Pyrrha, With Tea: Thank You For Inviting Me Over For Tea, Saphron.

It’s the prototype that the printer sent Coco, she gave it to Velvet as a ‘photographers fee’.

Not even a minute after the Jaune modeled body pillow was announced online, Pyrrha took the entire stock except one got away. Now who could the culprit be? Weiss? Ruby? Blake? Yang? Seems like a mystery.

Huh. Yeah what happened to it?

Definitely Cinder ‘Scared of Vulnerability’ Fall.

Which jaune ship is this?

Nora: I mean you’ve always liked, you know, shorter girls...

Ruby: What!?

Jaune: What? That’s not true!

Nora: You liked Weiss!

Jaune: That’s just one-

Nora: And Penny’s partner!

Ruby: You liked Ciel!?

Jaune: Okay! Nora is leaving a lot of context out of that conversation!

Nora: And that green-eyed girl with the pigtails!!! You said you were going to ask her out!

Neo: *Remembering Jaune trying to talk to her while she was disguised*

Your fic is looking great so far. But now I can just imagine Nora catching Neo and Jaune sneaking back one morning and assuming the sauciest.

I’m so glad you’re liking it! Seeing people bookmarking or leaving likes just blows me away. I didn’t think it’d be so well received. I’ve never done something on this scale before. 

And oh my gosh! I never thought of that but I can see it. Nora has always been the first character to pick up on these kinds of things! Predicting Renora, Arkos, Bees, etc. 

Ruby already knows Jaune trains alone since before Higanbana (episode 2 I think?), so she might be able to talk Nora down from confronting them. Though Nora wouldn’t lose her suspicions...

I do my best to try to capture the tone of the characters from canon still (until things diverge enough). I think Nora would have a lot of fun holding that over Jaune’s head and teasing him with it when the time was right and Neo is more integrated in their group

What if...

Jaune ends up with one of Ironwood’s fuck-off big pistols.

Either Ironwood dies and Jaune just ends up picking it up, or he steals it during some future confrontation. Some payback strike for Oscar or whatever.

Hell, according to the wiki, Ironwood lost the other one of the set in the Amity Colosseum and never got it back.

A lot of people are guessing Amity is gonna be the protag’s V8 ‘base’, he could just find it there.

Ruby: jaune i think you should get a gun

Jaune: i think you should mind your own fucking business.

Trust me, he knows she does.

Anyone remember the White Fang Lieutenant/Banesaw?

I do.....

I seriously keep wanting to write a fic that starts with this, and they just end up landing within sight of each other.

Then they have to trek an indeterminate distance together to get to the evacuation point back at Beacon or back to Vale. Jaune wouldn’t have a clue who she is at this point in canon, I think?

Feels and bonding would happen, I have no idea what would happen once they were wherever they wanted to go though...

It’s not just that they both lost someone at Beacon. It’s that they couldn’t do anything to stop it.

I might be in the minority where I hope none of the ‘main girls’ become Maidens.

Ever since it was introduced Maidenhood has screamed ‘more trouble than it’s worth’ to me. You get a bit of a power boost but you still lose fights, and everyone now wants to find or fight you. You end up a over-pressured and paranoid mess.

Penny, honestly, was the one exception they could have convinced me on, it serves her arc in a way they couldn’t do most other ways, and they handled it’s effects well, through Fria’s choice through this episode.

It also seems a bit too obvious? Nora less so because the most obvious would be Team RWBY all getting magic.

Can we leave the Winter maiden Nora theory in V7 where it died? Y'all are really hoping Penny dies just so your personal fav can get a power up.

Penny's not dying again, she's already a real girl, and her arc would make no sense if she lost the powers. She'd be running from her conflict, not resolving it.

Nora already has an arc about identity issues and giving her the responsibilities of a maiden would make that worse. Let her figure out who she is as an individual.

Why do I imagine Jaune pulling out a perfectly forged fake fed id, like he just made one in case he needs it?

Abuse of the Uniform

Officer Yang: You’re under arrest Vomit Boy!

Jaune, playing along: Oh, and why might that be officer?

Yang, winking: For being hella cute~

Jaune, flirtatiously: Oh no~ Surely there’s ‘something’ I can do to make this all go away…?

Yang, leaning in: Oh, I’m sure we could arrange something…

Jaune: Unfortunately I’m an undercover fed. You’re under arrest for misuse of government-granted authority.

Yang: Ah dammit.

Had to go looking for this because you’re the only person ever to spell Jinn with one n

Magic knight AU

*a few weeks after salem’s defeat*

Yang: can’t believe this is finally over.

Ruby: i know, me too.

Weiss: what do we do now? I mean, with the relics, we can’t leave them all together, it would be really dangerous.

Nora: then we should throw them away right? That way no one will ever find them again.

Ren: we used the power of the maidens to finish salem, so i don’t think we can use the vaults anymore, and considering they attract grimm it would be better if we threw them somewhere far away from population.

