So Nora then. And he's taken a liking to her that he follows her around to repay her for her kindness.

But even Nora is weirded out by him.

The persuit of power to the exclusion of all else... perhaps even sacrifciing her teammates to get more power

Basiciy I can see her as a competent Starscream

Power-hungry could definitely work for Rang. Have her go through excessive training to hone her physical power, seek out magical artifacts and sacred spaces to obtain mystical powers to become a punch wizard like some versions of Ganondorf, assert herself as the leader of the inverse-RWBY team instead of letting her nominal sister lead, and angle herself for the top lieutenant spot in Yuga's forces so she can position herself for a potential end goal of claiming the Demon King's power as her own. Combine that with some kind of Pain Is Power semblance similar to Yang's Burn...

I like it. There's some overlap with Cinder but that overlap means Yuga could play them off each other so it should still work.


What would you suggest for Bleiss? Normally when people make opposite Weiss they give her an overt attraction to Jaune while making her somewhat crass and antisocial, but would that be the right fit for a Bleiss with this background?

In any case she'd still have a variant of the Schnee family semblance, and the pseudo-magic of that semblance might cause the Twinrova sisters to view her as a potential understudy. Perhaps Bleiss is a witch first and a swordswoman second to contrast Weiss being a fencer first and a Wizard second?


Now for Wake I'm currently thinking that as a human supremacist she'd initially make herself wholly subservient to Rang, as Wake is uncertain if the Gerudo and Hylians truly qualify while Rang is unquestionably human. I'd imagine that Rang would end up pushing this loyalty to its absolute limits if we're doing the pursuit of power at all costs/a competent Starscream as Rang's foundation, and it'd be possible that Rang might push Wake's loyalty past its limits.

If those limits are broken or Rang abandons Wake in a bid for more power (and Wake survives this happening to her) I'd imagine that Wake would be in the market for a new master. I'd also imagine that Wake would have enough observational skills to realize that pledging herself to any of the other unquestionably human individuals on Yuga's side wouldn't be that different from being pledged to Rang, so she'd look for a master from the unquestionably human individuals on Zelda's side, i.e. Teams RWBY and JNPR.

And so if Rang missteps with Wake I'd picture Wake trying to defect and pledging herself to Jaune as he's the least Rang-like individual she can single out in the lineup.



As for Sapphire Rose I want the way she's Ruby's opposite to be complimentary instead of contradictory. That is to say Sapphire and Ruby are different in a way that jives; they just click with each other. If Sapphire wasn't created by a mad paint wizard who she feels some degree of loyalty to because he gave her life and their first introduction hadn't been a fight with lives on the line then Sapphire would have smoothly slid into Ruby and Yang's dynamic as if she had always been their sister.

Basically if events unfold in a way where Sapphire dies without switching sides it would feel super tragic to Ruby and Yang, and they find themselves mourning the sister that could have been. The happy ending of course being the two of them brining Sapphire home and Taiyang obtaining a surprise daughter.

The biggest obstacle to that potential happy ending being one of the traits Sapphire actually shares with Ruby; familial loyalty. From a certain point of view Yuga is Sapphire's father and Rang is her sister, and you've got to stick with family right?

So what would that look like? How could Sapphire be Ruby's opposite in a way where they fit together instead of repel each other?


Some feedback to further refine these ideas would be greatly appreciated.

phoenixwarehouseproductions2 asked:

How do Jaune and Coco react to Ruby wearing a panda onesie complete with eared hood as her night clothes

Panda Girl!
Ruby: Hey, Jaune, Coco?!

Jaune: Yes?

Coco: What's up, Red?

Ruby: Boom!

Ruby: Panda onesie!

Jaune: ...

Coco: ...

