MISTER HENRY BLACKWELL YOU TREASURE OF A MAN, I FUCKING LOVE YOU. Lowkey one of my favorite side characters.

[arc-misadventures]

Son of a Queen

(Thud!)

: HACCCK! Tuuh!

: Did you really have to do that?

: I'm sorry... But, my mouth is full of blood from getting the shit beaten out of me! Do you have a better place for me to cough up blood other than on your interrogation table, Headmaster Ozpin?

Ozpin: No... no I do not...

: Ozpin, enough with this civility, we need to deal with this traitor!

Ozpin: In due time, James. We need to allow him time to gather his senses. Your Specialists as well as, Qrow's apprehension of him was rather... rough...

: Rough my ass you bastards...

Qrow: To be fair this brat has a large aura supply... we had to be rough with him to bring him into custody.

Ironwood: Well it doesn't matter, he have captured a member of her inner circle.

Ozpin: No, gentleman we caught someone much more than just a member of, Salem's inner circle. We've captured the son of, Salem, Jaune Luna Arc.

Jaune: Tuuh!

Jaune: Really... what makes you say that?

Ozpin: We captured your sister... Cinder Fall. We found evidence of her direct involvement with, Salem after we accessed her scroll. And, while we were looking though her scroll we also found you in her contact information, along with information on your relationship with, Ms. Fall.

Ironwood: So tell us... What precisely is your relationship with, Salem, and Cinder Fall... Son of Salem...

Jaune: ...

Qrow: Wait?! He's, Salem son?!

Ironwood: Yes he is, and you would have known that if you weren't busy getting drunk again!

Qrow: Hey, I was in pain! This kid throws a mean right hook!

Jaune: Hehe...

Ozpin: Regardless, tell us about your relationship with your mother, your sister, and her plans.

Ironwood: Or, else...

Jaune: Or, else what? Bring forth the wrath of the, Grimm upon all of, Vale, and Atlas. You should know, Ozma that after what happened last time, Salem is very protective of her kids... Very protective. So if you do anything to me, or my sister, Cinder. Then I will assure you, that by the time my mother, Salem is done with her rampage! That there will be nothing left for you to protect!

Qrow: Ozma...?

Ironwood: So, Cinder Fall is your sister?

Ozpin: I see she told you much me, she says she would burn me to ash if I so much as touched a single hair upon your golden head.

Jaune: You best listen to her, my sister is almost as vengeful as my mother.

Ozpin: Very well then... Tell me, who is your father, Salem's husband? I am curious to hear who was mad enough to marry that woman.

Jaune: He didn't. My father was, Acheius Arc, and my mother was, Juniper Arc.

Ironwood: Was? Salem's not your real mother, she adopted with you?

Jaune: Yes. My home town was attacked by a swarm of, Grimm, Salem showed up after the attack, and found my dying mother who begged her to look after me. Salem agreed, and she raised me as her own.

Ironwood: So, your adopted mother murdered your parents, and you just accepted that!

Jaune: I was only a child, I know not who my mother, or my father was. So I always saw, Salem as my mother. And, when I was older, and I asked her who my father was, she told me who my real parents were, and how they died. After her story she asked for my forgiveness, and I accepted it. Salem may control the, Grimm, but she doesn't send them out into the wild to kill people. You know full well, and who, or what their true master is, Ozma...

Ozpin: I see...

Ironwood: Tell me, what were you doing here. Why were you, and Cinder Fall doing here at, Beacon Academy?

Jaune: Well, I was training to be a huntsman, and as for my sister. She was just watching over me.

Ozpin: You just came here to become a huntsman? Bullshit.

Jaune: It's always been a childhood dream of mine to become a huntsman. Mom accepted this idea, wanting me to be who I want to be. So, that's why I'm here. Not to spy on you, any of you. I don't care for... whatever you're doing.

Ozpin: I see...

Qrow: I still call bullshit...

Ozpin: And, as for why your sister, Cinder Fall is here?

Jaune: Sis is a brocon... a massive brocon. Wherever I go she inevitable follows. Its as simple as that.

OQI: ...

Ironwood: Considering how she acted when we arrested her... I'm incline to believe him...

