List of things changed in my forever WIP RWBY fanfic:

Ruby has a Grimm infection: When she and Yang were attacked by Grimm, one of the Beowolves bit her. Up to Beacon, it was nigh invisible, unless you looked at Ruby's silver irises, crowned by a slim red line. She also loves almost-red meat and is a bit more temperamental.

Weiss is a trans girl: She came out that fateful 10th birthday dinner from canon. Jacques 'allowed' her to transition, on the condition to be stealth (pretend she's cis). This is partially the reason she can't use her Semblance to its full range; she's hiding her identity, hiding part of her soul.

Blake and Yang stay the same: Honestly, I really like how their character arcs went through the series, and the slow burn romance. No notes (Blake ties Yang down).

Jeanne is trans: The Arc family says 'trans rights', no questions asked. However, they also said 'Jeanne is too delicate to be a Huntress'. So, there's a double layer of gender roles and expectations in her decision to go to Beacon.

Nora is trans, out and proud: In canon, her original costume has the trans colors. In my version, that's intentional. She's a caring person, and wants to be a Huntress to care for others. So she wears her colors to show it's safe to be out. Or she will make it safe with her hammer.

Pyrrha is a fox Faunus: Mistral is the racist continent. This includes smaller combat schools, like Sanctum, prohibiting Faunus from studying there. But Pyrrha saw being a Huntress as a mission, so she tied her sash in a way to cover her tail, and kept it like that the four years before Beacon.

Ren is as unhinged as Nora: Surviving Mistral as two orphans was harsh on Nora and Ren. They had to get used to violence, and quick. Nora became explosive, but Ren became accepting of nearly anything. He's ready to accept the craziest stuff, cup of tea in hand.

The leader of the Branwen Tribe is Raven Branwen, sister of Qrow Branwen, mother of Yang Branwen, and lover to Taiyang Branwen. Yes, this will all be on the test.

-------------------------------------------------------

Shay: Hey, maybe we should ask that new warrior that just popped up in Vale. R... Ru... Reuben?

Vernal: You mean that little girl who almost cried on Atlas TV? What's she gonna do? Cry on the Grimm?

Shay: Ha! Nice one, V!

Vernal: What a loser!

Ruby: (Listens to them all laugh at her, Sniffles)

Yang: Don't worry, Yang. They'll come around eventually.

-------------------------------------------------------

Raven: Who are you?

Ruby: I'm Ruby Rose! Daughter of Summer Rose and Taiyang Xiao Long, half-sister to Yang Xiao Long, daughter of Raven Branwen. Yes, this will be on the test.

-------------------------------------------------------

Ruby: (Thinking) There he is. Hehe... Little does Tyrian know, he's walking right into my trap. As soon as he tries to lay a hand on me, I'll give that murderer more than he barga-

Qrow: (Screams)

Ruby: Oh, fuck! He's killing Uncle Qrow! Okay, so, that wasn't part of the plan. But we can roll with it.

Ruby: (Eyes closed) Ahem! Oh, look at me! I am asleep and... vulnerable. I wouldn't want Tyrian to come and kill me like what happened to my Uncle Qrow just now! Man, that sure would suck~!

Tyrian: (Thinking) Hehe... Little does that sleeping girl know, I'm gonna do the exact thing she just said. I might have ignored her if she didn't acknowledge how vulnerable and averse to being killed she is. What an idiot~!.

Ruby: (Grabs Tyrian's tail)

Tyrian: NANI?!

Ruby: I meant to think of a clever one-liner to say before ripping your tail off, but I forgot, so... I'm just gonna do it.

-------------------------------------------------------

Ruby: (Crashes through the wall)

Salem: Why the hell didn't you just take the stairs?

Ruby: You had a catapult by the moat and the bridge was up and- Oh, forget it!

Ruby: (Slashes Salem, No effect)

Ruby: (Slashes Salem, No effect)

Ruby: (Slashes Salem, No effect)

Ruby: ...Welp, that's the first time I ever failed to penetra-

Salem: (Grabs Ruby, Slams her against the walls)

-------------------------------------------------------

Salem: Hey! Keep your hands off that relic! It's an heirloom!

Ruby: Heh... The only heirloom around her is... Uh... Y-Your head is about to be... No...

Ruby: Look, I'm going to cut your head off, but I can't think of a way to tie that into what you just said. So... (Decapitates Salem)

Ruby: Phew... I'm glad to see nobody see me drop the ball with the one-liners again.

-------------------------------------------------------

Ruby: So then I grabbed the sword and she was like, "Get your hands off that! It's an heirloom!"

Yang: Ooh! Did you hit back with something cool, like, "Your head will be an heirloom once I lop it off!"

Shay: Hoohoo!

Vernal: Dude, that's good!

Ruby: Uh... Pfft! Yeah! Of course I did!

Ruby: (Turns away) Dammit!

-------------------------------------------------------

Raven: I must say, Ruby, you've truly outdone yourself. Killing one of Salem's court is impressive enough, but killing Salem herself?! My dear, you have outdone yourself.

Ruby: Hell yeah, I have! Also, I found this old relic sword thing. But, uh, it used to be a lot bigger and heavier, so it's way more impressive that I brought it back the way it was when it broke.

Raven: You don't say. You know, looking at this damaged relic of an age long passed reminds me of the futility of chasing only one's personal glory. In the end, even the greatest of huntresses are still mere mortals and no amount of fancy armor or weapons, or fame or wealth, will ever change that simple face. Perhaps what truly matters in life is dedicating yourself to others in a kindness so that they may hold you in their hearts long after you... Ruby? Where'd you go?

Crowd: KEGSTAND! KEGSTAND! KEGSTAND!

Ruby: (Doing the kegstanding)

Yang: OH MY GOD, SHE'S THE COOLEST SISTER EVER~!

The Little Girl in the White Coat

Ruby: Ahh?!

Summer: What's wrong, Ruby?

Ruby: I burnt my marshmallow...

Tai: Give it here, Ruby. You can have mine, mine is nice, and brown!

Ruby: Yay! Thanks, Dad!

Qrow: How's yours coming along, Firecracker?

Yang: It's great! If Mom would stop stealing my marshmallows!

Raven: What?! I take offence to that! I did not steal my daughters marshmallows!

Tai: I can see the chocolate on your cheek from your last smore, Dear.

Raven: Ahh crap...

Qrow: Hahaha!

Tai: Alright girls, it's getting late, we best head to bed.

Ruby: What?!

Yang: No!

Tai: Come on girls it's late.

Ruby: Not until you tell us a story!

Yang: A scary ghost story!

Qrow: Well... we are around a campfire, and it is late at night. Its a perfect time for scary ghost stories!

Summer: Okay, but only one ghost story then off to bed with the both of you.

RY: Yay!

Tai: So, who has a scary ghost story. Ray, you got a scary ghost story to tell?

Raven: G-Ghost story?! N-N-N-No! I don't have anything to share!

Summer: Is, Raven...?

Qrow: Afraid of ghosts? Absolutely!

Summer: Oh? Oh that's good to know~!

Tai: What about you, Qrow?

Qrow: The clan didn't really tell scary stories. What about you?

Tai: Dad, never told me any stories around the campfire.

Summer: Well, looks like it's up to me then.

Ruby: You have a ghost story to tell, Mom?!

Yang: Is it scary?!

Summer: Mmm... It is a ghost story, but it's not a scary ghost story.

RY: Nawww...

