Jaune More MC Ruby?
Ruby: That’s why I’m the MC and you're the side character.
Jaune: So because you have silver eyes you’re special?
Ruby: Yep.
Jaune: Even though I cheated Beacon.
Ruby: Yep.
Jaune: I was bullied.
Ruby: Yep.
Jaune: My partner is dead. And because I let my guard down, Ozpin died, and Oscar had no choice but to come on this journey. You know,  because of me.
Ruby: Yep.
Jaune: And because Cinder, who works under Salem killed my partner, I have beef with the main villain and her whole crew.
Ruby: Yeah.
Jaune: Salem, who I have way more in common with than most people, the deemed goddess I’m defying her, just like she did with the brothers over a loved one's death. Are you following me so far?
Ruby: … Yeah…
Jaune: Hazel, who mind you, lost his sister. He lost his sister because of the world Ozpin had created, like I did, with Pyrrha.
Qrow: She had a choice.
Jaune: A few days' choice which turned into minutes when Beacon was attacked. Then discovering how bad the situation is, you know with Salem being immortal, I almost hurt if not killed Oscar, making me at the spur of the moment,  just as bad as Hazel. And mind you I was willing to fight you on that.
Ruby: Uh… yeah…
Jaune: Tyrian, has the opposite to my semblance. Wasn’t he more interested in me than you? And you were his target.
Ruby: Mmhmm.
Jaune: Let’s talk about Cinder again. Cinder had two stray kids who followed her. I have Ren and Nora. Neither have parents. Also, we both want power but for different reasons. We even have different views on destiny.
Ruby: Oh damn.
Jaune: Atlas. Oscar did Ironwood not act like how I did in Argus but worse?
Oscar: Yeah he did. Jaune even saw Salem in person before you did.
Yang: So did we. You saw her face to face.
Oscar: I’m Ozpin. What is that supposed to mean?
Ruby: Oscar, not helping.
Jaune: Neo. We both lost our partners. The difference is that I have friends while she has none. The cat, him, and I almost have the same ability except he manipulates your soul or takes it. He might as well have been a devil version of me.
Weiss: O. Dear lord.
Jaune: Watts. … … … You know what no. He-he was no. Like he could have done better, he’s an example of being smart yet making the dumbest choices. 
Weiss: True.
In the Twilight
Watts: What?! My decision was understandable.
Ironwood: No. No, they were not.
Penny: Like you could have logically put your two weeks in and left for another kingdom. Or country. Like Vale. Mistral. Anywhere. You could have helped where you could've been needed. Which would have made you better than my father.
Watts: I wasted my life.
Back to Remnant 
Ruby: Um….
Jaune: You know what I have to ask this question. What is the moral of the story and how does your character fit into this?
Ruby: Well my-
Jaune: Let me retort. I lied. I was bullied. I had no idea about anything in the hunting world. I needed a teacher. I lost someone important to me. I have beef with the main villains. I train to get stronger to be of use to others.
Ruby: So?
Jaune: Okay. No one believed in me. But I still went to chase my goal. I lost the best thing in my life. I still moved forward. I had to kill someone. Still moved forward. I’m an old man trapped in a boy's body. Still moving forward. Fighting the odds that are stacked against me. I have seven who no one knows about. Yet your family is more interesting.
Ruby: Your point?
Jaune: The moral of the story is that no matter your circumstance you can always be better. Never allow destiny or grief to influence your entire life. No matter what odds that stand before you,  you can ultimately change your fate. And no matter the darkness a simple soul can light up the night and unite everyone against a greater evil. Even when the whole world is against you, you are never alone to endure it. If we stand united and look past our differences only then the wor;d would be a better place.
Ruby: Well my mom died at Salem’s hands.
Jaune: And?
Ruby: It's still relevant.
Jaune: You're right. But how many times has your mother been mentioned and you bothered to get information about her?
Yang: I-
Jaune: Bitch shut the fuck up. You were looking for the deadbeat mom more than the mom who stepped up.
Ruby: Well um… um…. Damn. Oh, but I-
Jaune: You weren’t the sword. I may not have known Penny as long as you, but the fact, that I could've saved her proved her death hit harder than Pyrrha's. I’m close to walking in Raven’s path.
Ruby: Shit.
Jaune: And back to your mother. She was a silver-eyed warrior. But Salem is still here. Do silver eyes work on her?
Ruby: Um.
Jaune: Because Salem is still both the brothers' creation. The old humanity. She can't be phased by the black liquid even though everything they touch decays. 
Ruby: She's immortal.
Jaune: Yeah but again when Maria told you her story didn't she try using her silver eyes on humans and it didn't work? 
Ruby: Cinder.
Jaune: Grimm arm.
Ruby: The hound. 
Blake: Silver-eyed person too but only stunned them.
Ruby: Blake.
Blake: What a minute he had animalistic ears. Should I be concerned for my people?
Jaune: Yeah… we’re not getting into that. The point is if you go see Salem and your silver eyes don't work then your mom died for nothing.
Ruby: Oo. Um…
Jaune: And let's get back to the other villains. Besides Emerald, Mercury, and Tyrian, some of them have valid reasons to join Salem. 
Ren: Jaune!
Jaune: Ren, your village got destroyed.
Ren: Nevermind.
Me: Hold up. Let me start. With Cinder, a huntsman saw what she was going through and didn't bother to help her. She was alone. The world abandoned her.  
