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.

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…

Tragedy at the Vytal Tournament leads to discovery as Jaune Arc discovers his Semblance and its ability to go back in time to undo his mistakes. Unfortunately, it only activates upon death. And... Jaune doesn't exactly have the best of memories. Will this knight be able to save his kingdom, and discover the truth behind the name of Arc?

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?

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?

Jaune Arc's life was as normal as the next guy's. He attended college, he had a job, and he had friends like any other boy his age, but all of that changed when he took in an injured black cat. STATUS: DISCONTINUED

Jaune Arc did not expect having his life saved by an angel, he did not expect being made an actual Huntsman by that angel, and he ESPECIALLY did not expect becoming her husband. STATUS: DISCONTINUED

Issei didn't know what he was getting into when he made a deal with The Red Dragon Emperor, all he knew, was his friend was in danger and he needed to save her, no matter the cost. Eventually, Issei finds himself mixed up in the world of Angels, Devils and Fallen Angels, however, at least he has a way to fight for those he cares about. Less perverted, powerful, Dragon Issei. Harem.

Yang just wanted to be a better friend to Jaune and help cheer him up, but one thing led to another. That one night together was all it took for them to see a different side of each other. Sides seldom seen... but they're still just friends. Yang is definitely not noticing the dork more and Jaune is certainly not falling for another girl. It's just some clean release. Nothing more.

... Not really. Team RWBY wake up one seemingly normal morning only to find that Ruby isn't alone in bed. She's surrounded by five strange girls who came out of nowhere. Who are these girls? And why are they fighting over Ruby? (RubyxHarem) (rated M for suggestive/sexual themes)

After a drunken night of mistakes the entire cast of RWBY finds themselves in trouble, but none worse than the blonde knight. Jaune has accidentally got Ruby pregnant. He has survived the Beacon entrance exam, grimm, but nothing could preparing him for this. Jaune will have to survive the wrath of Taiyang, Qrow, and worst of all, Yang…

Jaune Arc hated dying. This is an odd state of being for one to state they hated, as dying happens only but once. Twice maybe if you're lucky. Then again, you aren't the universe's chew toy either... Jaune x Harem. Rated M for swearing, gore, sexual themes and terrible jokes.

When Jaune gets a brand new look, and a bit of advice, he'll soon find himself in many new situations with many of our favorite female fighters! Based off of RWBY: Spectacle(s), image belongs to Exvnir, and RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth. Jaune x Harem, with a nice twist. Note: I do not condone flamers and find them an utter annoyance, so reviews will be removed on sight!

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.

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?

She didn't want much out of a relationship. Just someone willing to submit to her. Someone willing to love her. Someone...innocent. (Rated M for Smuttiness and general Naughtiness) ((Cover art by Exvnir))

Whoever said life isn't a game was entirely wrong. Everything is a game; it's just a matter of understanding the rules. While Jaune Arc might not have been the strongest player, he could certainly learn the rules quickly. Good thing too; with a mysterious foe on the horizon and Remnant in danger, Jaune might be Remnant's last hope of survival...

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?

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.

After ten years in the badlands fighting grimm Jaune finally returns home to fulfill a promise he made to a certain blonde brawler. JaunexYang. Rated M for language. My own take on the Story 'Promises' by Defiled Ladel. I do not own RWBY it belongs to Monty Oum may he rest in peace and Roosterteeth.

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.

At first, Jaune didn't know what to think about the things happening with his sisters, but before long, he decided not to question it. Things that felt this good couldn't be wrong after all, and no one was getting hurt... right?/ Jaune x his OC sisters. Forbidden romance with all the things that comes with family; humor, drama, and hurt. Co-written with Salter.

With a roguish smile, a feathered coat and an audacious personality, a mysterious and charming Phantom Thief prowls the moonlit streets of Vale, seeking fame and fortune belonging not to him. Who is this masked man? Where will he strike next? And what is his connection to one Jaune Arc? The night is young, so let's have some fun... (Phantom Nevermore re-write.)

One day after school, Issei gets a big surprise from Akeno! Since then, Issei finally began building the harem he always wanted. Issei x Huge Harem. Combines hotness with comedy, and also includes some action. Rated M for adult content such as language, violence and lots of lemons. Co-written with DemonHide. Continues in the one-shot fanfiction: "TWBDTT: Grand Finale".

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!

Jaune's seven sisters are possessed by the swords passed down the Arc family lineage and it is now up to him to save them.

Jaune was unnoticed for three years, and that's how he liked it. He stayed invisible and inconspicuous despite his talents and family's urging. Final year at Signal High and it seems like it'll be the same, at least until that prodigy had to be the younger sister of the most popular girl in school decided to latch on to him -of all people- and drag him into the open. ADOPTABLE

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 thinks Reese is the coolest, and hoping she'll think the same about him, goes up to her after her match against RWBY. The two of them enter into an open relationship, and Jaune finds himself facing all of the struggles and amazing things that brings. / Jaune x Reese (Roller-Blades) open relationship. / Contains smut between Jaune and other characters. / Co-written by Maxaro.