Summer: But, it's also a story of a hero!

Ruby: A hero?!

Yang: A ghost story about a hero? That doesn't make sense.

Summer: Yes! This is a ghost story about the, Rusted Ghost!

Yang: The Rusted Ghost...?

Ruby: Can ghosts get rusty?

Summer: No, this is just the name of this particular ghost. Now then, you've all heard of the, Rusted Knight before?

Yang: Yeah! From that, Ever After book you read us!

Ruby: The Rusted Knight is the coolest!

Summer: Well, what if I told you a story about how the spirit, the ghost of the, Rusted Knight appears in this world too!

Ruby: What!

Yang: Is that true?!

Summer: Yes! Now then, this is a story about a young girl, no older than you, Yang. A young girl traveling through the woods, she was dressed in her favourite white coat, caring loafs of freshly baked bread to give to her loving grandfather!

Ruby: Bread? Why not smores?

Tai: You can't have another smore, Ruby.

Ruby: Nawww...

Yang: Keep going, Mom!

Summer: Well, as the little girl in the white coat was making her way through the woods, a pack of, Beowulf's jumped out of the bushes surrounding the little girl in the white coat!

Yang: Ahh?!

Ruby: Beowulf's?!

Summer: Yes! Beowulf's! They had come there to steal the little girl with the white coat basket! The evil, Beowulf's wanted all of her freshly baked bread for themselves! But, as the little girl in the white coat was cowering away from the, Beowulf's clutching her basket of bread in her hands. A rustling from the bushes was heard, and out from the bushes emerged, the Rusted Ghost!

Summer: The Rusted Ghost wore stunning pale white armour, he wore a helmet with slit groves in it. The ghost wore an off white cloak billowing in the wind. The ghosts armour was covered in gold that filled crevices in his shattered, and broken armour. The gold bled off across the armour, giving it the appearance of rust! He had a longsword, wrapped in a faded deep blue cloth along the hilt rested against his hip.

Summer: As he neared the monsters he pointed at the monsters, he spoke in a silent yet booming voice demanded that these monsters leave her alone! The Beowulf's all pointed, and laughed at him, they said they weren't going to do anything. That they were going to take the little girl in the white coat bread, and eat it all up!

Summer: But, the Rusted Ghost merely sighed as he drew his sword! And, as the Beowulf's saw this, and they charged him!

Ruby: No?!

Yang: They attacked him?!

Summer: Yes! They charged at the, Rusted Ghost! They bared their fangs at him, but the, Rusted Ghost stood it's ground! As the first, Beowulf lunged at him, his rusted blade flew through the air with a white, and golden blur as it sliced through one, Beowulf after another!

Summer: And, as the last, Beowulf fell, it's body fading into black smoke, disappearing, and blowing away before it even reached the ground! The Rusted Ghost looked around before sheathing it's blade, it walked along the ground with heavy, yet silent steps as it came closer to the girl in the white coat. The Rusted Ghost knelt before the girl, and ask if she was alright.

Summer: The Rusted Ghost asked the little girl in the white coat if she was alright, she said she was fine. The Rusted Ghost asked why she was alone in the woods, she said she was on her way to give this bread to her grandfather. The Rusted Ghost said it would protect the little girl in the white coat all the way to her grandfathers home.

Summer: So, the little girl in the white coat walked alongside the, Rusted Ghost. They walked towards her grandfather's home, as the little girl in the white coat saw her grandfathers house in the distance she ran towards it. She knocked on her grandfathers door, and her saw his dear grandfather. She leapt into his arms as she told him the story of her encounter with the, Rusted Ghost.

Summer: But, as the little girl in the white coat pointed towards the, Rusted Ghost, she pointed towards an empty path that lead out of the woods. The Rusted Ghost was gone! The little girl in the white coat cried out that it was just there, but the grandfather just laughed as he rubbed the little girl in the white coat hair, and brought her inside into enjoy some strawberry jam on a slice of freshly baked bread.

Summer: And, while the little girl in the white coat was sad that the, Rusted Ghost left, the Rusted Ghost was needed elsewhere. For there were other little girls, and boys out there in the world that needed the help from the, Rusted Ghost.

Summer: And, that my girls is the story of, 'The Little Girl in the White Coat, and the Rusted Ghost.' What do you think?

Ruby: That was an amazing story mom!

Yang: That was a great story mom!

Ruby: Another! Anoth... yawnnnnn... another story...

Tai: I don't think so, Ruby, looks like your body is saying it's time for bed. Come on, let's get to bed.

Ruby: But, I don't wanna... Zzzzz...

Qrow: Haha! And, she's out like a light!

Raven: Come on my little dragon, it's time for you to go to bed too.

Yang: Alright, Mom. Goodnight, Mommy.