Ruby: So? What do you think?

~~~

Ruby: ...

Yang: Ruby?! What did you do?

Ruby: I just showed them my panda onesie?!

Yang: Ruby?! I told you not to show people you in your onesie! It's too powerful!

Ruby: No it's not!

Yang pointed at, Jaune to see the the blood dripping from his mouth, and then to, Coco's nose bleeding with a bright blush across her face.

Jaune: So... perfect...

Coco: She's so... adorable~!

Ruby: ...

Ruby: Okay that's not fair, they're part of the fashion trio! They always act like that with tasteful outfits!

Yang: ...

Yang: Weiss!

Weiss: Stop shouting, Yang, I'm right... Ruby?

Ruby: Hi, Weiss!

Weiss: ...

Weiss: Hrk!?

Weiss's body lurched forward as blood spilled from her nose as she dropped to her knees.

Ruby: Weiss?!

Weiss: So... adorable~!

(Thud!)

Ruby: WEISS?!

Yang: Told you...

[Leo 123]

I've just had a thought. You know who would be the most overprotective father towards his daughters from the current cast? Probably Neptune. He'll assume all boys are exactly like he used to be and so anything male looking in his daughter's direction for more than 0.1 second is going to get threatened, and they'll get a thrashing if they dare talk to her! Especially if he married someone shy like May or Orchid.

Those rose petals and spent casings, dripping with Ruby's blood looked like fingers and I thought "Ahh great, Have Ruby take care of both of her arms now"

 

[GraveyardShift]

Reminds me of an obsession the RWBY Alternate base had with Yang and Ruby. That Yang resented and hated Ruby and almost killed her during their first year of Beacon during an exhibition match leading to all kinds of drama and redemption stories.

"Neptune/Dad no!" the shared voices of May and Brooke Vasilias cried out as the blue haired man held a white haired boy by his scruff.

"What's your deal punk?!" he growled, "Eyeing my daughter like a piece of meat?! Where do you get off?!"

"S-she's my teammate!" the boy managed to yell out.

"Bullshit! My daughter being teammates with a no good scoundrel like-!"

He felt his head get smacked, and turned to see his daughter glaring at him.

"That's enough!" she yelled, "Sebastian is my teammate you idiot!"

Neptune felt his heart break at the insult, "B-but Brooke he-"

"We were discussing our training regiment to prepare for Vytal! Gods, why can't you just accept I'm not some toddler anymore?! If I wanna be with a boy then your input means jack!"

"Not when I know damn well how these boys are!" he yelled back, hoping his daughter would finally see reason.

"How?! How could YOU ever just decide all boys are gonna be the same way?!"

"Because I was one of them!"

His daughter just looked more annoyed, "No you were the way YOU were! That doesn't mean every guy around me is gonna just be the dumbass you were when you were younger!"

In an anime style scene, Neptune fell to his knees, finally wavering under his beloved daughters words. She in turn huffed in annoyance, though did feel a little bad.

"Come on Seb," she growled, "Let's go."

"R-right," the platinum haired boy nodded, sending one last nervous glance at Neptune before following his blue haired teammate.

"D-dumbass?" Neptune mumbled, mind repeating his daughter's words to him.

May leaned down and began to pat his back, "I-it'll be alright dear. But she has a point. You can't go assaulting every young man who says hello to her."

"I-i know but- I just-"

"You love her dearly, and want her to be safe. I do to. But scaring everyone away from her won't help. It'll just isolate her and make her truly hate you."

"I hate when you make good points," he grumbled.

May giggled before kissing his cheek, "It comes with being a sniper. I have to analyze my surroundings to know what's happening. So please, for her sake, and your safety stop harassing every boy until they do something to warrant it?"

"Fine fine. Wait why my safety though?"

"Ahem," a deep cough had the pair turn, and Neptune paled a little seeing Jaune Arc and Weiss standing before him. The titan of a blond (no he was definitely NOT jealous of that), seemed amused, while the shorter woman looked livid.

"Neptune," she began, and Neptune whimpered a bit, "Would you mind informing me why you believe throwing my beloved baby boy around like a ragdoll would be acceptable?"

"E-erm uh, w-well you s-see Weiss I-"

He cried out as she began to repeat his earlier actions. Jaune and May watched from the side.

"Try not to strangle him love," Jaune called out.

"Y-yes please don't kill my husband!" May followed up.

"So how've things been for you May?"

"Oh it's been quite nice lately! How has Radian been?"