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.

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!

This year was going to be different. He was going to make some friends, find one (and only one!) girlfriend, become a hunter and make his parents proud! It would be easy, right? All he had worry about was Grimm, a group of psychopathic criminal masterminds, international politics and most sinister of all...his own Semblance? Avoiding a harem has never been this hard...

Sequel to 'The Songs We'd Sing'. War has broken out in Remnant, Vale and Atlas against Mistral, Vacuo, and the White Fang, and the students of Beacon find themselves spread to the four winds, forced to fight for different sides while they struggle to keep focused on the real threat, the Grimm. Includes all genres, almost all characters, a myriad of background OCs, and lots of plot.

The adventures of team JNPR through their first year at Beacon. Missions, monsters and mayhem are the watch-words. Romance blooms but can Jaune handle the redhaired victor? There's only one way to find out.

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

RWBY characters get 'busy' with other RWBY characters. Complete smut that has probably been going on for far too long!

Twenty years have passed since the Breach of Vale, the Queen of Remnant now rules everything in a tyrannical dictatorship. With so much lost, and nothing worth fighting for, Cheshire Arc, daughter of Jaune Arc and Blake Belladonna, goes back in time to save the world, and along the way ensure her parents hook up.

"Never touch what is mine..." Yandere!Neo one-shot/drabble collection. Rated M for gore, language, and POSSIBLE sexual situations. This is a collab between a bunch of writers here on FF, author is listed at the end of each chapter, and chapters will therefore have different themes, settings, pairings, and so forth. Enjoy this f*cked up amalgamation of our collective insanity!

Jaune only had a ghost of a chance of surviving Initiation. Thus, he didn't. A little dying is no reason to give up his life's dream of becoming a Hunter, right? Even if 'life' is now a bit late... (Warning: morbid comedy. Literally.) (Now posting how it should have died.)

What happens when you take the already cute girls of RWBY, make them loli sized, add in the perverted minds of two hellbound and shameless writers, season with smut, and finally serve with one Jaune Arc? You get this... thing. Smol!AU. Smutty and/or fluffy ficlets. We've already got an audience with Lucifer himself, so why not see just how deep we can go! Co-written with Loneliest.

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]

RWBY and JNPR are bored. This is bad. So they're going to play Cards Against Remnant. What's the worst that could happen? Rated M because of Cards Against Humanity.

Jaune has a hobby most people would find strange or frown upon. Unfortunately the poor boy can't help himself, he was born to do what he does. They do say that the pen is mightier than the sword. Watch antics unfold as Jaune tries to keep his guilty pleasure away from his friends. Especially Blake.

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.

Jaune awakens his Semblance in the forest when Pyrrha awakens his Aura. It just so happens that it is reading minds of whoever he is looking at. What comes from such a thing? Well, obviously, hilarity and fun. (A mostly serious story with comedic relief from the thoughts of others). ((Co-op with Mika again.))

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.

Jaune was ready to die when he fell off the cliff, he was tired of the war his life had become. Of course when he fell and was offered a second chance he took it. But in typical fashion, Jaune got tricked as he failed to clarify one thing: HOW FAR BACK HE WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO GO! AU of Jaune Arc's Pain! Swearing! Time Travel fic! Troubled, Grimm, Powerful, and Skilled Jaune!

"Guardian… Guardian? Eyes up Guardian. It worked… You're alive!" It takes a lot of effort to bring a man back from the dead so of course there are strings attached, but some people don't need to be forced into protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Destiny AU with all the usual suspects along for the ride.

The sequel to A Knight, A Champion, A Rose. Follow our beloved characters in their second year at Beacon where relationships get more complicated, evil shows more of their cards, tensions increase in general, and the Grimm grow restless. Gives focus to all characters and attention to OCs, but follows Ruby, Jaune, and Pyrrha mainly like the first part. All genres and warnings apply.

What if our two favorite blondes had met before? Omakes by Gilgamesh The King of Heroes

Ruby finds herself facing her end. As she pushes her semblance to new heights, the world breaks. In one fluid, crystallising moment everything changes. A 23 year old Ruby Rose, one of the deadliest hunters on Remnant, spills out of the void and into the dorm of team RWBY, including a 15 year old version of herself. A hunter in a world of unknowing prey. Cover courtesy of Majisuka!

Based on "Professor Arc," by Coeur Al'Aran. "Never leave the one who understands you more than anyone else. Someone who you can talk to about everything and will still stand next to you even with your unwanted attitudes. Treasure the one that accepts and loves every bit of you..."

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?

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

Ever wonder what the fall of Beacon's favorite fraudulent student-teacher would look like? Professor Jaune Arc knew it would be Yang's fault somehow... though he'd forget why soon enough. A gift-fic to Coeur Al'Alran and his story 'Professor Arc.'

'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.

Remnant is no place for a Phantom Thief, but there he was, clad in black feathers and a grin wider than an Ursa. But who is he? And what is his connection to one Jaune Arc? (Let's be honest. You already know.)

Yang have a bad hair day. Jaune says he can fix it. Yang discovers he might be way too good at it.

