A/N: Well sorry for the delay, but here's chapter 24. I didn't mean to leave it for this long, but I haven't had much motivation to write smut. Poll is still open till April 20, because blazin' yo.

Also, hope everyone is staying safe with this stupid ass virus going around. Can whoever the fuck is playing Jumanji just finish it already?

Jane Arc's Yuri Harem

Summary: Jane Arc just wanted to go to Beacon and become a huntress. Becoming the object of every girl's desire was never part of the plan! Why did things have to be so complicated?

*From Autumn to Ashes*

Jane groaned weakly as she tried to recover from what could only be called the most tiring round of sex ever of all time. Glynda and Raven both lay next to her, one on either side, and Raven wore the smuggest smirk possible while Glynda sipped on a nice cup of tea she 'borrowed' from Team RWBY's dorm.

"That was…much needed," the blonde professor murmured.

"Told you." Raven gave Jane's cheek a kiss.

"Shut up Raven," Glynda grumbled. "We should consider ourselves lucky that Ozpin seemingly does not care about us doing this with a student."

"If Ozpin really cared he would've put a stop to it when I did this with Yang and Weiss," Jane pointed out wearily, a little too worn out to be any sort of sarcastic at the moment. Who knew that Glynda's riding crop had freaking dust infused into it?

Oh right, Raven did. And neglected to tell her in advance because she's an asshole like that. Jackass. Why she put up with her, sometimes she genuinely did not know. At least Weiss was there to be the voice of reason when no one else could. Oum knows Carla and Raven were anything but sensible, even on the best of days.

Now it looked as though Glynda was another reasonable one to join the most scandalous harem Beacon had ever seen. 'When I joined Beacon and thought I could make history, this wasn't what I had in mind, I'll be honest. But you know what? I don't think I care that much. I'm not the same person I was when I first entered. I'm much different.'

With great effort and reluctance she lifted her hand from Glynda's plump ass and let her fingertips come to life with blue fire. The bright flames danced along her fingers as she lazily wiggled them around. 'Chosen to inherit the Summer Maiden's powers, a semblance that causes more mischief than I know how to handle, and in need of a new weapon. As much as I'd love to keep Crocea Mors in its current form, it won't last forever. I need a little more.'

She'd take it over to Ruby and see what she could do in terms of adjustments. Crocea Mors was ancient and weathered but still a durable piece of weaponry. That said, compared to modern weapons (Ruby's scythe being a prime example), it was not a weapon in its prime nor was it as effective against killing Grimm. Her maiden powers balanced it out, but she didn't want to rely on them heavily in combat.

It was best to upgrade her current equipment. When she had the time, of course. Right now, though?

Right now all she wanted to really do was sleep. She earned it.

The next day, Jane was sitting at her desk idling drawing new designs for both Crocea Mors and her armor. It wasn't terrible by any means; it provided ample protection against both Grimm and other weapons, but it was still cheap and lightweight. It wouldn't last in a longer fight against an older Grimm, or Oum forbid the ones who attacked Amber.

She was not going to let them win. She'd stop them.

But as it were, she wasn't ready. Even with her maiden powers. She was still learning how to properly control them and it wasn't easy. Every bone in her body would ache, her eyes were sore, and she got constant headaches. Ozpin and Raven told her that her body would need some time to get used to the power now coursing through her, but it wasn't easy and it was so frustrating.

The blonde looked at the designs for the armor she had come up with and picked them up, chewing her lip. 'Alright. Time to take these to Ruby and see what she thinks.' She was grateful to have a friend who was absolutely nuts about weapons and liked them more than people.

She strode across the hall and knocked on the door. "Hey, Ruby? You there? I have something to ask you."

"One second!" the fifteen year old piped up. Jane raised an eyebrow at the sound of a bunch of crashing along with an indignant, "Hey!" that probably came from Weiss, but after ten seconds the door opened and the young redhead smiled at her.

"Sorry about that," Ruby said. "I had to sort of clean up a bit. So, what can I do for you?"

"I want you to tell me which one of these you think looks best," Jane answered, handing her the sheets of paper with the various drawings on them.

Ruby took them and her bright silver eyes shot open eagerly. "Ooooh! Those are so pretty! I really like the one with the cape!" No surprise there. Ruby had a damn obsession with them. "What are all of these for? Are you changing your armor or something?"

"Yeah." The blonde nodded. "I figure I could use a little more protection if I'm to not get instantly killed the second I walk out of Beacon."

"Jane, you're third in our year!" Ruby exclaimed.

"And third is just another way of saying, 'second loser'," Jane countered. "Third doesn't cut it." 'I know I may not be able to beat either Yang or Pyrrha now, but with enough training I think I can. I have to, if just to make sure no one else gets hurt.' She had seen what happened to Amber and knew that their enemies wouldn't take pity on her just because she was a student.

"Good point," Ruby sheepishly admitted. She looked over the drawings again and tapped her finger against the second one. "Well if protection is what you want, this one looks the most ideal. It's not much heavier than what you currently have so it won't take your mobility away, but it'll offer more protection. Plus the single shoulder guard does look kinda cool."

