A Thought: Jaune and Cinder end up having another throwdown, Neo sees Jaune getting some hits in and is so done with Cinder she switches teams on the spot, we get Silent Knight vs. Cinder. Neo may or may not follow Jaune away from Atlas like a stray cat after.
When I first started my fic, the biggest question I had to answer was how they would start to work together and move past just being on different sides. This is pretty similar to one of my early ideas but I thought it might be more difficult, from a story telling perspective.
But
Pyrrha Nikos was an international prodigy and celebrity. Neo and Roman might have been living in warehouses but they had scrolls. Neo knows who Pyrrha was. Not to mention Neo participated in the Vytal Festival. She saw Pyrrha and Jaune together during the JNPR fight.
So when Jaune confronts Cinder again for the third time, and Cinder brings up killing Pyrrha and nearly killing Weiss, Neo could put the pieces together. She would notice the sash too, which was so characteristically Pyrrha’s. In a single moment Neo would understand all the reasons Jaune fights and who he’s fighting for. And who they could both fight against.
Ever since the fall of Beacon, Neo has been after one goal: revenge. With that goal achieved, she wouldn’t know what to do with herself. Vale is largely trashed after Beacon fell. Atlas is under high alert, Mantle is about to be overrun, and Vacuo is a desert miles away. Her choices are either fly back to Mistral and try to make her way in life, or stick it out with the only person in Remnant who can understand her, communication barrier or no
I mean, presumably Tai signed off on Ruby going early, Karen Glass or whatever her fanon name is would never give Cinder legal permission do do anything.
It’s one of those things we’ve never really heard about, and no one ever seems to ask, but this might actually tell us that the Age of Majority is 17 on Remnant.
Emancipation probably would go about as well as calling the cops would, Karen is rich enough to block any attempts, and vindictive enough for Cinder to not risk it.
The chain of events Rhodes was likely going for here would be:
Train Cinder until she’s a legal adult.
Hope that she’s capable by the time she leaves the hotel, since Karen sure-as-hell wouldn’t let her leave with any money, and also:
Have Cinder do what most people assume Ren and Nora did, take some qualification exam since she doesn’t have a combat school record.
Enroll Cinder in Atlas
???
Cinder happy!?
I feel like I should note that I don’t defend this plan, and all the waiting around involved in it, this is just what I think Rhodes plan was.
cinder was told she had to wait till she was 17 to take the huntsman exams but ruby got in early
Oh yeah that was a thing, wasn’t it? Well sadly, Cinder wasn’t a prodigy and I doubt Rhodes would have the balls to argue to Ironwood for her.
Sun: You spent our rent money, on Managerie hookers?
Neptune: They're not hookers. They're massage therapists.
Qrow: *scoffs* Yeah, they'll massage your junk for money.
Glynda: There's a word for that. I think it's "hooker".
Neptune: YOURE A HOOKER!!
Neo, finding out Jaune had a crush on Weiss Schnee their first semester at Beacon: *That was over a year ago, she clearly doesn't like him back... and if she tries anything I'll just fight her to the death. Win-win.*
Neo, finding out Jaune was in love with Pyrrha Nikos before she died during The Fall: *...fuck*
It’s glorious.
Atlas isn’t as cold when your love is so warm
Juane and ruby go missing for a year only to show back up to tell yang she’s an aunt and ren is The Godfather
*At the newly reopened Beacon Academy, a large groups is congregated in front of a new statue inside the school, currently covered in tarps. Of this group consists the remains of team ®WBY, (J)NPR, SSSN, CVFY, C®D(L), FNKI, Ace-Ops, (S)TRQ, Penny and Pietro Polendina, Maria Calavera, Winter, Willow and Whitley Schnee along with their butler Klein, Ghira and Kali Belladonna, the redeemed Illia Amitola, Mercury Black, Emerald Sustrai, and Neo Torchwick, as well as the entirety of the Arc Family and Athena Nikos, and the old Beacon Faculty. They are all seated in the auditorium as the newly appointed Headmistress Goodwitch takes the podium.*
Glynda: Good Afternoon everyone, I know for many today may not be such a good day. Today we are here to commemorate the death of Ruby Rose and Jaune Arc, two of Remnant’s greatest heroes. They sacrificed their lives today precisely one year ago at the final battle against Salem. You here are the many who know what the war was like and what it has cost. ‘Sigh’ I knew both Miss Rose and Mr. Arc, I want to say that they were two of the most exceptional students during their time here, but that would obliviously have been a lie.