Pyrrha would be lying if she said she never dreamed of having a family with Jaune. She just didn't expect to be parenting a dragon-girl with him while at Beacon and with an old legend forcing him to find a bride by month's end to avoid the end of the world!

People say that the past is in the past and you should learn to move on. Oh if it were only that simple for one Hyoudou Issei who's past seems to want to drag him back to the world he escaped from. Harem of course, or it wouldn't be Highschool DxD.

"To Trust is to Die" That was Neo's only rule. A harsh lesson, taught to her by life from the moment of her birth, with each day reminding her why those words were absolute. But for every rule, there is always an exception. And in her case, there were two. Contract Killer AU (Blaked Alaska ot3)

An old flame from Blake's years in the White Fang catches up with her at Beacon, but what does she want? And can she be trusted, or resisted for that matter? Mina Carfax is a fragile soul despite all outward appearances, and though she puts on a self-assured face for all the world,Blake knows her better than that.

A story revolving around Pyrrha's affections for her goofball of a leader, Jaune's total obliviousness and all the hijinks in between. And of course, the rest of the RWBY cast will be there to put in their own useless opinions.

Yang Xiao Long wasn't supposed to fall in love with Jaune Arc, especially when Pyrrha Nikos was madly in love with him. Now the three Hunters in training need to find a solution for their own feelings.

When you don't know if the other can love you back? Ruby Rose is head over heels for that rich girl in her class, Weiss Schnee. But is Weiss physically capable to love her back? Obviously, White Rose tied to the plot. Bumblebee is involved, possible hints of Akros and Noren. AU where it's Beacon High School. M Because of lemon in Ch. 17: Adjusting Run

Sometimes the thread of fate ends up getting twisted binding two unlikely souls together, with a series of less than subtle nudges of the unseen hand of fate, a story that would most likely never happen.

Jaune and Blake are dating. No one else really gets it.

What would be a good type of song for Beacon Academy? How about a Ballad? Join team BLAD, along with teams RWBY and JNPR as they work hard to become the best group of hunters in Beacon. Adventure, humor and even some romance await this group of 12 as they study and train to hunt monsters. WeissxOC, JauneXPyrrha, RenXNora and mentions of RubyxOC

Join Jaune Arc and Pyrrha Nikos as they grow and find themselves in what they hope to be the best time of their life- college. "The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes. But don't be afraid."

Just a Jaune and Neo story to help me get back into Huntress in Gamindustri. Neo runs into Jaune at the store or more like tackles him to the ground.

Blake takes a shower and thinks about Yang (among other things). Yang barges in and shit hits the fan. I'll fix the summary eventually. . .maybe. Pairings include Blake/Yang, implied Ruby/Weiss, implied Pyrrha/Jaune, and obvious Nora/Ren. Rated M for Lemon and Dark Themes later on.

Follow Jaune, Pyrrha, and Ruby through their first year at Beacon and watch them grow as fights and experiences come to past. All is not well, but not is all dark, passions and violence appear at any moment without warning, and both good and evil build up in a race against each-other for an inevitable clash. Includes: All warnings apply. I do not own RWBY. First part in a series.

What if Jaune Arc can't talk?

The search for a famously elusive band brings two music lovers together in what might be the most eventful night of their lives. Based somewhat loosely off of Nick and Norah's infinite playlist. [Infinite Playlist AU]

A long dreaded period of Blake Belladonna's life quickly spirals into becoming the most awe-striking, self-discovery journeys of love and passion she has ever experienced. In the heat of passion and frenzied sensation, she learns that true love can appear in the most unassuming and mysterious of places, long after the heat has died down. Namely, in the place of Mister Jaune Arc.

What if Neo met Jaune?

[Cancelled] Imagine a notebook that gave you the power to make any two people fall in love with each other: regardless of gender, race, or ideology. You can make enemies adore each other. Two shy people come closer. Friends become lovers. Blake finds such a notebook, the ShipNote, and with it becomes the Goddess of Matchmaking.

Blake is a masochist, Jaune a sadist. Watch what happens when the two of them start going out and learn this about each other, and continue to watch as Pyrrha figures it out too. *BONDAGE SMUT*

Jaune is your average teen who always finds trouble wherever he goes. Neo is a girl who loves trouble. Throw in a group of scheming sisters and luck, you will have one of the most unusual pairing. JaunexNeo OTP

Players fight to reclaim Aincrad, a massive city spanning 100 districts, from the grasp of the undead. But when they find themselves trapped in this nightmarish world, zombie-hunting ceases to be all fun and games. Welcome to SLD. Follows Kirito and Sinon.

Secluded:The act of secluding, i.e. shutting out or keeping apart from society... Issei is born with a rare disease, something the world hasn't ever seen before... It's seen as a curse, but in actuality... a blessing. No Yaoi. Will be pairings, Issei/Harem. Now M rated due to chapter 10. Been on an extended hiatus.

Hiccup's been away for six months. When he finally comes home, he's... well, maybe Astrid and Ruffnut shouldn't be blamed for their reactions. And they're not the only ones...
