Bumbleby Week 2023: Belated Day 2 - Sacrifice

Teams RWBY, JNR, CVFY, and SSSN are standing in Headmaster Theodore's office with Qrow, Raven, Winter, and Ozcar.

Theodore: Thank you all for coming at such short notice. We've just received a report that there's a wall of Grimm moving across the desert towards the city. They're expected to be here tomorrow morning.

Qrow: Tomorrow morning?!

Theodore: At the latest...

Ozcar: You've already made a decision on what to do next. I can tell. What is it?

Theodore: (sighs) We need time to evacuate the residents. The only way I can see that working is if we have a security force stationed on the city's outskirts to intercept the wall.

Raven: But.... that's a suicide mission.

Theodore: (silence)

Raven: .......You're looking for volunteers before you order people to die for the city.

Qrow: (slams fists against Theodore's desk) Are you serious?!

Theodore: Look! It's not ideal, but it's the only solution we have!

Everyone: (start arguing and shouting)

Yang: How many people do you need?

Everyone: (silence)

Ruby: Yang?

Weiss: (shocked silence)

Blake: (staring blankly)

Theodore: (stares in surprise) There's a 50% chance for success if we have 100 volunteers.

Qrow: Just call them cattle with how you're sending them out to the slaughter.

Yang: .....I'll do it.

Everyone: (stares at Yang in shock)

Raven: The hell you are.

Yang: You don't get to-

Raven: Not by yourself. Sign me up.

Weiss: Can we maybe take a minute to-

Blake: EXCUSE YOU!!!

Yang: (winces)

Blake: (sets herself firmly in front of Yang so she can't look away) Have you learned absolutely NOTHING from Atlas?! From the vault?!

Yang: Blake...

Blake: We separated during the Mantle-Amity disaster, and I was worried sick about you. You were thrown from the platform, and I thought I lost you forever. (Tearing up angrily) Now you want to throw yourself into a suicide mission?!

Yang: (curls in slightly on herself) Blake...

Blake: Don't! Just... don't.... I need a minute. (Turns and walks out the door)

-Door Slams-

Everyone: (silent)

Weiss: (to Yang) Well?

Yang: Well, what?

Weiss: Stop being a moron and go talk to her!

Yang: She asked for a minute.

Weiss: So you go after her, wait for sixty seconds, then go up to her, throw yourself onto the ground, and beg for forgiveness for being a dumbass!

Yang: (slightly taken aback and looks to Qrow)

Qrow: Don't look at me. My love life hasn't been much outside of a few one night stands.

Yang: (Looks to Raven)

Raven: I'm with the miniature snowman.

Weiss: Hey!

Raven: Go talk things out. No decision will be set until you both come to an agreement you can work with.

Theodore: We don't have time for-

Qrow & Raven: (eyes glint as they draw their swords)

Theodore: (cowers into his seat)

Yang: R-Right! Right! Wish me luck! (Sprints out the door after Blake)

Mini Fanfic #1180: Strolling Down the "Wedding" Lane #2: Rosegarden (RWBY)

???? Unknown Area.........

After suddenly falling down from a planted trap floor from a few floors up above, in a last ditch effort, Oscar took this opportunity to swoop himself over and catches Ruby in his arms before both his feet lands on the solid ground below.

Oscar: GOTCHA!

'THUD'

Oscar: (Starts Panting Quite a Bit) That.....was way too close....For our own comfort.....

Ruby; (Gently Place Her Hand onto Oscar's Arm) Oscar, are you okay?

Oscar: ('Sigh in Great Relief') Yeah....I habe no idea what's going on right, but I'm glad we made it down here in one piece at leadt

Ruby: (Sighs as Well) Yeah, same here. On that note....(Happily Hugs Oscar in his Arms While Nuzzling his Cheeks with Hers and Wiggling her Legs Up and Down) My Sweet Herooooooo!!~ You're so cool and brave!~

Oscar: (Chuckles a Bit Ticklishly by his Girlfriend's Affections) Ruby, I only did what I could to try and save you. It's nothing to it than that.

Ruby: I know, but I couldn't help but be more prouder of you than I already am!~ I mean, look at you: you even did the Super Hero Landing and everything!!~

Oscar: (Looks Down to See his Knee is Laid Down on Back Side and his Foot is Down on the Front) Is that right? (Starts Getting Himself Back Up on his Two Feet) I.....somehow no-(Suddenly Felt a Small Cramp in his Knee, Causing Him to Bring it Back Down) ('Crack') Tice!

Ruby: (Immediately Gets Worried as She Jumps Off of Oscar's Arm to Go Check on Him) Oh no! Is your knee hurting you?

Oscar: Just a bit, yeah....(Sits Himself Down on the Ground) I forgot how painful it gets every time I stick to theses types of landings.......

Ruby: Yeah, it's usually get hard on your knees a bit. Now, hold still for a bit. (Sticks Both of her Habds Out, Creating a Red Light In Front of Oscar's Knee)

Oscar: (Eyes Widened a Bit as He Recognizes the Form Ruby's Making) Wait, you can heal now?

Ruby: (Smiles a Bit Sheepishly) Kinda? Jaune's been teaching me how to do Heaking Aura as of late, but I'm still a little rusty.....How is your knee's feeling right now?

Oscar: (Felt his Knee Slowly but Surely Healing Up to it's Regular, Functioning Self) A lot better actually, thanks. But....you know I could've done this myself, right?

Ruby: Yeah, but I wanted to return the favor. You got my back, I got yours, remember? (Lend a Hand to Oscar)

Oscar: (Stares at Ruby For a Brief Second Before Smiling Back and Happily Nodded in Agreement) Right. (Takes Ruby's Hand Let her Help Him Back Up on his Feet Before Looking Around the Pitched Black Area) Where are we?

Ruby: ('Sigh') That's what I wanna know. That host guy has been making us do that dumb Couple's Questionaire Challenge for twelves straight minutes and he just dropped us in here outta nowhere like that? (Crosses her Arms Together While Pouting) Is this some kinda elaborate their pulling? Cause I'm NOT giggling in the slightest!

Oscar: Or a trap waiting to get us when we least expected.('Sigh') I knew we should've brought our weapons with us before taking participating in that dumb game.....But either way we can't afford to let our guards down for even a second, with or without th-

The sound of all the lights getting turned on one by one was loud enough to ring the couple's eardrums in surprise as they turn their attention to the room now revealing itself to have blue, aurora filled skies, flower filled field, a vine carrying a portrait from the ceiling, and a road with a few sets of heart shaped wooden tunnels going up ahead, while the sound of organs suddenly starts playing out of nowhere, much to their dumbfounded surprise.

