Threadmarks: The Parent Teacher Conference: Taiyang/Glynda
Glynda Goodwitch's office at Beacon was a study in controlled severity—polished desk, neatly stacked reports, the faint scent of lemon polish and lingering coffee. She sat behind it now, glasses perched on her nose, reviewing security footage with the kind of focused displeasure usually reserved...

Name: Iridescent (prefers "Iri")

"Good morning Isabel!"
Isabel looked up from her tea and breakfast, with a warm smile. Saia approached, a bright smile on her own face. She sat down across from her best friend in the cool morning air, the sun just poking up over the distant city...
No, but he'll happily encourage her on this line of thinking.
Ozpin: "You should ask your father for siblings from Miss Atlan and Miss Zedong, too."
Mia: "YAY!"
The Beacon cafeteria thrummed with its usual evening energy—forks scraping plates, underclassmen whispering about missions, the occasional burst of laughter from the far tables. Teams RWBY and JNPR had claimed their usual table, enjoying their meals.

Anima, the Hellenic Confederation, Rhodopis
Six months after the Vytal Attacks

The train from Typhon rattled to a stop at the edge of Rhodopis—a walled village tucked off Anima's fractured main roads like a forgotten footnote in the civil war's chaos. Hellenic banners fluttered...
The Beacon gardens were a hidden gem—tucked behind the main academy building, a sprawling patch of raised beds, greenhouses, and experimental Dust-infused plots that Professor Peach oversaw. It was meant for botany classes, Aura-agricultural research, and the occasional student who needed extra...
The sound of hammers striking anvils echoed in the distance.
"Hurry up Dad! The show is starting!" the ten year old Leandra and Leander squealed in tandem as they pulled Jaune along to the bigtop tent of the circus.
"Slow down, we still have plenty of time," Weiss chided her son as the three...
The Beacon library was quiet after hours, moonlight slanting through the high windows and painting silver stripes across the tables. Jaune and Blake sat across from each other, a stack of old philosophy texts between them like a no-man's-land. The rest of the teams had gone to bed. This was...

Beacon, Vale

The party was in full swing, laughter and music spilling out from every corner of the common room like an overfilled punch bowl. Yang had to admit—it was fun. A bit overwhelming, sure, with the lights flashing and bodies packed in tighter than Grimm in a cage, but fun...
To be honest, a love serum is something Isabel would just burn through due to her Semblance... In the modern day. In the past when she was less experience with her Semblance?
Yeah, she would totally do it and go on a rampage after Nick.
That or she just got drunk.

The Schnee Dust Company's executive tower burned in the distance, Atlas's skyline fractured by the chaos of Salem's attempt to induce civil war. But in the abandoned sub-levels beneath the manor, the real betrayal unfolded.
Whitley Schnee—once the perfect heir, now...
Threadmarks: Stop Being Racist, Blake! (Revised) 1
The Beacon Academy quad was a vibrant sprawl of green under a bright midday sun, students lounging on blankets or sparring in the distance. Team RWBY sat at a weathered picnic table, Ruby munching on cookies, Yang sipping a soda, and Weiss flipping through a Dust catalog. Blake Belladonna, her...

General James Ironwood's temporary office at Beacon Academy was a stark contrast to the vibrant chaos of the campus, its sleek metal walls and holographic displays exuding cold efficiency, tinged with the faint scent of polished steel and coffee. Ironwood sat behind his desk, his cybernetic hand...
