A/N: @rwbyrarepairweek Day one: Dessert

“... you’re not seriously eating that for breakfast, are you?” Weiss asked as soon as she spotted Neon in the kitchen, sitting on the counter next to the toaster and munching away at a poptart at ten am.

"Why not? Neon asked, mouth still full so it sounded more like 'wiff n. Weiss made a face. Both at the question and the eating with her mouth full.

"Because that is a dessert, you heathen," Weiss said.

Neon blinked at her, eyebrows drawn low. She swallowed. "It's a breakfast food."

"Really?" Weiss snorted and grabbed the box of strawberry poptarts from the cabinet. She flipped to the nutrition label. "With thirty grams of sugar it's not."

"But it's labeled as a breakfast food." Neon took a pointed bite. It got crumbs on the counter. She pointed with the poptart and got crumbs on the floor, too, because of it. "Plus it's got vitamins."

Weiss rolled her eyes. "Oh joy, three b vitamins that account for less than a fourth of the serving." Neon shrugged.

"'s not my fault you can't handle tasty breakfast foods," Neon said.

"My breakfasts are tasty!" Weiss objected.

"Weiss, oatmeal is objectively disgusting. It doesn't matter what you try to add to it," Neon said.

"I didn't mean the oatmeal," Weiss grumbled. Though she liked her oatmeal. It was good with cinnamon and peaches.

"What are you eating?" Weiss asked the final person in the kitchen, Coco, sitting sideways in a chair at the dining table with her leg pulled onto the seat. Misery washed over her the second she saw what was in her hand. Another poptart.

"Cinnamon sugar poptart," Coco said. Neon laughed and Weiss groaned. Neither reaction seemed to matter to Coco, except Weiss saw the flicker of a smile. This was a betrayal. An utter betrayal. "Don't worry, I'll make pancakes and eggs for us tomorrow. So just join the club. We have blueberry, you can pretend it's healthy. Plus isn't it your favourite?"

Weiss grumbled again, because it was her favourite, but she didn't want to fall to its temptations. This was breakfast. That was dessert. Though maybe if she ate some actual fruit with it… Neon brushed past her as she thought, the corner of her first poptart slowly disappearing from between her lips as she ate while grabbing something from the cabinet and returning to the microwave. By the time Weiss made her decision, Neon handed her an already-toasted pair of blueberry poptarts already back in their wrapper. She huffed so she could show that she disapproved even as she took it.

"Thank you," Weiss said.

"You're welcome," Neon said. Then, after a purposeful few seconds, "I hope you enjoy your breakfast."

Weiss sputtered indignantly around her first bite.

Yang and Penny get together in the deserts of Vacuo…

Part of RWBY Rarepair Week 2023! Day 1: Des(s)ert

Archive of Our Own

Fanfiction.net

Vacuo. One of the most unforgiving places to live in Remnant. Yang never thought that she would be here in this kingdom, surviving with her team and numerous others, yet here they were. It wasn't as bad as they had feared, but still, it was rather different from not only Vale and Mistral, but even Mantle. The influx of Grimm was constant for a place they had to make do with, not to mention the potential threat of something going wrong somewhere in the city was higher than they'd ever experienced before. They barely found time to settle down. If they did.

Hey RWBY Artists/Fic writers, I've had a thought

....okay it's a rehash of a thought I had on my old account but

So pretty much all the RWBY ships have their "weeks" right, the big ships down to the ones that are like D tier in terms of popularity and then there's the @rwbyrarepairweek for the even more obscure stuff.

So what I'm thinking is, what if we have a week like that but it's specifically for ships that you don't ship and would never normally write/draw for.

Like, say you're a Whiterose and Bumbleby shipper for this week you take the prompts and make content for maybe Freezerburn for a day or two, a couple of Ladybug ones and throw in some Strawbana or something to spice it up.

Would anyone be interested?

Pairing: Freezerburnt Hare (Velvet Scarlatina/Weiss Schnee/Yang Xiao Long)

Word Count: ~400

A/N: Day three: Shopping @rwbyrarepairweek ; implied trans Weiss

"Nothing looks good," Weiss laments, wearing the sixth dress of the eleven they pulled into the dressing room.

"They've all looked good," Yang says from her seat on the bench behind her and Weiss turns away from the mirror to see her with her elbows resting on her knees, holding up her head. Velvet's sitting with a leg pulled onto the bench and her arm resting behind Yang.

"The problem is, you make everything look good," Velvet says. Weiss huffs, cheeks flushing with colour.

"That doesn't help me choose for the gala," Weiss says.

Yang and Velvet smile cheekily. "It's true, though," Yang says and Weiss manages a sigh.

“Maybe I should just put them all back and try somewhere else,” Weiss says, as if this isn’t the third place she has dragged Yang and Velvet to. Her partners are so patient. After this, she has to treat them to the nicest meal. It’s the least she can do for them dealing with her dress stress.