"Well could be better. Had a bandit attack a month ago, then a small Beowolf pack not long after."

"Well if you require any assistance please ask. As a queen I can offer a good bit of aid if needed."

"Thanks May, but we're good for now. But I've got your scroll number if we get in a pickle, promise."

The two shook hands, before looking back to see Neptune being chased by Weiss still.

"Apologize to my baby boy!"

"I'm sorrrrrry!"

 

[GraveyardShift]

For those who may be new to me.

Andrew infected me with brainworms when he revised Jaune Arc Single Father entry 10. As a result I have been back and forthing with him over entries into that series involving my own creations. Ever since Volume 6 onward I have been developing Vacuo since that has been the one that literally everyone focuses the least on.

The result was a series spanning as of this post, a whopping 48 entries that ran parallel to Jaune Arc: Single Father. 47 of which have already been collected and complied into their own collection on Ao3 which was done before our relocation here. (No. 48 was posted recently.)

Instead of moving the entire collection here, I will simply post a link to the already existing collection if it tickles your fancy and let you see how I imagined Vacuo and simply move forward with new entries into it. (I don't wish to spam any more posts then necessary. The other works are orphaned works that have no home yet. I may change that.)

Jaune Arc, Single Father: The Artic Collection

Do note this is nether canon nor entirely Itanoverse compliant. This collection was also done per request for a lot of people who forgot details of what had already happened as part of this parallel series. So @Sift Green there you go for review if you want to give a more solid grade to Iella as a Harem protagonist. (As she IS intending to build one as opposed to wishy washy protags who end up in one, resist, and finally just accept their fate.)

And now continuing with the recent theme as of "Father I crave Violence" with entry number 49.

Daddy's Girl

Warlady Duchess Kyinaye Artic didn't even bother looking up from her scroll as the chair on the other side of the table scraped and someone sat down. "Isabel." She greeted the other woman.

"Artic." Doctor Isabel Arc returned the clipped greeting.

Other than Kyinaye's fingers tapping away and the ambient noise around them, there was silence.

Finally Isabel broke it with a sigh. "Alright Artic, which daughter is that and what is her angle with Nick?"

"Hmm?" Kyinaye finally looked up. Not at Isabel but in the direction of Isabel's husband Nicholas. The man had claimed an open spot in the yard and was working on his motorcycle. Half disassembled and spread out around him.

Hovering nearby was a bluehead of near identical appearance to Kyinaye herself. Semi-engaged with Nick handing him tools and exchanging words that Kyinaye couldn't hear at this distance.

Kyinaye stared for a few more seconds analyzing the daughter in question before turning back to the scroll. "Iessa. And it's pretty obvious she's made herself his assistant for the moment."

"Ether she, her sister, or both of them have been following him around for the last TWO DAYS."

Kyinaye paused FINALLY looking at Isabel with a raised eyebrow. "...I fail to comprehend the issue Isabel. Enlighten me."

"Nick took a roadtrip with one of your daughters and after they came back, one of them has been trailing around him at almost every hour of the day. I have not been able to tell who but it's at least one of them." She fixed Kyinaye with a look. "I do NOT want to have to get territorial with a CHILD Artic."

Kyinaye snorted and went back to her scroll. "Again I do not comprehend the issue Isabel. Are you seriously getting jealous over said child?"

Silence.

"Isabel I have PERSONALLY trained the girls in the art of seduction. I know what it looks like when they're trying to entice someone. THAT." She pointed in the direction of where Nick was ruffling Iessa's hair and the girl seemed pleased and gleeful at the action. "Is not what Iessa looks like when she's seducing someone."

She went back to her scroll. "If anything this FINALLY confirms something I have suspected for YEARS about Ess. She's never responded to me in the same way that El has. While not detrimental, I have suspected that if Tiber were still alive, she'd be demonstrating the same behavior towards him. Your husband has apparently taken it upon himself to appoint himself a father figure to a pair of girls who have never had a father before. It is a new and novel experience for them and not one I am opposed to. In so far that it's Nicholas doing it. Iessa seems to simply be making up for lost time."

