The bane of all users on DustTube, ads. All this user was to get back to watch their video, and was regretting not installing AdBlocker. The ad starts with a man in a suit sitting on a desk with a map of Remnant behind him on the wall. He was a pale older man with shaggy brown hair and cranberry colored eyes.

Remnant. What a world where Grimm can swoop in and screw up your life! Thus it is hard for relationships to blossom. However, we can solve that!

The man gets up with a look of determination. He walked up and open a door to a balcony.

I run Hearts of Aura, a service where you can seek out a women to marry. Here, we help women from lesser homes and even huntresses find potential husbands. We have women and men of various types of your choosing.

The man points out as the camera turned down to a group of men and women all lounging around the pool.

We got blondes, brunettes, redheads, humans, and faunus! Our screening system and forms will help you find your perfect match. We assure you that this is a service is perfectly legal!

He winks, but it gives off a feel of sketchiness as the camera focuses on him.

Hit us up on our website, , and take a chance of finding your lady love or your husband for marriage or companionship! This is Cognac Cranberry, and I promise you can make real bonds.

The videos with their logo flashing up, a blue flaming heart with a pair of swords behind it. The ad ended and the video the user wanted came on at last.


Oh yes, one of these challenges. This for me is my subversion to the typical Drunken Marriage story. Instead of an accidental marriage, we got one on purpose. Lonely huntresses putting themselves up on the list hoping for a husband and so on.

Challenge Rules:

1) The business being sketchy or bordering illegal is up to you to decide.

2) Any RWBY character (within reason) can be a bride "for sale", as for who buy ones, it's anything goes.

3) Ships are up to you to decide.

4) Crossovers are fair game.

5) Have fun writing it.

6) You can go for angst, comedy, or so on.


(A/N: I want to thank Green and the others on the groups for discussing this idea with me. Drove me to finalize it, and get it together. Either way, if you wish to take it, please PM me.)
