I Might Be In The Minority Where I Hope None Of The ‘main Girls’ Become Maidens.

What do people always say about leaving gold in the tags?

I’m still bitter we never got a definitive map of Beacon.

I want to know the exact spot where Cinder would make a cluster of stone domes with maiden-magic for children to live in.

(Based on an Idea I heard)

But Cinder goes off from the Protagnists, but instead of being alone she starts an ACTUAL Orphanage

As much as I would love that, who is gonna trust Cinder Fall with all these kids? Would redeemed Cinder, who learned the extent of the damage she caused to Emerald and Mercury, want to trust herself around kids even?

However I would find it humorous if Cinder saw a Mistral orphanage that engaged in that shady shit, took down the people responsible, realized the kids have nowhere to go and just showed up at one of the heroes' doorsteps with a bunch of kids like "I need to find trustworthy homes where these kids won't be exploited asap. Help."

Jaune: Food in bed Nora?

Jaune: *Pulls out a ruler* That's a Paddlin'...

Nora: *Laying in bed eating chips* Hehe, Funyuns~

*Eats her chips*

Hammer Knight: Elm reacting to Adrian, and the Cotta-Arcs reacting to meeting Elm.

Elm: BAAABY! *PICKS UP ADRIAN*

Adrian: *BABY GOOS*

Terrra:...

Saph: uum jaune?

Jaune: shes good with babies

#she said with a huge smile on her face

Toko wants someone who’d sneak over to her room at night to see her.

Good points on all fronts. A ton of people say Jaune should have a sidearm, but it just works better if it has an emotional meaning instead of just a practical one. It would be cute if Neo gave Jaune a little boot knife or something.

For Neo, if you were restarting it tomorrow, I’d say to just have her grab a spare cane of Roman’s, or spare parts? Have her rebuild it into a heavy derringer or flintlock thing, would suit her aesthetic more.

I have a question or rather a wish for a secondary weapon for jaune from volume 1 practically ... so if jaune and neo are together I couldn't teach him to use something like a dagger or a hidden weapon in his clothes something like the hidden dagger by assasincred (or whatever you type) or a pistol like the RK5 from COD

I agree Jaune could use some kind of variable attacks. Once I started writing for the characters, I realized how limited he can be. However, Jaune’s weapons have followed his character growth pretty well. 

Vol 1-3, Jaune began with the hand-me-down that his great great grandfather used to ‘fight in the war’ because he didn’t go to a combat school to make his own weapon. He faked his way into Beacon. He had to fake his weapon too, and probably snagged the one thing on the wall he could use. 

Vol 4-6, Jaune uses Miló and Akoūo to reinforce his shield and armor. The weapon can now become a longsword, focusing all of his defense into an offensive weapon. Why? Because he didn’t care about what happened to himself anymore, he cared about fighting Cinder again. He even says in the Vol 5 finale that his life didn’t matter anymore. 

Vol 7-8, we see Jaune shift away from offense (after his talk at Pyrrha’s statue with her mother) and focus on leading his team and defense. His shield can now cover 3 people easily, the gravity dust can repel anyone who gets close, and the shield grenade can protect the people he cares about that he can’t reach in time. 

If anything, I feel like Jaune might take Vine’s suggestion in extending his aura into his weapons. One possibility being what Qrow does. We saw in Vol 4 that Qrow can swing his sword at Tyrian and a building a dozen yards away loses its roof. And those gusts of air as Jaune swung his sword to Pyrrha’s videos might be the start of that

As for Neo  There’s this scene in my fic where she and Jaune go to meet Lil’ Miss Malachite. In my original version, Neo buys an ice dust pistol from her, expecting to have to deal with Cinder’s fire attacks. While expanding her range considerably, it didn’t feel right for her character. I’ve been considering incorporating a dust launcher like Roman had to her repertoire but we’ll see what Atlas has in store for her 

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!!!

**Explosion!**

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.

I know you were probably being figurative but I’m imagining them both in a literal Mom Class. Possibly run by either Kali or Mama Arc.

Hey hey, just thought of that but

We can all agree that after Jacques, Willow is gonna be suuuper wary of people approaching her, right ? Always wondering if they're interested in her for her or for her family name.

You know who she wouldn't have to wonder about that with ?

Raven "my semblance literally tells you if you're one of the select few I actually care about" Branwen.

Picture this : Raven comes to help with the kids, Willow gets her shit together and helps in the fight as well, then they both go to the "Being a Good Mom 101" classes together and help each other unlearn all that shit that got stuck in their brains over the years (Raven doesn't know how to care for her kid and show it, Willow used to know and can help her take the first few steps while Willow probably has super low self-esteem and doesn't believe she can make things better with her kids and Raven can encourage and support her and give her the kick in the ass she needs to start mending her relationship with the Schneeblings)

And then as they do all that they grow closer and start Feeling Things™ for each other, but Willow always has this little voice in her mind reminding her that it could all be a plot to take her company and family from her all over again and she can't make it stop UNTIL

One day

Willow is feeling distressed because Bad Day and maybe a panic attack or something ? I can see her having those when she first gets the SDC back and has to learn how to run it while trying to stay sober and she'll just feel so much pressure on her it'll make it hard to breathe. Anyway, panic attack when she's all alone and no one can help but SUDDENLY a portal opens and out comes Raven, all worried and stuff and Raven helps Willow calm down and then it hits Willow.