Oscar: ...........You know what? Nevermind. Maybe this is a prank after all......

Ruby: What....are we even looking at right now?

???: This, my friends.

The sudden mechanical sounding voice spooked Ruby well enough to make her quickly hug her boyfriend's arm while shaking a bit.

Mechanical Voice: Happens to be the destination you have finally arrived to.

Oscar: (Raises an Eyebrow) What kind of destination exactly?

Ruby: Yeah, you invisible jerkwad! (Angrily (And Shakingly) Points at the Air) Tell us what's going on right now and I won't have smash your dumb face in!....W-Whereever you are!!

Mechanical Voice: Patience, my friends.

Ruby: Who says anything about us bring your friend!?

Mechanical Voice: This sacred destination is where two lovers who met their destined partners, discuss their love for each other. What could be waiting up ahead?

Oscar: (Looks Over to the Road Ahead of Him and Ruby) That can't be our only way out.....can it?

Ruby: Hold that thought.

Ruby lets go of Oscar's arm and uses her semblance to dash her way to the other side of the room before coming straight back a few seconds later.

Ruby: (Starts Panting a Bit While Bending her Upper Body Down Close to her Knees) I.....can't find.....a single exit......around.....this....stupid place! (Sits Herself Down on the Ground) It's like an endless void or something.......

Mechanical Voice: In order to find out what lies ahead, you must step forth, hand-in-hand and embrace what this particular road will have in store of both of you going forward. Now, please step forth.

Oscar: ('Sigh') Well, that answers all that. Forward we go I guess. (Turns to Ruby) You feeling okay there, Rubes?

Ruby: Yeah. (Gets Herself Back Up on her Feet) Had to catch my breath for a second there. Now then.....(Grab Hold of Oscar's Hand) Shall we go forth, hand-in-hand, my good sir?~ (Forms Bright, Cheeky Grin on her Face)

Oscar: (Stares at Ruby For a Brief Second Before Snickering) You are such a dork, you know that?~ (Starts Walking Forth Along with Ruby)

Ruby: (Chuckles Lightly) Hey, you fell in love with one~ Besides, don't act like you don't have your dorky moments too, mister. (Forms a Teasing Smirk) Remember that sweet love song you sang a while back? A kiss from a rose perhaps?~

Oscar: (Rolls his Eyes a Bit) I was hoping to forget about that one, thanks......And hey, wait a minute. (Glares at Ruby) You sang a son about me afterwards!

Ruby: Yeah, but it wasn't even remotely close as being as romantic as yours, with that nice, angelic singing voice of yours.

Oscar: (Starts Blushing While Turning Away and Rubbing his Head) You're being too modest here....Your song was nice too, albeit short, and you're singing isn't bad ei-(Eyes Slowly Starts to Widened at What is in Front of Him and Ruby) therrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......

Ruby: Oscar, what's- (Eyes Starts Widening Up as Well) wrrrrrOOOOONNNNG!!!?

The couple's shocked face speaks volumes as they witnessed a golden portrait of Ruby dressed in a dark red wedding dress, carrying Oscar, wearing a green tux, in her arms,

Mechanical Voice: Here, you will see the bride and groom's joyous commemorative photograph of their undying love and passion for one another.

Oscar: (Almost at a Loss For Words) ........Your kidding.

Ruby: (Places her Hands on Both Sides of her Head in Complete Disbelief) WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!? How? When? Why!? What kind of constant makes you answer a bunch questions, brings you down here with a trapped floor, and flat out assume you want to get hitch!? This doesn't make any lick of SENSE!!! AT ALL!!! .(Continues Ranting On)

Starting to notice something was off, Oscar walks himself over towards the picture to take a closer look. It took him thirteen and a half seconds later to find a few details before turning back to his distressed girlfriend.

Oscar: Hey, Ruby. Ruby!

Ruby: (Immediately Stops her Ranting and Gives Oscar his Attention) Yeah?

Oscar: Come over here for a second. Take a look at this. (Watches Ruby Walk Herself to The Picture Frame Before Turning Back to It) Notice something odd about all of this look? Like how big both our heads are compared to our bodies?

Ruby: (Starts Taking a Closer Look at The Picture Herself) Yeah......Our heads does look better in this......('Gasps') And they don't remotely blend in with the bodies at all!! (Turns to Oscar with an Angry Look on her Face) Those jerks photoshopped us!!

Oscar: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) Photoshopped?

Ruby: It's where they take a photo part of you and try altering and editing it into another one, hoping it could blend into the other photo's background. (Crosses her Arms) And they did s real lousy job on that front, that's for sure!

Oscar: (Looks Back at the Fake Photo) Yeah, no kidding. It doesn't look nearly look as believable looking back at it. And why exactly are you carrying me in your arms?

Ruby: To make it stand out I guess. (Slowly Starts Smirking Again) Which reminds me~

Oscar: ('Sigh') Oh God. What is it?

Ruby: I never did get the chance to carry you bridal style. (Playfully Shrugs) Now it seems like a pretty good time for me to finally give a go, don'tcha think?~

Oscar: Ruby, we're not even close to finding our way out of here, we don't have time for this.

Ruby: (Clasps her Hands Together While Giving Oscar the Puppy Dog Eyes) Pleaseee?~ I promise it'll be quick. I'll even teach you how to execute a Raging Demon properly!

Oscar: (Raises an Eyebrow) Really?

Ruby: Really ×1000 with a cherry on top~ (Rapidly Blanking her Eyes in a Cutesy Manner)

Oscar: ('Sigh') Alright. You got yourself a-DEAL!? (Quickly Gets Scooped Up into Ruby's Arms, Bridal Style)

Ruby: Gotcha!~ Right in the neck of time too~ (Winks at her Boyfriend)

Oscar: (Playfully Rolls his Eyes) My speedy hero. You're already enjoying this, aren't you?

Ruby: (Forms a Playful, Seductive Smirk on her Face) Not as much as I'm gonna enjoy kissing that cute freckled face of yours~ (Starts Kissing Oscar's Freckled Cheeks)

Oscar: (Chuckles Ticklishly) Sheesh!~ You're in a more romantic mood than usual, Rubes. What gives?~

Ruby: (Casually Shrugs) It's Valentine's and whatnot. (Starts Pouting Again) And whaddya mean "more than usual"? I'll have you know that I have been the most romantic young woman in our lovely relationship!~

Oscar: Are you really though?~

Ruby makes a cute angry noise at Oscar, causing him to chuckle even more.

