Jaune wanted nothing more than to become a hero – and in a way he got his wish. One man's criminal is another's hero and the faunus of Remnant need a champion. Who better to take the mantle of leader of the White Fang? Not a faunus? Not a terrorist? No aura, training or leadership skills to speak of? Minor details. All hail supreme leader Jaune Arc. Long live the resistance!

A Semblance so powerful Kingdoms will kill to acquire it. A family stolen away to try and replicate its effects. A conspiracy that threatens to tear Atlas in two. A young man who wants his sisters back, and a General caught between doing the right thing and his duty. Will Jaune manage to rescue his family, and can James Ironwood prevent him falling to darkness in the process?

Living day to day as a messenger in the slums, Ruby thought her life was set out for her. But when a mysterious meeting with an Arcanist draws her into a conspiracy that threatens all she loves, that changes. Wielding the power of a Wildmage and hunted by enemies and Arcanists alike, Ruby must find answers in the one place her kind cannot venture; the Arcane Collegium.

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…

As a vampire, Ruby Rose depended on the blood of others to sustain herself. There was only one problem. She hated blood. There very sight of it made her queasy. Some vampire she was! But Ruby needed to eat to survive. So when it came time to feed, and her prey lay sleeping in his bed, she hesitated. Until the young blond boy finally woke up, and wondered just what was going on.

Blake had fled, making it clear she couldn't trust him to change. She thought him inhuman, lost, a beast. He was going to prove her wrong. Getting into Beacon was hard enough, but fitting in would be harder still. All those... humans. Will a man fuelled by hate truly be able to let go and move on; or is suffering the only thing Adam Taurus can ever bring to those around him?

Jaune had always wanted to go to a school to learn to battle the creatures of Grimm. But as a boy with no huntsmen training, no huntsmen knowledge, and no huntsmen transcripts, he had absolutely no chance of getting into a school like that legally. After scouring the darkest corners of the CCTNet, he finally found a lead. A place called Grimm Academy. Cover art by Seshirukun.

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?

Summer was a widow. Jaune had just lost his partner. When the two met on the island of Patch following the fall of Beacon, neither would have expected that they would get along with each other so quickly and easily. Neither could have imagined that they would find comfort in each other's arms. Strange times made for strange bedfellows, but strange didn't always mean bad.

The night of the dance was supposed to be one they'd remember for the rest of their lives. Easy for those with dates to say. Jaune and Ruby found themselves alone yet together at the punch bowl, neither having a great time. Deciding to ditch the party in order to have one of their own, the pair of dorks headed down to Vale for what would indeed be a night they'd never forget.

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 wasn't expecting to get a cryptic text so early in the morning. Ruby wasn't planning to send said message. Neither of them saw what happened on the cliffside coming.

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

It started out so promising. Ruby found a best friend turned boyfriend. Yang was happy her baby sister had made a new friend and more. Weiss was happy to have someone else as a target of Ruby's energy. And Blake was able to enjoy some peace and quiet to read her books. It had been perfect. So why did the three feel the need to break the lovers up now? Cover art by RottenCustard.

Jaune was only worried about two things in life; graduating from high school and dodging his hated bully. He didn't care about the supernatural, nor believe in it. But a chance encounter with a mysterious girl in red will open his eyes to a world that lives beside our own, a dangerous and deadly secret. But beware, child, for eyes once opened to the truth may never again be closed.

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.

He hadn't gone to combat school; he hadn't even taken an entrance exam. But Jaune Arc figured if he could at least make it past Beacon Academy's initiation, then he might just have what it takes to become a huntsman. And in a sense... he's right. The little training he received from his sister may just be enough.

Ten years after the end of the Grimm War, Jaune Arc has disappeared from the public face of Remnant. Now, he lives a simple life, farming away at the edge of civilization, content to live the rest of his days in peace. But the world still needs heroes, and heroes need teachers, and his life will become much less peaceful when an old friend stops by for a visit. (Two-Shot)

After saving Argus, Ruby was only expected to kick back and get the rest she deserved, but the hero of the hour is left with a bad taste and insecurities, brought to the surface by her silver eye trigger. Unable to sleep on it, she seeks out her boyfriend for some cheering up and some of that Arc wisdom. Who better to remind you how awesome you are than your fellow dork?