Jaune: So Hazel was right. In fact, Raven had a point.
Oscar(Ozpin): Mr. Arc I-
Jaune: Motherfucker Hazel had every right to be angry. Dude shadow missions involve us going with experienced hunters. Yet his sister died and Ruby could’ve died. Shadowing them. Following their lead. Does that not show how bad the hunting system is? Not just that we got hunters who died in the line of duty. Not to mention how some were sexually harassing the girls.  And some of them are just plain crazy or assholes. Not to mention Blake, Qrow, and Raven. You let them in. And to make matters worse you chose Pyrrha, a first-year student, to be your maiden.
Oscar(Ozpin): She was my best option. 
Jaune: So Glynda wasn't on the table? A high-ranked fourth-year student wasn't on the table? Man, at least you could have chosen Ruby considering she has silver eyes and is a young upcoming prodigy. That would have made her more important. Like Ozpin Ruby off the bat was better than Pyrrha.
Qrow: Hey, I would have stopped that.
Jaune: O, so… it was okay with Pyrrha… but not your niece. I see. Hypocrite.
Qrow: Damn. Set myself up for that.
Jaune: Watts, despite his stupidity, had a point. James would abuse any source of technology just to have some level of control over something. Why did you think he wanted your sister instead of Penny? Why do you think he wanted Amity up as quickly as possible? Why do you think he hacked into Penny? Everything was always about control.
Weiss: Well our lives weren't easy.
Jaune: That I won't deny. Yet we are all still bad people.
Yang: Jaune my mother -
Jaune: Raven and Summer left you. Summer no one cared enough to talk about. Raven doesn't matter at all. Willow waited until her children were teenagers or young adults to start dealing with an abusive father. And Kali… yeah she should have slapped some sense into her daughter. 
Weiss: Well your mom doesn't love you.
Jaune: Don't care. Back to Jacque though how does he and James know each other? Why do they have beef with one another? Unless… o. Oh no. Don't tell me. Did James set Jacque up with Willow? And in return, he helps James rise to power. Or did James love Willow but because of his career he couldn't marry her? Could Winter be-
Weiss: Please stop. I do not need those theories in my head.
Jaune: Fine. The point I'm trying to make is… … well how about you explain.
Me: It's crazy how Jaune fits the main character role better than Ruby.

*clears throat* WHITE ROSE HASNT HAPPENED BECAUSE THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT DOOMED ENOUGH
The most consistent thing about RWBY is that in order to be in a romantic relationship the relationship MUST be doomed explicitly
Jaune and Pyrrha only kiss after she knows she’s ABOUT TO DIE
Ren and Nora only get to kiss during an argument where ren slightly expresses his paranoia and reasons he refuses to be with her, then he immediately gets proven right and then Nora gets almost electrocuted to death
The only reason clover and qrow get to flirt for essentially EVERY scene they have together is that they’re EXPLICITLY doomed (it’s about how their individual relationships with luck have led them to be intensely loyal to authority. Qrow in a sense of gratitude, clover in a sense of privilege. they’re both the best huntsman of where they were and most trusted warriors of their leaders. however qrows life has had his team fall apart and has gotten the appropriate amount of disillusionment from ozpins lies. This is what saves him. But clover has been left to be doomed to death because he cannot believe a system he was built for could be anything but inherently correct. Qrows misfortune had saved him clovers luck killed him. And despite how hard anyone could’ve tried their was never anything that could have saved him from being gods most perfect soldier. Or idk something like that I don’t think about them enough)
Tai summer and raven. Raven was always going to leave to go back to her tribe. Summer was always going to be murdered by Salem. Tai was always going to be left. They all knew they all probably tried to deny it. They all walked backwards into their own narrative. Their ship name is apparently str crossed lovers. Which is genius.
Ruby and penny got their whole thing because penny died TWICE and now she’s permanently haunting ruby’s lil narrative so good for her
and that’s why chronic runaway and abandonment issues personified are CANNON SOULMATES (I could go on several rants I adore them)
So yeah if you want them to be cannon they just have to be more doomed but it’s kinda hard for that cause they had a little reversed doomed situation where they’re relationship was always going to get better because they were kinda enemies at first
Anyway good luck to whiterose shippers I wish you all a very happy only team partners that haven’t kissed yet

Jaune’s New Mentor
Grimm!Pyrrha: *wraps an black-skinned arm around Jaune and pinches his butt* 😘
Jaune: Ah…! Pyrrha, please! Everyone’s watching! Save that for later tonight! 😅
Yang: *under her breath* Am I the only one wondering how Jaune’s okay having sex with Pyrrha when she’s like…that?
Blake: *whispering* No, no…I’ve been struggling with it for weeks now!
Nora: *hissing* Ren and I are in the room beside them and we can’t figure it out!
Ren: I love them both, but I just don’t understand how Jaune can…rise to the occasion with Pyrrha’s Grimm half touching him like that…
Several weeks earlier…
Jaune: *sitting in a classroom taking notes*
Taiyang: *standing in front of a chalkboard* Hello everyone, welcome to “Non-Traditional Lovemaking, Getting Your Freak On with the Freaky!”
Taiyang: Lesson one: Fun with Fangs!

Have you ever feel that Jaune got to much focus? I mean he's called a main charater (for better or worse) in a show called RWBY. About Team RWBY. It's just looking at both sides as much as I like Jaune maybe their was or still is to much focus on him.
Hardly.