Summer: Goodnight, Yang.

~~~

Tai: Okay, the girls have been put to bed.

Raven: And, since the kids are asleep, the drinks are out!

Qrow: Yes! Toss a can here!

Raven: Here ya go little brother. Tai, you want one?

Tai: Sure toss it here.

Raven: Here you go. Sunny?

Summer: Hmm?

Raven: You want a beer?

Summer: Oh? No, no thank you.

Raven: Suit yourself.

Qrow: Ahhh! Now this is how you finish a night: Sitting by all your friends around a campfire, drinking a beer under the stars!

Tai: It sure is.

Raven: Ahh~! That hits the spot... So, Summer?

Summer: Yes?

Raven: 'The Little Girl in the White Coat, and the, Rusted Ghost...' You know, I've heard plenty of stories about the, Rusted Ghost, but I've never heard that one before.

Tai: You've heard ghost stories about the, Rusted Ghost? I thought you bandits would tell horror ghost stories around the campfire, not stories about the, Rusted Ghost.

Qrow: No, we've heard quite a few stories about the, Rusted Ghost. but, I've never heard that one before either.

Raven: Did you just make that one on the spot?

Summer: On the spot? No... Well... I... I just tweaked it.

Raven: You 'tweaked it?'

Tai: What do you mean by that?

Summer: Well... The little girl in the white coat, doesn't sound so different than the little girl in the white cloak.

Qrow: The little girl in the white cloak?

Tai: The white cloak?

Raven: Wait, was this story about you?

Summer: Some of it, the real story is actually rather... dark.

Qrow: What do you mean by that?

Summer: ...

Summer: This story takes place when I was fourteen. I was in a small town with my grandfather, I was training to become a, Huntress, and my grandfather took me to this small town dealing with, Grimm attacks.

Summer: While my grandfather was talking to the mayor, two men came to me panicking, they told me they saw some, Grimm. Not thinking about it I followed them, but as we got deeper into the woods, three more men came out of the trees, and jumped me.

Qrow: They what?!

Tai: They jumped you...?!

Summer: Yeah... Two of them forced me to the ground holding my arms as I struggled in vain to get them off. Another kept there hand over my mouth so I couldn't scream for help as another man loomed over me...

Summer: He said I was stupid little girl... A wanna be, Huntress falling for such a simple little trap. Wanting to be the hero, not thinking about running straight into danger.

Summer: His companion... one of the men who tricked me into coming into the woods told the man to shut up, and get on with it already...

Summer: The man standing over me laughed as he told him to shut up, that he was just, 'savouring the moment.' After that, he ripped up my corset, then he tore off my skirt, next was my undershirt... Then lastly... he ripped of my bra...

Summer: Three men were holding me down, another was standing by watching, and the last one was kneeling over me, stripping me naked... In that moment... even after years of facing down hordes of, Grimm, I've never been more scared in all my life. Even now, just talking about it sends chills down my spine...

Tai: Summer... Y-You don't need to continue if...

Summer: No... No, you three are my family... You deserve to know this story. Besides... as scary as this all was, it ends on a somewhat pleasant note...

Raven: How the fuck does a story about almost being rapped end pleasantly?!

Summer: Because I wasn't rapped.

Tai: Oh thank gods...

Qrow: Gods... You scared the shit out of us, Summer! Gods, Raven hand me another beer, I'm going to need it.

Raven: Okay, but I get the other one. Hell, I think I better break out another six pack.

Tai: Good idea...

Qrow: I hate to saying this, but... can you please continue, Summer?

Summer: Okay... Well as I was struggling in vain to break away, there wasn't much a fourteen year old could do to get four fully grown men off of her. A voice, a voice as silent as the nights sky, but boomed with the echoing roar of a thunderstorm spoke up.

Summer: It asked what was going on, the man standing by the side told the man to go fuck off. The voice spoke again, asking what they was doing with that girl, to me. The man laughed as he said that they were going to have some fun with me. In a quiet yet commanding voice I heard the words, 'I see.' I then heard the sound of shuffling of metal as heavy, yet light footsteps neared me.

Summer: The voice said one thing, 'Let the girl go, or die.' The man laughed, and told the man to fuck off. Then, I heard the sound of the drawing of steel, then I heard a small thud, followed by an even heavier thud. The man who tore up my clothes then got up, he pulled a dagger from his waist, and told the man he had fucked up. He then screamed, and fell to the ground clutching the severed stump where his hand once was. Then I heard another sound, the sound of a mans throat being cut.

Summer: As I saw that man's body fall, dead upon the ground, I finally saw my saviour... It was just as I described him to the girls...

Summer: Dressd in full plate armour as white as bleached bones... Antique gold running around the trim of the armour, and filling in the cracks of their broken armour, fading off the white giving it's rusted hue. A long sword with a white blade, and golden antique pommel, and handguard, with a faded deep blue leather around the hilt. He wore a matching bone white cape with gold bleeding off of it that flapped in a calm breeze.

Summer: What stood out to me the most was it's helmet. It was a faceless, emotionless, and yet... I could feel an intense gaze, a silent rage, that held an absolute authority, and control over this situation.

Summer: I had heard stories, even heard rumors, but in that moment all of them were true. That the, Rusted Ghost, no... that the spirit of the, Rusted Knight was real.

Summer: One of the men that was holding me down let go, and charged at the, Rusted Knight. He fell after the brush of one swing of it's sword. The other two men let go of me, pulling out their knives, and charged him. The first one fell when a sword was thrusted through his chest, his body fell onto the ground the, Rusted Knights sword still buried in his chest.

Summer: The last man was grabbed by the throat, and hoisted into the air, turning his body around before slamming his body on the ground. He cried out in pain, and then in fear as the, Rusted knights armoured boot slammed down, crushing the mans skull into a pile paste...

Tai: He crushed his head with his foot?!

Qrow: Damn... talk about a brutal takedown...

Summer: The Rusted Knight's back was facing towards me when it did this, but I distinctly remember the sound, and the way the mans blood splashed about...

Summer: After this mans... execution. The Rusted Knight pulled out it's sword from the dead man's body, flicking the blood off it's blade before sheathing it. It walked over to me, and knelt down in front of me. I covered myself the best I could with my cloak to give myself a modicum of dignity.

