Weiss was 5 when she first met him, a boy with red hair and horns on his head. A friendship that was never meant to flourish creates an unexpected ripple effect and dire consequences for both of their lives. 12 years later, the remnants of what they once shared return to haunt Weiss and it challenges everything she believes about her family, the Faunus, and the boy she now hates.

After their traumatic escape to Vacuo, Nora cannot forget that day, when victory turned to ashes, and they lost so many of their friends... and she failed her leader and brother. But by some miracle, they have returned, and yet all is not right with Jaune Arc. What has happened to him, and what has he become? Post Volume 8 & hypothetical Volume 9 (i.e. written pre-v9!)

Whitley Schnee didn't trust anybody. His father was a paranoid fool, his mother an alcoholic, and his sisters were more interested in their own bond. He thought he would remain coasting alone through life. A chance encounter with a janitor changes his perspective completely.

The minute I stepped foot in this city I was living a lie. I had hoped those lies would help me reach my dream of becoming a huntsmen but it took me down a different path, it took me into the depths of this city's criminal underworld where I learned that among thieves there is honor. AU where Jaune expelled from Beacon infiltrates the Vale Mafia and becomes a different kind of hero

Jaune was down on his luck even before he found himself getting mugged in an alleyway. The last person he expected to be saved by was a man even more beaten up than he. Junior might not have been perfect but he and his gang made their own destiny, no matter what life threw at them. Junior's gang represented the one thing Jaune never knew he needed - the chance to prove himself.

Jaune wanted nothing more than to become a hero – and in a way he got his wish. One man's criminal is another's hero and the faunus of Remnant need a champion. Who better to take the mantle of leader of the White Fang? Not a faunus? Not a terrorist? No aura, training or leadership skills to speak of? Minor details. All hail supreme leader Jaune Arc. Long live the resistance!

Impatient after thousands of years of stalemates between Ozma and Salem, the Brother Gods decide to intervene. A new contest, Ozma's side against Salem's, to decide Remnant's fate. A contest requires combatants however, and what better or fairer than to pit one man against himself – against alternate versions of himself. Jaune Arc against Jaune Arc, for the fate of all worlds.

Jaune, Weiss, and Yang had all been through so much since the fall of Beacon. Different paths had led them to Haven, but tonight they all wanted the same thing. Each other.

SEQUEL to The Wolf in December. Beacon's second semester begins, and its newest professor is faced with several challenges, not least of which is figuring out exactly what he's teaching. But teaching may be the least of his worries, with the forces now at work across Remnant. A storm is brewing, and Geralt will face it as he always has-with research, preparation, and silver.

He was a freedom fighter battling an evil Empire. She was a ruthless General putting down a treacherous rebellion. When Jaune is captured on the battlefield he finds himself as Weiss' prisoner, and finally comes face to face with the infamous woman. Will he succumb to her power, or find a way to overcome her? Cover art by Tehshraid.

Victory can prove bitter, especially when you're the only one alive to see it. With the world in chaos and everyone he ever loved dead, Jaune Arc makes a deal with the devil for one last chance to go back and change it all. But devils don't play by the same rules as humans, and Salem never did say how far back he'd go. Or how much deeper the war between her and Ozpin really went.

Blake had fled, making it clear she couldn't trust him to change. She thought him inhuman, lost, a beast. He was going to prove her wrong. Getting into Beacon was hard enough, but fitting in would be harder still. All those... humans. Will a man fuelled by hate truly be able to let go and move on; or is suffering the only thing Adam Taurus can ever bring to those around him?

During their expedition to Zanado, the Red Canyon, Byleth and the Black Eagles encounter a strange man. Subsequently, the students of Garreg Mach Monastery gain a new professor.

Inspired by Coeur Al'Aran's Professor Arc story, this asks the simple question: What if Jaune had actually attended the Vacuo Academy for Gifted Youths as he claimed? Between a fake resume, a sociopath for a partner, criminal contacts, White Fang agents, and overall bad luck... it's going to take everything he's got keep his cover at Beacon.

Byleth is anything but a normal teacher, much to the chagrin of his students.

After Beacon falls, Team RWBY is broken and Team RNJR never forms. Alone, Ruby sets off into the Sanus frontier to be the hero she always wanted to be. But, it's out there where she can't seem to stop running into the frustrating assassin that messed everything up in the first place, and (un)fortunately, you can only spend so much time with someone before they start to grow on you.

He didn't know the first thing about running a school, nor fixing a political disaster spanning all of Remnant. Hell, he didn't even know how to deal with the world-ending conspiracy in the background, let alone a former-headmaster-possessed child. Yet here he was, leading Beacon Academy into a new age of glory. Or ruin. Definitely a fair chance of the latter…

The Trickster won a game rigged against him. The odds were zero in his favour and yet he still won, but the cost of such a victory is hollow. After seeing the outcome of the Trickster winning a rigged game, Lavenza and Igor give Akira another chance to avert ruin, another chance at happiness. In a new reality, it's up to Akira to rig the game in the Trickster's favour.

It's not that Byleth is a bad teacher, it's just that she tends to unnerve or terrify everyone she interacts with.

"... She cried, because despite the fact that she felt that she was so undeserving, she was beyond relieved that the boy next to him still stood by her side." An exploration of Sumire's depression and mentality as she struggles to come to terms with her past. Along the way, she discovers that the support she needed had been by her side the entire time.

Months alone on the road together could change the dynamic of any relationship. That just so happened to be the case with Ruby and Jaune. After hooking up together on the long and arduous journey to Haven, the pair of friends found that they'd developed a problem. They loved the risk of being caught. Cover art by Kitty-Kirishima.

