I could see this as the perfect beach episode for RWBY.

MOAR!

It's been almost a year. Any chance of a new chapter soon? As far as AUs and short story collections go, this is easily one of my favorites.

Ooh, the Adam scenes are painfully out of character after Season 3. Adam being nice to Blake? Hah!

You mentioned a crow watching. I'd totally say it's Qrow, but how could you possibly have predicted that in 2013? Unless you edited it in later?
I wonder why Jaune's strikes were lasting. I like it, but I don't understand it.
I love Ozpin in this story.

Another very good chapter. Badass is in the blood, it seems.

Take care, good luck, and I look forward to your next update.

In the wake of Season Three, I delved more deeply into the fandom to see more in-depth and hopefully uplifting version of the four heroines and their extended friends and family. And then I stumbled quite by accident across this story. Or should I say instead stories.

While each individual chapter can be read as its own story with its own pros and cons, the overall theme seems to be a good one, giving more characters a chance to grow and develop in the spotlight, as well as expanding upon the fairytale motifs associated with their characters. Clearly, you do your homework. And it seems more often than not are right, given how many times you wrote in your story an event that later either partially or fully came to light as truth. Blake’s faunus heritage, Penny’s robotic reveal, Nora’s shocking semblance, even the revelation of Beacon’s sub-basements. Granted, there were a few elements that do not mesh with the show’s canon, particularly with their families, but those are easily overlooked in favor of a good story, which this most certainly is. If not a GREAT story.

Personal favorites include King and Pawn, Hide and Seek, and Good and Evil. More of that would be welcome in future installments. Perhaps you can do more to explore the bad guys as well as the good ones?

I can't wait for Zoom and Doom!

Good to know my work is being appreciated, at least.

...well, this was...dark, to say the least...

Said TV Tropes page has now also been edited for grammar. Huzzah!

great chapter , love the way this story is going, keep up the excellent work! Keep the good writing and hope for more update soon can't wait to read more)

And this is why its never a good idea to mess with Granny. Loving this visit to see Amber Rose again, as well as the idea of this ‘Scar’ Grimm. Intelligent monsters make for the most interesting enemies.

I wonder, have you been able to see the second episode of Volume 3, where it explains Nora's Semblance? Because that puts an extra dose of hilarity and brilliance on the way Nora charges her weapon here.

Considering working with young children is something I enjoy doing as much as Ruby, I have to give you major props for this chapter. Definitely a much needed pick-me-up after the last chapter. Thank you!