Summer: His voice was so calming, even though it felt so cold... But, it said to me... 'Little girl in the white cloak... are you alright?'

Summer: I said I was fine. Well, mostly fine. I was almost rapped just then... But, the Rusted Knight asked if I could stand, and I did after I steadied my nerves. The Rusted Knight then said it would guide me back to the town. The Rusted Knight never spoke another word after that, and yet, despite this intimidating, and commanding aura that the, Rusted Knight had. I've never felt more safe with the, Rusted Knight than in all of my life.

Tai: What? I thought you felt safest in my arms?

Summer: Oh, don't be so jealous, Dear~! There is a difference in filling safe within your lovers arms, and a knight in shinning armour. Much less one of myth, and legend.

Tai: Still bet you feel safer with me... You feel safest in my arms don't you, Raven!

Raven: Are your arms my wife's arms?

Tai: N-No...?

Raven: There's your answer.

Tai: Ohh...

Qrow: Pff! Hahaha! Suck it, Tai! You're not your wife's knight in shinning armour!

Tai: Shut up...

Summer: Hahaha. Well, after we reached the edge of the forest to the village, the Rusted Knight stopped, and gestured towards the town. That this was as far as it would go. I saw my grandfather, and I ran towards. My grandfather saw me, and came running towards me, grabbing me, and then screaming at the residents of the town as he saw the condition of my clothing. I told my grandfather that despite my appearance I was fine, I told him that I was saved, saved by the spirit of the, Rusted Knight.

Summer: My grandfather said that was ridiculous, but as I pointed to the woods where I came from, the Rusted Knight was no longer there. And, while my grandfather didn't believe me about the whole, Rusted Knight bit, he was forced to believe that someone did save me when he found my would be rapists mangled corpses. After that we went home, and that's the end of my story.

Tai: Whoa... That's... That's a hell of a story...

Summer: You believe me?

Tai: Of course I do, we all do, right guys?

Raven: You're my wife, Summer. I know how good of a liar you are.

Qrow: Or, more correctly, how bad of a liar you are.

Summer: I'm not that bad! R-Right...?

TQR: Ahh-hahaha!

Raven: No, you're worse than that.

Summer: Hey!

Qrow: So, did anything happen after you were nearly... Uhh...?! A-After you met the spirit of the, Rusted Knight?

Summer: Well, I never strayed far from my grandfather, or my teammates after that. But, one day when I was on another mission with my grandfather. I saw this old lady at a shire, it was a shire dedicated to the, Rusted Knight. I told my story to the old lady about my encounter with the, Rusted Knight. She was one of the few people who believed my story about my encounter with the, Rusted Knight.

Tai: Did this old shrine lady believe in your story?

Summer: Yes. She was one of the few people to believe my story wholeheartedly. After that she gave me this charm.

Raven: Oh, so that's what that pendant you hang around your neck is.

Summer: Yep, it may be nothing more simple than a simple copy of the, Rusted knights helmet, which bares a striking resemblance to the real, Rusted Knight's helmet.

Qrow: Does it now?

Tai: It is a nice design...

Raven: So, it's a good luck charm of sorts?

Summer: It certainly is to me. I was wearing it when I was made team leader. I was wearing it when the three of us became a couple, I was wearing it when we got married, and when I gave birth to my adorable little rosebud! To me, this charm, meeting the, Rusted Knight has been the greatest possession I've ever been given. Well, second only to my wedding ring~!

Tai: Pff... Now you're just saying that to butter me up.

Summer: Is it working~?

Tai: ...

Tai: Yes...

Summer: Hehehe~!

Qrow: Well, looks like we got our scary ghost story after all...

Raven: I would have preferred a scary monster story than that. But, it's still a hell of a scary story...

Tai: I'll say...

Summer: Well, even after all that had happened, I still wish I could see the, Rusted Knight one more time. I never got to say thank you to him for saving me. I was so in shocked over everything that had happened that it never crossed my mind.

Tai: Wait, did you say, 'Him?'

Summer: Oh, yeah I did.

Tai: What makes you think that the, Rusted Knight was a guy?

Summer: W-Well... The body's shape, and the voice were certainly a mans voice. But, what mostly stood out to me was the, Rusted Knight's eyes...

Qrow: Eyes? The Rusted Knight has eyes?

Raven: And, you saw them?

Summer: I did. When the, Rusted Knight knelt before me, he was at eye level with me. I saw the most beautiful blue eyes~! They were a deep cerulean blue that glowed with an ethereal beauty that was captivating to behold... I fell in love with men having blue eyes that day onward~!

Tai: Oh, so that's why you fell in love with me, because I have blue eyes?!

Qrow: Damn talk about being jealous.

Raven: Even I'm a little jealous... Oh well, maybe there is still a chance you'll see the, Rusted Knight in the future, Summer. In one way, or another.

Summer: One way, or another? What do you mean by that?

Raven: One of the stories we were told is that the, Rusted Knight exists on a whole different plane of reality.

Summer: Wha...?

Raven: They say that, Rusted Knight existence is on a whole different plane then ours. Sometimes they appear as a child, an old man, or the knight we all know. They say as a child the spirit of the, Rusted Knight brings joy, and happiness. The old man brings wisdom, and knowledge to those in need. And, the Rusted Knight is the warrior that protects all those that are in need. They say that there are even more forms than that.

Qrow: Yeah, I've heard a story that, Rusted Knight is a spirit that reincarnates into a new body every generation. So who knows, you may meet your, Rusted Knight in another way in the future.

Summer: Oh well, considering the circumstance under how I first met the, Rusted Knight, I would prefer that's how I meet them again.

Qrow: I'll say...

Tai: Well, if by some miracle you do meet again, do let us know how it went.

Summer: Will do. Now then, let's all head to bed, It's getting late, and the girls have school in the morning.

Qrow: Damn... I'd like to stay up more, and chat. But, Sunny's right, we best get to bed. Dealing with the girls antics is already hard enough with a hangover. I don't want to imagine dealing with them when I'm also sleep deprived...

Raven: Now that sounds like a nightmare, and a half.

Tai: Well, you heard the little lady: Off to bed everyone!

Qrow: Sweet dreams guys. And, Summer, don't dream too much about knights in rusty armour saving you. You don't want your husband, and wife getting jealous now do you?

Summer: I don't have that many dreams about the, Rusted Knight saving me!

TR: Say what now...?

Summer: Uh oh...

