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!

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?

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…

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.

In the wake of the fall Team RNJR sets out to bring Cinder Fall to justice while the new Fall Maiden overlooks her master's plan in Haven City. Meanwhile Weiss tries to help a friend, Yang struggles with the loss of her arm, and Blake deals with guilt over the White Fang. Meanwhile someone from Cinder's past returns and Salem's newest pawn rises. Arkos, WhiteRose, SunnyBees, Renora

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?

Before Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang began their journey as Huntresses, there was Team STRQ, the shining hope of Beacon Academy. With the world under siege by creatures of darkness and sinister organizations, they'll have to push themselves to their limits in order to maintain peace. This is the story of four brave youths who fought for what they believed in...and paid the price.

High School/College Real Life AU: What drives an individual to succeed? Is it love, happiness, and joy? Or is it anger, revenge, sadness? A great many emotions drive people, breaking the weak willed while reshaping and pushing the strong willed. Will Jaune be broken or will he push through the muck of life to change into something new... something different? Most RWBY characters

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.

Jaune's parents discover that he faked his transcripts and stole Crocea Mors, so they pull him out of Beacon after his first semester. If Jaune ever wants to reclaim his dreams of becoming a hunter, he's going to have to do it wholly on his own. Everything changes. And yet, somethings don't.

Just when Jaune Arc lost all hope at the Vital invasion and during Pyrrha's death he makes a wish to go back to the past and stop the invasion from happening. He never realize how far in the past he was going to go. Strong Jaune through slow development Archarem confirmed Jaune/Pyrrha/Ruby/Yang.

After the defeat of Cinder Fall during the Battle of Beacon, Jaune and Pyrrha find each other struggling to continue their relationship after the events of that night. With the students of Beacon recovering from the horrors of that night, the two will encounter many obstacles in rekindling their love. But never forget...never fear the shattered moon, fear the moon becoming whole...

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?

In the world of Remnant, Dragon Riders are all that stand between civilians and the creatures of Grimm. During a time when the rights of dragons are still in question, illegal hybrids are being bred for shady purposes, and a rise in egg thefts has been reported, the new students at Beacon Dragonry will have their hands full simply keeping their partners safe.

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?

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?

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.

Real world au with faunus. Ruby is socially awkward and wanted to belong. Blake was just looking for a quiet place to read and was pleasantly surprised. Both set their sights on the blonde young man who helped both of them discover a love of adventure and way too many dice. Jaune x Ruby x Blake (hopefully, if this doesn't suck.) Rated M for eventual sexual situations.

(DISCONTINUED VERSION, BEING REWRITTEN ON COSMIC FICTION!) A.U. After Cinder's failed attack on Beacon, the school reopens it's doors to emotionally wounded and hurt Huntsmen in training. Jaune and Pyrrha wrestle with the troubles of trying to carry on where they left off, and the new feelings that awoke in them at that almost last kiss.

What if Jaune never asked Pyrrha to train him on the roof after Forever Fall? What could have changed with the knight choosing a different way to get stronger? And how would it have affected the events around him and his friends? (No confirmed pairings/ No harems/ Not so OOC but different character growth and perspectives)

In the New Beacon academy , Jaune and his adopted sister Izetta go on with their daily lives and duties and hunter and huntress. But on one faithful day, a horrific tragedy struck that will send their live upside down

Once upon a time, 12 fanfic writers met, wrote a fanfic, and became Legion205! Join RWBY and JNPR. Eight college students, one dormitory flat, and a world of insanity. 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!

"I'm just a normal guy trying to be a normal guy." Jaune muttered. Pyrrha couldn't help but laugh. "Jaune, you haven't been normal since you got into Beacon." And she was right. He was just a kid in the wrong place at the wrong time with the right Sword. All he wanted to do was help people... and what better way? AU, J P centric, Arkos. The Rewrite. (warning)Slow updates.

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.

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.

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!

He wasn't the strongest, smartest or even the fastest, but if there was one thing Jaune Arc was confident in, it was his culinary skills. Jaune hoped that confidence would transfer to fighting Grimm. Armed with his father's support along with Crocea Mors, Jaune sets out to be a Huntsman Remnant could be proud of.

