Now we just need a chap of Mia being scared of cats

 

[ThunderBasilisk]

Man Blake being such a stereotype is never not funny

 

[TheFabulousCustodes]

Jaune turned, the ice in his expression melting instantly as he took her into his arms. "They're just very protective of you, kitten."

Mia hugged his neck and mumbled, "They're silly."

The White Fang grunts could only whimper in agreement.

These people were, without question, completely insane.

Isn't this the second time she's been kidnapped by the White Fang?

Ruby: "We'll stop you."
Salem: "Your mother said...wait, hold up, you're Summer Rose's daughter? I thought she was a lesbian."
Ruby: "Wha...no! Mom was married to dad and she had me!"
Salem: "I'm relatively certain futa is just a genre of Mistrali pornography, no matter what that green-haired simp Cinder keeps around believes."
Ruby: "ICK! NO! My dad's Taiyang and Mom wasn't like that!"
Salem: "By the Dark Brother, you mean she was just using the poor man to hide her affair with Branwen? I knew she looked shifty!"
Yang: "Stop talking about our mom, you witch!"
Salem: "I'll talk however I - by the dark pools, another sapphic stereotype? First the edgelord gangster, now a biker? What's next, an otome-"

Salem stares at Weiss

Salem: "An otome princess and a genki autist, and a biker with a bookworm. Is this some new tactic by Ozma? To defeat me with yuri stereotypes?"
Blake: "How do you even know that word?"
Salem: "You'd be surprised at what I know, Kageneko#0119. Your writing is garbage, by the way. Absolute guttertrash."
Blake: *ears flatten*
Yang: *heroically stands in front of Blake*
Salem: "Oh hell no, I'm leaving before I end up kidnapping one of you in some twisted romance plot. That seems to be all the rage nowadays."

The Beacon RWBY common room had turned into a war zone.

Not with Grimm. Not with training. But with four very dangerous young women who all had very good reasons (in their minds) to fight one Jaune Arc.

Yang slammed her fist on the table. "I'm telling you, we train him up first! Then we fight him! That's the Mandalorian way! You don't just murder a Jedi in his sleep! You test your mettle against him when he's at his strongest! Fighting a real Jedi is awesome!"

Ruby nodded so hard her hood flopped. "Yeah! And then after we beat him, we can… you know… keep him. He'd make really good breeding stock for the clan!"

Weiss's eye twitched. "Excuse me?! We get him? He's far more valuable to the Nightsisters! Our grudge against the Jedi goes back centuries! Plus he's tall, healthy, and has that ridiculous golden aura! Perfect genetic material! He could sire an entire generation of force-sensitive warriors!"

Yang pointed at her. "He's Mandalorian breeding stock now! Ruby and I called dibs!"

Ruby raised her hand like she was in class. "I agree with Yang! He's ours!"

Pyrrha, who had been quietly sipping tea in the corner like a proper lady, finally set her cup down with a soft clink.

All three turned to look at her.

Pyrrha smiled. It was the same gentle, perfect smile she showed the world every day.

Except her eyes were glowing faintly red.

"As a Sith," she said calmly, "I am superior to all of you. The Sith have fought the Jedi for thousands of years. Longer than your Mandalorian clans. Longer than your Nightsister covens. Jaune Arc is not only a Jedi, he's a descendant of Arturia Pendragon and Shirou Arc, two of the mightiest warriors on this planet. He belongs with me. He will join the Dark side. He will rule beside me. And together, we will bring the galaxy to its knees."

The room went dead silent.

Then Yang snorted. "Yeah, good luck with that, Cereal Girl. He's too nice to go full Sith."

Ruby nodded. "He still says 'please' when he asks for extra cookies."

Weiss crossed her arms. "And he blushes when you hold his hand. Some dark lord he'd make."

Pyrrha's smile never wavered. "He simply hasn't been properly… persuaded yet."

The argument exploded again, louder than before.

- - -

In the quiet common room across the hall, four people were enjoying a perfectly normal evening.

Jaune was sprawled on the couch with a book. Nora was upside-down in an armchair, eating cereal straight from the box. Ren sat beside her, calmly sipping tea. Blake was curled up on the opposite couch with her latest novel, scowling at Jaune every so often.

