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...

Khalisah Bint of the Easternwind News looked up and down the street festival while occasionally taking pictures with her camera. They were all good shots the travel section would love, but that fluff wasn't the reason she had endured the long airship flight from Mistral to Vale. The fluff was...
Taiyang Xiao Long and Qrow Branwen were drowning in debt.
Between Taiyang's Semblance leaving a trail of collateral damage across half of Anima, years of depression-fueled spending, and Qrow's single disastrous night in a Mistral casino ("It was just supposed to be one hand," he'd sworn), the...
Jaune paced back and forth in the JNPR dorm like a man awaiting execution.
He had to make a decision. He really had to.
"It's not fair of me to anyone," he muttered, "It's not fair to Mia... So I just need to go and... And do it, right?"
He looked at himself in the mirror and nodded.
"I've...

A few more ideas:
-Yes it's true that a girl doesn't need a romantic interest in Jaune to train him, just to be a friend. Yang, Ruby, Pyrrha, Blake, hell even Weiss might help him if he proved himself. So that's fine. But it can be fun if they do develop an interest in him.