Tell me something. Did Sasuke get too much focus in a show called Naruto? Did Knuckles get too much attention in the show Sonic X? What about Harry Potter? One Punch Man? Hey Arnold?
The Jaune "getting too much focus because the show is called RWBY" is the saddest, weakest excuse ever uttered. Jaune is a main character, along with Ren and Nora, who, need I remind you all, got plenty of love and attention despite not being "Team RWBY"?
Now, does the FNDM give him too much attention? My second favorite tag on this hiellsite is "jaune arc," AFTER "rwby," agrees with this statement, and to be honest, I don't think that's a problem with the show's writing as much as it is with the audience's reception of him.
There being "too much focus" on Jaune is only in comparison to the weaker writing for the "main characters" because the show puts more effort into the action and the plot than into the development of the core cast of Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang.
Ruby has silver eyes and is supposed to be the hero who saves the world, but it wasn't until Volume 9 that she really got a solid win for her character.
Weiss comes back home in Volume 7 and her biggest character moment is when she's stopping her father's escape. Then... nothing.
Blake and Yang are by far the worst because their characters are now wholly reliant on each other. And before that, Yang's character was reliant on Ruby while Blake's character relied on the White Fang plot, which ended in Volume 5, and Adam, who died in Volume 6.
But what about Jaune's character? Well, let's see; Jaune was the loser everyman character who acted as the foil to the prodigal child of destiny that was Ruby Rose. His partner, Pyrrha "Invincible Girl" Nikos, takes him under her wing and trains him as her mentor. She then dies, leaving him to train and grow on his own despite his team being there, whereas Ruby loses her entire team and gets their help to accomplish reaching Mistral.
...Typing this out, yeah, I would say Jaune got more thought and effort put into his story and character development, but I don't think it's "too much". If anything, I'd say the issue is RWBY didn't get enough. All we got for them were flashy moves and kicks and bruises, but it's all shallow, surface-level development. Looking back, I see RWBY as the same people as they were at Beacon, while Jaune has completely changed since his initial appearance.
And again, that's not Jaune getting too much attention. It's just RWBY never really grew up right.

Neo smirked at her handiwork, and now once Ruby gets here, she can despair at her Lil blonde friends death... before she ends Ruby for good. Speaking of death, it was time to kill him.
She walked over, hush in hand, and as the blonde knight just sat on his knees looking at the floor, there was no light in his blue eyes.
She smiled cruelly and raised to stab him behind the back - only to be hit by a small bolt of lightning, which sent her flying back.
Jaune wasn't even phased as suddenly C.C. appeared before him in his vision.
C.C: Oh Jaune, you've been through so much.
Jaune: ...
C.C: It's hard trying to do the right thing...having to live with the guilt and pain.
Jaune visibly recoiled as Penny's face flashed before his eyes...he could make the difficult decision...to do that, but..
C.C: How many more dead friends do you want on your hands? First, it was Penny... but then it could be anyone from Team RWBY or any of your other friends you've told me about.
Jaune's blank eyes widened. He didn't want that...he couldn't ever live with the fact that he could possibly get Nora, Oscar, or Ren, Blake, Yang, Weiss, or Ruby killed by his foolishness.
???: It's no use, Jaune... you've had a good run.
Jaune felt the air leave his lungs.
He moved his head to the side, and he wasn't sure if it was Neo or his mind playing tricks on him but their staring at him with an ARROW still lodged in her chest...was his partner Pyrrha.
Pyrrha: It's time to finally admit that this was too big of a task for someone like yourself...it's time to stop and let someone else take over, like Ozpin...I'm sure he'll lead Nora and Ren to safety.
Jaune swallowed the lump in his threat as he felt Pyrrha lay a head on his shoulder.
Pyrrha: You did good, Jaune, but good only gets you so far.
Jaune felt tears sting his eyes.
She's right.
He was in over his head. His weakness cost him Pyrrha, and now Penny...who else was next? He...he didn't want that anymore.
He didn't want to be this anymore.
Being Jaune only leads to disappointment, suffering, and pain.
He...he didn't want to be Jaune anymore.
C.C: Your poor rusted broken hollow heart can only take so much...
C.C. climbed up Jaune's chest, laying a paw on where his heart would be.
C.C: Every difficult decision you've ever made...led to here Jaune, it led you to me, my hero.
C.C: I can fill that broken heart...I can mend the cracks in your soul.
Neo recovered from the blind side and looked at Jaune in anger. She ran with hush at the ready, poised for the kill.
C.C: Let me be...
Pyrrha: Let them be...
Jaune raised both his arms, encircling around the cat.
Neo was upon him. Hush held high. Ready for the kill.
C.C/Pyrrha: Your everything!
Jaune embraced the cat as he felt as shift happen.
Ruby: Jaune!
Team RWBY had just managed to arrive just in time as Weiss eyes widened in horror. The image of Jaune's body being taken over by the cat was on that was sure to haunt her in her nightmares.
As for Neo, the letter stepped back, looking on in gross horror at the action happening before her.
And as quick as it started...it was over.
For a brief moment, you could hear a pin drop before suddenly Jaune rose from his knees and stretched the movement almost akin to that of cat.
CCJaune: Ah, Team RWBY, you finally made it.
CCJaune began to giggle as he felt himself all over.
CCJaune: This is amazing, I always knew he was strong, but I could never imagine this ~
He felt a click of shoes behind him as he side stepped out of the way and caught Neo by the arm.
