Jaune was rummaging around in a cardboard box in the JNPR dormroom when Ren entered. The stoic ninja raised an eyebrow as Jaune looked up and smiled.

"Hey Ren. I got you a drink from my farm!"

Ren was not prone to a lot of emotions, but his soft smile was genuine.

"Really? Thank you. What is it?" Ren asked. Jaune held up a green glass bottle and held it out.

"It's tea. Well, a special kind of tea," Jaune replied, "My sister Verdy likes tea ceremonies and culture, and so she sends me some special blends every now and again.

"I see." Ren opened the Ice Dust cool bottle and sniffed the aroma. He recognized it instantly.

"Ah, Jasmine... And it appears to be carbonated." He smiled and nodded to Jaune. "Thank you."

"You're welcome man," Jaune said with a similar smile. Ren sipped it gently, as Jaune unfolded some papers that had come in the box. Ren swallowed, and nodded.

"It's very good, with a bit of a burn. What's it called?"

Jaune scrolled down the pages and smiled.

"Oh! Jasmine fizz? It's a cocktail made with..." He narrowed his eyes, "Vodka?" He shrugged and looked up at Ren.

"Well, it shouldn't be an issue if you're not a lightweight-"

He stopped short. Ren's face was bright red. He was grinning like a loon, and wobbling slightly.

"Haaa... Thish... Thish is grrreat, Jauunnne!" He began to chug the bottle as Jaune's face fell.

Oh shit, he's a total lightweight! Jaune thought in horror. He couldn't imagine how embarrassed Ren might be if anyone saw him like this!

"Uh... Hey, Ren?" Jaune asked, reaching for the bottle, "Maybe you should take it easy on that stuff-"

"Nuh uh!" Ren declared, "Thish ish like... Like... Dancing unicornsh... On my tongues... Shee?"

"Huh?" Jaune asked.

Just then, Nora barged the room, as was her wont. She beamed happily.

"Hey Renny and Jaune-Jaune-!"

"NORRRRRAAAAAAA!" Ren exclaimed. He grabbed her and kissed her deeply. "OMNOMNOMMMMMM~!"

"MMPH?!" Nora was taken by surprise.

Jaune quickly pulled Ren away from the dazed Nora, holding him tightly even as he kept swaying.

"Woah woah woah... Are you all right, Nora?" He held Ren back, who was giggling drunkenly. Nora's mouth was stuck open as she stared in shock.

"Um, sorry about that. My sisters sent me some alcohol and I didn't know it was alcohol-I thought it was tea! Well, it is tea but it's made with vodka and now Ren's drunk! I had no idea he was such a lightweight-You okay?"

Nora was silent for a moment, which was easily in the top ten most terrifying things Jaune had seen in his life. Then, she calmly shoved Jaune out of the room (thankfully via the door this time). She grabbed the bottle of alcohol, tilted Ren's head back, and poured more down his throat.

"DRINK MAN! DRINK FOR OUR VALKYRIE NINJA BABIES!" she exclaimed. Ren gave her a thumbs up.

Jaune stared at the situation and decided to make a command-level decision. He shut the door, locked it, and put a "Do Not Disturb" sign up. He sighed and shook his head.

"I... think I'll avoid the dorms for a while..."

 

[SharkCultist]

The hangover will be legendary.

For a moment I thought it was going to be Drunken Master

I think a good fic concept series might be... Jaune beating one of the RWBY girls (or the other female characters) one on one in Combat Class thanks to Pyrrha's training. He doesn't curbstomp them, mind you, but he's able to outthink them and pull out a win with some grit, some luck, and Pyrrha's tutelage.

Now it's not something he would brag about, because he values his friends (and his life). But it would be an interesting start for a fic that deals with character growth for both Jaune and the girl he managed to defeat.

Naturally I would start with Yang. Because there's actually a lot of potential character work to be done with her, implications to explore. That and defeating her is actually somewhat straightforward if you apply some thought to it. But what are your thoughts?

Again, Jaune wank is too prevalent and I've done it a time or two (mainly for laughs). In this case it's using his progress not merely for wish fulfillment but for self examination and more character interaction between this girl and Jaune.

my guess from easiest to hardest win.
- Ruby, 2 years behind everyone else and only knows how to fight with her gun, take away crescent rose and she'll fold.
- Wiess, trained by the best Atlas has to offer, but wouldn't take Jaune seriously until it's too late.
- Yang or Blake, not sure on who would lose first. Blake has live experience, but Yang has her semblance.

Informational.

Welcome perspective Huntsmen and Huntresses to your first class on the deeper mechanics of Hunters and Grimm classifications.

Today's lesson will be on semblances. Due to the variety of semblances classifications are very broad, it's also possible for semblances to change classification.

First we have whisper semblances. These semblances are either very weak or show no combat potential. Most semblances in this classification take very little aura to use.

Next we have the general classification. This is where most semblances lie. Decently strong without being truly above and beyond.

Following this we have hereditary semblances. Though it should be noted that not all hereditary semblances are like the schnee semblance which are 1 to 1 copies of each other. Most are more like the pyrust family who's semblances all have to deal with flames in some way shape or form, a common theme without being completely the same.

Next we have the malevolent or broken semblances. These being semblances that are a negative impact to their holder and sometimes even fatal. These semblances are born out of trauma and deep seated psychological issues. It should also be noted that this classification can be in tandem with the others. It is possible to "fix" one of these semblances through changing of mindset and confronting trauma. Oftentimes this classification ends up on veteran hunters.

