#rwby fics

[scham-wcan]

Heya! I’m Scham (He/They) and this is the new blog pinned.

I post a lot of RWBY content, mostly around CinWin and WhiteRose cause they’re my garls. Also getting into Tyzula from Avatar as of late. My ask box is always open for anything also.

I write exclusively over on AO3 and have everything from one shots to short stories to a long form fic there which has been going on for 4 years now.

For Fic requests and commissions I have both a BuyMeACoffee and a Kofi now!

I also run the Cinder Fall Simps Discord where we have a fun and active community. If you’re interested we’d love you to stop by.

[incorrect-correct-nora]

how has one episode... AND A BONUS AT THAT... inspired not one, not two, not three, BUT FOUR WIPS IN LESS THAN 4 HOURS...

[walpywalpy]

Something I notice when I read some WhiteRose fics is that whenever there’s a scene where Ruby ends up hospitalized, it’s always Yang who worries and visits. Weiss, not so much. Is this a consistent thing or is it just within the fics I’ve read?

[lacependragon]

It's not secret that I've been working on building up a handful of new RWBY fics. Nor has it been a secret what they're about. But I thought it'd be fun to revel in the excitement a bit and gather up all the information to let you vote on what you're most excited for too!

This probably won't have any impact on what order I write things. But don't you wanna share excitement? So vote, ask a question, drop a message! But first, make sure you read all the information about each fic!

If you aren't interested, then please just don't vote. Thank you.

Summary:

At fifteen, Ruby Rose is supposed to be two years away from Beacon Academy. But after ditching school in the middle of the day and fighting robbers (and putting three people in the hospital), Ruby finds themself expelled from Signal and on the way to Beacon, on the fast track to becoming a hunter. Leading a team which includes their sister, Yang, and new partners Weiss and Blake, Ruby seeks to have the best years at Beacon possible. But the world has other plans in store. Salem watches from a distance and builds her tools, seeking the relics and the maidens for her own ends. As she looms closer, Ruby and friends are swept into the mysterious and apocalyptic underworld of Remnant, where every battle is a tally in the war against Salem and every failure could lead to death. The war will be long. The losses will be high. But roses are resilient; their thorns can draw blood at the most unsuspecting of times. And Ruby Rose will not let the world fall without the fight of their life.

Summary:

To be a master alchemist, you must change lives. Several hundred years after an environmental apocalypse, the world of Remnant rebuilds. Ruby Rose, recent graduate of Vale’s alchemy college, is moving to the village of Patch with the rest of their family after Yang gets a job with the local rangers. There, Ruby wants to open an alchemy shop and work on their thesis in hopes of becoming a master alchemist. Ruby and Yang aren’t the only ones dealing with new phases in their lives. Their uncle struggles to find his footing and makes an enemy of the local engineer on day one. A broken soldier finds her way to the edges of the local forest. Mayor Ghira and his family help the recently widowed Willow and her children adjust to freedom after months indoors and years of abuse. And along the edges of their territory, ancient ruins and creeping monsters await the rangers who seek to expand Patch. For even in times of peace, danger lurks. Life is always changing in Patch. Perhaps amidst this town and its people, Ruby can find the inspiration for their thesis, and everyone can find a place to call home.

Summary:

In Remnant, when a witch comes of age at 15, they enroll in a six year witch school to learn the depths and wonders of magic. Ruby Rose is 13 when their magic matures and they receive a letter from Beacon Academy of Witchcraft. There’s no hope of hiding the early magic, but maybe they, their older sister, Yang, and their guardian, Little, can keep the rest of Ruby’s secrets hidden. Like their unnatural silver eyes, locked behind a glamour to look a plain grey. Or their natural intuition to magic, which is harder to hide. Yet, at Beacon, Ruby’s focus doesn’t stay on their own problems for long. Instead, Ruby finds themself following after Weiss Schnee, a fellow sproutling that Ruby suspects is in danger. When they discover how much danger Weiss is in, they vow to find a way to help her, no matter what. As Ruby, Yang, and their new friends slip deeper into the darkness of Remnant’s hex-filled underworld, they’ll learn that Weiss isn’t the only one in danger. Men, monsters, and malignant magic vie to see who can destroy the world first, but only if Ruby and their friends can’t find a way to stop them.

How about some Frosensteel for those shipping asks? kiss 30?

30. As comfort.

It becomes habitual, after Penny's soul is transferred to a new body. Weiss has always loved touches and hugs, so kisses are a natural outcropping, especially when she's sad or upset. And Ruby needs kisses, needs someone to anchor her and remind her it's okay to feel. So she kisses, and she senses, and she reminds them both that she loves them. When they wake up from nightmares, ghosts of all they've been through, she reminds them that she is here.

Sometimes, she wishes that she'd had time to find out what kissing felt like, when she was still waiting within Winter, when she had a human body for those few moments. But there hadn't been time, and so this is what she has.

It doesn't matter, though. Because when she kisses them, when they kiss her, to remind each other that they're all here and it's all over and they're going to live a long life learning how to be people and Huntresses without death and pain dogging them at every step......

She still feels warm inside.

You recommending My Own Worst Enemy was how I got into that series, and I loved it to pieces, so thanks for that. With the sequel having just wrapped up, I'm curious if you're caught up on that fic. (Also, I hope the family emergency cools down soon!)

IT’S FINISHED?

Normally I’d ask, “How the hell did I miss that?” but… [gestures at the last four months]

Thanks for letting me know! It’s awesome to hear that I was able to get someone else hooked. xD ElektricAngel deserves all the love and praise for her work. Y’all make sure you go and tell her what an amazing writer she is!

"So rather than try, she throws out her hands with a growl, grabs him by the lapels of his stupid coat. Lets the conversation crash to a halt as she pulls him into her space and…"

Hey... go read Reciprocity by @sigruned if you haven't already. It's phenomenal. bonus sketches under the cut

I sketched this in procreate initially cause I didn't think I would colour it. Ended up bringing it into sai and lost a bit of the emotion from the original sketch by having to redraw it, but oh well. 😔 Also a zoom in on the doodles in the corner inspired by another part of the fic's most recent chapter:

I support Ruby shaking Oscar (and/or Oz) like a pringles can whenever they're being cagey little jerks.

"We just got her to stop crying..."

Spiritual follow up to this drabble, based on this text post.

Any semi-shitpost comics like this are schrodinger's canon, meaning there are some canon-to-fic elements, and some not, though all is subject to change!

*Do Not Repost without Credit and Permission! Thank You!*

Finished up this cover art piece for my upcoming Bees Band AU fic - When the Stars Sing for Us! Super happy with how this came out, definitely one of my biggest digital pieces I'd say!

Writing is underway - I'm going to try and knock out the first three chapters before I upload anything, so you lovely folks can really sink your teeth in! As for when I'll be uploading those first three chapters... I unfortunately don't have an answer for you just yet. But! Hopefully pretty soon. Until then, enjoy this to tide you over!

• you got her her favorite tea? she's incredibly grateful. she tries to express this by thanking you or returning the favor by gifting you your favorite tea.

• the two of you are dog moms.

• she cries easily at movies, especially if they're about animals. she'll cry during the sad parts even if she knows the film will have a happy ending.

• whenever she's angry, the moment her eyes land on you, she becomes visibly calmer.

• your presence and touch alone are enough to calm her down.

• team rwby notices this behavior change and tends to tease her about it. she ends up snapping at them but gives you a soft smile that only you can see.

• weiss knows how whipped she is for you. <33