CCJaune: I must give my thanks to you...with out all this *points to the whole tea party* I wouldn't have acquired this~ *pats himself down*
CCJaune: So as a token of my thanks~
Team RWBY watched in shock as Crocea Mors sliced straight through Neo's aura before lodging into her chest , The criminal looked on as if not able to comprehend what happened, as a boot found her chest and CCJaune kicked her off his blade and then kicked her body to Team RWBY.
CCJaune: You're welcome, Ruby~
Ruby looked at the dying body of Neo, and than back to Jaune.
CCJaune: Hehehe~ oh yes, my Rusted Knight, I knew you'd do very well.
And then he turned his back to Team RWBY.
Weiss: Stop!
CCJaune: Hmm?
Yang: Release Jaune right now!
CCJaune: Release him? Back unto you all? No, thank you.
CCJaune: Besides... he gave himself to me, the only one who truly cares about him, willingly.
Ruby: No-no, he-he wouldn't do that...
CCJaune: Oh, I beg to differ. Everything he had been through was just too much for his poor heart to bear, but poor you right, Ruby?
Ruby couldn't say anything as she rememebr her last conversation with Jaune and how disastrous that was.
CCJaune: Well, as much as I loved to talk about who's right and who's wrong... I have a date with destiny...so...bye!
And in a flash of lights, CCJaune disappeared from their view, a trail that led to the tree was all that they could see as Ruby could only sink to her knees and scream.
Ruby: Jaune!

Cat Girls Vs Bunny Girls
Jaune was in his room playing video game then he noticed that his water bottle was empty so he left his room into the kitchen until he saw weiss and blake wearing maid clothes using some accessories like fake ears or fake tails.
Weiss: Welcome to the cat cafe of hunters! Meow~
Blake: What would you like to order master?~
Jaune blushed seeing the two dressed up and without noticing he was pushed slightly by one of the glyphs of weiss making him sit down. The two noticing this approached him with a smile on their faces.
Jaune: Woah you two look amazing and really cute in those costumes but why are you two doing this?
Blake: Well weiss was reading a magazine about this type of coffee and had the idea to make one at home the only problem is that we didn't find any cats here in vacuo.
Weiss approached from behind jaune and bit his ear lightly making him blush extremely and have a slight shiver. Weiss and blake would see that and would have a malicious smile on his face and weiss would speak in jaune's ear.
Weiss: I think we'll suffice, Don't you think so jaune? Meow~
Blake: Dont you wanna pet the cutest creatures of the whole remmant, White eating the sweetest of desserts? Meow~
Jaune's face was completely red because of what Blake and Weiss said and he took a deep breath and looked at the two who were smiling at him.
Jaune: O-okay so i think cats really are the cutest animals in remmant hehe.
Jaune would raise both hands to stroke Weiss and Blake's head until they hear a loud noise coming from the kitchen door and look over to see that it was Velvet and Pyrrha dressed as bunny girls.
Pyrrha: I object!!
Velvet: It's rabbits that are cute, Not cats!
The two pairs look at each other with angry expressions and jaune would be confused until he looks to his right to see ren dressed as a bunny boy.
Jaune: Hey you look handsome you know?
Ren: Thanks jaune.
Jaune would hear a discussion and would look towards the direction of the fight and see the two pairs fighting.
Weiss: No! Cats are cuter than rabbits!
Blake: We are Soft, Fluffy, Cute!
Pyrrha: Not to mention messy, Who like to break furniture and are needy!
Velvet: You got ren over there! just use him instead! Jaune is ours.
Weiss: Nora owns him and you know it!
The two pairs were pulling their weapons until ren called their attention.
Ren: Instead of you fighting and getting hurt, you just don't spend time with jaune, you 4 together with him, he can decide who is the cutest animal is a win-win situation.
The pairs looked at each other after what Ren had said and then looked at Jaune with malicious smiles and jumped on top of him, hugging him and giving some kisses.
Jaune: R-Ren help me!
Ren: I'm sorry jaune but sacrifices are necessary...
When Ren said that he felt a hand on his shoulder and a dark energy coming from behind and he would look seeing that it was nora with hearts in her pupils and her face completely flushed.
Nora: Mama bear likes the bunny she's seeing~

Welcome back, my good mutual. I have an ask for you.
In the spirit of the coming month, can you give us a scenario in which it's the Remnant equivalent of St. Patrick's Day, and the only person not wearing green... is Jaune?
Sweat ran down his brow, his heart raced in his chest. Sapphire eyes dashed from left to right. He was in a hurry, and no one would stop him. He didn't know where or when they'd come for him next! He had to be vigilant, this was what all his training had left up to.
He wouldn't let Pyr down, not again! Then it happened, his ears twitched as he heard a sound around the corner.
"Oooh Jaune~" The voice was sickeningly sweet.
Weiss never used that tone of voice with him, unless she demanded blood. Blood that suddenly curdled in primal fear.
He turned around, nearly falling over as his boots slid across the slick floor. His heart felt as if it would pop any second.
He needed to get to the dorm!
He knew a secret path, or at least a place that no one else would find him.
He heard another voice. "He's over there!" Nora called from the distance, there could be no other with that much energy.
"On it." It was Ren. Why was Ren turning on him so easily?!
He couldn't believe it, his friends were all traitors!
"Arc. I believe this is the end." His fears grew worse, it was Ciel Soleil, from Penny's team. She had somehow gotten before him, her normal calm demeanor coated with something wicked.