~~~

Years Later

~~~

Summer: Now then... Where are our girls?

Raven: This place hasn't changed much since we attended, Beacon.

Summer: Considering, Ozpin is as stagnated as a mountain, it's not a surprise it hasn't changed.

Raven: There's certainly a lot of people here. I didn't know that many people came for parent visiting day.

Summer: That's only because you, and Qrow hid in our dorm room because you don't have any parents to visit you

Raven: Oh shush you! Now then, let's go find our ki...?!

: Mommmm!

Summer: Hmm? Ooph?!

: Mom! It's so good to see you!

Summer: Ow... Oh, Ruby? Oh it's good to see you too my little girl~! You've gotten stronger, you nearly knocked me down with your semblance.

Ruby: I've been training really hard! Me, and my teammates are doing really good!

Summer: Oh, and where are your fellow teammates?

Ruby: Oh, well, my partner's older sister came today so she's spending time with her big sis. Yang's partners mother came by so she's speaking with her.

Raven: Speaking of, where is my little brat?

Ruby: Oh, she's talking with her partners mom, getting gossip so she can tease her with later. They're in the cafeteria.

Raven: Ahh, that's my girl. Now then, I'll go see what my little brat is up to. I'll see you girls later.

Summer: So, besides your teammates have you made any other friends?

Ruby: Oh, yeah I have! I've made friends with a fellow team, Team JNPR! I'm especially close with their team leader! His name is, Jaune Arc!

Summer: Oh, how close are you two? Can I expect him to visit us all at home any time soon?

Ruby: Mom?! I'm not... We're not like that! Besides... his partner already has dibs on him...

Summer: Oh~? Well, maybe you can share him, just like your mom, and Raven.

Ruby: Mom?!

Summer: Ah-hahahaha!

Ruby: Ohhh!

Ruby: Hmmm? Oh there's dad! DADDDDD!

Summer: Whoo?! My, she’s gotten faster! Well, I'm glad to see she's enjoying herself here.

: Hmmm? You look like an older, Ruby. Are you perhaps, Ruby's mother, Summer?

Summer: Hmm? Why yes, I am. My name is Summer Rose who are... you...?

: Hello! I'm a friend of, Ruby's. My name is, Jaune Arc! It's a pleasure to meet you!

Summer: L-Like wise...? White armour... A longsword with a golden guard, and pommel wrapped in blue leather... And, glowing deep cerulean blue eyes...

Jaune: Is something wrong, Mrs. Rose?

Summer: N-N-No! Nothing's wrong, it's just... your armour, and weapon... It looked similar to someone I knew...

Jaune: Oh really? Anyone I'd know?

Summer: Not likely. The person I knew existed long before my daughter, or you were born.

Jaune: Oh, that's a shame. Ahh well, if there's nothing to be done about it, then that's that.

Summer: Did... Did anyone ever tell you that your eyes... That your eyes seem to glow?

Jaune: A few people have actually. I just think I have bright blue eyes that just makes them look shiny.

Summer: Ohh... that makes sense... Hmm? Oh, your bracer, was it broken?

Jaune: Hmm? Oh yeah, it was broken. Well, cracked would be a more appropriate description. My fellow classmate, a brute with a large war hammer crashed down on my bracer during a training bout, cracking it. But, as you can see, I repaired it.

Summer: But, how did you repair it? Normally when you repair armour that's been cracked you reforge it, right?

Jaune: Normally yes. But, my ancestor learned about this technique in, Mantle called, Kintsugi. It's usually used to repair broken pottery, and the like. But, my ancestor figured out a way to use it to repair armour, and weapons. Despite how it looks, it actually makes my gear stronger than it originally was.

Summer: Oh my, that's an interesting technique, I would love to learn it.

Jaune: Sorry, I'm afraid I can't tell you, Mrs. Rose. It is a family secret after all.

Summer: Then perhaps you could marry one of my daughters, and have one of them tell me?

Jaune: I doubt that would work. Ruby is more likely to ask me to marry her for my families chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Summer: Ah-haha~! Now that sounds like my little girl.

Jaune: Yeah, a lot of our bets are, Ruby demanding cookies from me. I'm getting a little tired of baking cookies, but it's not as bad as my teammates pancake obsession, so I'll take what I can get.

Summer: Well, there's always that one teammates with food obsession. My husband has this strange obsession with pickles.

Jaune: Pickles? Never really cared for them myself, but to each their own.

Summer: Yes, that how things...?!

Tai: Qrow?! No picking fights with the, Schnee girl!

Raven: Fuck her up little bro!

Summer: Haa... I best get going, the last thing I want is my teammates being called to the principles office, especially since we've all graduated.

Jaune: That'd certainly be funny as hell though.

Summer: Yeah it would be... Well, I best get going, it was a pleasure talking to you, Mr. Arc.

Jaune: It was my pleasure...

Summer: Okay what are they up...?!

Jaune: Little girl in the white cloak.

Summer: Wait, WHAT?!

Summer: How do you know that... Name...?

Summer: ...

Summer: What...? Where did he...?

Ruby: Mom! Come quick! Uncle Qrow is tearing up the courtyard fighting my teammates big sister! You got to stop him!

Summer: What, but... Where did, Jaune go?!

Ruby: Oh you were talking to, Jaune?

Summer: Yeah, he was just here. But, I turned my back to him, and he was just disappeared...

Ruby: Oh yeah, Jaune does that sometime. Honestly I think it's his semblance, or something.

Summer: D-Do you think I could talk to him again?

Ruby: Yeah, sure! But, why do you want to do that?

Summer: I just... I just wanted to say thank you...

[razorblade180]

Ruby:*walks in* Heeey Yang.

Yang:!? Is that a bruise on your neck?

Ruby:Yeah. A really annoying Beowulf threw a rock at me dead on.

Yang:…Ruby, you don’t have to lie to me. I know Jaune have been spending time together, so-

Ruby:*opens door* Look.

Yang:Huh?

Giant ass Beowulf statue

Yang:…Why’d you stone it?

Ruby:Because the moment it hit my neck I thought, “Damn, Yang isn’t going to believe me!”

Yang:Honestly you should’ve gone with kissing boys. It’s more embarrassing it hit you with a rock.

Ruby:I know…

Yang:You have a speed semblance.

Ruby:I KNOW!

[ficretus]

*in Vacuo cafeteria*

Weiss: I feel like we are never gonna live up to our ancestors.

Ruby: What do you mean?

Weiss: I mean, look at us and look at them. Your mother was legendary huntress, Blake's parents were pioneers of Faunus Rights Movement, my grandfather founded SDC and helped to connect the world. Sometimes I feel like all we do is fumble around and make everything worse.

Blake: You've been spending too much time in RWDE tag.

Weiss: What?

Ruby: What Blake meant to say is that we shouldn't compare ourselves to our predecessors. We are ourselves, end by being ourselves we will surpass them.

Jaune: Ruby is right. In some ways we already surpassed them. Weiss you steered your family in right direction and helped to save thousands, Ren defeated Nuckelavee and Yang's mom is a bum so Yang is better by default.

Yang: *smirks* I'll allow that.

Raven: You know I can hear you... *mutters* lousy brat.

Weiss: Weren't you overwhelmed by your family's legacy?

Jaune: I was, but then I realized this whole Arc thing is highly overrated. I mean look at the list of my ancestors. My father and grandfather were regular Huntsmen. Preceded by Dijon Arc who was farmer and condiment producer. Preceded by Cream Arc, rabbit breeder. Preceded by Beige Arc, con artist. Preceded by Lemon Arc, erotic novel writer...

Blake: Wait, Lemon is your ancestor? The person who made up Faunus heat cycles crap?

Jaune: See, completely overrated. Then there was Amarillo Arc...

*ten minutes later*

Jaune: And Flavius Arc was preceded by Aurelian Arc. No idea about that one, but I mean... look at him. Some masked weirdo.

Jaune: Aurelian Arc, born in a small town in Valean frontier. Became an elite warrior when he was 15. Overthrew corrupt pretender despot in Vale and became an Emperor of Vale. Repelled an invasion from Mantle, Mistral and Vacuo. Crushed separatists on Patch.

Ruby: Stinking revisionism...

Jaune: Repelled 753 separate Grimm hordes. Was known as Beowulf Basher, Nevermore Nullifier, Ursa Unmaker...

*5 minutes later*

Jaune: and Sabyr Strangler. Unified all of humanity under his banner as God Emperor of Remnant. Just as he was about to invade Grimmlands he was backstabbed by two of his bodyguards, Milius Lunarius and Carius Crucis. They feared that his main character energy would forever relegate everyone into irrelevance and that his sheer power made story way too boring.

Weiss: That was lot of information to take in.

Jaune: You know what... I agree with Weiss, we are never gonna live up to our ancestors.

[draconesmundi]

Happy Dracones Monday! Firedrakes!

Happy Dracones Monday! This Monday we're looking at four dragon species at once, the firedrakes! Here they are, approximately to scale with eachother.

