A big thank-you to my friend, Ickbard, who's helping me out in a huge way with all my stories - fanfics and originals - in terms of editing, storyboarding, and the like. Go check his profile out and send him some love, because without him, my stories would be a lot worse off. I can't thank him enough for all the help.

I have recently launched two new original web serials, Ballistic Coefficient and The Vampire's Apprentice. Both can be read at the following links; if you're a fan of mine, I'd really appreciate it if you would check them out. Both are on r/HFY, Spacebattles, and Royal Road under the same name I use for FFN, or if you'd prefer a direct link to them, that can be found here (remove the spaces):

ht tps: // ww w . royalroad . co m / fiction / 84568 / ballistic-coefficient

ht tps: // ww w . royalroad . com / fiction / 84566 / the-vampires-apprentice

In addition, I have also launched a "P" "Atr eon" for these stories, which can be found at the link below. If you want to support me and also get a little something in exchange for your money, ten bucks a month will get you twelve additional chapters for both of these original stories - that's 24 chapters total, or 6 weeks of additional content each for these stories. That link can be found here (again, remove the spaces):

Thanks so much, and I hope you enjoy the stories!

"Every chapter I read of this just confirms my suspicions of you just being an unhinged, American version of Coeur." - MaracaRin

Call me Minaris.

Just a guy who likes reading, writing, shooting, video gaming, and guitaring... but mainly reading and writing, hence my involvement here.

Expect pointless and out-of-place talk about guns in whatever I write.

Besides that, I'd prefer to let my material speak for me rather than speak for myself.

And speaking of my material...

Stories

Straight, No Chaser - A one-shot collection or anthology, of sorts. Basically a depository for any unfinished ideas that I want to do something with, but can't actually bring myself to fully write out, for whatever reason. If I have an idea that seems interesting enough to explore but that I can't fully write out, it goes here, where it can be used for writing practice. In addition, every single story/prompt in this collection is up for adoption, so if you want it, just let me know. Adopted prompts/stories will be designated as such in their chapters titles and the start of their A/N.

Addendum: Yes, I know it's been a long time since this updated. It's not dead, because I don't think a story like this can truly die since it's not a real story in the first place. The reason why I haven't updated this in so long is simple: Because all of the ideas I'm coming up with nowadays are for things I actually want to eventually write rather than give away. If I come up with something I think is cool but know I can't write, then I'll update this story. Until then, though, I'm going to hold out hope that I can move forward with most of those ideas rather than scrap them.

Black Sun, Blood Moon - Crossover with the STALKER series of video games. Jaune, Pyrrha, Ruby, and Cinder find themselves transported to the Zone after Ruby's eyes activate on the tower. They are forced to adjust to life in this new, hellish world they find themselves in, and eventually try to find a way back to Remnant.

I'm aiming for chapters around 7k-8k words, though occasionally they may stretch beyond that.

Sporadic updates on this one too, by the way; I feel like this story is some of my finest work, so I really want to take my time with it and give it the love it deserves.

Plastered Paradox - Crackfic where Jaune from the future accidentally time travels back to ten years before he even shows up at Beacon. What follows are shenanigans involving Raven and Cinder.

This is a crackfic with plot - kinda like Red Vs Blue in tone, if I had to compare it to something. It's not serious at all, but there is a plot there. I think that if you enjoyed Problems With Dating the RWBY Girls, you'll probably enjoy this one, too.

Darkbloom - In order to save his sister's life, Jaune is forced to summon a demon and make a pact with her: his sister's life in exchange for his soul. Cinder Fall, the Demon Queen of Hell, readily accepts, and in so doing, takes Jaune in as her servant for all time, and the two begin traveling Remnant together. Of course, not everything is as it seems, and there are evil forces in the background trying to unseal an even greater threat than Cinder herself...

Seeing Red Jaune finds an injured Eve Taurus while on his way to Beacon, and nurses her back to health. The two part, but this kickstarts the beginning of a relationship that will have serious consequences not just for them, but for all of Remnant as well...

