Jaune Arc of Orleans

An Uncomfortable Journey

Seriously?" Jaune whined as he held a device of pure malice and dread in his hands. It was an amalgamation of plastics, metal and circuitry.

"Listen kid." the stubbly, grimy and partially drunk man accompanying him spoke. "You wanted to go to Beacon..."

"I NEED to go to Beacon!" Jaune snapped at Qrow. "I NEED to!"

"Okay, okay, take it down a notch." Qrow lifted his hands in a pacifying motion. "YOU need to be at Beacon and the only way your scary as fuck mom would let that happen is if ONE I escort you there myself. TWO I swear on my life that you will remain physically safe and unharmed."

Qrow took a swig from his flask before continuing.

"THREE that I guarantee that as she put it, some loose legged hussy didn't get her hands on you..." Qrow grumbled, "and FOUR that I make sure when we are not in our private quarters that you wear a chastity belt to preserve your virtue for your future wife."

"This is stupid!" Jaune shouted as he threw the abomination ineffectually against the wall of their cabin. "Girls don't..."

"Exactly. Girls don't, and to be honest most guys don't either... you however are... special."

"Yeah special." Jaune grumbled as he dropped his ass onto the second of the two narrow beds that lined the walls of the private cabin. "So special that I'm being auctioned off to the highest bidder as a husband."

"Jaune I'm sorry that you're in this situation. I am." Qrow offered, "But you are not so stupid to not understand what is going on. You're a male from a reputable and distinguished family."

"I know, and of course that fact that Orleans is not only sitting on massive light dust deposit as well as the largest and most accessible Mutable Dust deposit on Remnant."

"Yeah, both of which your family has controlling interest in."

"But not the capital resources to engage in efficient and full scale mining operations."

"I knew you were smart kid."

"Doesn't change anything." Jaune snapped.

"Didn't say it did." Qrow replied. "Now if you don't have anything else but complaints I suggest we both take this chance and have a nap."

"And if I don't feel like it and want to explore?"

"Put on the belt, and have at it." Qrow had to suppress a chuckle at the sudden downtrodden look that crossed the young man's boyish features. "You know I'll unlock it as soon as you get back."

"I still hate it." Jaune grumbled.

"Then have a nap, or read something on your scroll. Play a game, or pray." Qrow suggested, "Just DO NOT leave this room without that belt on, or your mom will skin and tan both our asses. Understood?"

"Yeah, yeah." Jaune muttered as he climbed fully on to his bunk and rolled over his back facing Qrow who was lounging on his own bunk. Qrow remained flat on his back, his head tilted just enough that he could keep an eye on his travelling companion.

Qrow understood Jaune's frustrations. But there wasn't much that he could do to ease them. That damnable plague had forever changed the ratio of male to female... in the favor of females. Which did provide some plentiful opportunities for the more adventurous men of the world. But for those males born into more affluent or traditionalist leaning families, it was a suffocating weight upon their shoulders.

Being male was almost a curse. Your options for employment, schooling, recreation were severely limited by politicians, doctors and officials intent on keeping what remained of the those human and faunus that bore the XY chromosomes.

Qrow was an outlier. HIs skills, temperament and semblance making him much more suited for a role that for the last century and a half was a female dominated occupation. Yet as he watched his young charge, slowly succumb to sleep, Qrow thought that Jaune could be an outlier like himself. That thought caused the often drunken man to sigh, and silently hope that he was mistaken.

==> Table of Contents <==

Mutable Dust = A rare gray coloured dust that when mixed with other dusts takes on the properties of said dust. The ration is 30/70, so if 6 kilos of pure fire dust is cut with 2 kilos of mutable dust you in fact now have the equivalent of 8 kilos of pure fire dust.

okay imma finish this but yall have to promise to hype it up >3>

[madmanwonder]

(Ask Crossover) When people talk about Tai, they always mention "the whole team". Is that true Qrowe that he did it with the whole team, including you?

Crossover?

“Not. A. Word.” Qrowe grumbled about the damn old joke about Tai and the “Whole Team”.

The Blackbird: Chapter 7

Pairing: Stella x (Fem!)MC (Cirrus Qrow)

Chapter Summary: After the Trials, you and Stella return to Alfea. However, you're nervous to see everyone's reactions to your new addition to your physical characteristic.

Chapter Warning(s): Swearing

Chapter Theme: Somewhere only We Know - Keane

Chapter Key: Italics = Thoughts, +*+ = Time Skip

A/n: None

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

The both of you exit the vehicle and the driver helps you with your bags and the both of you see Bloom, Aisha, Musa, Terra and Kat waiting for the both of you at the front.

Stella's roommates hug the ever-loving hell out of Stella. Kat gives you a careful hug.

You walk up to Silva as all of the specialists eyes turn to you.

"Ahh, the Qrow has returned," He greets you

"Headmaster Silva," You greet him back

"How are your injuries?" He asks

"Just about gone," You answer

"Show us the wings!" Riven shouts

You look over to see Sky elbowing him. You chuckle, but you look around to everyone's eyes.

"Fine... Fine," You say

They appear by will and everyone begins to crowd around you, observing your new look.

"I hope this doesn't slow you down in your physique Cirrus," Silva states

"Not at all Silva," You say

"Tough gawking everyone, get back to work!" Silva yells

+*+

After training, you meet with Stella in her suite. The both of you lay in her bed, entangled in each others' embrace.

"Stella, care to join us out at Blackbridge?" Bloom calls from the common room

"As if I'm going to allow to give the commoners the satisfaction of them seeing my girlfriend," She says, "Have fun..."

"Come on, you barely go out!" Terra states

"Another time," You say

"You'll miss out then!" Bloom teases the both of you as they leave

"You're jealous that people will oggle at me?" You look down at her

"No, I just didn't feel like going," She says, "I just want to spend time with you."

"You have to make sure you'll make time for your friends too," You say, "I can't be your first choice all the time.. It's been about a week since we've returned."

