Pyrrha: Jaune…? Are you ready for-

Adrian: *sitting on Jaune’s lab* Buh!

Pyrrha: …oh! Your nephew is visiting? *bends down and lets Adrian grab her finger*

Jaune: *gently bounces Adrian* Yeah, Saph and Terra dropped him off earlier. You know how it’s Father’s Day today? Well…

Pyrrha: *freezes and stares down at Adrian* …you can’t mean…?! 😨

Jaune: Yes.

Pyrrha: *feeling all of the emotions at once* So…so you’re Adrian’s… 😰

Jaune: Adrian’s babysitter because Saph and Terra are celebrating Father’s Day, even though they’re both women and want Adrian to call both of them “mom?” Exactly. 😑

Pyrrha: …what…?

Jaune: Yeah…Saph’s exact words were, “When YOU go through an expensive and invasive Atlasian procedure to make a baby with YOUR wife, you can celebrate whatever holiday you want! In the meantime, watch your nephew and stop being a wuss!”

Pyrrha: …oh…of course… 😮‍💨

Pyrrha: Saphron and Terra nearly gave me a heart attack! I have GOT to stop reading Blake’s books…!

Jaune: She also said to, “Ask your badass redhead girlfriend for help, in case she wants your kids someday. You probably could use the practice!”

Pyrrha: …you know what, I’ll take it!

Pyrrha: *scoops Adrian up and holds him overhead* Ready for a fun day with your uncle Jaune and auntie Pyrrha?

Adrian: Bah! 😆

(prompt, original stud werewolf) the aces ops are sent to vale to find out about this werewolf sighting. when they catch it, jaune, fucking a student, pyrrha, harriet offers to *sacrifice* herself for the greater good. they know that is total bull, especially with how she is swaying her wide hips towards the beast.

Platt!-Platt!-Platt!-Platt!

The transformed Jaune howled, as he held the Ace Ops Speedster by her hips with his monstrous claws. The werewolf hammered his golden, furry hips against Harriet Bree's bare, ebony ass cheeks. It started as a reconnaissance mission in Vale, hearing about reports of the Werewolf sighting. They spent one long day talking to eyewitnesses, retracing the beast's tracks, and investigating rumors of Pyrrha Nikos being seen with the monster. Then, during a patrol in the Emerald Forest, they heard wet smacks of flesh & fur, and a girl moaning. Seeing Mistral's champion being fucked by the monster, Harriet offers herself a 'heroic sacrifice', but her teammates see the aroused glint in her eyes.

"Haaah, fuuuck!!" Harriet moaned at the top of her lungs, her uniform torn to expose her breasts, ass, and orifices. "S-So big--Oooh, shit~!!"

"He's so incredible," Pyrrha Nikos says through pants, watching her Beloved ravaging the Ace Ops speedster.

"So tight," the transformed Jaune growled, as he continuously pounded his pelvis against the dark-skinned Atlasian's ass. "Hnngh, so good~!!"

Schlap!-Schlap!-Schlap!-Schlap!

Full Metal Plate

Winter: So, are you all packed, and ready to go… l-little sister…?

Jeanne: D-Did you just try to call me, ‘little sister?’

Winter: Is that alright? I mean, we’ve only know each other for a little while, and I’m still not sure that you’re… Huw?!

Jeanne rushed over to, Winter, and wrapped her arms around her for a tender loving embrace.

Jeanne: It’s okay, you can call me your little sister all you want, big sister~!

Winter eyes teared up before wrapping her arms around her in kind. They stayed that way for a while before breaking away.

Winter: Thank you, Jeanne. I… I needed that.

Jeanne: Any time sis. And, as for packing, I’m all ready to go. Well, bar my armour, well, my planned armour that is. I’m still a growing lady, I mean, look at these~!

Jeanne provocatively gestures to her sizeable chest.

Winter: Looks like… Double D-Cup’s?

Jeanne: They used to be A’s.

Winter: And, you’re fifteen?

Jeanne: Yep! Meaning these gals are still growing~!

Winter looks down at, Jeanne’s chest before looking down at her, C-Cup chest.

Winter: Well… good for you~!

Jeanne: You absolutely seething with jealousy, aren’t you?