Finally we have Nobel Semblances. These are the semblances that stand above others. Either in power or mechanics they are exceptional. Some examples of Semblances in this category can be anything that can reshape a battlefield or something that effects the soul directly.

This concludes the end of the class. Any and all questions can be sent to your professor through scroll messaging.

Fun stuf, but I feel like there should also be classifications about the effects of Semblanses, as well as a differentiation catagory between active and passive Semblances.
One simple example are the power classifications used in the Parahumans setting (Worm and Ward); which are Mover, Shaker, Brute, Breaker, Master, Tinker, Blaster, Thinker, Striker, Changer, Trump and Stranger.

Spoiler: Maybe something like:

• Mover, gives enhanced speed or new method of mobility (Ruby/Raven).
• Blocker, gives somekind of direct defensive boost or option (Tock).
• Striker, gives a direct strenght or melee enhancement/option (Yang/Nora).
• Blaster, gives ranged damage blasting ability.
• Booster, gives an option to enhance their teammates and possibly themselves (Jaune/Clover).
• Weakener/Sapper, gives an option to decrease the capabilities of enemies (Qrow).
• Controler, gives the user control over something (Pyrrha/Glynda).
• Mental, enhances, changes or gives the user something new mentally (Ren/Ironwood/Hazel).
• Illusion, incluences others mentally in some way or project holograms (Emerald/Neo).
• Scanner, boosts/changes the senses of the user in some way, may give new ones (May/Maria).
• Maker, allows the user to make and/or control something (Blake/Sun).
• Trump/Soul, which lets the user effect the Semblances of others in some way (Jaune).

These are just some suggestions though, and of course someone's semblance can have a mix of classifications.

Some Valentine's Day Prompts:

-Jaune means to give Weiss some Valentines' Day chocolate, but after being rejected, he shares it with Yang/Pyrrha/Blake/someone else instead. Turns out it's an old Arc Family recipe, and has a goofy effect on the two.

-Nora learns about Valentines' Day and has never celebrated it. So she covers herself in chocolate sauce to be Ren's Valentine! Which Ren wouldn't mind if she didn't do this in public...

-Jaune and Yang are both alone for Valentine's Day and are bummed. So they go out to have some fun together. And they have a LOT of fun, the date goes very well... And Yang, on impulse, blurts out that she's never been kissed. Jaune however has. So why not fix that?

-Ruby wants to prove she is an adult, so she has Jaune take her on a date! And while they have a good time, Ruby is now thinking about her best friend in a different way...

-Pyrrha reveals that she's never actually been on a date before. Her life was too controlled and structured to be on one. So Jaune, after getting shot down by Weiss, resolves to take Pyrrha out to have some fun. Pyrrha is still very shy, but with Jaune and in disguise? She can relax and enjoy herself for once.

-Glynda is pretty lonely on Valentine's Day. Jaune, working as her assistant for detention, resolves to do something nice for her. So he puts together a wonderful romantic dinner for Glynda to show how much he appreciates her and all she does. Which sets some tongues wagging...

-Cardin is NOT getting Velvet a Valentines' Day gift! He's not giving her flowers and chocolate! He just found them! And he's absolutely NOT taking her out to a fancy dinner! He's being blackmailed into it! HE DOESN'T LIKE HER AT ALL!

 

[AndrewJTalon]

They spent the night at the hospital on cots. Jaune didn't get much sleep, but he did his best.



The next day, they went out to Vale's Central Square in the New Town district for lunch. In the center of a large roundabout was a huge fountain and statue, commemorating the brave people who had lost their lives during the War of the Thrush: A huge conflict between the nations of Vale a few decades before the Great War.



It was also near the main gates of Vale itself... Where the train would breach.



Pyrrha: "Jaune? Jaune, are you all right?"



Jaune: "Hm? Oh..."



Nora: "I mean, you haven't even touched your food!" Nora grabs one of his crepes and scarfs it down "Mmmm~! Lunch pancakes!"



Nick: "Nora!" scowl "No stealing from your brother's plate!"



Nora: contritely "Sorry Dad."



Nick: "That's better. Seriously though sport, what's up?"



Jaune: "Just... Ya know..." shrugs "A little concerned about stuff."



Jaune's Brain: Ruby should have called me by now... Why didn't she call me? I was supposed to get a transmission, garbled, this morning... Did I change the timeline too much? Did they stop the train?



Nick: "Ahhh... I get it." chuckles "Worried for your girlfriend, huh son?"



Jaune: "Yes."



Nick: nods "Ahh... I was worried about your mother a lot, too. She had a tendency to charge in to rescue people on impulse. And to stand her ground to defend her patients, even if she was all alone. And to go to places I dared not enter, for fear of death!"



Ren: "Such as?"



Nick: shudders "The fashion department."



Nora: "HORRORS!"



Nick: brightly "But this is a training mission! I'm sure everything will be fine!"



Jaune: "Y-Yeah... Fine..."



Which was when everyone's Scroll, and the large holographic billboard screens overhead, began to flicker. A static-y image of Professor Oobleck appeared.



Oobleck: "Citize-of Vale-Imminent dis~ster-activate the emer-cy-now-train-main gat---Under---you must-!"



The image flickered out, going back to advertising. Nick frowned deeply, put his money on the table, and stood up.



Nick: "Check social media, see if anyone else saw that. I'm going to talk to the police."



Nick headed over to some cops sitting in a nearby police car, pulling out his Hunter ID. They talked for a bit while Jaune, Nora, Ren and Pyrrha all scrolled through their Scrolls. Jaune checked the time: 11:50 AM.