Isabel blinked and watched Nicholas and Iessa interact a bit longer.

"So you're saying that-"

"Yes Isabel. Iessa is a Daddy's Girl."

---

....This is too short. Let's make it a twofer.

---

Squee!

"...And I'M saying that a 75PPM mix is the optimal level of coolant to keep the turbo from seizing!"

"No! YOU'RE saying that you want to piston to seize if the manifold develops even the slightest hairline crack!"

Jaune watched in some amusement holding Mia as Iessa and Weiss slung high level insults at each other. While anyone else would have devolved into hurling single word slurs, that clearly was far too crass for the two Highborn.

Their insults were much more verbose and angled more toward discrediting their positions then simple mudslinging.

If anything, Jaune had to admit, this was a much more educational catfight appropriate for Mia to be observing. And given her intense focus with eyes AND ears locked forward on the bickering elite, she was paying very close attention indeed.

Jaune had been walking out to see if his dad needed any help with his bike. Weiss had immediately spoken up on the dust mix he was using for the injection system as if trying to ingratiate herself to his dad.

Iessa who'd been there already, did not seem to enjoy Nick's attention being taken from her. Immediately going on the offensive against Weiss.

"ENOUGH!" Nick barked causing the next round of insults to die in the throats of both girls. One giant hand plopping on each of their heads. "There is no need for you two to fight over stupid simple stuff like this." he said in a calm tone as both girls meekly peered out from under his hands up at him. "There is plenty of work for a pair of smart girls and able hands for BOTH of you to help me. Now apologize to each other."

"...Sorry..." both girls mumbled chastised.

Nick ruffled their hair. Telling that nether one seemed to fuss at the attention. "Good girls. Now come help me properly! We're burning daylight and this needs to get done before sunset!"

"Father may I have a hug?" Iessa inquired.

"You certainly can!"

"Fff...ff.ffFather... may I also have a hug?" Weiss asked as if unsure.

Nick gave a boisterous laugh. "THE MORE THE MERRIER!" he swept up both girls, one in each arm embracing them tightly.

"Squee!" both girls exclaimed from the depths of his arms.

"Me too! Me too grandpa!" Mia exclaimed reaching for him.

Nick grinned carrying over his two captives, sweeping up BOTH Jaune and Mia in a hug. "FAMILY GROUP HUG!" He declared.

Nick may be a dull himbo at times but he knows how to handle feuding teenage daughters. Blood or not.

Honestlly I'd have her be the only surviving member of the antiRWBY and have her make it to Remnant and become a threat of her own.

Basically if events unfold in a way where Sapphire dies without switching sides it would feel super tragic to Ruby and Yang, and they find themselves mourning the sister that could have been.

I think it'd be the better take that Rang revels in her sister's death and Ruby and Yang legit mourn Sapphire,

Some free random ideas:

- What if Jaune had a family member who was Agatha Heterodyne from Girl Genius?
For reference, Agatha is basically a mad scientist who can make impossible inventions, from a family of mad scientists who were almost universaly evil, but she, her father and uncle are/were good guys.

Spoiler: Agatha Heterodyne, official artwork

Spoiler: Fanart of Agatha Heterodyne

- What kind of strange extended family could Pyrrha have?
Could be something like Chaotic Good Barbarian from Dungeon Soup being somekind of black sheep of the family?
(Chaotic Good Barbarian was mentioned as a possible uncle of Nora, but I think it's funnier if he's related ty Pyrrha, and the kind of red of their haircolours is closer)
Or maybe Pyrrha had some really weird celebritys as ex-boyfriends (or girlfriends), cause she was very famous and tended to go to celebrity social events?

[Frankly Tired]

Appreciation Day
The original of this was very short Summaries, 3 lines per person.
The Post below was when i was running my Old Threadmarks through a RWBY Reacts AI that I had for the boredom.
(Reactions Removed)
However this was Earlier AI when most of my writing rules weren't in affect for it, so its a bit gross.
(I have gone through it an Re-wrote & Added parts)
~~~~~~
Jaune decides, as a show of appreciation, he's gonna take each of his friends on a 1-on-1 hang out day.
Sure, he could send everyone out all together, but each day was meticulously put together for each person.
And he had to be there in person for certain appointments.

