Summary: What if Raven was forced to stay with her family due to the Brawnwen tribe turning their back on her?
Meme: What If Meme
Raven: *feeding Baby Yang* "C'mon, kid, eat your slop!"
Baby!Yang: *fussy* "Gaah! Bleh!!"
Raven: *pulls the spoon away* "Ugh, I burped you, we had playtime, Hell, you don't even smell like shit. Overall, you hafta be hungry! Eat!" *pushes the spoon toward her daughter*
Baby!Yang: *on the verge of crying* "Eeeeehhh!"
Taiyang: *deadpan, holding a jar of applesauce* "Raven, you're feeding Yang spicy mustard."
Raven: *turns to her husband* "What? Our parents fed us that and we turned out okay."
Baby!Yang: *reaching out to her father* "Dadah, appah! Dadah appah!!"
Summer: Dammit, Rae! Can't you just accept that things might be going our way for once?!
Raven: Going our way how, Summer?! When was the last time anything went our way?! You've always been either too naive or too stupid to understand that nothing good just happens for us!
Summer: Call me stupid one more time, and I swear I will-
Taiyang: ENOUGH, BOTH OF YOU! The last two hours has been nothing but you two bickering and complaining! Now SHUT UP!
Raven: ...
Summer: Wow... I guess you might actually have what it takes to be team leader after all. (Leans in, Whispers) I want you to take me...
Taiyang: Take you where...?
Summer: Now~.
Taiyang: Uh, s-sure. Listen, um, Yang, Miss Summer and I need to, uh, take care of-
Raven: Oh, just go already! I'll keep an eye on the kid.
Yang: Wait, where are they going?
Raven: They just need some alone time, kid.
Yang: That's funny, because that's what Dad used to say when he went away with you.
Raven: Yeah... C'mon. I'll teach you how to build a campfire.
"raven and tai/summer are divorced" do you think raven has the patience and willpower to read through and sign divorce papers? do you think she even knows what divorce is? do you think summer and tai never had a fraction of hope that she'd come back? that woman is still, legally, married,
AU where Raven never left, Vernal is Yang's best friend and is secretly (everyone but Yang knows) in love with Raven. Summer is technically both Raven and Tai's mistress, so Ruby is still Yang's little sister. Blake is attending the school at Signal, mainly to scout out Patch to see if they could set up a base on the island and ends up crushing hard on Yang during her time there.
Raven: My island
Tai: Raven, you cant just call dibs on the island
Vernal: ‘smacks Tai’ Oh yes she can
Raven: Say it, say the island is mine
Summer: ‘smiles’ The island belongs to all of us
Raven: ....that’s fair ‘hugs Summer’ I love you Summer
Tai: What about....
Raven: ‘glares at Tai’ Not until you say it
Tai: ‘mutters’ I’m never going to say it
.....
‘Blake stares out of the bushes, scouting the mysterious family’
Blake: Day 1, the scary lady is very scary. Must watch to see if she is as dangerous as she seems
Yang: Hi
‘Blake screams and falls out of the bushes’
Yang: ‘walks out of the bush, beaming at the weird new girl’ Hi I’m Yang, did you just move here
Yang: *Spits in sink* Me and Blakey got a whole day planned-*Gargling & Swishing Mouthwash, Spits* We're gonna go for a walk in the park to get some pictures taken and do a little window shopping, then we're meeting up with her parents for lunch!
Ruby: You've got a whole day planned, Huh! Is there something special about to ... day ...
Ruby checks the calender - wednesday, Febuary 14th.
Valentines day
Ruby: Nonono! Not now! I haven't prepared!
Yang: Sorry Rubes! I gotta get dressed, so unless you wanna see me naked again, you should-
Ruby: I'm going, I'm going!
~~~~~
Ruby: Hey Weiss! Blake and Yang are busy-
Weiss: I have Dates planned Ruby! I'm afraid I can't help you.
Ruby: With- I'm sorry did you say 'Dates' as in Dates Plural?
Weiss: Yes I did.
Ruby: Isn't that kind of-
Penny: Salutations Ruby! I am here to see My Valentines for the day!
Ruby: Penny? You're going out with Weiss?
Jaune: I am too! We're going to be switching on and off throughout the day!
Ruby: What.
Penny: Knowing that you identify as 'Asexual' I inquired what romance felt like to Weiss, who was on her way to ask Jaune on a 'date.' Jaune brought up how Polyamorous relationships were uncommon but plausible, so Weiss agreed to spend her time with us both!
Ruby: ... Oh.
Weiss: Yes, and I still need to finish readying up! Please leave so that I may Dress!
~~~~~
Loud Thumping and groaning may be heard behind Ren and Nora's Door, along with slapping sounds.
Ruby: I dunno why I thought they'd be doing anything else.
~~~~~
Oscar: Hey Ruby! What're you up to?
Ruby: Finding you! Everyone else is busy with Valentines, so I figured "hey, Oscar hasn't seemed interested in anyone, and he know what romance is" so I looked for you so we could have a Totally Platonic hangout. Which, for Valentines day would be weird-
Whitley: *Barging in* Hello my Evergreen~ I brought Cinnamon raisin Oatmeal cookies for my most sweet of sweets~
Oscar: Uuuhh ... Sorry Ruby, I'm kinda busy?