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…

This is a slow Arc-Rose (Lancaster) romantic work in progress, I will try to make it interesting. This should be fun. Rated M for violence and maybe some other things. Before the fall of Beacon. Will carry on after fall of Beacon. RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth in Austin, Texas. ENJOY!

Ruby Rose was an angry girl whose beautiful silver eyes could make anyone run in fear. Jaune Arc was an awkward dork who got bullied everyday of his life. On paper these two seem like complete opposites, but one thing these two have in common, is that they're both incredibly lonely. (High School AU)

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?

Jaune and Ruby have been parents for about a year. And Jaune is putting his foot down. It is time to put his foot down and help Ruby become a mature adult. And when Blake and Sun visit for the holidays, Sun seeks aid from the pair and Jaune is all too eager to help. A more wholesome sequel to Just Act Casually and Just Act Maturely.

One day, a young student of Signal Academy receives a package from home, containing the journal of a long dead relative. But what is Jaune Arc going to do with said journal, and how will it change not only his world, but that of those around him?

Cute. Adorable. Innocent. These were the words Ruby had heard all her life. But she was so much more than these! She was a woman now, and she was determined to prove it! And what better way to do so than by spending a nice weekend alone with her boyfriend? She would show him just how sexy she could be. Cover art by Imyoshi.

When Jaune was rejected by Weiss again, Ruby decided to take him under her wing in order to win over the heart of his crush. After all, who would be better to teach him about Weiss' interests and desires than her own partner? All they needed to do was go out on a date together. For research purposes.

Ruby wakes up to find that the spirit of Pyrrha is inside of her head. Now she has to figure out if she's crazy while dealing with a very polite ghost that wants to get with the still very much alive Jaune Arc. And all she wants to do is read comics. And save the world.

In love, sometimes it's the things you don't say that matter the most. Separated by more than just a continent, Yang sends an email to her former partner when she doesn't know where else to turn. Modern AU, co-authored by ElfenLied1012.

AU. In a world where humanity is on the brink of extinction in the face of the Grimm, the kingdom of Vale has resorted to arranged marriages between its strongest citizens, hoping against hope that a miracle hero will be born. In a romance initiated without free choice, is it even possible to find happiness? Lancaster

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.

Jaune Arc has been wandering the world for over a century looking for his Rose. Deciding to go to Beacon he finds the woman that has given her soul to him. His Rose. (Credit Due to Scotch Writer. He helps me do writing things.)

Once upon a time, 12 fanfic writers met, wrote a fanfic, and became Legion205! Join RWBY and JNPR. Eight college students, one dormitory flat, and a world of insanity. Hold onto your butts, it's one wild ride, and it's not your typical college AU. It's even better! Written by some of your favorite idiots!

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.

Spiritual successor to "Distorted Mirror Images". Ruby and Jaune go missing, and their friends spend the morning looking for them. But Spoilers! They find their missing leaders, only...they find more then they bargain for. T for suggestive content and adult situations. #DorkKnight4life

After a grueling night with the Nuckelavee, Team RNJR spends the night in Kuroyuri to rest and recover. Little do they know there won't be much of either in this place...

Jaune was stuck in a rut, working a dead-end job and still trying to figure out what he wanted in life. Pyrrha was moving temporarily to Vale to do some promotional work for the Schnee Company, but also to escape the celebrity status she had attained in Mistral. The two have been friends for years, but are only now meeting in person for the first time. Arkos. Online friendship AU.

What if Pyrrha's spear didn't hold Jaune long enough for her to get there? What if he'd been found by a certain crimsonette instead? And what if... her unlocking his Aura gave him a totally different Semblance altogether? ...Well, Jaune goes viral. [Semi-canon AU, and cuz I keep getting told to try it (and I kinda like it) ...also a Lancaster fic.]

