After arriving in Kuo Kuana with Blake, Sun finds that he feels quite a bit more than friendship toward his companion. As he struggles to handle his growing feelings and winning the Belladonna family's approval, figures from Blake's past begin to surface and make life more difficult for both of them. A 'what if' story where Sun remains relevant. Now updating with Volume 7 content!

Alcohol and bad decisions go hand in hand. Courier Six has learned this first hand and knows how bad those decisions can be. What he wasn't expecting was for things to take the turn they did.

When Pyrrha went to fight Cinder that night, she had her loyal partner by her side. Now he was gone, and all that remained were the scars of the past. The Fall of Beacon broke many people, crushed many spirits. It was her duty to carry on and fight. But now she is alone in a confusing world. Would she rise from the ashes of her defeat, or would she just get burned?

When Yang falls, its quiet. Calm. She did what she had to do. When Ruby and Blake fall, it's a jolt, a cold shock of horror that they didn't quite make it. When Weiss falls, it's almost with relief. Living or dead, she'll see them again. When Jaune falls, he thinks of his team, of one more letter knocked off of Team JNPR. When they wake up, they're at Beacon. Fix-it fic after V8.

"The right man in the wrong places can make all the difference in the worlds". Unfortunately for Jaune Arc, he finds himself in the wrong place when he pushes Pyrrha into that rocket locker and takes her place at the top of Beacon's tower during the Fall. Even worse, that isn't the only wrong place that awaits him! RWBY/Skyrim/Fallout/DOOM/FATE X-Over.

An impulsive promise, a single question; sometimes a shift in perspective is all it takes. Rather than dying in Argus, Adam follows Blake to Atlas. In the shadow cast by the shining city in the sky, he finds the very foundations of his conviction shaken while Blake and her team work to avert the greatest catastrophe modern Remnant has ever known.

A disgraced and embittered Adam Taurus has the opportunity to exact vengeance on everyone that has wronged him in the best way possible. Will his revenge be as sweet as he had planned or will he find something sweeter along the way? Frostbite-ish -Temporarily on hiatus-

Blake was forced out of her room by her Partner. Jaune was forced out of his room by his teammate's antics. Blake was aggravated, and Jaune was bored. One trip to a fancy restaurant later, and that was soon to change. Now, what happens when you put two Socially Awkward people together? Well, nothing at first. The cover art was done by Leonid Afremov. Please buy his paintings.

He unlocked his semblance in a moment of need - HER moment of need. It was only fair that SHE should reap the reward, right? So why was it that her TEAM kept getting in her way? It matters not. She wasn't going to let anything keep her from that feeling. That feeling of his hands on her-wait, no, of his semblance filling her with aura! Yes, his semblance!

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.

Slow burn Monochrome. At least it might have been slow if Blake wasn't high as a kite. Rated T mostly for Yang's insinuations. (Cover art by the one, the only, Dashingicecream.)

Before he was the Master Thief of Vale, Roman Torchwick was a man of Mistral, expelled from his family and seeking a new name overseas. It was a circumstance that served him well as he climbed the ranks, until he found himself caught in a business venture he couldn't get out of... just in time for his niece to arrive at Beacon in the hopes of reconnecting with her estranged uncle.

Yang, the Purple Eyed Warrior. Salem, the Headmistress of Beacon Academy. Ozpin, the King of the Grimm. The laws of what was have been reversed by a known command. The rules have changed, and some of those who were good, have now become evil. As it works in the reverse. Team RWBY has become Team YBWR. Their stories ultimately lead to the same end, but through different means.

There is pain in every heart, and some need help to overcome it. After Jaune is sent to live with his aunt and start afresh at a new school, he awakens the power to dive into the hearts of his peers and save them from being consumed by despair. Hardly an easy thing—saving someone's heart. And he'd find it was even harder to save his own.

Jaune had always wanted to go to a school to learn to battle the creatures of Grimm. But as a boy with no huntsmen training, no huntsmen knowledge, and no huntsmen transcripts, he had absolutely no chance of getting into a school like that legally. After scouring the darkest corners of the CCTNet, he finally found a lead. A place called Grimm Academy. Cover art by Seshirukun.

Blake needed one person to rely on at Beacon, just one person she could trust in all things. It was an impossible expectation at first, but then Jaune was talking to himself and let the truth slip out. It was shameful to blackmail him into friendship, but it's not like she had a better idea. Jaune was no Adam, but he could be made into what she wanted. Or is he as weak as he seems?

Qrow is aggravating. Jaune thinks so. Winter thinks so. A strange agreement that leads them down a surprisingly long path. It's not a particularly easy path, but one ultimately worth traveling down. Especially together. Rated Teen for Teen stuff, and the fact I think Qrow swears in his head.

I always wanted a reaction fic that gets into the magical nonsense of Vol 4 but none ever get that far because they go in order starting at Vol 1. Well, this is a fic where I write whatever episodes I want the cast to watch in any order I feel like it!