It is the second year at Beacon Academy for Jaune and his friends, and with it comes a whole host of new challenges and enemies to face. Dark clouds brew on the horizon as Teams RWBY, JNPR and their allies face off against fate itself. Can they prevail against odds which seem insurmountable? - A direct sequel to a previous work; 'The Sword and Spear'

A broken knight, burdened by loss, driven by determination, rewrites the destiny of the world.

Jaune wanted to be a Huntsman but his parents refused to let him train. So at 9, he ran away to find a master to teach him. 8 years later he is on his way to Beacon with his training and best friends, Nora and Ren, to help him on his path to be a Huntsman. Will he make it or will his past hold him back? Will he find love? Will it be with just one girl? (Coverart by Khor Evik)

Jaune is starting his senior year of high school and is determined to make it his best year ever. However, something strange happens to him which completely turns his world upside down. Will he be able to cope with it?

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.

Jaune has been distant for the past few months during their second year in Beacon Academy, which left his friends concerned. Some unexpected events occur that will surprise everyone. Team RWBY will somehow get a hold of Jaune's scroll and discover some things they didn't know about him. The awesome cover image is made by Kegi Springfield. [Latest Chapter: 14 - (Story Update)]

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.

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.

Set one year after the battle of beacon, Jaune has left Vale and everyone there to go off on his own despite his teammates wishes.

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.

Breaking a golden rule, he decided to tell them what his semblance was about. Not like they ever believed him anyways, and they were about to die. As he wakes up for the three thousandth time, Jaune Arc is drained of will. Nothing worked, and he always failed. He once again tries to manage it all by himself. Except this time he won't have to. This time, RWBY went back with him.

After experiencing a tragic event in his childhood, Jaune Arc wanted to become strong. He succeeded, perhaps TOO successful, but he did it. After traveling the world for years to use his incredible strength for good, Jaune Arc, 18 years old, will embark on a new journey, started by a fateful meeting with one Cinder Fall... (AU, 1-year-older-Jaune, pseudo-crossover elements)

Being a hero often means putting it all on the line.

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.

Pyrrha Nikos survives the Fall of Beacon. She survives to become the Fall Maiden. To become the Dragon Slayer. To become The One With a Body Count. She survives and becomes the single thing she feared more than death: alone. ON HIATUS.

Pyrrha Nikos busted her weapon in a fight, and fixing the intricate parts requires a weaponsmith with her busy schedule. Hearing about a new place, she decides to go check it out, there she meets a new boy who is the breath of fresh air she was waiting for. Mechanic!Jaune AU Set around season 1

Prince Jean of Armorica (aka "Jaune Arc"), has never cared much for a hunter's life, preferring instead to study history within the Royal archives. One terrorist attack later and he finds himself thrown into Beacon for his own safety, conspiracy abounds as he makes allies and enemies, all while being haunted with strange visions of the past.

Beacon has been covered in feet of snow and classes are canceled. So, team RWBY and team JNPR decide to head out and have some fun! Light-hearted fun! In-Denial Arkos present in this in spades.

AU 4 some between White Rose and Arkos. Takes place in my AU told in 4 years of Beacon.

In his first year at Beacon Academy, Jaune Arc is struggling to deal with the demands of becoming a hunter, being a team leader and dealing with the monumental legacy of being an Arc. As his stresses mount, his demons begin to plague his dreams.

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

The village of Onsui is home to one of the most famous natural hot springs in Remnant. It is a place to relax and heal oneself of whatever ails them. For Jaune and Pyrrha, it may be the place where four years of self-doubt and suppressed feelings will finally be resolved. (Rated high T for Lime. Commission for Darkkseid.)

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.

After the defeat of Cinder Fall. Jaune and Pyrrha reminisce on how they got here and how they met so many years ago as children and how their fateful meeting changed their lives forever. Cover art belongs to ACGearmaker over at Deviant art.

The Grimm are changing, evolving, gathering, and they pay absolutely no mind to humanity's time of peace. Meanwhile, Jaune Arc trains tirelessly, preparing for a career as hunter, unaware that his team would be called upon far sooner than anticipated. Teams JNPR, RWBY, and a newly impassioned team CRDL are sent on a joint mission, outside of the protection of Vale's walls.

She was told she was only a product of Human DNA, a weapon for defeating humanity's enemies. The scientist maybe cruel, but unfortunately his words held truth. She sadly knew, they'll never accept her, not as a human, nor as their daughter. T borderline M.

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.