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!

In a world that exists with those who have 'aura', comes a power located deep within one's soul known as a 'semblance'. There are legends and heroes that have such things called semblances, along with every living individual having the ability to have and use their semblance. However, as impossible as it is... there is one certain person that doesn't have such a thing.

We all love lemons. Hate lemon, pity lemon, friendship lemon, thank lemon, drunk lemon, CRACK lemon, or just the simple vanilla. However, how our brave... Couple deals with their relationship after a steamy night by the dawn of the next day? jaune X Harem/ NO lemons, T just to be safe.

After the Battle of Haven, relaxation is the one thing on the mind. But while everyone is celebrating victory, our favorite dorks are wallowing in nostalgia and self-pity at their lackluster performance in battle. In moments of weakness, it's good to know that there's someone slumming it with you. Ruby thinks she failed. Jaune thinks its time for slumming it with some old memories.

With a hole in his heart as big as his shield, Ruby sees Jaune falling further and further into a pit of despair that she fears that consume him. She does her best to comfort him and try to help him through these hard times, and being so close to him during this time, she couldn't help but to think her need to help her friend became something more.

They say friendships are built on trust, and mutual care for each other, and that friendship cannot be broken. But what if they could? What if, a secret leads to broken friendships? Can it be repaired? Bit of a different take on the end of Jaundice part Also a bit of OOC

After a tragedy in the family, Jaune's parents decide that a huntsman's life isn't for him. However, he has already made up his mind to follow his dream and become a hero. An ability that turns his life into a video game doesn't hurt either. The Gamer!Jaune. First fic so I'm open to criticism. Also, Gamer comes in chapter 2.

Jaune Arc didn't know what to think when he got paired with Yang Xiao Long as her roommate. Granted, he didn't know what to think when he found out how loud she could be at night. Still, he was an adaptable guy and took it all in stride. So now why is it that she keeps stealing his jacket? And why does she hide in wait on his bed and beg him to have some fun?

Fifteen-year-old Jaune Arc half-expected his forged transcripts to not get him as far as Signal Academy, but somehow they had. What he hadn't expected was that walking into a certain Dust shop and bumping into a certain girl one night would get him even further than he'd hoped — or wanted. (Age-shift AU, Lancaster)

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

It's been one year since Ruby and Jaune hooked up. Now on the verge of new horizons they have to grow up and convince their closest friends to do the same. Sequel to Just Act Casually so cursing and pervy humor are a big part.

When Jaune loses the use of his legs he is faced with the reality that his future dreams of being a Huntsmen may have gone with them. However, Ruby isn't prepared to let him give up as this begins to put a strain on their budding relationship.

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.

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!

Jaune and Ruby have been dating for a while now, and things have gotten pretty serious. They haven't told anyone for fear of how they would react, Yang especially. But their relationship is getting harder and harder to hide. (Rated M for lemon)

The romance of Jaune and Ruby, following them as they continue to grow. Will have both angsty and comedic elements.

It was said that the Monkey King was above all under the heavens. Rebellious yet noble, Strong but mischievous. Yet for all his strength, the one thing he desired most was the one thing no one would give. Acceptance. And maybe the love and attention of a certain raven-haired, cool beauty. Black Sun pairing. Alternate retelling of events starting from the ending of Vol 1.

A very sexually frustrated Jaune arc battles a loosing fight between his once strong morals Vs his hormonal teenage lust for anything in a skirt an ends up giving into the sinful temptations around him, no matter how innocent they are. It's okay, it's just a game

High School is hard. Its even harder when your parents aren't there to help you through it. But what if you had a Rose? (Because they asked (More like demanded but i love them even if they are mean and yell at me) Credit due to Meteorite Creature(Remnants of Past Memories) for helping me do writer things. If any of you like the graveyard scene then they helped me write that a lot.)