Winter: Oh absolutely. Seriously, how are all, Arc woman so well endowed?!

Jeanne: Don’t forget about the men too!

Winter: …

Winter: I did not need to know that.

Jeanne: Yet~!

Winter: So you don’t have any armour at all, excluding your shield?

Jeanne: Oh I do have some armour! Give me - moment, and I’ll show you!

Winter: Alright, take your time.

~~~

Jeanne: And, done! What do you think?

Winter: Not bad. It really shows off your figure. Seems light, and easy to move in. You are a fast fighter, this must suit you quite well. And, it does look like it will accommodate for any future growth spurts.

Jeanne: Yep! I can really move around in this. But, after I reach the peak of my growth spirt, I’m going to switch to wearing some more full plate armour. This is just a stop gap until then.

Winter: Oh? Why do you desire to do that? Light armour seems to best suit your fighting style. Wouldn’t full plate armour slow you down?

Jeanne: Depends on how the armour is designed. If it’s thick, and made from heavy metals, its going to be damn heavy. But, if the armour is dense, and made with thin armour plates, it can be quite light, and easy to run around in. Hell, I can even do a backflip while wearing heavy plate armour.

Winter: But, you don’t have heavy armour?

Jeanne: I… I could do a backflip in full plate armour!

Winter: Alright.

Jeanne: Whatever, just know this: when I get my full plate armour, you going to be amazed with what I can do with it. And, more importantly; I’ll look damn good in it too~!

Winter: Oh really? My grandfather may have worn full plate armour, but he didn’t look that good in it.

Jeanne: That just means he didn’t have any style, just like the rest of you snobbish, Atlasians!

Winter: Like anyone can look good in full plate armour.

Jeanne: Wanna bet? Hey, Jaune!

Jaune: Yeah?

Jeanne: Put your armour on, I wanna win a bet with, Winter!

Jaune: Am I playing any other part in this bet?

Jeanne: Nope!

Jaune: …

Jaune: Ha… fine… I’ll be out there in a moment.

Jeanne: Thank you~! Ha! Just you wait, Winter, I’m gonna make you eat your words!

Winter: Oh I highly doubt that.

~~~

Jeanne: You done, Jaune?

Jaune: Yeah, I coming down.

Jeanne: Get ready to lose, and question your sexual preferences, Winter!

Winter: I doubt…? Wait, what was that bit about, ‘sexual preferences?’

Jaune: Okay… Care to tell me why I’m doing this?

Jeanne: Oh yeah… Momma likey~! So, Winter, what do you think?

Winter: …

Winter: Okay… You win, Jeanne. You can look sexy in full plate armour.

Jeanne: Hell yeah, I wi…?! Wait, did you say ‘sexy?’

Winter: No! No I didn’t! I-I’m leaving! I-I-I still need to pack!

Jeanne: You think your little brother is sexy you brocon~!

Winter: I AM NOT A BROCON?!!

Jeanne: Don’t be upset, Winter; we can still share him!

Winter: What the hell are you talking about?!

Jaune watched as the pair left, their voices slowly drifting off into the distance with only one thought upon his mind.

Jaune: …

Jaune: I got to get out of here. I have got to get the hell out of here!

[jakemorph]

it's insane how back in the 2000s if you "didn't have enough time to finish your game" it was like, we designed a whole final level where you go to the moon but had to take it out because it was buggy. and now a team will plan for the game to have 6 levels but "because of time constraints" the end product has 2 levels you go back and forth between. can you imagine the kinds of video games we could be playing if today's technology and workforce could be working without the atlasian weight on their shoulders of having to appeal to the playstation 6 / xbox 9000 graphics nuts

Prompt

Jaune is ready to spar with Penny, when his new cheerleaders go to do what they are suppose to. While Neon is having fun, Reese is having issue with the skirt keep riding up her butt, and May is dealing with her chest bouncing too much. A very good, but distracting show for Jaune.

Jaune stared at the short ginger-haired Atlasian girl with a determined look on his face, ready to test his skills toward Penny...

"GO JAUNE! GO JAUNE! GO JAUNE!"

...if only his attention wasn't on Neon cheering him on her cheerleader outfit doing a chant that does wonderful things to certain parts of her body.

