FNDM Creator Bio

This image was created with Picrew’s “미니미 메이커“!! https://picrew.me/share?cd=fNZBQvh8uB

Name: Ruby

AO3: LittlestFallenAngel

I'm a writer! I've written 14 RWBY fics so far. While I do write some shipping, I tend to favor character studies in my RWBY writing.

Favorite characters: Weiss, Winter, and Willow Schnee; Yang Xiao Long; James Ironwood

Favorite ships: Qrowin, White Knight, Marrowgold, Monochrome, Bumbleby, Sunflakes (I will basically ship Weiss with everyone - this is a threat)

Favorite tropes: hurt/comfort, smut with feelings, age differences (with adult characters), slow burn, smut with plot

Self recommendation: A Kiss to Make it Better is one of the best examples of my slow burn fics. My Beautiful Snowflakes is one of my character studies and I think it's one of my best first person POV fics, and Somehow is one of my rare AU fics, and one of my best works overall, I think.

Creator’s note: I'm an adult and I write a lot of (really good imo) sex scenes, and if you decide to follow my blog you will inevitably see the dreaded female-presenting nipple (not mine, mostly from doujinshi screenshots and vintage pinups), so be mindful of all that when engaging with my blog or my work. No hate if it's not your thing.

My ask box is always available. It's a good way to engage if you're not totally comfy with the above stuff I mentioned and don't want to commit to following my blog. I also only have my DMs open to mutuals, so the ask box is a good way to talk to me directly in general. Anon is also on for the shy people.

follow up questioooon. i loved your answer from my last ask hihi the who broke it off question. your answer actually made sense and I see that happening tbh. Now, follow up question, how do you think qrow coped and "moved on" after the break up? and winter too, how did she cope and "move on"? any idea how theyre going to "reconcile" if thats ever gonna happen because i havent seen them in the v8 trailer (dear god why)

I’m going to put in some headcanons I really wish would happen for this coming volume then hahaha This might sound like some short fic btw since I’m probably going to get carried away with it hahaha (I’m making a one-shot on this so I’ll have it posted soon. Think of this as the plot summary HAHA)

Qrowin Coping/Moving On (Post break-up) & V8 Reconciliation

Qrow’s coping/moving on

The way I see it is that Qrow is going to end up back to his alcoholic self (not really surprised there even if that could have been the reason they broke up in the first place). It’s cause its practically all he’s known from the start. He never had a healthy way of coping with loss, and with Winter and him splitting up, it just seemed to prove to him that he wasn’t someone worth loving. 

Disappointingly, he’s going to hook up with girls at some point, just to feel what used to be there only to end up with the emptiness that Winter had left him. He’d go through the same routine of drinking at a bar, having a one-night stand, and regretting it just as quickly as it starts. He wants to stop. He knew it wasn’t right. It didn’t feel right knowing he was still in love with Winter. When he starts convincing himself to leave, he scolds himself, saying that she’s already gone and that it was pointless to resist. The night will continue on and before the sun rises, he’ll leave just before anyone could suspect, with a lot of guilt hanging on his shoulders.

He’ll stop when it gets too much. Eventually, he’ll go to Ozpin for more missions and immerse himself in fulfilling them. He wouldn’t care if he’d get wounded, and he’d let whatever rage and frustrations he had pent up out through his attacks towards the grimm. He wouldn’t look forward to going back, knowing that no one was waiting for him. It adds to his feelings of no one wanting him. He’d keep it all in mind as he purposely puts himself in more danger as he goes on a grimm slaughter spree. 

Winter’s coping/moving on

I can see Winter immersing herself into work just as Qrow would. She wouldn’t dare acknowledge the aching pain she felt at losing the one person who genuinely cared for her besides Weiss, the one person who would tell her that her feelings were valid. Without that reminder, she would isolate herself like she had done many times before. She wouldn’t let them show, and she would try to escape them in any way she could.

She would ask Ironwood if he had more tasks for her. The paperwork on her desk had piled up to the point it had been much taller than she was. She claimed more responsibilities just to stay in the base for longer hours. By the time she retired to her room, she’d be too exhausted to let the emotions surface. If that wasn’t the case, she would bring her work with her, writing and organizing them the whole night until she tired herself enough that she knew she wouldn’t end up staring at the ceiling in thought once she lied down.

