Lancaster week 2022

From  September 17, 2022, through September 23, 2022.

The rules. Alright, I want to make sure that they are clear. This is a fan week is for Lancaster (Ruby Rose & Jaune Arc). Which takes place in September. If you have early submissions, you can submit them to the blog, and they will be in the queue until September. I will not be accepting any submissions that are not Lancaster. No ploy ship fics or art will be accepted. If they aren’t the main focus, I know it sounds odd? But trust me, I got a few direct submissions last year that were not Lancaster at all, and I have to be thorough and transparent.

 Any and all submissions are accepted as long as those Jaune and ruby are the main characters. That includes fanfiction, fanart, fan comics, podfics, and more. If it’s those two, I want to see what you can come up with. Finally, try to follow the days prompt; there is some wiggle room for the submission. This is about celebrating this ship! Having fun and really reminding ourselves why we like these two dorks together! Remember to use the tag #Lancasterweek and add in @lancasterweek so I can reblog your work. You know Tumblr, the website is held together with glue sticks and bubblegum. So try to spread this post and make sure that all the shipper finds out and want to join. Remember the latest submission allowed is until October 8th.

the ao3 collection for lancaster week !

the fanfiction under the community marked lancaster week  run by the knight of lancaster 

This year because of everything that happened to me personally and as well to hopefully get more submissions than last year? I made a prompt list with alternative prompts; if you don’t like the initial one, you don’t have to do both. It’s an alternative options if you don’t like them.

Day 1.   Distance/ College AU: with distance, it’s either emotional, physical, or anything, everything in between the two. College is exactly how it sounds and how you write or draw this up to you.

Day 2.   Illusions/ Crossover Au: when I say illusion, I mean whether it’s a mirage, a place where you see illusions of things that aren’t real. A crossover with your favorite fandom outside RWBY.

Day 3.   Memories/ Telepathy AU: whether it’s memories of better times or reflecting on the past bittersweetly. Or thinking back on the memories of the past and realizing you could have done better or been better. Telepathy AU is almost self-explanatory 1; of the characters, maybe Ruby, maybe Jaune, has telepathy, and now I have to deal with it.

Day 4.   Mystery/ Deserted Island AU: mystery, whether it’s something they need to solve at each other, or anything you can come up with, I’m not gonna try to box in your creative. With royalty AU again, go ham. The Sky is the limit; just make sure that it’s about Lancaster. Considering where volume 9 is taking place on a strange island slash dimension ?

Day 5.   Secrets/ Switched Au: whether secrets from one another or secrets from the world. Switched au is that everything is mostly the same except everyone, but Weiss is now a Faunus of some kind.

Day 6.   Strength/ Blind Date AU: whether in the strength of character, the strength of minder, strength of will or strength of heart, or physical strength, we want to be technical. Blind AU sounds as easy as it stated because it is someone sets one of the two dorks up on a blind date, hilarity can ensue, sweetness can ensue; it is up to you

Day 7.   Truth/ Body Swap AU: the truth about a big secret truth about themselves or just a truth that they feel is true about themselves. Sky’s the limit on what you wanna do. Body swap au is as obvious as it sounds; what you do with that is up to you!

[epic-arc]

Lancaster post vol 9: After having both ascended Jaune and Ruby can both agree on one thing for sure; they hate the taste of sap that has lingered for weeks in their mouths.

Team RWBY and Jaune would have come back from ever after and jaune and ruby ​​were eating but jaune would have a disgusted expression on her face and ruby ​​would look at him a bit confused and poke his shoulder.

Ruby: Hey are you okay? you didn't eat any of the pancakes ren made.

Jaune: It's not okay and it's been a week but I still have that taste of sap in my mouth..

Ruby would hear that and she would laugh and jaune would look at him with a rather dumb expression and then he would flick her head.

Ruby: Hey! I'm not laughing at you I understand what you're feeling I had that taste in my mouth but after brushing my mouth a lot the taste disappeared.

Jaune: Ohh i got it thanks for the help ruby ​​i'll do that now!

Ruby would give Jaune a thumbs up but then he would kiss Ruby on the forehead making her blush and he would go to the bathroom until the wall of the room they were in is broken and Nora comes out of it with a big smile on her face.

