Jaune loved his adoptive big sister, he really did. He just wished she could be a little less…well... evil. Still, Cinder saved him from their cruel adoptive mother and swore to look after him, so he can't abandon her. Maybe in between this whole "destroying the world" stuff, he can convince her to be a good person. She saved him so it's his brotherly duty to save her in return.
Qrow Branwen was a man filled with regrets about the past. The last thing he expected when Tyrian Callows poisoned him was that he might have a chance to go back and fix those mistakes, and maybe to make a few more along the way. Team STRQ rose and fell, but this time its weakest member will make sure that doesn't happen. No matter what lengths he has to go to.
Across the wartorn land of Remnant, a young man flees his burning village and finds refuge in an old temple. There, he will find a new mentor in Master Shu Ren, ancient master of Lotus Temple Sect of martial arts. Trained from a young age in martial arts and the secrets of perfect aura control, a young Xia will be unleashed on the land. Remnant's last. Inspired by Wuxia novels.
When Jaune unlocked a Semblance based on a game system, he saw it as a chance to become more popular and impress girls, and so sank all his points into Charisma. Now the world needs saving and apparently he's supposed to be the one to do it, and this stupid Semblance doesn't come with a respec option. Welp. Time to embrace the bard inside, and see how far max Charisma can take you.
Remnant has ever been full of unsolved mysteries, unknown creatures and powerful beings, artefacts and more. Humanity remains ignorant because of the work of the brave men and women of ARC Corp who hunt, contain and neutralise those anomalies. A paranormal investigator wasn't the kind of work Blake was thinking of when she left the White Fang, but beggars can't be choosers.
Victory can prove bitter, especially when you're the only one alive to see it. With the world in chaos and everyone he ever loved dead, Jaune Arc makes a deal with the devil for one last chance to go back and change it all. But devils don't play by the same rules as humans, and Salem never did say how far back he'd go. Or how much deeper the war between her and Ozpin really went.
Jaune liked to think he knew his friends well, and his teammates better than anyone, but when his newly unlocked Semblance keeps inserting him into the dreams of those sleeping around him he'll have a chance to see the people he thinks he knows in a new light - whether he wants to or not. Can he keep his accidental invasions of privacy secret or will the nightmares force his hand?
Roman was washed-up, at an all-time low, reduced from a gentleman thief on the front page of every newspaper to a glorified thug beaten by a 15 year old girl. Well, no more. Roman is going to reclaim his glory and prove to everyone that this old dog still has what it takes to be the best, or die trying! Poor Neo just wishes her adoptive father would pick a safer mid-life crisis.
Salem won. Defeated and captured, Ozma was driven into insanity, never to rise against her again. For a thousand years Remnant has lived under the rule of the Eternal Queen, shaped to her whims. Jaune Arc is but a young man suffering from nightmares that aren't his own; driven to fulfil a destiny that isn't his, before the fractured mind of a broken man consumes him entirely.
Remnant is under siege. The last dredges of humanity cling to life within the arcologies - cramped cities struggling to make ends meet - as the Grimm and worse draw close. Life is cheap, and the sacrifices are many. Jaune Arc was just a private, Engineering Corps, 412th Division, when a mission gone wrong threw him into the death sentence that is Beacon Academy. Remnant Invicta.
Semblances are one in a million, a lottery of differing abilities and effects that can define a Huntsman's career. Jaune Arc always wished for one that was special, that marked him as unique, but he could have never predicted just how powerful his would be, how difficult being "unique" truly is - and just how far the people of Remnant would go to control it.
Jaune applied to Beacon with his fake transcripts – his rejection was all but guaranteed. What wasn't expected was that a single ticked box put down on a secondary school choice might change his life forever. Beacon may have rejected him, but there is more than one academy on Remnant and more than one way to become a hero. Atlas Academy, and it's quasi-military structure, await.
Jaune was a hunter, hunting animals from a young age. Not Grimm, and never people. Not like the so-called 'real' Hunters he wanted nothing to do with. But when an absent sister asks him to help rescue a missing student, Jaune Arc and Lie Ren will both have to put aside their differences and learn what it means to be true Huntsmen if they're to survive the Grimmlands.
