meetings and beginnings

"A story of Vyn's first day in Stellis."

relationships: vyn & giann & ailine, giann/ailine tws: none! wc: 2021 extra: this was supposed to be a multichapter fic with ailiannovyn buttt i got lazy + vyn 5th bday is supposed to be about his name change so im posting this anyway

read on ao3!

Vyn jolted awake. He felt the plane shake, and a voice sounded over the speakers, the words only half-reaching his brain as he struggled to situate himself.

He looked out the window. Right. Stellis City. He must have arrived. 

He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, internally wincing as he saw his transparent reflection in the glass, his appearance anything but presentable. A sigh left him and he tried his best to fix whatever he could.

Once that was done and his glasses were once more on his face, Vyn took a look at his belongings and made sure he had everything. The plane had landed by now, and everyone was already starting to stand up and gather their bags, but Vyn stayed seated for now. He pulled out his phone, turning it on and switching the airplane mode off. Notifications soon started appearing on his screen, the last one showing a message sent only a few minutes ago.

“ You should be landing soon, correct? ”

Right as he clicked on the message and opened it, the other person started typing again.

“ I knew it. ”

“ Take your time, we’re almost there. ”

Vyn sent a simple response, acknowledging the words before putting his phone in his pocket again. The door was finally open, and people were starting to get off. Vyn didn’t have to wait too long to leave the plane – not many people traveled from Svart to Stellis, if he was being honest –, and soon enough he was walking through the foreign airport, going through the final checks before being free.

The fatigue was starting to weigh on him, despite having dozed off for almost half of the flight, and he was looking forward to just settling down already. It was early afternoon in Stellis by now, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that he wouldn’t be against a meal at the moment.

Just as he thought of pulling out his phone to check if he had gotten any new messages, a voice called out to him – though it did take him a second to realize he was being talked to. He’d need to get used to being called by his new name.

“Dr. Richter!”

He turned his head to see two figures approaching him: Giann Von Hagen, he recognized from their previous exchanges, though the woman beside him was unfamiliar. He still greeted them with a polite smile and nod, walking to meet them halfway.

“Mr. Von Hagen. I was just about to message you.”

The said Mr. Von Hagen waved a dismissive hand at him.

“Please, no need to be so formal. Just call me Giann. Oh,” he gestured to the woman beside him, “this is my fiancée, Ailine. I hope you don’t mind her tagging along with us.”

Vyn shook his head and watched as Ailine bowed before doing the same.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Richter. I’m Ailine Weiss. Giann told me a lot about you.”

“The pleasure’s all mine, Miss Weiss.”

Giann insisted on carrying Vyn’s belongings for him, despite the man’s protests — and they soon arrived to the car that was meant to drive him to his new house. Once all of the baggage was settled inside the vehicle, the three of them sat in the back of the car as the driver started it up. Ailine spoke up first, most likely in an attempt to eradicate any chance of an awkward silence settling, Vyn noted. 

“I hope your journey here wasn’t too rough? Svart is quite a ways away from Stellis.”

Vyn was sitting next to the left car door, leaning slightly against it. He straightened up and leant slightly forward in order to look at Ailine while responding — Giann sitting in between the two was hiding her almost entirely.

“Ah, it wasn’t too bad, thankfully. I will just need to adjust to the time difference, but that shouldn’t be a problem.”

Ailine gave him a smile accompanied by a polite giggle — despite their efforts, Vyn could see their reservations towards him. They were clearly keeping up their professional fronts — not that he could blame them, though. They were practically strangers still, and Vyn was doing the same anyway. He didn’t think about it much longer though, as Giann cleared his throat and spoke up in turn. 

“We’ve been taking care of your house, so it should be all ready for you to settle in. All necessary appliances are present, and the water and electricity should be on already, but if you have any problems just give me a call and I’ll have someone fix it.”

Ailine added right afterwards, leaning forward the same way Vyn had earlier. 

“That reminds me, I’ve looked into some stores that sell furniture and decorations of great quality. I’ll have Giann send you their addresses later, if you’d like.”

Vyn hummed, a small smile dancing at his lips. 

“That would be lovely. Thank you for all the help you’ve given me, I appreciate it.”

The two reacted in tandem, chuckling in response and shooting each other a glance upon noticing that.

“It’s only natural. We hope to welcome you into Stellis as well as possible.”

Ailine expressed her agreement, and the small talk came to a stop. Vyn fell into thought, slumping ever so slightly against the car door again. He had looked into the neighborhood his new house would be in — Hemingway Heights, Giann had told him. The neighborhood was nice, from what he had seen. Well taken care of, and the area surrounding his street had quite a few stores, so he would have places to go at least. On top of that, it was the district made to promote higher education, which meant many universities and research institutions would be close to his living place. Giann had also sent him pictures of the house he had found him — it was more than enough, he thought. A definite downgrade from the Duke’s palace in Svart, but Vyn didn’t need such unnecessary space anyway. 