He wasn't going to stop in time, there was no way to avoid her. She he didn't bother. He put all his aura before him, and shifted into a shoulder tackle.
She must not have expected this outcome, for she simply moved out of the way to avoid him.
He was grateful that she didn't know him as well as his other friends. Any one close to him would have simply taken him from the bottom and knocked him over.
Eventually he made it through, only to see a flash of sorrow in the corner of his eye. Emerald eyes, followed by brilliant red. His world turned black as he was suddenly pulled aside by an unseen force.
Only to be caught by what he could describe as two soft pillows.
THe sound of the door closed behind him, a loud THUD.
He was trapped.
His world was over, before suddenly feeling a burning sensation on both sides of his waist. "Agh!" He cried out in pain, this was the end for him.
"Really now Jaune, was that so bad?" Pyrrha's voice reached his ears, the tall spartanish girl shook her head at his over dramatics. "This is why I tried to tell you to wear green." One of her hands was currently on his right side.
"Ye...yes! It... you should have just... given up earlier." ON the other was May Zedong from BRNZ. Having teamed up with Pyrrha, the two had managed to capture, and lay him low. Her fingers pinched his other side.
Both girls simply sighed, then giggled as they put a green scarf around his neck.
"Boo! I thought I could last longer." He gave up, falling on his back with dramatic flare.
Today had been the day of green! And he hadn't worn any.
"Too bad you don't have any natural green."
The final voice, Jessica Cruz a new first year here at Beacon, knelt before him, looking down as he rolled his eyes. "But a brave warrior doesn't yield!"
There was a silence, before he started to giggle. Apparently his self challenge failed! He had wanted to see how well he'd gone into training since his first year here at Beacon. But it seemed he was still no match for the stars. That didn't bother him though, because life was good.
"Yes yes, now get up, we can finally go enjoy the buffet, before Nora eats it all." He smiled as Pyrrha extended her hand to lift him up. He really was happy with his life.

Winner Takes All
@lar-mx asked @howlingday -- "dumb idea 2, nora dies for a pancake… she comes back a week later telling jaune that he has to play a poker game against god or else they will both die (in nora's case again), jaune tries to lose but the lady of fortune shouts: (I didn't keep you alive so you would surrender to that bitch (the god of light))."
I'M SO SORRY!!! I CAN'T RESIST!!!
/==/
Jaune stood in the small cemetery that was part of Beacon's grounds. A quiet and peaceful place reserved for those students that didn't have a family to take possession of their remains.
Jaune: *sniffling* Nora, how could you leave us? Ren is just not himself anymore... and Pyrrha has lost her smile... it's just so senseless... a pancake... it shouldn't have...
Nora: JAUNE-JAUNE!
Jaune whips about and sees a slightly pale Nora looking at him with a bright smile.
Jaune: *VERY UNMANLY SCREAM OF TERROR*
Nora: Why is everyone doing that?
Jaune: No... Nora? How? You're...
Nora: Yeah, yeah. I'm dead... or was!
Jaune: Was?
Nora: I... well... um...
Jaune: *eyes narrow* What did you do?
Nora: I convinced an otherworldly being to resurrect me... yeah, just that, only that?
Jaune: *raises an eyebrow while crossing his arms over his chest* Really?
Nora: Really.
Jaune: What's the catch?
Nora: Someone has to play them in a game to make this stick!
Jaune: Is that it? *sees that Nora is fidgeting* Nora...
Nora: Well the thing is...
Jaune: I'm waiting.
Nora: Someone has to play and WIN to grant me my complete resurrection... but if they lose...
Jaune: If they lose...
Nora: They also die? *unleashes a Ruby-esque set of Puppy-Dog eyes* I'm sorry?
Jaune: *sighing and shaking his head* Nora... which being is it?
Nora: It's... hey, you're taking this whole thing rather well, the scream not withstanding. How is that possible? Pyrrha fainted and Ren just... sat there, ignoring me.
Jaune: This is not the first time...
Nora: What now?
Jaune: Nothing. So which entity is it?
Nora: The Brother of Light.
Jaune: Okay... wait! Did you just come to me because Pyr and Ren wouldn't do it?
Nora: Well... I did say Pyr-Pyr fainted, and well Rennie is not in a good place.
Jaune: So I'm your THIRD choice.
Nora: Sorry.
Jaune: Fine. When is this supposed to happen?
Nora: You'll do it?
Jaune: Of course. To get you back, I would do just about anything.
Nora: That's SO sweet of you!
Jaune: So wh...
Brother of Light (BoL): How about now... Mr Arc.
Jaune: *sighs and shakes his head* Fine.
Tumblr media
Jaune (With Nora hovering at his shoulder) : B4
BoL: *grumbling* Hit... you sunk my battleship.
Jaune: Well that's it, I won so....
BoL: Best of THREE!
Jaune/Nora: That wasn't the...
BoL: BEST. OF. THREE.
Jaune snorts and gives the Brother of Light the stink-eye, while Nora pouts.
Tumblr media
BoL: *Looking at his hand, showing a pair of queens and a pair of nines* I call *pushes all his chips into the centre of the table*
Jaune sighs, and pulls out of his stack just enough to cover the bet.
BoL: Read 'em weep... two pair, queen's high.
Jaune: Not bad... *Jaune lays down his hand* Full house... Aces over Kings.
BoL: How?
Jaune: Just lucky... now that's two wins to one...