Pyrrha: "Seems like it only affected the billboards in this area, near the main gate... Is that what he meant?"



Ren: "But where's the disaster? What kind of disaster?"



Jaune's Brain: In the show, the area around the main gates was deserted... But here...



There were hundreds, maybe thousands of people wandering around. Jaune took a deep breath.



Jaune: "Guys? We gotta get everyone out of here. Now."



Pyrrha: "Wha-?"



Jaune: "Get people out of here! That's an order!"



Jaune gets up, rushes to his father and the cops.



Jaune: "Start the emergency sirens, get everyone out of here!"



Cop 1: "What? Kid, we're still trying to-"



Jaune: "The attack is imminent! You gotta start the sirens and evacuate the area! NOW!"



Cop 2: "Listen kid, we're already dealing with-"



Jaune: looks to Nick "Dad? Please."



Nick looks very thoughtful... Then reaches out and hits the siren controls on the police car dash, which goes off loudly. Lots of people look in their direction.



Cop 2: "Hey! You can't just-!"



Nick grabs the mouthpiece on the radio and hits the speakers.



Nick: "EVERYONE! THERE IS A TERRORIST ATTACK IMMINENT IN THIS AREA! EVERYONE EVACUATE! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!"



He punctuates this by holding up Blont Joyuese, and firing a round that cracks like thunder. People scream and begin to run. Pyrrha, Nora and Ren dash out, breaking up the crowds and managing them. The first cop glares at Jaune and Nick.



Cop 1: "The hell did you-?!"



Nick: Grabs the Cop by the collar and looks him in the eyes, while growling like an angry lion "Get everyone out of here now."



Cop 1: squeaks "Y-Yes sir!"



Jaune and Nick head out, helping to kepe people moving. Getting them out of cars, picking up anyone who gets left behind or trampled. The emergency sirens begin to blare as barriers appear across the intersections.



Jaune's Brain: In the show it happened earlier than they planned... It looked like it was the afternoon at least. Now? It's high noon... Why'd they change it? Why'd they-?



He's near the gates when he spots a little girl hiding under a car. He lays down and extends a hand.



Jaune: "Hey! Come on, we gotta get out of here!"



Girl: cries, shakes her head



Jaune: "We gotta get out of here, it's not safe!"



The girl continues to refuse. Jaune sighs, then yanks the car up and rolls it over. The little girl looks at him in astonishment, holding onto a stuffed bunny.



Jaune: "Come on!"



He grabs her in his arms and heads for the nearest intersection... When he feels it. The ground rumbles and shakes.



Jaune's Brain: Oh no-!



In the show, it was barely rendered. Here... It was like the entire world just upended itself. The ground erupted like a volcano going off. Cars and boulders flew through the air. Jaune ran, keeping the screaming little girl in front of him when SOMETHING big hit him and forced him down. He held the little girl tightly as hell rained down upon them. Last thing he saw was a clock on a billboard reading 11:59.



Jaune's Brain: Damn... Butterflies... It's early...



Then everything went black.

Click to shrink...

For a time, all Jaune could hear was the whimpering of the little girl he was protecting, and the beating of his heart. The weight over him was massive, but he channeled his Aura and kept himself on all fours, holding up the weight.

Jaune: "It's gonna... Be... Okay... I promise!"

Girl: "Y-You mean it?"

Jaune: "Yeah! Yeah... Don't worry... My friends will be here soon and they'll dig us out. So don't worry... My name is Jaune, what's yours?"

Ginger: "Ginger!"

Jaune: "Ah, like the cookie."

Ginger: "I hate those cookies..."

Jaune: "Really? I like them but only in small amounts. Guess I'm just weird... Nngh..."

He felt the weight shift overhead. He heard something clawing at the rubble. Jaune grinned.

Jaune: "Hey... Told you! Stay close to me... WE'RE IN HERE!"

Ginger: "HELP!"

Jaune: "HELP! WE'RE IN HERE!"

The rubble was brushed aside. Jaune could push up, roll the boulders off... And came face to face with an Ursa. The Grimm snarled at him.

Jaune's Mind: MotherFUCKER!

But fortunately, Jaune had the presence of mind to channel his Aura into his fist, rear back, focus on enhancing his strength just as Pyrrha and his mother had taught him... And punched the Ursa as hard as he could.

The Ursa howled and staggered back. Jaune forced himself up out of the rubble, holding onto Ginger. He quickly put her onto his back.

Jaune: "Hold on!"

He drew sword and shield as the Ursa recovered and charged. He blocked the Ursa's charge, stopping it dead, then swung his sword! The head of the Grimm came clean off. Jaune scanned around the square. He saw his team and team RWBY fighting several Grimm nearby. He ran towards them, making sure Ginger held on.

He leaped over the ruins of the fountain and roared as he swung his blade, taking out an Ursa and two Beowulves trying to flank his teams.

Yang: "JAUNE!"

Ruby: "JAUNE!"

Weiss: "JAUNE!"

Blake: "JAUNE!"

Nora: "JAUNEY!"

Pyrrha: "JAUNE!"

Ren: "Jaune!"

Jaune: "SITREP!"

Ruby: "Your dad is plugging up another wall bombing nearby! He told us to hold the line!"

Jaune: "Good plan! Let's keep doing that! HANG ON, GINGER!"

Weiss: "Wait-Wait-You brought a child into the fight?!"

Jaune: "She's just tagging along... And... Okay yeah. Ruby? Get Ginger her to safety please?"

