Hi everyone and welcome to my 2022 collection of one-shots for the 9 days of Lancaster much thanks to fellow fanfiction writer and Lancaster lover AdAstra27 for organising everything this year. Hope you all enjoy I've had a lot of fun writing these. I would also like to thank AdAstra27 for being my beta for these chapters.

Caine Branwen always did as his adoptive mother asked, or else. Just when he thinks he's free, she manipulates him into stealing an ancient artifact and sends him across the world. The consequences of this will be severe, but at least he has new friends, especially the ever-curious Blake Belladonna, to help him survive.

Team COAL and its allies have arrived to help defend Atlas. But when they find the situation worse than they anticipated, they must do whatever they can to get the population out alive and keep the Relics and the Winter Maiden powers from falling into the wrong hands. Of course, Salem and Ironwood will not make that easy for them. AU with small but important changes.

Freedom Must Be Fought For.

Ruby awakens in a plane of white, divine voices speak to her, offering a new chance to beat Salem.

A short story with Jaune&Weiss. It is not a continuation of "White". \e\ Oh, the word "waiting" at the end is a participle, not a noun. \e\ Sorry, I added two words to clarification in text.

Anger… Fear… Sadness, theses emotions can draw out any Evil of the Creatures of Grimm … But what do you feel if you are that Beast?

When his settlement is lost to the Grimm, Oxon is forced to wander Remnant in search of safety and civilization. Armed with failing gear and little knowledge of life outside his home, he is set on a difficult path to survive, no matter the cost. How will he adapt to an unfamiliar world with an uncertain future?

Semblances are one in a million, a lottery of differing abilities and effects that can define a Huntsman's career. Jaune Arc always wished for one that was special, that marked him as unique, but he could have never predicted just how powerful his would be, how difficult being "unique" truly is - and just how far the people of Remnant would go to control it.

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.

The world of Remnant is one plagued by fire-breathing monsters. Humanity squabbles amongst themselves, the dragons remain as disjointed as ever and a mysterious threat rises in the shadow cast by war. This is the story of a Queen, a Dragon and a Knight.

Adversity is hardly a rarity in a world like Remnant, but that hasn't stopped it's inhabitants yet. Four young women soon join together, crossing fates in order to reach their dreams and ambitions.

Forget everything you knew about the canonical world of RWBY. The characters you know are not here. The characters you know are switched.

Salem has an interesting conversation with her Inner Circle. This is pure crack and I wrote it in like 5 minutes while exhausted, so don't expect much. Minor suggestive themes. Inspired by an evening with the akatsuki.

Four individuals. Four different people of different walks of life resulting in an adventure. Hopefully, a bond that can last. Team CRBN (carbon). Features: OC Main character, main team has two OCs alongside a lovable crime duo, and some family drama on all sides. Features a 'soundtrack' element for the fic. ENJOY!

Ruby Rose, veteran huntress, is returning to Beacon for a short visit. Beacon is abuzz in anticipation for one of the strongest huntresses on Remnant to visit.