Working the graveyard shift during their time training at Atlas Academy, Jaune and Weiss find that they have an abundance of spare time during their shift. They needed something in order to stay awake and pass the time. What better than a nice game of truth or dare?

When Jaune's forged transcripts were rebuffed, his only option was to return home in disgrace or forge a new life in Vale. Opening a diner was an impetuous decision, being good at it a stroke of luck. Becoming the favourite haunt for students, teachers and criminals alike…? That was neither, but it sure did keep things interesting. Wasn't the civilian life supposed to be easier?

Jaune had always dreamed of being a Hero, of being someone. But dreams were just that; for in the world of Remnant the Class you are born with determines your fate. Jaune was born a Blacksmith, and thus that was his destiny. But when a strange opportunity allows him to change that, can a simple Blacksmith become something more within the Beacon Academy for Heroes?

To escape his sorrow, Jeralt took his newborn son across the Great Sea separating Fódlan from the rest of the world. In foreign lands, he plied his trade as a mercenary with great success. Almost too great of a success. Now, as a new dawn shines on Fódlan, he returns with more than just his son in tow.

Weiss needed a significant other for a meeting between her father and some powerful business people. Sun needed a way to convince Blake to go with him to the school dance. Luckily, Blake has a solution to both problems. Sun pretending to be Weiss' boyfriend wasn't what he or Weiss would have ideally wanted, but how hard could it be? It's not like there were any feelings involved.

Combat schools spend millions on creating the newest generation of Hunters. They had forgotten the old way, the hard way...the right way.

Every family has its odd member, the one that doesn't fit. Jaune was just that, the black sheep. He had always wanted to be the hero, to be a Huntsman. But when your name is Jaune Salem Arc - Prince of the Grimm - and your mother is understandably against the idea, what is a young man to do? Why, run away to attend Beacon in pursuit of a dream, of course. What could go wrong?

Jaune Arc, Field Agent of the VSS - Vale's Secret Service, or at least that's what he's been told. All he knows is that they found out about his faked transcripts, and now he works in the interests of the Kingdom. With terrorists on the horizon, not to mention a shady organisation and an even shadier group operating under Ozpin, what's a bumbling teen turned secret agent to do?

Yang wasn't used to leadership, but she wasn't going to accept Ozpin's suggestion of mandatory rest either. Not when it meant losing her spot on Team RWBY. If she had to lead a rookie squad of police officers against the White Fang to prove she could still fight, then so be it. Too bad no one told her the VSPR was made up of Vale's worst criminals, many of which she knew by name.

As a Vampire Hunter, it was Jaune Arc's job to seek out the most dangerous and deadly creatures which inhabited Remnant. Most dangerous of them all was the Vampire Queen, Weiss Schnee. But when the hunter becomes the hunted, will he be able to resist temptation? Or will he become a slave to her insatiable desires? Cover art by Imyoshi.

Jaune had no interest in Ozpin's latest training initiative, especially when it pit boys against girls across Beacon. Cowardice or not, he intended to hide and wait the whole thing out. Leading the male alliance wasn't part of the plan, nor was becoming mankind's final hope. He was a coward, an idiot and a weakling. It was just a shame no one would believe him when he said so!

Niijima Makoto is tasked to take down the Phantom Thieves. Spoiler alert: She gets her heart stolen. — Police!Makoto. Akira:Makoto.

When Jaune woke up back in his house with his sisters and family, all he could do was sigh. Every time he died he was forced to start over again, and this was what... the one thousandth time? More? If it doesn't matter how hard he tries, doesn't matter how much he fights. Then maybe it's time to just kick back and enjoy himself. Fate can find someone else to be its whipping boy.

Yang knew better than to look for love in a bar. She was neither foolish nor naive. But when a chance encounter leads to a meeting with a mysterious dancer that has her heart racing, it can be hard to resist. For Jaune, the life he wanted was that of a hero, but such a life required training and the money to pay for it. What is a man to do, but make use of the few talents he has.

He didn't know the first thing about teaching, Hell, he didn't even know the first thing about fighting! A shame then, that his forged documents painted the picture of an accomplished and skilled warrior. Now he's trapped teaching students his own age how to be hunters, when he doesn't even know himself!

Seeing that young man die in initiation was horrifying for her. Even with all her time in the White Fang, she hadn't expected to see such an idealistic man as Jaune Arc die like that. It should have been nothing more than a tragedy... Instead she's now stuck with the lingering spirit of this guy following her around, and no one else can hear or see him in any way. Jaune x Blake

In a world where your allies can be just as dangerous as your enemies, sometimes it can be difficult for a criminal mastermind to find a little stress relief. That blonde idiot, Jaune, was just unimportant enough, just malleable enough, to be a viable option. It was meant to be a one time thing, an easy lay. Emotions were never supposed to get involved.

Five years after Beacon, Jaune's still going home alone as often as not. An unlikely encounter with Yang may have just the solution- drinks, company, and a hell of a lot of pickup lines. (Now Complete)

Jaune wasn't exactly Blake's type, but giving him a hand was the least she could do after he helped her out... it didn't have to mean anything - no matter what Yang implied! Also would Ruby cut it out with the knowing looks, I'm just returning a favour! Blake x Jaune realistic romance, focused on their times at Beacon Academy.

There must be a limit to how innocent and naive their team leaders can be can be. There must be. But until it's found... (Oneshot)

Yang have a bad hair day. Jaune says he can fix it. Yang discovers he might be way too good at it.

Jaune Arc was the descendant of heroes who never had an honest chance to be a Hunter. Jaune was just a common criminal who never had a choice in the matter. Falls from grace are never elegant, and Jaune's is no different. A story told in shorts, with an emphasis on 'short.' Now complete.

Jaune and Blake are dating. No one else really gets it.
