The courtyard was alive with the sound of laughter and the low hum of a leafblower.
Jaune jogged behind Mia, who was pedaling her little red tricycle as fast as her short legs could manage. He kept the leafblower pointed just behind her back wheel, giving her an extra burst of speed every few...
Indeed. Here, he was basically Marvin Heemeyer. He was going to lose his family farm and everything to the local government. He pettition them, Parliament, even the King, and was denied. So he tried to blow up Parliament since Killdozers hadn't been invented yet.
A fun idea for Jaune's joint Albion/Gallian heritage? When visiting on the farm...
Blake: "So... You have a holiday called Bonfire Night?"
Jaune: "Yes!"
Blake: "Do you... Dispose of anything in the bonfire?"
Jaune: "Well, extra timber and old wood, sure."
Blake: "Anything else you burn?"...
The basement beneath Ozpin's Tower was quiet, the kind of heavy silence that pressed in on the ears. Dim lights hummed overhead as Arjun Sarkara and Isabel Arc descended the reinforced stairs. The air carried the faint sterile bite of medical equipment and the deeper, earthier scent of old...
Had a funny idea: Ren is actually a fan of the Remnant equivalent of James Bond-A series of spy movies. He watched some of the movies with his father. Jaune finds out, and they marathon the other movies. Ren admits that as silly as it was, he did always admire his fictional hero, how cool and...

The training fields behind Beacon were still smoking faintly as the sun dipped low over the cliffs. Isabel Arc—Granny to most of the temporal invaders—had not held back. Neither had Winter, nor Jaune.. Especially not Grandpa Nick. Theodore Schnee-Arc rolled his shoulders as he trudged up the...

Chaos had swallowed Atlas. General Jinjur Hardy, newly elevated Supreme Commander after James Ironwood's disgrace, had moved with ruthless efficiency.
For "national security reasons" after the attempted bombing of the...

Mutual Defense Accord for Tenebrae Containment
Introduction
Throughout the entire known history of Remnant, the continent called "Tenebrae" by the Quitalans — meaning "Darkness" — has been a subject of myths, legends, and dread. Other names include the Grimmlands and, after its full map was...
My conception of the larger geopolitics of Remnant (at least in my fan canon) is that Vale and Atlas are the two biggest and most powerful Kingdoms, with Mistral next strongest (but heavily divided) and Vacuo is least strongest, with multiple smaller nation states in the mix allying with the...

The waiting room smelled of clean linen and faint sea air drifting through an open window. Blake paced on the clean white linoleum in tight circles, black ears twitching at every distant...
I did have a thought for Cinder and Pyrrha. To explain the enmity. Cinder is Pyrrha's older sister, she was given up for adoption.
The half-sister on her mother's side. Athena would have given her up due to pressure from her agent. Said agent then married Athena and gave her Pyrrha. Athena...
The weapons workshop was quieter than usual in the late afternoon. Jaune had stopped by to work on Crocea Mors, carefully oiling the blade and checking the mechanisms on the shield. He was so focused that he didn't notice anyone else until a familiar voice spoke up behind him.
"Jaune?"
He...
The jail cell was cold, poorly lit, and stank. Blake looked around her surroundings, then at the rest of her team.
"So... I... May have made a mistake," she admitted, "Possibly."
"That's the closest thing to an apology you can make, huh?" Yang quipped, as she held a trembling Ruby.
"I can't...

Jaune was flitting about the living room, packing and unpacking supplies into suitcases scattered about the floor and furniture. He checked and unchecked check lists. His eyes were wide, despite the bags under his eyes...
