Alas, due to me mentioning my Patreon on a number of my stories on Ao3, those stories are now hidden. So I've been doing a lot of editing to ensure those stories are not permanently deleted. Sigh.
Anyway! This is a commission I did on my Patreon for a member. I can do commissions for this and...
Anyway! I've done a full revamp of Zechs' intro and am showing more of what Tangy and the other members of the Arc Clan are up to behind the scenes. And even a bit about Raven. Here are some prompts to tide you over:
-Jaune and Yang start a food cart during the summer break to make extra money...
Threadmarks: The Mistralian Civil War: Why, How, And What
For the Mistralian Civil War I want to accomplish a few things:
1: To show Salem is a cunning villain who has made good use of her assets like the White Fang, Lionheart, and others to cause chaos, destruction and misery. She needs the nations of the world divided and fighting amongst themselves...
Threadmarks: Why Nick Arc is Not Allowed in Pietro's Lab Anymore
In Atlas...
Ironwood: "... Pietro?"
Pietro: "Yes?"
Ironwood: "Why is Nicholas Arc inside our prototype spacecraft?"
Pietro: "Well, if it can survive him, it can survive anything."
Ironwood: "That's... Not reassuring."
Nick: "Hey Doctor Pietro! I tested the oxygen thing! That was fun! Hoo...
So, why do I keep pushing for a Mistralian Civil War in my fan canon? Simple: It gives our heroes a more tangible sign of the chaos Salem and Cinder is causing, more obstacles, and a goal beyond just finding Cinder: They have to try and unite the peoples of Remnant against this threat, something...

Ruby Rose, adventurer, Huntress, savior of Remnant, walked into the hot, humid police precinct office in Hastinpur with a big grin. The interior walls were painted in white, blue, and...
Adam is as bad a chuuni as Blake in many depictions. So he would look for a suitable rival to his protagonist. And Jaune seems to fit the bill. But he's not a very good rival. So he has to fix that.
Adam: "No no no! We must debate philosophically while fighting! Come now!"
Jaune: "Uh, okay...
Threadmarks: The Dragon, the Knight, and the Spartan-Training
Yang was the big fish in the small pond at Signal. And so far she's been the consistent second best in combat class. Getting beaten by Pyrrha? Well, no shame in that.
Except one day, Jaune actually beats Yang in a Combat Class match. He doesn't do anything fancy, he's just now competent enough...
Also, nobody's thought to do anything with Demoman as Nora's mentor/father figure? Nothing at all?
(I am working on more Arc Clan but come on guys!)
I see it this way: Tavish Finnegan DeGroot, aka Demoman's real name, finally retired after the Gravel Wars ended. The Mann Co. warfare ended as...
Okay, some prompts while I chew over how to make the next Arc Clan better:
-Tangy gets to put JNPR and RWBY into her boot camp for two weeks. Will they survive?
-Graves, Alexander, Trey, Brand, Irene, and Isabel meet up with Qrow, Taiyang, Arjun, Saia, and a few other parents of the Hunters in...
Yes but that is based entirely on merit. If you're poor, you're a loser. If you're rich, and you made yourself rich through your efforts, he'll respect you. If you're some rich fop who inherited money, he won't respect you.
Anyway! Some prompts since it's Yang's birthday month:
-Beacon has a class project where random couples of students have to take care of a robotic baby. Jaune and Yang, both struggling with their grades, take this class and have to look after a robot baby together. Shenanigans ensue.
-Yang...
Cinder Fall had put Mercury and Emerald on watching Jaune Arc. The fact a member of his family was now in a key position of authority over Vale's defenses meant she had to take him seriously-Perhaps even more seriously than Pyrrha Nikos.
It was annoying. Embarrassing, really, to have to...
Jaune: "So sweetie, what did you learn in daycare today?"
Mia: "That the Starlight Rangers are awesome heroes who beat up Grimm monsters!"
Jaune: "Haha! They absolutely are!"
Jaune makes it back to the JNPR common room... Which has a fire fighter team handling it.
Jaune: "Wha-What...

So... At least for the purposes of my little verse for RWBY, Vale is like a mix of the US and Europe, while Atlas is like a mix of the US, Russia and Germany.
Culturally and technologically speaking. A number of Mistalian and Vacuoan powers can rival them, but at least in the last century Vale...
I mean if they just took them for inspiration, fine. But they pretty much did nothing with most of these inspirations or connections. Adam, for example, was supposed to be the Beast to Blake's Beauty/Belle, but he was turned into a psycho incel just to facilitate Bumblebee. Which helped to...
