So Far Away AU Part3

Chapter 2: New Start

During their journey to the Haven Academy, Jaune couldn’t understand why Qrow bothered to get drunk. Back in his hometown, he had seen many people get drunk and had their lives and their families destroyed by it. His father used to indulge in alcohol from time to time, but he remembers that he was always in control. Weiss’ mother was an alcoholic too. Alcohol was a poison Jaune never wanted to indulge in and yet here he was sipping it away at the bar, realizing why a person indulged in alcohol.

With every sip he took, he felt himself numb to what he was feeling. With every single swig he took, he found himself numb to the world. Jaune was not a lightweight, but he was also not someone who identified in the opposite spectrum. The hustle and bustle of the bar served as a soothing drone, but it was not hypnotizing enough to send him to a slumber.

“So what now?” Ren asks and at this moment Jaune looks up and remembers that he was not alone at the bar. Ren and Nora were here as well with him at the small table they had occupied. While he and Ren indulged themselves with a whisky on the rocks, Nora bothered herself to get a beer. Qrow was here as well, tucked away in a corner, drinking water which half surprised Jaune. Ilia, Sun, Coco, Velvet, and Neptune were huddled at one of the bigger tables, softly talking and from the expression they had on their face, the knight deduced that it was not a lively discussion. Neo, just like Qrow, occupied another corner, and Emerald and Mercury were seen at the counter, talking away.

What surprised Jaune more was the sight of Winter. Considering the history of alcohol in her family, Jaune expected her to be one of those people who despised alcohol. Well, he knew Weiss loathed it. But here she was, sitting at the counter, drinking the wine away, albeit in moderation.

“About what?” Jaune asks while taking a sip of his whisky.

“You know, fearless leader… what do you plan to do?” Nora asks while running her finger on the rim of her glass.

“What do you plan to do?” Jaune asks as he places his glass gently on the table. With the direction this conversation seemed to go, it was better if he remained sober.

Nora and Ren look at each other and an unspoken agreement happens between them. They look at their leader and for a second, they hesitate to say what they had on their mind. Ren unconsciously cracks his knuckles and Nora starts rubbing her palms. Sensing their hesitation, Jaune gives them a gentle smile and says, “Before you say what you guys want to do, just remember that, whatever decision you take, whatever path you choose, I will always support you”.

The duo straighten their backs a bit as soon as Jaune says that as if a huge weight was lifted off their shoulder, and Ren looks at Nora to which the red-head woman nods. The man nods and then he looks at his leader and says, “I and Nora are planning to quit being huntsmen. We want to go back to Kuroyuri and rebuild it”.

Judging by how worried they looked right now, it was safe for Jaune to assume that he looked flabbergasted. He didn’t expect that. He didn’t mind them doing this, he just didn’t see it coming. Not even once did Nora nor Ren talk about Kuroyuri, so he was blindsided by their decision. Maybe the saying that war changes everything was true in every sense.

“We have been around the block, asking anyone who wants to join us. We have a good number. We thought if you don’t have anything going on, maybe you could come with us”, Nora says, a bit of hesitance in her voice.

A small smile grew on Jaune’s face. Even in tough times, they were thinking about him. Sure, he did have plans. He was planning to confess to Ruby and if it went well, maybe take her to his hometown to meet his parents who he didn’t see for a long time. Maybe meet Taiyang as well and ask for his blessing. Then get married and settle down. He and Ruby would continue to be huntsmen, but he would retire early to take care of the kids.

But now, Ruby is gone. So most of his plans were down the drain and thus he had to begin from square one. Sure the offer Nora and Ren were giving was tempting, but he didn’t see himself going with them. They needed their privacy. They needed their space to grow and him being there would intrude that space and it didn’t sit well with Jaune.

He replies, “I’m happy that you are considering me in your future. But I must stop you right there. There are things I want to do and I won’t be able to do if I decide to join you guys”.

“Do we have the right to know those things?” Ren hesitantly asks.

Jaune’s eyes soften a bit as he replies, “It’s been 26 years since I saw my parents. I fought with my Dad before I came to Beacon. I did talk to Mom but after the fall of Beacon, we fell out of touch. The last person from my family that I had talked with was Saphron and that was ages ago. Now, after everything that has happened, I think it is time to go back home and be there for my family. Also, Crocea Mors can’t go back to its rightful place if I don’t go back home”.

“Where exactly is your home, Jaune?” Nora asks.

“It's a small town in Vale by the name of Ansel”, Jaune replies.

“But didn’t Vale get destroyed?” Nora asks.

“The main city got destroyed, but places in the countryside like Patch, Ansel, and Strot are relatively safe. Also, my town has its fair share of good huntsmen”, the blonde replies.

“But do you have to go? You can still come with us and visit them once in a while right? Maybe you could…” Nora starts but Ren cuts her off by placing his hand on her shoulder. She looks at him and he just shakes his head. The knight understood where Nora was coming from. Her own experience related to her mother might have made her assume that his family might be the same.

But Jaune knew well. He might have shared differences with his father but over the years, he has come to know why his father never bothered to train him. His mother was on the passive side but she always meant well. And then there were his sisters. He fought with them, he argued with them but he also loved them. You can’t forget about family just because you have one difference with them.

But at the same time, he was nervous. As he said before, it has been 26 years since he had seen them. The scroll which he had with him when he fell into Ever After, was lost in the unknown. It contained everything about his family and friends. The memories it held in it were lost forever to the blackness of the void. It has been so long that he even struggles to remember how they even look. He is also scared of the fact that anything could happen to them during these years.

“We understand, Jaune. You should go back to your family and regarding Kuroyuri, I believe you can visit us from time to time”, Ren says with a small reassuring smile. Did Ren sense the dilemma Jaune was going through in his mind? The knight had no idea. But knowing that he had his back brought ease to his soul.

“Yeah… you can do that!” Nora chimes in.

“That seems like a good alternative”, Jaune replies with a smile and as he picks up his glass, he asks, “So when are you two leaving?”

Ren shrugs his shoulders in reply and says, “Since it's a big group, it might take some time for us to prepare. If I have to give an exact number, maybe in three to four weeks”. Jaune simply nods.

“When are you leaving, Jaune?” Nora asks.

Jaune shrugs his shoulders as he replies, “I don’t know… maybe in a week. I don’t have much stuff to carry. Tomorrow, I was planning to get in contact with one of the Bullhead pilots and ask the place where he could drop me. Then get some stuff sorted out”.

“Only a week! I thought we had enough time to hang out”, Nora groans to which both Jaune and Ren let out a chuckle.

The knight reaches out to pat the short woman’s head and says, “If it makes you feel better, I’m not sure whether I will be leaving early. As far as I know, the flight towards Vale might not occur this early. So if I get lucky, I might be around for a few more days”.

“But there is also a chance the flight might be in three days! What if there is one tomorrow?” Nora asks with concern.

Jaune smiles and replies, “Well, if that is the case then I guess I will miss that flight and wait for another”.

“You know… why can’t you wait till we leave for Kuroyuri!? That way we have plenty of time to spend!” Nora suggests.

“Nora…” Ren chastises her.

The knight couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “Well, that is something I can’t do. You guys would be busy with the preparations. So it's better if I get myself out of the way”.

“You are never in the way, Jaune”, Ren immediately replies in an offended tone.

The blonde takes a sip and with a grin on his face, he replies, “I know, Ren. I know”. A moment of silence grows among them and his eyes gaze back into his glass. In one big sip, he empties the glass and then he says, “Well, I will take my leave then”.

“You’re leaving?” Ren asks with genuine concern.

“I'm drained, man. I just want to sleep”, he replies and both of them understand.