Oscar: Kidding, kidding! You're very romantic in your own cool way and I love you a lot for it. (Kiss Ruby on the Cheek)

Ruby's heart starts to melt in pure happiness as she hugs Oscar close to her before suddenly notices something from afar.

Ruby: ('Gasps') Oscar! Look! (Points Oscar Towards....) A door!

Oscar: (Eyes Widened atvthe Door in Question) You're right.....(Smiles Brightly) That might be our one ticket outta here.

Ruby: (Smiles Brightly as Well) Well, what are we waiting for? Let's Cheese it!

Ruby was about to activate her semblance until the sudden sound of the alarm Starts ringing their ears.

Mechanical Voice: Halt. Halt. You two are not permitted to use your semblance and/or run towards the door ahead.

Oscar: Seriously!?

Ruby: (Glares at the Invisible Voice) And why not!? We're halfway to the ending point, aren't we?

Mechanical Voice: Indeed you are. But this road to enlightenment is an once and lifetime experience that cannot impatiently rush. Therefore, If you and your friends wish to leave this entire facility, then I advise the both of you to continue to walk this path as originally planned.

The couple groans in defeat and pure annoyance as Ruby puts Oscar back down on his feet before continuing their tedious quest, walking on foot.

Ruby: (Starts Grumbling On) ('Groans') I swear, I wish where that voice is coming from so I could punch him in his dumb face....

Oscar: You and me both. But the closer we reach to that door, the more time we'll have find the others and leave. We can't stop now.

Ruby: Yeah, yeah.....

'A Bit of Silence'

Ruby: Hey, Oscar, can I ask you something?

Oscar: Yeah, what is it?

Ruby: Do you hate Uncle Qrow?

Oscar: (Turns to Ruby with a Bit of a Confused Look on his Face) Not....really? What makes you think that.

Ruby: Well, for starters, always look uneasy whenever you two see each other, like you're trying to avoid talking to him or something. (Rolls her Eyes a Bit) Not like he's any better in comparison......

Oscar: ('Sighs Heavily') Yeah......That's not surprising.....Considering we don't really gotten along as much as we should. (Roll his Eyes) Mostly cause of everything Ozpin related.

Ruby: ('Sigh') Of course.....So, is that one of the reasons why you two fought in Vacuo in the past?

Oscar: (Eyes Widened as He Immediately Stops Walking) Wait, how did you-

Ruby: Emerald told me about during our lunch outing the other day.

Oscar: Really. That's the third time this week you guys been hanging out this week.

Ruby: Yeah, it's been an ongoing thing we do oddly enough. (Pouts at Oscar Again) And before you say anything, NO! This doesn't automatically make the both of us friends!

Oscar: You sure? (Chuckles a Bit) Cause it kinda sounds like you are actually starting to get along for once.

Ruby: AS ASSOCIATES!! (Crosses her Arms) That doesn't mean I wanna be buddy-buddy with her of all people! She know what she did.

Oscar: And she's more than willing to pay the price for it however she can, her words. Just try and give her another chance, will ya? As rude, harsh, and smart-mouthed as she gets at times, she can also be as cool and understanding once you guys get to know her more better. Hopefully.

Ruby: I still don't trust her. ('Sigh') But I'll try and get along for you.....Now, quit stalling and tell me why you and Qrow were fighting!!

Oscar: (Takes a Deep Breath Before Speaking) Okay, so......It all started when we reached to Vauco. We all assumed you, your team, Jaune, and Penny were dead at the time, so we arranged a funeral for all of you. It was an emotionally stressful time for most of us to endure, Qrow especially.......

Ruby: (Pinches the Bridge of her Nose) Oh no......Please don't tell me he was drunk during that time.....

Oscar: ('Sigh') Unfortunately. He seemed so....out of it the moment we saw him step into the room. Laughing, crying, freaking out and throwing out anything in the room he could find.........I tried calming him down, he shoved by the shoulder, yell at me, and said, and I quote: "I am nothing but a useless, puppet meat shield, who should've fell down and died instead."

Ruby: (Eyes Widened in Shock, Couldn't Believe What She Heard Just Now) ......What?

Oscar: It's the truth. He said it right in front of face...... And it got to me. Egregiously so. I have worked my hardest to contribute to the team, to try and fix Oz's mistakes and do better by him, surived and fought the hardest I have EVER done in my life, from Ironwood, Salem, Hazel, and anyone else who stood in my way of living my life!....And to have him call me useless after all of that just....struck a nerve in me. So I punched him. More than once. He started punching me. And before either of us know it, we ended fighting until Nora, Ren, and the others was able to break us up, ending the service altogether. (Sighs While Facepalming Himself) I know we've been through a whole lot to get to that point, some of which more life-threatening than the others, but it wasn't an excusefor either of us to act that way, especially when we were suppose to mourn for our loses. I'm really sorry, Rub-

Ruby: (Immediately Hugs Oscar Tightly) No! Emotions get the better of us at times, it happens! And that's absolutely NOTHING for you to apologize for! If anyone should be doing that other than Qrow, it's me for not helping or being there for you as much as I should be. (Starts Tearing Up a Bit) Especially when I knew for a fact that you were suffering way more than the rest of us combined. ('Sniff') You didn't deserve any of that, Oscar. Not at all!

Oscar: (Frowns Sadly at the Sound of Ruby's Soft Crying) Ruby, come on. Don't say that. You've done a lot for more than you think you did.

Ruby: ('Sniff') Yeah? Like that? Not yelling at you?

Oscar: (Gently Pulls Ruby Away From Him For a Moment) You know that's not what I mean. Remember that at we were staying at the dojo and I got so worked up over everything that's been going on with and Oz?

Ruby: Yeah. (Wipes the Tears Away) ('Sniff') You seemed so mad....and scared.

Oscar: (Simply Nodded) I was. But that pep talk you gave me about how i should keep fighting and moving forward, it inspired me a lot since: to be better, stronger, and more brave than I've ever been growing up. (Let's Out a Soft Chuckle) Heck, if anything, I highly doubt I would be standing here right now if I never took any of the advice you've given me since then, to heart. You've been an inspiration to me from the very beginning, Ruby Rose, and it makes me love you even more than I do before, believe it or not.