Nora: I SMELL PANCAKES!

Lancaster Week Day 4: Forced Day Off

Her head was pecked relentlessly by a Nevermore, one larger than normal Beringel battered away at her torso while an Ursa mauled with fervor on her legs. Truly...this was the end for Ruby Rose...

Or so it felt like it as she lay bed ridden at home with an eight month along pregnant belly. That alone wasn't so bad but with it compounded by a high fever, Ruby really could feel the sense of death itself setting in.

Ruby: Guuuuuh, if I wasn't so happy that you're due in a month I'd be cursing the world right about now...

The sound of the bedroom door opening for her blonde husband with a plate of scrambled eggs and toast snatched her right out of her rambling stupor.

Jaune: Nothing like breakfast in bed to get rid of these sickness woes though.

Ruby: *sighs* I suppose you're right, I feel weird not...y'know?

Jaune: Killing Grimm, saving people, stopping gangs and/or bandits on the daily?

The crimson reaper slumped further on their bed grumpily gnawing on her folded makeshift egg sandwich. Jaune knew his wife when it came to this, even with Salem gone there was still trouble brewing on all corners of Remnant. Ruby just had to be there, protect the world she saved and yet...

Ruby: is Garnet okay, down for his nap?

Jaune: Out like a light on the couch with Yang and Lea!

Ruby: Heh, good! Hopefully when Blossom's born she won't be too much for them... *groans*

Jaune: I know Crater Face, you want to go out there and make sure the world is a safe place for everyone and especially our kids. But-

Ruby: Even heroes need rest I know, I've heard it more times than I could count. I just...every time I look at them so many what-ifs go through my head. What if I don't come back from a mission, what if I pick the worst time to relax and they need my help, what-

A hand gently brushed her unruly bedhead away for his lips to find themselves on her clammy forehead, now both were connecting as the knight's sapphire orbs met silver ones.

Jaune: You're not the only hero that has to do this anymore Rubes. You have me, Yang, Weiss, Blake, everyone to fill in for you when you're unavailable.

Ruby: B-but-!

Jaune: You're not alone in this anymore Ruby, if you get to bear the weight of the world then so do we.

Ruby: ....ugh I hate it when you do that! >///<

Jaune: What, care about your entire being with all my heart?

Ruby: I mean guilt trip me with love dummy!!!

Jaune: I don't know what you mean! *winks*

Ruby: *giggles* I love you Vomit Boy.

Jaune: Right back at ya' dork.

Lancaster Week Day 1: Red Riding Hood and the Beowolf

The Black Forest was home to the foullest creatures known to man; the Beowolves. Armed with sharp teeth and fangs, they viciously slaughtered unfortunate travellers who tread their path. The village of Patch was in a state of panic. Everyone boarded up their doors, hung crucifixes and sprayed holy water on their doors, in the hopes of protecting themselves from the beasts.

One woman, didn’t believe that such measures were enough. Ruby Rose decided to take proper action, and slay the Beowolves. Armed with her father’s axe, she set out into the Black Forest. Snow began to fall, covering her long, hooded red cloak and her hands started to sting from the cold. Suddenly, she heard snarling and rustling from the trees. Ruby drew the axe and scanned the area, eyes all around the forests. In a split second, she heard a growl and from above the branches dropped a Beowolf! It’s fur was black as coal, eyes red like blood and armed with sharp fangs and claws. Ruby’s eyes widened but she stood her ground. She grit her teeth and charged with full force!

The blade of the axe clashed against the claws of the beast! Ruby raised it above, but the Beowulf caught it in its hands. Ruby was in disbelief. She tried to wrestle it from its hands, but the beast kept a tight grip. With no other choice left, Ruby turned her waist and used every ounce of her strength to throw the Beowolf off her axe.

The monster collided with the nearest tree and yelped in pain. Ruby smiled, but her victory was short lived as the Beowolf got up and began to run towards her. Ruby countered with the blunt of her axe, hitting its jaw with lightning speed! The Beowolf hit the ground in an instant. Ruby approached it and raised her axe to deliver the finishing blow. However, the monster grabbed her by the ankle and dragged her to the floor! She screamed in pain and terror as the beast turned to face her, claws raised up to tear her throat out. But something was wrong. Ruby looked at the Beowolf and nocticed that it stopped midway. She took off her hood, exposing her beautiful crimson hair and silver eyes. She stared at the creature and it began to started twitching. It fell to the floor and screamed in agony. Ruby backed away, unsure of what to do.

