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 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…

Inspired by JC-of-the-Corn's Endless Possibilities, similar stories spawned by the idea, and my need for an outlet for weird stories during writer's blocks. Go read the others. They're a fun read if you enjoy this. Point is, RWBY characters are placed in a location to watch and react to multiverse versions of Jaune Arc. First M rating based on possible versions in the future.

Living day to day as a messenger in the slums, Ruby thought her life was set out for her. But when a mysterious meeting with an Arcanist draws her into a conspiracy that threatens all she loves, that changes. Wielding the power of a Wildmage and hunted by enemies and Arcanists alike, Ruby must find answers in the one place her kind cannot venture; the Arcane Collegium.

Two idiots decide it would be a spiffing great idea to break the resident knight's heart. It ends badly and kickstarts an epic war for love at Beacon.

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?

Jaune was only worried about two things in life; graduating from high school and dodging his hated bully. He didn't care about the supernatural, nor believe in it. But a chance encounter with a mysterious girl in red will open his eyes to a world that lives beside our own, a dangerous and deadly secret. But beware, child, for eyes once opened to the truth may never again be closed.

Monsters & demons are an unfortunate danger in this world. They prey on the scared & defenseless. But Abel is neither. A self-proclaimed monster hunter, she seeks to understand the enemy to equip others to save themselves. But she may have to leave the East Blue to achieve this. Where will she find a crew crazy enough to carry her on her fool's errand? Slow burn OCXZoro

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]

A darker take on the actual intelligence of the Endearing Rubber Idiot. Or a conversation between Captain and First Mate. No Ship. possible epilogue to follow if this is enjoyed.

The System awakes, and so does Jaune Arc. Of course, one is awakening from an eons long slumber and the other went to bed too late the night before and slept in far too long. The System adjusts to a methodology suitable for a teenage boy, and as such accidentally invokes the god-given right of living a video game. Jaune's in for a wild ride.

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).

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?

Helping people. Saving people. Smiting 'evil.' That's all he did. To many out in the frontier, he was a unquestionably a hero. But to himself, he was a slave and little more. Hoping to find a true purpose in life, Jaune applies to Beacon and heads there eagerly. There, he will learn what it means to be 'free.' NOTE: summary/rating subject to change.

[Slight Crossover] Jaune Arc wants to be a hero. James Ironwood wants to save the world. Professor Polendina? Well, he just wants a guinea pig. Regardless, it's time for a new breed of hero to RISE UP!

Luffy and Zoro awaken in two different parts of East Blue, both with the same thing on their mind. Protect the crew. There would be no failures this time around, Captain's orders. As bits and pieces of the unknown past that the two comrades share are gradually revealed, the rest of the crew can only speculate. For all their absolute resolve, they're hiding something. Time Travel AU

During a routine mission teams RWBY & JNPR encounter a Grimm unlike any they've ever seen. The encounter comes at the cost of Jaune's life. After a lengthy search all that is found of him are his weapons and right arm. One year later a strange vigilante appears sporting a metal right arm & calling himself Archangel. Who is this this man and what is his apparent interest in Weiss?

So you find yourself in an environment considered hostile even on a world full of monsters. What do you do? Try to survive, of course. And if you manage to do that? Well, then things can change...

Humans, animals, plants. All these beings have Aura, as opposite to Grimm. However, what would happen if a young wolf pup were to unlock a very special Semblance... a Semblance that allowed him to turn into a Faunus? And what would happen if this young pup were to be adopted by one Summer Rose and grown as her own child? Well... this.

For as long as he could remember, Jaune had a special talent: he was able to break anything. Due to his breaking various objects and furniture, he was passed down from family to family, until one day, a professor from Beacon Academy came to visit him.

Jaune has a dark secret he’s been keeping from everybody for months. Now that he’s been discovered will his friends still stay by his side? Being a fallen angel in Remnant has never been easy, and its about to get far more complicated.

Just your everyday RWBY fanfic. Or is it? When 10 year old Jaune Arc is feeling down, he is kidnapped by a older man who resembles him and even has the exact same name. He ends up training under his kidnapper for 6 years before he is able to return home. Now 17 year old Jaune Arc finds himself in another predicament. He now has a time traveling daughter.

Jaune Arc is a Paragon groomed from young to inherit one of the most prestigious positions in Vale: Royal Bodyguard and Princess Consort. Only problem? He wants to be a Hero. Based on Forged Destiny by Coeur Al'Aran. OOC Jaune.