Per her request, she had asked the general for more missions, and she made sure to avoid Vale and Mistral, knowing he was likely there. Most of her missions were in the deserts of Vacuo or the tundras of Atlas and higher north in Solitas. She would let the intense climate get to her so that she’d focus on it instead of the nagging thoughts in her mind. The only time she would ever relieve her anger and sadness was when she came face to face with hoards of grimm, quickly activating her semblance to zoom through them with one swipe. She’d leave behind what she could in the wind, before turning back to slay more of them, letting her immerse herself as she escaped.

Qrow and Winter Reconcile

I saw this going 3 ways:

In Qrow’s jail cell

In Winter’s hospital room

On the battlefield

So let me expound on this.

In Qrow’s jail cell

We know that Winter was severely injured at the end of V7, so it’s either she makes a quick (but not full) recovery and heads down to the cell, or that before she gets treated, she demands to go see Qrow. 

He would be incredibly surprised and concerned to see her in such a state, maybe not even bother to hide it. He had already lost Clover, and while that was all happening, it sent a shiver down his spine to know she almost suffered the same fate. She would likely ask him what exactly happened with Clover and Tyrian, and I get the feeling that she would trust him anyway with whatever he told her. He wouldn’t need to use Robyn’s semblance to prove his innocence cause Winter already knew Qrow wouldn’t lie. 

Much to his surprise, she’d let him out, not finding him guilty for his crimes, and more importantly, gave him instructions to find team RWBY and keep her sister safe. She would tell him that he better came back cause they still had to talk later, marking a silent promise. Qrow would be hesitant to leave her alone, but the determination in her eyes pushed him to leave, but not before asking her to promise him she would stay alive.

In Winter’s hospital room

Maybe Qrow would be able to get out of the jail cell (he can turn into a bird, after all) knowing his nieces are out there with Salem’s forces at large. As he leaves Atlas, he hears of a certain special operative who nearly got killed and was currently admitted in the med bay. He makes a quick stop to find her resting and half asleep. She wakes up to his footsteps, expecting the general but is dumbfounded to see him beside her bed.

He asks her what happened and she couldn’t seem to say what she was feeling at all, lost and disappointed in herself for failing. He would secure her doubts somehow, in a very Qrow way of course. Not at all cheesy and all that crap. Winter looks to him for security at that moment, and similar to the previous scenario tells him he should leave before anyone catches him. She grabs his hand as she tells him to protect her sister for her and that he had better make it back alive. To her. 

He laughs once before squeezing her hand, telling her to stay safe and to recover well, before running off and out of the academy.

On the battlefield (ah yes, this very spontaneous short fanfic - I might post an actual full oneshot of this later on)

After Qrow and Robyn escaped their jail cell and Winter made a speedy recovery (likely Ironwood requesting to put her in an aura restoration chamber to hasten the replenishing process), they found themselves on opposite ends of the battlefield. Ironwood had instructed Winter to catch and arrest them, warning her not to disobey orders again nor fail for a second time. She was conflicted and Qrow could tell from the moment their swords clashed. He wanted nothing more than to talk to her, reason with her. She was more sensible than Clover was, and he knew that well. 

As the fight ensues, she comes off strong, stronger than he remembered. He realized that it's her rage and pent up anger. It had always been her way of getting some weight off her shoulders, and he used to help when he could. It was why they fought all the time, why they were always so physical. It became their unspoken love language, and the way they moved alone spoke volumes.

Neither of them backed down with their strikes, nor did they seem intent on hurting the other as it went. The rest of the ace ops and team RWBY had already found themselves elsewhere in the midst of the battle, yet they found themselves within each other’s close proximities alone in the vast field of snow. Their aura’s had long broken, and that made them all the more careful with each hit they sent. Winter was already slouching in her posture and Qrow’s breathing had grown ragged. 

It didn’t take long before he was able to knock the sabre from her hand and she stood with lidded eyes against his blade, almost daring to him to finish her. She pushed her neck against it further with an impassive face, waiting. Despite the dead expression, her eyes betrayed whatever she hoped to convey. Tinged with longing and sorrow, she almost begged him to kill her. 

But he couldn’t. He never would. 

Dropping his sword to the snow, he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace. For the first time since she had left the Schnee manor, her emotions had broken from its dam and flooded out in waves of tears against his chest, soaking his vest. He could feel her sobs wrack through her body and only held onto her tighter. 