The beast’s cries became even more painful, as the Huntress shut her eyes and covered her ears. Even though she knew of the horrors it caused, Ruby couldn’t watch it suffer. The black fur began to shed, revealing white skin. Its eyes changed from red to blue and it’s body began to shift and contort. Its fangs and claws began to retract and the howls began to turn into the cries of a man. Ruby opened her eyes to see that the Beowolf has gone. In front of her was scraggly, blond haired and blue eyed, naked man. Blushing furiously, Ruby took off her cloak and covered him. The blond man stared at her in shock.

“Y-You saved me.” He rasped.

“U-um, what?” Ruby asked, confused.

The man see closer to her, startling Ruby. She quickly backed into a tree and stared at his deep blue eyes. She couldn’t see the eyes of a beast, but a tortured soul.

“Your silver eyes saved me.” He said.

“My silver eyes?”

“Yes.” He nodded his head. “A long time ago, my family were cursed by witches. My father had offended them by marrying their daughter and every night on the full moon, we would turn into Beowolves.”

Ruby’s mouth gained wide open. A part of her didn’t want to believe him, but she just witnessed a monster turn into a man. The least she could do was hear him out.

“My father confronted the witches and begged them to lift the curse. They said the only cure was a girl with Silver Eyes,” He sighed. “For years, we approached all kinds of travellers, hoping they would be the key to our salvation. But it proved futile. They would either run, or they’d attack us.”

“What happened to all those that died?” Ruby asked fearfully.

“We didn’t kill them, if that’s what you think. The Forest is dangerous and teamed with all kinds of wild animals and if they don’t kill them, the harsh snow will.

“Why should I believe you?!” Ruby shouted “How do I know this isn’t some trick?!”

The man glared her with a scowl, and gently grabbed her hand. Ruby tried to recoil, but found it placed on his chest. She could feel calm his heartbeat was.

“I did not kill anyone.” He whispered. His heartbeat didn’t change one bit, he was telling the truth. Ruby felt more at ease, if a bit flustered that her hands were on the chest of a man. A blush creeped across her face.

“Ok.” She said. “I believe you.”

The man smiled. “Thank you. I’m Jaune, of the Arc Clan.”

“I’m Ruby. Ruby Rose.” She couldn’t help but smile back. It was strange, but Jaune was not the monster her village made him out to be. He was a broken man who needed help. They were both locked into each other’s eyes and in a moment of weakness, they leaned into each other, touching their lips with a passionate kiss.

2021 Lancaster Week Day 3: Text Chain

After a long day of huntress work, and a shower, Ruby lays prone on her bed trying to unwind and relax. Her hair was still slightly damp but it was nothing traditional air drying could fix. Also Yang held the hair dryer at the time, no one was getting that away from her.

With nothing else to do, Ruby takes out her new scroll, the one provided by General Ironwood, and scrolls through her transferred contacts. While she was happy with this new scroll, she was disappointed that her messages and chats from the previous device were unable to transfer. Nearly two years worth of memories were no longer there and this made Ruby feel slightly bummed out.

While scrolling through her contacts, she notices something that caught her eye. Upon looking carefully at Jaune’s contact icon, gone was Jaune’s old Beacon face, replaced with his Huntsman license picture with current Atlas hairstyle. She did her best to stifle herself from laughing.

Smiling, she taps on Jaune’s contact and opens a chat with her fellow leader and friend.

Ruby: Hey Jaune.

“New scroll, new memories,” Ruby chants to herself. She shifts on her bed, not sure when Jaune would reply to her message. May take a–

Vomit Boy: Hey.

–or he could respond instantly. This works as well.

Ruby: Like your new profile pic! 

Ruby: It looks professional. ^_^

Ruby waits for his reply, hoping Jaune was in the mood to talk.

Vomit Boy: Thanks! I’m still processing that we’re technically Huntsmen now. 

Ruby: I know, right?

