It is said that the universe has a strange way of doing things; how the faintest breeze can bring about the angriest wave. Then for Roman, a simple act of kindness from a chance encounter might bear fruit to a life of happiness or rear its true, ugly head—be it sooner or later. (Definitive Edition!)

When Jaune accepted a job to transport a noblewoman with hair the color of snow, he certainly didn't expect for him and his companions to be roped into a conflict that could potentially lead to a war between the Kingdoms of Atlas and Vale. [Fantasy AU tag]

Instead of joining Beacon Academy, Jaune decides to join a distinct private military organization instead, The Shadow Company. They are bound by no rules and take no glory, or fame. They don't fight for praise and have little need for awards. They don't care about what others think. Huntsmen and huntresses may not like them, but they are not your enemies. They are heroes.

The Story of how a White Rose came to be

Salem won. Defeated and captured, Ozma was driven into insanity, never to rise against her again. For a thousand years Remnant has lived under the rule of the Eternal Queen, shaped to her whims. Jaune Arc is but a young man suffering from nightmares that aren't his own; driven to fulfil a destiny that isn't his, before the fractured mind of a broken man consumes him entirely.

Ruby just couldn't catch a break. Everyone hated her for being so young but still put on a pedestal by the headmaster. Even the other half of her team seemed to resent her. Life at what Ruby hoped to be a dream school was more like her personal hell. However with all this it finally happened. Ruby was cut off and left to die. She didn't expect to wake up again

Jaune always wanted to emulate the heroes of old, and especially his grandfather, uncle and eldest sister who had encouraged him to take his dream to Beacon. What he did not realize was how big of a change he would make the moment he laid his hands on some armaments. Canon AU based on story challenge by dracohalo117, Jaune slightly OC. Rated T for a reason.

AU style. The Grimm are not creatures of darkness, they are animals mutated into monsters by a virus created during the great war, but it isn't just animals this virus can infect. Even humans and faunus are susceptible to it. The four academies train the next generation of huntsman while researchers around the world strive to find a cure hopefully before the world ends.

A series of vignettes set in Vol 1 of RWBY. Some are retellings of scenes seen in canon, some are expansions of scenes in canon, and some are entirely new.

Ruby Rose finds herself tested in more ways than one during sparring practice at Signal Academy.

Jaune Arc, strong, intelligent, popular... or at least he will have to learn to be all those things in order to survive this new job. After all when your entire future (and life) is on the line how can you respond. The story takes place between the first fight against Torchwick and the dance.

The songbird cries its evening song, and so light strikes against the dark. The youth hears their destined calling, and so fresh wounds spill bright ichor. The red jewel frees their hidden light, and so Remnant will have its dawn.

I think it is the universe's main goal to torment me. It knew I was terrified of scorpions, so not only did it have me die to one, but my reincarnation, the rebirth gifted to me, was in the body of Tyrian Callows. A SCORPION FAUNUS in the service of the big bad of the RWBY series. This is going to be no fun for anyone.

What happens when a Jaune Arc SI who wants to avoid the ridiculous conventions of his genre finds they're more difficult to shake than he thought?

A totally normal game of truth or dare that does not involve the forced impregnation of Ruby's teammates courtesy of Jaune. Commissioned by Deepest and edited by Lord Dial.

Team RWBY returns for their second year at Beacon Academy. However, the role of the Hunter is beginning to change, as is the state of the world around them. How far will they bend to the will of Ozpin, and to the Hunter's Duty? How much will they change to keep themselves from breaking? Volume 0 of the Darkening Horizons series. Also available on AO3.

[Continuation of Yang Branwen Part I: Four Seasons of Childhood] Yang is now on her own, trying to rebuild hersef after the death of her tribe, but the trauma is not easy to overcome, even for someone like her. For his part, Qrow is overwhelmed by doubt and guilt. But none of them are completely alone, right?

Oscar Pine always dreamed of being more than just a farmhand. In one life, the opportunity never came until an old burden was passed onto him. In this life, Oscar Pine will seek the life he's always wanted before that weight ever sits on his shoulders. But this change in his fate will effect more than just him alone.

Jaune Arc, a new recruit into the White Fang, is sent on a crucial mission: to spy on Beacon Academy. It will take all his skill, cunning, and knowledge in order to accomplish this important- what do you mean he's partners with the White Fang's most recent traitor!

During a business trip something goes wrong in the military aircraft. Now the Schnee is stuck in the wilderness alone- but with a twist He isn't the hunted...he's the hunter. The only question is, will he be able to keep his humanity? (rated M for mild reference to gore and mentions of blood)

When the news hit and they came, Jaune Arc, huntsman in training, was forced to live a cruel world where inhuman abominations, much worse than Grimm, roam the ends of Remnant. Months later, after getting separated from his family, he found himself half-starved to death and desperate for a place to call home. A rundown supermarket would say otherwise, but beggars can't be choosers.

One week left until the second semester and students across remnant arrive for the festival, when a Blackout has occurred in Beacon and a chain of events have started which has changed the course of the world as knows it and a young prodigy experiences a permanent change in her life. Can this prodigy still hope to be a hero? Contains vampires and liberties with canon, Ladybug.

Sequel to "Clash of the Ice Queens". In the aftermath of the attack on Atlas, Team RWBY and their allies now find themselves on another world for protection against the Collective's forces. While there Weiss and Jaune must confront their lingering feelings for each other as the Collective's leader searches hell or high water for a way to save what is most precious to him.

Destiny is changed, but not all things will turn up roses. From the ashes left at the Battle of Beacon a new path will be formed and time will tell the changes in the story of the Invincible Girl and a Simple Soul. Canon Divergence, starts in the volume 3 Finale, moving onwards from there. Pyrrha/Ruby, slow burn.

In which Oscar went with Ruby's team in volume 8, in which Whitley Schnee got the talk from Weiss he deserved. The hound was once an enemy, not it stands by the Schnee ready to help. If only he wasn't so awkward around the boy he liked!