The glitterdrake is the smallest, the size of a large lizard or small cat. They live in laurel forests on Macaronesian Islands, in the Atlantic near Africa. Glitterdrakes aren't based on mythology; I put them on Macaronesia because I couldn't find Macaronesian dragon mythology but I am trying to put dragons EVERYWHERE on the map. Also, putting these dragons on an archipelago of islands means I can have a lot of island subspecies and colour morphs - glitterdrakes represent colourful fantasy dragons, so having them come in every colour (sapphire blue, ruby red, emerald green, royal purple, burning gold, shining silver etc.) was important to me.

The Welsh dragon is smaller than the other European firedrakes at 1.5 meters. They are no less fierce - there aren't any common firedrakes in Wales as a common firedrake cannot maintain a territory there for long. Originally I had the Welsh dragon as a subspecies of the common firedrake, but decided that this dragon had so much personality and folklore that it could get it's own chapter.

The common firedrake is found in Western Europe, 4m long. When designing these I noticed in a lot of heraldry dragons don't seem to have horns? Ears yes, but hornless? Also I noticed that dragons in heraldry tend to have the dorsal finlets from the back of the head to between their shoulders, but no further, which is something I have kept for all my firedrake species.

The viridian firedrake is the largest firedrake species, over 5m long. They are found in Eastern and Southern Europe, and in Russia. I based their appearance on old storybook illustrations to make them look very 'classic', which is why they have horns and cheek frills compared to the more heraldic and hornless common firedrake.

Rant about the term 'firedrake' under the cut! :)

In other creative works, these are called 'classic dragons', 'European dragons', 'true dragons' and 'Western dragons', but I am not a fan of these terms - 'true dragon' implies other dragons are untrue dragons, which is nonsense. 'Western dragon' or 'European dragon' is largely accurate (the 4 legged 2 winged dragon design is common in Europe and the West) but there are other Western and European dragons (wyrms and wyverns) and I find these terms confusing when other types of dragons are taken into account. Also, some Asian dragons also have 4 legs and 2 wings. 'Classic' dragons... serpentine and wyrmish dragons are more classic than 4 legged 2 winged firebreathers, etc.

I went with 'firedrake' as a term for these dragons because 'drake', 'drachen', 'ddraig', 'drac', 'drak' and 'dreki' are all words for dragons like this in European languages, and because firedrake is a word used in literature like some translations of Beowulf and, of course, Tolkien's Legendarium (firedrake comes from Old English fȳrdraca). I think it's a good word that easily conjures up fire breathing four legged, two winged dragons without making them more 'true' or 'classic' than other dragon types or tying them specifically to 'European' and 'Western' countries.

In Dracones Mundi I really try to get a huge diversity of dragons across to the readers. There are around 68 dragon species in this project, only 4 of which are firedrakes. I want to show readers there is more to dragon mythology than "here is a western dragon, they are evil and associated with fire, here is an eastern dragon, they are good and associated with water" - I want to dig deeper. I want people to know about azhdarha, about cuélebres, about coameh. So I'm shining the spotlight away from these firedrakes and trying to make them a small part of a much larger discussion. :)

[novankenn]

Ruby and co: (Kicks open door) Jaune we are here to save you!

(Sees Jaune on a Therapy couch talking while Salem writes stuff down.)

Jaune: and then they start laughing at me. Like excuse me your egos can't handle that I was prettier than you or your date at the dance in a dress.

Team RWBY was nearly spent. Slogging their way through wave after wave of grimm to rescue their friend who had run off without them to face Salem. Standing in front of a set of ornate doors they prepared to rush in... at least until Ruby saw a note taped to the door. It was written in elegant script, but it still caused her some confusion.

Session in Progress Please DO NOT Disturb.

Ruby: Um... I... I...

Blake: What is it Ruby?

Ruby: There's a sign here... um...

Yang: Who cares. We're here to get VB. Let's go!

Weiss: The sooner we rescue the dolt the sooner we can get out of here. Hit it Yang!

Ruby: WAIT!

Yang: Too LATE!

CRASH!

Yang: Yo VB the calvary... huh?

Before them was Salem in a very professional black pant suit with a red blouse, sitting in a plush arm chair. A clipboard balanced on he crossed legs a pen in her hand and a pair of wire rim glasses sitting on her nose.

Jaune was in just his pants and a tee-shirt. His weapon and armor piled at the foot of the plush couch he was reclining upon.

The pair were completely ignoring the interruption...

Salem: So when you mother said that to you. How did you feel?

Jaune: Terrible. It hurt.

Salem: I see. So would you say that lack of support made you push limits and face extreme risks in an attempt to receive validation?

Jaune: I... maybe... I'm not sure?

Salem: That's okay. This is just your first session and it will take sometime to help you unpack all this emotional baggage and mental trauma you have been subjected to, at your own hand and that of others.

Ruby: ...

Yang: ...

Blake: ...

Weiss: ...

Salem: Can I have a moment Jaune?

Jaune: Okay. Should I...

Salem: No. You stay right there. I just want to have a WORD with these interlopers...

Jaune: Okay.

Salem rose from her chair, set her clipboard and pen aside before approaching team RWBY.

Salem: I am busy, so if you have any business with me that does not revolve around mortal combat... please see my secretary and schedule an appointment.

Yang leans backwards and gazes out the door to see a desk, that she could have sworn was not there before, off to one side of the door, stationed by a rather annoyed looking Beowulf in a skirt and blouse. A mug of coffee in its hand.

Ruby: And if it is about... mortal combat?

Salem: Then I will have to ask you to leave or the authorities will be called.

R_BY: ...

Weiss: Are you accepting additional clients? Maybe even couples sessions?

Salem: Those can be arranged. Please speak to my secretary and once I've finished this session I will come to see you.

R_BY: ...

The Hunstman Your Man Could Smell Like!

Ruby(playing Uno with Oscar and Ren): Plus two Oscar.

Oscar(sighing as he draws two cards): This isn’t as fun as I thought it would be…

Nora(barging into the room): GUYS!!! JAUNE-JAUNE’S IN A COMMERCIAL!!!

Blake(lowering her book as Nora moves to turn on the TV): Really? What for?

Nora(shushing the Faunus as Yang and Wiess join them in looking at the TV screen): Hush! It’s on!

The screen opens up to show Jaune standing in a bathroom wearing nothing but a towel around his waist.

Weiss(eyes widening at the sight of Jaune’s bare-chest): Oh my…

Ruby(a smirk adorning her face): Oh~, I’m liking this already…

Jaune(speaking in a suave manner with his left arm behind his back): Hello~ Ladies~…

Jaune(as WBY’s eyes widen at his tone of voice): Look at your man, now back to me.

Jaune(as Nora comedically looks between Ren and the screen): Now back at your man. Now back to me.

Jaune(shaking his head a bit): Sadly, he isn’t me…

Jaune(smirking as he holds his left hand up to reveal a bottle of Old Dust bodywash): But if he stopped using lady scented bodywash and switched to Old Dust, he could smell like he’s me.

Ren(deadpan look on his face): My bodywash isn’t “lady scented”…

Nora(shushing her boyfriend): Yes it is…

Jaune(as his friends follow his command): Look down, back up, where are you?

Jaune(as the backdrop lifts up to reveal a yacht, a wrapped shirt drops onto his shoulders and the towel is removed to reveal fancy dress pants): You’re on a boat, with the Huntsman your man could smell like!

Jaune(walking off the side and lowering his hand): What’s in your hand? Back at me.

Jaune(lifting his hand to reveal an oyster): I have it! It’s an oyster.

Jaune(as the oyster opens up to reveal two tickets): With two tickets to that thing you love!

Yang(chuckling to herself): Oh he’s good!

Jaune(as the oyster is replaced with diamonds overflowing from his hand): Look again! THE TICKETS ARE NOW DIAMONDS!!!

Oscar(confused): What kind of commercial is this?

Jaune(as a bottle of Old Dust Bodywash slowly rises out of the diamonds in his hand): Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Dust and not a lady…

Jaune(as the camera pans down to reveal him riding a Beowulf): I’m on a Grimm!

Smell like a man, man.

Old Dust

Nora(smirking at Ren): We’re getting you some Old Dust!

Ruby(licking her lips with hearts in her eyes at the sight of her boyfriend on screen): Gods I love that sexy man…

[silentmagi]