"Fine," She says, "But, tonight... I just want to be with you. I almost lost you..."

"It should be the other way around," You say

"Either way, we almost lost each other," She says

"What was your mother thinking when she made the trials?" You ask

"She looked for someone with power," She says, "Once she saw you with The Blackbird, she began questioning everything that she did."

"How did she allow Darius, being controlled by Shadows to compete for your hand?" You ask

"They managed to slip by undetected," She says

"Your mother needs better guards or a system that detects things like that," You sigh

"Don't let my mother catch you saying that," Stella chuckles

+*+

The night grows into the room as the both of you lay in blissful silence.

"Love, I'm cold," Stella tells you, her hand trailing under your shirt

"We have a blanket right underneath us, princess...." You say, nearly gasping at her cold hand

"But I want your wing to warm me," She begins to beg

"You're insatiable," You chuckle

You sit up from the bed and your wings appear out of the slits in the back of your shirt. Lately, you've been having to cut holes in the back of your shirts, and jackets. You even had to get your uniform updated to compensate for your wings. It was a lot.

"you know," You begin, laying back down onto the bed, "Riven has been asking to see my wings every time we train."

"That man doesn't know when to stop," Stella rests her chin on your clavicle

"But, he's calmed down a lot since getting together with Musa," You say, "Like she's the only one who knows how to put him in his place when he needs to."

Your wing curls around Stella.

"Did I tell you that your wings are so soft?" She smiles

"Not until right now," You smile back

*Flora's POV* You open the door to your room after a night with your friends however, stop. You notice many molted back feathers all over the floor, and then see Stella wrapped in a black blanket... Well, it wasn't a blanket.

"Is that... Cirrus?" Musa peeks her he'd in the door

"Yeah, she's like... a bird," You try to guess

"Well, her last name is Qrow," Terra points out

"You know, if they get married, will Stella have Cirrus' last name?" Bloom asks

"Okay, that's enough, let the Princess and the bird sleep," Aisha shoos them back to their rooms

*Stella's POV* It was graduation day in the blink of an eye... You didn't want to leave your friends... But, you were also semi-excited to see what lay ahead of you, and Cirrus...

"I would like to bring up to the stage, The Crown Princess of Solaria, Stella," Silva announces

You slowly make your way to the stage, you look out to the audience and see Cirrus in the crowd of graduates.

"Coming to Alfea, I already had my life set out before me," You begin, "Become the Queen of Solaria, have a child of my own... But, after bonding with my suite mates, I realized that there was more to what my life was... I didn't realize until there were people I needed in my life. It really made me think about my life, and what I wanted... Although most of us may have a goal of where we want to be, don't forget the people that come in your life. To my girls, thank you; for everything, even when I was being my stubborn self, you lot always knew when to be there. To my love, Cirrus Qrow, you've brought out the best in me. I cannot imagine my life without you. To the life we'll make!"

Everyone cheers...

+*+

"So, Stella, what's your plans after tonight?" Kat asks

Your head turns and sees Cirrus talking with your suite mates...

"Traveling, Taking the crown, and at some point.... Hopefully, have a queen to rule at my side," You explain

"Snagging the Blackbird huh?" She teases

"Well, she snagged me first," You continue watching her

+*+

Once the party died down, you grab Cirrus to sneak away onto the grounds of Alfea, wanting to take one more gander of the school before you leave for good.

"Will you actually take the crown?" Cirrus asks

"When my mother decides to retire as queen," You explain, "And I want you, and my friends to be there with me."

"Are you sure you want someone... A commoner being at your side?" She asks

"Cirrus, I want you, and only you specifically to be at my side," You hold her face in your hands, "Not only you bring the best out in me, you know when to put me in my place; not everyone was able to stand up to a princess."

"Well, sometimes sunlight needs some darkness," She says

"I love you, Cirrus Qrow," You say

"And I love you, Stella," She replies

Epilogue

[bunnyyyuu]

Long rant I'm so sorry </3

I got curious again (I really shouldn't) so I went to that SENSITIVE ASS BITCH'S blog and the amount of ppl cheering for the removal of Yuujiology's account makes me sick.

LEGIT JUST BLOCK!! There's so so SO many fics where the reader calls the jjk men (or boys) daddy, yet people drool for it. There's SO many "taboo" fics where people beg for more, and it's ALWAYS sub fem reader.

The MOMENT we dom male/gn readers get something, it's fucking taken from us. I hate people, they need to mind their own fucking business.

And someone was shocked that we would side with Yuujiology? Like what. Why wouldn't we? You guys suck everything fun out of a fandom, ofc we'd be against you.

- 🐦‍⬛ Anon [Qrow]

idm the rant <33

but YES ITS SO LAME!! u can block people if u dont want to read stuff, no one is stopping u. i dont understand why ppl act like that button aint there for a reason!!

unfortunately, i think people see queer dark fics as more inherently wrong than straight ones. which SUCKS.

hopefully the goat yuujiology will return (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू)

Nitpick November 17

Okay, why don't we get more about Remnant's food cultures? I think food is a wonderful way to have environmental story telling and a wonderful to develop characters. It can also make a place feel more real.

I want to know what are most common and popular meals at each academy? I want to know if the food is any good at the dining halls? I want to have story telling by food.

More ideas below

I want to see more cultural exchange with food in the show. In maybe as part of Weiss's series redemption arc have one of the ways she opens her mind is learning how to cook and cook a variety of different cultures foods. Where she can learn more about the peoples and cultures. I want to see the progression of all the Schnee cooking journeys were all of them have learned the hard away of not putting metal in the microwave.

I want to see Ruby connecting with Summer with her cookie recipes.

I want to see if Qrow is a good cook. I have it head cannoned that he is a stellar cook, however has worked as a line cook. Giving the Sexually Competent Dirt bag line cook he has.