Reese, the skilled skater was having issues with her skirt that keep riding up her butt and revealing her butt to the red-faced embarrassment

May the wallflower sniper was dealing with her chest bouncing far too much causing many many distracted from the short, hyper-endowed woman who look like she was about to die from embarrassment.

It was a very good but distracting show for Jaune.

[tanakavox]

Nora:Hey, Weiss? Is it all your name?

Weiss:Pardon?

Nora:At the ball? They said your name was Weiss Kara, Elizabeth etc etc schnee? Is that really your name or where you having the piss?

Weiss couldn't help but let a chuckles, a wry smile coming to her face as she crosses her legs.

Weiss:Yes, all those are my names. Family is Atlasian. Being pretentious is the norm.

It was then Nora turned to laugh, giving Weiss a smile of her own, then a thought came to her mind.

Nora:How do you even remember all of them.

Weiss:I have them sewn onto the back of undergarments, of course.

Nora couldn't help but pause at that as Weiss continued to smile at her. She genuinely couldn't tell if the heiress was messing with her or not, and while she was joking at first Nora now wanted to know if it is true. But no way Weiss would tell her the truth but.... she knew someone who would. And before she could go and find him, he came right to them.

Jaune:Hey guys, how is it going?

Nora:Jaune-Jaune, does Weiss have her name sewn onto her clothes?!

The Response was Instantaneous. Jaune was a mixture of shock and bafflement, and Weiss' face became redder then a tomato as she stood up and glared at Nora and then Jaune.

Jaune:Bah, Wha-

Weiss:JAUNE MILES ARC, DO NOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION!

Prompt

Original Male Stud AU

Winter has come back from dealing with some paperwork and is ready to see if her boss Ironwood has gotten Sienna to talk. Of course when she enters the interrogation room... she sees them fucking before realizing the newest arrival. How everyone reacts is the fun part.

(Caught)

Winter Schnee, Specialist of the Altas Academy and Valedictorian of Atlas Academy and the right-hand woman of James Ironwood, General of Altas Military and Headmaster of Atlas Academy was walking down the corridor with a sense of security and purpose in her steps to see if James needed help with interrogating with Sienna Khan, current High Leader of White Fangs.

Reaching to the destination to the Interrogation Room and punching in the numbers to enter the room and help—

Winter paused and looked at the scene with wide-eyed disbelief and disgust as she saw her general and the terrorist leader…in middle of coitus, James was without his pants and paused in mid-thrust staring at her with shocked expression.

Sienna who was bend over the table and her naked tattooed voluptuous-yet-toned physique shined with sweat was staring at her in bored annoyance.

“What….” Winter said softly as her usual professional voice and behavior was gone as her mind was unable to comprehend what the situation she was in.

“I-It not what it look like!/Do you mind here?” James and Sienna said simultaneously as the broad-shouldered Atlasian man was trying to pull out but the Mistrialian bengal faunus prevented him from getting out from her legs and pussy tightened around him.

Double Rainbow:  The Power of Self Respect

Ilia (to Jaune):  I’m in lesbians with you!

Jaune:  . . .

Ruby:  I really liked that movie.

Ruby:  *does a dramatic uppercut into thin air*

Ruby:  Then it was like, bang, and all of those weird coins.

Weiss:  They are Atlasian coins.

Ilia:  I’m in lesbians with you.  I mean it!  Truly, madly!

Ruby:  Then why did they scatter all over the place?

Weiss:  I honestly have no idea what we are talking about.  But you do, so I was hoping to keep quiet and hide my ignorance.

Ruby:  Jaune?..

Jaune:  I kind of want to... not say that...

Weiss:  My ignorance aside, she seems genuine and true, and as such deserves a proper answer.

Jaune:  I do want to fuck the lesbian out of her.

Ilia:  *smiles, scales change to red with pink spots*

Ruby:  Do it!  Prove to her that’s she’s in lesbians with you!

Weiss:  Darling, I do believe?..

Weiss:  . . .

Jaune:  You’re sure?

Ilia:  *nods*

Jaune:  Because once I start, I’m not going to stop.

Weiss:  If you must boast.

Jaune (to Weiss):  I meant I was raised to not take this casually.

Jaune (to ilia):  Which means I’m going to want to keep you, for the rest of my life.