They nod in synchrony and the short red-haired woman reaches out and hugs the knight. She then looks at her partner, who just nods and goes to hug them. They held onto each other for what felt like an eternity. None of them wanted to let go. It took Jaune all of his restraint to let go.

“Good night, fearless leader”, Nora beams.

“Good night, Jaune”, Ren says with a soft smile on his face.

“Good night guys”, Jaune replies as he walks out of the bar into the cold winds of the Vacuan night.

The night was beautiful but Jaune was not in the mood to savor it. Even with the presence of the shattered moon and stars, he seldom felt at ease. The local huntsmen were patrolling the camps. Just because Salem was dead, it didn’t mean that the Grimm would rest. After all, they existed before her. Her presence in this world acted as a control and now… since she was gone, they were back to their instinctual predation. The huntsmen were on their toes patrolling day and night.

Some waved at him as he walked past them and he returned the gesture in kind. He was acquainted with a few of them. Having Aura Amp as his semblance meant that he was in high demand. Sometimes they would reach out to him in the middle of the night to help and the knight would oblige. At least he could be helpful now, but also left him with little time to mourn. Jaune couldn’t help but shudder to imagine how these guys would fare after his departure. He was half convinced to stay back just to treat these people, but he had to stop himself. They were in this business knowing that their death was part of their main course… he can’t save everyone.

Pondering, Jaune enters the area where the refugees are camping. The sight of him brought smiles to the eyes of the children who were awake and they would rush to him asking about how his day was. The knight liked children a lot. Their smile eased him and it also made him work hard. This is not the place a child should be, yet here they were. The guilt that was present in his heart, rears its ugly head and worms its way into his mind.

This was a newly built settlement. The last settlement where people from Atlas were camping was attacked overnight by Salem in the early days of the war. That skirmish took the lives of many people, including Weiss’ mother and brother. Many children died that day. Weiss and Winter were never the same after Willow and Whitley's death. There were times when Jaune would hear Weiss cry in the night, but he never dared to approach her, and that made him feel worse. She had helped him recover and he couldn’t help her back then and he can’t help her now.

The children would accompany him to his tent and they would say their goodbyes and be on their merry way. Jaune’s tent was not big but it was also not small. It was enough to room three people with beds and he used to share this space with Oscar and Qrow. It had enough space to hold a small portable stove in between and it was high enough for Jaune to stand up straight. But these days it is quite different. Oscar’s bed was neatly folded away and given to someone who needed it more than them. Qrow rarely appears back, so Jaune is mostly alone.

The knight flops down on his bed and he unbuckles his sword from his waist. His eyes get drawn by the small moths that are hovering around his camp light and he is drawn to it. Today was a very long day and he was exhausted. The stove was warming the camp enough to make it cozy and Jaune slowly got rid of the coat he was wearing. As he folded the coat to act as his makeshift pillow, he sensed someone standing outside his tent.

“Jaune, are you awake?” a voice asks and Jaune immediately recognizes who the person is.

“Winter? Yes, I’m awake”, Jaune replies and the flaps of the tent open to reveal Winter. Prim and proper, but she seemed quite hesitant to enter.

“I hope I’m not disturbing you”, Winter asks standing at the entrance.

Jaune smiles and says, “No! You were not. Please make yourself comfortable”. The military officer takes up the offer the knight made and sits on the Qrow’s bed. While she was making herself comfortable, Jaune took this moment to study her.

She had no sway in her movement, it meant she was sober. The way she appeared at his tent, meant that she followed him from the bar. The way she was hesitant to enter, explained to Jaune that she was not here for pleasantries. It was at this moment, Jaune knew very well that Winter came to him to discuss.

“How is life treating you, Jaune?” Winter asks as an ice-breaker.

Jaune shrugs his shoulders in indifference as he replies, “Same thing, different day. Nothing new. How are you?”

Winter lets out a sigh as she says, “Same here. Still trying to get used to not having my powers, but other than that, just like you said, nothing new”.

As soon as the explosion that claimed the lives of Ruby and others occurred, Winter lost her maiden powers. From what Jaune knew, the powers of maidens came from Ozpin. Since Oscar was dead now, it would make sense that he would reincarnate, but this time Salem was dead for good, which means that Ozpin’s hell also came to an end and thus the maiden power, which was his essence, also vanished. Winter was not overly sad about losing the powers if it meant that Salem was slain for good.

“And how is the search coming together?” Jaune asks.

“Yeah… about that. We are still looking. The Grimm concentration has gone down due to what Dr. Polendina calls the residual energy left by Ruby’s silver eyes, but it won’t stay for long. We have to find the relics as soon as possible”, Winter replies.

Jaune nods in agreement and replies, “Well, it's a good thing that we have the relic of destruction”.

“We have to thank Ruby for holding onto that”, Winter says and suddenly she sensed the knight’s mood go down into a spiral. The soldier had an inkling of how much Ruby meant to him. Her sister had given her enough hints regarding that. But seeing the knight so heartbroken saddened Winter a lot. He was a good man. He had suffered enough. So, she decides to steer the conversation in the direction she intended to at the beginning.

“I got a word from the hospital. They told me that Weiss would be fit for discharge in a week. She would still be hooked up to oxygen and IVs but we can take her away”, Winter says.

Jaune’s mood brightens up immediately and with glee, he exclaims, “That’s great news, Winter! I’m happy for you”.

It causes the white-haired woman to smile but her mood drops and says, “It is good news, but I’m not sure about this, Jaune”.

“What’s wrong? You can tell me anything, Winter”, the knight asks.

“Jaune, as you know, my hands are tied. As much as I want to make Weiss my main priority, it's… it's just that I don’t trust anyone enough to find the relics and not use them for their gain. Headmaster Theodore is a good man, but I want to be there when we find those relics. I also don’t have enough trust in a stranger to take care of Weiss in my place. And not to forget, I hate to be that person, but this is not the place I want Weiss to be in as she recovers”, Winter laments as she leans forward, using her knees as support.

Jaune understood where her concerns came from. Vacuo, while it was kind enough to let the refugees live, the natives wouldn’t hesitate to abandon them when the chances of survival come into play. The Vacuan arms were open to anyone who was able to survive the harsh conditions and the refugees were mere civilians who were thrust into this war. He had heard a passing rumor about how few of them were planning to make a trip to East Sanus and Anima. Some were even contemplating to travel as far as Solitas and Menagerie. This was not a place you would have someone like Weiss stay.

But there was something that bothered Jaune a lot. The way Winter hesitated to find words after what she had just said, the way she refused to look into his eyes said that there was more she wanted to say. He doesn’t say a word, allowing all the time he could spare for Winter to articulate her thoughts.

“At the bar, I overheard you saying that you were planning to move back to your family”, Winter starts, looking a bit guilty.

“I am”, Jaune confirms.

“Jaune, what Ansel is like?” Winter asks.

The knight was taken aback by the question his friend’s sister posed. The only person he had divulged about his hometown was Ruby and it was during their trip to Haven Academy. To hear someone ask about it… it was new.

Racking his blurry memories, Jaune replies, “It’s a small town in Vale. It has a lot of farms and vineyards. We don’t live near the sea, but the rivers make up for it. It doesn’t get too hot in summer and it doesn’t get too cold in winter. Once in a while, the snow sticks. The people are friendly and we do have a good number of huntsmen protecting the town”.

Winter nods and in a hesitant voice, she asks, “So is it a good place for Weiss to recover?”

“Definitely! It is a great place for anyone who wants to settle down”, Jaune replies absently.

The soldier bites her lips as if she was contemplating what to say next. She looked at him, and Jaune could easily say that she was being hesitant.

“Winter, is there something you want to say?” Jaune asks with a small smile on his face. This causes the white-haired woman to be surprised, but in the end, she just lets out a sigh. She remains quiet for a while, and then she takes a deep breath and looks into the knight’s eyes directly.