Nora suddenly sat up (still upside-down). "Hey Jaune! Can you mind control people to give me candy?"

Jaune didn't even look up from his book. "Yes… but I won't. Stealing is wrong."

Nora pouted. "Phooey!"

Blake scowled over the top of her book. "I'm a former terrorist, you know."

Jaune finally glanced up and gave her a warm, genuine smile. "Well, I'm glad you've turned over a new leaf."

Blake's ears flattened. "I hate you."

Jaune blinked, genuinely hurt. "What?!"

Ren took another sip of tea, the tiniest smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

From the hallway, the distant sounds of four girls screaming at each other echoed through the dorm.

Nora tilted her head. "Should we… do something about that?"

Jaune sighed and went back to his book. "They'll figure it out eventually. Probably."

Blake muttered into her novel, "I hope they kill each other first."

"That's terrible, Blake," Jaune gasped.

"Oh now you care!" Blake huffed.

"I always care!"

"Shut up!"

Ren's smirk grew just a fraction wider.

[zMADLAXz]

Gun enthusiasts/people who know about firearms I require your aid.

Currently seeing Jaune's kit that is -> Sword, Shield, Armor, I reckon that the only thing he is missing is a Gun.

My thought is that he should have a shotgun, with a longer barrel to deal with targets at a range, and he can use his shield as an improvised cover.

Plus it would fit his Knightly aesthetic too, so what particular ammunition and type of shotgun do you think suits him best?

Or do you prefer that he keeps the ammunition diverse, like Buckshots, Slugs etc.

I am personally of the mind to keep his ammunition simple but give the gun the ability to siphon his Aura to deliver more punch to his shots.

And then do you prefer the old reliable lever action, or the hip thing pump action?

IMO?
Shotgun, slugs, no pump action or lever action. Integrated into his shield.
Have Ruby make it for him.

I don't like too much mechashift in his weapons.

It's a good recommendation, don't get me wrong, but all his mechashift and other things remain the same base functions.

Like his bastard sword was still just bigger sword.

His Shield unfurls into a bigger shield.

I like to have one guy whose weapon system doesn't make me wanna worry about the mechanism failure.

That's kinda the problem, that leaves him vulnerable because he has to then manually switch to his other weapons and with the gun integrated into his shield (pointing to the side so all he has to do is turn his hand and doesn't need to transform into a gun) this then allows him to effectively use all three at the same the same time unlike if it was a separate weapon.

The more moving parts you have, the greater the chance of something going wrong.
You could, by Remnant's standards and tech, have an unfolding and, possibly, telescoping shotgun. The stock folds either to the side or to the top, like a Spas12 ( the rifle Robert Muldoon uses in Jurassic Park), and the barrel retracts and protracts, of course without reinforcements the barrel would have structural integrity problems with extended usage or if used to block bladed weapons.
Unless the shotgun has a pistol grip, which takes some length out of the equation and it becomes more urban environment friendly.
Wanting a long barrel, more than what is realistically needed, on a shotgun is defeating the purpose of a shotgun. At that point, you want an anti-material rifle.
You need to specify what the gun is being used for as that helps decide what type of shotgun is needed.
There's guns used for hunting, military, civilian use, R & R, hobby shooting and so on.
Some guns are prone to jamming or stovepiping.
Also, where is the gun going to be used as environmental factors can and will affect gun performance; sand, dirt, dust, extreme temperatures, bio matter, etc.
There is quite a bit to consider.

[AndrewJTalon]

The nightmares started three nights after the incident.

Mia would wake up screaming, small body shaking as she sobbed about glowing red eyes and claws reaching for her in the dark. Jaune stopped trying to put her back in her own cot after the second night. Instead, he pulled her into his bunk with him, letting her curl against his chest while he stroked her hair until she fell back asleep.

For the rest of the week, he took her with him to every class. She sat quietly on a cushion beside his desk during lectures, colored during sparring practice, and napped in his arms during breaks. JNPR didn't complain. Neither did RWBY, or any of the other teams. Everyone understood. Even Cardin's team.

On Friday afternoon, Professor Goodwitch pulled him aside after combat class.

"Mr. Arc. A word in my office, if you please."

