It's been 2 years since the Vytal Festival "Incident" and Yang Xiao long has become a much different woman; a criminal. She has evaded capture for years but now a chance meeting will bring her back into contact with her old team. [rated M for some violent imagery and sexual references, blood and boobs]

A year. A whole year in the lab, mixing dust and building her machine. A machine that could bend time. And Ruby decided to test it on herself. What she found on the other side was something she wasn't ever expecting to find out. Her mother.

Ruby wasn't prepared to enter Beacon two years early. She especially wasn't prepared to be a leader. Now she has to try for her team but it's not that easy when Weiss can't stand her and Yang treats her like a child. Thankfully she has people she can count on as she tries to become the leader her team needs and maybe she'll find love along the way.

Five years since the Fall, the world continues to descend into darkness. The Second Great War is reaching its climax in the heart of Mistral. Ruby is struggling with her inner demons. Weiss is being used as a tool for a cause not her own. Blake and Yang continue to try and fix themselves while dancing around their past. (Sequel to How Could You be My Enemy)

In life, we're presented with moments where we can grow - opportunities where we can succeed - paths we can take which will lead us to love, glory, and happiness. But what happens when our hopes and dreams don't match up with what the world demands of us? What happens when we're forced to take a different path...one we never imagined for ourselves to begin with?

When Ruby finally defeat Salem she doesn't know what else to do. There is nothing left of her groups of friends and family, but when she is dying she only had two wishes. One someone to take care of Crescent Rose when she die and two to have a second chance and fix everything. Adult Ruby! Time-travel AU! No-pairing other than canon. Credits image goes to Neverominin (DeviantArt)

It was an accident. There was no doubt about that. But when Ruby killed Neo after a failed assassination attempt she is plagued by nightmares, the result of her guilty conscience eating her alive. She's a killer. A murderer. Nothing like the hero she set out to be. Tormented by memories of that fateful night, she turns to her friends for comfort, lest she be forever haunted.

Ruby Rose is an extremely talented young doctor, however, her practice puts her in the unique position of being the most skilled black market doctor around. Working off the books from her top quality clinic in the slums of Vale she'll treat anyone as long as they can pay. Though she works with unsavory people, she uses her position to do a lot of good.

A mission goes south when critical information isn't told to their team leader. The fallout has lead to a broken team and a broken leader. There is nothing left to do but live with the memories and the guilt. One-shot

Ruby and Jaune are there for each other after their unfortunate firsts.

The six years following the Battle of Beacon have not been kind to the disparate former members of Team RWBY. But now Ozpin needs some people with a particular skillset, people who will not quail at getting their hands dirty, or bloody for that matter. And he has an offer for the four disjointed former Huntresses-in-training that they simply cannot refuse. (Complete/Abandoned.)

RW3Y, the amazing art by Dishwasher1910 who has given me permission to write this, after the Salem Crisis RWBY went a many myriad of directions with their lives, but maintained close ties with each other and their friends. This is their story, their continuation, the end to their fairytale. Disclaimer, RWBY belongs to Roosterteeth and Monty Oum, may he rest in peace.

This is a story of recovery, of the long, hard road that people who have suffered truly grievous injuries have to travel before they are well again. Ruby was terribly hurt when she sacrificed herself to save Weiss, and is now trying to cope with her losses as well as come to terms with what remains of her future. But she does not walk this road alone! Based on Funblade's Future AU

One mistake. That's all it took for a once bright, innocent and simple soul to become torn and tortured. Now, the once simple soul is wrong. The young girl in red once filled with such vibrant energy and life is now cold and hollow. Hated and feared by those she loved, she decides not to walk the path of a hero. Instead, she walks her own, and in her wake, leaves naught but madness

In which Weiss accidently causes an inter-dimensional accident leading to hysterical hijinks by less than sane time-traveling, dimensional-jumping members of the RWBY cast, including but not limited to: jumping out of windows, flipping tables (literally and figuratively), and not-so-nice letters to Overlord Salem. Yes, you heard all of that right. (Time-Travel, AU,) Discontinued.

