Summary: Thirty Days in Remnant, Thirty moments in the lives of Weiss and Jaune. Post-Volume 2, set in their 2nd or 3rd year. AUs are possible.
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. This is Dedicated to Monty Oum, creator of RWBY, who died Feb 1st 2015.
Notes: In case you couldn't tell -and I'm sure you could- these "Days" are written "out of order", though some of them are obviously connected and/or can be placed in a "timeline".
Definitely more Jaune/Weiss "Romance" focused than the last chapter's slightly more "Friendships" feel. Also more AU than the last. Next Chapter is the last of this set, though I might -might- do more. Maybe even a full hundred like my two NGE Sentences series.
Part 2 of 3 for "Thirty Days"

011. Morals
During her time in Beacon, Weiss came to realize just how wrong her company's treatment of Faunus was, and quietly promised to herself, Blake, and each Faunus she befriended to one day take her company by its throat and make right the errors her ancestors had made.
012. Engage
Weiss always felt her mind was clearest when she was engaged in fencing, the sharp and fluid motions memorized years ago before she found herself at Beacon, and once she had begun practicing with Blake, Pyrrha, and Jaune she found it comforting as well.
013. Voice
She knew her speaking voice was sharp and high, she'd seen others wince often enough when she'd lose her temper and screech -as Yang put it- at the offending party, so she found subtle comfort in following Blake's example and listened while others spoke.
014. Awkward
When Jaune found Weiss and Pyrrha in the infirmary for 'training related injuries', the two shared a look and smile at the awkward expression on his face as he stood in the door glancing between the two, obviously unsure -in his typical Jaune way- about who to approach first.
015. Lower
Inspite of her initial misgivings about Vale wedding ceremonies, after attending Yang's wedding to Sun she found the symbol of surrendering one's pride to kneel at the alter beside their already kneeling betrothed -to willingly lower yourself to be equal to another- was something that held great meaning, especially in her case where pride was something that she struggled with constantly.
016. Plead
In 1st year, he stuttered; in 2nd year he'd been pleading; in 3rd he was over-the-top but endearing; in 4th he'd been formal and smiling, and at the end of the night, after the last slow dance, he'd dropped to one knee and started the cycle over.
017. Caring
Weiss, Blake, and Ren would all agree that Yang had become a sort of mother for the two teams over the years in Beacon; always the first -followed by Ruby and Pyrrha- to ask if the others were alright, asking before Weiss on how had they done in classes she didn't share with them, encouraging them alongside Pyrrha when they were down, and being someone they could go to when they needed an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on.
018. Believe
Jaune had made a habit of messaging Weiss each evening while away on missions with JNPR and she had done the same when gone with RWBY, so when he failed to message her two nights in a row she began to panic, which for her meant an increasingly short temper as her subconscious wove ever more horrifying reasons for why he didn't contact her.
019. Found
Weiss found she didn't care what others thought of her as she clung to Jaune at the airship pad, holding tight and ignoring the smell of sweat and blood, only knowing she was so very grateful he -and his team- had made it back alive while Ruby zipped around checking on them and Yang herded them to the infirmary with Blake and Nora helping Ren limp along.
020. Shield
As a wedding gift Ruby had made a set of armor for Jaune, and on the front chestplate was Weiss' "snowflake" super-imposed over Jaune's twin "crescents"; Weiss had mentioned to him how she liked the look of it, so on their first anniversary he surprised her with a jacket -just like her normal one- with the same symbol on the back replacing her old emblem.

A/N: For Prompt 15 I honestly hope the mention of Yang/Sun isn't unbelievable, but I feel they match pretty well with them both being somewhat "devil-may-care" in their general attitudes when it comes to "fun". I also imagine Yang would definitely be the one who "wears the pants" -so to speak- in the relationship. Hope you, dear reader, like "my" version of a Vale wedding.
Prompts 18 and 19 occur before and after Prompt 9, respectively.
Prompt 20 mentions/describes a combination symbol between Jaune's and Weiss' emblems. For this image, look at the cover for my story "Clouds and Farms".
RoosterTeeth asked that fans honor Monty Oum by being creative, and I intend to follow that. Monty was, through RWBY, an inspiration to me and my writing -as seen in my new RWBY fanfiction that stands alongside my NGE fanfiction- and I will miss him. I hope all of you will put your creativity to use, in whatever way you find.
