So yeah been working for 15 hours straight during which this idea popped into my head.

Chapter 27: Neo Arcwick 1


Concept: A twist on Adopting Arc

Appearance: None as of yet


Outside the walls of Vale a small girl laid in an old ragged hut from a long destroyed village. She struggled to breath as her fever peaked, was this it, was this how she died. Alone and scared in this place, her brother wasn't here, he was in Vale trying to hustle or more likely steal her some medicine. But he'd been gone for days, maybe he'd been killed by Grimm trying to sneak past the walls into the city. Or maybe some bad people got him, they'd had enough close calls in the streets for it to be believable.

Either way it didn't matter, she couldn't hold on any longer, everything hurt, shew as so hungry. Maybe those stories hose coots at the church trying to grope Roman were right. Maybe if she just let go she'd be with her family, her's and Roman's parents. Except Bartleby! Roman's dad should be in the bad place for bringing those 'thing' to the farm.

She hoped it was true, she wanted there to be something on the other side, anything besides the pain her and Roman had been served after losing their home. Being treated like pest by people. Kicked to the side by those that could help, and she refused to go to a huntsman for help, the one who watched over their farm ran when the first hint of the skeleton monsters showed up. They had no one but each other, roman had looted, pickpocketed and scammed to get them what they needed. She wanted to help and her semblance made it easy to.

But aura couldn't fight the cold, hunger or exhaustion from the trip from Anima to Sanus, they were so close to. Slowly weary weak eyes begun to close however as the world begun to dim and she readied to give in a figure stepped into the ragged hut from the doorless opening. For a minute she'd thought it was a Grimm, drawn for her lost hope. But as it closed in she realized it wasn't, it eye were blue instead of red, white armor all over it.

She would've asked who they were if she hadn't succumbed to her fever then.

A man stepped through the gates of his village glad to be back in Ansel, Behind him was a horse drawn cart straight from the capital itself. The driving nodded at him happy to have reached their little slice of paradise without any delay and why wouldn't they he was no common guard of hunter. He was Julius Arc Patriarch to his house and chief of the village. Of course he'd get them here on time the shipment was important otherwise he wouldn't have bothered with it.

After exchanging several words and greeting his subordinate in the city council he made his way back home a large sack on his back, Crocea Mors to his side and another form in his arms. He looked down to the sight, a girl fast asleep, such a frail thing, she looked like she'd snap if he so much a shifted wrong. HE found her at deaths door while escorting the merchant back to the village.

It didn't exactly take a genius to realize what her circumstances were, she was a orphan with nobody, a sad but not uncommon occurrence in Remnant. HE couldn't afford to head back to Vale wasting time, the village needed their supplies yesterday but he refused to leave a child to the grimm. If his Arc pride wouldn't allow it surely Aria wouldn't he could already hear her shouting as the beautiful woman would be taking a knife to him. Many things he was brave enough to face, his wife though would never be one of them. So left with no other option he done the obvious thing and taken her with them.

They had plenty of medicine, even now she was a far cry healthier looking them when he'd found her. Her cheeks while still sunken had some color to her and her tiny chest lifted up without problems, her boney body was concerning but Aria would handle that he was sure. By next week he'd imagine the little thing would looked like a stuffed piglet. Chuckling at the thought his home came into view and to his joy he saw his darling daughter rush up to him the five youngest barreling into his waist while his oldest, Jean looked on content holding her youngest sister in her arms.

Finally he saw Aria, the light of his life holding little Fuchsia in her arms while his sole son clung to her skirt shyly peeking out from behind it. He smiled seeing the little boy look to him before smiling and rushing forward himself pushing aside Saphron to get in his own hug. It was then he noticed his son looked very much like a daughter dressed in an orange dress he recalled buying for Saphron, pig tail tied in his hair. He sighed supposing his little heir couldn't really do much against five sisters as stubborn as himself.

In several years he was sure little Rosa and Fuchsia would have him wrapped around their fingers to. Finally though the little boy paused before looking up to the form in his arm with a tilt of the head he spoke.

"Dad whose that?" He chuckled to himself before showing the little girl to them, almost immediately Aria rushed to him taking the girl in her arms a look of concern clear on her as she begun to check the girl over.

"good Oum, the poor thing so thin! Saphron, your bunking with Jean today! Jasmine grab some the poor thing is shivering!" Turning to Julius she gave the Patriarch a quick pec on the cheek before shooting him a look.

"You'll be explaining this later, I only have one question for now until this little precious is right as rain. Does she have family?" Julius sighed shaking his head.

"Well she does now, Well talk later." Turning she rushed to the house already thinking of the meal for the little girl. Julius sighed, knowing that was coming, he felt a tug on his pantleg then and looked down to see Jaune.

"What is it son?" The boy pouted.

"What?"

"You said Rosa was the last." Julius chuckled.

"this is a… Peculiar situation." The little boy crossed his arms.

"Don't use big word to confuse me like Saph." Julius sighed.

"Your right, sorry Jaune, but are you really that against having another little sister." Jaune shook his head.

"No, but…"

"But?"

"Why couldn't we have gotten a boy! I'm sick of everyone dressing me up alone!" Julius chuckled, before laughing suppose ing his boy did have a point, after all with their newest member that brought the fairer gender of the Arc house to a whooping nine.

"It seems our chances have dwindled even further." Jaune scowled.

"It's your fault!" He supposed that was true.

"And you're not even here half the time! Why did you do this to me?!" Again, he conceded his son's point.

"I'll buy you that comic you wanted, deal?" the boy smiled brightly.

"Deal, Arc word." He smirked nodding.

"Arc word." Back in spirits his four-year-old son begun to skip to the house.

"Jaune?"

"Hm?"

"Are you mad to have another sibling." He paused then turning to meet his fathers gaze with a scowl that looked eerily similar to his mother's.

"You can never have enough family! Just watch, I'm gonna be the bestiest big brother rimes 3."

"Times 3?" He nodded.

"Duh, Fuschia, Rosa and…" he struggled to remember, Julius chuckled knowing he hadn't gotten the lil things name. Making his way to the house he asked.

"Do you give your word?" Jaune looked to him.

"Yep! Cross my heart and hope to die!" Julius chuckled reaching down and ruining his son's hair.

"Good, that I have nothing to fear."


So this is probably the last adopting Arc Series for the time being, from here on out I'll aim to add a chapter to them instead of making new families adopting Jaune. Also, this fic works under the assumption the Roman and Neo being from Burnwick farm theory is true, look it up if you don't know it.

Gh0stSpartan = I'll post it when I can, been working a lot. its already past 12K.

Wolfang21 = Glad to see you enjoyed it, yeah fuck scrubs.

HalloweenJackal0w0 = Yeah, honmestly just posted them so people would know which ships to expect. Will probably post the first chapter to each around the same time since I have a habit of writing multiple pieces at once. currently working all four of those, Frosted knight ch 2, DMC parody, bumbling Knight and Belladonna Arc all at once here.

TheFrenziedWolf = I intead to, someone got me to watch a show called Tsugumomo and I liked it. And it certainly gave me ideas.

MeteorElDrago = Super glad to see you liked it.

mickeysofine = I'm not trying to deny that, but what Cliches exactly? And what do you mean by fanon, once again not trying to be an ass or anything just need context is all so I can hopefully improve.

Siegnir = I'm working on all four as we speak so both will probably come out a day apart at most or something.

The Menace Within = I'll probably start the next Xiao-Long chapter after I get Belladonna to the same number.

MrSlendy69 = Really glad to hear you liked chapter 3 hope to hear your thoughts on the Finale.