Ruby is born with an unusual and dangerous power: the power to summon Grimm. Sheltered, shy, and carefully watched, Ruby is suddenly invited to join Beacon Academy. With the awful potential her power carries and a disturbing deformity that could out her to her peers, Ruby is tested in protecting the humanity of Remnant while keeping a dangerous secret. - AU, sorta follows canon.

Elsa and Anna were pretty close as they grew up, but upon reaching teenage and adolescence, a crack opens within them; Anna promised they would always be together, but she still wants to marry some handsome prince who would take her away. It doesn't help either that there is a plot in town to kill the crown princess. Evil!Elsa. One-sided Elsanna. Major character death.

Weiss Schnee is the heiress of the Schnee Company, loved and adored by many and the school's honor student. Although she had a rough childhood she has a golden heart and not once has she fallen in love with anyone. Rouvin Rose on the other had is the punk goth, delinquent who everyone avoids, except for his sister Yang.

The story takes place before the Monster Bash, Marco is slowly and painfully piecing together how his reappearance to Mewni has destroyed his life back on Earth and while his sojourn has been a miserable experience. Is there no place for Marco Diaz anymore?

I used to have everything. Money, fame, a bright and promising future. But it was all fake, a role handed to me by my father. One I refused to play any longer. Now all I have is a demonic partner and a newfound purpose in life: I will cleanse Remnant to fit by my judgment. And Atlas will be first. Vengeful!Weiss and Demon!Ruby is on a quest.

Jason Goodwitch is a 3rd year Beacon student and the only son of the one and only Glynda Goodwitch. Team RWBY begins the search for Roman but the fight on the Highway has some dark consequences! Tragedy has a way of hitting you upside the head. But how do you respond to it?

Moon and Eclipsa have a chat. Now a twoshot, Part two: Moon and Star have a chat.

One night. One question. And a lifetime's worth of regret.

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.

Tragedy leads to a fall from grace. A sister is lost and another loses her way. Innocence is corrupted. Friends and lovers try to pick up the pieces left behind. Dark days dawn in the wake of sorrow. My second published work and an attempt at a darker story. Some gore, but nothing too excessive.

For Ruby life has never been the fairy tale she always dreamed it would be. The twist and turns her path has taken lead her down a dark road she never imagined was possible, but when an opportunity arises to change everything, to fix all the mistakes, she makes sure to try and make the best of it. No matter what the cost. AU: Dark themes ahead

Neo still remembers the last thing that Roman Torchwick taught her. Even as she was ripped away from him, he was still teaching and guiding. It was a lesson she would remember for the rest of her life. Death is easy, living is hard. Winner of r/RWBY Moncon for May. Character of Neo and theme of revenge

RWBY AU. At the flip of a coin, good can become evil... Right can become wrong... Light can turn to dark... And the mightiest of heroes... can become the greatest of villains... (Discontinued)

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 RWBY Volume 2, Team RWBY is back for their second semester and have more than just school work to deal with. The White Fang are growing in numbers, Roman Torchwick has a city running scared, and one woman is playing a deadly chess game where the winner watches the world burn. Can a team of first years led by a 15 year old prodigy stop them before only ashes remain?

Ruby Rose has seen many years as a huntress, suffered much and lost even more.

An AU in a Remnant that expands and extrapolates off of the Remnant of the series, going beyond the glossy cover. A dangerous and experienced Team RWBY make their way in this more world. Character-driven, this story focuses on exploring the characters by extrapolating their traits and attributes from the show. Action, romance, drama and plenty of intrigue. No grim-derp or OOC!

We go about our lives, never lingering on the negative. We arrogantly assume that we all will have a 'happily ever after' ending. We never once believe our happiness will ever be in question. However, happy endings are for fairy tales, and this is anything but. Freezerburn/WhiteRose. Sequel to Forbidden Flame.

Team RWBY, a legend, the ones held to a gold standard. But even the mighty suffer loses. Read along for the buildup of how they lost someone, and how they dealt with it. Rated M for the eventual darkness that'll appear. Angst comes somewhat later on in the story.

Life is a fragile thing, and death comes to all with time. But even as we pass, what becomes of those we leave behind? Major character death warning. Death-fic collection. Chapters are stand-alone. No pairings.