I want to see the trail rations hunters have. Are they any good. Do they vary region to region.

If RWBY wants to really be anime, shift away from the objectification of Women and Fems especially BIPOC. And give use food porn that rivals Ghibli

This might just be me since I am a big cook, I have worked as a bartender, have been cooking since I was four and love media with cooking as a part of the story and I wish there was RWBY could have this.

Jaune Arc of Orleans

Words of Woe Tidings

Jaune found himself walking through a quiet forest. The air was still, but cool. The foliage surrounding him was vibrant shades of green. Jaune had been in this place before. Many times in fact. It was here that he conversed with the Light. This was a place of reverence to Jaune. A sanctuary from the harsh realities of his reality.

He continued to walk through the glade, following a well worn foot path, that cut through the mossy undergrowth. There was no sound. Not the buzz of insects nor the chirp of birds. Not even the rustle of leaves in a soft breeze. No there was only peaceful grave like silence.

Jaune never could fathom the distances he would traverse in this place. Sometimes he was but a couple steps from the clearing. Other times, much like this it felt as if he had been walking for minutes if not hours. Yet, like always he entered the small clearing, and at the nexus of multiple worn walking trails it sat.

A stone chair, much like how a throne would be depicted in fantasy artwork. It's glossy black surface speckled with flecks of white. It resembled a discarded fragment of the night sky. However this time, unlike the others the Light was not seated upon it. In fact there was no sign of that ethereal being, within the confines of the clearing.

Jaune was confused and concerned. Never in any of his travels to this sacred place had this happened. Never had he ever been in the clearing alone. The rustle of leaves and the snap of branches startled Jaune, causing him to whip about and look behind himself.

His eyes grew wide as he stumbled backwards the color draining from his terror twisted face. It was a massive creature of ink-like flesh, blazing violent red eyes, and bleached bone colored plates. It's great maw was open, displaying fouled dagger like teeth, a twisting sinuous tongue and dripping viscus drool.

The creature stepped from edge of the clearing into full view, and Jaune's body collapsed to the ground, all his strength having fled him. It stalked forward, it's great hooved feet crushing the vibrant grass into the dirt.

Jaune wanted to scream. He wanted to cry for help, but his voice was trapped with in his dry throat. Completely helpless he watched as the abomination closed upon him.

Jaune noticed a blur of motion out of the corner of his right eye. A fraction of a moment later an equally as tall, but not nearly as massive being of golden light slammed into the monster's side. The massive antlers forming a regal crown upon its head. Jaune knew who if was... there was no doubt. The Light had come to save him.

Still unable to use his voice Jaune just watched as a pitched battle ensued between the the Light and the monstruous beast. A fist composed of golden light slammed into the creature's jaw filling the air with the sound of snapping bone, followed by an agonized howl. Yet still the beast fought. Curved claws of bone slash and racked the air, narrowly missing the Light, as it ducked and weaved around the brutally powerful strikes.

The Light ducked to the side, under a wild slash of the creature's claws, and locked its sleek but powerful arms about the beast's neck. Jaune swallowed as corded muscles flexed, the abomination squealed in rage and pain, then fell silent. Jaune found some of his strength returning and quickly climbed to his knees and bowed low before the being of gold.

"The darkness even now still tries to invade my sanctuary." the Light spoke its voice sounding like the light chiming of bells. "Are you well, Jaune?"

"I am, thank you for saving me, my Lord."

"I would be indeed a poor host if I were to allow harm to befall those who I invite to refuge. Look upon me, Jaune."

"Yes, my Lord?"

"Flesh of shadows, armor of bone, and eyes a burning red approach you." the Light spoke, his featureless face aimed directly at Jaune.

"Are we going to be attacked?" Jaune asked.

"Awaken Jaune, darkness encroaches..."

"My Lord?"

"Awaken Jaune, death approaches..."

"My Lord, I..."

"Awaken Jaune, awaken..." the Light passed one of its great hands past Jaune's face.

Jaune's eyes snapped open and he bolted to seating upon his bed. He was drenched in sweat, and gasping for breath.

[joshy-tomato]

Suddenly I recalled how one of the earliest theories about Oscar was he being a pre-transition spring maiden or the spring maiden possing as a boy (crazy times, i know) and my sleep deprived brain was like "you know what, that should be an au".

Like, imagine the original spring, the one that canon Raven killed, was able to tough up and Raven decided that she may be able to survive. However she was killed by grimm a few months after the Fall of Beacon. Not wanting to put the tribe in more danger than they already where just by taking her, she dicides to think on some random dude of the tribe or on the grimm attacking her, believing this way Salem wouldnt go after the tribe. So the power ended choosing a random host, that ended being Oscar, who had been recently questioning her gender and suddenly got the confirmation that she was, indeed, a girl.

Maybe she ended in the same white plane with Spring, has Penny and Winter did in Volume 8, and Spring told her to go into hiding and while doing that she found Ruby's group in Mistral, after Qrow told Leonardo that Raven could have the Spring Maiden.

Extra things:

The name I usually use for Fem/Trans girl!Oscar is Ambrosia "Amy" Pine.

Raven and Cinder plot could go that, after Spring death and Salem forces coming to the tribe, Raven and Vernal got scared and decided to pretend that Vernal was the Spring Maiden, maybe using Vernal semblance to trick Cinder. Their plan was that the night of the attack the tribe would evacuate and they would use the scandal of the fight to flee. That plan did not go well.

Who is Oz host now? Im not sure. Could be Amy still, that could be tragically hilarious. Im also thinking on Jaune, that is honestly an idea that I think is so tragic that I love it. Like, he lost his partner and love interest because of Maiden businesses, the man he partially blames for it is now part of him and that little girl that his becoming his new combat partner and surrogate little sister is a maiden too, and he and Oz blame themselves for ruining her life, believing that Amy deserved the life of a normal girl.