Jaune: Tell me, how did you two find us. You said you found us through my sister, so what did she do to earn your attention?

Ozpin: She hacked into our systems to try to make sure you two were partnered up. We've been keeping an eye on her ever since.

Jaune: Bloody brocon...

Qrow: How is she your sister; Did someone actually have the balls to sleep with that thing?

Jaune: Cinder was an abused orphan, she ran away from 'home.'

Ozpin: And, her... affection...

Jaune: Obsession...

Ozpin: Your sister's obsession with you; where does this stem from.

Jaune: Genuine familial love, and brotherly affection... Simple as that. Something I doubt any of you could ever understand.

OQI: ...

Qrow: Go fuck yourself kid...

Jaune: Hehehe...

Ozpin: So, you are the adopted son of a monster, Salem.

Qrow: And, you're the... little brother of that brocon.

Jaune: And, your point...?

Qrow: The hell is wrong with you? Having that bitch as your mother!

Jaune: Watch your mouth you whoreson! You live alone for thousands of years, only to have the love of your life come back, and betray you!

Ozpin: So, you do love that monster?

Jaune: Do I love her?!

~~~

Salem: Mmmmmhhh~!

Jaune: Fuck! Salem you're so tight!

Salem: It's been ages since I lasted bedded a man~! Time has tightened me up~!

Jaune: No, you were always this tight! Ozma was just a limp dick fuck!

Salem: It's not a fair comparison om the slightest~! Mmm~! So deep~! It's like comparing a shrimp to a thorough bred stallion~!

Jaune: 'Bred,' huh?

Salem: Jaune? What is... Fuuuck~! You're so deep~! What is it, Jaune~?

Jaune: This may have been my sixteen birthday present, but this isn't the last time we're doing this.

Salem: Hell no we aren't~!

Jaune: Well, Salem we're going this a lot! Want to know why? Fuck your insides are so warm!

Salem: Ahh~! Why? Mhhh, right there, Jauney~! Keep pounding me~!

Jaune: You had four with that man, let's try for six~!

Salem: I've lost track of...?! Ohhhh~! How.. how many times you've made me cum... You've certainly done better than him~!

Jaune: Wrong tally, my Queen~!

Salem: ...?

Salem: Oh.

Salem Ohh~!

Salem: Well, let's get started then shall we~?

Jaune: Lets~!

~~~

Jaune: She's the woman who saved my life! The woman who raised me from a child! Unlike you, you bastard, Salem can actually show love to her family, and her children unlike you, you murder!

Ozpin: I am not a murderer.

Jaune: You, and Salem are to blame for the death of your children. And, unlike you she does not believe she was blameless.

Ozpin: ...

Qrow: So, to get back at, Ozpin she adopted you, and that flaming bitch?

Jaune: My sister is protective of me, something that you couldn't possibly understand with your sister.

Qrow: Well, what about her being a brocon! How do you defend that you bastard!

~~~

Cinder: Please, Jaune?

Jaune: No.

Cinder: Come on, it'll be fun~1

Jaune: Finals are coming up, we need to study for them, Cin.

Cinder: But, we all need a chance to unwind~!

Jaune: We can unwind after finals.

Cinder: But, I don't want to wait that long little brother~!

Jaune: No.

Cinder: But... But, what if we invite some other people to join us?

Jaune: Other... people...?

Cinder: Yeah~! My partner, Neo has been giving you the look~! And, I know you partner, Pyrrha is also giving you the looks~! So, what do you say~? Why don't the four of get together, and have some fun~?

Jaune: ...

Jaune: Okay...

Cinder: YES!

Jaune: After finals are finished.

Cinder: FUCK!

Blake: Hey, quiet. This is the library.

Cinder: Hey, Blake we're going to have a foursome, want to join us, and make it a fivesome~?

Blake: ...

Blake: Yes...

Cinder: See, Jaune! Four people want top have an orgy with you! Let's do it!

Jaune: Haa... gods dammit...

~~~

Jaune: So, what my sister is a brocon. Everyone in, Beacon knows she is.

Ironwood: Do they now?

Ozpin: Yes they do. The amount of complaints we have received because of her is quite... substantial...

Qrow: Good gods...