Everyone: *Laughs*
Glynda: While they may have not been the most prominent of their peers, they held the most promise. I know for a fact that Ruby Rose was born to be a huntress, but it was her heart that made her a great one and Mr. Arc….I knew when he first came here that he was wildly unprepared for the trials that were to come before him. He did not excel in any subject he was in, and at the time he wasn’t particularly strong, but he more than made up for that with his desire to learn and to support his team. They were…..
*The Audience saw that Glynda took a moment to compose herself. Those who knew Goodwitch always aware that she cherished her students very much. After the Fall of Beacon, she had to count the amount of students had been slain by Grimm, Atlesian Knights and White Fang Insurgents. It was difficult for her to keep her emotions hidden at times but kept a strong front for many years, but she wasn’t perfect. As she recomposes herself she continues.*
Glynda: They were wonderful students and showed us all that even the most simple souls can conquer great forces. As such, we are here to commerate them and those who have fallen throughout this conflict by adding this monument to our newly reestablished Beacon Academy, so that others may know of their heroic deeds and ultimate sacrifice for all mankind.
*With that the tarp is removes and showcases a statue of Jaune and Ruby together in similar poses to the statue at the front of the school. Behind it is a large marble wall to serve as a memorial to those who had fallen at the fall of Beacon and its reclamation.*
Yang: ‘Sniff, sniff’ See sis…I told you you’d be the bee’s knees. Just wish you’d be here to see it.
*The group gathered are so preoccupied with the commemoration to notice that the main doors opened and someone walking through. At the stage, Oscar Pine prepares to say his own words.*
Oscar: I hadn’t known Ruby and Jaune as long as many here, but they have had a profound impact on my life. They encouraged me when I was pretty much thrusted into a conflict I was gradually unprepared for. But they were there for me and I will always be grateful to them. Ruby…Jaune if you can hear us, we miss you and we hope you two are in peace.
*The person walk towards the group, while everyone is too busy to focus on the new guest. At this point Weiss Schnee has taken the platform.*
Weiss: Ruby was my partner and team leader but more importantly than that she was my friend and sister in arms. I can’t say we started out that way, I constantly butted heads with her and wasn’t the best teammate at first. As time continued, I saw her for the qualities that made her a great leader and a powerful huntress. But she is more than that…she’s my best friend. Who I miss every day.
*The person stops to take a seat behind everyone else and waits until the event is almost completely done.*
Yang: That was great Weiss, thank you for saying that.
Weiss: I meant every word, I….I just wish Ruby and Jaune were still with us. ‘Sniff, sniff’
Neptune: You did great, I’m sure she would have appreciated to hear that.
Weiss: ‘Sniff’ Thank you. I just miss them so much.
Yang: Me too, Weiss. Me too. *Wipes a tear with her bionic finger, when someone next to her hands her a tissue. Which she takes and blows her nose.* Thank you.
Ruby: Any time sis!
* * * * * ‘Ding!’
*Everyone in attendance does a double take and looks to her right to see her ‘deceased’ half sister right next to her with a box of tissues. One of which she uses herself.*
Ruby: Everyone has said so many nice things it’s *Blows Nose* So beautiful!
Everyone: RUBY?!?!?!?!
Ruby: Huh? Why is everyone so surprised? I mean I was a bit surprised nobody invited me to the reopening of Beacon and a little ticked no one tried to contact me.
Yang: Ruby? You’re here? You’re…YOU’RE ALIVE! *Grabs her sister in a tight embrace that almost turns Ruby blue*
Ruby: Guh…Yang…can’t Breathe!
Yang: Wait a minute! *Lets her go* You’ve been alive this entire time? Where have you been?! We looked for you for almost a year!
Ruby: Oh, well I was preoccupied with my-.
Voice: Look I’ve already told you I’m a former student here, now if you just let me through!
*The front door opens once again to reveal another guest, this time in the form of the ‘deceased’ Jaune Arc, with baby carriers strapped onto him. He looks over the crowd and stops the person he’s looking for.*
Jaune: Ruby, there you are I was looking all over for you! Man you won’t believe how rude these new guards are. Barely let me in here without a fight.