Amy temporarily hides her status as maiden by posing as a boy, but after Haven and with Leonardo and Cinder dealed with she ditches that. Weiss, Nora and Ruby helped with the overhaul, combat skirt on the way.

Thinking a way (excuse) for the group to still have to scort the lamp to Atlas (I to get Jinn to spill the tea) im thinking, the reason why they couldn't keep the Lamp in the vault is because Amy used the vault to temporarily seal Cinder inside, and for that they had to take the Lamp out. Amy and Yang having to go down the vault to save Raven (Vernal was already death by that point). Amy had to sit and hear the family drama with Vernal corpse on her side. Beautiful memory.

This is me, so we would be having saphic!Rosegarden, she would have found out about the drama eventually.

Amy fancies earth over other elements and is not quite fond of flying yet.

I'm not sure about her weapon, on one hand could be a sword or knives since Maidens seems to rotate towards them but at the same time and really fond of how canon!Oscar used Long Memory as a bat and blame star rail for this but Amy hitting people with a magical bat would be badass and hilarious.

[ironwoodprotectionsquad]

I just wanna say I’ve been watching this all for a bit. The whole rwde and anti rwde stuff. I just wanna say I hope you’re doin alright a little. This all seems like it sucks ass and just. It sucks that it all just looks like you’re talking to a brick wall.

And also thank you for being one of the few people who do call out the bullshit queer representation in the show, because i love that trans fems got representation and I love that there’s a canon lesbian couple, but when it comes to the main characters, it’s just queerbait. And as someone who’s transmasc and gay it’s nice to see you making content and talking about stuff like ironqrow.

Anyways sorry if this was awkward ^^’ just wanted to let ya know that you and the content you make is awesome!

Aww anon you are so sweet thank you for this kind ask! Honestly, yes they are being a brick wall and I suppose I should have realized that when they thought calling me a bitch was an a-okay thing to do. It's just very frustrating that people don't actually want to have a civil discussion and just immediately resort to name calling and ignoring what was being said.

Thank you so much anon! Yes having a trans fem character and a lesbian couple is a good thing, but at the end of the day they are all side characters that don't get much screentime and having two main characters being constantly being only coded as not straight is frustrating and fans deserve better then that. IronQrow is my current main OTP and hyperfixation right now lolz. RT's refusal to do things like confirm Yang and Blake have feelings for each other or letting Qrow be bi like CRWBY repeatedly joked about during volume 7 is so damn frustrating. All I can do though is sit in my corner and make my own content for people to enjoy lolz.

Hey that wasn't awkward I really appreciated it!!!!! Thank you so much for your ask, I love hearing from followers or even just people who find my content in passing lolz its a lot of fun!

Tuna-Tober Day 2 - Qrow Branwen

pairing: Qrow Branwen x fem!OC

prompt: "Why? Why do you love me?"

word count: 2,500

content: this is honestly a bit of a dead dove, whoops. Grimm attack, weapon use (scimitars, hand crossbows, scythe, great sword, shotgun), blood, language, angst.

tuna-tober masterlist / main masterlist

dividers by: @animatedglittergraphics-n-more / gif found on comic vine

“All right kids, for today’s lesson we’re hitting the great outdoors! You all have gone above and beyond your training here at the school, so the headmaster has granted us permission to take it to the next level. After all, when you get to Beacon, combat training in a real setting starts on day one!” Rayne announced to her small class of future Huntsmen. An excited gasp filled the air before hands shot up into the air for questions. “Yes, Crystal?”

“Do you think we’ll run into any Beowolves?” the excited girl asked, practically vibrating with excitement. 

Rayne taught the class on Grimm at Signal. After years of hunting the devilish creatures, she had gained an understanding of them and knew their individual strengths and weaknesses. Up until now, the kids had never gone into combat with the creatures, they only knew how to take them on in theory from what she had taught them. So when the headmaster proposed the idea, it made her nervous. 

Her nerves had been soothed though by the plan the school board had devised going into the day, so she smiled at Crystal and nodded, telling her, “That’s the goal. We got a mission from the board saying that there’s a small pack that’s been destroying farm land. That’s where we’re headed.” 

“With a little bit of guidance,” came the voice of Taiyang as he entered the room, waving to the kids with a big smile on his face. 

“Mr. Xiao Long!” chorused some of the students as their combat teacher entered the room. 

“Don’t forget about your backup,” came a second voice as he entered with another small group of students behind him.

“How could I forget?” Rayne asked in a teasing voice as everyone gathered in the room. “Mr. Branwen and his class will be joining us, as well as Mr. Xiao Long,” she announced to her students. “Remember that, while, yes, we are going out to hunt Grimm, you are still in class. You are to follow all of our instructions if you want to stay safe. If you’ve paid attention in my class, you know that the Grimm are no joke. So remember to stay sharp out there.”

“Yes ma’am,” the students replied. 

“Now, the only real way to learn how to fight the Grimm is to do it yourself. So that’s what we plan on letting you kids do,” Qrow said. “We’ll be there if something goes wrong, so if you get overwhelmed we’ll step in. And obviously, you’re working under our licenses, so don’t blow it.” This last comment was met with some quiet laughs from the students. 

“And remember combat order!” Tai announced. “Get into groups before we get out there and use your skills and weapons to your advantage. If you can fight something ranged, let your ranged fighters go. If you end up in melee combat, work together. We don’t want any injuries, but we especially don’t want to accidentally hurt one another. Got it?”

“Yes sir!”

“Okay! Everyone grab your weapons and let’s go!” Rayne called, which resulted in her class getting up and heading out the door. 

There was a buzz of excitement in the air as they filed out, but she still couldn’t help her nerves starting to climb at the prospect of what they were doing. “It’s gonna be alright,” Qrow said, placing his hand on her shoulder to reassure her for what felt like the hundredth time since the inception of the plan. 

Tai nodded and reminded her, “The farmers said they’ve only seen three Beowolves on the property. With the students and the three of us, it’ll be a cake walk!”