Nora, Ren, and Pyrrha waited in the hallway with Mia, who was happily showing Ren her latest crayon drawing of a "friendly octopus."

Glynda closed the door behind them and gestured for Jaune to sit. She remained standing for a moment, hands folded behind her back, before speaking in her usual crisp tone - softened slightly.

"Mr. Arc… I must ask you to please not allow Mia to become too dependent upon your constant presence. It is understandable, given recent events, but it is not sustainable."

Jaune's jaw tightened and his eyes narrowed. "Beacon's security was so lax that my four-year-old daughter nearly got eaten by a Beowulf. Tell me why I shouldn't keep an eye on her every second I can."

Glynda didn't flinch. "I agree. What happened was unacceptable - a black mark on this academy's record. I have already spoken with Headmaster Ozpin about tightening protocols. But the fact remains: you cannot take her on training missions or field exercises. She must learn to be apart from you. And you must help her build the courage to do so, or the fear will only grow stronger."

Jaune looked away, shoulders rigid.

"She was helpless. She was terrified. She's just a kid."

"I know," Glynda said quietly. "Nearly dying, alone and afraid, is difficult for anyone. Especially a child. But you cannot shield her from the world forever. Not if you want her to grow up strong."

She walked around the desk and rested a hand on his shoulder, the gesture surprisingly gentle.

"You are a good father, Jaune. It is natural to want to keep her close. But this is not the way. Help her feel safe even when you are not beside her. That is how you truly protect her."

Jaune was quiet for a long moment. Then he nodded slowly, voice rough. "It's… really hard to let go."

Glynda's hand lingered for a second longer. "I know. But it is better to help her build that courage now than to wait until it becomes a much larger problem later."

Jaune looked up at her, eyes tired but grateful. Without thinking, he pulled her into a quick, tight hug.

"Thank you, Professor."

Glynda stiffened for a heartbeat, then relaxed. A faint blush colored her cheeks as she gently patted his back.

"Just… make me dinner again sometime. And allow me to babysit Mia more often. Then we shall consider ourselves even."

Jaune pulled back with a small, genuine smile. "Deal."


Later that evening, JNPR returned to the dorm together. Jaune carried Mia inside and settled onto his bunk with her in his lap. The others gave them space, though Pyrrha lingered nearby, quietly folding laundry.

Jaune brushed a hand through Mia's hair, voice soft but steady.

"Mia… next week, I have to go train with Grandpa in the woods for a few days. You're going to stay here at Beacon with your aunties and uncles."

Mia's ears immediately flattened. Her lower lip trembled.

"No… I don't want you to go. Stay here. Please?"

Jaune's heart ached, but he kept his tone firm and gentle.

"I have to, kitten. I need to get stronger. Stronger so I can protect you better. So that nothing like what happened last week ever happens again."

Mia sniffled, fat tears welling in her eyes.

"But what if something bad happens while you're gone? What if the bad wolf comes back?"

Jaune cupped her small face in his hands, making her look at him. "That's why you need to be a good girl. A brave girl. You need to stay safe and listen to your aunties and uncles while I'm gone. Because if I'm worrying about you the whole time, I might mess up. I might get hurt. And I know you don't want that."

Mia stared at him for a long moment, tears rolling down her cheeks. She sniffled hard, hiccuped once, then nodded sullenly.

"…Okay."

She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him as tightly as her little arms could manage, burying her face in his shoulder.

Jaune held her close, eyes closing as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

"I love you, Mia. More than anything."

"…Love you too, Papa," she whispered, voice small and shaky.

 

[Azzy Rael]

Alright, not really feeling this one. Mia' like, five. If she was double digits, I could see the argument holding water- but until then she's a child with a single parent who previously trusted the system, and the system failed. It isn't detrimental to her upbringing to have her father around her more often after that kind of scare. Hell, that's enough that anyone hearing that might need to give Glynda a what the hell- because in the start its a 'I can kinda get that you teach teens, but what kind of knowledge do you have of young children' and the later part has the optics of using a traumatic experience to hit on him.

 

[mgl1206]

Nah, I agree with Azzy, Goodwitch is in the wrong here.

