Fortune (Qrow Branwen)

Summary: Qrow, Tai, and the girls go out to eat to celebrate Tai’s birthday. They each get a fortune cookie. Word Count: 1,857 Characters: Qrow Branwen, Taiyang Xiao Long, Yang Xiao Long, Ruby Rose Warnings: None Rating: General / No Ship Originally Posted: RWBY Amino (username: MutualOzpining), AO3 (username: akimikono)

Qrow did not want to go out on such a night, but he hadn’t been given much of a choice. Between his nieces hounding him nonstop to train or play video games, and Ozpin sending him on missions one right after another, there was very little time to himself. He would rather not spend that precious free time in the presence of people he couldn’t hide from. But it was Taiyang’s birthday and — despite not having much love for birthday celebrations — both men had been convinced (or rather, coerced) into taking Ruby and Yang out to a restaurant to mark another year on Remnant. So after a mere fifteen minutes to get home and clean up, he headed out the door to meet up with the rest of his family.

The restaurant was dimly lit with black and red lacquer screens blocking off the hostess stand from the booths. The screens were decorated in flaking gold images of wheat fields and cranes. There were more people than expected, considering it was a weeknight and there were many other (much better) restaurants in town. There were better restaurants right across the street. Still, Ruby and Yang insisted on this particular restaurant for some reason.

It smelled like smoke and animal fat, and there was a distinct aroma like burnt oil hanging on the air that permeated the vinyl seats. The hostess, a kind but otherwise unremarkable woman in a black and red dress matching the paper screens, led them to their booth near the back of the dining room. She passed out menus that were almost as large as Ruby herself.

“Would you like to hear the specials?” she asked, voice chipper but the bags under her eyes told Qrow that she was exhausted.

“No thanks,” Qrow said, speaking for everyone. He had caught a glimpse of the sandwich board standing in front of the hostess stand that had the day’s specials scrawled across it.

Leek and Salmon Soup. Liver and Noodles. Bok Choy Salad (sold out).

He thought he would spare the waitress having to exert any more energy than she needed to.

“What can I get you to drink?”

Ruby cleared her throat, folded her hands onto the table and stared at the waitress grimly. “Do you have chocolate milk?”

“We do, but it only comes in small glasses. It’s part of the children’s menu.”

Ruby nodded solemnly, “Make it two chocolate milks, then.”

“I’ll just have water, thanks,” Yang said, smiling brightly.

“Are you sure, Yang?” Tai asked as he thumbed through the menu to the drink selection. “You don’t have to just get water.”

“Yeah, Yang!” Ruby cut in, “Water is boring. We can make it three chocolate milks.”

“I’m training for the Vytal Festival, Ruby. I’m not going to have any extra sugar before then.”

“Why? Do you think you’re fat? You aren’t fat! Dad, tell Yang she isn’t fat!”

“You aren’t fat, Yang —”

“I never said I was! But I’m not fourteen anymore! I can’t eat as much sugar as Ruby! I need to be focused and —”

“Chocolate milk helps me focus!”

Qrow sighed, placing his chin in his hand and looked to the waitress. She seemed confused, startled even. She caught his eye and he decided it was now or never if he was going to order.

“I’ll take whatever’s cheapest on your liquor shelf.”

“Uh … okay.” She scribbled it down on her notepad.

“Thanks, hon,” he said, giving her a small wink.

Her face flushed redder than her apron and she stuttered out a question, asking Tai for his drink.

“Ruby, please — just let your sister order what she wants. Yang, no one is calling you fat. Please, just — you know what? I’ll take whatever Qrow is having!” Tai motioned wildly toward the man sitting across from him. “I think I could use it!”

Without waiting for another word, the waitress hurried off through the swinging doors into the back of the restaurant.

Qrow rested his head heavier into his palm and tapped the tabletop with his fingertips. He grimaced the moment he realized his fingers were having a hard time bouncing back from the wood. It was coated in something sticky and something that he did not want to be touching.

“Nice place they got here,” he muttered, sitting up and hearing the fabric over his elbow tearing away from the stickiness on the table.

The other three settled down enough to gloss over the menu. Ruby had naturally shuffled to the kid’s menu where at least the food sounded edible. Yang was trying to decide what food would benefit her most in the training session that would soon follow after dinner. Tai was staring at the prices listed down the right side of the menu, his eyes widening. For such a dirty restaurant, they sure charged an arm and a leg.