“There is something I wanted to ask. It’s more of a request”, Winter starts and she pauses for a second. She takes in one more breath and asks, “Will you take Weiss with you?”

Jaune didn’t see that coming. To be honest, he expected something along the lines of staying here which he was about to decline. But taking Weiss with him… that had never occurred to him. Why would it occur? Weiss, at best, was a good friend. He used to have romantic feelings for her in the past, but he outgrew it. And now, her sister is asking him to take her with him to his home.

“Winter, do you even realize what you are talking about?” Jaune asks while trying his best to keep his voice in check.

“I know what I just said, Jaune”, was the reply Winter gave.

“Why me? Just a moment ago you told me that you don’t trust a stranger to look after Weiss! What made you think that I am the right man for the job!?” the blonde knight asks in bewilderment.

“You are not a stranger, Jaune”, Winter starts in a gentle voice, which was quite rare to hear from her. She takes his hands in hers and says, “Weiss never considered you a stranger. As far as I know, she considered you as someone more than a friend. You are Weiss’ family”.

This causes the words to get stuck in Jaune’s throat. He… He had no arguments against that. He remains quiet as the elder Schnee sister continues to say, “You might be wondering why I chose you. It's because I know very well that you would do everything in your power to care for her. Nora and Ren will travel back to Kuroyuri to rebuild it and they won’t be able to look after her. I don’t know others well enough to know how they were with my sister. But you Jaune… I know you well. You never shirked away from responsibility and I feel at ease when she is with you”.

She continues to say, “And you just explained what Ansel was like. With how peaceful it sounds, I believe that place is the best place for Weiss to recover”.

“What if… what if screw up?” Jaune asks hesitantly. He would do that. Things never go right when it comes to him. If Winter was trusting Jaune enough, she should also know what she was getting into.

“You won’t. I know you enough to know that you won’t fail”, Winter says but Jaune doesn’t look convinced enough.

“I don’t know about that, Winter. It's a huge risk we are taking here”, the knight says.

“Then how about this? With things I have going on for me right now, it would take at least a year for me to wrap up. How about you just look after her for a year, and then I will move to Ansel and take her from your hands?” Winter suggested and Jaune took a moment to go through what she had just said. A year didn’t seem long enough. But if Winter says that it would take her a year to dig up the other relics, then it would be better if he is around Weiss for that time.

“Jaune. You are the only person I trust. I beg you to take Weiss away from here. My little sister has suffered enough. I don’t want her to be in pain any longer”, Winter states with tears in her eyes, and that is something Jaune doesn’t want to see.

“Ok”, Jaune replies, which causes the white-haired woman to look at him. “I will take her with me. Just… Please don’t cry. You can rest assured that she will be cared for”, he says as the soldier moves in for a hug. It was not an intimate one. He could feel how exhausted Winter was and he could imagine how good it must have felt for her to have this weight lighten up a bit. He didn’t have anything to do in his life. He couldn’t save his friends. He couldn’t save Ruby. But if he can seek some sort of satisfaction and redemption by taking care of Weiss, then he shall take this chance.

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

“Did you get everything you needed?” Winter asks as she walks Jaune towards the Atlesian Cargo plane.

“Yep!” Jaune says with a slightly upbeat voice.

“Your driving license?”

“In my pocket

“Weiss’ medical reports?”

“In my bag”.

“Medicines?”

“In Weiss’ bag along with her clothes and her stuff”.

“Myrtenaster?”

“Perfectly polished and in the car”.

“Crocea Mors?”

This causes Jaune to pause in his stride. He looks at the elder Schnee sister and with a deadpan expression on his face, he asks, “Winter… did you seriously expect me to forget about my weapon?”

She raises her hands in exasperation and says, “Weiss told me that while you were competent in some things, you are also absent-minded in other things”.

“Thanks for the vote of confidence, Weiss”, Jaune mutters to himself as both of them walk into the cargo bay where the car Winter had acquired for him was parked. It was a top-class Atlesian Military Jeep. It had some wear and tear due to its use, but otherwise, it ran like a breeze. Its tires were secured to the floor of the plane and it held a lot of spare dust in its canisters. It was not too big, but it could hold a lot of things and right now it was holding precious cargo.

Strapped to the back of the driver seat was Weiss. She was hooked up to an IV and a portable oxygen cylinder hooked into her nasal cannula. The back seats were detached and were tied to the jeep’s roof. There were a lot of things next to the sleeping beauty. A long wooden case where her weapon was carefully stored away. There was an oxygen concentrator that Jaune was supposed to set up when the portable cylinder was not in use. A bag that had her medicine and clothes. Jaune’s rucksack was next to her bag since he had too little to carry. There were some tools and spare dust in case of an emergency.

“So it’s time, huh?” Winter says as she tears up a bit she reaches out to Weiss and kisses her forehead. She then looks at Jaune and says, “Please do take care of her and yourself. I will try to finish my job as soon as possible”.

“I will hold onto that”, Jaune says with a smile as he goes in for a hug which Winter graciously returns.

“Thank goodness we are on time”, they hear Nora exclaim and they see both Ren and Nora jog into the bay.

“Hope we are not late”, Ren pantingly says.

“You guys are just in time”, Winter says with a smile, and at that moment, Nora tackles her leader into a bear hug.

“I’m going to miss you so much, fearless leader” Nora sobs, and Jaune can’t help but smile and hug her back.

“I’m gonna miss you too, Nora”, Jaune says as he lets go and then he looks at Ren and hugs him.

“Take care of Weiss and yourself, brother. Do visit us once she recovers”, Ren says with a small smile on his face.

“Sure”, was the reply Jaune gave.

“One more thing, Jaune”, Winter says, and Jaune looks at her as she carefully rummages through the sling bag she had on her. She produces two jars and looks at them lovingly with a sad expression on her face and says, “It's Mother and Whitely. I thought it would comfort Weiss a bit if they are with her”, and she hands them over to Jaune gently.

“I will take good care of them”, Jaune reassures Winter as he holds those jars as if his life depended on it.

“I know you will”, Winter says in a gentle tone, and at that moment horns go off.

At first, it startled the group, and they looked around to see how everyone was gearing up. The knight looks back at the people and says, “Well I guess it's time to go”.

“I will inform you if something happens here. Just send me an update on Weiss’ health every week”, Winter says to which the blonde nods. Then all of them engulf him in a hug. It surprised him but he couldn’t hug them back since his hands were full and he returned the gesture by craning his neck over their shoulder. They held onto each other for what felt like a minute and then they let go.

“Stay in touch”, Ren says with a smile and he drags Nora away who was waving at him madly. But Jaune knew very well how awkward Ren was. He smiles at his departing friends.

“Give me an update as soon as you reach Ansel”, says Winter.

“Sure”, Jaune replies with a smile on his face, and the white-haired woman returns in kind. She then walks away, just in time for the doors of the cargo bay to start closing. The blonde knight opens the door to the passenger seat and places the jar on it. He then looks at Weiss one last time, making sure that her ears are well covered with earbuds.

He then sits in the driver’s seat and his mind wanders. He was going to start a new chapter in his life. Weiss would be with him for a year. Till then, he would do his best to make her better and comfortable. As he felt the plane take off, he couldn’t help but get excited because Ansel was so far away.

Sliding Into Home Master List Main Masterlist

Michael David Weiss knew that he was going to be a lawyer. His parents had always commented that the amount Mike had complained and argued, the only thing he could be was a lawyer. He was in Debate Club in high school and college, part of student court, played baseball with Frank and was infatuated with Abby.