 

[ThunderBasilisk]

Probably could have been worded better but something else should probably have been said. Then again it being Remnant people would definitely do their damndest to stamp out fear growing more in kids. Cause that just guarantees a future encounter

 

[AndrewJTalon]

A few prompts:

-Let's have some ideas for some other students at Beacon! OCs or expies of other characters! We need to fill out the school, after all.

-Jaune was a child star in a long running family sitcom. Something he's tried to distance himself from because he's humiliated by it.

-Ruby gets her hands on an Atlesian Laser Rifle and she's gonna have some fun modifying it! What kind of abomination will she create?

-Ren attempts to teach meditation to his friends. It has... Varying results. Mostly raising his blood pressure.

-The teachers of Beacon have to do parent/teacher conferences. How does it go?

-Coco meets Taiyang for drinks, and Glynda is not happy about this!

-Jedi Jaune does some more training! And naturally his friends offer some feedback on his technique. Often in the form of attacking him and trying to kick his ass.

-Give me ideas for more of Jaune Arc, Single Father!

-Ruby befriends Jack Arc as her guinea pig.

[AndrewJTalon]

They didn't call it a date.

Not out loud.

It was "taking Mia to the Vale Zoo on a Saturday when the rest of both teams mysteriously had "urgent training" to do. (Nora had actually winked so hard she pulled a muscle.)

Jaune appreciated it a lot... Though Nora seemed to be having a lot of fun with it.

Jaune showed up at RWBY's dorm at nine sharp with Mia on his shoulders, her little hands fisted in his hair like reins. She wore a tiny sunhat and brand-new sneakers that lit up every time her feet hit the ground.

Yang was waiting in the hallway in ripped jeans, a cropped yellow tank top, and a soft flannel shirt. She'd left her hair down, loose waves catching the morning light. It made Jaune's breath catch.

"Figured you'd need caffeine if we're surviving a four-year-old on a sugar high," she said, handing him the taller cup.

Mia leaned down from his perch on Jaune's shoulders to pat Yang's head. "Auntie Yang has pretty hair today!"

Yang's ears went pink. "Thanks, Squirt. You ready to see the big kitties?"

Mia's answering squeal rattled the windows. Yang snickered.

"Ruby used to reach that pitch."

"I think she still does," Jaune said, rubbing his ear.

- - -

The zoo was perfect chaos.

Mia ran from exhibit to exhibit like a caffeinated pinball, dragging them by the hand. Yang hoisted her up every time she wanted a better view, strong arms steady, laughing when Mia tried to roar back at the lions and only managed an adorable squeak.

Jaune watched them more than the animals.

He watched Yang crouch to Mia's level so she could feed the giraffes, golden hair falling over one shoulder, voice soft and patient when Mia got lettuce juice on her shirt. Watched her lift Mia onto her shoulders so she could wave at the penguins, both of them giggling when the birds flapped back. Watched her sneak Mia an extra ice-cream cone when Jaune pretended to look away.

Somewhere between the red pandas and the petting zoo, Mia declared she needed a bathroom break. Jaune took her, leaving Yang leaning against the railing of the goat pen, arms folded, staring at a baby goat.

When they returned, Yang was snickering as she fed the goat carrots. She grinned up at Jaune.

"Guess I finally got the goat? I knew the carrot was better than the stick!"

Jaune sighed. Mia giggled.

"I like goats! I wanna feed him!"

Yang handed the carrot over to her, and she stuck out in front of the goat. It bit down, and Mia yelped in shock. She cried and turned back to Yang.

"He bit me!" She sniffled. Yang and Jaune reached out, checking her hand together.

"It's okay," Jaune said gently, "Nothing bad."

"Yeah," Yang added, "Looks like the goat got you, huh?"

Mia sniffled. Yang hugged her, rubbing her back.

"Aw, sweetie. It's okay, promise."

Mia scowled and turned around. She bared her teeth at the goat.

"My turn!"

"Oh no!" Jaune pulled her back, and set her up on his shoulders, "We'll have goat some other time, huh?"

"Like curry? I love curry!" Yang gushed, as they wandered away from the petting zoo. Jaune grinned.

"I do too! I learned to cook it!"

"Extra spicy?"

"Yeah!"

