Petal, a young Faunus who suffers a terrible fate, is rescued by a stranger and raised as a hunter of Grimm. She eventually finds her way to Mistral, and Haven Academy, where she decides that her life might need to take a new path than the one she's been walking.

She was Icarus, and now her own wings are melting, sending her tumbling down towards the dark sea that she'd always feared.

An old Veteran gives his reason why we won. (Teaser for an upcoming story, please leave a review)

Just some one-shots I'm using as a way to get into writing. Feedback is appreciated, and I hope you enjoy! Stories focus on Weiss (at least for now) because, well, Weiss :)

To many she is a monster, a primeval horror that clung and clawed its way to modernity. Hiding her true nature, Ruby just wants to become a hunter, gain allies and friends, and make a change in the world. However her hidden blood soon begins attracting foes and forces old and new. Can Ruby survive this new and ever more hostile world with fury and steel, or fail like her mother?

After the fall of Beacon, Ruby develops a sudden interest in Grimm based on an old memory. She is willing to do anything to satisfy her curiosity.

This is a story not about heroes, but about ordinary people. People like Blake fighting for those trapped in the slave state of Mistral or like Yang trying to make money in the kingdom-sized tourist trap of Vale. A story of human beings trying to survive and finding each other.

Oscar Pine won. Salem was defeated and Ozpin could pass over. It came at a cost, but life was full of hope and he had a budding family. Until a disease ravaged Remnant, and Oscar had one chance to go back in time to save someone who could have stopped it. Or the one time Oscar Pine fails to assassinate his best friend and accidentally makes everything better...with angst

COMMISSIONED by BraveVesperia01: A girl named Josie is thrust into the world of hunters and huntresses. This she expected. What she didn't expect was to be made a fifth team member. RWBY J. The rest led to a chain of events no one saw coming. Especially not Josie.

The world of Remnant is dominated by monsters in the woods and feudal kings ruling from palaces. Jaune Arc, the son of a lowly blacksmith, has been caught in the middle of this world. He yearns for the chance to become a knight, but his father forbids it. He only has one option left to him. Take his silver sword and carve a path through anybody who stands in his way.

Being a daughter of a self-proclaimed Bad Luck Charm is no easy task, but it is all not so bad. Right? Right? OC x ?

When a failed attempted to join Beacon ends up giving Jaune a new chance at his dream of being a huntsmen, he'll do everything in his power to live up to his family legacy. Even if it mean's joining Atlas.

Well, you know sometimes you don't get what you want. Like, I'm a wolf now. That happened. Sometimes the only thing you can do, is make the best of it.

War never changes, merely the adversaries. Jaune Arc's dream was to be a hero, not a soldier. But now, as the Grimm rise up under a new master, he finds that he has little choice in the matter. Darkness will flood over Remnant as the Second Great War begins, and not everyone will live to see the light at the end of the tunnel... (Dark RWBY fic. Minor and major character deaths)

At the end of his first term at Beacon, Jaune returns to Mistral to meet the family. Qrow and Glynda follow up leads to try and thwart Salem's plans. However, wider events result in an outbreak of Grimm and rising tensions between humans and Faunus in Ansel. Follows on from Learning to Lead, Learning to Follow.

Sometimes, all that is needed to change history is a single moment. When an unexpected arrival ruins Cinder's plans to destroy Beacon, history is changed and Team RWBY finds themselves together instead of divided. However, they also discover that the darkness of Remnant goes beyond the one named Salem.

He was raised in Darkness to be a blade that will cut down Ozpin and his Spark of Hope, but they never counted on him finding his own light in the darkness. Will she be able to free him from his chains or will Salem forever own Garnets soul? (Oc x Blake)

The Jaune Archive chronicles one of the most famous Huntsmen in history. Known for his valiance, charisma, wisdom, and feats, he was able to save the world from many great evils that sought to destroy it. But the truth about him is a little more complicated than that. This tells the story of his beginning. (A revised and updated version of The Jaune Archive To Survive And Prosper)

Raised by Maria Calavera after Summer took her with her when leaving their family behind before her disappearance, Ruby returned to Vale years later. What she did not expect, however, was unearthing ancient secrets and stumbling into an eternal war for survival that went far beyond humanity and faunus against the creatures of Grimm. Faunus!Ruby –– former title "Silver-Eyed Destiny"

Fate is twisted. Two eras; so different and yet so similar; each walked by one who doesn't belong. What is there to do when caught within a centuries old scheme? What is there to do when the path is unclear?

Weiss has just transferred schools in her final year, gaining her freedom from restrictive parents. New school, new friends. Everything will be perfect. Unless her neighbors don't turn down the loud music that they blast through the walls every night. But what will happen when she confronts the girl next door?

Oscar and Oz are captured by the Hound and brought to Salem. In a desperate gamble, Oz draws on his remaining magic to try to protect Oscar - but when mingled with Salem's magic... something unexpected results. Two years previously, Professor Ozpin is working in his office when he receives an unexpected visitor - a badly wounded boy. But this boy has an incredible story.

Winter Schnee marries a Horse Faunus. Weiss goes to stay with them over break. The walls of their apartment are WAY too thin. WARNING: Mature Themes Abound!

Being killed by Shigaraki was a shame, but in the end, those with superior quirks are simply better in life, so he took his death gracefully. Although now, it sounds like he's getting isekaied in some bizarre PvP match? Well, it's better than the eternal void, at least.

Of all the consequences of forging his transcripts, being kidnapped by Salem, Queen of the Grimm was not one Jaune Arc expected. Then again, she probably hadn't expected that the act might lead to her being "cured" of her Grimm affliction, either. Suddenly human and no longer in charge of her own Grimm, Salem will be damned if this idiot doesn't take responsibility.