BoL: BEST OF FIVE!
Nora/Jaune: What? No!
BoL: Are you...
????: That's enough of that. You lost... pay up.
BoL: Fate? What are you... NO! That's cheating!
Fate: Cheating? Who me? Why would I do such a thing? Just because the Arc's are descendants...
BoL: But she... she...
Fate: You made the deal...
BoL: Fine *crosses his arms over his chest and pouts*
Nora: Is it over? Do I get to stay alive?
Fate: Yes my dear. My beloved Jaune has won you.
Nora: Thank you! *Hugs Jaune and places a kiss on his cheek* Thank You! I get to live again! I can be with Renn....
Fate: Ah Ah Ah. That's not how it works.
Nora: What?
Jaune: No... no... no... I don't need...
Fate: Hush now, dear. You see Ms Valkyrie, or can I call you Nora? I would prefer Nora, as you'll be part of the family soon.
Nora: Say what now?
Fate: Jaune won you back from the after-life... do you contest that?
Jaune: No.
Fate: And do you understand the implications of such an action?
Nora: Umm... no?
Fate: It's like this...
Jaune: *cutting off Fate* It's like this... I won so I now own your soul, which means you are mine until the...
Nora: Jaune?
Fate: Tell her.
Jaune: We are bonded together... *sighs and rubs the back of his neck* ... until the end of time.
Nora: What? How? I don't...
Fate: You and Jaune are now ... for the lack of a better term or concept... husband and wife... in the cosmic sense... didn't Jaune warn you?
Nora: I... *eyes narrow* No he didn't.
Jaune: Oops... My Bad?

I'm Tired...
Gillian and Jaune sat in the jeep, both feeling a little exhausted just escaping some of Jax's Crownsmen and stopped on the side of the road to take a break.
Jaune's head rested on the steering wheel and Gillian could see his breathing slowing down.
Gillian glanced at Jaune, her concern evident in the furrow of her brow and the gentle tilt of her head. "You ok?" She asked.
Jaune shifted slightly, as he let out a sigh before sitting back up, and combing his hair back and out of his eyes, cobalt blue eyes that were dull and tired.
"I haven't been sleeping, Gill" Jaune replied. "I've been... thinking about what we lost... thinking about my friends"
He took a deep breath in and then let it out in a long sigh once more, his shoulders sagging and his posture deflated. Hearing the heavy and long sigh, was like hearing the final intakes of air you'd hear when someone was on their deathbed.
"I've been seeing their faces... Ashara, Emilio, Fox, Cardin... Aurora..." Jaune said with a slight shift of tone in his voice.
Gillian could hear the breaking in his voice when he had mentioned Aurora, and she too felt an immense pull on her heart, as if someone was inside of her body and yanked on it as one would a string to a curtain.
Tears formed and felt like a foreign substance in his eyes as Jaune took a deep breath and slowly trailed down his cheeks. "I... I'm tired, Gillian, so... so... so tired," he told her.
Gillian slowly nodded in agreement. The war between them and her brother had taken its toll on them and many others, because not only did they need to deal with the pain of everything that was happening around them and the loss of the young girl who was like their daughter, but they were also worried about what the outcome would be with Salem's 2nd attack on Vale and Beacon and the fear of what would happen to team RWBY, Pyrrha, Nora, and Ren.
Gillian squeezed his hand, her touch a comforting anchor in the storm of his thoughts. She knew all too well the toll their war had taken, the scars it had left on their souls. "Just a little bit more, Jaune..." She told him. "We have just keep pushing a little bit more and then... We'll make sure the world Aurora wanted comes true,"
Jaune nodded slowly as he closed his eyes. The moment he shut his eyes was the moment that they felt too heavy to open, it felt like he would have to push all of his strength into opening his eyelids which felt as heavy as a garage door.
"Just a little more... just a little more..." he told himself.
It was almost over.

Are Pyrrha and Ren demigods in the PJO AU?
Ren is, son of Iris. He’s claimed but he doesn’t have a cabin so he stays in the Hermes cabin with Nora, who also doesn’t have a cabin
Pyrrha is… a special case
Athena, goddess of strategy, is able to read the signs of the coming war better than any of her family, and unlike Ares she actually wants to do something about it
The Three Brothers try to make a pact to subvert the prophecy, but Hades, god of the dead, knows that trying to avoid fate will only bring it screaming down around your ears
The gods need a mortal champion, one born from the Sons of Kronos, one who is strong enough to fight the King of the Titans, one who wouldn’t hesitate to die if the war called for it
They need an Achilles
They both come to this conclusion separately, and with a dream from the Fates giving tacit approval, the two of them set to work
And within a few months, Pyrrha Nikos is born and arrives on the doorstep of the Big House in a golden cradle. Daughter of Hades, Blessed by Athena, Rebirth of Achilles. Destined to burn as bright as her hair and die just as tragically
The Invincible Girl

9 Days of Lancaster Day3: Secret Relationship
Yang:Water?
Weiss:Check!
Yang:Gym clothes?
Blake:Check
Yang:Leader to guide/bond with us as we test our limits?
Ruby:Cry all you want. I can’t just change my plans. *grabs notes*
Yang:But you could!
Weiss:I can’t believe you got roped into helping Jaune study for his test.
Ruby:Weiss, it’s called “helping a friend.” Plus we made these plans first. It’s not like you’ll be alone.