Ruby: "ON IT!" Ruby grabbed Ginger and vanished with her Semblance, before she reappeared. "She's safe! Throwing up though!"

Jaune: "GOOD ENOUGH!"

And so, together, all eight of them charge into the hordes of Grimm. And... No, it's not going well. Jaune can see why they didn't dig him out.

Jaune's Brain: Seriously, where is CFVY?! Or CRDL?! Someone, anyone...!

Jaune: "Okay... Okay, we need to buy more time... Uhhh..." He stabs a Beowulf through the neck and kicks it into another "Okay! Weiss! Can you throw up an Ice Dust Wall?!"

Weiss: "I'm out of Ice Dust!"

Jaune: "Crap...!" He slashes through a Boarbatusk and fights back to back with Yang, rotating to deal with several Grimm trying to flank them "We need something to plug the hole... Hang on... RUBY! There's a Dust shop two blocks away! Go check it out!"

Ruby: "On it!" She flashes away in a burst of rose petals. Jaune rushes to a downed police car, and lifts it up with a grunt.

Jaune: "NORA!" He tosses it "BLAST IT!"

Nora lets loose a withering barrage of fire at the damaged car as it falls into the gaping hole in the square. It explodes, its Dust engine going up and killing a number of Grimm.

Jaune: "Good... That bought us a minute... Come on Ruby, come on...!"

Nora: "Jaune! I'm low on grenades!"

Jaune: "Ren?"

Ren: "Low too."

Jaune: "I seriously gotta start carrying more gear-Ungh!" He slashes through another Ursa "Weiss! If we got you some Earth Dust could you plug that hole?!"

Weiss: "M-Maybe! I'm low on Aura!"

Jaune: "Will you try?!"

Weiss: "YES!"

Jaune: "OKAY! Stay in the back! Cast with what you've got!"

Weiss pulls back and unleashes Fire Dust blasts, as everyone keeping fighting. They have to keep moving back though, as the Grimm keep advancing. There are tall roadblocks at all the exits of the square, but the Grimm are clawing at them.

Jaune's Brain: Well, good they have better defenses in this world than in the show... But geez, if any of them get through-!
Ruby: appears again "GOT IT!" She tosses some Earth Dust capsules to Weiss, before unleashing several shots from Crescent Rose through the hordes of Grimm

Weiss takes the capsules, tries to summon her Aura and a Glyph... She struggles as the energy wobbles.

Weiss: "Nnngh... I'm... I'm too low...!"

Jaune's Brain: Okay... Okay... Look... In the show, I activated my Semblance because Weiss was in danger... Please... Please, let me be able to do it... Please...!
He ran over to her and grabbed her hand.

And... Nothing happened.

Weiss: "J-Jaune?! What are you doing?!"

Jaune: "Come on... COME ON...!"

Nothing happened. He kept flaring his Aura but nothing happened. Weiss's face was bright red and everyone else was glaring or gaping in disbelief.

Weiss: "J-Jaune! What are you-Why-?!"

Jaune: "Oh to hell with-" He yanked out his last packet of Healing Dust and held her hand between both of his "Here!"

He channeled as much of his Aura as he could into her through the packet.

Jaune's Brain: Okay, thank God my stupid fanon invention is real in this world...! Come on...!
Weiss's Aura lit up. Her eyes glowed. She waved Myrtenaster and unleashed a WAVE through the Earth, causing it to surge like water. It crashed into the ground, crushing and burying dozens of Grimm that all roared and screamed as the hole was engulfed in rock, dirt and rubble.

Weiss passed out, and Jaune managed to catch her as her Aura broke.

Ruby: "WOOHOO! WE GOT 'EM!"

Yang: "And now we've just got all these bastards to fight!"

Ruby: "Language!"

Yang; "Really?!"

Jaune took deep breaths. He set Weiss down. He stood his ground. Everyone else came together around him as the Grimm gathered around them.

Jaune: "Well... Just want you all to know... I love you all. Let's kill these bastards."

Yang: "I'm not saying goodbye!"

Ruby: "Me neither!"

Nora: "BRING IT ON!"

Pyrrha: smiles and nods grimly "Yes, let's kill all these bastards!"

Blake: smiles sadly, nods

Ren: stoic, manly nod

Weiss, woozy, manages to stand up.

Weiss: "I... I'm here too...!"

Ruby: "Weiss..." smile

Weiss: "I... I won't back down...!"

Jaune: "We know."

They stand there, heroic, ready to face hell itself... When dozens of crystal arrows pierce through several Grimm. A Dust powered minigun spins up, and everyone looks to a Bullhead flying overhead. Coco Adel is firing on the horde with Yatsuhashi, Fox and Cinder providing additional support. Isabel Arc is also with them.

Ruby: "YEAH! THE CAVALRY IS HERE!"

The teens dismount from the Bullhead onto the nearby roof. Fox and Yatsuhashi jump down and engage in the melee, while Cinder and Coco continue to fire. Isabel Arc... Has the Bullhead go higher, higher... And she jumps out.

She dives like an avenging angel, and SLAMS her fist into the large Deathstalker that was leading the pack. It evaporates from the hit as a massive BOOM sounds through the city. Isabel stands up and grabs an Ursa, swinging it by its leg and smashing another.

Jaune: "MOM!"

Isabel: "FOCUS SWEETIE!"

Jaune: "RIGHT!"

With these reinforcements, RWBY and JNPR manage to kill all of the remaining Grimm. Cinder takes out the last three with several arrows. Isabel then has everyone sit down and she examines them for injuries, starting with Jaune first.