Ilia:  *inches towards him*

Ruby:  Go do it.  Break her lesbians!

Weiss (admonishing):  Ruby.

Ruby:  What?

Ilia:  *inches towards Jaune*

Jaune:  *grab’s Ilia’s hand*

Jaune and Ilia:  *walk away*

Ruby:  We’ve got a movie to watch.

Scars / Healing - @remnants-of-rwby-events

----

The post could mostly be read standalone. It's a future chapter of a RWBY AU (that's been sitting around in the harddrive since 2021-ish maybe) where Salem does the reincarnation thing, and both Ozma and Salem reincarnate in the same person. Antics ensue. Butterfly effect eventually causes Willow to finally divorce Jacques.

However, Ironwood as a condition of custody required Willow for treatment of her alcoholism, and he asks Headmistress Goodwitch to help get in contact with the biggest recovering alcoholic he knows. And the two meet.

The chapter's been sitting in my hard drive for years, and I touched it up a bit. But it's definitely my best offering for this prompt.

------------------------------------------------------

Chapter ???:

Despite the clear evidence, Willow didn’t quite get custody of the kids. Jacques didn’t manage it either. Turns out being an extreme alcoholic who neglected her kids for a good number of years worked against her. Though at this point, anything would be better than awarding custody of the Schnee kids to the man willing to sacrifice them to save his own hide.

It didn’t stop the Atlasian Government from trying though. The man had nearly won custody because he had the “means to take care of them”, and it took an anonymous e-mail in General Ironwood’s inbox depicting all the recent financial transactions of the jurors and judge that made the head of Atlas finally act.

Willow just wanted her kids out of the house, even if they couldn’t come with her. It would hurt, but she’d understand. What probably prevented Jacques Gele from fighting as hard as he could was that she offered to let him keep everything so long as he never interacted with them again. Faced with both his greed and an Ironwood ready to lay down the law, Jacques reluctantly let go of his rights to his children.

However, Ironwood was also uncomfortable with letting a woman who, by all counts, seemed to have neglected her children for a greater part of their life, a lot of it because of alcoholism. So he required her to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and get detoxed and set her up with a mentor who had beaten his alcoholism, though he didn’t come willing at first. He had to call in a favor from Headmistress Goodwitch who threatened Professor Ozpin who in turn called the man in question, Qrow Branwen.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Qrow and Willow slowly test the waters in their first meeting and eventually have a heart-to-heart. He begins to tell her his tale.

Like Willow, Qrow had to pick up his life after alcoholism. He was one of the rare Hunters in the business along with his sister after Mantle cleaned up the local bandits in the area. Going on the run, they sought refuge in Vale and eventually enrolled into Beacon under Headmistress Goodwitch and Assistant Headmaster Oobleck. Team STRQ was going well until they encountered the real world.

There was no such thing as fighting the good fight, just eliminating the enemies of the Kingdom – people who have been neglected and oppressed by society and could only survive by fighting back – people that he could empathize with from living as a bandit before.

He eventually quit being a Hunter but because he had no physical reason for why he couldn't perform his duties, Vale forced him into a dishonorable discharge and prevented him from getting benefits during his long stint in the military.

He eventually got into an unfulfilling bodyguard gig and sunk deep into his alcoholism because of the unfairness of it all. When he started arriving to work drunk, he got fired. He probably would’ve been out on the street if it weren’t for his savings he accumulated over the years from the military.

--

“How did you decide enough was enough?” Willow asked.

“…”, Qrow shifted uneasily, the question clearly uncomfortable for him.

“Err. I’m sorr-“

"No. No. It’s a valid question,” Qrow waved a hand shaking his head, “I just…I just never told anyone about it before.”

“I wish I could say it was a piece of cake. That I did it through my own strength of will and flipped my alcoholism off as though I flicked off a switch,” Qrow said with a rueful grin before sighing, “But it’d be a disservice to you. And as much as James and I dislike each other, he trusted me enough to give you sound advice.”

“You’ve met my niece earlier, Ruby,” Qrow said.

Willow furrowed her brows at the sudden change in topic.

“Yes. She’s a nice girl, even if my youngest daughter doesn’t want to adm-“

“What if I were to tell you that I nearly pointed a gun at her when she was 8?” Qrow deadpanned.