Ozpin: Well it matters not, we have captured, Salem's children, and we will prevent them from doing anything that threatens the stability of, Vale.

Ironwood: I will prepare a prison transport to take these two away immediately. I will ensure that they will be locked away in a place forever.

Qrow: Well, looks like you will will never be seeing your sister again.

Jaune: It may be true you have me, and my older sister, but you haven't found my eldest sister.

Ozpin: Eldest sister?

"Boom!"

"SMASH!"

Jaune: "Cough cough!"

Jaune: Damn. You blew the door right off it's hinges right on top of them. Talk about a brutal takedown,

: It was. They attacked, and arrested my little brother. Those bastards deserved it.

Jaune: Really, cause it felt a little personal.

: You deal with their bullshit for years; Ozpin's delusional paranoia, Ironwood's rigid stick up the ass attitude, and Qrow's drunkenness, and tell me you don't want to beat the fuck out of them.

Jaune: Fair enough. Do you think they're dead?

: Maybe, Ironwood is more machine then man, so they could make him more of a cyborg now. Ozpin can just reincarnate so fuck him. And as for, Qrow... well, its his lucky day~!

Jaune: Low blow sis, low blow. So, should I take this as you cutting your ties with, Beacon, and Vale?

: I am.

Jaune: I thought you liked it here.

: I do, but I love my family more. Now come on, let's go break out the brocon pyromaniac.

Jaune: Alright, but before we go; Thanks for rescuing me, Glynda.

Glynda: Of course, Jaune. Anything for my little brother~!

Jaune: Alright, but I owe you one, Sis.

Glynda: In that case I know a way you can pay me back.

Jaune: Oh?

Glynda: Mom may get the first one, but I'm getting the second one~!

Jaune: The second...? Oh... Yeah... Yeah, I can do that~!

Glynda: Wonderful~!

Queer Adult SFF Books Bracket: Round 2

Book summaries and submitted endorsements below:

The Locked Tomb series (Gideon the Ninth, Harrow the Ninth, Nona the Ninth, and others) by Tamsyn Muir

Endorsement from submitter #1: "An extremely fun, humorous romp! A heart-breaking, soul crushing catharsis inducing tragedy! A thoughtful piece on imperial structures and trauma. On queerness, Muir flawlessly and without announcement, cracks gender open like an egg and spills its disproven guts across the page. The Locked Tomb does it all also bones, bitch."

Endorsement from submitter #2: "Lesbian necromancers in space. So many fascinating, sort of fucked up sapphic relationships going on."

The Emperor needs necromancers.

The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.

Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit.

Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier.

Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. Of course, some things are better left dead.

The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow

In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.

But when the Eastwood sisters—James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna—join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote—and perhaps not even to live—the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive.

There's no such thing as witches. But there will be.

RUBY LOSES IT

Ironwood: ...

Blake: S... S... SORRY!

Ruby: ACK! What?! Blake, what are you doing?!

Blake: I- I just apologized!

Ironwood: (Chuckles) You surprised me, Ms. Belladonna. I wasn't expecting an apology.

Blake: S-Sorry...

Ruby: What there something you needed?

Ironwood: We've had multiple reports of a counterfeit lien being used with these vending machines. I was wondering if either of you two have seen anyone suspicious.

Blake: Have you, Ruby?

Ruby: I don't really come this way very often.

Ironwood: According to some witnesses, the culprit is carrying a black bag with a red stripe.

Ruby: (Carrying black bag with red stripe)

Blake: Ha ha, you can't really think Ruby-

Ruby: (Hyperventilating, Sweating a lot)

Blake: (Thinking) WHAT?! What's with this weird reaction?! You don't have any counterfeit bills, do you?!. (Shakes head) No, no... That's impossible...

Blake: Don't scare me like that, Ruby-

Ruby: (Offering hands to be arrested)

Blake: D8>

Blake: Why is she turning herself in?!

Ironwood: Miss, are you carrying counterfeit bills?

Blake: O-Of course not... She's, uh, just readying to pass a volleyball coming her way... Right, Ruby?

Ironwood: ...Alright. Just to be sure, I'll need to check your bags.