Jaune: "Mom, I'm okay. My friends-"

Isabel: "I'll be the judge of that!" She examines him and nods with a smile "You're fine..." She squeezes his shoulders "Your father's contained the other breach too."

Jaune: "Um... We got a little girl named Ginger out of here-"

Isabel: "The rest of Cinder's team is keeping watch on them, but they're all right. It seems someone managed to get the alarms going and evacuated everyone." She smiles proudly at him

Jaune: blush "I just... Well... I had a feeling if the message from Doctor Oobleck was coming here, it would be the target...?"

Isabel: "Good instincts... I-I guess... I guess I was wrong. I'm very proud of you, Jaune."

Jaune: "Mom... Everyone else?"

Isabel: "Hm? OH! Yes, sorry." She gets to work healing everyone else. She lingers with Weiss and Ruby for a bit longer. Pyrrha and Yang sit on either side of Jaune.

Yang: "Nice thinking, Stud."

Jaune: "You okay?"

Yang: grumbles "Some bitch with a parasol... She made me look like an amateur!"

Jaune: "Sorry."

Yang: sighs "And well... We tried to stop the train but... Sorry."

Jaune: "Don't be. If you guys hadn't gotten that warning to us in time, who knows what would have happened?" He smiles warmly at her, wraps an arm around her waist and kisses her "Mmm... I'm just glad we're all okay."

Yang kisses him back happily.

Pyrrha tenses, but looks away. Jaune and Yang keep making out.

Ruby: "Geez guys! Are you going to do that all day?!"

Jaune: "Mwah... I mean, it beats paperwork... Which we'll probably have to do a lot of."

Cinder approaches with a smile.

Cinder: "Glad to see you're all fine."

Jaune: "Yes, you too..."

Pyrrha stares intently at Cinder. Yang nods.

Yang: "Yeah. Geez, a whole White Fang base at Mount Glenn? We gotta keep a better eye on that place."

Jaune: "No kidding..."

Cinder: "Still... Could have been worse. I believe this will do much to discredit their current leadership and make them more... Amenable to other directions they can take."

Blake perks up and stares at Cinder. Cinder smiles and nods.

Cinder: "One can always hope for the future, yes?"

Jaune: "In the end, hope is all we have..."

Yang: "..." snickers "Geez dude. You sound like a Space Trek captain!"

Jaune: smiles and winks "Well, I do know someone who would be perfect as a green space babe. You up for the part?"

Yang: laughs and hugs him "Maybe if you're good..."

Jaune: "And what if I'm bad?"

Weiss: "WILL YOU STOP YOUR-YOUR LEWDNESS?!! JAUNE! YOUR MOTHER IS RIGHT THERE!"

Isabel: While healing Nora "He's doing fine. No need to be jealous."

Weiss: "I AM NOT JEALOUS!"

All the while, amidst the horseplay, laughter and catharsis from survival... Jaune catches Cinder's eyes. She mouths "We need to talk."

And he slowly nods. As does Pyrrha.

Jaune's Brain: Well... This should be good...

We're cranking Jaune into Himbo Overdrive!

Jaune Arc was afraid. Today was the cursed day.

February 14th. He doesn't know what causes it but for some reason every single female friend and acquaintance he has goes absolutely crazy on this day.

Attacking each other, breaking into his house, randomly losing their clothes, and wasting so much chocolate.

He just doesn't understand it. But luckily this year he has Bros!

"Sorry Jaune I'm gonna be busy."

"You're kidding right?"

"Velvet would kill me if I spent today with you....or worse she'd get Blake to draw it."

What are the odds that all his male friends had dates planned for today?!

In the distance Jaune could hear the sound of his doom.

"Jaune~"

A tide of female flesh was headed his way and if he didn't get out of dodge soon Beacon was going to be host to The Great War part 2.

So Jaune enacted his brilliant plan.

He snuck his way out of beacon and down to the weird fair that popped up (seriously. so much red and pink. Why?) and mugged a mascot for their costume.

Nobody would ever suspect the blonde teddy bear was actually him! But just in case he put his armor and weapons on over the mascot suit.

You know, just to be safe.

Spoiler: This, but Nora.

-Pyrrha reveals that she's never actually been on a date before. Her life was too controlled and structured to be on one. So Jaune, after getting shot down by Weiss, resolves to take Pyrrha out to have some fun. Pyrrha is still very shy, but with Jaune and in disguise? She can relax and enjoy herself for once.

Alternitavely, Cardin wasn't planning to do anything, but his friends/teammates are.
Russel, Dove and Sky know what a tsundere Cardin is and also love a good prank, so they send Velvet a bunch of romantic gifts and letters in Cardin's name and organise an entire date and fancy dinner.
Cardin doesn't know what's going on until he's already smack dab in the middle of it and it's too late to pull out.

 

[SharkCultist]

Not a Valentine's Day one but had a Ren idea.

---

Goodwitch decided to switch things up in her class. Weaponless combat and (if you knew it) you were required to use your semblance in some way, shape, or form.

Yang was thrilled. Ruby was not.

"Miss Xaoi-long and Mr Lie. Please enter the arena."

Most people would look worried getting into a brawl with Yang, especially when she's using her semblance.

Ren didn't seem that worried and judging by her shit eating grin neither was Nora.

"This is gonna be great!"

Jeeze Nora what'd Ren do to piss you off?"

"Huh? Oh you guys haven't seen Ren use his semblance in combat...you might want to grab a barf bag."

"Huh?"

Crack

The groups attention snapped to the ring where to their horror Yang had snapped Rens neck with a punch.