Qrow chuckled and said, “I’m sure Ruby could take them all on her own, but we’ve asked her to leave at least one for the other students.”

A small smile fell onto her lips before she nodded and blew out an anxious breath. “It’ll be fine. It’s just three Grimm. They can handle three Grimm.”

As it turned out, there were more than three Grimm. The students successfully took down the three that were reported without any assistance from the teachers, but right as they were about to celebrate, a feeling of dread began creeping up Rayne’s spine. It was a feeling she always got when she sensed Grimm in the area. Turning around toward the treeline at the edge of the property, Rayne saw the red eyes of a lurking pack of Beowolves. There had to be at least fifteen of them. 

“Tai, Qrow, get the kids to-!” 

Before she could finish her sentence though, the beasts were charging at the group at full speed! Pulling her scimitars from their sheaths, Rayne ran toward the pack, hoping that engaging them in close quarters would be a distraction enough so the kids could get to safety. Rayne’s blade slashed through the underside of one of the beasts, but as it faded to dust around her, another lunged at her, which she stabbed in the throat before ripping downward. 

Taking in her surroundings, she saw a few of the Grimm had broken off and started to overwhelm a small group of students. Reaching into one of the small quivers she had on either side of her hips, she hit the button that would enable the arrows with combustion Dust at the same time as she hit the button to transform one of her scimitars into a hand crossbow. Once the arrow was loaded within a few seconds, she aimed right at the head of one of the Grimm before it could land a blow on the fighting student. 

The explosion downed the creature, and as it turned to dust, its fellows turned to look at where the attack came from. Right as they did, she activated her semblance and caused a bright sunbeam to refract off of the surface of her scimitar and into their eyes. “Go! Now!” she shouted to the kids who nodded and began running toward where Tai was ushering the students into the safety of a nearby barn. 

Right before she turned around to engage with more of the combatants, she heard the growl of one of the beasts right behind her. She felt the air swish and saw the shadow of its great paw reaching into the air to attack before suddenly fading into dust, a whimper leaving its chest in its final breath. 

“Miss Beaux, are you okay?” asked Ruby as she skidded to a halt beside Rayne, using the blade of Crescent Rose to stop her momentum. 

“I’m fine, thank you, Ruby,” she told her with a gracious smile. 

“Gettin’ rusty?” Qrow asked with an audible smirk in his voice as he came to stand beside the two of them. 

“Just because I teach full time doesn’t mean I’m not still going on hunts,” Rayne countered before turning to face the pack of beasts who were now staring them down. 

“Ruby, go help your dad protect the others,” Qrow told her as his eyes darted around to make sure that all of the Grimm were solely paying attention to them. 

“But Uncle Qrow, I-”

“I know you can hold your own, and that’s why I need you with them!” Qrow said sharply. “If this goes sideways and any one of them breaks from the pack, I need to know that everyone over there is safe!”

“I’ll blind them so you can get through. Use your semblance,” Rayne told her with a nod. 

“Got it,” she replied as Rayne once again activated her semblance and Ruby dashed away, leaving a trail of rose petals in her wake. 

By then, Rayne had transitioned her weapon back into its scimitar form and it was just her and Qrow back to back as the beasts circled. With a small smile on her lips, she asked, “Like old times?”

“Like old times,” he confirmed before they both engaged in combat with the Grimm once more. The pair worked in tandem with Qrow using the shotgun feature of Harbinger to wound the beasts before Rayne went in and sliced them up to finish them off. 

They made quick work of the remaining six beasts, and Rayne thought they were done before suddenly she heard Qrow shout in pain behind her. Snapping her head toward the sound, she saw the remnants of Qrow’s depleted aura in the air as the Beowolf pinned him to the ground and snarled. There was another shout of agonizing pain as the beast dragged its claws over Qrow’s chest and crimson began to seep into the fabric of his coat. 

“Qrow!” Rayne shouted in horror before charging at the beast and laying it out within seconds. “No, no, no, no, no! This can’t be happening…” Rayne whispered as she dropped her weapons and began trying to stop the bleeding. 

Qrow spotted one final Grimm making its way toward the barn and lifted a shaky hand to point it out, telling Rayne, “Go…”

“No! Ruby and Tai can handle it,” she said as she picked up one of her weapons and cut off a piece of Qrow’s tattered cloak in order to hold pressure on the wounds. 

“But-” he tried, becoming weaker and weaker as blood began pooling around him.

“No, don’t you do that! Don’t close your eyes, Qrow,” Rayne whispered desperately as she watched his eyes grow heavy with every passing second. As misfortune would have it though, Qrow’s eyes began to shut and tears started to fall as she whispered, “I love you…” 

Qrow woke up what felt like seconds later in a hospital room. As he looked at his surroundings, he saw Rayne scribbling furiously in a journal, so he asked in a scratchy voice, “Making lesson plans?”

Rayne looked up from her journal and a smile made its way onto her face as tears jumped into her eyes upon seeing Qrow awake. “Thank the Brothers,” she whispered before closing the journal and scooting her chair closer to the bedside. 

“What happened?” Qrow asked as he managed to sit himself up in the bed. 

“Ruby handled that last Beowolf and Tai called the Vale emergency line to report a fallen huntsman. You were in and out of it while they brought you here,” Rayne detailed. A proud smile made its way onto her lips as she added, “One of your students actually unlocked his semblance when he saw what happened. As far as we understand how it works, he’s able to close wounds. That’s what stopped you from totally bleeding out.”

“Thank him for me when you go back to work,” Qrow said. 

“Why not tell him yourself?”

“I’m not going back,” he muttered, running a hand over the bottom half of his face as he sighed in frustration. 

“Qrow-”

“I’m not going back, Ray,” he told her firmly. “I was the reason those kids ended up in danger!”

“Qrow, we don’t know that,” she tried, laying a hand over his and giving it a gentle squeeze. 