Ruby: It’s so cool!

Vomit Boy: What are you girls up to rn?

Ruby: We got back from a mission, so we’re all pretty tired. 

Ruby: You?

Vomit Boy: I’m beat, so are Ren and Oscar. Nora is …well, Nora. 

Ruby: lol 

Vomit Boy: But we’re good.

Ruby: Nice!

Ruby is glad to hear that Jaune, Ren, Nora and Oscar are settling in nicely. After traveling two continents together, she had established an attachment with everyone on Jaune’s team, so to hear that they were doing well made her happy.

Ruby: Hope you aren’t mad about us leaving you to babysit all those kids. 

Vomit Boy: Ha. You don’t say? 

Vomit Boy: It’s alright though, I don’t think any of you minus Ren and your sis knows anything about kids.

Ruby: Hey Weiss has a younger sibling!

Vomit Boy: Isn’t he the reason she’s not an heiress anymore?

Ruby: …

Ruby: Fair.

Vomit Boy: Anyway, I took some pictures during the first day of the job. Wanna see? 

Ruby: Sure!

Ruby happily kicks her legs back and forth, she’s gonna have some new photos in her gallery, new memories!

Vomit Boy: *shows the front of a elementary school, called “Mantle Elementary”*

Vomit Boy: Here’s the school!

Ruby: I see! Cool!

Ruby knew it wasn’t all that amazing, but it was Jaune’s first day as a huntsman so she wants to support him. He deserves that and more.

Vomit Boy: *shows a group of children waving at the camera*

Vomit Boy: Here are the kids who I was escorting.

Ruby: Aw! ^v^

‘So these were the kids that Jaune looked after as a traffic guard, they look like a good group of kids. Hopefully they didn’t give him too much trouble,’ Ruby ponders while looking at Jaune’s proud face.

Vomit Boy: *A selfie of Jaune… shirtless, fresh from the shower*

Ruby’s face flushes at the sight, nearly dropping her scroll from her hands.

Vomit Boy: CRAP! 

Vomit Boy: I didn’t mean to send that!

Vomit Boy: Ignore that picture! DX

That was something Ruby could not do, her eyes were glued to screen as she observes the results of Jaune’s countless night training sessions. 

Ruby was no stranger to seeing muscular guys, there were many shirtless men during the first night she spent at Beacon. Seeing her friend shirtless, his chest bare and his abdomen exposed on her scroll screen, it made her cheeks glow as bright as her namesake.

Especially since she was starting to become aware of her budding attraction towards her fellow leader.

Her fingers twitch and hover over her scroll’s key pad, not sure how to reply to this little accident.

~ ~ ~

‘Crap! Crap! Crap! Why didn’t you delete that photo earlier,’ Jaune thought, chiding himself in his head.

He truly didn’t mean to send that embarrassing photo, he misclicked and absentmindedly sent his shirtless frame before he realized his mistake. 

How could he fix this? Ruby is an understanding person so she possibly may just brush it off as a simple accident. But the next time they meet will no doubt be awkward. 

As he was cursing himself his scroll pings, signifying that Ruby finally responded to his message.

His eyes shift down to look at his chat on this screen.

Crater-Face: You’re ok.

Jaune lets out a sigh of relief, nothing was awkward, at least he still hopes that is the case. Either way, it’s one disaster that was avoided.

He didn’t know what he would do if his long time friend, one that he admires and holds in high regard, found him to be weird, sending mixed signals.

He’s about to type a message of thanks when he sees that Ruby was still typing something.

‘Was there something else she wanted to say?’ Jaune asks himself. He shakes his head dismissively.

‘She probably just wants to make a joke about the picture, like how my hair looks like bananas or something,’ He concludes as he waits for his fellow leader’s reply.

He soon eats his own words quickly, for just as he receives her message though, his jaw dropped.

Crater-Face: *picture of Ruby in her pajamas in her dorm’s bathroom, her hair still damp and shining in the light. She even makes a, shockingly, less than adorable pouting face while her silver eyes star at the camera*

Crater-Face: You should be careful who you send those kinds of pictures to, mister VB. I’m all flustered now. >3<

Jaune was at a loss for words. Had Ruby– was she flirting with him!?