When Faux-Professor Jaune Arc wasn't busy pretending to be teacher, or dealing with Team RWBY sneaking into his rooms... or with Roman demanding favours. He was busy living the life of a teacher at the illustrious Beacon Academy. A spin-off series to professor Arc. Comedy/Parody
Blake had fled, making it clear she couldn't trust him to change. She thought him inhuman, lost, a beast. He was going to prove her wrong. Getting into Beacon was hard enough, but fitting in would be harder still. All those... humans. Will a man fuelled by hate truly be able to let go and move on; or is suffering the only thing Adam Taurus can ever bring to those around him?
Of all the consequences of forging his transcripts, being kidnapped by Salem, Queen of the Grimm was not one Jaune Arc expected. Then again, she probably hadn't expected that the act might lead to her being "cured" of her Grimm affliction, either. Suddenly human and no longer in charge of her own Grimm, Salem will be damned if this idiot doesn't take responsibility.
Impatient after thousands of years of stalemates between Ozma and Salem, the Brother Gods decide to intervene. A new contest, Ozma's side against Salem's, to decide Remnant's fate. A contest requires combatants however, and what better or fairer than to pit one man against himself – against alternate versions of himself. Jaune Arc against Jaune Arc, for the fate of all worlds.
Living day to day as a messenger in the slums, Ruby thought her life was set out for her. But when a mysterious meeting with an Arcanist draws her into a conspiracy that threatens all she loves, that changes. Wielding the power of a Wildmage and hunted by enemies and Arcanists alike, Ruby must find answers in the one place her kind cannot venture; the Arcane Collegium.
Jaune wanted nothing more than to become a hero – and in a way he got his wish. One man's criminal is another's hero and the faunus of Remnant need a champion. Who better to take the mantle of leader of the White Fang? Not a faunus? Not a terrorist? No aura, training or leadership skills to speak of? Minor details. All hail supreme leader Jaune Arc. Long live the resistance!
Finally the week's holiday before the Vytal Festival, and for Professor Arc, it couldn't have come soon enough.
Especially when he manages to snag tickets to one of the most expensive resorts in Vacuo. A full week's rest to himself, with no criminals, no crazy students - and definitely no vicious little multi-coloured slaver.
Seven days with just sun, sand, sea and Neo... wai-Neo?
Jaune was down on his luck even before he found himself getting mugged in an alleyway. The last person he expected to be saved by was a man even more beaten up than he. Junior might not have been perfect but he and his gang made their own destiny, no matter what life threw at them. Junior's gang represented the one thing Jaune never knew he needed - the chance to prove himself.
Jaune wasn't exactly Blake's type, but giving him a hand was the least she could do after he helped her out... it didn't have to mean anything - no matter what Yang implied! Also would Ruby cut it out with the knowing looks, I'm just returning a favour! Blake x Jaune realistic romance, focused on their times at Beacon Academy.
In a world where your allies can be just as dangerous as your enemies, sometimes it can be difficult for a criminal mastermind to find a little stress relief. That blonde idiot, Jaune, was just unimportant enough, just malleable enough, to be a viable option. It was meant to be a one time thing, an easy lay. Emotions were never supposed to get involved.
Dust was humanity's equalizer against the Grimm, a tool with limitless possibilities – especially when handled with care. Jaune was but a child when he started experimenting, but they say there's lessons to learned, even in failure. Jaune's not sure why his mixtures are considered failed reactions though. [ONE SHOT]
Seeing that young man die in initiation was horrifying for her. Even with all her time in the White Fang, she hadn't expected to see such an idealistic man as Jaune Arc die like that. It should have been nothing more than a tragedy... Instead she's now stuck with the lingering spirit of this guy following her around, and no one else can hear or see him in any way. Jaune x Blake
He didn't know the first thing about teaching, Hell, he didn't even know the first thing about fighting! A shame then, that his forged documents painted the picture of an accomplished and skilled warrior. Now he's trapped teaching students his own age how to be hunters, when he doesn't even know himself!
Yang knew better than to look for love in a bar. She was neither foolish nor naive. But when a chance encounter leads to a meeting with a mysterious dancer that has her heart racing, it can be hard to resist. For Jaune, the life he wanted was that of a hero, but such a life required training and the money to pay for it. What is a man to do, but make use of the few talents he has.