Jaune (and Nora & Ren) don't see these as dates.
The others agree they couldn't be dates, but a few are suspicious that it might be (It's really not).
~~~~~~
Jaune Arc had made a list.

This was already dangerous.

Not because Jaune was bad at lists, exactly. The opposite, really. This list had neat boxes, times, backup times, meal considerations, travel estimates, emergency snack notes, and one line near the top written in bold: SHOW APPRECIATION PROPERLY.

Pyrrha leaned over his shoulder. "What are you writing, Jaune?"

Jaune jolted so hard his pencil nearly flew out of his hand. "Nothing!"

Nora appeared on his other side. "Looks like a battle plan."

Ren looked over from the next table. "It has contingencies."

Jaune slowly covered the paper with both hands. "It's private."

He took a breath and showed the lists to his team, "I just thought everyone's been helping me a lot," he said, looking down at the list rather than at the people around him. "Training, homework, missions, not letting me get flattened by Grimm, general survival. So I wanted to do something nice back."

Pyrrha smiled. "Like a team day?"

"Kind of. Except… not everyone together." Jaune quickly lifted both hands. "Not in a weird way! I just mean everyone likes different stuff. If I tried to make one big day, someone would get bored, someone would get dragged somewhere they didn't want to go, and Nora would probably commit a public food-crime."

Nora gasped. "I would never."

Ren looked at her.

"Without a reason," Nora amended.

Jaune continued, "So I made one day for each person. One-on-one. Personalized."
~~~
(I will try to do some rewording for them)