Oscar: why don’t throw it in the ocean? people won’t find it there and the grimms would stay surrounding it, but since they’re gimms they won’t use them, that way even if someone tried to get them he would have to deal with several underwater grimms.

Ruby: thats a good idea.

Yang: sounds good for me too.

Blake: then i think is decided, we’re throwing them in the ocean.

Jaune: well, before we do that, i was thinking about something.

Ruby: what is it?

Jaune: we never really used our third question for the relic of knowledge right?

Weiss: yes, there’s one last question available since we managed to defeat salem without asking her anything.

Jaune: *picking up the relic of choice* then i know what i’ll ask her.

Ruby: jaune, what are you-

Jaune: jin.

*time freezes around them and a blue mist comes up before a tall blue woman shows up*

Jin: hello again childrens, its been awhile.

Ruby: *sheepishly* yeah, it is.

Jin: i still can answer one more question in this era, so, what is your question.

Ruby: well, i don’t know, jaune is the one who called you.

Jin: really? *turns to jaune who’s blushing and looking away* is there something wrong?

Jaune: *face as red as a tomato* d-don’t you wear any clothes?

Jin: i don’t have the need to use them, you can look if you want.

Jaune: *slowly turns to her, still trying to keep his eyes away from areas they shouldn’t stare* okay.

Jin: *chuckles* you’re a cute little one aren’t you?

Jaune: *blushes a bit more*

Jin: so, what is your question?

Jaune: well, you being the relic of knowledge and all, i think you know already what we’re going to do with all the relics right?

Jin: you’re planning to throw them in the ocean, i’m aware of that.

Jaune: so, my question is, are you happy? With y’know, being trapped alone into this relic for all this time and probably for the rest of your life?

RWBY,NR,OSCAR: *eyes wide in surprise.

Jin: *taken aback* what?

Jaune: are you happy with being trapped alone inside the relic?

Jin: …young man, are you sure that you want to use your last question for that?

Jaune: *nods*

Jin: *with a small smile* i must say im surprised, i never expected anyone to make me sutch a question, but no, i’m not happy being inside this lamp, being trapped there alone for more than a millenia isn’t exactly what you would call fun, i wanted to see the places i know on my mind, but i can’t, i am a prisoner from the relic *raising her arms* these shackles are a proof that i’m never going to be really free *looks down slightly* my job is to answer questions and thats what im going to do for the rest of my existence; or at least until the relic of knowledge exists.

Jaune: so, you can’t really be free because of the lamp?

Jin: yes, unfortunately.

Jaune: but what if the lamp didn’t existed?

Jin: it doesn’t matter, no one would risk a relic with unlimited knowledge just to free someone like me, my fate has already beeb decided, i’ll stay here forever.

Jaune: you’re wrong, we are the ones who decide our fates, no one can do that for us.

Jin: im afraid i can’t do that, not while i’m still trapped by the lamp.

Jaune: then lets take care of it *unsheathes his sword coating it in a bright white aura*

Jin: wait, what are you-

Jaune: HRRAHH *slashes the lamp breaking it completely*

RWBY,NR,OSCAR: *drops jaw on the ground*

Jin: *eyes wide and completely speechless* …why?

Jaune: this way you’re free right? Now you can choose your fate and decide what you want to do with your life.

Jin: *stares as her shackles slowly vanish* i-

*times starts to pass again and jin gets covered in a blue mist before falling on the ground*

Jaune: *hurry towards her* jin are you oka…*blushes deeply*

Jin: *now with a fair skin tone, blue eyes, blue hair, slightly shorter than jaune in height and completely naked* what? i’m…human…?

Jaune: *looking away with a dark red blush* i-i think so *takes off his hoodie handing to her* t-take it for now, at least you won’t be naked.

Jin: *eyes start to tear up before she leaps at him, trapping him in a tight hug* thank you…thank you so much…

Jaune: *blushing to an atomic level* i-i-its o-okay, d-d-don’t worry about t-that.

Jin: why did you freed me? I don’t think i can answer big questions without the relic.

Jaune: *trying to ignore the embarrassment and her naked chest against his shirtless torso* w-well, n-no one should b-be treated like t-that, i c-couldn’t let y-you t-t-trapped in there, n-now y-y-you c-can choose w-what to d-do with y-your l-life.

Jin: so, i can choose whatever i want?

Jaune: *nods*

Jin: *smiling and hugging him closer* then i want to stay with you, forever and ever.

Jaune: *blushing to a solar level* wait! What!?

RWBY,NR,OSCAR: …

Yang: is it me or jaune just smooth talked a hot ancient relic into being his girlfriend?

Weiss: honestly, i gave up trying to understand these things a long time ago.

OH DAMN!

Someone else remembers this story!

Really wish SleepinEyes didn’t vanish...

I don’t OT3 often but the thought Pyrrha, Jaune, and Yang intrigues me.