What if a group of US soldiers ended up on Remnant? Chaos. Thats what. This is the new Fireteam of Idiots on Remnant story. I just figured it would be better if I posted all the new chapters in this manner. Co-written with Scapel 2-5

You know, you think getting launched into grimm infested forest would be the craziest thing that would happen to someone. But this blue screen telling me life was a game said otherwise. I don't know what to believe anymore, but I'll tell you one thing. I always did like playing a Paladin.

He was thought to have been lost to the Grimm on that fateful night, a boy lost to the darkness to never be returned, but would anyone even recognize him if he did? "My armor is contempt, My shield is disgust, My sword is hatred, In the emperors' name, let none survive."

Addy thought she has seen it all. Growing up on the Grand Line sort of does that to you. But when she joins Luffy and the Straw Hats on a journey to find the legendary One Piece she ends up with more than she could have ever dreamed of. Adventure, friendship, suffering and loss. Together her and the Straw Hats go through it all in their journey to the end of the Grand Line.

Nami is a girl from East Blue, one of the most crime ridden cities in all of All Blue. She fights to survive day to day, whether it be in school or in the yakuza she belongs to. But as chance may have it, her own boss transfers her to a school that puts her in the desk right behind a boy who will help change her future, whether it be for good or for bad has yet to be determined.

Jaune was considered normal. His swordplay was mediocre, and his test score average was a fifty. So he was deemed unfit for further training, and to his glee, a normal life was on the horizon. But the life of a Huntsman reared its ugly head in the form of an acceptance letter to Beacon Academy. Well, he convinced teachers to give up on him before. He could do it again.

Weiss Schnee really didn't like slavery, but her father deemed it necessary to give her a personal slave. One that would follow her around and carry out her orders. What she didn't expect was for him to be a dragon!

Behind every person there's a story; Roman Torchwick; once heir apparent to a major Atlesian company. Now; a self-described fashionable criminal mastermind; here is his story told through his own eyes. [Wonderful cover art is by Tiburme!]

After Jaune finds himself stranded on an island mostly undiscovered to humanity, he gets roped into some unfortunate adventures of a few of its weirdest inhabitants, and he must earn their trust to help him get home, preferably in one piece. -A harem, monster girl AU- -NOT smut, but a little perverted, and even some fluff!-

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.

Jaune, formerly known as Arc, is banished from the family. However, in his blood legacy, is something powerful. The power to form a contract with the most powerful of Remnant. Dragons. Watch as Jaune Ryu-Long rises from banishment and show the world his power and legacy. Jaunexharem

Jaune owed a lot to his 7 little sisters so it only seems fair he learns how to become a huntsman so he can protect them. But when problems from his past threaten his new life its time to be the man he couldn't before. A man chooses after all, he chooses to protect his friends. Watch out, Big Brother is loose. Rated M for gore, language and graphic scenes. Crossover with Bioshock.

Jaune Escanor Arc. Born with a curse that his family kept hidden from Remnant for generation after generation. The same curse that surpasses that of any powerful being before the existence of Remnant itself, before Salem, before the Four Maidens, before the Two Brothers. Here begins a fairy tale that no one will know. The Lion's Pride knows no bounds!(RWBY belongs to Monty Oum)

Jaune: Hmm. I wonder how much of this is really gonna go in to a story? Oneshot almost certainly, unless it gets a a lot of interest.

It was inspired and based on a random short video that I've found yesterday and thought that it was freaking funny. Full Title: Huggie Wuggies (RWBY Version.

Salem makes Jaune the ultimate deal: in exchange for the lives of his friends, she promises to free him from the curse that has plagued his life. Rated T for Treachery.

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.

Various scenarios involving Jaune that are mostly flat out drama and dark themes with just a pinch of NSFW. Don't like, don't read sorry to say.(Accepting requests) (All stories are available for Adoption, PM if interested)

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]

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.

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?

Zoro returns (by no design of his own) to the island of Ilium, a country that exists outside of World Government jurisdiction, though not for long if nothing is done. Queen Helena desperately needs his help, but may be too prideful to accept it. -a standalone sequel to The Straw Hats and the Iliad. Takes place directly after the timeskip, before Zoro and Perona reach Saobody.

Jaune found a letter in his locker, asking him to come to the cliffs from initiation, but it doesn't say why or who it was by.

They weren't lovers. They certainly weren't friends. At best, they qualified as acquaintances. However, one crazy night changes all of that. Pretending it didn't happen would have been the smart choice. Unfortunately, neither Blake nor Jaune is all that good at making smart choices.

