WilliamRaineyHarlawhide bio
 Author has written 4 stories for RWBY. Hey folks. Ecologist in the central US, age 28. That's probably about as much detail as I can afford to put here. I've got a decent understanding of Spanish and Russian, which may or may not prove useful on this site, but I might as well mention it. Favorite fandoms: Discworld, Star Wars, Mass Effect, ASOIAF, Pushing Daisies, Firefly, Dresden Files, RWBY, Myst, Bas-Lag, LOTR, the original Sherlock Holmes stories, The Wire, Scary Go Round. Favorite creators: Borges, Gaiman, Kingsolver, Pushkin, del Toro, Kipling, Sergei Bodrov, M.R. James. ...One of these days, I'm going to make a fictional version of A Sand County Almanac. (As in, set on the Discworld or in Coeur d'Coeurs.) I am absolutely hopeless Qrow/Winter trash. On the plus side, I'm clearly not the only one. |

Redemption by RainStorm4 reviews
Seasons 1, 2 and 3 of RWBY, told through the eyes of Russel Thrush and his team. Friendship, drama, (hopefully) some humour to build up some characters with a lot of potential who, at the moment in the show, are fairly 2D. CRDL-centric, but with plenty of interaction with the other teams. Russel/Yang ultimately.

Stress Relief by Coeur Al'Aran reviews
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.

"It's not you that he's in love with, Winter. He looks at you, but he only sees her." "Do you really think I don't know that, James?" "No," sighs the general, "you always know exactly what you're doing." A [hilarious and altogether tone-inappropriate] alternate title could be: Winter wearily watches a warworn, wounded wreck who won't withhold his wavering, waffling, and winking.