Blake: Oh, of course! Here you go~! C'mon, Ruby-

Ruby: (On her hands and knees, Bill ahead)

Blake: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! SHE PULLED ONE OUT?! SHE PULLED OUT A COUNTERFEIT BILL?! She's... She's done for... I didn't think she actually had any...

Ruby: (Quietly) Forgive me... Please... (Glares up) FORGIVE ME! PLEASE!

Ironwood: Is this your only counterfeit bill?

Ruby: It's not counterfeit! It's real! It's a bribe!

Ironwood: I don't understand! (Grabs bag) Just... let me... see... your... Why are you resisting?!

Ruby: (Jumps into the air) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! (Lands) SIX?!

Blake: (Holding page)

Ren: (Bending Jaune over) Passion~.

Blake: (Giggling as her brain overloads)

Ruby: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (Walks up to Blake, Sets down other pages, Grabs her by her ankle, Spins like death roll)

Blake: (Page flies out of hand, Unconscious)

Ruby: (Snatches page)

Old Man Shopkeep: (Picks up other pages)

Ruby: (Roundhouse kicks him, Licks finger, Counts pages, Turns)

Juniper: (Chewing on a page)

Ruby: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! (Akuma shifts to Juniper, Grabs her leg, Spinning suplexes jackalope)

Juniper: (Pained rabbit sound)

Ruby: (Shaking, Grabs her head)

Ren: Just a headache, idiot... Idiot, idiot, idiot... IDIOT...

Ruby: (Walks away, Pages in bag)

Neptune: (Walks past her) Hm? Wh- WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?! Some kind of accident?!

Pyrrha: (Walks up) Oh, there you are, Juniper!

Juniper: (Weakly stands on her feet)

Pyrrha: Are you sick? You're shaking like newborn.

So for the invasion Au can you do Ciel next? Also Penny asking Ironwood if they should help but Ironwood says it's to late.

the Invasion... Snagging Soliel

Ciel was fuming as she marched through the dimly lit corridors of Beacon. Her eyes completely focused on her wrist watch. She was late. VERY late for a meeting with the General and Penny to go over the game plan for the Vytal festival tournament.

Ciel: How can this be happening! HOW!

So focused on her watch the young woman never notice the approach of a slightly younger blond haired teen coming up behind her.

Ciel: It's 7.5 minutes from the dorm to the General's temporary office. I've been walking for 4 minutes, so I am almost there. That will put me 2.5 minutes ahead of the time I reported to be at General Ironwoods office.

The blond teenaged girl continued to follow along behind the oblivious Ciel. A playful smile on her lips, and a skip in her step, making the pinkish skirt she was wearing over her black cargo pants, float about her, like the fashion crime it was.

Ciel: 2 minutes to the General's office.

Still unaware of the blond following close behind her, Ciel continued to walk her eyes focused on her watch. Turning a corner she looked up, and sighed. The door to the General's office was in sight. In fact the General and Penny were both just arriving themselves.

Behind her the blond pulled out a stoppered bottle and a rag from a pouch on her plate carrier. Popping the stopper silently, she up ended the small bottle against the rag.

Ciel: General! Sir! I am so.... HEY!!! GET O*muffled words*

????: You dear sis-in-law need to relax! I'm Juniper Arc by the way! Nice to meet ya!

Penny: Friend Ciel is in trouble! I must...

Penny is stopped by a firm hand upon her shoulder. Just down the hall from them Ciel was weaving about as Juniper was latched to her back holding a rag over her nose and mouth.

Penny: General?

James: It's too late for her Penny. Too late.

Penny: I don't understand? Why is it... too late?

In the distance Ciel finally sinks to the floor, her eyes closed as if she had just fallen asleep. Juniper shoved the rag into a pouch, before pulling out a roll of duct tape and securing Ciel's ankles and wrists together.

Juniper: Here's comes the bride! All dress in white!

James Ironwood continued to keep a firm grip on Penny as they watch Juniper start to drag the unconscious form Ciel back down the hall from which she came.

Penny: General? Why?

James: The Arcs have her, Penny. The Arcs have her.

Juniper's Jewels Info Post

I semi-announced this fic in my wips then forgot to do an info post.

POV: Written in 3rd person POV with a named OC that will have a physical description including hair, eyes, and body shape. Skin color will not be specified exactly.