Jaune was on his way towards Vale to enter Beacon when a unique variant of possession-type Grimm tries to possess him. Fortunately, the possession failed, but now he is stuck with an intelligent, talking Grimm in his right arm! Well… he could still be a Huntsman, right?

Jaune Arc is completely alone in Beacon. He is simply unable to talk to strangers, and would rather spend all his days playing piano, rather than answer questions in class and talk to other people. One day however, he meets Team RWBY, and his life takes a turn, for better or for worse. Can Team RWBY break through his shell?

Jaune Arc cheats his way into Beacon, but in a karmic event he becomes The head of Beacon's IT department instead! A collection of emails, logs, green texts and other electronic recordings depicting Jaune's struggles with trying to deal with the tech problems of the students and staff of beacon. Inspired by the Green Text "Anon works IT" and the Tumblr Series "The IT Wizard."

A hungry wolf finally captures her prey.

Yang Xiao Long has been expelled from Beacon, a powerful new weapon is unleashed upon the world, and the flames of conflict fuel one lost soul's thirst for revenge. Leaving her friends and family behind, Yang must find a new path in a Remnant on the brink of war and come face to face with a fate written into her very genes.

Remnant, home to both the races of men and monster. At the end of the war both sides had agreed to attempt to reconcile their pasts and start anew. This thinking gave way to Beacon Academy, a school where both man and monster could thrive. But, you know the old saying about plans and contact with the enemy. We find our faithful knight returning to his new life, for better or worse.

Jaune Arc, Field Agent of the VSS - Vale's Secret Service, or at least that's what he's been told. All he knows is that they found out about his faked transcripts, and now he works in the interests of the Kingdom. With terrorists on the horizon, not to mention a shady organisation and an even shadier group operating under Ozpin, what's a bumbling teen turned secret agent to do?

Orphaned as a child, Ember has spent her life searching for answers. But then Roronoa Zoro shows up, and she finds herself swept away with the Straw Hat Pirates. Aching to discover more of her past, she dives into the unknown where the answers aren't exactly what she bargained for.

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.

Just because no-one mentions it out loud does not change the fact that that is what he is. Some people take longer than others to realise it though.

In the South China Sea, the USS Enterprise and her strike group are running a freedom of navigation patrol. When rough seas and a storm interfere with their communications, they come across a city under siege. Just as the battle for Beacon reaches it's climax, new players are thrown into the mix. It's not just a new struggle, no. It's a New World.

Soldiers from another world find themselves stranded in Remnant. Outnumbered by an overwhelming enemy, a young soldier and his fellow soldiers of the Royal Canadian Regiment engage in a desperate battle for survival while searching for a way home. (Rated T for violence and language, rating may change).

Vale, 1989. The headlines seem to show a new murder every night, more Atlesian mobsters killed and more chaos runs amok in the city. All the while, witnesses report strange characters moving in and out of sight. For one Jaune Arc, this life is more than normal, in fact it's almost routine at this point. For Jaune Arc, this is his job, his occupation: murder (based on Hotline Miami)

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.)

[One-Shot] Cardin fails at being good. Russel doesn't care. Dove is the only one with sense, and Sky? Sky is the worst.

What happened to Luffy on that island? He came back seriously injured... but something is different. Can Zoro and Robin help him through this terrifying change? What will the crew think if they find out about it? It's only a matter of time before their secret is no longer a secret...

Hold onto your butts, it's one wild ride, and it's not your typical college AU. It's even better! Written by some of your favorite idiots!

Jaune was a hunter, hunting animals from a young age. Not Grimm, and never people. Not like the so-called 'real' Hunters he wanted nothing to do with. But when an absent sister asks him to help rescue a missing student, Jaune Arc and Lie Ren will both have to put aside their differences and learn what it means to be true Huntsmen if they're to survive the Grimmlands.

This wasn't supposed to happen, they shouldn't have done that. They were crew mates. This was wrong. But it felt so right.

He never went to a public school to know how the clique system works. Due to the student exchange program, he learns that not everything in this world is as great as they seem. She has always been the bully victim in her school. She never thought some exchange student program will change her life forever. Contains bullying and quite violent plot.

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

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 through history. That's why Jaune is special, he is the only male in history to have an aura. (Not harem) (Adopted by Serendipitous House Pet)

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?

The Straw Hats are stuck in a still tide for a week. Things go from bad to worse as strange things start happening on the ship. Little do they know they have just stumbled into the Dead Sea, the most deadly waters in the world and it wants them. Can the Straw Hats survive the week or will they fall victim to its depths? The only rule is don't be scared.