"Alright. That'll work for me." Jane handed her the second stack. She had her new armor figured out. Now it was a matter of building it and getting the opinions on Crocea Mors' potential remodel. The old sword needed some work done to it.

"Now, can I get your opinions on what I should do to Crocea Mors?" she asked. "And no, I'm not putting a giant gun in it." There went Ruby's hopes on converting the blonde into using one. Jane wouldn't deny they had uses, but guns just weren't her style. Not everything also needed to be a gun. Seriously, who the hell thought of putting a .50 caliber sniper rifle inside of a fucking scythe?

The little reaper looked a tad deflated at Jane still refusing to add a gun to her sword but she still looked over the designs eagerly. "Well…do you want to still be able to use the shield or no?"

"I have more aura than anyone in our freaking year," Jane reminded dryly. "I think with the new armor I'll be alright."

"Well in that case, you might want to take a look at the broadsword design," Ruby offered. "It's heavier for sure, but it can also be used as a shield to block attacks because of its size. Using something like that means you're not only strong, but very difficult to defeat because you can keep opponents at range. You don't have to get too close to them to do some serious damage. The real problem is of course you haven't used one before, have you?"

"Nope," Jane admitted. "I was hoping Qrow could lend me a hand with that, actually, seeing as he uses a greatsword."

He would be an ideal teacher for her to get better used to a heavier weapon like a broadsword, but at the same time, it was Qrow. The old fucker loved messing with her in various different ways and she suspected that Raven was telling him about last night right now.

"Oh he's a great teacher!" Ruby's eyes sparkled happily at the mention of her favorite uncle. "Don't you know he's the one who taught me how to use a scythe? I used to be complete garbage before he took me under his wing."

"…is that pun intended?" the knight asked.

"No! Dang it Yang!" Ruby groaned and Jane laughed at her unintentional pun. "But anyway, he's a fantastic teacher. He even helped me unlock my aura! I'm sure he can make you into the best knight ever."

"Thanks Ruby. Only problem is…I kinda don't know how to work a forge," Jane said with a sheepish grin. "Do…do you think you can take care of it for me? At your own time of course; I'm not expecting it to be done in like five minutes."

"Oh right. Didn't you guys have a family blacksmith or anything?" Ruby tilted her head to the side.

"My sister, Jenna," Jane answered. "Only problem is that she's on a mission out in Vacuo at the moment and I don't know when she'll be back. Otherwise I'd have sent both blueprints to her."

"Drat. Okay, I'll see what I can do." Ruby smiled brightly. "Don't worry Jane; I'll make it look super cool on you!"

"Thanks Ruby." Jane gave her a quick hug, all too aware of the problems her damned semblance caused. Luckily for her, Ruby either didn't know about it or did and just wasn't bothered by it. 'Thank Oum there's one girl not borderline obsessed with attempting to bed me.'

"No problem!" the young reaper chirped. "Oh by the way, Weiss wanted to give you this." She handed the blonde a small box.

"What's this?" Jane asked.

Before Ruby could answer, Weiss burst out of the bathroom, the only thing covering her body being a tiny blue towel. "Ruby! We said we wouldn't talk about that!"

"A piece of jewelry," Ruby answered, ignoring Weiss completely. "Weiss said she felt a little bad about how everyone was wearing you out to the point of exhaustion and wanted to get you a gift."

"Hmph." Weiss's cheeks turned bright red and she looked away in embarrassment.

"Aww. Didn't know you were such a big softy, Weisscream." Jane opened the box and saw the beautiful emerald necklace. "Wow. This couldn't have been cheap. Thank you, Weiss."

"Y-yeah, sure…" Weiss, stuttering? Okay, that was almost too cute. Jane had to suppress giving her a tight hug. She settled for a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you," she murmured.

"…right." Weiss never was one for mushy things, but she was beginning to thaw more and more. Pun intended that time.

CLICK!

"Ruby! Did you just take a picture!?" Weiss glared at her partner. "Delete this!"

Jane took that as her time to go before the heiress released her powerful glyphs on Ruby, who was cackling victoriously about having blackmail material.

Jane shrugged her shoulders and glanced back at JNPR's sister team. "My armor and stuff is in my locker. I'll send you the codes for when you need it, okay?"

"Yep!" Ruby cheered despite of a scowling Weiss trying to desperately take her scroll away from her.

The blonde let out a soft hum and began to walk outside. The Vytal Festival was only a week away and already the weather was starting to change to autumn, the leaves turning brilliant hues of gold, red, and yellow.

One leaf fell into her open palm, light and crunchy, and she looked up at the light grey skies above. 'Even though autumn is beautiful, I think I still prefer summer.'

It took her a little time to fully let it sink in, but Beacon was her home now. Any threats that came knocking at their doors, whether it be Grimm or someone else, would have to fight her to get through the school.

A/N: Again I must apologize for how long it took for me to actually bother to write this. I haven't had much motivation to do anything but try and sleep since I'm in TWO essential businesses at the moment and work is just brutal. Fucking hell my life sucks.