Ruby: Hehehe. Sorry Jaune! I just got so excited to see everyone again that I guess I forgot to wait for you.
Everyone: JAUNE?!?!?!?!
Jaune: Huh? Oh hey guys, long time no see!
Nora: F-Fearless Leader? You….YOURE ALIVE!!! *Prepares to glomp him. Making his eyes enlarge.*
Jaune: NORA STOP!!! *Outstreched his arms.*
*Nora almost collided with him when she stops mid air, she falls down when she takes note of the little people on his chest. One girl and one boy.*
Nora: Are…are those…?
Jaune: Yeah they’re babies. Well more particularly me and Ruby’s babies.
Everyone: BABIES?!?!?!?!
Ruby: Well of course they’re our babies, I mean Jaune and I have been married for almost a year now.
Everyone: MARRIED?!?!?!?!
Yang: OH FOR GODS SAKE WILL EVERYONE JUST CALM DIWN FOR TWO SECONDS!!!
* * *
Babies: *Start crying*
Yang: Oh shi-! *Rushes to the two infants sides* No, no! I didn’t mean you two! Oh I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to scare you. Please don’t be mad at Auntie Yang…..oh gods, I’m a Auntie!
Ruby: Yep. Also Ren and Nora are the godparents.
Ren: G-Godparents! *Blushes*
Nora: ‘GASPs!’ I. Have. God Babies! *She grabs the boy and holds him above her.* Oh my gods you and I are gonna have so many adventures together! Oh my wittle, shmittle, melittle…what’s this baby’s name?
Jaune: That would be Rowan.
Nora: Rowan! My little man, I’ll take you on all my conquests and together we will rule the lands!
Rowan: *Cute baby laughter*
Jaune: Not even a day and she’s already claimed him. Sorry little guy.
Yang: *Moves towards his side* Annnnd this one would be? *Gestures to the baby girl*
Ruby: This is little Summer.
Yang: *With permission from Jaune she grabs the baby gently and hold Summer in front of her* Summer huh?
Summer: …..*Cute baby giggle*
Yang: *Blushes* ….I’ve only known this baby for five seconds but I would protect her with my life.
Ruby: Yep babies will have that effect. But I’m really surprised that you didn’t know about them until now. Haven’t you been getting our letters?
Yang: Letters?
Ruby: Yeah, the letters we’ve been sending you every month for the past year.
*Everyone looks perplexed about what the young mother was talking about.*
Jaune: Wait you guys are serious you haven’t been receiving any of our mail to you all?
Neptune: Dude for a year we thought you guys were dead!
Ruby/Jaune: HUH?!?!?!
*Both finally noticed that everyone was wearing all black and that the decoration around them was fit for what seemed to be a wake. Including the giant memorial statue in the back of the auditorium.*
Ruby: What the-? JAUNE! Did you not send any of those letters through the mail!
Jaune: Of course I did! You had them all stamped right?
Ruby: …….oh gods I forgot about the stamps.
Jaune: What?! How could you forget about the stamps! That’s the only way to make sure the mail gets to where they’re supposed to go!
Ruby: It’s hard ok! They get so sticky and at the time it was hard to do so without ripping them. I thought they’d make a exception.
Jaune: Ruby, the postal services always check for stamps, otherwise they don’t send the mail!
Ruby: Oh~ I’m sorry.
Jaune: ‘Sigh’ Look it’s fine Ruby, I didn’t check and assumed the stamps were there in the first place so we’re both to blame.
Ruby: ‘Sniff’ Thank you dear! *Hugs Jaune* I love you!~
Jaune: I love you too Rubes!~
Weiss: …..Ruby….Jaune…..
*The lovey dovey couple suddenly stop their affection when they feel an icy chill up their spines. Slowly they turn around to see their longtime friend Weiss Schnee behind them with a shadow overcasting her eyes and Myrtenaster in hand.*
Ruby: N-Now Weiss! Let’s talk about this!
Jaune: Y-Yeah it was a honest mistake!
Weiss: I know…that’s why you get a five second head start. Right now.
*Without a word, both husband and wife race outside the doors and run for their lives.*
Jaune: The kids will be ok right?!! We can trust the others to handle them right!!!
Ruby: Yeah they’ll have a blast!!! Just don’t look back!!!