What he was expecting was falling for Frank’s little sister. Diane Adler was something that came out of left field. He came home from school during winter break and met up with his best friend. Abby wasn’t going to be here for break as she was visiting family, so it was just he and Frank. Frank was making popcorn for the movie and grabbing a couple of beers. Mike was on his phone when a voice called out.

“Hi Mike.”

When he looked up, he saw a curvaceous blonde looking back at him. “Diane?”

“Hey.” She walked, no, glided into the room and sat on the couch, checking her phone. Mike swallowed. Diane was a scrawny kid, five years younger than himself, but she looked like a dream now. Her long blonde hair had hung to her waist, her curves peeking under her knit sweater and leggings.

Diane had made sure she looked good when she found out Mike was coming home. She had a crush on him since she was eight. She was eighteen now and grew into her long limbs and cornsilk hair. She saw, out of the corner of her eye, how Mike reacted to her. She smiled to herself. He might be five years older, but she was mature for her age.

Or so she thought.

Mike and Diane hid their affair from her brother and best friend. They would meet at shady motels whenever Mike came back into town, had sex, smokes weed, drink, whatever they wanted. Mike also introduced Diane to harder drugs, things he used to stay awake and study or bring him down to sleep. It was a vicious cycle that eventually destroyed their relationship.

When Diane found out she was pregnant, she sent a letter to Mike to tell him. He hadn’t reacted well, calling her a slut, a whore. That she slept around and the baby couldn’t possibly be his. He ordered her to get rid of it. But Diane couldn’t. It wasn’t her baby’s fault that its father didn’t want them. She kept clean and gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She didn’t list Mike as the father because her shame took over. She gave in to the darkness of her addiction and gave up hope of raising her little girl. So, she left her with the two people she knew would love and care for her the most.

Mike didn’t want to be associated with the baby. But he still went back and had fun with Diane. They got high together still, fooled around, although Mike was more careful now. And when Diane wanted Mary back, Mike made sure he provided the evidence so she never could.

This turned out to bite him in the ass.

He had a drunk night with Bobby Fuller and he told him everything. And he used drugs in front of Bobby, who had refused to get high with him for the sake of his career. He thought, with the collaboration in destroying Frank’s image and relationship, that the comradery would continue.

Until he saw Bobby, sitting in the gallery, waiting to be called as a witness for Frank and Abby.

“Your Honor, I am not sure why Mr. Fuller was called as a witness as he has never interacted with the child,” Mike argued.

“Whether or not Mr. Fuller has interaction with the child is not a testament to Mr. Weiss’s competency as a parent,” Andy said. “Mr. Fuller can provide an insight into the daily life of Mr. Weiss since he was living with Mr. Fuller for the last couple of months.”

The judge looked back and forth. “I’m going to allow it as Mr. Weiss has yet to prove that he is a fit parent.”

“Thank you, Your Honor,” Andy said. “We would like to call our first witness, Mr. Scott Evans.” Scott stood up and went to the witness chair. “Hello Mr. Evans. Can you tell me how long you have worked for Mr. Adler?”

“Almost six years.”

“And have you witnessed any red flags in Mary’s care?”

“No.”

“In your opinion, has Frank Adler been a model parent to his niece?”

“Yes, I believe so. I mean no parent is perfect, but he does his best when it comes to Mary. She was four when I met her. She loved her uncle so much. They have traditions when they are together, he calls every day when he is on the road. He makes sure she knows that she and his wife are the center of his world.”

“What do you think of Abby?”

“She is wonderful. She puts Mary first, much to the annoyance of Frank.” The room chuckles. “She would do anything for Mary.”

“Thank you, Scott. No further questions.” Andy sat down as Mike stood up.

“Mr. Evans, have you ever seen Mr. Alder or Dr. Adler consume alcohol in front of Mary?”

Scott frowned. “Occasionally, at home. When we go out to dinner, one of them does but the other stays sober to drive.”

“At home, have you ever seen them drink more than, let’s say, two drinks in a night or do any other substances?”

“Maybe after Mary has gone to sleep, we might drink a little more. Never anything else. Frank was clear when I was hired that he wouldn’t tolerate any drugs in the house.”

Mike frowned. This wasn’t going his way. “Thank you, Mr. Evans.”

“Alright, I want to speak to Mary alone,” the judge said. “As this is between three people, Mr. Evans, I would like to ask you to be her guardian as a witness.” Scott nodded, took Mary’s hand and started to walk her back to the judge’s office. But before they go too far, Mary let go and ran back to Frank. She threw herself into his arms.

Frank kissed the top of her head. “It’s ok Nugget. Just be honest, ok?”

“I love you dad.”

“I love you too.” He let her go and Mary hugged Abby.

“Love you mama.”

“I love you too baby girl.” She pushed her towards Scott. She stepped back and Frank took her hand. “Frankie,” she whimpered.

“Its ok Cricket. She’ll be with Scott and she’s gonna be right back.” He led her back to their seats, rubbing his thumb over her knuckles. He spared a glance to Mike who grinned. “What a jackass,” he said under his breath.

“Don’t Frankie,” Abby whispered. She looked at Mike, who wiggled his fingers. He wants a reaction in front of the judge.

“I hate this, Cricket.”

“I know.” She leaned against him and closed her eyes. The nausea came back, and she reached down for the ginger iced tea she had brought with her.

“You ok, Cricket?” Frank frowned as Abby took a big sip.

“Your child is misbehaving,” she said with a smile. “I’ll be ok.”

Just then the door opened, and Mary and Scott came back. Mary ran right into Frank and sat on his knee, hugging him around his neck. “Alight,” the judge said. “Mr. Barber, you had another witness?”

“Yes, Your Honor. I would like to call Robert Fuller to the stand.” Bobby nervously patted his hair and walked to the front. “If it is ok with the court, I would like to invite Mr. Weiss to speak to Mr. Fuller first,” Andy asked.

“That’s an unusual request but I’ll allow it,” the Judge said.

Mike stood up and looked at Bobby. “Mr. Fuller, would you consider us friends, right?”

“Yes.”

“Have I ever said to you that Mary wasn’t my daughter?”

“No.”

Mike smirked. “Noting further.”

Andy stood up. “Mr. Fuller, you know my client, Frank Adler.”

“Yes.”

“How did you meet?”

“We met at training camp for the Boston Red Sox. We were rookies together.”

“Friends?”

“Yeah, we were friends. I was there when Frank had to take custody of Mary.” Bobby swallowed.

“Is it true that you helped drug Mr. Adler in Las Vegas approximately six years ago?”

Mike stood up. “Objection, relevance.”

“Withdrawn. Mr. Fuller, when did Mr. Weiss come to stay with you?”

“Three months ago or so.”

“Any reason why?”

“He said he needed a place to crash while he figured some stuff out.”

“Is it true that you came forward on your own?”

Bobby looked at Mike. “Yes.”

“Why?”

“I needed to be honest.”

“Was there something weighing on you?”

“Yes.”

“Want to explain?”

Bobby hesitated. “I – I heard Mike saying that he wanted to mess up Frank’s life. That he stole Abby from him, and he wanted to take away the only other person that he loved. He said he knew that he was Mary’s father but...”

“But what, Mr. Fuller?”

“I’d rather not say in front of Mary.”

The judge understood. “Mr. Evans, can you sit with Mary outside of the court for a few minutes. We’ll call you back in a few minutes. Bailiff, please have a deputy stand guard.”

Everyone moved as needed before the court settled again. “Mr. Fuller, please continue,” Andy said.

“Mike said he knew he was Mary’s father but that he wished Diane had listened to him and gotten rid of the baby. That the baby almost fucked, sorry, messed up his life. That he didn’t want to change his life from booze, drugs and women.”

“Drugs?” Andy spun back to Bobby. “Have you ever seen Mr. Weiss use drugs?”

“Yes.”