Once she arrived at the school, she was back to her usual smile and friendly demeanor, not letting anyone know about what was really going on inside of her head. That was something she very much liked keeping under wraps, so no one else knew what was really going on, and that was just the way she liked it. -Victory Rose AU mostly told from Pyrrha's side.

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.

Tired of the media attention and lack of privacy at home, Pyrrha tests out of Sanctum early in order to spend time on her own, roughing it in the Wilds. She underestimates the dangers of her endeavor and ends up collapsing near a village in Vale during a lockdown. Luckily, she is found and cared for by a young man named Jaune Arc. (Arkos Twoshot. Commission for D. KnightOfShadows.)

Graduation has come and gone, and Team JNPR is taking the next step toward having a long, happy life together: finding a house worthy of four Huntsmen. (Poly!JNPR. Commission for miner249er.)

Jaune Arc has always dreamed about being a hero ever since he was a small boy. Thanks to the training he received from his grandfather, he was ready to attend Beacon Academy. Now he's going to have to undergo various trials in order to become a Hunter. All the while discovering the secrets of the mysterious sword that had been given to him by his grandpa.

Ruby finds herself facing her end. As she pushes her semblance to new heights, the world breaks. In one fluid, crystallising moment everything changes. A 23 year old Ruby Rose, one of the deadliest hunters on Remnant, spills out of the void and into the dorm of team RWBY, including a 15 year old version of herself. A hunter in a world of unknowing prey. Cover courtesy of Majisuka!

Nora can't take it anymore. She's watched Pyrrha and Jaune's relationship continue to stagnate even after the Beacon Dance, and she's had enough of it. So, she hatches a desperate, possibly illegal plan to get the two to finally have a serious talk about their feelings for each other. March MonCon, Oneshot, Arkos

Ruby thought the hard part of dating Jaune was long over. They'd gotten their friends' approval. They'd gotten Yang's approval. They'd even gotten Dad and Uncle Qrow's approval, which had been only slightly more trying than confessing to Jaune in the first place. So meeting his family should be smooth sailing… right?

After Ruby Rose lost her mother opportunities were slim until the Long family stepped in. Now in a new college, new country, new home, with new people she has all the opportunities in the world. All she has to do is chose. RWBY College A.U. Romance/slice of life. Contains White Rose among other things (Mostly F/F).

Ever wonder what the fall of Beacon's favorite fraudulent student-teacher would look like? Professor Jaune Arc knew it would be Yang's fault somehow... though he'd forget why soon enough. A gift-fic to Coeur Al'Alran and his story 'Professor Arc.'

Pyrrha would be lying if she said she never dreamed of having a family with Jaune. She just didn't expect to be parenting a dragon-girl with him while at Beacon and with an old legend forcing him to find a bride by month's end to avoid the end of the world!

Jaune Arc's life was as normal as the next guy's. He attended college, he had a job, and he had friends like any other boy his age, but all of that changed when he took in an injured black cat.

Jaune didn't have to become a Hero, or even a Hunter. Not really. He could always have been a farmer or something. Pyrrha though... (Now with the multi-part Part Two: Oum Made a Farmer. Complete.)

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.

Yang Xiao Long wasn't supposed to fall in love with Jaune Arc, especially when Pyrrha Nikos was madly in love with him. Now the three Hunters in training need to find a solution for their own feelings.

After a successful mission, Pyrrha wake up changed. Now she need to adapt to a new life, while her valiant knight and precious friends help her to adapt on her new situation.

Jaune finally discover his Semblance after saving Pyrrha from a Deathstalker. What nobody expected is that his Semblance would do much more than make him a better fighter.

Jaune is nervous about his parents visiting Beacon in his second year. He worries about two things: will he be able to make them proud and will his sisters come too?

Jaune's training is going well, but when Goodwitch gives him a deadline to show what he's capable of, Jaune seeks aid from Pyrrha. However, the spartan is dealing with her own problem, and refuses to even speak with her partner. Meanwhile, Blake's past catches up with her and she must confront a demon from her past. How will the three hunters in training cope with their problems?

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!

Long ago, during man's most dire hour, many of the greatest heroes Remnant will ever know rose from Dust to protect humanity. Now two of these heroes are reborn. Joan of Arc, a revolutionary leader of the light and Achilles, the perfect warrior. With the power of their past lives Pyrrha and Jaune will pit themselves against the growing dark, to safeguard human kind once more.
