This one is inspired by dragonness of the moon 'Neo's Their Number one Fan!' is a fun read.
Ruby Rose developed into her role as leader. In the first month at Beacon, she tried to shed her awkwardness as she began to emulate the best qualities of her team. She modeled poise from Blake, Yang's initiative, and Weiss's caution.
All of her efforts failed when the quietest member of her team spoke, "Ruby there are fanfiction stories about you."
The small girl fell off her chair in their dorm. In shock, she laid on the floor
Weiss raised a brow, "Is Ruby even famous enough to have fanfiction about her?"
Yang indignant, "Hey! My sister stopped an armed robbery and she has been winning marksman metals for years! She's been in the news." She peers over Blake's shoulder. "What's Rosewick?"
Blake, "It is a romance between Roman Torchwick and Ruby Rose."
Ruby is still on the floor, "But he's like 30. Who writes pedophilia?"
Blake fidgeting, "Well he is 17 in reality."
Yang turned the laptop, "Plural. BLAKE your search history, you've read like 20!"
Blake self consciously, tugged at the ribbon in her hair, "They are really well written."
Weiss flipped through her scroll, "It's all written by one author. Ice Crean and yes it is with an 'N'"
Ruby covering her face, "This is horrible."
Yang's eyes skimmed the laptop screen, "Wait! What is he doing to MY LITTLE SISTER." She slammed the laptop closed. Her eyes flickered a dangerous red.
Blake, "The author illustrated what a safe sex talk should be between people. It's really quite sweet."
Weiss muttering, "Don't care about the condoms….oh my I never thought about doing that...that way."
Ruby sees the flush in her palest friend, "Are you getting turned on by me!"
Weiss waved dismissively, "No, what a fictional version of you is doing to a man. Your legs could not bend this way."
Ruby shrieked, "Stop reading porn about me!" she pulled up her hood.
Blake, "Well there is this one where Torchwick breaks your mind and makes you a psychotic killer, but you love each other."
Yang, "I want to read that."
Ruby, "Yang!"
Yang, "You snapping isn't that unbelievable."
Ruby shouted, "Fair!" before she stomped out of the room.

Weeks later Ruby would not admit it, she read every single one. Her legs did, in fact, bend that way. Not that she would tell Weiss that. There were some really scary ones where Torchwick locked her up in solitary confinement and twisted her sense of morality to the point she murdered her family. There were also some really moving ones where she got him to open up and share a gentler side. She mostly enjoyed fanfiction-Torchwick's wit, he was funny and cool. She wished she could be that smooth...but like she learned to embody the best of her team, it wouldn't hurt to adopt some slick-talking traits.
Well back from her mental digression and to Ruby's current crisis. She and her team found Torchwick and his partner in crime in a small white fang den. During the ensuing battle, Ruby found herself scytheless and staring down the business end of his cane.
"Well, If you're gonna shoot me then shoot me, I don't have all night." Oh, she did say the thing all cool like! It took a great deal of effort to give a smug face and not bounce on her toes, but she did it!
An amused smirk slid across his mouth at the same time the girl with two-tone hair faltered, opening herself to Yang's kick sending her into Torchwick's back.
With his sudden imbalance, Ruby retched his cane free, and leveled her aim at him. Neo and Roman back to each other, he brushed the sleeve of his coat nonchalantly.
"Red, I thought you were losing."
She shot his hat off, "Life's too short to not know how to take certain advantages." Oh is this how people normally feel? Cause this was awesome!
Blake snickered as she and Weiss kept the White Fang grunts at bay.
His smile lit up his eye, "with a mouth like that I might want to take you out for a coffee."
Did his short assistant wiggle excitedly?
Yang snarled and lunged, re-entering the violent dance with Neo.
Roman kicked out his leg and Red snapped his cane on his shin. He went down and grabbed her by the hair, taking her with him. The grappling that ensued wasn't pretty, for two highly skilled combatants the hair pulling, shin-kicking that commenced was highly disappointing.
Weiss whispered, "That's so hot."
Blake gave her friend a sideways glance, "I think you need to talk to someone."
Sirens could be heard when Neo hooked the curved end of her weapon onto Red's, tossing her into the blonde sister. Roman grabbed his teammate's arm and then only a shattering image. Nowhere to be seen.
"Frickle Frackle!" Then Ruby picks up her scythe and aims at the injured white fang members, waiting for the police.