“Liar! You’re a fucking liar Fuller!” Mike rose from his seat and the bailiff moved to keep Mike in his area. “You know shit!”

“Mr. Weiss, control yourself or you will be removed from the courtroom. Bailiff, stand there and make sure Mr. Weiss does not leave his seat.” The judge glared at Mike. “Mr. Fuller, do you have any proof of these transgressions?”

“Yes. My apartment has a doorbell camera and a camera that is in the kitchen watching the door. I’ve had a couple of break ins. The kitchen camera caught Mr. Weiss shooting up.”

Abby gasped and covered her mouth. Frank growled softly and held Abby’s other hand to ground himself. The sick bastard was a drug user and wanted custody of his daughter. Over his dead body.

“Mr. Fuller has forwarded that video to me today and I have submitted it to the court clerk for the record. Based on this evidence, we request that his objection to the adoption be rejected and allow the adoption to be expedited due to trauma Mary has experienced. We want her to be settled as soon as possible.”

The judge looked over the video that had been loaded to his tablet. “Based on evidence presented, I am rejecting the objection to the adoption and rejecting Mr. Weiss’s claim for custody as a parent. Mr. Weiss is unfit to be a parent in any capacity. I will be forwarding my recommendation to the judge in the adoption case.”

“No! She is my kid! You can’t do this!” Mike yelled. The bailiff placed his hand on Mike’s shoulder to hold him in place.

“Furthermore, I am rejecting bail for you, Mr. Weiss. You will be taken back into custody as a flight risk and face the charges of kidnapping and child endangerment. Bailiff, please place Mr. Weiss under arrest.”

“No! You son of a bitch!” Mike tried to lunge at Frank who placed himself in between Mike and Abby. “You fucked up my life!”

“You did it the moment you took the drugs and got my sister pregnant. We’ll see you at trial.”

Mike thrashed and yelled obscenities at Abby and Frank. It took four deputies to get him back into custody. Once his voice was no longer heard, the judge motioned to the deputy at the door. Mary and Scott walked back in. “Young lady, you have been very brave the past few weeks. I wanted to personally let you know that no one is going to stop your parents from finishing the adoption.”

“Really?!”

The judge chuckled. Really. “We are adjourned.”

Frank whipped his family into his arms. Abby and Mary sobbed into his chest as he fought his own tears. “Thank you,” he mouthed to Andy, who smiled at the family. He reached over and grabbed Scott to pull him in. As he let go, Bobby walked up to them. “Adler, can I talk to you?”

Frank cocked his head to the side, and he stepped away from his family. “Yeah?”

“I just wanted to apologize to you. For helping Weiss, treating you like crap,” he swallowed, “and for Vegas. I knew it was wrong, but Weiss twisted everything.”

“Yeah, he does that.”

“Yeah well, when he talked about taking Mary away, I just couldn’t stomach that. When I heard about the motion, I called Andy and said I needed to say my piece. I’m really sorry man, for everything.” He stuck out his hand.

Frank grasped it and shook. “Thank you for telling the truth.” Bobby nodded and walked out of the court. Mary ran up to Frank and tugged on his hand.

“Can we go to eat? I’m starving,” Mary proclaimed.

“Sure, Nugget, let’s get outta here.”

The group headed to dinner and sat around in a private room. A bottle of champagne is passed around. Abby stops the waiter from pouring in her glass. “None for me, thank you.”

“You? skip champagne? Scott snorted. “What are you, pregnant or something?” he joked.

Abby smiled. “Sure am.”

Scott sputtered his champagne. “What?”

“We’re gonna have a baby.” Frank and Abby shared a look before Frank leaned over and kissed Abby softly. “Love you mama.”

“Love you too Daddy.”

Just three more parts left!

Considering Murder (Final Rose AU)

Weiss took another sip of the brandy. It had a delightful peach flavour, and she should probably have stopped drinking it a glass or two ago.

“If I didn’t know any better,” Weiss drawled. “I’d say you were trying to get me drunk, Yang.”

The blonde took a sip of her own brandy and favoured Weiss with a toothy smile. “That’s because I am.”

Weiss raised one eyebrow, or at least, she thought she did. Judging from the amused snicker from Blake and the mirth in Yang’s gaze, her expression was likely less than imposing. “Are you planning on taking advantage of me?”

“Nope. I’ve got Elsa and Averia for that sort of thing.” The words were met with another snicker from Blake. The Faunus had drunk at least as much as Weiss, but she wasn’t handling it quite so well. Hah! Weiss might be tiny, but she’d done more than her fair share of drinking. “You just looked as though you could use a good drink.”

Weiss huffed. “Fuck, yes, I could use a good drink.” She was normally more on guard around other people, but this was her team. They had literally killed for each other. If she couldn’t trust them, then what was the point of even being here? “My father called the other day, you know. He’s been looking for people to marry me off to.”

“Well, shit,” Yang said. “Do we need to get rid of him?”

Weiss giggled. “Yang...”

“If you want,” Blake offered. “I know some people who could do it.” The Faunus patted Weiss’s leg. “They’d make it look like an accident.”

The best - and worst part - was that Blake was completely serious. It was a far cry from the initial wariness they’d felt toward each other. “While I appreciate the offer, I don’t think it’s necessary.”

“Yet,” Yang said. “It’s not necessary yet.”

Weiss giggled. Her glass was empty, so she poured herself more brandy. Dust, it was good. She’d have to ask Yang where she’d gotten it from because it hadn't come in a labelled bottle. “I should be worried that we’re discussing my father’s murder. Instead, I just feel... liberated.”

“Murder tends to have that effect,” Yang replied sagely. “Not that I would know.”

“...” Blake eyed Yang speculatively. “You’re not nearly subtle enough. Averia?”

“Diana,” Yang replied. “Trust me. If you ever need to get away with murder, ask her.”

“Oh, I have to hear more,” Weiss said. “And where did you get this brandy?”

“We have a neighbour back home,” Yang replied. “He owns some orchards. He grows Sally’s favourite mangoes, as well as a bunch of other stuff. He makes booze in his spare time. Peach brandy is something he’s been working on for a while. He sent some to my Uncle Qrow, and my uncle passed on a few bottles.”

“Your uncle is a scholar and a gentleman.” Weiss raised her glass. “And you can tell him I said that.”

“I think he’d find that hilarious.”

“Back to the murder,” Blake said. “What happened?”

Yang flopped back onto the floor. Honestly, sitting in a circle and drinking booze was hardly the height of maturity, but Weiss found that she rather liked it. Sally padded over, and the true salamander flopped across Yang’s belly. Weiss giggled again and reached over to scratch Sally’s scales. Intimidating appearance aside, Sally was a sweetheart.

“It was a mission back when I was at Signal. Diana and I went together. She’s young, you know, but she’s got Ragnarok. Hell, even without it, I’d trust Diana to kick just about anyone’s ass. Anyway, we get there, and it turns into a complete shit show. The guy who posted the mission had lied about just about everything. The settlement came under attack almost immediately, and he’d done all sorts of evil shit. I’m talking about embezzling funding from the militia, abusing his authority, all that kind of crap.”

Weiss’s nose wrinkled. “Murder is sounding more justified by the moment.”

Blake’s lips curved up into a cold, cold smile. “Back home, someone like that would get a knife between the ribs before being kicked off the walls to feed the Grimm.”

“Anyway,” Yang sat up and lifted Sally into her lap. “We kill all the Grimm and sort everything out, and it occurs to me that if we leave, this guy is just going to pull the same crap. Even worse, he was well connected. Getting him to quit or removing him wouldn’t be easy.”

“So what did you do?” Weiss asked.

Yang shrugged. “Punched a hole in him.”

“...” Blake shook her head. “Are you fucking serious?”