When Jaune woke up back in his house with his sisters and family, all he could do was sigh. Every time he died he was forced to start over again, and this was what... the one thousandth time? More? If it doesn't matter how hard he tries, doesn't matter how much he fights. Then maybe it's time to just kick back and enjoy himself. Fate can find someone else to be its whipping boy.
Jaune had no interest in Ozpin's latest training initiative, especially when it pit boys against girls across Beacon. Cowardice or not, he intended to hide and wait the whole thing out. Leading the male alliance wasn't part of the plan, nor was becoming mankind's final hope. He was a coward, an idiot and a weakling. It was just a shame no one would believe him when he said so!
Yang wasn't used to leadership, but she wasn't going to accept Ozpin's suggestion of mandatory rest either. Not when it meant losing her spot on Team RWBY. If she had to lead a rookie squad of police officers against the White Fang to prove she could still fight, then so be it. Too bad no one told her the VSPR was made up of Vale's worst criminals, many of which she knew by name.
Jaune Arc, Field Agent of the VSS - Vale's Secret Service, or at least that's what he's been told. All he knows is that they found out about his faked transcripts, and now he works in the interests of the Kingdom. With terrorists on the horizon, not to mention a shady organisation and an even shadier group operating under Ozpin, what's a bumbling teen turned secret agent to do?
Every family has its odd member, the one that doesn't fit. Jaune was just that, the black sheep. He had always wanted to be the hero, to be a Huntsman. But when your name is Jaune Salem Arc - Prince of the Grimm - and your mother is understandably against the idea, what is a young man to do? Why, run away to attend Beacon in pursuit of a dream, of course. What could go wrong?
Weiss needed a significant other for a meeting between her father and some powerful business people. Sun needed a way to convince Blake to go with him to the school dance. Luckily, Blake has a solution to both problems. Sun pretending to be Weiss' boyfriend wasn't what he or Weiss would have ideally wanted, but how hard could it be? It's not like there were any feelings involved.
Jaune was only worried about two things in life; graduating from high school and dodging his hated bully. He didn't care about the supernatural, nor believe in it. But a chance encounter with a mysterious girl in red will open his eyes to a world that lives beside our own, a dangerous and deadly secret. But beware, child, for eyes once opened to the truth may never again be closed.
Jaune had always dreamed of being a Hero, of being someone. But dreams were just that; for in the world of Remnant the Class you are born with determines your fate. Jaune was born a Blacksmith, and thus that was his destiny. But when a strange opportunity allows him to change that, can a simple Blacksmith become something more within the Beacon Academy for Heroes?
When Jaune's forged transcripts were rebuffed, his only option was to return home in disgrace or forge a new life in Vale. Opening a diner was an impetuous decision, being good at it a stroke of luck. Becoming the favourite haunt for students, teachers and criminals alike…? That was neither, but it sure did keep things interesting. Wasn't the civilian life supposed to be easier?
A Semblance so powerful Kingdoms will kill to acquire it. A family stolen away to try and replicate its effects. A conspiracy that threatens to tear Atlas in two. A young man who wants his sisters back, and a General caught between doing the right thing and his duty. Will Jaune manage to rescue his family, and can James Ironwood prevent him falling to darkness in the process?
He didn't know the first thing about running a school, nor fixing a political disaster spanning all of Remnant. Hell, he didn't even know how to deal with the world-ending conspiracy in the background, let alone a former-headmaster-possessed child. Yet here he was, leading Beacon Academy into a new age of glory. Or ruin. Definitely a fair chance of the latter…
'Twas the night before Christmas and something went a little... wrong at Beacon. Now it's up to Professor Jaune Arc and the other staff to save Christmas, how could it ever go wrong? A festive Professor Arc one-shot for everyone.
Some people drink to forget; some drink to mask trauma; others drink to escape their lives. Why does Jaune Arc drink? Mostly because of his Semblance. What, you were expecting something darker? Follow Jaune Arc, the drunken master, on his adventure to become a huntsman. When he can remember why he's in Beacon, what he's doing, or even his own name. Bottoms up! Chug! Chug! Chug!