Auras and Alibis - Co-written with Ickbard. In a world where Huntsman have been replaced with Heroes, Jaune and Cinder live a quiet life together, counting down the days until their wedding... or so Jaune thinks. In reality, his girlfriend is Vale's number one supervillain, and he has absolutely no idea. Hilarity (and drama) ensue.

Completed Stories

Hidden Desires - A humorous one-shot centered around a porn-addicted Weiss and her attempts to let her husband (Jaune) know that she really wants to try BDSM. No smut.

Problems With Dating the RWBY Girls - A crackfic focusing on Jaune and the various situations he gets himself into upon entering a relationship with the female characters of the RWBY cast, as told through various unconnected one-shots.

This is the exact opposite of The Seventh Circle. Whereas that fic has gone through extensive planning and revision, this one is completely improvisational and stream-of-consciousness... and is also stupid as hell and not at all serious.

Hereafter - A story where Jaune, the last of the main cast, makes a final trip back to Beacon in the aftermath of the war against Salem. During his trip, he runs into Cinder, and the two connect for the first time.

Lost Forever, Lost Together - Great War AU. Jaune and Cinder are soldiers on opposite sides who are forced to work together in the aftermath of a Grimm attack. A promise is made between the two of them, and in the aftermath of the war ending, Cinder seeks Jaune out to help her fulfill her promise, but in the process, finds that Jaune needs help, too. Knightfall pairing.

Black Widow - A story focused around Trifa, the White Fang assassin. She is sent on a mission to seduce and kill a Beacon student, which happens to be Jaune, but finds her loyalties strained along the way.

Missing In Action - An AU where the Great War never ended. Cinder is an Atlesian soldier who is injured and is found by the Arc family. They take her in and try to help her heal, and along the way, she finds her loyalties to Atlas and her very worldview tested. Featuring Knightfall romance, because I'm a sucker for hero/villain pairings (for a given definition of villain in this case).

Cinders and Sins - A humorous one-shot where Jaune, desperate for a dance to Beacon's Halloween party, decides to do the rational thing and summon a demon to help him get a girl. He ends up with Cinder Fall, virgin succubus extraordinaire. Hilarity ensues.

A Completely Accurate Novelization of Resident Evil 1 - Exactly what it sounds like based on the title.

Jaune's Girlfriend is a Homophobe - Crackfic one-shot based on the homophobic Ruby meme that was floating around while V9 was initially airing. Stupid as hell, but it was a lot of fun to write, so I don't regret it.

Jaune's Best Friend is a Eugenicist - Crackfic one-shot based on a prompt being thrown around constantly by some shitposter. What if Ruby realized the best way to fight the Grimm was to breed an army of super-strong Huntsman? And who else to help with that if not her best friend, and the army of suitable girls Beacon has at its disposal?

The Beauty in the Beast - A short-but-serious story focused on a Jaune/R63!Adam crack pairing. Eve Taurus captures Jaune and intends to have him interrogated and executed, but finds herself filled with doubts when she realizes they may have more in common than she initially thought.

Team MILF - A humorous one-shot where Team RWBY have done it - they've made it to Beacon at last. The only problem is that their respective mothers aren't exactly keen on letting their daughters leave the nest so easily... hilarity ensues.

Upcoming Stories

One-shots may come out intermittently depending on when inspiration strikes. These do not have a fixed schedule nor word count, and will be posted as they are completed.

Dead Stories

Sector Seven From Ten to Eleven - Lost interest in Blazblue due to dropping the games for a bit, and also because the archive was a mess for a while. I have no intention of ever going back, simply because I have become enamored with RWBY as of late, and have too much to work on with that series to consider trying to expand to another. This story will remain up for those who still wish to read it, but it will no longer be updated.

The Seventh Circle - A story about a Faunus version of Ruby being taken in by the White Fang, then manipulated and trained to be a killer. In time, she manages to escape the White Fang, but finds herself forced to contend with her own inner demons due to things she did while serving the group.

Dropped due to lack of enthusiasm. Sorry guys, but I just can't do this one anymore. I should have ended it at the dance, but I didn't, and now I'm paying the price for it.