Tai must have spotted something absurdly expensive because he immediately snatched the menus out of everyone’s hand and quickly said, “We’re all just going to share an appetizer and we can eat real food at home.”

“Dad!” Ruby cried, “It’s your birthday! We’re supposed to have a special dinner!”

“Sharing egg rolls is special,” Tai said as the waitress arrived with their drinks. After she distributed the drinks, he handed over the menus. “Which is exactly what we’re going to do. The egg roll appetizer, please. And then that will be it.”

“Perfect!” the waitress said and this time she seemed to genuinely smile. She disappeared to the back again.

“Dad, that’s not fair,” Ruby gasped as she stuck a straw into the first chocolate milk and slurped it down. “We’ve been waiting all year for your birthday dinner. We’re supposed to treat you!”

“Treat me? Aren’t I paying for this?”

“That’s part of the specialness,” Ruby insisted.

“Yeah, Dad. It’s an honor to be the adult in this group.”

“Nice try, Yang.”

“What? Somebody has to be the adult, and it’s certainly not Ruby or Qrow.”

“Hey, kid,” Qrow muttered, picking up his glass and swirling it around. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but only adults can drink whiskey. And what’s in my glass? That’s right. So that makes me an adult.”

“I’m pretty sure your glass is full of future bad decisions,” Ruby piped up, already halfway through her second glass.

Qrow huffed something like a curse under his breath and finished his glass. Soon the food arrived and the three egg rolls were meticulously split into four equal portions. It was quickly devoured and Tai even had the momentary thought to order something else when Ruby said she might pass out from hunger until he remembered the prices and decided against it.

“Can we at least get a dessert?” Ruby exhaled, throwing her head back against the booth once she finished her final chocolate milk. “I think I’m gonna starve before we get home.”

Yang nodded as she rattled the ice in her empty cup. “I agree.”

“We’ll stop for something cheaper on the way home,” Tai said, throwing a few lien on the table. “Let’s get going.”

They shuffled out of the booths and headed to the door.

“Thank you,” Tai said, waving a hand in passing to the waitress. “Payment and tip are on the table.”

“Oh, did you want a receipt?”

“That’s fine, I don’t need it.”

“How about your fortune cookies?”

“Yes, please!” Ruby and Yang chimed in together.

The waitress dug through her apron pocket and pulled out a few cookies. She handed one to Ruby, Yang, and Tai.

“How about you?” she asked Qrow. He grunted and she pulled out another one and put it in his hand, returning his wink from earlier.

“What does yours say?” Yang asked her dad and she broke open her own cookie and stuffed it into her mouth, flattening the paper.

“A friendly gathering is in your future,” Tai read from his paper. “Huh, I guess it means this friendly gathering!” He threw his arms around his daughters and squeezed their shoulders.

Ruby chewed on her cookie loudly and read hers. “A business deal will succeed and you’ll be recognized for your hard work. Yang! Do you think this is referring to the Vytal Festival! Do you think I’ll win?!”

“It’s not really a business deal, but maybe it has something to do with a mission we’ll be sent on! Those are business deals, right? Huh, mine says, Be careful of the company you keep. Not everyone is your friend. That’s ominous. Why did I get this and you both got really nice ones?”

“It’s probably talking about Weiss,” Ruby said under her breath, then broke out into giggles. “Oh! Please don’t tell her I said that!”

“I’m definitely telling her.”

“Yang! No!”

Qrow rolled his own cookie into his palm for a moment before breaking it open and pulled out the small paper. He smoothed it down and read it over silently. “Hm,” he grumbled, folding it and sticking it into his pocket.

“Uncle Qrow?” Ruby called.

“What?”

“Can I have your cookie?” Her eyes focused on the food in his hands.

“Oh, sure.” He handed the two halves to Ruby.

“What’d your fortune say?” Yang asked.

“I don’t remember,” Qrow said, heading out the front door. “You guys don’t really believe in that stuff, do you?”

“Only when it’s something good!” Yang grinned at him.

“Tai,” Qrow said as he ambled down the road, hands in his pocket, “why don’t you take Ruby and Yang to get something else to eat? I think I’m going to head home.”

“But —!” Ruby cried, hanging onto Qrow’s arm. “It’s Dad’s birthday! You have to be with us!”