Without her grandfather, Weiss would've lost her wings at birth. Without her mother, she would've lost them when she was too young to remember. Without her sister, she would've lost them the moment she was old enough to be afraid of them. Instead, she arrives at Beacon counting down the days to her eighteenth birthday, when she will finally be rid of them for good.

He may not show it, but deep down he really does care. (or, Four times Ren showed that he cares for his friends and the one time his friends showed that they care for him, too.)

"I think I'm... done." After enduring Salem's torment, Oscar lays down Ozpin's cane and returns home to heal his wounds - but the emotional scars linger. Three years later, an old friend tracks him down and helps him find closure. A Rosegarden two-shot for Rosegarden Week 2021.

Pyrrha gets a chance to come to terms with her own death and the friends she's leaving behind. Set during season 3 finale

Having achieved his dream of joining Beacon a problem arises. Not all is well with Jaune.

A little angsty, but mostly hopeful character study. Spoilers for V8. I relate to Nora in many ways, and if you've ever been to my IG, you'll know her V8 storyline hit me particularly hard. My friend had me write a study of her for one of our fic exchanges, and once again, posting on a whim with no editing. This was pretty raw for me to write, so please be gentle. T for swearing.

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.

Ever have those days where you feel that the universe is out to kill you? Well that's my whole life in a nutshell for the past few months. I've been transported to another world, been beaten with an inch of my life on multiple occasions, and somehow managed to get involved in the plot of this world even through I wanted nothing to do with it. Screw you universe!

As the title says, it's just my own meh rewrite of the finale of volume eight. I don't claim it to be better. Spoilers ahead of course.

Pyrrha Nikos had been willing to give up almost everything to fulfill her destiny to protect the people of Remnant; almost everything, except the very thing which was taken. Now, driven by loss and regret, she has little room in her heart except for one goal, one destiny: to make Cinder Fall pay for what she has done. Pyrrha lives/Jaune dies post-volume 3 divergence.

Featuring Vol1-2 Weiss and Blake. It was no coincidence that Weiss had a pistol magazine with Dust in Gambol Shroud's caliber, any more than it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to trust Blake to defeat Torchwick. That kind of trust takes time and effort to build, though, and it was a rocky road getting there...

After Beacon falls, Team RWBY is broken and Team RNJR never forms. Alone, Ruby sets off into the Sanus frontier to be the hero she always wanted to be. But, it's out there where she can't seem to stop running into the frustrating assassin that messed everything up in the first place, and (un)fortunately, you can only spend so much time with someone before they start to grow on you.

Emerald had a long list of things that were dumb. It included, but was not limited to, Huntsmen, Beacon, and Jaune for being obsessed with the first two. And here she was, trying to help him achieve his dumb dream. Guess that made her dumb too.

Eventually, Weiss and Winter found people to bring them in from the cold, while Whitley was only ever pushed further into the cold. A one shot.

After their success at defending Haven Academy and getting their hands on the Relic of Knowledge, the gang went back to rest and figure out a way to get to Atlas. Except Jaune. Team RWBY reunited, but Team JNPR will always stay broken. Unless, there was a way to bring her back? Jaune won't stop. No matter the cost. Villain/Jaune. Cover image made by Mashupman2100.

One-shot. After 2 years of writing fanfiction as a hobby, Ruby finds herself stuck and depressed. And really, haven't we all been there?

Pain is something that all of us are familiar with, and yet we find ourselves so hesitant to open up when we are hurting.

Ruby

"That's where our similarities end"

Every Christmas the Rose-Schnee family hosts their friends for the holidays. This year, young Summer Rose-Schnee asks her Uncle Jaune a question. (Originally written for /r/RWBY's writing prompt)

Carrying intelligence critical to the fate of the whole galaxy, a princess, her bodyguard, her sister, and a defector need to make a long, secretive, and dangerous journey with the aid of a small crew of smugglers, and their ship: the Juniper.

Jaune had always wondered why his father had refused to train him in their family's traditional style of swordsmanship. He returns home to confront his father and fully realize his birthright, and in the process, learn what it truly means to be a warrior.

In which teams are shuffled; Ruby feels like a one-eyed king in a land where everyone else has two; Dove babysits three avatars of chaos and destruction; and Jaune just wants his team to stop arguing for ten consecutive minutes.

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

At the end of the journey, Jaune Arc finally does something right.

Whenever Max makes a mistake, that mistake is swiftly corrected. He is put back in his place with an extra bottle of painkillers, right back to killing mooks. But what if he became aware of the resets? In this one-shot compilation, Max explores what happens when that little circle spins and that Checkpoint is Reached.

The few nights before keep playing in Jaune's mind like a nightmare, over and over again and reminding him of people he couldn't save. At least he'd been able to save Weiss. Spoilers for Volume 5 Episode 12

Alcohol is a presence in all aspects of Humanity and Faunuskind. It breaks, helps, and heals. The people who serve it find they're the people who can help. After a rejection at Beacon, Jaune finds his place to belong at a bar, hoping to recover from his past mistakes by helping others in need. Cover: Hanisu93