Crater-Face: Well? 

Crater-Face: How do I look? 

Jaune pauses then pinches himself to make certain that he was not hallucinating– “Ah!” –Nope, he was awake. 

This was real. This was his long time friend and newly found crush texting him a selfie and asking for validation. 

His validation.

Jaune’s fingers tremble over his scroll’s keypad.

~ ~ ~

Ruby sits down on the counter awaiting Jaune’s reply, nervously twiddling her finger. She really hoped that she wasn’t too forward, it took a lot of tries and effort on her part to get it just right. Nervously angling and posing for the picture she just sent, and even still that was the fourth one she had managed to take.

She feels her scroll ping, he replied. Taking a deep breath and exhaling, she looks down to see what he said.

Vomit Boy: You look amazing. <3

Ruby lets out a shaky laugh, next thing she knows her face is flushed again. Only this time, it’s accompanied with giggles of elation.

In the next room over, Jaune was having a similar reaction. Smiling ear to ear at the “heart” he got in reply.

Crater-Face: ^v^ <3

— Fin.

Lancaster Week Day 1: Fairytale

Once upon a time, in a little cottage deep in the woods, there was a young woman who wore a red hood. However this wasn't an ordinary girl no she was known by the nickname, Big Bad Wolf, although she wasn't really any of those things with the exception of that last bit. She was a happy little werewolf who enjoyed a peaceful life of hunting, playing with her puppy, and reading comics she would buy during the new moon. Although despite her happy little quiet life she did often get lonely.

One a young squire was walking in the enchanted woods. He was there to complete his final test to become a full fledged huntsman, defeat a monster. The blond haired youth went deeper and deeper into the woods looking for a beast to slay, but all he saw were passive creatures that held no harm or at worst tricksters that stole his coin purse before leaving it in the middle of the past after he freaked out. "I wonder how much longer I'll be in here," he sighed, he reached into his bag and pulled out a cookie and before he could take a bite he felt the gaze of a powerful beast lock onto him. He swiftly looked around and saw two silver eyes in the bushes before they jumped out and in front of him stood cloaked in a red cape a figure with sharp claws and blackish crimson fur around her forearms and lower legs. 'A werewolf,' he thought to himself.

"Leave the this place now," the werewolf said in a feminine voice that sounded fake gravelly. He saw drool drip from her mouth, "and leave behind the cookies."

'???,' all fear he had became confusion. His defensive stance became relaxed as he processed what was just said. "Uhhhh pardon?"

"I said," the beast's voice now entirely girlish, "oops I mean...*cough cough* leave these woods but leave the cookies" the 'scary' tone returning

"Ummm? What was that second part?" he said completely confused

The werewolf also stopped doing her 'battle pose' her hood dropped and puffed her cheeks in a pout, "I said leave the cookies dummy I'm hungry," her tone like a child having a tantrum.

"Uhhh well I need to stay here but, I can give you the cookies," he said reaching into his bag and grabbed the small bag of cookies and offered them to her.

The girl's ears and tail perked up and she rushed forward and began to sniff the bag to make sure she wasn't being tricked. She took the bag and smiled, "Yay thank you its been forever since I've had cookies."

Jaune looked at her and realized the intimidating werewolf was a foot shorter than him and except for the arm, legs, ears and tail she was a normal girl, a cute one at that. "Well I guess I'll be going," he made to walk past her.

"Hey wait why are you here anyway Mr Cookies," the werewolf asked putting s cookie in her mouth.

"I uhh am here to slay a dangerous monster so I can finally be a true huntsman," he said

She tilted her head in confusion as she continued to munch on her cookie. "But the evil monsters live on the otherside of the woods."

He looked at her and dropped his head, "oh come on."

"Well as thanks for the cookies I can take you there if you want," she said.

"Really!!!" he said happy, "thank you."

"No problem," she said, "I'm Ruby."

"I'm Jaune nice to meet you," he replied

Ruby guided Jaune through the woods into the Grimm Grottoes and along the way they became fast friends, Jaune promising he'd visit her and bring her cookies and comics. This was one of the greatest days of her life, cookies and new friends everything she could ask for.

(He is my quick and dirty entry for Lancaster week day one, turned out more fantasy in general with fairytale elements but I think it counts.)

