The air smelled of jasmine, sandalwood, and the faint sweetness of marigold garlands strung everywhere. May Sarkara stood in the private antechamber just off the main garden pavilion, dressed in the traditional red-and-gold...
The classroom was quiet, filled only with the soft scratching of Glynda's pen and the occasional cheerful hum from Mia.
Professor Port's field class had taken Jaune and the rest of the first-years deep into the Emerald Forest for the day, leaving Glynda in charge of watching Mia. She had put up...
The RWBY common room was quiet for once, filled only with the soft metallic clicks and whirs of tools.
Ruby sat cross-legged on the floor, Crescent Rose laid out in front of her like a patient on an operating table. Various small parts were neatly arranged on a cloth beside her. Mia sat right...

Aslan, the Great Lion, the Table Breaker and Springbringer. Son of the Emperor Above. Prince of Peace. The embodiment of sacrificial love, redemption, and victory over death and tyranny.

Now the thing is, Religion and Science are not the same thing. At all.
Religion is a truth you live by in how you live your life and how morality and philosophy, approaching the world, works. However things go, you live by that truth, that framework for how people are supposed to behave, what...
So, here's a fun idea: Once science is invented and Ozpin gets around to learning some, he learns that Remnant... Is actually at least 4 billion years old, like Earth. It has a carbon cycle. It has fossils. It has a deep history well before Man or Faunus evolved. Well before the Brother Gods...
The Arc farmhouse was quiet in the late evening, the kind of peaceful silence that only existed when most of the younger siblings had finally been herded to bed. Down in the living room, the fireplace crackled softly while Jaune sat at the old wooden table with his scroll, idly scrolling through...

Haven Academy, Mistral

The stone bench outside the old chapel was cold, worn smooth by decades of resting students. Jaune Arc sat with his back against the wall, armor still streaked with soot and dried blood. Arslan leaned against his...
The guest wing of Beacon was quiet at this hour, the kind of dignified hush that came from thick carpets and centuries-old stone. Willow Schnee sat at the small writing desk in her suite, Scroll held to her ear, voice low but steady.
"I know, Mister Hurt. I know. But we need this information...
Threadmarks: Rockets of Remnant 3: Late Night with John Doe
The dressing room lights felt harsher than any rocket glare. Jaune Arc stood in front of the mirror, fingers fumbling with his tie for the tenth time. The silk refused to cooperate, twisting into an angry knot that looked more like a pretzel than professional attire.
A soft knock broke the...

Radian Chapel, Gallia, Vale

The small chapel on the edge of the Arc family lands smelled of white lilies, polished wood, and the faint scent of smoke that seemed to follow Cinder Fall no matter how many years passed.
She stood before the tall mirror in...
The Beacon library's quiet corner had become Blake's unofficial reading spot-far enough from the main stacks that he could actually focus, close enough to the emergency exit that she could bolt if Nora came looking for a sparring partner.
She was halfway through a chapter on advanced Aura...
The heavy door to the basement levels of Beacon clicked shut behind them with a solid, final sound. Ozpin led the way into the basement lab, cane tapping softly against the stone. Glynda followed a half-step behind, riding crop already in hand, her posture rigid with the kind of tension that had...

The grand foyer of the Schnee Mansion was quiet in that particular way only old money and reinforced Atlesian architecture could manage—thick carpets swallowing footsteps, crystal chandeliers dimmed to a soft glow, the faint...
Jaune explained what happened with Raven to Yang in the bathroom...
Yang: "... She... She talked to you, huh?"
Jaune: "Yeah. I don't know if... If it changed anything but... I did."
Yang: snorts "I don't know what her fucking deal is."
Jaune: "Yeah. Still... If she'll fight alongside us...
The wind howled through the cracked spires of what had once been the city of Caer Moraltis, a name now forgotten by all but Ozpin and the dust. Trees and vines had reclaimed the once sprawling metropolis built of white stone. Enormous plazas of limestone brick and fallen marble statues. All now...
Jaune had hoped to slip into the bathroom... But when he opened the door, he was confronted with a large open red portal.
Jaune: "... Crap-"
And he got shoved through. He slammed into the ground. He slowly stands up, brushing himself off. He looks around... It's just outside a dingy camp in...
Hmmm... New idea.
Who here has seen Power Rangers: SPD? In that show, the Power Rangers Alpha Team, the best of the best, betray Earth and go over to the side of evil.
What if Cinder's team were like that to Ozpin?
What if Cinder's team were the seniors at Beacon Academy the year RWBY and...
Threadmarks: Why Jaune Shouldn't Sit in the Command Chair
The semester break had barely started when the summons arrived, crisp, official, and signed by General James Ironwood in triplicate. Beacon's strangest knight was requested (politely ordered) to report to Atlas for "comprehensive Semblance evaluation."
Ozpin had simply smiled behind his mug and...
