Hammer Knight: Elm Reacting To Adrian, And The Cotta-Arcs Reacting To Meeting Elm.

Well it did take her six to even find Grandma.

…you know, it’s honestly just struck me that it’s taken nearly eight years for Little Red Riding Hood to meet the Big Bad Wolf. 

Slow. Burn. 

"Of course, she may regain her former partner very soon, when/if Winter defects."

This is Ciel erasure.

Still a fun idea though.

So we sure do have a lot of potential defectors this volume..

I mean the Ace Ops obviously, who are looking increasingly likely to defect all together.. but not everyone will be so lucky as to have a whole team that defects with them.

Penny already defected, and has essentially been fighting without a dedicated team or partner ever since. Of course, she may regain her former partner very soon, when/if Winter defects.

Then we have Emerald, who is almost definitely about to defect, and who has just been split up from her former partner.

And she may even be joined by Neo, who’s been looking equally uncomfy with her situation of late. Which could give us four newly minted heroes in need of a team to call their own...

Anyway what I’m saying is there is a golden opportunity for the v8 defection squad to get together and form team WEPN (weapon).

Because really.. can you imagine how terrifyingly intense they would be together??

They’d just be one big bundle of severe emotional trauma wrapped in a desperate need to feel useful... <3

Vernal: What about these two? *tears open her shirt*

jaune: gimme one reason why i shouldnt kill you.

vernal: because we're alone and we know theres a sexual tension between us

jaune:...

vernal:

~Haven, after the ‘Battle of’~

Yang: Hey Weissy, Have you noticed Vomit-Boy looking a bit...

Weiss: Handsome? Muscular? Noble? I have, but it’s hardly the time or place to point that out, Yang.

Yang: ...was gonna say ‘tired’ or ‘stressed out’, but...

Weiss: >///<

Yang: Got something on your mind there Weiss-cream?

Pyrrha: *Gleeful giggling*

~Argus, Cotta-Arc Residence~

Weiss: *Playing with Adrian* Such a widdle cutie.

Pyrrha: Weiss~ *Pops into the Schnee’s body*

Weiss: Huh!? *Watches a her own arms scoop up Adrian and hug him*

Pyrrha: Weiss I need one! I need an Arc baby if I’ll ever get to pass on!

Weiss: What! What happened to ‘just one night’! Babies are way more than ‘a weird dream’!

Pyrrha: I’ll just get hungrier the longer I starve Weiss!

Weiss: *Schnee panicking noises*

Horny Ghost Pyrrha: *Posses Weiss and tries to get her to sleep with Jaune*

Weiss: *Struggling* MUST. RESIST. BANGING. ARC!

Horny Ghost Pyrrha: Do it Weiss~

Yang: So you and Jaune are dating right?

Ruby while cuddling jaune and wearing his hoodie: No, we’re just friends Yang. Oh my Gods!

Jaune:Yeah this is what friends do.

Yang:God, you two are delusional.

Yang: *The next day*

Yang doesn’t know how to flirt okay?

(Seriously, who thought those pants were fine? In a tundra even. What the fuck.)

Yang: so jaune do you have any turn ons?

Jaune: thighs

Yang: really?

Jaune: yeah

I feel like I need to say this, as I've seen some concerning fandom purity bullshit crossing my dash.

This blog is unapologetically pro AO3.

I support them and all they do, may they continue to do it for decades to come.

So the Arcs are what a lot of people thought the Branwens were going to be?

The Arcs are what the Branwens would be if instead of bandits, they were a grim-hunting militia keeping some chunk of the frontier safe?

headcanon. arcs had a clan of warriors. they werent arcs by blood but they were considered family by bond

Jaune: *Telling Pyrrha how very datable he thinks she is*

Pyrrha: *Red-faced, trembling in place, thinking* ‘You’re so fucking close, and so am I...’

The prom episode in Volume 2 was the pinnacle of human evolution.

Now we seriously need a Team RNNJR Neo outfit.

And maybe a different Atlas one.

I don’t know what I’d do for either.

Consider: An AU where RNJR encounter Neo on the way to Mistral. After a tense standoff, they convince her that Cinder is her true target and that Ruby shouldn't be blamed for Roman's death. She reluctantly allies with them and then starts to realize she and the blonde one have a surprising amount in common. Against all odds, they bond over their shared past, goals, and maybe even find comfort in each other when emotions run high

You are describing my perfect version of the best Silent Knight AU timeline. Neo was already on her vendetta on Cinder. And a quick explanation by Ruby that it was a Grimm that killed him would only strengthen her resolve. And make a nice new hatred towards Grimm in time to help RNJR fight the Nuckelavee. 

Bonus points if Neo catches Jaune training alone in the woods and confronts him. After hearing him out, Neo suggests she help Jaune train late at night.

Then at Haven, I think Neo really could have helped Jaune break out of his fatalistic drive to fight Cinder. He was ready to kill her or be killed. But after Weiss gets hurt and Cinder escapes, I think Neo and Jaune would have AMPLE time to talk about their trauma and feelings. 

Can you imagine RNJR meeting Neo again after Beacon and seeing her in her torn up clothes, damaged parasol, and bowler hat? And while everyone else gears up to fight her Jaune just stares at her hat while he holds onto Pyrrha’s sash???

I just finished my first of the spotify writing prompts and you might be VERY interested in when it takes place.