Ruby: (Heart Starts Melting in Happiness Again) You're real inspiration to me too, you know?

Oscar: I am? Really?

Ruby: (Giggles Softly While Hugging Oscar Again) Yes, really, you big dumb-dumb!~ You inspired me to keep going, make more better choices, be a better leader, a better person even. And be makes me so, so happy to meet abd eventually fall in love with someone as sweet, brave, and, wonderful like you in my life. I love you with every bit of fiber my heart and soul can carry, Oscar Everlynn Pine~

Oscar: (Heart Begins to Melt as Well as He Hugs His Girlfriend as Well) Likewise. And listen, please don't hold any of what happened against your uncle. What he did was completely uncalled for, but I can tell it was because of how heartbroken he was of losing his only two nieces, you and Yang.

Ruby: I'm not happy with what he did to you at all and I will DEFINITELY have a talk with him the next time we see each other again. ('Sigh') Buuuuuut I suppose I'll try not to be too mad at him IF you give lots of cuddles later on today~ (Smirks at her Farm Boi)

Oscar: (Smirks Back) Give me a Valentine's kiss and you got yourself a deal.

Ruby: (Places her Hand onto Oscar's Cheek) Done and done~

Ruby leans in to kiss Oscar until something flew over towards the white door in blazing, startling the duo into hugging one another as they turn to see a man I'm a black suit slowly sliding down off the door, groaning in immense pain.

Ruby: What in the-

????: RUBY! OSCAR!

The duo turns to see two very familiar faces making their way towards them.

Ruby: ('Gasps') Yang!~

Oscar: Emerald!

Yang: (Rushes Over to Hug Both Ruby and Oscar) You two had us so worried....Are you okay?

Ruby: Yeah, we good. (Happily Hugs her Big Sister) Even more so now that you're here!~

Oscar: How were you two able to get down here?

Emerald: We ran down the stairs. Like five to six of them in total I think? Anyways, he had to chase down the dumbass over there before he could get away. (Points the Duo Back to the Man Knocked Out)

Yang: Yeah, turns out him and his little friends upstairs were pulling the strings of this little Couple's Questionaire charade just try and throw us off courses to what their scheming. (Smiles Brightly) Luckily, everyone else are handling the rest of those punks as we speak.

Meanwhile in the Third Floor

Nora: (Glaring and Tightening Up her Mangchild Dangerously at the Rest of the Shaking Suited Men Tied Up, With Everyone Else Ominously Glaring at Them in the Background) I'm getting REAL of sick playong the silent game right now.....If you idiots don't quit your shaking, cut the bullshit, and tell us where have you sent my baby and his girlfriend RIGHT NOW, you six are going feel each and everyone of our WRATHS in the next thirty seconds!

Pyrrha: (Hovering Multiple Swords in the Air, Pointing the Blades Down at the Terrified Culprits) Start. Talking.

Back at the Bottom Floor

Emerald: It's a good thing the two us came down as quickly as we could. (Forms a Small, Playful Smirk on her Face) We can't have you two lovebirds go in and elope on us now.

Ruby: (Pouts at Emerald) Oh will you hush!? We're not dumb enough to fall for this stupid trap completely!

Yang: (Starts Smirking as Well) You sure? Cuz that picture frame we saw kind of says otherwiseeee~

Oscar: (Gives the Two Older Ladoes a Deadpinned Look on his Face) It's a photoshopped picture, Yang. (Turns Away While Rubbing The Back of his Head Back and Forth) Though, I do think that.....(Starts Blushing a Bit) Ruby does look pretty cute in that red dress. She's looks better in that frame than I do actually.

Yang: (Forms a Proud Grin) Of course!~ My baby sister can rock any dress she wears perfectly! But don't short, lil bro. (Playfully Pulls One Side of Oscar's Cheek) I think you would look pretty damn handsome in that suit~

Ruby: (Playfully Pulls on Oscar's Other Cheek) Right?~ My precious farm boi will be the most handsomest man in our very own wedding!~

Oscar: (Already Annoyed) Stooooooop......(Notices a Emerald Holding her Scroll Right I'm Front of Him and the Sisters) Really?

Emerald: Oh don't mind me. Just capturing the cuteness is all. Probably use it as blackmail or something later down the road.

Oscar: I hate all of you.

Emerald: No you don't.

Oscar: ('Sigh') I don't. I love you all a lot actually.

Emerald: Love you too, handsome.

the aftermath of that night

pairing: qrow branwen x gn!reader

summary: after a one night stand with qrow, you start to avoid him. but qrow finds you and demands to know why you're avoiding him

“where do you think you're going?”

qrow had you cornered, his hand gripping your wrist, to make sure you wouldn't run away again – just like you had the last few times the two of you crossed paths.

“i-i'm busy… can i leave?”

you looked up at qrow. you didn't struggle, nor did you raise your voice. you didn't plan on making a scene, since you knew qrow would never hurt you. but you still didn't want to be around him…

“you've been busy a lot recently. but i don't buy it.”

qrow loosened the grip on your wrist, to show good faith. but he wouldn't let you go until he got answers from you.

“i don't think you're actually busy. i think you're avoiding me. and you've been doing that ever since we hooked up!”

you looked away, but it was already too late. even when avoiding eye contact, your reaction gave you away. qrow had figured you out.

“so that's it. i knew it…”

qrow mumbled and let go of your wrist.

“was it that bad? if you didn't enjoy it, you could've said something… or was it that good~?”

qrow tried to lighten the mood a little, but it seemed not to work on you. instead of laughing, you only seemed to lower your head further and stare holes into the ground.

“so it was that bad, huh?”

“no, it was… alright”

that didn't sound very enthusiastic.

“listen sweetheart, just tell me what's up. if you don't want me around, then tell me. but don't expect me to be able to read your mind”

you sighed, slowly raising your head. your eyes met qrow's and your words got caught in your throat. you opened your mouth, struggling to tell him what's been bothering you.

“i… i enjoyed it a lot. but i was… kind of hoping for more…”

qrow smiled amused. that certainly wasn't the answer he had been expecting.

“well, if you want a round two we could always just go to your place now or–”

“not like that–!”

the mere suggestion of that made your cheeks turn red. it seems you really had to spell it out for qrow. how embarrassing…

“i was hoping we'd do more than just… you know. that maybe… this wasn't just a one time thing… and that you'd ask me on a date or something…”

you were mumbling those words to yourself, but qrow managed to pick up enough of what you were saying to understand what you meant.