Weiss: YOU DUNCES!!! COME BACK HERE AND TAKE HOUR PUNISHMENT!!! YOU’RE GONNA PAY FOR ALL THE TEARS I’VE SHED!!!
Author Notes:
Yes i made a JoJo reference.
I decided to add my two OC Lancaster babies. This is not canon to that particular AU but I loved the idea and consider it a AU to the AU.
I may continue this for a little if you guys want. Probably nothing too serious but fluff.
Perfectly done. Even if the competition isn’t over I’m still glad Deery is staying in the race.
I’m laughing at the fact that they still spent all night on the couch when there was apparently a bed.
Councilman Arc AU: Other women plan or hope, but in the end, trust and luck were all that mattered. Being the last two left in the office when a freak storm hits, Jaune and Deery are trapped with little else to do but spend time together. Conversation turns warmer, voices turn softer, talking turns to touching. By the time day breaks, nothing is likely to be the same.
(and this one won! sorry to the other prompts, but this one just...gets me)
The weather forecast had warned them all, yet Jaune insisted on staying here, in his office. He wanted to send everyone else home, but Deery decided to stay with him, not wanting him to be alone.
It warmed the councilman’s heart, especially with that look she practically perfected. Her eyes just sparkled in that special way!
Anyway, here and now, there was a torrential downpour. No one sane was out and about there, everyone was either home or had otherwise sought shelter.
Thusly, Jaune was alone with Deery, a girl about his own age. True, she was quite cute, attractive in her own right, but she was also his employee! Bosses shouldn’t have these thoughts about cuddling their employees because they feel lonely!
Even though Deery sort of looked like she wanted a hug from him.
Damn it, why did he have these thoughts all of a sudden?!
Well, there was the constant and very sudden attention from women who wanted to find a way into his heart and pants, various nudes and the fact that he was alone with one of the few girls he could trust nowadays.
“Soo,” Deery drawled as she lounged on the sofa in Jaune’s office, right next to him. “I guess we’ll have to sleep here?”
“Yeah,” the blonde confirmed with a sigh. “You can take the bed I have here, I’ll get on the couch. Honestly, I would rather have you not be awkwardly stuck in here with me.”
“What do you mean?” Crystal blue stared at him, innocent as can be. “You must feel lonely, too. So that’s why i’m here!”
He laughed and shook his head at her as he leaned back into the cushion. “Honestly, you’re too sweet.”
For a while, both sat there in silence, watching the rain outside. Then, Jaune spoke up again.
“You know, I’m glad you’re here.”
Deery blinked in surprise at Jaune, then started to blush.
“I felt like I can talk to you the best out of everyone else at work,” he continued. “I mean, yeah, I have friends, but I rarely see them after their secdet mission was considered completed.” True, his security was reduced after the beach house incident, but he still saw them from time to time!
“After the crazy I’ve been through, it’s nice to chill out with a friend. You know?”
Some more silence, one Jaune found oddly comfortable...
“I’m sorry.”
The blonde turned his head at the right time, just as the antlered girl leapt towards him.
He froze as soft lips touched his. Deery’s hands held his head in place as she pressed her lips onto his own. Nothing could be done; his brain was frozen, overwhelmed by the sudden kiss.
Deery separated from him slowly, her eyes sparkling even in the dim light of the fading day. The more they just looked at one another, the more unsure she appeared.
“You..like me?” Jaune asked for the obvious.
Deery nodded.
“oh. uh...wow.”
“Yeah...” she whispered.
Then she all but tore off her jacket.
“Whoa!” Jaune yelped before Deery charged at his lips again. He offered no resistance as she poured all her adoration, all her feelings into her kiss. Merely her blouse and the brassiere below covered her top now, though Jaune could very well feel her modest chest pressing into him.
He felt on fire. Jaune could not hold back at all, faced with such overwhelming passion from the girl on top of him.
And Jaune was swept along.
He kissed her back with vigor and hunger, her tongue pressing into his mouth in reply. Their hips ground into one another, hands roaming, feeling each other.
When they separated, their tongues were still hanging out as if yearning for one another. A small bridge of saliva connected them, breaths steaming into each other.
Deery moved first. She tore off her blouse, buttons flying everywhere. As she did, Jaune took off his own top, leaving himself bare. Her bra all but disappeare, which one took it off neither knew.