Willow stopped speaking upon hearing that, her words caught in her throat and her eyes wide in horror.

“And that I nearly did it over a stupid prank?” Qrow took another breath as he continued, “Because all she wanted was attention from her favorite uncle who ignored her for most of the weekend cause he was drinking?”

His hands shook as he quietly pulled out a silver flask from his vest.

“So she hid all the alcohol in the house while her uncle was asleep,” Qrow frowned deeply as he stared at his reflection in the well-polished flask. Loathing and hatred and a burning urge to hurt could be seen in his eyes, causing Willow to step back instinctively. “And when he woke up in need of something to curb the hangover and figuring out what his niece did…” the man then bellowed, “he started to demand where his drinks were and began to lose his patience with his niece who still thought everything was still a game.”

“And then it stopped being a game. Because in that moment all I saw was an enemy who had to be dealt with so I could get what I needed.” Qrow let some of the tension in his limbs go and sighed, “And I think she saw the difference too," he looked back at Willow, "because she started looking at me the same way you’re looking at me now.”

Willow’s breath caught in her throat.

He closed his eyes and then smiled faintly.

“I’m grateful,” Qrow started with a whisper that slowly became louder, “for that tiny bit of clarity that stopped me from pulling out my pistol that day.”

“When I saw the fear on Ruby's face, the only thought that ran through my head was ‘what the hell was wrong with me?!' I hugged her and apologized and played everything off as a joke and promised to take her out for pancakes, and everything was okay again.”

“But it wasn’t okay. Only I knew that day how close I came to pulling my weapon on my niece,” Qrow closed his eyes solemnly before opening them again to look at Willow.

“And now you do too.”

“Qrow…” Willow truly didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t reconcile the playful, rogueish man as a guy who would pull a gun on a kid, much less a niece as adorable as his own. And though he didn’t direct his emotions at her specifically, she could feel the anger and rage and self-loathing he felt as he recalled his painful past for her own sake.

“I checked myself in to a rehab facility as soon as Tai picked Ruby up,” Qrow continued on, running a hand through his hair, “During my first year alone, I relapsed twenty-two times and sent myself to the hospital around half of those cause my alcohol tolerance no longer matched my bingeing.”

He fidgeted uncomfortably in the chair, lips pursed, clearly trying to figure out what one recovering alcoholic should be saying to someone who wanted to stop.

“It’s going to be hard at parties,” Qrow continued, “Seeing everyone around you enjoying their drinks while you’re forced to sip on some non-alcoholic Tomato-Lime Sipper will eat at you inside.” He frowned at the mention of the drink before he added, “It’ll be even harder when you’re stressed out, knowing that blissful numbness is only two blocks over.”

“You’re probably going to fail. Multiple times even. Other people won’t understand,” Qrow said, “They don’t understand how much we…need this. How unnatural being without drink is; they can’t appreciate that we choose to go without anyway. Others will judge you for being ‘too weak’ or ‘not having enough willpower’ or that we don’t care for the reasons we stopped drinking enough."

"It’s why us recovering alcoholics stick together, because we can at least understand each other’s struggle.”

“It’s going to be hard. But as long as you remember the reason why you stopped drinking – and keep picking yourself up when you fail, things will get easier. I promise you that.”

A pensive silence but not an awkward one. Qrow sitting quietly and looking at his flask and Willow sitting down and digesting what he said.

“…Thank you, Qrow. For sharing. For everything,” Willow said sincerely, “I think I understand a little bit better now.”

“Don’t mention it,” Qrow said with a faint smirk, the playful rogue returning before her eyes.

He opened up the flask and took a sip from it.

Willow could only look on incredulously with wide eyes.

Qrow glanced at Willow confusedly and then at his flask with an understanding expression. His teeth lined up in a grin.

Closing the flask and tossing it to her, Willow caught it awkwardly in her hands, and prompted by a nod of his head, she opened it and took a sniff.

“Apple juice?”

“You really think I’m that shameless to drink alcohol after everything I said?” Qrow said with a chuckle.

Willow couldn’t help but laugh to that before closing her eyes and nodding her head.

“To apple juice then,” she said before taking a swig of Qrow’s flask.

“To apple juice,” Qrow laughed.