"Why didn't his aura stop that?!"

"Oh Ren turns off his aura shield when he uses his semblance."

With another crack Rens head snapped back into place.

"It's funny. You're stronger than me, have way better endurance than me and a ton more formal training. And you have absolutely no way to win this fight."

Yang was still in a daze thinking she had killed a friend.

"Nora? Make with the explaining please?"

"You got it fearless leader! So Renny's semblance is called deaden. Usually he uses it to turn off emotions but he can also do that with his pain thingies."

"Receptors?"

"Yeah pain thingies. So he turns off his aura shield and redirects all the aura into stuff like healing. He even had a guy break all his bones at the joints so he could have bigger range of motion."

"Huh?"

Ren took this opportunity to throw a punch at Yang. His bones popping out of socket to add just a bit more oomph and range to his punch.

"That."

"I'm beginning to see why we need Barf bags."

Luckily goodwitch called the fight soon after. But not before most of the class was looking a bit green and Yang was thoroughly traumatized.

Ren won.

After the final battle with Salem, there wasn't a place in Vacuo that wasn't celebrating. People were cheering, drinking, dancing and laughing. The streets were filled, the bars were packed. Yang thought her smile would never fade away as she made her way through the crowds. Sure, she was one of the heroes who ended the threat, but thankfully the news hadn't spread too much. Otherwise, she would never be able to get anywhere without being swarmed by fans.

She had a very important destination in mind, with a very important person to see.

She made her way to a house Menagerie's forces had used as a base for the fight. None of the Faunus guards paid her any mind, too busy drinking and laughing. She spotted a familiar dark head of hair and black ears on the roof above. She made her way through the courtyard filled with singing Faunus right into the building. She went up the stairs, up to the roof.

Yang's elation was palpable as she rushed up the steps and emerged onto the roof, her voice brimming with triumph.

"Blake! So this is where… You… Went..." Her words trailed off as her eyes fell upon Blake, locked in a passionate kiss with Sun Wukong, who had wrapped his tail around her waist. After a moment, Blake and Sun looked to the side and their eyes widened as they pulled apart.

A stunned silence followed before Yang managed to stammer, "What... What is this?"

Blake, caught off guard, pulled back slightly, her expression a mix of surprise and awkwardness. Sun just smiled in his usual good natured way, though with an awkward tension in his shoulders.

"Hey Yang!" He greet her.

"What is this?!" Yang demanded angrily. If Sun had been forcing himself on her, that would have been one thing… But she had been into it.

Blake finally found her voice.

"Oh... Wow... Uh... Yang? This is what it looks like," she admitted.

Yang's shock morphed into incredulity. "What?! You-You're cheating on me-?!"

"What? No!" Blake scoffed. "Cheating is an outdated concept invented to keep Faunus down! I've just been seeing Sun and Illia on the side while I was with you! It's called Polyamory!"

"Hey, welcome!" Sun grinned. Yang gaped at Blake.

"You-You didn't think to mention that?!" She demanded. "Maybe once?!"

"What? It's no big deal," Blake shrugged, looking a bit nervous, "Set relationships are just-just human oppression-!"

"You didn't even ask me!" Yang growled "You-You said I was the only one! You're still-How long has this been going on?!"

"Oh, since Beacon," Sun explained, as Blake tensed, "Yeah! She wasn't sure about adding you but she wasn't going to turn you down! I can agree!"

"YOU DIDN'T TELL ME A THING!" Yang snarled.

Blake sighed.

"Yang, it's just a Faunus cultural thing. As the future leader of Menagerie, I'm allowed to have a polyamorous relationship!"

"A harem?!" Yang demanded.

"It's not a harem!" Blake huffed, "Harems are for humans! You're all just my lovers and subordinate to me! You should be honored! I mean, you'll be the first human who is in the relationship in a consensual capacity! Sort of."

"What do you mean, sort of?!" Yang seethed, slamming her fists together.

"Well, " Blake quickly explained, her hands up in a desperate attempt to keep Yang calm, "In order to become the ruler of Menagerie, I need to marry a man to give me children. And Sun's a Faunus so he won't be rejected! So I get the position and power and everything!"

Sun, grinning, chimed in, "Pretty sweet, huh? And Illia will be our first concubine!"

"... And me?" Yang managed faintly.

"Well…" Blake shrugged, "You'll have to pretend to be a Faunus. I'm afraid my people aren't fully okay with humans being in relationships with us. Especially not their leader."

Blake, turning back to Yang, offered a proposition with a casual air. "So... You can be my unofficial side piece? How's that?"

Yang's heart shattered as she recoiled in disbelief.

"Wha... I thought you loved me!"

Blake's response was dismissive, almost flippant.

"What? No! I mean, of course I love you! But there are different levels, you know? Sun's been there for me the whole time and he'll be my consort, Illia is completely devoted to me, so you're like… You started as friends with benefits, but it could be more. Like…"

Blake actually smiled almost wistfully.

"Like a wonderful forbidden love in Ninjas of Love! My hidden concubine of our sort-of former oppressors!"

She gave Yang a warm smile and held out her hand.

"What do you think?"

Yang's heart broke, and the rage simmering beneath the surface erupted as her Aura burned like the sun and her eyes glowed like pits straight to Hell.

Two Faunus-shaped projectiles flew from the roof and crashed through the walls of another building across the street. Sun weakly raised his head, then spat out a bloody tooth.

"... I think she's mad," Sun said.

Blake, being unconscious, said nothing.