Yang grinned.

"Then you're making it for dinner for me, got it?"

"Deal."

"ELEPHANTS!" Mia shrieked happily.

Mia's bad mood evaporated in the face of the giant pachyderms. She eagerly devoured some ice cream while watching one play with a soccer ball.

"Ah, Yang? Shoelace," Jaune said. Yang chuckled and took her like it was the most natural thing in the world. She grimaced playfully up at Mia.

"You're getting heavy, kid. Pretty soon you'll be carrying me."

"Nuh uh," Mia said solemnly. "You're too big and strong."

Yang's smile went soft around the edges. She looked at Jaune as he tied his shoelace, something shy and bright flickering there.

They wandered toward the big cat enclosure as the afternoon golden hour hit. Mia had finally run out of steam and was dozing atop Yang's shoulders, sunhat crooked, one shoe dangling from her toes.

Yang adjusted her grip, careful. "She's out cold."

"She trusts you," Jaune said quietly.

Yang's throat bobbed. "Yeah. Weird how that happens."

They found a bench under a tree. Jaune sat first; Yang settled beside him, Mia curled in her lap like a kitten. The silence was easy, filled only with distant animal calls and Mia's soft snores.

Yang spoke first, voice low. "I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. Like I'm gonna wake up and realize I dreamed today."

Jaune bumped her shoulder. "I think it smells too much like animal dung to be a dream."

She snorted, then sobered.

"I've never… done this. The whole… family-outing thing. Not like this. Not... For a while."

"Me neither," he admitted. "Not since Katie."

Yang looked down at Mia, brushing a curl off her forehead. "She's so little. And she just… lets me in. Like it's simple."

"It is simple," Jaune said. "To her, you're safe. You're warm. You make the bad dreams go away and you buy her ice cream with sprinkles. That's plenty."

Yang's eyes were suspiciously shiny. "You make it sound easy."

"It's not," he said. "But today? Today felt easy."

She was quiet a long time. Then, barely audible: "I like easy. With you guys."

Jaune's heart did something complicated again. He reached over and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, fingers lingering maybe a second longer than strictly necessary.

"I like easy with you, too."

Yang turned her face into his palm for a heartbeat, just long enough for him to feel the warmth of her cheek, then pulled back with a shaky laugh.

"Careful, Arc. Keep being sweet and I might start thinking this was a date."

He smiled, soft. "Would that be so bad?"

Her breath caught. A monkey screeched in the distance like it was laughing at both of them.

"…No," she whispered. "It wouldn't be bad at all..."

"No," Jaune murmured, "I... I mean..."

Yang stared at him.

Jaune stared back at her. He slowly leaned in, eyes locked onto hers. She felt her heart pounding in her chest. She licked her lips as he got closer. She could smell his sweat, see the spots in his eyes, feel his breath against her face. Her lips parted, almost invitingly. Closer... Closer...

Mia chose that moment to wake up, blinking blearily. "Did we miss the seals?"

Jaune jerked back like he was struck by lightning. Yang was flushed bright red, breathing hard.

But she recovered first, grinning wide. "Y-Yeah, sorry Squirt. But I bet if we ask nicely, your dad will buy us tiger cookies on the way out."

Mia's eyes went round. "With stripes?"

"The stripiest," Jaune promised.

Mia wiggled down and grabbed both their hands, tugging them toward the exit. "Come on come on come on!"

Yang let herself be dragged. Her eyes met Jaune's briefly, who flushed and looked back at his daughter. She allowed herself a smile.

Later, walking back to the airship docks with a sleeping child on Jaune's back and three bags of souvenirs between them, Yang leaned over and bumped his shoulder again.

"Hey, Jaune?"

"Yeah?"

"... You uh... You want to do this again?" She asked. "I mean... Maybe... With Mia left behind?"

Jaune stared at her for a long, quiet moment. He then smiled, and it made Yang's stomach flip.

"Yeah... I-I'd like that."

Yang grinned.

"Good..."

Now... How the hell do I keep the others from horning in on this?

She paused.

Without violence?

Hmmm... That was going to be tricky.

We should all conveniently ignore how Zoos make absolutely no sense in Remnant and just enjoy the wholesomeness.