RWBY AU where Ruby is actually a new type of Grimm made by Salem to pose as a human and infiltrate human society before shifting to a more monstrous form and slaughter everyone.

Summer found a baby specimen and took her home because she thought that she was an abandoned baby. Ruby imprinted on her and began looking more like Summer as she grew up. Nobody in the family cares if she’s not human and if anyone dares to hurt her will be eliminated swiftly and painfully

Series: RWBY AU Criteria: Little Grimm baby Ruby was crafted to infiltrate humans as one of their own and bring about their destruction. Summer has other plans in mind. AU title (optional): Grimm Tidings

Summer Rose, on a mission finds a Grimm spawning pool, and after using her eyes to eradicate most of them, she finds little baby Ruby with bone white skin and black nails and teeth, and silver eyes giggling in a corner. Before her eyes, the baby turns into a copy of herself spreading out from the eyes. She goes "Is anyone going to adopt and raise this baby?" and not even wait for an answer.

Taiyang is a bit surprised by the baby, and then confused by the explanation. But Ozpin and Summer both tell him it's okay, and she's helping him raise Yang, so he agrees to raise the baby that Yang already loves.

Ruby tries to transform and attack once. Yang just squealed happily and then proceeded to hug the non-existent bones out of the Grimm child. This only stops once Summer and Taiyang convince her to turn back, and then Yang is super gentle as baby is fragile.

Ruby grows up happy, healthy, and cautious about her real form escaping her control. She wants to help people and be a huntress. Her scythe, Crimson Rose, is her solution to let out her agression, while also giving the fragile ones a chance.

She has multiple stages of Grimm-ification. First she sprouts a large, fluffy black tail with red tips, and shadowy ears with Grimm white and red edges. Second is a Grimm face of an elongated wolf's skull that covers her face, the red fading into silver around her still silver eyes. Third is a full Beowulf Grimm, but with silver instead of red markings.

Labor & Oxytocin

Kali: (bursts through the front doors of the hospital) And this is precisely why I told Blake that she needed to give birth back home, not in some overpriced hospital a continent away.

Ghira: Kali, dearest, please, control yourself.

Willow: Kali, it was the safest option. You said yourself that you had plenty of complications giving birth to Blake.

Kali: And now I'm realizing that over 36 hours of labor is worse than having a few complications. (to the nurse) Blake Belladonna. Where is she.

Willow: Thirty-six hours?!?!

Jaune: Uh, Mrs. Belladonna! What a surprise! Really, truly, a pure shock. Um, unfortunately, even though you are her mother, I'm not allowed to disclose-

Willow: (cuts him off) No! You are bringing us all to Blake's room this instant. (glyph beowulf suddenly appears next to her) Unless you want a pack of beowolves to scour the hospital and we can find her ourselves.

Jaune: (sweats) Yes, Ma'am! Right away, Ma'am! This way, Ma'am! (quickly leads the three to Blake's room)

Blake: (panting and in discomfort as Yang escorts her around the room) This is absolute hell...

Yang: (rubbing soothing circles on Blake's lower back) I know, babe. I know. (kisses Blake's head)

Doctor: Good news. You're only six centimeters away.

Blake: (groans)

-Door bursts open to a very protective mother panther-

Kali: Where's the doctor fucking up my baby girl's labor?!

Blake/Yang: Mom?!/Kali?!

Doctor: Excuse me, Ma'am, but you can't be in here-

Kali: Don't care. What have you done to help my baby girl get the baby out?

Doctor: We have tried everything from walking laps, squats, and bouncing on the labor ball.

Willow: What about oxytocin? Have you tried that?

Nurse: It's written in Ms. Belladonna's file that she's allergic to synthetic oxytocin.

Kali: .....(to Willow) Oxytocin?

Willow: Pleasure hormone.

Kali: They synthesize that? Why? Her wife is right there. (points at Yang before turning to the doctor) Are you seriously saying that you never considered natural stimulation to help my daughter???

Doctor: Erm.... Excuse me?

Nurse: I... think she's referring to pleasuring the patient....

Blake: The patient is right here and can hear you! (groans)

Kali: There's no mistake that the gods put the g-spot in the birth canal. What gets the baby in will get the baby out.

Ghira: (mortified) Good lord....

Doctor: That's highly unorthodox-

Yang: Wait, I can just play with Blake's clit until she dilates?!

Kali: With climax. Ladies always come first.

Yang: Damn right they do.

Willow: It allows the most oxytocin to get into the bloodstream.

Ghira: kill me now....

Blake: That's it! Everyone, out! That goes for you (points to doctor) you (points to nurse) and definitely you (points to Ghira). (turns to Kali and Willow) Respectfully, because I don't want you to... you know...

Kali: Already gone, dear. (kisses Blake and Yang's foreheads before leaving the room, hauling a flabbergasted Ghira with her)

Willow: Best of luck, dears. (strokes their cheeks affectionately) I'll call Weiss and tell her to get here as fast as she can. That baby is going to be here before you know it. (grabs the doctor by the coat collar and drags him out of the room)

Nurse: (follows dutifully, leaving Blake and Yang alone)

Blake: Yang...

Yang: Yes, babe?

Blake: You know the drill. And if this doesn't work, I'm going to kill you.

Yang: (gently lifts Blake up and brings her to the hospital bed) I happen to have a 100% mission success rate. I don't intend on marring that now!

Two hours later, the Xiao-Long/Belladonna family welcomed a beautiful baby into the world. Ghira was still suffering. Kali could not have been prouder. Willow and Weiss squealed with delight. Ruby rand spaztically around the room. Qrow and Raven agreed that the baby was so ugly it was adorable. It was a great day.

A Schnee Outing(Pt. 1)

Ren and Nora were heading back to their dorm room after a long day of work. Once they enter however they were shocked for what they saw. Weiss was on her knees in front of Jaune. She was begging and they just had to know why.

Weiss: Please?

Jaune: No.

Weiss: Please?

Jaune: Not going to happen.

Weiss: Please, Jaune, I beg you.

Nora: Hey what's going on?

Weiss: Nothing important.

Nora: *not buying it.* Jaune.

Jaune: Weiss and Ruby want to hang out except Winter, who promised to schedule a day with her is coming with them.

Ren: Okay, so what does this have to do with Weiss on her knees begging?

Jaune: She wants me to ask her sister out on a date.

Nora and Ren jaws were dropped after hearing that and in a few seconds, they snapped out of it.

Nora: WHAT!? Is that true?

Weiss: *embarrassed and starts crying* Yes!!! It's true!!! I want to hang out with Ruby and I don't mind Winter wanting to tag along but I also don't want her to feel like a third wheel!

Ren: I don't think Winter minds that.

Weiss: Plus she'll ask a variety of questions, and wanting a very detailed answers to each one!

Jaune: Oh so she's Yang but more deadly and insane. And better.

JNPR door opens with an angry Yang barging through. Her eyes were red with fury as Jaune felt a disturbance, knowing he’ll die if he doesn’t change the subject.

Yang: What was that vomit boy!?

Jaune: *while sweating* I said, Yang, you’re beautiful and sexy, and you shine brighter than any sun in the galaxy.

Yang accepts the answer and step back. However she wants Jaune to know one thing before she leaves. Warning him of what’s to come as she slowly walks back to the door.

Yang: Okay. Don't slip. I have ears. And these hands are not scared to punch you. Got it?

Jaune: Of course.

Yang closes the door leaving Jaune relieved he can live another day.

Jaune: (Shit that was close.) Anyways no.

Weiss: *puppy dog eyes* Please!?

Nora: Come on, help the girl out. It's just one date.

Ren: Plus, it'll be good experience for you since you never been on a date before.

Jaune: Screw you, Ren. And that is true, but I prefer when it's natural not forced.

Weiss: Oh come on, Jaune, please, I'll do anything!

Jaune: The answer is still no.

The conversation was going nowhere, so Ren, wanting Jaune to go on date, decides to give some ‘encouragement’.

Ren: Hm... what if I happen to send Yang that video clip of you cutting and dying her hair back at Beacon.

Jaune: *shocked* What?

Nora: Oh, I think Yang may still be wondering how her hair got that way. If I were to recall she said if she finds the perpetrator, then she will make them wish they were never born. Last time, she suspected Cardin and she stomp the living crap out his balls.

Ren: She then proceeded to hunt down anyone she suspected, almost destroying the school. Maybe we should-

Jaune: *death stares* You wouldn't.

Ren: *death stares back* Try me. Bitch.

Jaune and Ren continued to stare each other down, until Jaune gives up and decides to help.