“You know as well as I do that that’s a lie,” he snapped, pulling his hand away from hers in order to run it through his hair. “I don’t know why I ever let Oz sucker me into this job in the first place…”

“Because he knew you would have a great impact on the future huntsmen who will one day have our backs out there,” Rayne told him gently. 

“Or because he knew that something like this would happen where it would be a sink or swim situation for the kids! Well, I’m not letting that happen again. I won’t endanger them! I won’t endanger you again!” he nearly shouted. “You’re better off without me…”

His words stung and Rayne was quiet for a few moments before asking quietly, “Is this about what I said before you passed out?”

There was a silence that hung heavy in the air for a few moments before Qrow asked in a broken voice, “Why? Why do you love me?” The hurt and emotion in his voice made her heart ache, and all she wanted to do was reach out and comfort him. “All I do is cause misfortune wherever I go. It’s not safe with me. It could have been you that the damn thing got, and if that had happened I would never be able to forgive myself.”

“Because of that right there,” she said as he got up from the bed and began grabbing his clothes off of the rack the hospital workers had hung them on. As he ducked behind the privacy curtain to get changed, she continued, telling him, “You care so much for others. You protect fiercely, and even if you don’t like to admit it, you love deeply. You push people away because of your semblance, but have you ever stopped to think that maybe some of us don’t care?”

“But I put you in danger, I-” he said as he emerged in his clothes which had been cleaned and repaired.

Rayne held eye contact with him as she put her heart on her sleeve and told him, “I love you Qrow Branwen. If you can’t accept that, I understand, but I just can't deny my feelings for you anymore. I can’t keep things casual anymore with someone I love as much as you.”

“Then I guess we’re over…” Qrow said quietly as he grabbed Harbinger and walked out the door, leaving Rayne to figure things out on her own. 

this made me wanna watch RWBY again!

also yes, her name is Rayne Beaux and her semblance is light refraction 🤣🤣 since this was just a one shot i just needed to throw a bare bones character together, but once i get The Story of Us written more fully, I may have her make an appearance somewhere in there because I really ended up liking her!

a day late on Tuna-Tober, but i was a sleepy gal after work yesterday😅 this may well happen throughout the month but my school is also having an IT breakdown so i can’t really school rn anyways 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Blackbird: Chapter 1

Pairing: Stella x Fem!Knight MC (Cirrus Qrow)

Summary: After calling it official: Cirrus Qrow and Stella of Solaria have become one of the most popular couples in all of Alfea, Stella's mother suddenly calls her back to Solaria. But, not without Stella needing a knight's escort... Cirrus.

Chapter Warning(s): Fear of WLW intimacy, Sexual Tension, Semi-NSFW

Chapter Theme: Daydream - The Aces

Chapter Key: Italics = Thoughts, +*+ = Time Skip, Bold/Italic = Flashback

A/n: None

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

You step out of the shower after a day's training, beginning to throw together decent clothing for your date with Stella right as practice ended.

*Stella's POV* You stand in front of the mirror, continuously switching from one outfit preview to another.

"Stella, you okay?" Flora comes into the room

"I don't know what to wear," You panic

"Dude, it's Cirrus, do you see how much she simps over you? How much she loves seeing you in general? Not once have I seen her not smile when you come into the room," She smiles, "Hell, she'd be ecstatic if you just were just naked."

"I'd rather die of embarrassment than be naked in front of her," You lie

"Oh, what a shame then," A familiar voice chuckles, "I actually would have enjoyed that."

You turn to see Flora standing behind Cirrus. Cirrus smacking her lips together.

"Cirrus," You blush, "How long were you standing there?"

"Just the entire time," She says, chuckling

You could easily hear the slight hurt in her voice, but Cirrus was good to hide her emotions physically.

"All right, you two, let me change and I'll be ready soon," You say, ushering them out of the door

You shut the door but pause, taking a minute to process the fact Cirrus was hurt that you prefer not to be intimate with her. Or at least that was how she most likely processed the saying.

It was more... Like...

You were never intimate with a woman before; let alone the said woman is one of Alfea's greatest specialists. You've been intimate with others before. But none of which were females. You wanted to make your first time with Cirrus perfect. At least, you wanted to make it perfect for her.

You snap back to your reality and finally set out on an outfit.

*Cirrus' POV* "Where are you two going?" Flora asks out of curiosity

"Just out to a bar," You say, "Just a plain date night."

"You're taking a princess out to a bar?" She nearly laughs, "Are you basic?"

"Money isn't really a big thing in my wallet right now," You sigh in frustration, "Besides, she and I agreed that we'd just go out onto a plain date."

"That's a first that Stella wants something plain," Musa chimes in, "She's changed a lot since you two started dating."

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Do y'all actually miss her old self?" You ask, jokingly

"I think you're the kind of person she needs," Musa says, "I genuinely mean that."

You sigh into a smile.

"Cirrus," Stella's voice brings all of you to her attention

*Stella's POV* You settled on plain high-rise jeans with a crop tank top. You watch in agony as she strides up to you. She props her arm above your head on the doorframe.

"Hey," Her tone drops a few octaves, "Come here often?"

You couldn't help but laugh. You press your hand against her abs and she takes a few steps back towards the door.

"Ugh Stella just get a hotel room," Musa sighs in frustration, "Cirrus, just keep her for the rest of the night!"

You grab Cirrus by the hand and make your way out of the suite.

+*+

The two of you sit on a high-top table in the far corner of the bar.

"I'm not offended by what you said earlier by the way," Cirrus breaks the awkward silence

"I know, it's just-"

"Stells, you don't need to explain yourself," She chuckles, sweeping your hand into hers

She gently brushes the back of your knuckles with her thumb. Her green eyes piercing yours.

"God how do you do that?" You ask, leaning back into the chair

"Do.. What?" She asks

"Eye-fuck me," You answer

"I don't know what you're talking about," She says

"You know what I'm talking about," You reply, trying to hide your smile

"I can assure you that I don't," She says, "It's probably my resting bitch face."