Ruby and Jaune have been best friends for six years. Now they are in a bind so Jaune agrees to move into Ruby's two bedroom apartment. From there, they just act casually as life throws curve balls. AU where things went smoothly at Beacon.

Jaune felt pretty damn good about finally defeating Cinder, which might of been why he forgot she was a sore loser. In a blast of Maiden power, he's suddenly a decade in the past. No, the fact that Cinder and the White Fang are still alive and kicking doesn't worry him, he can handle them. He's worried about how he can watch 17 year old Jaune Arc and not strangle himself...

As Team RNJR try to find help for the injured, they continue to come to terms with the Fall of Beacon, but they are not the only ones regreting past tradegies. [RWBY VOLUME 4 SPOILERS] Written with vaguely platonic Lancaster (Ruby x Jaune) INSPIRED A COMIC SEEN ON PINTREST, SEE AO3 FOR LINK

Five times Jaune Arc found himself wrapped up in Ruby Rose's iconic cloak, and each time he was more grateful for it than the last. At least he was until the last time when he realized there was something better than having a rose-colored article of clothing draped around your shoulders when you're feeling down.

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

Jaune Arc never had a chance in hell with girls, hunting, or academics. But when an angel of love pops into your life and says: "Get a girlfriend in two weeks or else", you realize your priorities in life change. Turns out, that angel of love turned his life into a dating sim visual novel, whether he knows it or not. Time to find a girl. (There's gonna be smut eventually.)

Ruby Rose and Jaune Arc keeps looping back to the beginning of their first year in Beacon. Usually, such a story is rife with melodrama, the dealing with loss and tragedy, and the meaning of destiny itself. These time travelers are out to save the world! Well, sure, if it wasn't for the fact that they look downright stupid or insane to everyone else.

"Are you even listen…ing?" She trailed off. An older Ruby stared at her surroundings, her jaw unhinging itself when she realized where she was. This was definitely not their room…and these teeny boppers were definitely, not her girlfriend. Whiterose. [Complete]

When Jaune and Ruby are trapped under snow during a mission to retrieve an Atlas project, the project just so happens to spawn the awkward leaders a little surprise...

Jaune and Ruby don't understand their teammates. The two of them are just friends! Nothing more! So what if they feed each other? Nora and Yang do it. So what if Jaune loans her his hoodie after their nightly walks? Nights are getting colder. So what if they like making out with each other? They're just good friends. The best of friends.

As Ruby prepares for the journey to Haven, she finds her old treasure box and with it, childhood memories long forgotten. And from these memories, a deeper connection to one of her closest friends.

When Jaune Arc is feeling like the world is overwhelming him, a certain red-hooded girl comes to lend a hand- and possibly a heart. -Some Jaune x Ruby (Lancaster) friendship! And romance? Time will tell! Updates whenever another chapter gets done; Rated T for some language and romantic themes in the future maybe? (Begins at the end of Volume 1)

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.

After an accident, Yang is left with an extreme case of amnesia. Not knowing anything, Yang is left confused, surrounded by people who know her so well, but she knows nothing about them. Canon divergent. Bumbleby

After the narrowly-avoided massacre involving Mt. Glenn and Roman, Team RWBY find themselves returning home after a long day's work for a well earned rest. While aura certainly healed their bodies rapidly, the same can't be said for the mind. Realizing that life as a huntress could end any day, Ruby sets out to get her first date, and she knows just the Knight. By Fate and Prick.

Ruby Rose a young girl admitted into the prestigious Beacon Academy two years ahead of time due to her awesome combat ability and infamously dangerous weapon. Jaune Arc, a bumling young man who seems out of place among all of the great warriors in this school for combat geniuses. How will these two socially awkward teen Hunters interact? Rose Arc shipping.

The world is in shambles, a virus transforms it's populous into snarling monstrosities, leaving so many families without a home or their siblings.

But hey, how much trouble could an unsigned love letter cause in a school of pubescent teenagers armed to the teeth with deadly gear and super powers? ...Actually don't-just don't.