On queue, a knock on the door made Blake open it. Nora came jumping in with her gym bag and already limbered up. Ren and Pyrrha.
Ren:She’s very excited about the new gym installed.
Nora:Today we sweat!!!
Pyrrha:Let’s try to leave the place intact. Ms. Goodwitch hasn’t forgiven us for the cafeteria.
Ruby:Is my naïve weapon enthusiast ready for me?
Pyrrha:He’s at his desk frantically writing notes. Y’know…if you need any help-
Ruby:I may not be a star student but when it comes to the history of weapons and their engineering, I might as well teach the class.
Weiss:Now if only you applied half that enthusiastic in Dust reaction experiments.
Ruby:Nobody can be perfect at everything.
Blake:The two star students of our year are literally in this room.
Weiss and Pyrrha: *all smiles*
Ruby:Pfft, so lightning struck twice? My point stands. Either way, I’ll have Jaune passing with flying colors in no time so don’t worry about it. Have fun everyone. We’ll join next time.
Pyrrha:If you insist.
Ren:It’s probably for the best.
Blake:Yeah we someone to save us from Yang and Nora’s routine ideas.
Yang:It’s not that bad!
Nora:The pain is weakness leaving the body.
Ruby:And on that threatening note… *grabs books* I’m off to across the hall!
Everyone funneled out of the dorm room and went on their way. Ruby waited for them to full turn the corner before knocking for times. The door was opened by Jaune and she gladly walked in. Pyrrha wasn’t joking; his desk had papers stacked and books opened.
Ruby:Wow, hard a work I see?
Jaune:I try. I’m just a bad test taker.
Ruby:We’ll have no fear! I’ve made mock tests and flash cards to drill all knowledge into you! Stick with me and-
The knight’s arms suddenly wrapped around her waist as he gently pressed his lips against hers, making Ruby jolt. A smile spread quickly on her face as she kissed him back harder while her arms hung off his shoulders. As their lips separated, Ruby couldn’t help but giggle as she went into for another chaste kiss. The slight grunt of approval he gave as he held her tighter made the girl shake her head playfully.
Ruby:Easy now. We should at least attempt to study. I talked a big about you passing. That means I should actually teach you. There’s an entire chapter dedicated to hand placements.
Jaune:Hehe, you are so ridiculous.
Ruby:Yet you looked intrigued. We can smooch later.
Jaune:It would be easier to get kissing out of the way now so our friends don’t potentially nterrupt later. Isn’t breaks an important part of studying? Besides, I don’t think I can survive an enraged Yang even if she’s tired and sore.
Ruby:Hmmm you drive a hard bargain, but I can’t have you too tired to learn. Tell you what, take the test and every correct answer gives you a kiss. FYI, there’s fifty questions.
Jaune:Oooo that is a good deal. Got a reward for if I actually pass the real test?
Ruby:Let’s aim higher, a hundred on the test earns you a date anywhere you want, my treat.
Jaune:And if I get the extra credit?
Ruby:*blushing* I’m open to ideas.
Jaune:What if…we did of this…
He raised her slightly, her feet struggling to stay grounded as he kissed her roughly. Ruby felt a tingle up her back as she refused to back down, deepening the kiss. His arms held her so close his scent both put her heart at ease and made it flutter.
Jaune:But a lot more?
Ruby:Deal~ but you’re getting ahead of yourself. *waves papers* Study time you dummy.
Jaune:Okay, you win. I’ll be a good student. *kisses neck*
Ruby: No flirting when testing is in progress!
xxxxx
Oobleck:Attention class! I have finished grading your weaponry tests and i must say I’m quite disappointed in the overall performance! Mr. Arc!!!
Jaune:Y-Yes…?
Oobleck:….Yours was not one of them.
He zips by everyone, giving them the grades they all earned. The usual suspects passed. Weiss, and Pyrrha even had a perfect score while Ruby on the other hand, waved around a 103%
Pyrrha:Congratulations. The extra credit stumped me.
Blake:I’m fine with a B
Ren:*holds 94* I’m very lucky all of you have varying guns I’ve seen in use.
Nora:*holds 88* Same hehe…
Weiss:It would be a tragedy if your hyper fixation didn’t help you pass with flying colors.
Yang:Why can’t you just say congratulations? A hundred questions and I got 99. But the real question is…*looks at Jaune*
Jaune:*holds 103* I owe a big thanks to my personal teacher.
WBYNPR:WHAT!?
Ruby:*dark red* Well would you look at that? Nice work.
Jaune:*smiles* Couldn’t have done it without you. I promise to pay you back in full.
Ruby:*internal screaming* Looking forward to it.

Ren: I walked in on my teammates Jaune and Pyrrha in bed together and sent them to what Nora called “Horny Jail.”
Ren: …unfortunately, I didn’t think things all the way through, and put them both in the same cell, with what can only be described as “obvious results.”
Ren: I feel the lesson may have been lost.
Weiss: *long-time victim of suffering at the hands of Blake X Yang* Rookie mistake, Ren!

Jaune's Shampoo
General Arc
"DAMMIT, NORA!" Jaune opened his shower door. As he exited, he noticed his body had drastically changed. Using a mixture of his shampoo and experimental goo found at the fiendish Dr. Merlot's laboratory, Nora had unwittingly created a mutagen just to prank her team leader.
"Huh?" Jaune brought his hand to his lips, curious as to the strangely baritone voice that came from it. Before he could question how his voice became so suddenly deep, he felt hair around his mouth. And not peach fuzz hair, but a full-blown forest of hair grew over his cheeks and past his chin. "What the hell?"