"Your resting bitch face consists of a very... Stern look. Like, your eyes say 'I want to kill someone'," You say, "But, right now... Your eyes say 'I will lay down my life for you'."

"Well, I would," She says, "For you, princess."

She kisses the back of your hand. Ever since you started dating Cirrus, you only liked it when she uses your princess title.

"I remember when you wanted nothing to do with me," You chuckle

"Yeah well, sometimes getting used is not the most fun feeling ever," She sighs

"I'm sorry," You sigh

"If me still being mad at you is a concern, it shouldn't be," She says, giving you a reassuring hand squeeze, "I forgive you."

"Not really easy to forgive myself," You sigh

"What's it gonna take for me to make you forgive yourself?" She asks

"Nothing really, it'll just be sitting there," You sigh

She gives you a hard stare...

"But, I'll try," You slightly smile

+*+

The both of you decided to take a walk along the barrier of Alfea after tiring out of being in the public eye. But, the two of you find a spot in the forest where eyes won't lay upon the both of you. You lean back against Cirrus.

"So... What is this... Big final you have to complete?" Cirrus asks

"Apparently there is a higher form of transformation magic, one that is far more powerful than our traditional transformation," You sigh

"You don't sound too thrilled though Stells," She says

"The issue is that..." Your voice trails

"That?..." She asks

"I have to make a great sacrifice," You explain

"Oh... Is Stella afraid to give up her walk-in closet?" She tries to make light of your situation

"No, heavens no," You chuckle, "I just... What if I die?"

"Stella, you won't," Cirrus sits up from the tree

"How would you know that?" You ask

"Because I will make sure you don't, princess," She smiles, "Plus, I may not have any magical knowledge, but I'm pretty sure your magic won't let you die."

You smile as you settle into Cirrus' embrace.

"What if I don't achieve it before the end of the year?" You ask

"Hey hey, slow down Stells," She chuckles, "We still have some time. So, it can be a worry problem for later."

"You know when to tell me the right things," You smile

+*+

Cirrus walks you back to your suite. The both of you linger by the doorway: not wanting the night to end.

"Thanks for... Walking me back," You smile

"Always," She smiles

You give her a quick cheek kiss and turn away from her to open the door to your suite. However, Cirrus puts her hands on your waist and turns you back to her. She snakes her arms around the small of your back and pulls your body to hers. She leans her head down and kisses you. You immediately return the kiss.

"Goodnight, princess," She smiles, placing her forehead against yours, her grip slowly ceasing on your body

"Goodnight, my little bird," You smile back, attempting to reach for the doorknob

*Cirrus' POV* You hated the nickname: bird. Anything involving the term. However, since Stella began calling you that, you've been liking it. Only when she says it though.

+*+

"So your date went well I presume?" Kat's voice chimes in as soon as you open the door

"Yeah," You sigh, hopping into bed

"Just 'yeah'?" She asks, "N-nothing happened?!"

"What was supposed to happen?" You ask, sitting up

"I don't know... Maybe..." Kat gestures hip thrusts

"Kat you can't be serious," You sigh in unamusement

"Come on, months into the relationship and neither of you have done the deed yet?" She asks

"I told her to let me know when to take her to bed," You sigh, "To which she didn't tell me yet."

"Wow, you're speaking like a true knight," Kat smirks, "Waiting for your princess to feel ready. Do you have some knight-lineage in your blood?"

"Frankly, I have no clue what my lineage is," You say

"That'll be a worry for tomorrow," Kat sighs

*Stella's POV* You lay in your bed after a day of your classes; attempting to relax and be mentally prepared for the next day. but, your mind was reeling... You couldn't shake the overwhelming fear of not achieving your powerful fairy form...

Just say when you want me to take you to bed, princess.

"T-take me to bed... Cirrus..." You whisper to yourself

You shut your eyes... Continuing to picture Cirrus. How you fantasized her hands roaming your body. Kissing every part... Your hand slowly snakes down your body, your fingertips making it past your waistband...

"Hey Stella? Flora knocks against the door frame

You immediately snap out of your Cirrus-themed fantasy and attempt to compose yourself as best as you could. You watch as Flora looks from the envelope to you. You're sure that she could see your heaving chest.

"You... Okay?" She asks

"Yes, now what is it?" You ask, sitting up in your bed

"A letter from your mother," She hands it to you

"Thanks," You tell her

You seat yourself at the edge of your bed, taking a deep breath.

"My mother is summoning me?" You reread the letter your mother

"Well, could be for something important," Flora says

"Odd she's requesting that I'd bring a 'knightly' escort to the kingdom," You state

"I know a good 'knightly' escort you could go ask," She says

You look at her as the corner of her lip curls into a smirk.

"Fine, just to make you feel better," You sigh

"Not make me feel better, make you feel better," Flora continues to jokingly taunt you

"Shut up," You sigh in annoyance

You stand up and throw on one of Cirrus' sweaters and begin making your way towards her dorm.

+*+

When you round the corner to her hall, Kat looks up at you.

"Got a date with Terra, room's all hers," She winks as she passes by

You lowly chuckle to yourself as you continue making your way to her room.

*Cirrus' POV* You throw your damp towel onto a nearby rack as you throw on a sports bra. Cold fingers trail across your stomach.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack," You sigh

"Sorry, I need to talk to you," She says

"Yeah? Your suite mates starting to hate you again?" You ask, throwing on a sweatshirt

"No, no," She says, "My mother is summoning me back to the kingdom."

"This... Concerns me... How?" You ask, genuinely

"She is... Requesting a Knight's escort," She says

"That's... One odd request," You say, sitting next to her

"But, it's not just any 'Knight', Cirrus," She says, looking at you

"Who else could be- Oh..." You catch on, "So... If I'm piecing this together correctly, you would like me to accompany you to the castle..."