“sooo you're saying… you have a crush on me~?”

qrow was acting overly flirty and cocky. but honestly, he was just overcompensating, as he tried to cover up how flustered he was getting. he was used to one night stands, but nobody had ever cared to return for a second night, let alone a date! this was a first for him…

in response to his question, you only nodded shyly. you still avoided eye contact, scared of qrow's reaction. but he gently lifted your chin with two of his fingers, to make you look up at him and see his genuine smile.

“if you wanted a date, there was no reason to be shy and avoid me. you're obviously my type and now that i know i'm yours too, i'd love to take you on a proper date!”

[nliast]

Also Cinder crackships are just really funny to me for some reason. I love Cinder x Raven, Cinder x Winter, and Cinder x Neo lol

Also Taiyang x Qrow

Duuude, I also find entertaining Cinder's ship. There is a lot of potential with the dynamic she can creates on them

Taiyang x Qrow *applauses*

[gaymakima]

Please consider: Branwen Twins as Salem's children (created from her magic/some sort of ritual involving her blood or w/e).

The funny thing is that you'd have to change very little about what we know of their backstories (at least, pre-vol 1) for this to work. Raven and Qrow raised by "murders and thieves" who were heavily implied to be at least emotionally abusive to them — swap out the bandit camp for 'Evil Castle', and add in a whole lot more crimes, and Salem fits pretty easily there. They were sent to Beacon to learn how to kill huntsmen — send them to Beacon to spy on Ozpin, and also to send as much intel as they can about Beacon's defences/etc, either way they're spying. Qrow being a Grimm Reaper fanboy — even MORE of a rebellious act. His insecurity about his semblance/himself around others? Let's make it worse.

Meanwhile RAVEN doubling down on her 'loyalty' to 'family', her life guided by the rules drilled into her head since childhood ("the weak die, the strong live") — except now the rules are from Salem, and you can bet your ass this rule would turn from "survival of the fittest" to some form of manipulation about family/blood/loyalty. And then when they go to Beacon and form STRQ, when Raven and Qrow find a family of their own and their loyalties come into question—how the hell would this Raven react? It's not like the twins are from a neutral party (bandit tribe) stepping into this war. Here, they're born into the war, and Raven doesn't have the tribe to go back to.

...okay admittedly I also really like the idea of goth villainous birb twins and corvid imagery with female villains (see: maleficent) goes so hard

[constantvariations]

The Branwen bandits make absolutely no sense and every question I ask leads to more questions

Why do Raven and Vernal have advanced weapons while nearly every other member has basic traditional armory? Do they employ a hierarchy within the group? If so, how does one rise in rank? Is the competition brutal, perhaps even lethal?

How are Hunters a significant enough threat that its namesake twins went undercover at Beacon when they clearly steamroll over every obstacle pre-V5? Has Raven's reign made them stronger than her predecessor? How? Who came before Raven and why are they no longer around?

Why would Hunters be after a group of human bandits when their purpose is to fight Grimm? Is stopping man-made tragedy a part of the job because it prevents major Grimm attacks? How far would that authority reach? Would that clash with any local police force?

On a meta level, what do the bandits bring to the narrative? It would've been interesting to see an ideological clash between individualistic "survival of the fittest" and community-oriented "strength of bonds overcome all odds," but we didn't get that. Or we could've gotten some worldbuilding due to their unique nomadic nature outside the kingdoms' safe walls

Instead, the Branwen Bandits serve only a utilitarian purpose: bring Weiss and Yang together and send them to Ruby, house Raven until the finale, and be cannon fodder in a few action scenes

Yet another good idea poorly executed

Ozqrow Week 2023 Day 2

(Still going strong for @ozqrowweek with day 2! Let's see how long this lasts!)

CW for angst, crying, brief mentions of Summer Rose

Ozqrow Week 2023 Day 2: Accidental kiss

Qrow returns to the clocktower late at night to find it an absolute mess. 

The few pieces of furniture that are in Ozpin’s office are knocked over and are dragged off to the side. Papers and books are scattered across the floor, some of those pages ripped to shreds. The alarm bells in Qrow’s head immediately begin going off.

These books are - or, were - decades worth of notes and findings on whatever information he could gather on Salem. He wouldn’t just throw it all away like it was nothing. Someone was in the clocktower.

Someone got to Oz.

 The avian man draws his weapon and slowly leaves the safety of the elevator to enter the rest of the office. He scans the perimeter, searching for any sign of life or remaining intruders. He perks up when he hears the sound of quiet sobbing coming from one of the corners. He whips around, Harbinger at the ready to strike when he sees him.

Ozpin hides behind one of the pillars closest to the window. His hands are buried deep in his disheveled silver hair. His clothes are ripped and ragged like his breathing. 

“Oz,” Qrow says.

He sheaths Harbinger and runs to him, sliding into a crouch in front of him. Ozpin doesn’t react when Qrow grabs his shoulders.

“Oz - Hey, Ozzy. Talk to me. What happened, huh? What happened? You hurt?”

Ozpin shakes his head, sobbing, “It’s all my fault, Qrow. It’s all my fault!”

“What is, Ozzy? What’s your fault?”

“All of...Of this!” he gestures out to the room, revealing his red, tear stained face, “This! You and Raven and - and - and Summer! It’s all my fault!”

Qrow leans back. The gears in his head start to turn. He takes another look around the office again. The ripped pages, the scattered books full of research, Ozpin talking about...her. Qrow sighs through his nose, releasing Ozpin from his grip.

“No, Oz. It’s not.”

Ozpin sniffs loud, “It is, Qrow. All of it is! I’ve wasted years researching and going on missions and - and sending you all on missions to find nothing! We have nothing and she-”

“Ozpin, no,” Qrow says firmly, “This isn’t all on you, okay?”

“But I-”

“No,”  Qrow scoots closer to him, his calloused hands slowly moving to Ozpin’s with a soft touch, “Sure, you asked us to help you with all this. But you gave us the choice. You didn’t say that we had to do it, right? You asked if we could. If we wanted to, and we did. We knew the risk; loud and clear and we still wanted to run into fire with you and we did.”

“Qrow, I-”

“We knew the risk,” he brings Ozpin closer until the foreheads touch, “We all knew the risk, even before Salem. I know it, Tai knows it, Summer knew it. We’d all have had to be idiots to jump in without knowing that we might not make it home or something.”

