Jaune was tired of losing - tired of giving up whenever he felt he wasn't good enough. It was time to prove to himself, and everyone else, that he belonged at Beacon, and that he has what it took to be a Huntsman. The Vytal Tournament was coming up, but he wasn't just going to compete. He was going to win.

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?

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?

After the Black Rebellion, the world became a different place from what people knew it for. But in spite of that, there was still one who wished to change it for the better. This is the story of his renewed revolution...

A vengeance for millennia, a hatred carried through the ages. A mother once, yet never again. "Of course, mama." Three words that brought the world to a halt, a covenant made between mortal and immortal, a soul damned and perhaps another redeemed. "Hush, my beautiful child. Mama is here." A bright, bold soul given a gift beyond mortal knowledge.

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…

Written for Zaru. Bismarck Waldstein regrets only one thing; that he has no son. When he claims an orphan boy for his own, the course of history takes an unexpected turn.

Canon through V2, character elements through V6 and After The Fall.

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

But never forget...never fear the shattered moon, fear the moon becoming whole...

Their friendship steadily deepens, along with their feelings for one another, as their heroic destinies become forever entwined. [Set during Izuku's final year of middle school.] (IzuMomo) (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.

Why, run away to attend Beacon in pursuit of a dream, of course. What could go wrong?

Rated T to be safe.

What started as an innocent game between Jaune Arc and Yang Xiao Long quickly grew in depravity the longer they played. Both were too boneheaded to quit, so boundaries broke to one-up the other. Soft lips tipped the scales. A touch of skin drove them mad. An audience raised the stakes. However, common sense flew out the window when playing alone. "Oops, my finger slipped."

Whoever said life isn't a game was entirely wrong. Everything is a game; it's just a matter of understanding the rules. While Jaune Arc might not have been the strongest player, he could certainly learn the rules quickly. Good thing too; with a mysterious foe on the horizon and Remnant in danger, Jaune might be Remnant's last hope of survival...

She was a harbinger of darkness, a killer, a monster...and she was happily married to a man who had no idea.

Growing up around girls, Jaune had to put up with a lot of talks about how hot muscles were. He didn't understand the appeal. What was the big deal about muscles, anyway? More importantly, why was he getting flustered over the sight of Pyrrha at the gym? He wasn't staring at her arms. Honest.

Outside of being a loyal companion and trustworthy friend, Yang Xiao Long hardly thought much of Jaune Arc. He was a noodle. She liked him. He was nice. Simple and easy! So, why did he have to throw the whole status quo into whack by getting some ridiculous haircut and not shaving for a week? What? No! He didn't look or acted like a younger version of dad! Stop saying that, Ruby!

For all the help he received, Jaune was still in danger of failing. So Glynda did as a good teacher does and called him in for extra lessons.

"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.

As a simple animal shifter, Qrow is regularly looked down upon by "higher" fae, such as the seasonal sprites. As a result, he takes great pleasure in messing with them at every opportunity. He takes even more pleasure in teasing one particular winter sprite, a sprite with icy eyes and prism wings, a sprite whose outraged, indignant reactions are just too fun to ignore. (Faerie AU.)

(Rewrite of The Odd One, Activated) Who was Jaune Arc? A Beacon Student? A friend? Relationships are questioned when one's true face becomes undecipherable. So, who was he? A Huntsman? Or a Division Agent?

Jaune Arc, fourth year of Beacon Academy, returns with his team to finish their final year, expecting it to be a fun, but uneventful year, he was wrong: Ozpin, like a hurricane of vagueness and infuriating smugness puts them and their peers in charge of providing guidance to the imminently-arriving first years! He can only hope that their charges will be easy to handle.

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 if Jaune had taken just a little more time before making a monumental decision? A "One New Message" spin-off chapter.