All he could do was mutter repeated apologies as she held onto him like a lifeline. Whether it was because of what happened between them or the reason they had to fight in the first place, he didn’t know. She whispered her own apologies, clutching onto him as she hid her face from his view.

Before he could say anything else, she pushed him with what strength she had left, telling him to run. With Salem in search of the relics and the maiden, there was no other option but to let him go. For the sake of Atlas and Remnant. She wouldn’t be able to stop her on her own, not with the general breathing down her neck, but he and her sister’s team could. As she collapsed on the snow, she screamed for him to leave while he could. He could only nod as he watched her walls crumble. He understood what needed to be done, but he couldn’t just leave like this. 

He knelt before her fallen form, moving the hair from her face as he kissed the skin of her forehead, silently promising to return to her. Her eyes fluttered to a close at the contact and kept it that way until she heard the familiar flapping of his wings gradually soften before disappearing into the sky. Her hands grasped at the snow beneath them as she called out, demanding him to stay alive after all of it.

...

Okay, I honestly did not expect to write that last bit but now I really want to continue it HAHAHA Anyway, I was planning to write several oneshots this weekend so I’ll have them posted soon. 

Hope these answered your questions!! :)

[cloudschocobohair]

Anyways Qrow and Winter are basically Han and Leia, and that’s a fact.

[dragynkeep]

Qrow

meme, accepting.

sexuality / gender hc. bisexual & demiromantic.

favourite ships. qrowin, taiqrow, ironqrow, qrow / weiss, qrow / blake.

brotp. qrow & summer, qrow & glynda, qrow & penny.

notp. fairgame.

happy hc. two of the rings qrow wears were "uncle's day" gifts from ruby & yang, totally not bought for with tai's lien card. ruby's is silver with a red gem inlaid, yang's is a bronze ring with a yellow gem inlaid.

angsty hc. how about his entire life lmao. okay but i do headcanon that qrow made a friend from a nearby village when he was a child, not knowing that the tribe had sent him out as an unknowing scope before they were going to raid the village. qrow's friend didn't make it.

random hc. qrow is absolutely a slut for those " girly " sparkly, fizzy drinks. leave him & his tequila alone bitches.

general opinion. oh qrow, how far you've fallen. i think he fit pretty well into the mentor archetype in the first four or so volumes but he definitely should not have outlasted the atlas arc. i saw an art piece where it was qrow who was killed by tyrian & honestly, i think i would've preferred that more as a roundabout end to his character.

[thrutheeyeofaqrow]

Ok. I have opinions and I can't word them well but here goes. I hate the snowbird/qrowin fanfics that depict Qrow as a mysoginist or as a constant asshole and as a person who makes lewd comments at Winter and how she just gives into it. I mean Qrow is drunk and a bit obnoxious sometimes but he's a fucking good person who to me displays a pretty strong moral code. Alcoholism and anger at Atlas doesn't make him a shitbag the way some of these fics depict him. Also it's totally denigrating to Winter's character. This isn't even my favorite ship. I was just exploring and for the most part I am not a fan. Also tis my blog and my opinion so I guess do what you do.

[maburito]

[simplykorra]

I know you don't like the ship but Qrowin totally had a one night stand together. It'd explain all that hostility between them 😂

[fadingemeralds]

"If you wear that red dress on purpose just to drive me up the wall, which is in fact working way too well, I might as well tell Jimmy about last night, and I swear the look on his face was totally worth it." Qrowin

“If you’re wearing that red dress on purpose just to drive me up the wall, which is in fact working way too well, I might as well tell Jimmy about last night, and I swear the look on his face was totally worth it.”

“I’m not dressing for you”, Winter replied cooly even though his breath on her cheek made her feel all kinds of ways and cool was not one of them.

“Sure you don’t. I can feel you glancing at me whenever you cross your legs and do you honestly think I wouldn’t notice that you’ve dropped your goddamn purse on purpose whenever I was near? Not as sly as you think, Schnee.”

“Is that so? Then why, pray tell, are you currently out here with me instead of inside telling my superior all about our sex life?” She crossed her arms in front of her chest and wasn’t surprised in the least when he pushed her up against a wall impatiently.

“Because there is no way I’m letting you get off this easily after you’ve teased me all evening”, Qrow growled before kissing her a little more desperately than she had expected.

Send me a ship and a sentence and I’ll write the next 5 few!