Original name the Odd one out. Jaune was your average kind of guy. nothing really special about him, Except the fact he has aura, when he lives in a world where only women can have their aura unlock. well now he gets to attend a Huntress academy, as the sole male student... This is going to be fun to watch. I started this after reading the story the only one from MeteoriteCreature.

She's a gentle sea. He's a raging tempest. When these two start their journey together, the sea becomes drawn to the tempest and the tempest awakens the hidden potential of the sea.

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!

What do you do when you haven't the slightest clue who you are or where you came from? Why become a pirate of course. Piggy may not have intended to join Luffy's crew but when fate intervenes she'll have to go along for the ride and maybe gain some friends and have an adventure or two along the way, whether she wants to or not. OCxLuffy(pairing might change)

Zoro wakes up from another tormenting nightmare. And after escaping a hectic storm, he heads up to the crow's nest. when he wakes he finds Luffy in there with him. wearing a very rare face of seriousness...What could the Captain want with his First Mate? Don't Own One Piece Take the chapter anyway you want. AU

Rebuilding a legend can be as hard as creating one. But there will definitely be adventures along the way, and that's good enough for Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hats. The ghost should help keep things interesting, too. Sequel to On the Misty Shore.

Minori Sakura always expected to live as a street rat of Loguetown, but that all changes with the arrival of a certain straw hat pirate, and she soon finds herself on a journey of a lifetime. Hotheaded and awkward, she's sure to make plenty of mistakes (and enemies), but that won't stop her from finding the romance of adventure...and maybe something more.(slowburn Zoro x OC)

Cheshire was not human. She knew this, but as time went on, she continued to wish she was. Seeing the world go by with her continued to exist. She joins a boy in her own way to help him become the next king of the pirates. She learns more about the world as time goes on with him and his crew, however her dream, is to find Eternal Peace or to become Human. Which ever comes first.

Commander Arc of the 666th secret elite Regiment of the Death Korps of Krieg storms the Ork-infestated world of Nyle to save the occupying Imperial Guard from Exterminatus with the penetrating force of the Lance of the Emperor. Forging legend with every step, kill and declaration; what becomes of the Commander after he is torn from all that he knows and is thrown into Remnant?

Zoro hears some noise in the forest and goes to investigate. What he found was not what he expected (sorry bad summary..)

How much pain and loneliness do someone need to go to, to find happiness? When do we know we find the person to make us happy? Will they accept me for being a mute? Do they need to know about my past? Why bother answering these questions? It'll just hurt too much to know the truth.

(Discontinued) Jaune Arc. Sixth child of eight Arc children, born into a loving family and forged into a respectful and admirable young man. Diagnosed as a high functioning sociopath at age 14. With his family's support, Jaune will attempt to achieve his dreams of becoming a huntsman despite his antisocial behaviour and find a path for himself among the great.

Roman Neo vs Ironwood & Winter

COMPLETE. Jaune takes a page out of Qrow's book, "Dealing With Your Problems." When that leads to an unexpected confrontation, Jaune is suddenly struck with an idea: give Destiny the middle finger. Fighting against himself and his friends, Jaune prepares to make a great sacrifice and tosses his hat into a very dangerous ring. Luck, or someone else, at least, is on his side.

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.

Jaune Arc was a soldier in the Great War, tasked with many missions by his General in secret. When his last one ends with his death, he wakes up eighty years after the war's end. But he's not the only war relic walking around, now. (Inspired by Sleepy Hollow) (Slightly Off-Cannon)

The end of the Great War in Europe came to a close, and with it came peace. Except for the 40 odd thousand British Tommies, who found themselves waking up on a strange foreign land where the moon was shattered, and monsters lurk around every corner. Watch them affect the history of Remnant. Rating might be subject to change later on.

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.

A fic set in some of the bloodiest battles of WWII. This is not so much a RWBY fanfic as it is a work of historical fiction that happens to have RWBY characters. The battles were real and the units that fought in them actually existed. This is as much a tribute to the show as it is to the men and women who were actually there. Arkos and a couple other ships if you squint.

The end of the Great War in Europe came to a close, and with it came peace. Except for the 40 odd thousand British Tommies, who found themselves waking up on a strange foreign land where the moon was shattered, and monsters lurk around every corner. Watch them affect the history of Remnant.

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!

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.

Three dead fan favorites humorously try to escape from the afterlife to get the happy ending they deserve.