“Hey, he was an asshole. More to the point, we found out how he’d gotten the position in the first place.”

“Oh?”

“Killed his predecessor. We even got Aunt Yeul to confirm it.” Yang glared. “I would have done worse, but it just made me so mad. We’re fighting Grimm, for fuck’s sake. We’re not supposed to be stabbing each other in the back.” She sighed and drank some more brandy. “Anyway, Diana finds me, and she just looks at me.”

“And then?”

“And then she shifts her arm into a claw, the kind a Beowolf has... and she rips him to bits. Next thing I know, she’s shouting for people to come over... and then she kind of, I don’t know, pukes up this Beowolf. She must have eaten it earlier or something. When everybody gets there, she just shakes her head and tells everyone what happened. He and I were on patrol when we got ambushed by Grimm. He got caught off guard, and I killed the Grimm. You should have seen her. Diana sold that lie like it was nothing but the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Shit. I would’ve thought she was telling the truth myself if I didn’t know better.”

“What happened next?”

“They chalked it up to a bit of good luck. Everybody wanted him gone, and they figured the Grimm just did us all a favour. Later, Diana slapped me over the back of the head and told me to speak to her the next time I wanted to commit murder.”

“Damn.” Blake nodded respectfully. “And she didn’t think any less of you?”

“Nah. It turns out she was already planning to sabotage his stove, so it would explode. If anything, she was more annoyed that she didn’t get to pull off her plan than anything else.”

Weiss sighed. “The frontier is rough, isn’t it?”

“You bet it is. You see the best and worst sort of people out there. My mother’s tribe earned their reputation out there. Shit. There’s still places where the Branwen name has people running for their lives or running over with gifts.” Yang glanced over to Ruby’s bed. Their team leader was out on a ‘special mission’ with Diana, which was a polite way of saying the two of them were going to stuff their faces down at Port Beacon’s newest bakery. “Ruby is going to be pissed when she realises we’ve been drinking without her.”

“It’s probably for the best,” Weiss replied. “Your sister can’t hold her liquor at all.”

Yang laughed. “She’s a damn light weight. It’s why she knows to never drink unless she’s around friends and family.” Her expression sobered. “Besides, she knows there are things she’s not quite ready to talk about yet. She’s younger than all of us.”

“She’s older than Diana,” Blake pointed out.

“It’s not just about age,” Yang replied. “Ruby is... sweet. She thinks the best of people, and she hasn’t seen all the shit I have.” Yang ran one hand over her face. “Fuck. I hope she never does either. It’s... yeah. You know, my Aunt Lightning will be taking Ruby on some missions soon, try to get Ruby up to speed on that... that side of hunter life. But for the time being...”

“She’s the optimist,” Blake said quietly. “And I hope she never changes.”

“Yeah.” Yang smiled. “That’s right.”

“I’m glad someone on our team can be an optimist,” Weiss said. “Dust knows I’m not an optimist.”

“Like I said,” Blake murmured. “If you ever need your father murdered... ask me, not Yang.”

“Yes, well, if my father suddenly turns up with a hole punched through his chest, I know who’s to blame.”

“Hey!” Yang huffed in mock anger. “I’ve improved. I’d totally stage an accident or something.”

How's this for a new year's resolution: I'll post my list of (mostly) Genshin fic ideas and see if I can knock at least half of them off the list by years end.

List of ideas below the break.

Short fics (1k-5k)

Hollow Stone

Ningguang coping with Keqing's temporary absence

Thought she was the strong one in the relationship, caring for Keqing's vulnerabilities

Now Keqing's away for a bit and Ningguang finds herself miserable and jealous

Corvids

Sara and the Shogun considering crows

Their qualities, and the way people perceive them

Keqing the Conquerer (this is not the final name lol)

Keqing and Jean reunite in Liyue after their time together* in Mondstadt

*Time together = doomed fling

Keqing and Ningguang are together at this point

At the Core (RWBY)

Ruby rescues Penny's core from the arena during the fall of Beacon

Hangs Penny's core from her belt because that's where everything goes lol

They can talk via Ruby's scroll

Follow the two of them on the road as they attempt to track down Yang and her kidnappers (mild post V3 rewrite ideas**)

Icebreaker Chapter 3 (RWBY)

Blake and Weiss get to work on their training commission, despite being badly hungover

Eula and Jean oneshot

Eula and Jean sparring session

Jean's cramped up from too long at her desk, can't fight properly

Eula forces her to undergo a painful therapeutic massage, as 'vengeance'

As usual, Eula's 'vengeance' is actually helpful

Eula/Lisa oneshot

Reading as the sun sets

Almost entirely inspired by this

Sara and Kuki's friendship over the years

Meet at the shrine, reconnect later, bond over mutual inability to fit in

Long fics (10k+)

Tidal Forces

Mona, post the fountain incident

Fears reprisal from Jean, worries about her unstuck place in the world

Bothered by Fischl, seeks advice from Albedo

A Sextant's Narrow View

Mona is down bad for Jean, makes a fool of herself in front of her repeatedly

Eula/Lisa, Post-Drunk Eula

Eula wakes up in Lisa's quarters, unsure how she got there

They talk and connect as Eula recovers over the day / hides out from anyone who might have seen her

Eula knows Lisa is kind and non-judgemental, wants some of that affection

Lisa admires Eula's unwavering good heart, despite everything she faces

Kindred Spirits

Keqing's trip to Mondstadt, where she meets and falls for a dashing Master of Knights

Inevitabilities

Mona and Jean struggle with their fears for each other

Yae adopts Sara AU

The Youkai are dwindling, Yae's lonely for her own kind (will not admit this)

Yae has a glimpse of Sara's future - a honed, powerful weapon for the Shogun, but almost entirely severed from her Tengu roots

She chooses to employ (raise) her at the shrine instead, show her what it is to be a Youkai

Basically lonely Yae & feisty teenage Sara dealing with supernatural threats to Inazuma, Light Novel Shonen Action

Kuki stumbles on Sara's secret and interesting adventures at the shrine, decides to stick around this time

Get Itto in there somewhere too, why not

Beidou adopts Bennett

Finds out about his curse, relates too hard

Takes him under her wing to attempt to prove that he isn't cursed

(He is cursed)

**Basically; after the fall and Yang's injury, Raven kidnaps her in a fit of motherly instinct. She helps Yang recover as she tries to rope Yang into her scheme to steal the Relic of Knowledge – doesn't have much of a plan past that beyond wanting to burn most of the current order down. Yang spends some time getting to know her mother as an adult, working through her own anger, finding she can relate to her mother's anger but can't get on board with her plan and has to find a way to thwart it, also meanwhile there's a whole arc where Weiss returns home but finds herself semi-trapped and SDC returning to its uglier history under her father's leadership, she needs help, maybe from someone familiar with social uprisings and SDC security systems, a certain cat-eared Faunus, maybe they kiss I've spent too much time thinking about RWBY to escape brain worms like this I'm sorry

#fanfic #fanfic ideas #new years resolution #genshin impact #jeanmona #qingguang #jeanqing #sarashogun #RWBY #monochrome #nuts and dolts #I know having lots of options is a good thing but every time I look at this list I get intimidated lol

Headcanon

Headcanon ( if this was stated to be false, i am sorry but there are a lot of ask and i might have missed or misunderstood some, but the bright side is, people are clearly invested in this AU, and i am one of them)

Ok we know Jaune is not the greater fighter and he badly needs assistance in sword practice but no one from his team uses them and the only professor is Qrow who could help, but when Jaune asked his help, the prof only answered something about bad luck and breaking crocea mors on accident or something, Jaune wasn’t sure, the teacher was a bit drunk, not like that wasn’t unusual. The only other person he knew in the academy was Weiss and since this was the beginning of the year and he already tried (horribly) flirting with her, he knew that any request from him would sound like him trying to flirt with her again, even if this time he had no such ideas. He promises. So the only other individual he could think of was Winter, and to his shock, she said yes.