Lancaster Week Day 1: Shy Jaune

Okay, I’ll admit it started out as an innocent moment. I couldn’t help; it was the moment that anyone else would overlook. Most people would ignore it, but it’s how the thought crept into my head, but it felt wrong to think about it. It wasn’t the right time, right place. If it’s anything, it was the worst time and the worst place. Then again, I was the moron who had feelings for her since Beacon but knew better than to attempt anything. Not with Yang acting like a stone guardian who would kill me if I so much as looked. Gave me that warning to stay from her sister unless I wanted to become paste on the walls.

It was simply the first time that should have been the biggest clue that I would fall harder than then getting between Nora and a pancake breakfast.

We had a test at Beacon everyone else was prepping for the tournament. It almost seems childish-looking back at how focused we were on the tournament when the books and knowing more about the Grimm were a lot more useful as huntsmen and huntresses. But I digress. I’m just trying to think of happier times before I started walking this shoreline. Before things became so bad, I fell into an endless void after failing to run for life after killing a friend and seeing most of my friends fall into an infinite void. I was wondering where the other people of Atlas and mantle fell here too. So much happened in such a short time, so much pain and misery. I just want to think of simpler times when you knew who your allies were. Where my crush began, and I was too much of a shy idiot to say anything about it.

Trying to keep spirits high when everything seems to be getting worse. Considering Penny finally became human only to die brutally. What happened to Maria and Pietro? My heart feels crack at the fact we don’t know what happened to them after what they sacrificed for us to get the message out to the rest of Remanent. All we know is that they fell out of orbit. Were they included in the escape plan out of Atlas, or would they be too far outside of the jurisdiction of Ambrosius?

The moment was simple I was confused about distinguishing marks for tactics on older Grimm, thinking that Grimm can be born with bone plating. My thoughts were that Grimm can be born a tough customer. I had it written in my notes and everything, and we were studying in silence, only saying a few words to each other. If it had been anyone, I might have felt nervous or awkward sitting in silence while my brain melted under stress. But around Ruby, I felt comfortable; that should have been my first clue, but I will admit blind to my own feelings.

“Jaune,” she patted my shoulder. It wasn’t a condescending pat but sympathetic with kindness in her eyes.

“Jaune? That’s the wrong information. You must have misheard Professor Port about that.” Ruby said softly in only the two of us would hear and wouldn’t alert the rest of the library.

“What?” He was confused until he noticed her looking at his notes. The confusion must have been evident on my face.

“Newborn Grimm is born without bone plating or any natural defenses from the average huntress or hunter; the average person with the most basic of combat training could kill a newborn Grimm. That’s developed over time from devouring people. We aren’t sure why, but it’s speculated and assumed it’s because people have an aura, and whatever Grimm is born with a lack it, and when eating people, it gains more strength to fight for longer.

It was that moment I had felt fluttering before a felt flush but ignored it. All the late time chats, the time we sparred during free time. It was kind of hard not to love Ruby. Admiring her and really enjoying her company was something as easy as breathing for me. Reminding myself repeatedly that she was my friend that liking her would ruin things if I ever tried it, but it was clear to Ruby that was like me being a huntress was all she cared about. Helping others take out Grimm was her main drive. Anything else was not worth her notice. When guys were asking her out to the dance back then, she was confused. She walked past them, not really getting what they were asking. I even thought about what would happen if I actively asked her out, only to get that cold, confused look and then die at Yang’s hands. It wasn’t like asking out Weiss, which I did more out of testing the waters and trying to get over my crush where I already know what the end result will be. Ruby was and always will be a lot different in my heart when it comes to my feelings and my emotions and my thoughts while some things, I have an easier time talking about when it comes to my feelings towards her, I feel tongue tide and actually nervous about what I want to say to her.

She was and is, even after all these years, pretty oblivious unintentionally. So, leaving any ambiguity would be a disaster. She still is unaware if someone was attracted to her or not, or she was... My heart stutters at the idea that she was dead and not knowing if they were in the same place.