She nods.

"When do we leave?" You ask

"We can leave tomorrow morning," She says

"Jeez Stella that soon?!" You ask

"I told you that it was soon," She says

"Okay," You sigh, "How long would we be there for?"

"She didn't specify..." She says

"Alright," You sigh again, "I'll start packing."

"You're the best," Stella says

"I try," You chuckle, getting your suitcase from under your bed

"I mean it, Cirrus," She says

As you stand back up, her hands wrap around your neck.

"My mother's unpredictable," She says, "Who knows what she'll have planned..."

"I can handle unpredictable," You smile

You take a step back and begin walking over to your drawers, looking for presentable clothing for the trip. As you were in the midst of re-folding a shirt, Stella's fingers trickle around your waist and wrap around your stomach.

"You can worry about that later..." She says against your shoulder

"Aren't we leaving first thing in the morning?" You ask, turning to look over your shoulder

"Yes but..." She says

Her hand travels down to your hip and turns you to face her.

"But?" You ask, cracking a smile

She doesn't answer you. But her lips find yours. Her hands find yours and guides them to the skin under her shirt. She gestures for your hands to travel up further. She uses her hands and presses them onto your shoulders, guiding you towards your bed. You climb into her lap as she falls back onto her bed. Cirrus' hands ghost over your breasts as she strips your shirt off, revealing your bralette. Her lips begin to travel onto your neck and her fingers slowly trail underneath your bralette.

"C-Cirrus hold on," You press your hands against her shoulders

"Oh, am I moving too fast?" She asks

"A little," You sigh

"Okay, then show me what you want for right now," She says

Your hands slowly reach back for hers, putting then on your bare hips.

"You may touch what is already bare," You say, "You also may continue to kiss my skin."

She chuckles as she leans her head back into your neck, slowly kissing it. Your body stiffens as her lips and hands gently trail across your skin.

"May I?" She asks

You look down at her, "May you what?"

Your stomach knots as her fingers caress your stomach.

"Kiss you... Here?" She asks

You nod, smiling.

"You may," You answer

You gently gasp as Cirrus stands from the bed whilst still having you in her lap. She gently lays you on the bed. You watch her kneel on the floor. Her hair tickles along your skin as her lips explore your stomach.

"Ci-Cirrus," You sigh

You could feel Cirrus' fingers reach underneath and curl your waistband.

"Cirrus!" You sit up, pushing her away

"Whoa hey Stella, I'm sorry," She pants, holding her hands up, "I wasn't going to... I promise."

"I'm sorry," You sigh, "I panicked. Please don't be mad."

"I'm not," She says, "I wouldn't move further until you tell me to."

You sigh into a smile, your finger tracing Cirrus' jawline.

"Will you lay with me?" You ask

She nods, then stands as you gently pull her into her bed. The both of you lay in silence. Cirrus brushing your hair was making your eyes grow heavy.

"Sleep, princess," Her voice soothes you

[invested-in-your-future]

"Male characters not getting spotlight in the fem focused show"

"femme MCs not being run over by fanservice"

"femme MCs not being treated with sexism"

those are like the most hilarious because...

Have they actually watched the show? (did they forget that Jinn literally exists for one reason only?)

RWBY does all of those. Sometimes all at once.

Taiyang had more agency and control over Yang's recovery subplot than Yang herself. In fact not just Taiyang - the sexual harasser professor too.

The big V4 reflection over what happened ended up being about Jaune down to him literally stealing Ruby's characterization scene midway through.

The big V4 moment of Blake "learning" (even though she already did with V3) that she keeps avoiding things and gets her friends hurt was done via Sun rather than via her own introspection and characterization.

Nora and Ren's backstory - the one bright spot of V4 - ended up being about basically just Ren. Nora is still just "some girl childhood friend".

The big confrontation at Haven ended up being about Jaune.

Salem's entire motivation as a villain is literally "Scorned Lover" trope.

The pivotal moment of Atlas arc that decided everything belongs to QROW.

Cinder spent more time squabbling with the men in the Evil Council of Evil than with the girl whom she supposedly hates.

Neo's whole character became about Roman and they made an entire novel about how all of her characterization is about Roman.

Penny's fate was decided by JAUNE without her best friend ever being involved in the subplot EVER.

The sole deciding factor of Raven's allegiance ended up being TAIYANG.

Ozpin and Qrow had more control over Ruby's path, training and direction than Ruby herself.

Blake's whole arc began because of Ghira and Adam ended up being the one to take down the WF by being an idiot.

V9, the so-called volume about the leads trauma and character ended up being about Jaune.

The four leads had basically zero agency for entire show, literally not getting characterization and growth at all.

Even the first three Volumes suffer from those at times.

To me it seems like the ones criticizing people for writing AUs/rewrites/etc also ended up rewriting the show in their heads - eradicating all the actual flaws and remembering the version of a show that never existed.

Also

"Cinder returning and being a foil to Ruby"

GOSH I WISH. When did this happen in the show? Oh right, literally never.

See, stuff like this is why whenever people try to pretend that they are only "criticizing" rewrites i just laugh out loud and tell them that they are well, full of shite.

This person is literally fighting ghosts, people who do not exist, all because they want to make a point against "rewrites".

Who says that BB happening is a plothole? Who says that Adams handling is a plothole? Who says that there not being fanservice is a plothole? I can go on but seriously. Who says that?

Nobody. But for the sake of being mad at rewrites, people will create ghosts to fight against.

And then they have the gall to go around and say "Well, we are just criticizing rewrites". No you aint. You have not even read them or watched them. Yeah, i know that you havent.

This entire RWBY anti-rewrite movement is full of people who have never actually interacted with rewrites, all you do is regurgitate the same BS that someone originally told you. Thats why you repeat your points ad nauseum.

Basically, how is anyone supposed to take your "criticism" of rewrites seriously, when you literally create ghosts that have never existed to fight against?