His hands move to hold Ozpin’s face, “You’ve been dealin’ with this all by yourself. Yeah, you fucked up a couple of times, but now, you’re not alone. This stuff isn’t useless. We haven’t lost yet. There’s still a chance we can find something to take her down. We still have Amber. We have Jimmy’s tech and the Nikkos girl comin’ from Argus, right? We still have a chance, so don’t give up on all this just yet.”

Ozpin stares at him with his red, puffy eyes, searching for the lie. Or maybe an answer that’s more concrete and that could end this all. When he doesn’t find one, his face twists and he buries himself in Qrow’s shoulder, heavily sobbing a chorus of ‘I’m sorry’s’ between heavy, ragged breaths.

Qrow cradles his head in one hand while the other travels up and down his back. “I gotcha, Ozzy. I gotcha.”

Qrow sits with him, the man who usually towers above him some days now the smallest he’s ever seen him, as he cries into his shoulder blade. He doesn’t say a word the entire time. He’s just there. He’s there the same way Ozpin had and has been all these years since they started walking down this path together. He holds him in silence because he knows the last thing he wants is to keep hearing Qrow rattle off all the ways this is supposed to work out somehow in the end. 

He knows that Ozpin just wants him there, so he’s going to be there for as long as it takes.

It’s only until Ozpin’s sobs dissolve into small sniffling does he look down at his companion with the beginnings of a smirk tugging at his face. “You doing okay there, Ozzy?”

Ozpin nods.

“You wanna look at me so I can make sure you’re okay?”

The silver haired man shakes his head, tightening his hold on Qrow’s jacket. 

“You sure?”

“Don’t...want you to see me like this,” Ozpin murmurs.

Qrow scoffs, “You’ve seen me in worse condition than this. I can handle whatever you’ve got for me.”

Ozpin hesitates. He slowly lifts his head to look up at Qrow. His cheeks are blotchy and red. There are noticeable tears stains streaked down his face to his chin and his hair’s a mess, which for Qrow, was just another Tuesday night for him.

“There he is,” Qrow says softly.

“I’m so sorry for this, Qrow,” Ozpin rasps, “I didn’t...I didn’t want you to see me like this.”

“So you’ve said.”

“I...I’m glad you came, however. I...I don’t think I could’ve braved this night alone.”

Qrow smiles. He leans in, brushes back Ozpin’s bangs, and pecks a kiss to his forehead. “Anytime you need me, Oz. I’ll be here.”

Qrow pulls back to Ozpin’s eyes wide as saucers staring at him. Qrow quirks a curious brow, wondering what got him so spooked until he realizes that he just kissed Ozpin.

Ozpin, his friend who is definitely not his boyfriend and has not kissed like that before - or ever. 

He feels his face burn several different shades of red. “U-Uh, that was an accident! F-Force of habit with my nieces, you know?”

“O-Of course.”

“Ye-Yeah, you get it, right?”

“One hundred percent.”

“Good.”

“Great.”

“Fantastic.”

They continue to stare at one another, their faces redder than Ruby’s cape. Qrow stands, hands awkward situated on his hips in an attempt to seem casual. “Welp! I gotta get going! Unless, you know, you...need me to stay with you and help you with somethin’?”

“Well...I could use a hand fixing this place up? Maybe you can help me piece my notes back together? Make sense of the scribbles again.”

“Uh...sure. I can - I can do that,” he replies.

“Could you...also help me stand up? My legs aren’t, uh-”

“Oh, yeah! No problem!”

Qrow reaches out a hand. Ozpin grabs him by the forearm and Qrow lifts him onto his shaky legs. Ozpin steadies himself against Qrow, which sends his heart rate skyrocketing. 

“Think you’ll be good?”

“I should be. Should we get to work?”

“Yeah, let’s.”

“Oh, and Qrow?”

“Yeah Oz?”

For the first time tonight, Ozpin smiles. He geniunely smiles. He seems so intent on putting Qrow in an early grave all by himself. “Thank you. I needed this tonight.”

Qrow smiles back at him, squeezing his hand. “Anytime, Oz. I’ll be here for you anytime.”

How about this:

Instead of Penny, there's an army of Ruby clones guarding Mantle.

Ruby paused as she caught the glint of a white cloak out of the corner of her eye. She turned towards the alley way and put her hand to the shaft of her scythe she carried on her back, fingers gently tapping her weapon. Normally this kind of paranoia would be backed by a sarcastic remark from Yang or Weiss, or even something comforting from Blake, however the empty Mantle streets and the statues of grimm put her and the rest of her friends on edge. Something didnt feel right about Atlas anymore, not that the blockade or billboards with Ironwood's face talking about curfew made her feel any more at ease. 

“Did you see something?” Jaune asked. 

“I thought so, but maybe its just my eyes playing tricks on me.” Ruby lowered her hand back to her side, eyes staying on the alleyway. “I never expected Mantle to be so… empty.” 

“That’s because its not supposed to be.” Weiss made her way to one of the sabyr statues in the road and tapped it with her rapier. “Mantle has always been busy since my grandfather started refining dust. Though, I cant imagine what would cause everyone to make these statues and then stay out of sight.” 

Yang shrugged. “Maybe its a new holiday?” 

Weiss took a step back as the sabyr statue in front of her collapsed into dust and ash, spreading across the street. “Doubtful.” 

“Then all the more reason to get to my old friend’s place,” Maria said as she hobbled past the kids. “Maybe he’ll have answers for us about what’s been going on here.” 

Ruby nodded and continued to follow Maria, still on edge as the street lights turned on one by one. Every step echoed around the quiet streets, shops and homes were all boarded up with a few people peeking out through the windows as if they were waiting.

 Then, sirens started to blare and the street lights went red. Sabyrs rushed through the streets as a few gunshots echoed in the night, the few Atlesian soldiers stationed around Mantle quickly overwhelmed by the grimm that swarmed through the streets. 

Ruby quickly grabbed her scythe from her back and readied herself along with her team. “Alright, lets take out these grimm before we continue.” 

“Got it!” Blake yelled as she rushed forward with Yang to start taking on the grimm. 

Ruby took a few steps back and started to take pot shots at the grimm as she directed Weiss where to put her glyphs. She gave a small nod to Jaune, who directed his own teammates to make sure the grimm were taken care of swiftly. Between Nora’s hammer, Ren’s speed, and Oscar holding the line, the grimm were taken care of quickly. The kids relaxed for a moment until another wave of grimm came barreling down the street. 