- - -

The bar was probably the only one in the city that wasn't filled. Hell, the celebrations around it were subdued and furtive. Jaune Arc, one of the heroes who had helped saved the world, decided that was a good sign he was onto his quarry.

He entered the bar-Easy to do since the wooden doors had been smashed into kindling. The wooden floor had multiple holes stomped into it, the furniture was piled in pieces, and the bar was in ruins.

Two stools remained, one of which Yang Xiao-Long was angrily drinking at all alone. The bartender had wisely fled and the entirely stock was at the blonde brawler's disposal.

Jaune slowly walked up and slowly sat down at the stool next to her. Silence dominated as neither spoke. Yang just kept drinking, in between her sobs.

"Yang?" Jaune asked softly. "Yang…?"

Yang shook furiously, before she drove a fist through the bar. It added to the holes in it already.

"FUCK HER! I was... I WAS SO FUCKING STUPID!" Yang sobbed, her voice raw with pain. "She... She just... She ran away! SHE ALWAYS RUNS AWAY EVEN WHEN SHE'S HERE! RUNNING OFF ON ME! WHY DID I THINK I'D BE DIFFERENT?!"

Jaune, without hesitation, pulled her into a comforting embrace. She resisted at first, struggling against his hold, but eventually relented, her body slumping in defeat. Jaune pulled out one of Weiss' Schnee Black Lien cards and set it down on what was left of the bar-Hopefully it would settle the exorbitant bar tab in some way.

He then gently guided her out of the establishment, out into the night. The celebrations were more muted out this far from the city center, and the stars and broken moon were above and shining brightly.

"I was so stupid!" Yang sobbed, "I loved her! I really… I thought I did! It just… It happened so fast, I just… I went with it and it all… I was so angry but she seemed like she had changed and…"

"I know," Jaune murmured quietly. "Hell, I don't think we talked once until the Ever After."

"She was so arrogant and I just… I just…" Yang hiccuped and resumed sobbing. "Like everything we went through was for nothing!"

Jaune nodded, finally guiding them out to a small park. He sat them both down on a bench, and held up a handkerchief. Yang sobbed into it, and Jaune kept holding her tightly.

It took quite some time, but Jaune never let up, soothing her. She sniffled, looking up with her red, tear streaked face.

"I just… It's stupid," she sobbed, "I-I just… Am I just stupid?!"

"You aren't, Yang," Jaune insisted, "Okay? And Blake doesn't deserve you. Not a bit. Not after all we went through and all she put you through."

Yang sniffled, and Jaune used another handkerchief to wipe her eyes.

"... I'm like Dad and Qrow," she whispered, "I'm… I'm alone."

"No, you aren't," Jaune countered firmly. "I'm here."

"For how long?" Yang demanded, her voice cracking. "Why... Why haven't you gone back to Ruby? You... You and her... You're heroes... Weisscream's wet over you all the time...!"

Jaune's response was steady and unwavering.

"They don't need me right now. You do, Yang," he said, pulling her into another hug. "I care about you. All right?"

Sniffling, Yang looked up at him, vulnerability in her eyes.

"... You... You'll never leave me?"

"No. Not ever," Jaune assured her.

"How do I know that?!" she pressed, desperation in her tone.

"Because I'm here, Yang! I've always been here! I took it all! I did it... Because I care about you!" Jaune replied, his voice filled with conviction.

Yang continued to cry, but she leaned into him, nuzzling his neck as she whispered, "I'm sorry I was such a bitch... I'm sorry... I'm sorry about Pyrrha... I'm so, so sorry..."

"Shhhh... It's all right, Yang. It's all right..." Jaune soothed, holding her close. "It's okay… Bottom line: We won. We saved the world. And… Okay yeah, Blake is still Blake, but you will never be alone. Never again." He brushed his hands through her hair, which was soothing rather than infuriating. Yang sighed softly against his neck.

"... I should have fallen in love with you... I was so stupid..." Yang murmured, her voice barely audible.

Jaune chuckled and kept stroking her hair.

"It's all right. You weren't as bad as me."

"Stupid," Yang mumbled as she fell asleep. Jaune then pulled her up onto his back and headed for the house their team had been staying in.

It took a while but he found it through the still partying crowds. He kicked the door open and carried Yang through it. He headed up to the room she had been sharing with Blake… Then thought better of it. He headed to his room, opened it, and laid Yang down on the bed.

He tried to pull away… When her arms went around him.

"Please," Yang whispered, "Stay."

Jaune hesitated.

"Yang," he said softly. Yang had a desperate look in her eyes, warm and hungry.

"Please Jaune," she whispered, "Don't leave me…" She held his hand and pulled it towards her chest.

"I don't know if this is what you want-"

"And what do you want?" Yang inquired, searching his face.

"I want you to be safe and happy..." Jaune answered without hesitation.

"Then... Then be with me tonight...," Yang said, her voice raw with need.

Jaune hesitated, concern in his eyes.

"Yang, you're hurt, you're drunk—"

Her eyes were clear as her Aura flared.

"And I know what I want. Please, Jaune..." Yang insisted, pulling him closer.

The battle had been long and arduous. They'd all nearly died to Salem. He was so tired.

"Yang, I love Ruby-" Jaune began, but Yang silenced him with a deep, desperate kiss.

"Mmmm... We saved the world. Let's work out our regrets later..." she murmured against his lips.

Jaune sucked in a deep breath. He very gently pushed her away.

"You know Ruby's feelings for me, and my feelings for her, Yang," Jaune said gently. "You love her too."