Secreatly Winter said yes, because Weiss was complaning to her about her blond Scraggily stalker and Winter wanted to teach him a lesson, to her shoch, he actual did just want to get better at sword training and was actually doing a decent job at it.

Ooooh. Winter could be a good candidate for his secret swordmaster.

“Anyways. We were both there. I was a little drunk, she wasn’t. I bumped into Blake, literally walked right into her. Almost knocked her over. I apologized, and she tried to brush it off, but I just—I had to talk to her. I had to.

“I don’t really know why. I mean, obviously she’s beautiful, but it wasn’t—it wasn’t just that. I wanted to talk to her. And she didn’t seem opposed, so we wandered off a bit, up the beach to the woods. I don’t remember what we talked about. We ended up, uh, making out a bit. And then she finally asked for my name, and I told her, and Weiss had told her about me and she made the connection. And we decided that it…was probably a bad idea. For Weiss’s sake.

“I just…I don’t know. When I ran into her, she looked…scared? Or, or hurt, maybe. And later, you know, I learned why, but at the time I just saw that she was upset, not by me but just in general, and I wanted to…help. I saw her and I didn’t want her to be hurt anymore. I wanted to make her smile. So I did.”

posting this just so you guys know that i actually Did work on eternal sunshine au today

#evan says shit #eternal sunshine au #yes this is yang talking no yang does not remember blake. you'll see.

Well, I'm watching volume 3 and honestly I have so many thoughts about it I'm gonna make a first half and second half post. Buckle up because y'all now this is a wild ride! Also buckle up because this is were I start having some very controversial opinions lol.s

The show was airing the first half of this volume when I first got into it (it was somehow because of some amazing Ever After High fanart lol I still remember) so actually, Yang and Mercury's fight was my first experienced hiatus, you can imagine my distress lol.

Every volume the list of women who could step on me grows. But honestly, Winter is on top of that list. It's like they created her with all my weaknesses in mind...

The vytal festival fights are hilarious lol as the kids said, It was nice to see them all fight in a controlled and friendly enviroment instead of fighting actual murderers.

Yatsu and Coco and that poor team in the chapter 1 flashback did fight actual murderers tho, RIP to them (?

It's brawl in the family will forever be one of my favorite episodes lol Winter and Qrow simply steal the show everytime they're on the screen!

Also, I get other ships with the characters and understand why people doesn't like Snowbird... But I've had many people who don't watch the show watch that fight scene and the general consensus is always that they were flirting. That's the most sexual tension I've seen in this show, and we've had actual romantic partners interacting more than once lol

Anyways I ship Snowbird/Qrowin...

Subject change. Remember that scene when Mercury goes to tell Cinder he saw Qrow? At the end Cinder tells he and Emmerald to 'go to their rooms' ...but arem't they supposedly sharing a room since they're partners? Beacon teams all share a room so I don't get why they wouldn't lol.

I wish we could've seen more of Ciel Soleil, honestly, she was such a cutie lol. Kinda hoping She's brought back someday. If you are a fanfic writer and haven't tried to use Ciel as something like Penny's awkward and superserious bodyward in an AU, you should think about It, girl has potential!

"If you were one of my men I'd have you shot!" "if I were one of your men I'd shot myself" still one of the most iconic and epic moments in the series lol Go Qrow!!

Neon!!! God I loved Neon in this volume lol that girl is insuferable! She's also GayAF, I know It.

I'm the one is such a banger of a song! Top 3 of the volume, easily. Also, that fight is awesome, I adore seeing all the clues for what happened next now that, you know, I know what happened next lol.

Velvet worried about Coco <3 let these two be girlfriends!!

Winter fighting Qrow because he was drunk it's so painful after we learn about her family life. Trauma is a bitch.

Also, can I just say that I miss Willow? I knew I was gonna love her, but it was even more than I was expecting, I hope we get more Willow soon.

That scene in Ozpin's office when Ironwood looks at Oz, Glynda and Qrow before sighing and leaving is so telling of where his story was going. He was part of a team, yet he felt like it was him against the world. It's sad how much the others tried to show him their trust, but he was so into his fear that he couldn't see it.

I know this is a very controversial topic for the whole FNDM and that it was disproved multiple times, but I'll never get why would it be so bad if Ruby was Qrow's daughter. The signs are all there, It would make so much sense, and I don't feel it would've taken anything from the story. Alas, it wasn't meant to be*shrugs*

Penny tackling Ruby to the ground as a greeting is tradition <3 also she's always looking back at Ruby with the biggest smile on her face before leaving <3 God Penny is the most adorable girl I've ever seen. And my Nuts and Dolts shipping heart is so happy<3 and sad

Seeing Weiss and Winter interact always warms and breaks my heart at the same time, it's so obvious there's a lot of love there, but half of the time they don't really know how to show it. Again, trauma is a bitch.

Yang, baby </3 my heart breaks for you everytime I watch chapter 6. Honestly, I never fully forgave Mercury after that lol.

Pyrrha. Deserved. Better. Say it with me Rooster teeth!!!! God the whole vault scene is painful.

Also, Glynda: "We're still the same headmasters and teachers you knew the day you arrived to Beacon" Pyrrha: "This is literally the first time I met half the people here!"

Yes, I'm using dumb humor to deal with trauma

I lowkey ship WeissxFlynt honestly... Flynt's cool, I want more Flynt please.

But my imposible otp for Weiss still hasn't been introduced. If you follow me you know who I'm talking about and I'm willing to die on that hill. RT I'll forgive you for literally everything aside the v8 finally if you make them canon. Literally!!

You only get off the hook for v8 if you give me Nuts and Dolts.

I stan my point that Ironwood was hoping to have Penny eventually become a maiden and that's why she exist in the first place. I'm guessing the whole thing with the virus made him reconsider and that's why he turned to Winter later? Maybe?

Anyways, I still can't believe this is the tame half of the volume. I guess time to keep going and get my heart rip apart again. Good talk guys!

#rwby #pre volume9 rewatch #just salem rambling around #i'm already in pain #why do I do this to myself again?

Who says romance is dead?

Weiss: Exactly what is it, Bleiss, that you think is so-so *growls* so attractive about Jaune Arc!?

Bleiss: *From Jaune’s lap* Besides the fact that darling is very tall and so being held in his arms feels amazing?

Weiss: *Hadn’t expected a logical, clean answer and sputters, kinda jealous now*

Bleiss: Or that he has such messy, beautiful hair?

Jaune: *Blinks, touched*

Bleiss: Or a shade of eyes so blue you could get lost in them?

Yang: *Impressed* Huh.

Bleiss: Or that he’s so adorkable and such a genuinely good guy that I need never worry about the same thing Cow Tits over there is always complaining about?

Yang: I’d be offended but now I’m mostly just jealous.

Weiss: I-I see. I suppose I never should have--

Bleiss: *Dreamily* Or that darling is quite gifted and that any troubles I have can be washed away with fifteen to twenty minutes sitting on that pretty face of his? Or that he knows the best ways to fold me in half? Mmm, or perhaps he knows just when to call me his little slut and beat that pussy into a coma?

Blake: *Sighs, closes book and walks away*

Ruby: *As if she’s lived through war* My poor innocent ears have been violated again.

Weiss: *Bright red* I-I should have known!

Bleiss: Hey, no blushing! I don’t share and especially not with you!

Jaune: *Uncomfortable*

Weiss: *Tackles her twin and angrily noogies the screaming girl*

Shadows Are Made Of Light: Chapter 2

The house was quiet as everyone was there. Mercury had Oscar asleep against him, Yang, Blake, and Weiss sat in front of the fire and Ruby and Qrow were talking in the other room while Maria was reading still.