“Try this one,” Velvet picks a dress from the remaining pile and moves towards her with Yang. Before Weiss can say anything, Yang starts to pull the dress she’s currently in off her, so she obediently raises her arms so the dress can slip off without gaining damage. Once it's removed, Yang steps away to put it on a hanger and Velvet maneuvers her into the new one. All of it is done with her being pointedly turned away from the mirror.

Velvet takes her face between her hands, smiling. “This’ll be the one," Velvet says with so much confidence, Weiss thinks whatever she sees when she turns around she'll actually like. She glances at Yang, who smiles brightly and gives her a double thumbs up. Then Velvet spins her to the mirror.

The dress sparkles. It's not overwhelming, the glitter doesn't cover the entire thing like the dresses her parents forced her in once she came out and they realized they could, but it sparkles. The main fabric is gold, while the accents are a deep brown. She turns and the dress flows with her. It's classy, but moveable.

"And it has pockets," Yang says proudly, and Weiss suddenly remembers this is one of the dresses Yang pulled out for her. Immediately, Weiss seeks the pockets out until her hands sink into them and she smiles. Velvet and Yang are a good duo for shopping. Somehow they always seem to pull the perfect item off the rack.

"It's perfect," Weiss smiles at them through the mirror and Velvet gives a knowing smirk that shows off a dimple. "You two are magical."

"We know," Yang says.

a better person when i have you here

Yang wakes up to a hellscape of white arms reaching and bleeding black ichor, screaming faces of a finally dead woman, and so much fire.

This was written for @rwbyrarepairweek for today’s Dreams/Nightmares prompt. This takes place years after Volume 8, and the title comes from Mary Lambert’s “So Far Away”

AO3

FFN

Yang woke up in the middle of the night. Darn. She knew she shouldn’t have drunk that soda before bed. She groaned. She didn’t want to get up, but she had to.

Yang opened her eyes. The sight she saw was its own version of hell. White arms reaching and bleeding black ichor, screaming faces of a finally dead woman older than the shattered moon, and so much fire. All of it was a reminder that just because Salem had been defeated nine years ago, her evil would haunt Remnant for a long time, and healing wasn’t a linear journey.

Slowly, Yang felt her way through the hellscape, patting her way along the bed. That was one thing Emerald’s semblance had never evolved to cover. She could trick anyone with sound and sight, but touch was something grounding. Touch was a tool Yang used when she still saw Adam and his blade at the corners of her vision, when she still heard his taunts and the sounds of terrified, screaming classmates as Beacon was destroyed by Grimm and the White Fang.

Eventually, Yang’s fingers made their way to her wife’s tense and shaking body. Red eyes snapped open as the illusions disappeared. In the same moment, Emerald darted away, breathing heavily.

“Hey, hey, it’s okay,” Yang soothed. “You’re okay, it’s okay. You were having a nightmare. Salem and Cinder again.”

“How did you…” Emerald’s face fell as her breathing slowed. “I’m sorry.”

Before they started dating, back when being allies was a strange and tenuous thing, Emerald had vowed she would never use her semblance to trick Yang again. In fact, if at all possible she would shield Yang from any and every illusion. Back then, in Yang’s mind it hadn’t made up for how Emerald and Mercury ruined Yang’s name at the Vytal tournament, but it had been a crucial first step.

“Hey, it’s not your fault. You didn’t mean to, and you wouldn’t do it if you weren’t having a nightmare.”

Emerald was silent, and if it weren’t for Yang’s enhanced darkvision she probably would have thought Emerald had gone back to sleep without moving. It was a trait Yang had picked up after she had fallen from the bridge to Vacuo. It was also one of the more mundane traits, compared to the slit pupils that were probably dilated due to the darkness and the wings she didn’t always wear.

“They killed you,” Emerald eventually said into the darkness of their bedroom. “In my nightmare, they killed you.”

“Oh, honey.” Yang shifted so that she could take her wife’s hand. It was at moments like these that Yang wondered if she should sacrifice some of her comfort and wear her prosthetic to bed, just so she could hold Emerald’s hand and stroke her face in a comforting manner.

“I’m okay,” Yang continued as she rubbed circles into Emerald’s hand. “I’m okay, you’re okay. They’re dead and gone and won’t hurt us ever again.”

Slowly, Emerald’s breathing returned to normal, but she showed no signs of going back to sleep any time soon. And as much as Yang wouldn’t have minded cuddling her wife until dawn broke and cast away the last vestiges of nightmare, she had more immediately pressing matters to attend to. But she could do something else known to comfort people from nightmares.

Yang stood up and stretched before grabbing her prosthetic and scaled shawl from the nightstand. “I’m going to the bathroom; do you want me to get you anything on the way back? Water? Milk? Hot chocolate?”

A/N: I borrowed the idea of Yang becoming a dragon hybrid post-volume 8 from @aspiringwarriorlibrarian’s headcanon here