Ruby:
Ruby's day came first, it wasn't hard to convince her about Appreciation day.

Jaune took her to a bakery café tucked between two bookshops in Vale. It had lace curtains, tiny round tables, and a display case full of cakes, cookies, cream puffs, fruit tarts, chocolate rolls, cinnamon twists, and at least six pastries Ruby could not identify but immediately trusted.

Ruby pressed both hands against the glass. "Jaune."

Jaune smiled, already looking proud of himself. "I made a reservation."

Ruby pulled her face from the glass. "For pastries?"

"For the All-You-Can-Taste selection."

Ruby stared at him as though he had just revealed magic.

Jaune held up a small menu that had been provided when he first came to set the appointment.
"They bring out tiny samples of everything, and you rank them. Then at the end, you can pick a full-size favorite to take home."

"You found a Dessert Tasting!?" Ruby's swiped the Menu and scanned through it, "I didn't think those were real! I thought they were a myth, like a White Beowolf, or a gun sight that never needs to be realigned!"
Ruby tried every sample without a hint of stopping.
For Jaune, he could only handle so much sugar, and stopped after the 15th.
Settling for drinking the free tea provided, and watching his best friend go through the menu.

She took notes on napkins. She ranked frosting texture. She debated crumb density. She asked the server if the strawberry cream puff had "reload potential," realized what she had said, and embarrassingly apologized while Jaune quietly slid her more tea.

By the end, Ruby picked a full-size chocolate-chip cookie sandwich with silver sugar dusting.

The Day was ending, and the two had returned to beacon.
Ruby hugged the pastry box to her chest. "This is the best non-weapon related thing anyone has ever scheduled for me."

Jaune smiled. "That is weirdly specific, but I'll take it."

~~~
Yang:
Yang's day was second.

Jaune met her outside a small Vale theater showing an animated romantic comedy. The poster featured two rival pilots accidentally handcuffed together while trying to win an airship race.

Yang stared at the poster.

Then at Jaune.

Then back at the poster.

"You picked a romcom?" she asked.

Jaune rubbed the back of his neck. "You like action. You like bad jokes. You like making fun of people who take too long to admit they like each other. This had all three."

Yang slowly grinned. "Arc, that is either really brave or really dangerous."

"I propably shouldn't mention it's a private viewing," Jaune said quickly.

"Brave it is."
The movie was ridiculous.

Yang loved it.

She threw popcorn at the screen when the leads missed obvious signals. She laughed loudly during every crash. She elbowed Jaune whenever the heroine pretended she absolutely did not care about the rival pilot while saving his life for the third time.

"Oh, come on," Yang said through a mouthful of popcorn. "She rebuilt his engine overnight and still says she hates him?"

Jaune, half-laughing, said, "Maybe she's just helpful."

Yang gave him a look.

Jaune sank lower in his seat. "Okay. No. Even I heard it."

~~~
Weiss:
Weiss's day was an arcade.

Weiss had questions.

Most of them concerned why Jaune had brought her somewhere with neon lights, electronic music, and a machine that appeared to be eating someone's money.

She looked at him. "An arcade?"

Jaune nodded, handing her a cup of tokens. "An arcade."

"You brought me to play games."

"That is generally what people do here, yeah."

Weiss looked down at the tokens. Then she looked at a nearby racing game, where a child was enthusiastically steering into a wall.

"I suppose I could try one or two."

Jaune smiled. "That's the spirit."

Weiss began with air hockey.

Jaune made the mistake of assuming her skills of hand-eye coordination as a Huntress in Training wouldn't translate.

The puck shot past his paddle.

He blinked. "Oh."

Weiss served again.

Three minutes later, Jaune was leaning over the table, desperately defending his goal while Weiss stood on the other side with the most satisfied smile he had seen from her all week.

"You seem to be having trouble," she observed.

"I'm starting to notice that."

She scored again.

Jaune looked at the scoreboard, and his abysmal score. "Best two out of three?"

Weiss smirked. "You mean best three out of five."

They stayed for another four rounds.

Afterward, Weiss discovered the rhythm games. She insisted the first one was poorly calibrated, the second had an unnecessarily complicated song selection, and the third was actually quite enjoyable.

Jaune caught her trying it again when she thought he wasn't looking.

"Want another token?" he asked.

Weiss straightened. "I was simply confirming my previous score."

"Sure."

"Jaune."

"Didn't say anything."

By the time they left, Weiss had challenged him to another air hockey match, beaten his high score on a racing game, and spent several minutes trying to convince a claw machine to surrender a stuffed penguin.

The penguin remained firmly lodged between two other plushies.

Weiss stared at it.

Jaune glanced at the machine, then at her. "We could try somewhere else."

"Absolutely not."

He handed her another token.

On the 23rd token, the claw caught the penguin by the head and through the stitched in ribbon around its neck, hauling it up, and dropping it straight into the prize chute.