Word Count: Currently at 11k but will be a shorter fic overall.

Pairing(s): Bucky x Witch!Baker!OFC (Not the same as Howling Witch)

World: Alternate MCU timeline where Tony lives but Steve isn't present.

Premise: What if Tony paid for specialty muffins and stuff for the compound and the baker was a retired Witch? What if the guy Tony had picking up the muffins was a moron that started dating her but then cheated on her and stole something really important to her? What if she had been abandoned and cheated on so many times she thouht she was cursed and just decided to give up on relationships? What if Bucky became her friend and her cat and Alpine became friends?

Thought Process That Birthed This: I saw a picture on Pinterest of a necklace while contemplating a short fic about a mediumburn romance where Bucky gets with a Witch that was cheated on.

Summary Blurb: Someone that works at the Avenger's Compound made a BIG mistake. Not only did they cheat on the Witch they'd been secretly dating for several months but they also stole something from her and gave it to the sidepiece. Well, technically they stole multiple things.

Movie Timelines: Post-Endgame and Post-FATWS-ish.

Warnings/Contents: Cheating (OFC is one cheated upon), betrayal, angst, feelings of hopelessness, fluff, slow/medium burn, magic use, flirting, dessert food, Raynor-hate (I intensely dislike Bucky's Therapist), maybe some canon-typical violence, mention of blood and gore and stuff, threats, LANGUAGE (obviously with me).

Other Notes: Main character's cats are magical cats. The kind where "Life finds a way" is going to be a thing and they are referred to with gender neutral pronouns because they are magical cats that do "life finds a way" things. (I'm crazy. I know I'm crazy. It is what it is)

*Contents subject to revision and change as I go along.

Estimated Time of Release: I honestly don't know. I'm still pretty deep into my long fic and random side oneshots. I suppose I'll work more on this if there's interest.

So, we all know @pmpknsoup’s “Ruby and Robyn holding hands while Ruby tells the group where she, Jaune, and the girls have been throughout Volume 9” post by this point. I’ve brought it up too many times on my blog.

However, thanks to @onceuponalegendbg-rwby, I see now that how such a scenario would slot into Volume 10 could go one of two ways.

On one hand, if it’s in an episode, it can fade between different inaudible sections of the story and catch up with Ruby finishing the story so that the volume doesn’t lose too much time on information we already know.

On the other hand, if it’s a character short like the ones Volumes 4-6 had, then the actual Volume 10 can focus on the story and we can actually see every reaction.

Personally, I think the character short choice is better. A way to satisfy everyone. Heck, I think it could have made for a good episode of RWBY Volume 9: Beyond, but then again, there were going to be more stories in mind before CRWBY had to settle on just four, due to Rooster Teeth’s shutdown and probably limited voice actor availability.

Oh my god. The tower. Its burning. The Lost Way Of Avalon. Centuries upon centuries of lost magic and knowledge and power, lost to fite and ashes and dust. I just...this pain I feel is indescribable. The hurt and the anger I feel are the same. I just feel lost.

The Tamir Triad series (The Bone Doll's Twin, Hidden Warrior, The Oracle's Queen) by Lynn Flewelling

For three centuries a divine prophecy and a line of warrior queens protected Skala. But the people grew complacent and Erius, a usurper king, claimed his young half sister’s throne.

Now plague and drought stalk the land, war with Skala’s ancient rival Plenimar drains the country’s lifeblood, and to be born female into the royal line has become a death sentence as the king fights to ensure the succession of his only heir, a son. For King Erius the greatest threat comes from his own line — and from Illior’s faithful, who spread the Oracle’s words to a doubting populace.

As noblewomen young and old perish mysteriously, the king’s nephew — his sister’s only child — grows toward manhood. But unbeknownst to the king or the boy, strange, haunted Tobin is the princess’s daughter, given male form by a dark magic to protect her until she can claim her rightful destiny.

Only Tobin’s noble father, two wizards of Illior, and an outlawed forest witch know the truth. Only they can protect young Tobin from a king’s wrath, a mother’s madness, and the terrifying rage of her brother’s demon spirit, determined to avenge his brutal murder….