Raven has a portal to her.

They have a bond.

Something Raven can only develop with people she cares about deeply.

Which means she cares about Willow deeply.

She cares about Willow for who she is, not her family name.

And all of a sudden, Willow feels like a weight has been lifted off of her shoulders and she can breathe more easily.

And the future looks just a little bit brighter.

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.

Because it was unlocked, keep up.

If Weiss didn't wanna walk in on Jaune and Winter then Weiss should never have left her room unlocked.

yeah WEISS!

~Haven~

Ruby: -and then he just started taking bites out of it!

Nora: Yeah he did! Bossman Jaune locking it down!

Weiss: That’s disgusting! Barbaric!

Ruby: I know right! He’d do it whenever he found a deer, and he’d always ask me if I wanted it first like that’s normal!

Nora: I always ate Ren’s deer hearts...

Yang: Is this just a thing now? Was Vomit-Boy that weird when we were at school?

Blake: Wait- Where did Jaune grow up again? Do you know?

Ruby: Uhhh...Ansel? East of Vale? He’d go camping out in Anima though so he knew where to-

Blake: Hmmmm.... *Locking eyes with a giddy Nora*

Ruby: What? Does that matter?

Blake: Well in many regions of rural Sanus the heart goes to the youngest in the group to help them grow stronger.-

Ruby: I’m barely younger! And I don’t need a heart to g-

Blake: But on Anima, it’s a romantic gesture.

Weiss: It WHAT!?

Yang: Wha-ha-ha-hat?

Blake: It’s a confession, or if you want to be more literal, ‘I am asking permission to romantically pursue you’ it’s actually how Valentine’s Day started.

Weiss: How could that be considered romant-

Ruby: I was supposed to eat it!?

Yang: D’aaaw... poor Jauney, had his poor gross deer heart broken again...

Nora: You wish~~~

Weiss:...Ruby you didn’t-

Ruby: I didn’t even touch it!

Nora: Tell ‘em Blakey!

Blake: *Sighs* A rejection would have been tossing it on the ground, or even passing it on to another person, Ruby, you said he could have it every time?

Ruby: Y-Yeah, but I didn’t know any-

Nora: *Hyperactive Squealing*

Weiss: QUIET! Blake! What does that mean?

Blake: *Fidgeting with pages, looking away* Well, it varies, but-

Yang: WHAT’S IT!?

Blake:...’I am already yours’...

Nora: *Cheering*

Weiss & Yang: *Angry Stammering*

Ruby: *Panicking Rose Noises*

random idea for my head cannon of jaune

walking through remnant was a long and drawn-out process. especially when you didn’t pack rations before you set out. ruby would argue that she had a lot to think about before leaving but she knew she’d screwed up. she was taught to fight not to plan a caravan. luckily jaune knew how to hunt and process his kills, sure it was sad to kill a cute bunny or a gentle deer but hey they had to eat law of nature. she only cried a little  the bad news was that jaune processed the kills while they were around. and seeing her crush bestie friend ripping the guts out of an animal before skinning it. she got a little sick to her stomach.  Jaune: “okay, ruby you want the heart?” *still got his hands covered in the deer* Ruby: *kinda scared* “what?” Nora: *gasps* “Renny it’s happening!” Ren: *pleasantly surprised* “ahead of schedule as well, congratulations ruby” Ruby: “why am I being congratulated? what’s going on” Jaune: “the hearts something that can be eaten raw, I wanted to know if you wanted it” Ruby: “okay funny guys, really funny. you almost had me” *looks around* “you’re joking, right?” Jaune: “as serious as a heart attack” Nora: *gasps* Ren: *smiles happily* Ruby: “I couldn’t” jaune: “I don’t mind, you should have it” Ren: *shakes his head, still smiling* Nora: *pantomimes eating* Ruby: *panicking*  “YOU EAT IT!” Nora: “ohmygodohmygodohmygod,” *grabs ren by the shirt and shakes him* “IT’S HAPPENING!” jaune: *shrugs and takes a bite out of the heart like an apple* Nora/Ren: *applauding* Ruby: *face pales* *softly to herself* “what the heck” ———————————————————————————————————– so fun fact about deer hearts they can be eaten raw. in vale the heart is traditionally given to the youngest member of the group to help them grow strong in minstral the heart is given to someone you care about and is seen as something romantic  in the kingdoms, proper no one eats deer heart  so three different things were happening during this story for Nora and ren, it was jaune giving a romantic gesture (a very major one) to ruby who then reciprocated (in a major way) basically announcing that they would be courting each other  jaune made a kill and as a skilled hunter offered the best part to ruby who was the youngest as a gesture to show he cared about her. but she didn’t like deer heart so he ate it for her ruby just watched her … jaune, kill an animal rip its guts out through its butt cut off its skin then eat the heart out of it still raw after offering it to her