A few soft giggles started to fill the streets along with white petals as a few figures dashed through the streets and sliced through the grimm. One stopped and stared at a particularly large grimm and a bright, silver light washed over the streets, freezing the grimm in its tracks and destroying the smaller ones. 

Ruby and her team pulled back as they watched seven of the white cloaked figures finish taking on the grimm and the grimm lights finally turned off. Silence fell over the group as the figures turned around to look at them, each one with a familiar face and eyes. 

“Why do they look like you, Ruby?” Weiss asked.

“I… I dont know…” Ruby sheathed her weapon and took a breath to calm herself. “Who are you?” 

The white-cloaked Rubys turned to her and looked at her curiously. One of them finally spoke to her, the voice still sounding more like hers. “What are you doing here? You should be patrolling Mantle like us.” 

Qrow paused as the wind started to shift around them. “I dont like what’s going on. James is going to have a lot to explain.” 

A few scrolls started to ding with notifications and one of the Rubys looked at hers. A smirk crossed her face as she grabbed her white scythe and disappeared in a flurry of petals. One by one, each Ruby did the same as the petals started to swirl around the real Ruby and her friends. The storm of petals started to grow larger and larger until it suddenly dropped with each Ruby appearing in a cloud of petals and slamming their scythe’s into the huntsmen in training. 

Ruby watched as her team quickly became overwhelmed by the onslaught of white-clad Rubys, her teammates quickly getting cuffed and knocked out. Soon, it was her turn to be slammed to the ground and cuffed, one of the Rubys standing over her with a grin as she pressed a foot to her back. 

“Dont worry, we’ll take you back to Atlas and make sure you’re protecting Mantle just like the rest of us. The general will take care of the rest of those criminals and the Ace-ops will make sure Miss Schnee makes it back to her family.” 

Ruby had wanted to argue, but quickly found a boot slamming into her face, her vision darkening as she heard an airship make its way over and the sound of the other Rubys giggling as they rushed off.

Okay okay okay consider

Ozpin getting dragged out of Beacon for once bc glynda got sick and tired of him being cooped up in his tower

Ozpin and qrow going on a few short Huntsman missions together, one of them involving an unknown Grimm terrorizing a village

Ozpin n qrow going off to fight the Grimm- however the Grimm is... weirdly intelligent and separates them

Ozpin finding out the Grimm is more or less telepathic and reflects all of your worst fears, insecurities, memories, etc and is thus naturally pretty intelligent- but this one is very old, and is practically sentient at this point

Ozpin being tormented by this Grimm, having everyone he knows or knew used against him, including past lives, having himself taunt him, calling him a liar, a coward, someone who uses others for his own benefit, etc

Ozpin being tormented because this Grimm KNOWS his worst thoughts, whether fleeting or part of trauma. The Grimm knowing how many times he's killed himself, how much he has bottled up (rage, self hate, etc), what Oz has done and has wanted to do even if it was just a brief thought. The Grimm ripping into him, using every word of Ozpins against him

The Grimm literally using Ozpins own signature fighting style to fight Ozpin, beating him down with the fake version of Long Memory (like v9 ch8 but with Oz)

Ozpin being unable to fight back, not because the Grimm is too powerful (though it is strong), but because Ozpin agrees with the Grimm, that he's an awful person and deserves pain

Qrow coming in at the last second before the Grimm kills Ozpin, killing the Grimm and saving Oz

Ozpin repressing everything until after he gets medical treatment, after he gets home, when he's alone, and finally breaking down, completely alone, isolating himself

Adding onto that Qrow thing with that animatic they put out.. Why is it now that anytime he loses something he just decides to be more optimistic? Sense when was he ever like that? Ajdkskkflskdlskd

I'd say "take a shot for every time a character does the exact opposite of what their actual characterization suggests," but then we'd all be dead on the floor, much like Qrow if he saw where his "arc" was heading back in V4

Mini Fanfic #1184: Sunset Watching with Big Sis Yang (RWBY)

5:34 p.m. The Xiaolong's Residence's Rooftop........

Oscar: (Sighs In Relief While Sitting Next to Yang on the Rooftop of her abd Ruby's House) ISo glad to finally be back home......

Yang: (Turns to Oscar with a Cheeky Grin on her Face) Getting tired of the marriage lifestyle already there, champ?~

Oscar: Yeah. Not the most insane fiasco I got dragged into, but it's up there with the others, that's for sure. (Starts Snickering a Bit) I almost felt bad for the crooks who ran the whole scheme in the first place.

Yang: (Chuckles Lightly) Don't remind me~ Our friends scarred those jerks for life back there!~

Oscar: (Casually Shrugs) Can't say I'm too surprised really. The protectiveness from each and everyone of you guys have been showing no signs of bounds these days.

Yang: (Happily Pulls Oscar into a One Armed Hug) Well, no duh!~ You know we got your kiddos back no matter what.

Oscar: (Chuckles Lightly) I know. We got yours too. Always. (Looks Back at the Sunset) Thanks again for bringing me up here with you, Yang. I keep forgetting how pretty and peaceful the sunset looks at times.

Yang: (Forms a Teasing Smirk) Like your future wifey?~

Oscar: (Rolls his Eyes) Getting really obnoxious today, aren't we?

Yang: I'm a Big Sis, Oscar. It's what I do. (Smiles Softly) But seriously though, you don't need to thank me at all. (Look At the Sunset Herself) Rubes and I used to watch the sunset together all the time growing up. But now that we're older and she's more busy being Ruby, I'm in need of a new Sunset Buddy as of late. (Turns Back to Oscar) You're cute and just as much of a smartass as she is, so I say you fit the bill perfectly!~ (Happily Gives Oscar a Thumbs Up)

Oscar: (Rolls his Eyes Again) Gee. I'm so honored.

Yang: And now sarcasm. I'm starting to actually believe Nora for once.

Oscar: Believe her on what exactly?

Yang: That Ruby's been a bad influence on you.

Oscar: Oh and like you guys are any better in the equation.

Yang: (Immediately Pouts at Oscar) Hey, say what you will about everyone else, I have been wonderful influence all around!

Oscar: I say otherwise. Remember all those pranks you had me pull with you last year?

Yang: You volunteered to help me!

Oscar: Yeah. By suckering me in with those Puppy Dog Eyes of yours.

Yang: You LOVED those Puppy Dog Eyes! Don't even try to deny it either, mister! ('Sighs Heavily') Anyways......(Went Back to Smiling Again) I'm really happy to have you out here watching it with me. Especially when I can tell that something been bothering you when we started heading back home.

