This quickly became my favorite fanfic. I read a lot of Coeur but the way you right... it feels realistic to the show's universe and the way you tackle the topics of faunus, white fang, slavery, grimm, murder, atlas, and the characters. Nothing feels out of character with their actions.

Youve done a phenomenal job and i cant wait to see future chapters.

great start so far bro.

Fair point on Mercurys background and why he's still ten times stronger then Jaune. It explains more why an angry Yang is so scary. I wonder when Neo will go up to mama Ruby and teary eyed ask if she lied about the ice cream. That will get me laughing if Ruby and Jaune actually adopt neo who is actually older than the both of them. Speaking of Ruby going in for the kill and taking on devil shoes for her a chance to cheer Jaune up. Jaune is finally going to have that talk with Ozpin I'm fifty fifty weather it will end well. Though I'm guessing and hoping Qrow hints that Jaune can help Amber during the meeting. Don't know if there's a discussion about this yet but that would be interesting. Trying to boost a soul that was actually damaged, how much of a toll would it take on him. And would drunken Ruby adopt Amber to her words "No baby left behind!". The fight was pretty good you two got it right, emotions always run high when one knows their wrong but thinks their right at the same time. Also Penny, Ruby, Jaune, and Neo doing the robot at the dance?

are going to continue this story , it's pretty good and I would like to see it till the end

Jaune is now officially and recognised as a Paladin
Pyrrha is making horrible decisions and is more naive than ruby.
Like mother like daughter they say, Ruby comforting a sad blonde man. Must run in the family for the Silver warriors

Found your story and ended up catching up in only a few days, I really like how it’s progressing and looking forward to updates!

And so, Jaune was rightfully recognised as Paladin. Also, your Ruby is possibly the cutest Ruby I've seen

Yes! YEs, yes, yes, yes! Finally! the Dance! Woo!
Also, Man that talk was an emotional roller coaster! I loved it! Emotions likes those, on both sides? Even after all this time-which you've mentioned has only been a month In universe-they're not just going to go away. And, I agree nBappo. Jaune is still childish, but aren't we all when we get angry like that? I do feel for Pyrrha, though. But, she was being equally childish there at the end. Nice to see the Arkos, too. A Pyrrha jealous of Ruby? Who'd have thunk?
Also, I hope I wasn't among the numbers who complained about the Mercury v Jaune fight. I accept that he should lose to him. I don't Volume 7/8 Jaune would win, and that's my boi, fellas! I just wanted him to punch him in the face. Maybe the Merc will do something to hurt Pyrrha during the Dance and Jaune will have a chance to punch him right in the schnoz (I had to look up how to spell that) like Goku with Freeza.

Hold up, were people complaining Jaune did not do super well against Mercury last chapter?

My dudes he has improved leaps and bounds but the gap between a few months intense training and years of it to be a killer and even kill your even more experienced father is pretty large, even if he holds back.

I think my only gripe is possible stagnation in growth now he is stuck back in beacon. He seemed to grow fastest under intense situations. But on the upside our main duo have downtime with no issues to currently worry about outside of emotional ones, with each other and others

Imagine if over time Mercury does start to genuinely kinda care for Pyrrha.

Great story. I ran across this last year and forgot to save it. I’m glad I found it again (via dreamweaver actually.) Ruby is coming to terms with her feelings and poor Jaune can’t catch a break. Plus we all know that phyrra is headed for a bad place; I’m almost lowkey not sure if they’re gonna turn her to Cinder’s side, all the proper elements are there. That would be interesting, her and Jaune could have their “you were the chosen one” moment.

Either way can’t wait to see the next chapter!

Love your story man, these recent chapters especially awesome (devil shoes haha). Especially like how in ch 28 Ruby lays into her team for writing off her dangers on her missions as jokes. I mean she went through some heavy stuff,
1. got stabbed by tyrian and almost bled to death
2. Watched jaune get captured by spider grimm
3. learned she killed a man
4. had to steal like a bandit to survive
5. was kidnapped
6. nearly saw a boy get murdered

you did a top notch job writing a story based on Ruby and Jaune's hardships to become pros. I know you probably won't do this, but just a suggestion for dialogue in future chapter. Have ruby look sadly at her purple robe she stole for comfort during time with bandits and have her team walk in on her crying. She doesn't keep it a secret for fear of jaune and pyrrah fight happening to her team. She tells them how she became a thief and she felt good when she stole the robe because it comforted her but she hates herself for that. She also tells Yang she did some horribles things (past and present) "i killed people yang" making the latter cry at the loss of her sisters innocence. Even though they were scum, she felt bad for taking a persons life because thats the sweet ruby we know and love and her team will comfort her (after weiss insensitively says she shouldnt mourn criminals and blake nudges her shoulder with a stink eye). i love tearful interactions like that, like the one where jaune and ruby comfort each other after getting beaten up by bandits in sparing

Hehe devil shoes

Meh, just pretend you're fighting in a rocky field with no true flat surfaces which oddly enough feels just like if you wore heels on every step.

Cuando Pyrrha sea traicionada por Mercury estará muy dolida. Esa chica tiene muchos problemas. Excelente trabajo.