It was in the way.
The faunus’ skirt similarly disappeared while Jaune undid his pants. hungry, wanting. Finally, both of them were down to their bare undies, Deery’s nipples growing stiff.
Jaune’s mouth was soon upon them. She moaned as he nibbled and kissed them, grinding his erect cock against her own damp panties.
Their patience had run out.
Jaune dragged down his boxers, revealing his erect length, just as Deery pushed her panties aside.
He slid inside without problem.
Both of them moaned before joining their lips again. His cock ground deep into her, hitting just the right spots. The girl clung to him, legs locking behind his back.
jaune moved. He sought pleasure, he sought her warmth. As their hungry tongues battled, the heat continued building between them.
there were no words, there was no place for them here.
Before either knew, their orgasms approached rapidly. Deery unlatched just for long enough to nod at Jaune.
He had permission.
His load exploded into her, her own body wracked by an orgasm. The girl gasped with every twitch of the boy’s cock as he deposited more of his cum inside of her.
It was a safe day, so there was no place for worries.
Even though some shot through her head as jaune picked up the pace again, undeterred.
They would continue to rut until late in the night, where they collapsed on the sofa.
Sweaty, dirty and satisfied.
Why not start basic. How/When do you imagine them meeting?
I mean there’s a couple ways I enjoy it. Thw first one I think quite a few people have mentioned this way already.
They could meet after the fall at some point.
Jaune finds out Neo really only wants revenge. She’s convinced by the group to join their side because really it is Cinder’s fault. She continues on her revenge thing for a while. Then comes these late evenings, where its just Neo and Jaune, they communicate, and he tries to get through to her that he has gone through the same thing. The only thing it managed to do is get him in a bad situation and someone he cares about hurt.
She’s stubborn though, and she only cared about one other person. It doesn’t get through to her. He doesn’t stop, to her annoyance. She keeps her distance from the group, but she slowly gets dragged in by them to hangout. She ends up hanging around JNR more, however it is still awkward.
They manage to get her to smile, not a smirk but a genuine smile. She starts noticing and denying how close she is getting with them, specifically Jaune. It’s when she notices one day that as they’re all walking together she skipped forward and latched onto Jaune’s arm. She doesn’t know how long she was holding it for, but when she realizes what she is doing she jerks away.
She goes back to her distancing again. Jaune gets the worst of it. This goes on for a bit as he attempts to figure out what happened. Sometime later in a battle, Neo is too eager for a fight, and it leads to Jaune getting knocked out of it. For the first time in a long while, Neo’s heart jumps out of fear. She can’t control herself as she finds her body running towards him and holding him.
It’s at that moment she realizes what Jaune was trying to convince her. When the fight is clear and over with she stays by him until he’s better. When he comes to Neo is there to greet him, and she’s so ecstatic he is alright. She jumps in his lap, and he groans of pain. She smile at that before getting angry at him for making her worry. The next thing she knows shes kissing him, hard, and finally admits to herself that she cares about someone else. She jumps off his lap afterwards, and leave the room with him in shock. If he wants her, he’s gonna have to stand up and get her.
The other way is just that they meet up when Neo was pretending to be a student during the festival. And I won’t go to big into detail on that.
But this blog exists in it’s own universe cause I probably will reference being at beacon a bit.
Blake: This is... Progress?
Emerald: I hate this.
Yang: I love this.
Jaune, hitting Cinder over the head with a door: I a-DOOR you!
Cinder, rubs her head: aksdsj!
Cinder, picks up a frying pan and hits Jaune with it: I love you with a BURNING passion!!
Jaune, grabs a vase and breaks it over Cinders head: My heart BREAKS when you’re away!
Cinder, grabs a tall lamp and hits him in the chest with it: You are the LIGHT of my life!!
Jaune, falls to the floor: EYUGH!
I could see it, Yang’s got hangups and has no chill.
Jaune meanwhile, goes all in when he’s flirting, no real fear at all.
I could see Yang being flustered in that situation.
Aww yes. Those ‘Rose Rebound Queen’ instincts kicking in...
Ruby: stay away from my man!
Jaune: your man?
Ruby:(blushing) NONONONO I MEANT MY FRIEND. STAY AWAY FROM MY FRIEND