Yang's eyes filled with tears. She trembled and stared down at her hands, still on Jaune. She pulled them away shakily. She looked back past Jaune and gaped in horror. The blond knight turned around and his jaw dropped.

Ruby stood there in the doorway, illuminated by the hallway light. She stared intently at them both.

""Ruby... R-Ruby, I'm... I'm sorry! It's not his fault!" Yang insisted, "It's not his-I did it-Please don't-!"

Ruby walked over and hugged her big sister tightly. She stroked Yang's back with a warm smile.

"It's okay, Yang," Ruby whispered, "Shhh... Yang. You're my big sister, and I love you. You did so much for me when Mom died and Dad shut down. You deserve so much better than what Blake did to you. Please. Let me do this with you. Let us love you."

Yang blinked rapidly and blushed.

"I… Wha-?"

"Huh?" Jaune gaped. Ruby turned and smiled lovingly at Jaune.

"Jaune, Yang... I want us to be a family. Don't you want a family?"

"Yes, but-" Yang tried, but Ruby beat her to the punch.

"So Jaune, you and I will make one. Won't it be wonderful? All of us together? I know we'll get jealous and unhappy from time to time... We always do... But I know that all together? You, me, and Jaune? We'll be happy. And we'll never leave you, or abandon you." She squeezed Yang's hand with a happy smile.

"Maybe even Weiss, if she's up for it?"

Yang gaped in disbelief at Ruby. She continued to smile. Jaune was not much better.

At last Yang managed to say something:

"... I... Oh wow... We are really fucked up, aren't we?"

Ruby giggled and nodded, looking over at Jaune.

"Yes... But we're together. We always will be. Don't you agree, Jaune?"

Jaune, now that he was over his shock, managed a slow nod.

"Yeah. Always," he said.

"So," Ruby grinned devilishly, reaching for Jaune's pants, "Let's make this a real celebration, hm?"

And they lived happily ever after…

Wow just wow. Dammit Blake the fuck did you eat in the Ever after to make you worse!?

Wow just wow. Dammit Blake the fuck did you eat in the Ever after to make you worse!?

I mean, let's be honest: Fresh off of saving the world and ascending to the throne... She would totally decide she deserved a harem for all she had done.

 

[LordofBones]

And then Blake returns to Menagerie and finds that self-made tycoons Shere Khan and Will E. Coyote are now in charge, having defeated Ghira and Kali in elections.

 

[SharkCultist]

Different Valentines day Blake and Yang brake up.

Blake breaks up with Yang because she fed her a Valentine's Day chocolate before she could refuse.

And chocolate is toxic to cats so she spent the entire weekend in the clinic with cramps and pain.

Que Yang trying to win her back but either making it worse because she doesn't know shit about cats or accidentally coming off as racist.

Possibly ending up back together because Yang fucked up so much she enters the "I can fix her" levels of bad in Blake's brain.

Some thoughts on the Silver Eyed Warriors and the worldbuilding I've done:

In the past there were probably a number of different clans of Silver Eyed Warriors-They wouldn't have survived for more than a few generations if they were just one tiny community. So there were a few such communities across Remnant and they may have been in competition. At least one intermarried with Arjun and May's ancestors and gave the Sarkara family their Hereditary Semblance of Aura Sight, and may have produced a few Silver Eyed Warriors every few generations. Maria's Clan was also in Mistral and may have been rivals of the Sarkaras. However, she might have been willing to try and breed with a member of that clan when she became the last of hers.

The Sarkaras still have the potential to breed more Silver Eyed Warriors (though they got rarer and rarer with every generation), but were integral to Pandu's political landscape and so Salem couldn't just destroy them as easily as she did the more independent communities. But she did almost manage it by backing the Kauravas.

Even after Arjun retook the throne though, he was effectively the last of the Sarkara Clan and Maria was past menopause. She also still remembered when her clan was at odds with the Sarkaras, so she continued to lay low.

However, this does mean that Arjun may have tried to court Summer Rose while at Beacon in order to produce more Silver Eyed Warriors for Pandu in order to retake the throne. So why didn't he?

More than likely he was, like Sasuke, hyperfocused on retaking the kingdom. That and, if he settled down as an exile and had children, they would be targets of the Kauravas. So he was saving having any heirs for after he retook the throne, and by then he was in love with Saia.

But it might be funny if he had made friends with Summer and he ran the idea of them getting married in the future past her at some point to make more Silver Eyed Warriors. How did that go?

(Obviously it didn't end in marriage but it might be fun to explore).

 

[Gur40]

i just realized that if V1 Ruby and Jaune had the info Ozpin had they would have solved everything as Cinder plan was simply a comic book plot ! and them being nerds would have figured it out! That's what bugs me about the later volumes as comic book fans they should know the 15 fates worse then death to use on Salem, hell is they made a list of plans and asked Jinn 'what of our plans would work against Salem and her forces, why and why not?" they'd get the tactical info too stomp Cinder Neo Watts Tyrian and then teleport the whale into the void [the bridge plan void] and win

also Jaune and Ruby are the type to go to stores Feb 15 for half off candy laughing

[SharkCultist]

Ok so here's a idea.

Salem has always been a fan of heroes and epic stories. After anime came around she got really big into magical girls.

Now she's got the Grimm set up to run without her, even pumped out a fake Grimm queen and some generals.

She's got a magical girl outfit picked out, a cute mascot character made out of a Grimm. (He wants to maul things so bad but he's just a squeaky fluffy little guy) she's even got a place picked out for her to start her magical girl adventure.

Just one slight problem.