"It's like a diary. From the head of this household, Bartleby. Apparently, he and several other families founded this little settlement to try and live on their own. It sounds like it worked, at least for a spell." Maria explained.

"Grimm?" Mercury asked.

"Just one of many hardships. Slowed down their farming, made everything harder. It's a shame, really. He seemed like quite the ambitious fellow, always thinking of new schemes to overcome the odds." Maria smiled.

"Guys, Qrow said we should get some sleep. We're gonna head out early tomorrow." Ruby told them. Mercury motioned to Oscar currently asleep on him.

"Some of us already are on that." Mercury told her.

"Thank goodness." Yang muttered as everyone disregarded his statement and the three girls by the fire got up to walk elsewhere, Mercury didn't quite know where, probably to get blankets or something. Maria was muttering, getting up and moving to the chair next to a lamp, which she stubbornly turned on to continue reading.

Mercury wasn't sure when he fell asleep, only that he woke up holding Oscar, who was curled up to him like a little kid. It made him feel far too protective over this little farm boy, especially when he looked even younger while he was asleep.

"Good morning, silver boy." Maria greeted him, smirking as she shook Oscar a bit. "Time to wake up, little boy." Maria told Oscar.

"Auntie, ten more minutes." Oscar mumbled.

"I'm not your aunt and it's time to wake up, farm boy." Maria told him.

"Oz, gimme ten minutes." Oscar whined and Mercury laughed at the thought of Ozpin trying valiantly to wake a stubbornly tired farmhand to no avail.

"Hm?" Oscar looked up at him with sleepy eyes still. "Oh, sorry." Oscar let him go and let him up.

"You're fine." Mercury ruffled through the kid's hair. "Actually, I don't think we've really truly met yet." Mercury realized.

"I'm Oscar Pine, Ozpin's newest reincarnation." The kid told him.

"Mercury Black." He smiled at the kid as the girls seemed to filter awake after Ruby woke up and scolded her hungover uncle about their oversleeping.

Everyone seemed tired, Mercury quickly caught on that he and Ruby seemed to be the only ones retaining the majority of their energy. It was weird being in a position where he and Ruby were agreeing as they pushed the team to move forward.

"If we're all so tired, maybe we should make breakfast?" Blake suggested.

"You wanna make it?" Oscar asked.

"Not really." Blake answered.

"I'll make it." Mercury told them, fed up and marching into the house and into the pantry, grabbing a few cans and making an easy breakfast from the cans of spam and pre-cut veggies he found, bringing the pot, bowls, and silverware outside to practically force everyone's energies up.

"I'm not as good a cook as Neo but if you don't eat and stop bickering like three year olds for like five minutes, I will go insane and just start waking to Argus by myself and I will take Oscar and Maria with me." He snapped, handing a bowl to Oscar before moving on until everyone was eating and quiet.

"This is actually good." Yang remarked.

"Just spam and vegetables I found." He told her, eating his own breakfast.

"Make this again in Argus." Yang told him.

"Sure." He agreed, taking in the silence between the argument and happily enjoying that silence, where he could practically hear the soft snow hitting the ground lightly. He also enjoyed the fact that they apparently liked his cooking enough to consider keeping him around their group for it.

"You guys got the bike ready?" Ruby asked, sounding tired.

Mercury sighed as he gathered the finished bowls and took them back to clean in the house while they got ready to leave, he didn't want to hear this fight. he didn't want Ruby to succumb like the others but she was starting to sound exhausted too.

But, inevitably, he found himself back outside with Oscar and Maria, watching the fight over whether they were really going to go to Atlas or not unfold. The lamp, that lamp he knew absolutely nothing about. Ruby was dangling it over he well and he felt a surge of fear in his throat.

She screamed and dropped the lamp inside at something, which prompted Mercury to scream 'NO' at the action, coming to the well and looking over the edge of it and giving a groan when all he saw was darkness.

"No, no, no! I didn't mean to!" Ruby cried out, holding her head.

"Ruby, it's okay." Weiss tried.

"No! No, there's something down there, I saw its eyes, it was looking at me!" Ruby told them. Mercury looked for anything that could be eyes but came up with nothing.

"It's okay, you said you're tired. It's probably nothing. Now, let's go." Yang told her sister.

"What's wrong with you!? We can't just leave! We have to go down there! We have to get the lamp back! What was I thinking?" Ruby insisted.

"All we have to do is fix this trailer." Qrow drunkenly slurred. "Hey farm boy, check the shed for a spare." Qrow insisted. Mercury growled but ignored him.

"I'm not leaving without the lamp!" Ruby insisted.

"I'll go down with you." Mercury offered.

"We'll go down together." Weiss agreed.

"Fine, get the stupid lamp. Oscar, fix the stupid tire." Qrow began walking toward the house, past everyone.

"Where are you going?" Maria asked.

"Where do you think?" Qrow asked.

"Stupid." Maria remarked as Qrow went off to get even more drunk before she sat down to begin to read again.

Water was around him when he got down, Mercury very much didn't like. Water messed with his legs but he wasn't letting Ruby go down alone with her bunch of pessimistic friends. Ruby was leading the way with her flashlight, Mercury following her and ready to fight when Blake pointed out the glowing of the lamp a few feet away.

Ruby ran to get it only to come back screaming, with the lamp thankfully, and followed by the most frightening Grimm he'd ever seen before they let out a piercing shriek and Mercury felt his ears and eyes burn at it. His legs felt too heavy to move suddenly and he had no way of fighting.

"Run! Now!" Maria called, leading them, Mercury following his best, hearding the girls away and keeping them together, flinching when the inevitable next group of Grimm let out that shriek while Ruby and him began leading the team out and to hopeful safety but only ended up in the basement of the house again.

Maria was trying to get them to the exit, or at least usher Mercury and Ruby to it to free everyone of this nightmare, but he could barely get up onto his hands and knees. Blake was passing out, he heard Ruby trying to talk to her. He felt the room light up and he felt their influence dampen as Ruby got Blake away from them and Yang and Weiss went to break open the doors.

But the next shriek incapacitated even Ruby, but he was still standing, stubbornly standing. He wasn't scared of these things, even if they were nightmare fuel. He finally had people to lose again and he refused to lose them all in a day.

"Don't think about them." Maria told him, dragging his focus away from those exhausting monsters. "Think about the people who love you. Focus on the thought of them and the way they make you feel." She encouraged. Emerald. Neo. Maria. Yang. Oscar. Chrome.

"Life is beautiful. It is precious. And it must be protected." Maria recited like an ominous chant. He felt his eyes burn as he opened them, the room becoming alight with the brightest white light he'd ever seen.

Suddenly the Grimm were controlled, were dead. And Yang could bust out the door and they all went rushing from the basement, Ruby dragging Qrow along kicking and screaming as Yang ran to get the bike started and Weiss set the basement on fire.

Ruby and Weiss were dragging Qrow while Mercury hurriedly got Oscar onto the cart, protecting him from those horrible things. He didn't need to see them, this kid didn't need any nightmares of them.

They were a good yard away when Maria explained what they were, the Apathy. A Grimm that drained your energy to go on, explained how they came to be there. It made him shiver, but this time it wasn't from the cold.

Then the apologies began rolling in. Mercury didn't pay attention to that, he didn't care for them apologizing to each other because he wasn't involved so he chose to ignore it in favor of trying to figure out what happened in that basement still.

"Miss Calavera? How do you know so much about the Grimm? And in the tunnels, you knew exactly what to say. How?" Ruby asked her.

"Well, wasn't it obvious from the start, girl?" Maria laughed. "I had silver eyes."