His mind went every time he refused to acknowledge how he felt because it was inconvenient or didn't feel like he deserved it. When she smiled and felt the flutter but would stamp them down hard, you could almost hear the butterflies cry in agony at what I was doing. that didn’t make traveling with her across Anima any easier. Still, I was grieving my team member, and I still am in many ways. I barely knew her, and because I know that the reason she died was because of a power-hungry bitch who still hasn’t paid for what she’s done and keeps doing, so any thought of romance was not even in the forefront, much less the feelings I long since buried not when I had to be aware of any Grimm or any missions, we took from the town they took on the way to Mistral.

I have to hope most of team RWBY was down here, wherever here actually was. While we discussed the plan endlessly about how the warping would work, connecting Atlas and Vacuo seamlessly, I was with her when she made the explanation, so there no telling where we were exactly or if there were multiple places we could have fallen into. Or they might have fallen into some other sub-dimension of the gods. As well as a lot of the civilians that cinder jettisoned purposely when she landed on the bridge. The ones we couldn’t save. Even if I’m trapped wherever this is? At least the rest of my team and winter made it to safety. They aren’t stuck in some other dimension. They are safely in Vacuo, hopefully, able to contact the local government.

The only hopeful thought he had as he noticed the island, he was just oddly still, which put him on edge more than he was willing to admit making him glad that he at least had weapons with him what con possible be in this dimension who knows and if and how they would get back was another question altogether. If they were even here and he wasn’t trapped all alone.

Crescent Rose was sticking out of the sands, and I could hear a groan.

“Ruby?”

“Wait? Jaune? Jaune! Is that you?! What how?” Ruby sounded tired, worn out, considering she hadn’t slept since we found Salem was on her way; that makes more sense, I care to admit, especially since I was pretty sure I hadn’t slept in just as long.

“I couldn’t make it out of the warp before something turned it off. It closed right in front of me. but I can at least say winter and the rest of the time go out.”

At that moment, they held each other; they knew that they might be the only ones. Jaune had no clue where they were precisely, only this was a place similar to where artifacts had been hidden, a space between spaces. And the fact there is two suns in the sky, and the unnatural stillness made everything more terrifying, knowing that we were entirely out of our depth this time and there was nothing and no one we could rely on. and whether we could get back to remnant might not be possible unless winter works on figuring out how to open a portal wherever we are as more insane and impossible as that is. And will be if she even attempts it. Things are bad things are unsure, but I’ll tell her when I’m ready and not a moment before I’ve been tiptoeing about this for a long time. But right at this moment, right now is not the best time to put my heart on my sleeve and admit how much knowing that she was in my arms is the only place I’d rather be.

“R-r-Ruby,” he couldn’t help but stutter.

“I’m glad I at least found you in this mess.” his face was red; most of his guards were down, and he knew it. Before, he could compartmentalize his friendship and his feeling but not here now. Gripping her tighter in a hug giving her a chaste kiss on the cheek, taking the chance more than grateful to know that she was alive.

She gasped and held him tighter, her lips grazing ears whether it was an accident or on purpose didn’t matter. She was just above tears, and he would be reduced to the same soon enough. But at least I found Ruby.

When we find the others because I know we will, I will tell her how I feel no matter if she doesn’t feel the same about me. I’ve wasted too much time pretending like I don’t have feelings for her.

Do you have any RWBY notps?

Oh for sure. Most of them just fit into the “I don’t really see the chemistry” territory rather than “I hate to see them.” 

The majority of Jaune ships, for one. Arkos, Lancaster, Martial Arcs, and White Knight are really the extent of my acceptance for his ships. Anything else and it just feels like they’re paired up to tick off another mark in Jaune’s harem count. The ones I listed above all have incredibly different dynamics that make them interesting to explore, but outside of them I only see people treating the ship like Jaune and his sexy way-too-into-him girlfriend of the week. 

Iceberg. It flies in the face of Weiss’s character development and I just don’t care for Neptune all that much. 

Qrow x Summer. This one I just dislike. I hate the Qrow Dad theory and I hate the idea that these two couldn’t have just been friends. 

Monochrome. Apologies to the mono crowd but several bad run ins with monos shippers has left me sour on it. It’s cute, but I can’t bring myself to like it. 

That’s really all I can think of rn, and of course I don’t hate people who ship these, they just aren’t for me.
