atlas could get pretty chilly. Good thing they had a blanket to share. Prompt made for WhiteKnight Week: Day 3- Healing.

Yuki wants to make his parents proud. Shadow wants to be better than his parents. Daffodil wants to fill her personal hero's shoes. Clementine wants to live a life of adventure. No one said it would be easy though.

this is just another one of those Rwby cast reactions to different Jaune's, read and enjoy.

Weiss Schnee was no stranger to being the center of attention, to have all eyes in the room on her. But, she never thought she could enjoy it this much... especially with "him" watching.

Deciding a name for your child can be difficult (unless you're Raven who named your own daughter their father's name minus the "Tai" part)

A pact made between two races to help each other, while beginning the relationship of an unlikely pair. A story of their rocky start and how they become inseparable!

When the blonde knight wanted to spend his morning with the ninja cat-girl they were interrupted by a few friends

Blake couldn't live like this anymore. She'd thought the Fang was a symbol of hope, of a future for faunus kind... not a militia that would wage an all-out war against Vale. It was time to leave. But where could she go? She had no home, no family. She had nothing... no, that wasn't true. She could only hope she'd find refuge from this with her best friend. Co-op w/ ThePhantomScribe

Jaune Arc had heard, in passing, that there seemed to be a correlation between strength and sanity amongst the Huntsman and Huntresses of Remnant. When he arrived at Beacon to hopefully become a man his dead father could be proud of, this fact had slipped his mind. Should he have remembered it, perhaps he could have saved himself from the strange fate that awaited him there.

Some semblances are oft crafted by the soul of the person, yet some are shaped by the experiences of their owner. In that case it can be either a blessing or a curse and for one Jaune Arc, when captured by the White Fang, he learns his Discompose certainly seems like the latter.

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

Weiss is a Pilot in training of high caliber. Her team was an unstoppable juggernaut with her at the head. Then one day a girl in red comes in and outplays everyone else. How does she do it? RWBY AU taking place in the Titanfall universe. WhiteRose, Arkos, Bumblebee. M for language, violence and maybe smut in the future if y'all really want it. Goal: 40 chapters, 100,000 words. AU

The Rangers: Remnants most terrifying elites. Skilled in everything from tracking, to combat, to diplomacy. Some call them worthless mercenaries. But what if the youngest Ranger in forty years gets a contract to come to Beacon to guard its secrets? Draws inspiration from Lord of the Rings and Fallout. Pairings Undecided.

Weiss was there again. She didn't know why she kept going there all the time, but she supposed this was going to be the last time she'd ever talk to him. She had to say goodbye, after all. She hated goodbyes.

Jaune is a Huntsman, sworn to protect the religious, fearful town of Vale from Grimm and all other creatures of the night. Pyrrha is a werewolf alpha who is expected to one day become the leader of her pack. Nature has made them enemies. Fate has decided that they must work together in order to save both of their homes from destruction. (Cover art by Nicodemus Tibbitts.)

With a roguish smile, a feathered coat and an audacious personality, a mysterious and charming Phantom Thief prowls the moonlit streets of Vale, seeking fame and fortune belonging not to him. Who is this masked man? Where will he strike next? And what is his connection to one Jaune Arc? The night is young, so let's have some fun... (Phantom Nevermore re-write.)

Jaune was stuck in a rut, working a dead-end job and still trying to figure out what he wanted in life. Pyrrha was moving temporarily to Vale to do some promotional work for the Schnee Company, but also to escape the celebrity status she had attained in Mistral. The two have been friends for years, but are only now meeting in person for the first time. Arkos. Online friendship AU.

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?

After the defeat of Salem, Weiss Schnee returned home to Atlas with Jaune Arc, famous Hunter and long time secret boyfriend to the Schnee heiress, turned CEO of the Schnee Dust Company. Now, Jaune has used the guise of being the girls bodyguard to allow his and hers secret relationship to flourish for years. Though, how much longer can they keep up the ruse?

In life we find we can be trapped by many things. Some are physical and others metaphorical and it can seem impossible to escape. But perhaps a romance from the most unlikeliest of pairs can break down all barriers in their way. Cover by Kegi Springfield

After the defeat of Salem, Jaune Arc left on a journey to find himself. Now that a year has passed, he is returning to Vale as promised. The knight's original plans are shattered as the RWBY girls reenter his life. How will the returnin goofball of their friend group deal with living in the same home as four beauties hell bent on making up for lost time? (Stand alone from IWJ)

Jaune wiped the mud from his face as the hissing of bullets speed by his face. A mithra of trenches, blood and gore were spread out as far as his eyes could see. He had joined the war looking for adventure. Instead all he found, was death and destruction. AU Fantasy WW1/BF1 setting. (Pending adoption from someone lol, going to help writer with plot ideas.)

After an unfortunate event during his childhood, Jaune Arc became Jonathan Beauregard. His memories, erased, his potential, unbound. Heir to a slowly mending kingdom, Jaune must discover the truth about his heritage while also surviving Beacon and the development of his abilities. Maybe the voices in his head can give him some answers... They say it's all due to his legacy.

Four souls who have slowly closed themselves in due to their pasts. Their destinies unknown to them. Perhaps one day a Beacon will shine down with the promise of opportunity, but until then they remain completely and utterly ABSeNt.

One operated in the shadows, and the other thrived in the light. One kept her thoughts and emotions closely guarded, and the other wore them on his sleeve. One had more than a few secrets to her name, and the other... was willing to keep them for her. Now why did that only piss her off?

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

AU "Good and Evil is often misconstrued to be absolute, but in our world where Grimm and Monster's threaten the very existence of all sentient life, the boundaries between what's right and wrong can become blurred, but to me, Evil is Evil and I'll not choose between either. I'll move in accordance to my heart and cut down anyone that be monstrous." Strong Jaune/Jaune x Ruby x Harem

Taken in by a group of thieves, Jaune Arc has been forced to become something he never imagined...a thief, a liar, a con artist...a criminal.

When Jaune finally unlocks his semblance, it's right when bad things start to happen! Now he has to try and stop the world from ending while trying to learn how his stupid thing works. And what does it have to do with all these dragons? Skyrim Crossoverish

Jaune Arc arrives at Beacon with the expectation to get training to become the best Hunter he can be. What he gets, is that and much, much more. As Jaune makes new friends (and maybe a girlfriend?), he pushes himself, and others, to be the best they can be. One day, in the far future, something inside of Jaune will finally crack, and light will spill forth to slay the darkness.

When Jaune invites his team to spend Dustmas break with him and his family, he doesn't realize that he's giving them the greatest gifts any of them could have hoped for: love, acceptance, and the first truly joyful holiday season of their lives. (Canon-verse where Volume 3 never happened. Rated a high T for Lime scene. Commission for Darkkseid.)

Reality had torn her world apart before her eyes. Providence had taken away everything he ever loved. Fate had brought them together. Destiny would bind them closer then they'd expected. An unexpected variable, however, would break the boundaries and laws of all of these fatalistic nuisances. Modern AU, Lunar Eclipse.

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 sets his sights on the new transfer student and Yang can't take her eyes off the mysterious class rep! Warning: this fic is fueled by the rules of rom-com anime! High-school 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.

Blake wakes on the eve of their graduation, and ponders the past. Jaune/Blake AU.

"Velvet has a problem. There's a dance quickly approaching, and she has no one to ask. To make matter's worse, her parents expect her to have a date, and decided to come and visit the exact day it's being held! What's a girl to when she meets a scraggly blonde who seems intent on becoming a part of her life in the midst of all this?" Co-Written by Loneliest of All. Now rated M