Ruby:  ̄へ ̄
~~~~~
Ruby: *Knocking on Door* HEY UNCLE QROW!
Robyn: *Wrapped in a towel* Sorry kid, He's busy in the Bathroom.
Ruby: ... i though him and Clover-
Clover: I'm here Too!
Qrow: I got a big heart Kid! Now leave and let me bathe with these guys, or I'll tell them about your seventh brithday!
Clover: Now that I wanna hear!
Ruby: You wouldn't!
Robyn: *Holding Qrow's hand* He Would.
Ruby: ... Got it. Have a nice time. Please leave a sock on your handle next time this happens!

Ruby: ...
Emerald: How do they feel now?
Mercury: *Rubbing his legs, crying Slightly* They feel Real. They feel like they're back.
Ruby: Well That's sweet.
Emerald: We're trying. I'd talk more but concentration-
Ruby: And Merc seems like he needs you, have a nice day.

TaiYang: Hey! You've reached the Personal Scroll of Taiyang Xiao Long! At the moment I am pounding someone's ass right now, and Can't reach you! PLease leave a message at the Tone!
Ruby: *Hangs up* Safe to assume that's where Raven is.
~~~~~
Ruby: ... Hey? Hey Torchwick!
Roman: *Sitting at a table at a cafe* Little Red, I'm not in the mood for any of our games today.
Ruby: What do you mean?
Roman: Look, Neo's a free spirit, and on today of all days, she's reveling in Warm bodies rather than cold blood, leaving little ol' me out to dry, just cause the way I get down and Dirty is only ever stylish not sexy.
Ruby: ... yeah, I get that. Everyone I can think of is either being horny or romantic. It's annoying.
Roman: Oh-ho-ho! It seems the little nightmare for all the criminals in Vale is and Ace of Spades, huh?
Ruby: Well ... *Unfurling Crescent Rose as she takes a seat* Wrong Farm tool, but yeah, my flags fly white, gray, Green and Purple.
Roman: ... how about truce for today? I get the feeling if we stay out of each other's trouble our friends and family can have a nice day.
Ruby: No assault, theft from Mom and Pop shops, no murders, no trafficking and no destruction of property.
Tai/Raven with "Stirb nicht vor mir" by Rammstein?
Warning: This one ends in death.
Sorry!
This was a mistake.
It’s not meant to happen likethis!
But asshe stood over the fading body of the Deathstalker, Raven felt all of the blood drain from herface as she fell to her knees, pulling close the bleeding form of a Hunter sheknew in days gone past. Her Aura was shot, her blade far too dull.
She wastoo slow this time.
"Taiyang,“she whispered. "Taiyang, please. Wake up. It’s not your time yet, wakeup!”
Eyelidsfluttered open slightly as breathing became shallow. Somehow, he managed togive her that same playful smirk he always had.
"Heythere,“ he croaked. "How’s my precious Raven?”
"Taiyang,just hold on. We’ll get you help, I promise-“ Raven’s words were cut offby a hand on her cheek. The smell of iron filled her senses as she realized hisfingers were slightly red.
"Iwas afraid,” he managed, blue eyes dull from the pain. “I thoughtyou’d never come back…”
Shewasn’t supposed to come back. She had a tribe to lead. She had places to go.She wasn’t meant to be back on Patch, let alone fighting off hordes of greencolored Grimm.
But shecouldn’t tell him that.
"Iwanted to come back,“ she said. It wasn’t a total lie. She did intend toreturn sometime. Just not for long.
Not like this.
"I’msorry I didn’t come back sooner,” she sighed.
Taiyanglet out a soft chuckle, gently pulling her closer. “’’s fine…you’reback…that’s all that matters…”
Ravenmanaged a soft smile, and gently pressed a kiss to his lips. “That’s allthat matters…”
Taiyang’seyes slowly started to close. “I’m tired, Rae…”
"Stayawake,“ she said. "Help should be here soon. Just stay awake.”
"Justa few minutes….“
"No.You stay awake. Don’t you die before I do, Tai!”
Taiyanglet out a cough, his breathing so light it was inaudible. It was only now thatshe realized how pale he looked. He was no longer the sun kissed father andteacher she had left behind. He was a shell of his former glory.
"Takecare of the girls,“ Taiyang muttered, his body going limp.
"Don’ttalk like that, Tai,” Raven whispered. “They need you. It’s not yourtime yet.”
Why did it have to be like this?
"Ilove you, Raven…“
Taiyanglet out one last breath, and his hands fell to the ground.
Sheshook him roughly, trying hard to get him to respond. When that didn’t work,she lay him on the ground, pressing her hands to his chest just like theylearned in school. And she kept going. She tuned out everything, focusing onTaiyang.
Shedidn’t notice when Qrow and the others finally found them.
Shedidn’t look up when Ruby screamed.
Shedidn’t notice Yang’s eyes flare.
Shekept her eyes on Taiyang, eyes filling with tears.