He was just glad to have a garden, and enough room to properly arrange everything he wanted. 

Images of Stellis’ streets flashed through the window as they drove, the quiet chatter between the two fiancés next to him serving as background noise to his thoughts. Soon enough though, they were stopping, and the door he was sitting next to was opened. He stepped out to finally take in his new house in person for the first time, taking note of every detail he could see. It was exactly as Giann had described it — he silently appreciated the man’s attention to detail and all the care put in meeting Vyn’s criteria. 

“You seem to like it, correct?”

The voice of the very man he was thinking about sounded next to Vyn, and he turned his head to meet a smiling face — quite smug-looking, if Vyn were to look closer — as Giann inquired. A chuckle left him and he pushed his glasses back up on his nose, looking back at the front before answering. 

“Yes. It’s exactly as you described. I must thank you again for all your efforts.”

“Please, it’s my pleasure. I’m glad to have met your expectations.”

The driver had already placed all of Vyn’s baggage on the front porch, and soon enough he was being welcomed inside, Giann and Ailine both following behind him. The house smelled nice, and looked clean — Giann wasn’t lying when he mentioned he had been taking care of it until now. He had asked Vyn thoroughly about his opinion on the arrangement, and while Vyn could see a few things he would move eventually, it was overall perfect. 

Once they had toured the house and garden, the group found itself once again in front of it and talked. Ailine checked the time and looked up at Vyn right as they were about to share their goodbyes. 

“Dr. Richter, I don’t suppose you’ve eaten since your flight, have you?”

After a hum of thought, Vyn replied. 

“I have not, no.”

Before he had the time to add anything, Giann cut in. 

“Well it’s already dinner time, so why not join us for it? My treat.”

Ailine gave a protest at the last part, to which Giann responded with a bashful laugh, and Vyn gave a smile. Who was he to refuse an invitation, after all? Besides, he had to admit he was really hungry, and wasn’t sure he wanted to make dinner himself. 

“Of course, I would love to.”

The smiles the couple sent him lifted his spirits, and they were soon on their way once more after they had decided on a restaurant to take him to, for his first meal in Stellis. 

Giann and Ailine had chosen a restaurant owned by the Weiss family, Vyn had been told on the way there, to guarantee him a great first experience, Giann said. The restaurant was clearly luxurious: and they were led to a private table, secluded from the other guests in the restaurant. Since Giann had already offered to pay — not without another complaint from Ailine —, he ushered Vyn to order whatever he wished for and not hold back. Silence fell among the three of them as they looked over the menu, and Vyn carefully weighed the different options in his mind. Finally they placed their orders, and engaged in more idle chatter — though Vyn found himself curious about his hosts.

“So, Miss Weiss, your family owns this restaurant?”

Ailine glanced towards him and nodded. 

“We do, yes. The Weiss family is known for its hotels and restaurants. It’s why we are Pax’s partners, actually.”

Vyn gave a hum of acknowledgement, chuckling to himself before looking towards Giann instead. 

“Seems like Pax invests in just about anything, doesn’t it?”

Giann laughed in return, the corners of his eyes crinkling with a wider smile than he had given Vyn before. 

“Well, it is a good idea to invest in several areas. It allows Pax to help development and to build relationships. I mean,” he gestured towards Ailine and their rings, “Ailine and I would have never known each other, nor gotten engaged, if our families weren’t business partners.”

“That’s true.” agreed the mentioned fiancée. 

Their dishes arrived not long after, Vyn enjoying his light — and free — dinner with the company of his two new acquaintances. 

It was already late into the evening when the group finished their dinner. Fatigue was catching up with Vyn — and he wanted nothing more than to lay down into his bed and get a good night’s rest. Giann and Ailine offered to drive him back, and at the risk of relying on them too much for a day, he accepted. He didn't have much of a choice anyway, really, what with still being unfamiliar with the city and having relatively no way to get to his house on his own — and there was no way he would risk trying out public transport this late into his first day in Stellis. 

Finally, he was back in front of his house, saying his goodbyes to the couple for the day. Giann looked at him through the window of the car, giving a final list to welcome Vyn properly. 

“You can get in touch with Stellis University from 8am to 7pm, weekends might be trickier though. As for myself and Ailine, well, just text me anytime and I’ll get to you as soon as possible!”

Vyn thanked him once more, nodding as Giann went on about everything he might need to know — despite Vyn already being aware of most of those anyway. It was a kind gesture, so he didn’t say anything. Finally, Giann was done, and he grinned.