Jaune swiftly opened the shower door, almost breaking it as it slammed against itself. He winced at the sound of almost breaking. Apparently, hair wasn't the only thing that had grown from his shower. Looking down, he flexed his massive palms, noting the thick bushel of arm hair coating both his chest and his arms and his... Whoa! Not gonna get into that description until he figures out what happened to his face.
Wiping his hand over the foggy mirror, he found a strange face staring back at him. It was a face aged by years, perhaps even decades of experience. Thinking on it, he kind of looked like old pictures of his grandpa and his dad, from back in their huntsmen days. But looking in his eyes, he saw the truth of the matter; despite all the changes, it was still him.
"Jaune?" He heard a voice call out to him from outside the bathroom door. "Is everything okay in there?"
Jaune looked at the door, then back to the mirror. What should he tell Pyrrha? 'Yeah, everything is totally fine except I'm 40 all of a sudden in the span of a 5-minute shower!' No, no, he had to play it safe. Or at least try to get some help.
"Uh, actually, I think I might be getting sick." He lied to his partner. "Do you think you could get some medicine from the nurse's office?"
"Uh, okay then, Jaune."
He crept to the door and put his ear to it. He heard something slide, then slide again. Pyrrha left. Good. He opened the door, creeping into his own dorm room to find something he could wear. No way was he streaking across campus, new body or old body. He pulled on some boxers, finding them to be a bit tight for his new mass, and ripped some tears in them to ease his pain. Nothing in his closet even looked like it still fit him, so he'd figure something out. Maybe if he tied his hoodie over his lap, it would pass enough to be a loincloth?
"Jaune, I went over to Team RWBY and they... had... some..." Jaune looked to his partner, having returned from her search for his fake illness. "...medicine." Yes, that.
"Uh, h-hey, Pyrrha." He cleared his throat. "So, uh, funny story, but, uh... You remember when Weiss told me to grow up?"
"Okay, first of all-" The young woman stormed in, raising a finger at Jaune's torso as if her arm was already used to being positioned to his old height. Following her digit to it's point to find the now massive leader of JNPR looking back at her with innocent, blue eyes.
"Uh, h-hey, Weiss." He waved his gargantuan hands at her. "Uh, so I don't think you'll have to worry about me asking you out anymore."
Weiss didn't say anything. The shifty gaze that adornered her reddened face told Jaune she was too distracted by the titanic mass of muscle and body hair to focus on anything at that moment. He looked to Pyrrha who looked about the same. He noticed their eyes wander down a bit too far.
"O-Oh! Sorry!" Jaune took his hoodie and BARELY managed to tie it around to act as his loincloth tarp thing. "Uh, better?"
--------------------------------------------------
Jaune panted as he sprinted down the halls of Beacon Academy. The screaming masses behind him only urged him to push himself harder. Making his way Beacon Tower, where the headmaster's office sat at the very top, he tapped repeatedly on the elevator call button.
"Come on, come on!"
"There he is~!" Squealed Yang, flanked by her team and Pyrrha. Of all the times for Ren and Nora to be out on their 'totally not together together friendly luncheon as just friends and nothing more to it than that I swear'.
"I have him, girls~!" Squeaked Velvet as she clung to his neck. Damn! If only he wasn't so distracted by Nora's long and overly complicated name for 'not a date' that she insisted on! "Mm, he smells like an ocean beach house~!"
"Let me smell!" Blake shouted, practically foaming at the mouth. "I've actually lived in a beach house! I would know!"
Before she could sink her claw-like fingers into him, he tossed off Velvet (as gently as he could) and when he realized the elevator wasn't coming, he decided there was only one thing left to do. He turned around, grabbed the wall, and launched himself into the air! After gaining some feet or yards or whatever, he dug his fingers into the wall again and propelled himself higher!
"Weiss!" Ruby looked to her partner.
"Alright!" Weiss summoned glyphs on the wall, all the way up to the top, in the direction of Jaune.
--------------------------------------------------
"No, sir."
"Come on, I'm sure the students will love it."
"Sir," Professor Goodwitch sighed at the ridiculous glasses on the headmaster's face, "I just don't think anyone will want to see anyone else wearing such ridiculous glasses."
"Oh, come now, Glynda." Ozpin removed his glasses. "It's not like the students will revolt and start climbing up the-"
Just then, a large, nearly naked man with wild hair swatted at a young Ruby Rose that swarmed over him like the most annoying bug ever. He clung to the window frame of the office, swatting away until he fell from the tower, leaving Miss Rose to hang from roof.
"Mm..." He mused "Perhaps these are a bit too wacky..."
--------------------------------------------------
Jaune Arc was dead, laying in the heap of rubble that was once the statue of the two hunters that greeted every student as they arrived at Beacon Academy. Many of the girls wept around his body, especially Ruby, whose tears soaked her hooded cape as she dressed it over his body. The teachers tried to get through, but the more burly students, such as Yang and, oddly enough, Team CRDL, stood in the way of the faculty as the funeral procession continued.
"Don't you think this prank went to far?" Ren asked.
"No." Nora replied, not looking at her best friend, her eyes focused on her dead leader. "T'was beauty that killed the beast."
"C... Can I get up now?" Jaune groaned.
"Just... Just five more minutes." Pyrrha sobbed, holding her partner's head in her hands.