Weiss retrieved it, holding it against her chest with a triumphant little smile.

Jaune grinned. "Worth it?"

Weiss looked at the penguin, and then at her empty token cup.

"Obviously," she said.

They called it a day when they noticed both of their cups were empty.

~~~
Blake:
Blake's day was quiet by design.

Jaune led her to a small reading room above an independent bookshop. There were cushioned chairs, tall windows, soft lamps, and a strict silence rule posted near the door.

Blake looked around. Her ears relaxed.

"This is already good," she said.

Jaune smiled and placed a folder on the table. "It gets better."

Blake opened it.

Inside was a manuscript marked QA COPY — PRELIMINARY READER FEEDBACK REQUESTED. The author's name at the top made Blake gasp in wonder.

Jaune said, "I heard from Yang that you liked her books."

Blake slowly looked up. "How did you get this?"

Jaune shifted. "A lot of polite emails."
She quickly settled into the chair and began reading.

Jaune did not hover.
He sat at the far side of the table with a notebook, occasionally checking the time, occasionally offering tea, and otherwise leaving Blake alone with the manuscript.

Every so often, Blake made a small mark in the margin.

Then another.
Then several more.

After an hour, she had filled many of the pages in pen marks, and provided sticky notes.

Jaune glanced over. "Good book?"

Blake did not look up. "Yes. The love interest turned protagonist goes on to becomes an assassin on revenge."

"And the notes?"

Blake's pen paused. "I'm letting the author know how infiltration works" The pen twirled, "...and maybe a few suggestions on who the assassin princess should date."

~~~
Ren:
Ren's day took place at a tea shop with dark wooden shelves, ceramic pots, and had a menu long enough to intimidate anyone who thought tea was just leaves and water.

Ren looked at the shop sign, then at Jaune.

"You found a tasting appointment?"

Jaune nodded. "I told the owner you liked tea and quiet, so she reserved the side room."

Ren's expression barely changed, but his shoulders eased.

Inside, the owner brought out small cups one at a time. Floral teas. Roasted teas. Green teas. Spiced blends. One smoky black tea that made Jaune cough so hard Ren had to slide him water without comment.

Then Jaune tried a mild honeyed oolong and paused.

Ren noticed. "You like that one."

Jaune looked surprised. "I think I do."

The day was silent with the sounds of Mistralian strings playing from a speaker somewhere.
and Mistralian aromas from the teas, and the hanging plants around the shop and in their tea room.

For the moment Ren believed he was a child again, in his family's home.
He closed his eyes, trying to focus on the footsteps of his parents as they walked around the house.
He didn't hear them, but when he opened his eyes, he was met with the eyes of his team leader, and the brother of another family.

A smile graced his lips, and he was as content as he could be.

~~~
Nora:
Nora's day required permission slips.

Several permission slips.

One from Professor Goodwitch, from Professor Ozpin, the groundskeeper (Professor Port), the quartermaster, and one from Ren, though Jaune wasn't sure that one was legally necessary.

Nora bounced in place at the edge of ForeverFall Forest while Jaune checked the gear.

"So," Jaune said, reading from the approved activity form, "this is an all-you-can-hunt day with minimum supervision, strict boundaries, emergency flares, and a return time."

Nora's grin could have powered Vale. "Grimm smashing friendship adventure!"

Jaune nodded. "Yes. With boundaries, we can't leave the forest."

Nora saluted. "Boundaries!"

The first hour went beautifully.

Nora smashed Grimm. Jaune stood at the side. They went north, deeper into the forest
Nora smashed more Grimm. Jaune marked the map and checked the time. They went further in.
Nora found bigger Grimm. Jaune questioned whether the map had feelings and whether they were hurting them. They ended up on the other end of the forest.

Then Nora spotted movement at the base of the mountains.

"Big one!" she shouted, already running.

"Boundary line!" Jaune called.

"I know!"

"That means stop before it!"

"But Big Monster!"

Several hours later, Jaune and Nora stood on a mountain ridge far above the forest, covered in leaves, dirt, and pine needles.

Nora looked around. "Good news! We found the mountains."

Jaune stared at the horizon. "Nora, we were not looking for the mountains."

A bullhead with a very dissapointed Goodwitch hovered above them, and they yelped as she whisked them aboard.

Pyrrha:
Pyrrha's day did not follow Jaune's plan.

Jaune had a schedule. A careful one.
It included a museum exhibit, a quiet lunch, a scenic walk, and something labeled only as "optional surprise if comfortable."

Pyrrha saw the list for exactly three seconds.

Then she gently took it from his hands.

Jaune blinked. "Uh."

Pyrrha smiled, polite and nervous. "Would you mind if I made a small adjustment?"

"Sure," Jaune said. "What kind of adjustment?"

The next scene showed them in Beacon's training hall, weapons drawn, circling each other on the sparring floor.

Jaune, slightly breathless, said, "This feels like more than a small adjustment."

Pyrrha's smile was brighter now. "Do you want to stop?"

Jaune grinned despite himself and lifted his shield. "No."
The spar ended with Jaune on his back, laughing up at the ceiling while Pyrrha stood over him with Milo lowered.

"Sorry," she said, immediately offering a hand.
Jaune took it. "That was great."

Pyrrha paused. "It was?"

"Yeah. I mean, I got thrown around a lot, but I knew what to do with that."

Pyrrha's expression shifted, guilt mixing with realization.

Jaune glanced toward the folded schedule on the bench. "I had a whole plan, but this was fun too."

Pyrrha smiled, though it was smaller now. "I am glad."
She looked at the schedule again.
"Perhaps," she said softly, "another time, I should let you show me what you planned."
~~~
Pyrrha (For Real This Time):