“I was with you, kid. But it’s getting late and I have some business to take care of.”

“Hey, sounds like you needed Ruby’s fortune instead,” said Yang.

“Yeah, I still don’t know what business deal they mean. I can’t really see myself as a businesswoman.”

The girls chattered amongst themselves while Qrow and Tai loitered behind.

“Are you sure you don’t want to join us?”

“Yeah, it’s just that Oz has me doing a lot of things. I’ve got to get back and work. I’m already pretty far behind.”

“We can just get something quick for you to eat.”

“That’s fine, I’m not really that hungry.”

“Well, thanks for coming out anyway.”

“Yeah. Happy birthday.” Qrow ambled down the sidewalk past the girls and nodded at them. “I’ll see you girls around later.”

Yang and Ruby clung to Qrow’s arms again, releasing him only at their dad’s request. They waved goodbye as Qrow disappeared down the street.

An hour later, Qrow was sitting in his apartment, another glass of whiskey in his hand. He stared blankly at the wall for a while before he reached into his pocket and pulled out the paper that he’d hidden there. He unfolded it between his index finger and thumb, and read it over. A small smile spread across his face.

A happy ending is in your future.

He hummed, finished the drink and set the empty glass on the table next to him. “Yeah. We’ll see.”

Can I say I’m so fucking grateful that someone is actually writing shit with Tenzo. I can’t understand why he isn’t more popular. So kudos for that. And another thing what are your fave Naruto fics anyway? Not Tenzo related specifically, but general. Also do you have a list of faves with the main character being an OC/reader/SI/whatever of that kind? Those lists wouldn’t be automatically the same obviously. Besides Naruto and Overwatch what fandoms are you also into? As a reader, I mean

Yeah, I also noticed there’s very little content for Yamato | Tenzo and it’s indeed a damn shame. A reason why I’m so dedicated for the course of writing more for him xD

Oh damn, my favorite Naruto fics? I had a recommendation list a while ago with list as long as my arm (or so it seems). My faves haven’t changed that much, so I’m just going to copy and paste that last again here in this ask:

Ao3 Kakashi Fics:

One I absolutely have to mention is “Darker than Black” by coriane aka @jyaiin (the fic is also on tumblr). It’s definitely darker than my own stuff and sometimes, it’s just what I want/need xD But her writing style is also very good and the MC of the fic also deals with the reality of being crippled in an environment when cripplement could mean death. A very good read, with lots of nice ideas that I absolutely adore!

Another, lighter one is “Pink Peonies” by akimikono aka @sufferthesea. A great one for a little bit of laughter and easy romance, with the Konoha 11 involved and absolutely cute. I rolled around with every chapter and couldn’t contain myself from all the fluff! :D

And of course, I can’t leave out “A stranger” by @loekas. It has everything, some fix-it fic sprinkled in for Naruto and Sasuke, smut, perfect banter between the MC and Kakashi, and the talks between the Anbu are my cryptonite. I really have to re-read it when my semester is over :D

Tumblr Kakashi Fics:

I have to mention @ellana-ravenwood here, with her Kakashi-fics “You’re afraid to be happy”, the sequel “The best is yet to come” and “Like Father, like Daughter”. She mostly writes for DC characters, but also sprinkles sometimes some Marvel and Kakashi in. But her writing is just awesome and in my opinion, she captured Kakashi’s character perfectly in these three fics right here.

(on Tumblr, that’s basically everything right now :/)

But I have another one on Quotev “Perseverance”, which is absolutely awesome. I don’t know if the author has tumblr or not, but the whole fic is just terribly angsty, wonderfully fluffy at times and you can never be sure what happens next. I waited for each chapter like I was sitting on coals xD

Ao3 Iruka Fics:

“One Night and Many More” by @glasswingsndreamz. Mutual Pining? Check. Awkward situation? Check. Nice, well-written smut? Double check. I paced through all chapters like a maniac xD it’s also on tumblr, just like the author ^^ she has some other Iruka and Yamato fics, too, so check her out if you want something for your teacher and Anbu cravings ^^

Otherwise, there’s almost no good Iruka fic on Ao3, I’m afraid :/ If I exclude my own works for him, then there are merely 15 works with Iruka/Reader, and most of them are collections with all kinds of Naruto characters. Same for Tumblr, a lot of headcanons and short images, but that doesn’t satisfy my crave for the sweetheart T^T

Ao3 Yamato/Tenzo Fics:

“All According to Plan” by @raendown. It must be also on tumblr somewhere, but holy hell, it’s incredible. Yamato has to bring a fake date with him to Kakashi’s wedding, and who does he choose? Exactly. I loved it, the cuteness was almost too much for me and the overall atmosphere is perfectly described ^^

“Bet on me” by @glasswingsndreamz, again xD I said so, she really likes Iruka and Yamato! It’s also on tumblr, so works again for both platforms ;)

As you can see, Anon, truly a list I put my sweat and blood into.