“At the risk of repeating myself: welcome to Stellis, Dr. Richter. It was a pleasure finally meeting you in person.”

And Vyn smiled in response.

“It was a pleasure as well, Mr. Von Hagen, Miss Weiss. I will see you next time.”

The two drove off, and Vyn finally settled into his new bed, in his new house, in this brand new city, ready for his first night.

Promptmas 17 - All I want for Solstice is a cleanup crew...and you two!

Weiss has committed a little bit of murder. Ruby and Ilia are a little casual about it. Weiss finds that…kinda hot?

A bday promptmas for @drenosa! So wish them a big old happy birthday for them and their preferred ot3 of Chasing RainbowDust!

[yangscowlick]

RWBY fans, do we know what season the school year starts at Beacon? They are supposedly 17 when they start and we know it was fall by the time the Vytal festival started, so did the school year start in the spring? summer?

Ignoring the fact that it makes no sense for Remnant to have a Julian calendar, I understand their birthdays are:

Blake = January 19

Weiss = May 15

Yang = July 28

Ruby = October 31

Is Blake the oldest? Or does Yang’s bday wrap around the other way and she’s the oldest?

I don’t need Yang to be the oldest for flanderizing Mama Bear reasons (besides, she’s not the Mom Friend of the group despite misconceptions…Weiss is. Yang’s the Dad Friend of the group).

I am asking because Yang only being 15 months older than Ruby vs 2+ years older makes an interesting difference (1) knowing she had to step up and be the caretaker/surrogate mom growing up and (2) because it would be kinda weird if Tai got Summer pregnant like…barely six months after Yang was born / Raven left them.

You only have 3 open so I will restrain myself for now and only make 1 request.... for now.

Ruby Weiss and ciel falling asleep while studying. Ciels Barrett is asleep. Ruby is in the middle of the two who are leaning on her shoulders. Half body sketch which I'll use in a fic I'm writing for someone.

When I get the bday money in a few days imma go all out and get a DWR one too with all stops removed.

And a FS one later on for FS week. But one at a time. Must let others get a turn.

[azzther]

[drdilfenshmirtz]

HAPPY BDAY! 100 weiss for you today 🩵🩵🩵

THANK YOUUUUU 💜💜💜 i love birthday weiss 🎉

[azerothx]

Wouldn't be the first ruined Bday bc of a corporation for Weiss... or any of the Schnee siblings probably.

So apparently Roosterteeth is shutting down on Weiss's Birthday. Any thoughts on the timing?

Purely coincidental, I'm sure.

Daniel Brühl’s films on YouTube Masterpost

Are you a fan of the one and only Daniel Brühl? Are you interested in watching his movies for free?

If you are, you can watch some of his movies on YouTube! You can even watch the unsubtitled ones by adding the English subtitles I’ve created and uploaded to my dropbox; just click here for the link. To add the subtitles to the YouTube video, you will need the Google Chrome/Firefox extension Substital (I’ve provided a quick guide on how to set up this extension below the read more).

Here are the YouTube links to the movies I’ve made/adjusted subtitles for:

Good Bye Lenin!

Salvador

Lessons of a Dream/Der ganz große Traum (part one) (part two)

Elefantenherz/Elephant Heart*

Joyeux Noël

The * indicates that these subs are unofficial subtitles I made myself (and I’m not a native German speaker, so they won’t be perfect). The rest I simply downloaded and adjusted so they work on YouTube. Some, like the ones for Der ganz große Traum, will work outside of YT too.

And that’s not all! Here are some of his other movies on YouTube (you won’t need to add any subtitles to these):

Lila, Lila

Ladies in Lavender (with ads; the uBlock Origin extension will remove them)

The Face of an Angel

The Fifth Estate

Love in Thoughts (blocked in several countries, including the US)

Feel free to send me any questions or tell me about any other movies you find on YT, so I can add them to the list. Enjoy! 

Substital guide for Google Chrome:

The extension Substital (click here for link) allows you to put subtitles on almost any video, whether it’s on Youtube, Netflix, Dailymotion, etc. First, download the subtitle files for the movie you’d like to see from my dropbox. Afterward, download the Substital extension and make sure it’s pinned to your Google Chrome menu bar. To pin the extension, click this button on your menu located at the top right of your Chrome browser:

Next, click this icon next to the Substital extension:

Now it should appear like this:

Once Substital is pinned, open the Youtube video for the movie and click the Substital icon on your Chrome menu bar. It will then bring up the extension. Click the video’s name and it will allow you to upload the subtitle files you downloaded from my dropbox.

I hope this helps! 

*Please note: sometimes I have to remove links if the video is taken off YouTube, so if you reblog an earlier version of this post, some of the links may not work.

it's weiss day time!! 🤍💙
