Summary: Thirty Days in Remnant, Thirty moments in the lives of Weiss and Jaune. AU Post-Volume 2, set in their 2nd or 3rd year.

Notes: This one ends on a note more like it started, with Weiss and Jaune looking at their Teams.

021. Open
It was no surprise to Weiss that the most open member of their teams was also the one the rest of them were the most open with, Ruby having proven herself a trustworthy and remarkably wise leader inspite of her wild, occassionally oblivious, nature and innocence.

022. Tactile
Once they started dating Jaune found Weiss to be a very tactile woman, always reaching to hold his hand and initiating hugs, although for the first few months it was nearly always in private or around their teams; looking back he wasn't surprised, because while she would verbally complain when Ruby or Yang would hug her, after their first semester she never actually struggled against the physical contact and her word lost their sting.

023. Journey
After graduation, with their teams spreading across Vytal -or in Pyrrha's case back to Mistral- and the rest of Remnant, Jaune spent an evening with Weiss and the two reflected on the journey that took then from Initiation to where they were now, the two of them unconsciously mirroring each other as they played with their wedding rings.

024. Scowl
Weiss default expression for most of her time at Beacon was a scowl, but as her team and JNPR spent more time around her they began to tell apart each scowl and could tell when she was only covering her excitement or happiness, and when she was truly upset.

025. Hero
At the end of each weekend during his time at Beacon Jaune would pause before the Statue in the main courtyard and wonder if he was meant to be there or was simply playing at being a hero, and once they started dating Weiss would follow him and give him -in her own way, gradually softening- encouragement that he was right where he should be.

026. Writer's Choice "Support"
Weiss found she privately envied Pyrrha's ability to be so openly supportive of her teammates and friends, the redheaded Mistralian constantly able to give encouraging words even when obviously frustrated where Weiss herself struggled to even 'bite-her-tongue' when in similar situations.

027. Writer's Choice "Equal"
Jaune and Ruby were almost two of a kind after that first year, both of them constantly stressed with the responsibilities of being Leaders as well as teammates and partners -though Ruby kept her worries better concealed behind her exuberance- while at the same time keeping their teams together and working with each other to share the load with someone else who understood their situation, and Weiss couldn't fault him for occasionally seeking out her partner instead of herself.

028. Writer's Choice "Opposites"
For the longest time Weiss couldn't understand how Ren could handle Nora's constant energy, how she could so completely be his opposite, but she eventually realized the hypocracy in the thought when she considered her own interactions with the every upbeat Ruby Rose.

029. Writer's Choice "Balance"
Jaune was always impressed by the balance between Blake and Yang, how the two of them as a team could cooperate so fluidly when Yang was all about loud, aggresive assaults and Blake was silence and misdirection.

030. Writer's Choice "Future"
Standing before the gathered students and faculty -having been chosen by their teams as the two who would give the graduation speech- Weiss and Jaune shared a smile and looked out over their teams and thought back to how far they'd come in just four years, how their teams -and they themselves- had grown as individuals, partners, and teams; and they knew without a doubt that the future would be just as amazing.

A/N: While I was initially annoyed at FIVE "Writer's Choice" prompts, I realized that I could use that to show how my foci -Weiss and Jaune- looked at each others partners and teammates. I hope I did them justice in such small blocks.

For Prompt 22 "Tactile", I decided to go with the theory that Weiss was not shown much affection growing up, and that once she was comfortable around her friends she welcomed the proximity. Especially from Ruby and later Jaune, with Ruby's constant exuberance and innocense being a counter to her own relatively cold personality.

"Journey" is a nod to "Inch" by Narutochaos22 and posted by God Emperor Penguin, and how I wish it could have been for Weiss and Jaune.

I hope you all enjoyed these, and please be patient in waiting for any more Prompts about RWBY. I'd like to finish "Clouds and Farms" before picking up another Sentence Challenge, but we'll have to see how my muse moves. I'm also working on a RWBY/Skyrim story focusing on Weiss as the "Prisoner/Dragonborn", though I doubt I'll include the Dragonborn storyline.