The next day, Jaune stopped his partner.
Jaune stood with the original schedule in hand, looking nervous enough that even the paper seemed sympathetic.
"I had fun," he said quickly. "I really did. I just… I also wanted to show you the day I planned. If you still want to. No pressure."

Pyrrha looked at the schedule.
Then at Jaune.
Her smile was shy, but steadier than before. "I would like that very much."

This time, she let him lead.
~~~
The day was everything Pyrrha never thought she wanted.

Jaune took her to a small museum exhibit where no one recognized her, because the exhibit was about old regional armor and half the visitors were too busy arguing about helmet shapes to notice a tournament champion, even taking part when Argosian designs were brought up. He had picked a quiet lunch booth tucked away from the street. He had found a walking path with enough open space that Pyrrha did not feel boxed in, but enough privacy that she did not feel watched.

He did not ask her to pose for anyone.

He did not introduce her as Pyrrha Nikos, champion.

He did not make a speech about how amazing she was.

He simply spent the day with her.

By sunset, they were back at Beacon, walking through the halls while golden light stretched across the floor.

Pyrrha held the small paper flower Jaune had won from a fair-style puzzle stall along the way. She kept looking at it like it was made of something far more precious.

They reached the bend in the hallway near the dorms.

Jaune checked the schedule one final time, then smiled sheepishly. "well, that was everything. I hope it was okay."

Pyrrha looked at him.

For a moment, all the confidence people expected from her was nowhere to be seen. She looked nervous. Happy, but nervous.

"It was more than okay," she said.

Jaune's shoulders loosened. "Good."

Pyrrha stepped closer.

Jaune blinked. "Pyrrha?"

She pulled him close, and kissed him.

It was quick. Soft. Surprising enough that Jaune froze completely, and dropped the schedule from his hands.

Pyrrha stepped back, face scarlet but eyes bright.

"Thank you," she said.

Jaune stared at her, then at the schedule, then back at her.

"I," he said faintly, "did not plan that part."

Honestlly I'd have her be the only surviving member of the antiRWBY and have her make it to Remnant and become a threat of her own.


I think it'd be the better take that Rang revels in her sister's death and Ruby and Yang legit mourn Sapphire,

Click to shrink...

While I wouldn't put that off the table it would be a shame if the other members of Inverse-RWBY never set foot on Remnant. Like there's a whole boatload of hilarity you'd be passing up on if Wake never makes it to Remnant; just imagine Blake having to explain her white-haired doppelgänger to her parents.

And while sad and bittersweet endings do happen frequently in The Legend of Zelda there are also plenty of straight-up happy endings, and with the way canon RWBY went they could use some of those happy endings.

That being said there are ways to have this cake and eat it to. There are plenty of curses and other magical means lying around Hyrule that can leave someone technically or temporarily dead allowing them to be brought back so long as the relevant Story Boss is beaten quickly enough.

Like I'm currently imagining Rang using an artifact at the end of a dungeon to straight up absorb the other members of Inverse-RWBY right as actual RWBY show up, with Rang then using the dungeon boss to cover her escape. Post boss fight Ruby and Yang grieve. Then they run into Rang in the final room of the next dungeon they clear and Rang ends up being the boss fight of this dungeon. Then they manage to hit Rang hard enough to reverse the absorption to everyone's surprise.

So it's definitely something to think about while developing this idea. While I won't deny there are narrative advantage to more permanent deaths for the members of Inverse-RWBY there are also narrative advantages to keeping them around more long term, so we'd just have to see which one feels right as the story unfolds.

That being said in order for a death (be it permanent or temporary) to have real impact the character needs to have real connections to other characters and the audience. So do you have any ideas for character traits that would let Sapphire naturally click with Ruby and Yang?

Sapphire would be a pessimist to contrast with Ruby's optimism, yet she would still be just as energetic and driven. A "life is short, I can't waste the time I have," mentality could be a driving factor.

Bleiss is hard to pin down and will probably take most rethinking if this fic ever gets written.

Wake is also hard to pin down, but the potential comedy of making her a human supremacist to contrast with Blake's egalitarian aspirations is hard to resist.

Rang's differences from Yang make her the daughter Raven thinks she wants, what exactly that entails is still under consideration.

Click to shrink...

So Saphhire a mirror to Ruby

Ruby - Grieved naturally and took her mother's loss as an inspiration to become a huntress like her. Approaches every day with optimism and hope.

Sapphire - Emotionally stunted herself acts as a voice of reason in the team. Trudges through life with pessimistic realism.

Bleiss is either all of the repressed thoughts of Weiss manifest [likes Rock Music and Bi disaster to muscle mommies and mature men] or Jaq Daughter and everything the WF said about the Schnee manifest?

Wake is Blake White Fang extremism flipped , So Wake is basically the Uncle Ruckus of Faunus

Rang a nightmare or basically Cinder 2.0 instead of Vernal

Looking back at V3 their whole plan for beating Yang and Weiss was just hoping that Neon could distract Yang long enough for Flynt to beat Weiss so they could jump her.

Two years later they tried the exact same plan on team JNPR with Neon distracting Nora while the rest of her team just had a bunch of one on one fights with them all losing said fights with it ending with her being surrounded on all sides and getting bonked on the head.

Reminder that these "potential" future specialists from the most elite technological advanced military shared huntsman school on Remnant lost to a team with some guy with only 6 months of Beacon education and like 5 months of being in the field, two broke ass orphans from nowhere, and a 12 year old.

I guess 8 years of huntsmen training doesn't amount to much if you're just going to repeat the same shit that made you lose in the first plac

FNKI were legitimately good, they had to be in order to make it into the Vytal festival tournament. However, they're not any better than any other team who had made it to that point. With that in mind, it is easy to see why they progressed much slower than the main cast.

from the most elite technological advanced military shared huntsman school on Remnant

A formal education is nice and all, but the series has made it clear that experience is just as good a teacher for huntsmen. Blake, Qrow, Raven, and Maria are all people who did not attend any formal combat school but had plenty of personal experience in fighting and gained easily passed the tests they needed to in order to either enroll in Beacon or secure a Huntress license.

Team JNPR might be a bunch of rag tag underdogs, but they've been forced to face tough challenges and grow as people and fighters. Between Volumes 3 and 7, they've done plenty of huntsmen work on their way to Mistral, killed the Nucklevee, survived an encounter with Salem's faction, protected the train on the way to Argus, and fought off a giant robot.

By contrast, what could FNKI even be doing for training? A year or two of combat classes? They're not licensed huntsmen, so they can't take on any missions in Atlas. We know from V7 that the Ace ops arrest anyone who fights without a license even if they're fending off Grimm. There's also just nothing to indicate that Atlas combat classes are innately better than anywhere else, seeing as it was only FNKI who even made it through the Vytal tournament compared to RWBY, JNPR, and CFVY all making it through. That's pretty consistent with Atlas. They may boast about their superiority, but they aren't actually any better than anyone else. RWBY beats the 4 Ace Ops when they're forced to fight for real. It's not surprising that JNPR can handle FNKI if that's where their sister team is at.

Basically, FNKI remained students while the main cast were forced to become hunters in order to meet the level of challenges that were thrown their way.

Team CMEN or Crime

Spoiler: evil

which one is the normal one? of Cinder Mint Emerald and Mercury

Spoiler: jail

be funny if after the series some rando just knocks them out for all the murder they did in Vale and arrested them because like Sasuke in Naruto, Saving the World is not a get out of Jail free card

would love a scene of Jaune or Ruby just smiling and saying to Emerald that no, they do not forgive her [never going to happen but still]
She switch sides because it was them or death and they hate her for her part in Penny first death and Pyrrha death and have priories on stopping Salem
Like Teal'C speech on Forgiveness i need a petty Hero! I know it's against there character but just some good damn consequences would be appreciated! Hell just a scene on a family member of Tuskon mourning him to make them feel guilt!