Then, fave fics which aren’t necessarily MC/SI/OC/reader related... the entirety of my bookmark-collection on my AO3. Seriously, I bookmark with the purpose of finding my favorite fics again. And currently, there are 74 fics in that list, with different pairings, different characters etc etc etc.

And other fandoms... I don’t read as much as I would like nowadays, as I have to split my time between writing and working, but Naruto and Overwatch are still pretty high on my list. Sometimes I dribble some Harry Potter into that mix, and lately I feel a bit inspired to maybe add some The Witcher into that. Though, I still have to finish up the first season of Netflix ^^’��

I think I covered all of your questions here! Thank you so much for sending this lovely ask, it was a great read and a wild ride for me personally xD

You can message me through Tumblr or email me (PM me for my business email), depending on what’s easiest for you!

You are welcome to share the stories/headcanons on other sites, but please give me proper credit (name and/or username)!

The story or headcanons will not be written until I receive payment.

Headcanons will be written within 24-48 hours of receiving payment.

Payment will be through PayPal or PayPal.Me only.

No refunds! Since you can’t return this particular service, I can’t do refunds. However, if you don’t like how something was written then we can discuss it and try to make it right.

Stories will be written within a month of the time you pay me and once we decide on a prompt.

Only headcanons will be posted on my blog. All stories will be saved as a PDF and shared with you via Google Drive.

I cannot give you daily updates of your commission since I have other obligations in real life, such as school.

Once we settle on a plot and price, I cannot change the story drastically or add many more details later on.

If I feel like I cannot complete a prompt and don’t want to waste your money, I will decline to write it. I also may decline to write something that’s too OOC for the character(s) chosen.

I am comfortable being given creative freedom with your story, but a basic plot summary and characters you’d like included would really help.

For OC and Reader-Insert: Please let me know the gender of the OC/reader, or else an unspecified character will be referred to as “they/them”. Please also let me know if you would like the story written in 1st (“I walked to the stove”), 2nd (“You walked to the stove”), or 3rd person (“Dahlia walked to the stove”).

*** ABOUT OCs ***

Tell me about them!! I will need a lot of information about them if I am going to be writing about them! It can be embarrassing at times to talk about our OCs, but don’t be embarrassed about it! I’d love to hear about them and write about them.

I can’t talk with you for hours and hours about your OC, but I will need basic things like background info, physical characteristics and appearance, personality traits, teammates, etc.

If your OC causes another canon character to act too OOC, I may suggest we tweak some things to get the story right.

I won’t be able to write more than 1 or 2 OCs in-depth in the story. While other OCs may be mentioned in passing, such as family, they won’t be as fleshed out or as featured as the main OC you’ve chosen for the story. Exceptions are 3-person and 4-person teams.

Note: I reserve the right to refuse any commission without an explanation.

What are some of your favourite Kakashi, Iruka or Yamato fics? From Tumblr or Ao3 If they're reader insert that would be even better😅

Okay, that could take a little bit longer ;)

I guess I have to make a list here, don’t I? Just to make everything nice and neat. ^^

Ao3 Kakashi Fics:

Tumblr Kakashi Fics:

(on Tumblr, that’s basically everything right now :/)

Ao3 Iruka Fics:

Ao3 Yamato/Tenzo Fics:

“Bet on me” by @glasswingsndreamz, again xD I said so, she really likes Iruka and Yamato! It’s also on tumblr, so works again for both platforms ;)

That would be everything from my side! Most of these are multi-chaptered, and except for “Darker than Black” for Kakashi, every fic is also more or less finished. These people are honestly such great writers and I adore their work even though when they don’t write for Kakashi/Iruka/Yamato, so, their other content is also definitely worth it ;)

I hope you find something you like, anon! I tried to make it as versatile as possible :D
