Author has written 19 stories for RWBY.

Hey, lookit that, I've now got a profile picture.

Started fanfic writing as a way to destress and to make it feel like I'd still had a productive day, even if all I did was think about anime characters bein' cute to each other. In doing so, I have now written over 300,000 words about said anime characters, which is, frankly, entirely too many words in general.

As you can tell from my work, I'm a big fan of the ellipsis and em dash.

Currently writing: The Children of Remnant: Fifteen years ago, Queen Salem revealed herself to the people of Remnant with an offer: a reduction in Grimm across the globe, but in exchange, five children, one from each nation, were to be delivered to her as a hostage. Now, Pyrrha, Emerald, Blake, Weiss, and Jaune, Prince of the Grimm, are returning to a world that they haven't seen in fifteen years.

The Fairest of Them All: A comedy series about knights, damsels, dragons, and a slightly-dense knight who doesn't realize that the beautiful, firebreathing girl with scaly wings and sharp claws might be the dragon instead of the damsel.

Exit Stage Left: A 19th Century literary AU where Ruby is Vale's top playwright, only to find herself caught between revolutionary politics and ruthless tabloid journalists, not to mention a very confusing entanglement of loves, all compounded by the fact that, as far as the world knows, she's a man. On temporary hiatus because I realized the ending I wrote for it was clever instead of good. Taking a break to reassess, but the story will be finished!

Lucky Rabbit: A smut series where Velvet falls in love with both Jaune and Pyrrha, only to find the three of them pulled into even crazier sexcapades at Beacon. On hiatus while I figure out what the next few chapters are gonna be about!

And I'm posting some additional smut writing on AO3 under the name Selene_Sokal.

Next Up: Like a Thunderbolt She Falls: Cin Fall, newly appointed Fall Maiden, now has to take up the challenge of staying on the straight and narrow, with her new allies distrusting her and her former allies out to get her. But now she faces the greatest test of her ability as she faces off against a foe as powerful and cunning as she is.

I'm absolutely open to any ideas/concepts people might have! I'm a very disorganized and capricious writer, but if you're willing to put up with that, I'm happy to hear suggestions and requests.

You can follow me on Twitter @SeleneSokal, where I post links to my latest updates and to my other creative projects!

Thrown to the Wind by Faulty Paragon reviews
AU. Pyrrha is on a full-ride for varsity track, the poster child for the university. She really shouldn't be buying junk food every day from shady convenience stores far from the dorms- but there's just the cutest blond who keeps falling apart on the night shift, and whenever she buys chocolate from him he smiles, so… yeah. Late nights and junk food and baby-blue eyes it is. Arkos.

Carrot by Imyoshi reviews
Nora Valkyrie celebrated every holiday under the sun, including the ones she made up. Innocent or not. Only her Fearless Leader had the patience to indulge her whimsical streak, and by perseverance, he meant his inability to say no to her gigawatt smile. Weakness, thy name was Jaune Arc.

Of Complacency and Conspiracies by Faulty Paragon reviews
AU. Pyrrha is Nora's best friend. Jaune is Ren's best friend. And Nora and Ren, childhood friends-turned-housemates, have been dating for probably the last ten years, although they'd never figure that out on their own. So, it's time for Pyrrha and Jaune- acquaintances with the same goal- to team up and make their friends get… together-together. It'll be fine, right? Arkos, Renora.

Jaune's Schneecret Admirer by Mallobaude reviews
Weiss was a responsible and careful girl. It wasn't like her to forget her school supplies in the classroom when she left. When Yang came upon her notebook lying on the desk, she figured it was an easy way to copy some of her friend's notes. She never could have fathomed what would lie in its pages, nor who it would be about. Cover art by Constable Paperbag.

Currant by Imyoshi reviews
Zwei, Remnant's number one corgi, treasured his lovable owner. Ruby Rose was brave, kind-hearted, lonely. She always watched her pack pairing off but never had a playmate of her own. Human mating was a fickle topic. Too much tiptoeing, not enough paw shaking and tummy rubs. Taking his leash into his stubby paws, he roped one clueless Jaune Arc into his matchmaking prowess. Ruff!

Jam by Imyoshi reviews
Ruby Rose had an unorthodox way of defining friendship. Such things included in her bag of goodies was a friendship contract, a coupon book, trips to the Dust store, the occasional board game night where said cinnamon bun was a sore loser, an unfair game of tag, one-sided friend privileges, and much more. Why didn't Jaune Arc read the fine print? Stop laughing, Yang!

It was one thing to fall in love with someone who already had someone perfect for them. It was another thing entirely to fall in love with that person as well. But isn't that just Velvet's luck that she's alone with Jaune and Pyrrha, but can't bear to let them know how she really feels? Indulgent smut.

Her Patchwork Heart reviews