Jaune: *sigh* Fine.

Weiss: You'll help? Really?

Jaune: Like I have a choice. I would rather let a Beowulf kill me than Yang. Not after what happened last time.

Nora: Oh yeah.

Ren: That woman went Yandere crazy.

Jaune: So, when is this supposed to happen?

Weiss: Next Saturday.

Jaune checks his wallet and bank account and sees he might not have enough cash to pay for Winter, let alone for what he needs for going out for a casual stroll. He knew while he had time he needed to make preparations.

Jaune: Okay that gives me some time. Nora? Can you help me shop for something to wear?

Nora: Sure thing. When?

Jaune: Friday will have to do.

Ren: But that will be the day before the date arrives. Why then?

Jaune: Look I don't have a lot of money, so I need to pull extra shifts if I'm going to make this work. Anyways, Weiss-

Weiss: *happily hugs Jaune* Oh thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Jaune: No problem. Now lead me to your sister.

Weiss leads Jaune to Winter's room. While walking they discussed how to approach the situation so Winter can accept Jaune invite to go on a date. Weiss tries to tell Jaune about the things Winter like however she didn't really know Winter to well beyond just playing with her as a child and training with so he was out of luck. When they arrived Jaune was nervous and no can blame him, after all he couldn't get Weiss to go on a date with him, so how on earth will he get the Ice Queen's sister to accept his offer. Jaune then stopped and took deep breathes and was to knock only to see Winter already opened it.

Winter: Oh hello Mr. Arc.

Jaune: Um... Ms. Schnee…

Winter: What brings you and Weiss here to my room?

Weiss: Well, Jaune wanted to ask you something. Right, Jaune?

Jaune: Yeah.

Winter: Okay, but can it wait, I need-

Jaune: Ms. Schnee?

Winter: …

Jaune: Will you-

Winter: Will I?

Jaune: Will you -will you- will you (Damn it, come on, Jaune, just say it. Don't be a wimp. Remember your doing this to survive and help a friend. Now, SAY IT.) Ms. Schnee, may I go on a date with you!?

Winter: A date?

Jaune: Yes.

Winter: With me?

Jaune: Yes.

Winter: ...When?

Jaune: Saturday.

Winter: Oh really? I'm sorry but Saturday I'll be with my sister and her partner Ms. Rose. Maybe-

Weiss: He can come with us.

Winter: Are you sure?

Weiss: Of course, the more the merrier. Plus, I mean he's perfect for carrying our bags.

Jaune: (Oh you ice cold bitch.)

Winter: Hm… very well. As long as Mr. Arc is comfortable, I'll gladly accept his proposal.

Jaune: (Oh brothers really?)

Winter: *up in Jaune's face* Saturday, at the entrance of the school, at 9:00 am. Don't be late.

Jaune: Yes ma'am.

Winter: And rule number one, call me by my first name.

Jaune: Yes Ms.- I mean, Winter.

Winter: Good, see you then.

Winter walks away to attend to her duties while Jaune was left speechless.

Weiss: Well that went great.

Jaune: Really? Carrying your bags.

Weiss: It worked. Now, I'll take my leave. See you Saturday.

Weiss walks away leaving Jaune to sign.

Jaune: Well I better get busy.

Jaune:Hey Rubes? Have you seen-

Ruby:*wobbling in heels*…Yo.

Jaune:Y-Yo. What’s going on here?

Ruby:I’m conquering my enemy. I beat Salem; high heels are nothing to me! *walking slowly*

Jaune:High heels weren’t attacking society. What’s with the dire intensity.

Ruby:I’m not gonna look stupid at my own wedding.

Jaune:You’re wearing heels.

Ruby:Yep! You’re tall, my dress is long, and despite all odds Weiss has a point about these making your butt look nicer.

Jaune:You don’t have to force it. I already like your butt.

Ruby:Pfft- stop! I can’t laugh and concentrate at the same ti- ahhh!

The poor lady trips over her own feet, falling forward and being caught by Jaune.

Ruby:Should’ve let me face plant. Pain helps me learn.

Jaune:Walking in heels means nothing if you have a broken nose for our wedding. Honestly…it would be a brand. *plays with her hair*

Ruby:Hey!

Jaune:Haven’t seen it this long since heading to Mistral. Growing it out?

Ruby:Perhaps! It’s actually growing faster than I expected. I might have to trim it a bit before it gets too long for the big day.

Jaune:No offense, but I never took you as the type to have fantasized about their wedding day growing up.

Ruby:Because I didn’t. I was thinking about how to improve slingshots and wildling sticks into toy swords.

Jaune:Man I wish any of my sisters were that cool when I was a kid. What’s changed? The girl I traveled with was looking at flame capes.

Ruby:She’s still right here! It’s just… *red* When my boyfriend said he loved me for the first time, I started thinking about after the battles end.

Jaune:…Can I propose to you again?

Ruby:You already know my answer, dork. *kisses cheek* I know I don’t have to wear heels. Hell, I could probably show up in a combat skirt and everyone would find it normal. But I dunno…even I imagine looking like a dream on my big day. I’m actually a little excited to get all dolled up. Is that weird?

Jaune:It might be the most normal thing in the world. Saph is no girlie girl but even she wanted to wear a nice puffy dress like a princess.

Ruby:Like if there’s one day I’m going to attempt to be the prettiest I’ve ever been, it’s gonna be my wedding! And Weiss is all for it. Still, *raises foot* the first step is kicking my ass.

Jaune:You’ve wrestled down a Beowulf. I believe in you Rubes. Though you might want to put cushions down.

Ruby:Hehe, yeah. *squints* Hey, my dear fiancé. If memory serves right, you know how to dance in a dress.

Jaune:I was in sneakers.

Ruby:But do you know how to wear heels?

Jaune:….Let me buy a pair.

Ruby:Ha! Say what you want about your sisters, I’m reaping the benefits!

Wolf Faunus Weiss AU (part 7)

"Bang!"

Another shot from Crescent Rose, and another beowulf lost its head to the weapon's scythe. Because she was worried about Weiss, Ruby didn't bother to count how many so far. But she was pretty sure she was two or three grimms away from setting a new academy record on confirmed kills.

Problem was that she was already getting tired. She was so distracted checking through the forest for Weiss, that she didn't pay attention until the first beowulf punced at her. She didn't have any problem killing it, but that's how she discovered she had run right in the middle of a pretty big pack.

As she panted, using Crescent Rose as a support as much as a weapon, Ruby couldn't help but think about the last time she visited her mother's grave.

'If I make it out of this, I should visit her,' she thought. 'When I make it out of this,' she corrected herself, replacing the weapon's cartridge and swallowing her tiredness, embracing herself for another beowulf charging at her.

Only for a wall of ice to appear in front of her, trapping the grimm in the ice. Ruby blinked, a bit blinded by the sudden burst of white in front of her, but she immediately recognized the silhouette of--

"Weiss!" She hugged her from behind. "Where were you? Are you okay? How did you find me? Is that Blake's bow?"

"It's a long story, I'm okay now, we heard your weapon's discharge, and it's part of the long story," Weiss replied as two more beowulfs started to claw at the ice wall, both breaking it and freeing the first one. "Got a plan?"

"Can you give us a cover?" Ruby spun Crescent Rose to get ready.

"You got it," Weiss spun Myrtenaster's chamber for a fire dust charge and fired it, making the ice wall explode in a cloud of snow that covered them and the grimms.

Two more rounds echoed inside the cloud, followed by the heads of the beowulfs. The third one was pushed back, with Weiss jumping over and landing a stab right through the grimm's chest.

The remaining three beowulfs roared as they were closing the distance. But before they were over them, a ribbon flew in front of them, stabbing the one to the left and making the three trip and fall.

Blake jumped over them, beheading one with the cleaver half of Gambol Shroud. She didn't even bother to turn as the other two only got to get on their legs before they were finally killed almost at the same time by slashes of Crescent Rose and Myrtenaster.

"Oh-kay," Ruby panted, retracting her weapon and leaning over, resting onto her knees. Weiss and Blake put a hand on each of her shoulders, helping her up.

"Weiss," She looked at her friend as they began to walk back to Beacin. "What happened to you?"

"As I said, it is a long story," Weiss looked aside, avoiding her friend's silver eyes for a moment.

When she looked back, she found both hers and Blake's yellow ones looking back. One showed only worry and the other nodded in support.

"I will tell you everything, but after we get at Beacon." That should give her enough time to think about how to tell everything. "And after Yang comes back. I really don't want to explain this more than once."

"Alright," Ruby replied. "As long as you're okay, I'm okay." And she closed her eyes, enjoying the walk with her friends in peace.