Oscar: (Turns to Yang with a Bit of an Uneasy Frown) It was really that noticeable, huh?

Yang: Yeah, but that's mostly cause of my sisterly instinct managed to quickly notice that right away.

Oscar: Huh. Neat. ('Sigh') But yeah.....I'd be lying if I say nothing been troubling me since then......

Yang: (Starts Frowning) It's about Qrow, isn't it?

Oscar: (Simply Nodded) I take it Ruby already filled you in on everything?

Yang: Her and Emerald, yeah. She wasn't happy about any of that at all by the way.

Oscar: And how do you feel right now?

Yang: (Eyes Turn Red) Pissed. (Ball her Fist Up a Bit in Anger) Like I'm having a strong urge to the punch him straight to his face the next time i see him. But I'm more worried about you of anything. Hell, to tell you truth, I've always been worried about you.

Oscar: You have?

Yang: Of course. How couldn't I? You mean the world to us, Oscar, truly. (Let's Out a Sigh Before Looking Down with Sadness Now in her Eyes) I'm so sorry....

Oscar: (Genuinely A Bit Confused) What for? It's not like you're the one who punched me or called me "A Worthless Meat Shield" in front of everyone in the room.

Yang: No. But we sure as hell, aren't any better? We yelled and lash out at you, hardly ever helped console you when you were stressing yourself out about the Merge you and Oz were supposed to have, we made you feel like an outcast of the group, for God sake, we never even bothered to get on Ironwood for not inviting you to that stupid celebration party he threw for us back at Atlas!!

Oscar: Okay, I'll admit that the Atlas one gotten to me a bit more thab i hoped it wouldn't. (Frowns at Yang) But you really don't have be hard on yourself about this, Ya-

Yang: (Immediately Places her Hand on Top of Oscar's as He Looks at Him Directly Towards his Eyes) Yes, Oscar, I do. I know that you see the best in us and I am so happy that you do, but please. You can't keep making excuses for us on this any longer! Not amyore.....('Sigh') Look, either way you look at it, we......were terrible friends to you. You were practically dragged into this whole Ozpin and Salem ficaso with little to NO choice or say in the matter and yet here we were, not doing anything to help! You deserved a whole better than all the crap you had to endure in the past. ('Sniff') And.....it's all the more reason why I and.....everyone else in group, are so......so sorry, Oscar........

Oscar stares into the pain, tearful look into Yang's face for a few seconds before finally speaking.

Oscar: Hey, Yang, can I say a few things?

Yang: Yeah...(Uses her Arm to Wipe the Tears Away as Best as She Could) ('Sniff') Go right ahead, kiddo. ('Sniff')....I can take it......

Oscar: (Takes a Deep Breath) Okay, look, I don't blame any of you guys for the way you acted in the past nor do I ever think you're terrible for doing so. It was stressful, traumatic journey for each of us to get through, so it makes all the more sense as to why we let our emotions get the better of us on a few occasions. And I know! You said not to make any more excuses for you guys, but I meant every word I said and I'm sticking to it. (Looks Up at the Sunset Before Letting Out Another Sigh) But....you are right about one thing: I did felt like an outcast sometimes. Like, I was never worthy of being part of the team to begin with. I even felt like my existence and....purpose of life was just that: Being another substitute body for Oz to use until I get disposed of. They're terrible feelings to have all around.......

Oscar looks down at both of his hands before gently balling them up into fists, taking another deep breath.

Oscar: But eventually, I realized that my life has a lot more valuable and purpose than I thought, as my own person. So whenever I do feel like being stuck in the corner, I calm myself, recollect my thoughts, get myself back up, and keep doing the best I can to contribute and keep fighting to see another, in my own ordinary way. And really, I don't think I would be sitting here right now, if it weren't for any of you guys being there for me when i needed it and giving me all the confidence I need to become a better version of myself. Hell, you even went out of your way to save me from Salem once and that is something I will NEVER forget that as long as I still live and breathe. So yeah, we may not always see eye-to-eye sometimes, we may even get mad at each other and say or do things neither of us really meant to do, but all of that alone won't ever stop me from loving you guys to pieces. Because you're more than just my friends and comrades.....(Turns Back to Yang With Most Sincerest Smile He Has Ever Mustered) You're my family and I would never trade you in for any-THING!?

Before he could finslly finish his sentence, Yang immediately pulls Oscar into tight, but very loving hug.

Yang: Thank you....('Sniff') Thank you so much, Oscar. I promise, from this day forward, we are going keep doing better, make you feel more loved and appreciated. ('Sniff') So don't you dare give up on us just yet! You hear me?

Oscar: (Chuckles Lightly) Never planning on it. (Happily Hugs Yang Back) Thank you for listening......Hm.

Yang: What's wrong now?

Oscar: Nothing. Just....realizing how right Ruby was is all. (Snuggles a Bit Onto Yang's Embrace) You really do give out the best hugs~

Yang: (Giggles Softly) You goddamn right I do!~ What kind of big sister I'd be if I didn't?~

Oscar: A boring one maybe? Which you clearly are not by the way.

Yang: (Smiles Brightly) Exactly! Which is why, starting first thing tomorrow morning, you and I are gonna be spending the whole day together. Better not have any other plans by then~

Oscar: (Rolls his Eyes) Relax. I'll be free tomorrow. But what makes you wanna do it in that in the first place? You know, beside having our talk just now.

Yang: It's been a long while since we got the proper chance to hangout together, so intend to fix that from here on out, future brother-in-law~ (Playfully Winks at the Farm Boi)

Oscar: ('Sighs in Annoyance') You're never gonna let me live this down, aren't you?

Yang: As I live in breathe~ We're a family remember?

Oscar: (Smiles Softly) Yes. Yes we are. I love you, Yang.

Yang: (Heart Begins to Melt in Genuine Happiness) I love you too, Kid. (Kiss the Top of Oscar's Head) Thank you so much for being a part of our lives~

Oscar: Thanks for being part of mines. You changed my life for the better.

Yang: Ditto.

Type: Ask

Summary of the Question: How would Qrow and Hippolyta react if the other met their end before they can make up? How much regret will they feel?

Qrow Branwen

For Qrow. I believe he would be in shock at hearing the death of his ex-girlfriend who despite their bitter failing still love and cherish her and would forever be in pain.

Hippolyta Nikos

For Hippolyta. I would say she would try to brush off his death by feigning indifference and coolness. And once she alone began breaking down into tears of pain and remorse of losing the love of her life again.