Roman tosses Neo a bag of frozen peas, "what the hell was that? We both know you can dance circles around these first years."
Holding the bag on her shoulder, she typed with her free hand, -I think Red read one of my fanfics...about her -
He raised both his hands, "You know I love that you have nonviolent hobbies." His hands dropped and he gave her a pointed look, "As long as it doesn't interfere with our work."
She nodded.
Tossing his coat aside, he frowned, "I'm going to have to read this one."
She flushed and looked away.
"Look I know we agreed I wouldn't read them. But if it's messing with you now, I have to know. We are a team and we cover for each other."
She nodded and sent him a link, she scurried off into her room not wanting to witness his reactions.
She found him the next day still on the couch wrapped up in a blanket with dark circles under his eyes.
-have you not slept?-
There was a wild look in his eye, "Do you- why have you- what the living fuck Neo?" he slowly started rocking himself.
-you read more than the one I sent you.-
"I can't look away. You have so many different versions of me. I'm a sarcastic asshole, but I don't have pets." His cat jumped into his lap. "I mean human pets."
"I also wrote you as a sweet guy."
"And you wrote me brutality raping Red, making love to her, and there was one where she raped me. When you mentioned writing about me, I just assumed I was a side character or I inspired a character with some sassy comments. I am the lead. In. All. Of. Them." His breath was short and becoming increasingly rapid
-you're fun to write and it's not you per se. I'm still the same person as yesterday.-
Pulling the blanket tight about him, "Is what's happening right now fanfiction?" his eyes shifted from side to side.
Neo narrowed her eyes and pushed him towards his bedroom, -Let's hope some sleep will restore you to sanity.- Once she made sure he was lying down with his scroll far away. Neo looked at the website she posted she didn't expect to see another pairing of Ruby and Roman...one she did not write.

Jaune Arc could not stop thinking about it, Yang complained loudly about this crazy writer pairing her sweet baby sister with a vicious criminal. Jaune nodded sympathetically. And the second the brawler left he looked it up.
It was beautiful
Not the rape stuff but the story of how a villain and a huntress start seeing each other as people and begin influencing each other's world views. The way they moved together and genuinely finding joy in each other's presence. Jaune felt inspired and knew full well if anyone could love someone into wellness it would be a Ruby Rose.

Ruby screamed, "Now a new author is writing Rosewick!"
Yang, "why are you even reading this!"
Weiss furiously searching through her scroll, "How are you not!"
Ruby flushed, "it's just kind of nice, not everything, but the talking and the snuggling. It's sweet. Also, it's a train wreck and I can't look away."
Weiss tossing her scroll aside, "Not interesting, it is just one of those where Ruby matures and Torchwick starts using his illegal activities for good."
Blake, "it makes me uncomfortable that you are only interested in reading smut about our team leader" she gestured at all of Ruby, "there is literally nothing sexy about her."
Ruby piped up, "Hey! I can be desirable!" she puffed out her cheeks
Yang pinched her cheeks, "of course you can sweetie."
"You are not helping."

He would be the first to admit creeping around at beacon was a half-baked plan. He found her in the training room in the middle of the night. Her eyes narrowed and she swung. He ducked and twisted around her incredibly sharp gardening tool. He was pulling his punches, he had to and yet she seemed to not notice or care.
Strangely, that hurt.
Neo hooked the girl's arm, sending her weapon sliding across the floor. He threw Red over his shoulder and Neo formed an illusion and the three were gone.
They were in the Emerald forest. Roman let her go and tossed his weapon to her feet.
"Neo go."
His best friend gave him a startled look but nodded.
Ruby stared at the cane on the grass and didn't move for it, "your semblance is teleportation. Neo isn't doing the images and teleportation together."
He nodded, "the police will find that useful information."
Ruby rubbed her arms, "why am I here."
"I wanted to talk, you can go if you like. You're not far from school. With your semblance, you can avoid Grimm long enough. If you don't want to listen to me we can just continue as we have."
She met his gaze, her eyes watered, "I'll listen."
"I think I like you."
"You think?"
"I don't know if I have a vision of you that's... accurate." He slowly walked up to her and was pleased that she didn't back away, but he didn't like how she shook. He felt her hand pressed against his chest preventing him from getting closer.
"H-how old are you?"
"I'm 17 Red." Then she smiled at him and his mouth went dry. He knew she could feel his rapid heartbeat. He fumbled, "I'd like to get to know you."
She pulled away and wrung her hands. He knew she was going to reject him and of course, it would be a mess if they even became friends. He took a step back, determined to snatch his cane and disappear. Her fingers dug into his expensive white coat, stilling his movement.
She pulled herself close, lifting herself on her toes, her lips brushed against his smooth cheek. He heard a high-pitched whine. She tilted her head and he covered his mouth.
He made that pathetic noise.
"Oh" her hands flew to her cheeks, "I uh kissed you at the wrong place."
He shoved his hands in his pockets, "let's start out with a late-night froyo place." He smiled as she gasped excitedly hooking her arm through his.
Neo swooned.
