The Other Happy Huntresses, And Nora, Find May And Jaune Dozed Off Cuddling On The Couch Together With

I’d be down for pea coat, but roll with me for a second here.

They’re still gonna frostbitten Atlas.

Give Jaune a bomber jacket.

Actual sleeves, put a Beacon or Mantle or Pyrrha patch on the shoulder, think of that fur lined collar resting over the edges of his chestplate and say it wouldn’t look good.

Jaune: (whering his new coat)

Ruby: (blushing)

Jaune: what?

Ruby: THAT COAT MAKES YOU LOOK TOO COOL! (Petal burst away)

Jaune: (shrugs)

This whole AU is amazing.

And I have a weird feeling that if/when the Belladonna’s knew where Blake was Kali would be pushing like hell for some kind of Marriage Agreement, and if Jaune won’t sign it Kali knows Mama Arc might.

councilman arc au) jaune starts a navy, mainly cause the newer sail ships are far more efficiant than the air ships and bull heads currently used for trade and a navy is needed to protect the supply lines. for some reason all of his new officers are female. that's kinda weird but he's not gonna question it. most of the jobs right now are just general logistics and getting everything set in motion. meanwhile ironwood tries to figure out what the "political mastermind" councilor arc is up to.

James Ironwood had a problem.

He had a problem with Vale, specifically with its now sole councilman. He did not count Ozpin, since Beacon’s headmaster rarely attended hearings and was, essentially, acting as a councilman in name only.

Jaune Arc was an unknown to the general. His family was known, sure, but the young man did not appear on any radar prior to his meteoric rise into the most powerful position in the kingdom.

That was not to mention the incredible amount of stuff the young man did in his short time as councilman. Corruption went down to historic lows, faunus rights were enforced, healthcare got better, taxes were lowered...the living standard in all of vale went up by quite a margin, a calculation that ensured the kingdom as a whole to become richer.

In the eyes of the general, this young man was a political mastermind. Which made it all the more difficult to discern his true motives. What was he up to? For what did he intend to use his office?

Simply put: How did his master plan look like?

-------------------------

Jaune had no idea what he was doing, only that he did it right.

Well, to say he had no idea was a bit of a stretch, maybe. True, he intended to make things better for the average citizen; true, he wanted corruption gone and to give Jacques Schnee the middle finger...

But did that mean that he had to have a plan for everything?

Well, no. Especially not in the matter right now.

“Wattra Ion, codename “Iowa”, at your service, councilman!”

Before him stood an oddly perky, and quite beautiful, young captain of the new Valean fleet. Jaune had decided that Vale should not over-rely on the Atlesian military and had begun construction of a Valean fleet, solely equipped to handle and exterminate Grimm.

On the high seas, that is, not in the air. Yes, air ships were valuable, but harder to replace and maintain than sea ships. Besides, trade by sea was becoming increasingly valuable, especially since Jaune intended to hash out a trade agreement with Menagerie, another move that infuriated racists everywhere and  ensure faunus support.

Hence a collection of new navy captains right before him.

Only a problem, well, two. First one was, all of these captains were inexplicably female, for whatever reason. How come no guy was able to make it through the aptitude test? Complacency?

Well, the other problem was more important, as it practically jumped into the councilman’s eyes.

“What’s up with your uniform?” It twas certainly not the standard uniform of the Valean navy, that was for sure. Nope, it was more revealing.

“Oh, this?” Iowa twirled around with a grin, stars twinkling in her eyes. “I customized it. You like?”

“I mean, um...” Now how could he say this delicately? ”Don’t you think it could distract others?“

The captain grinned at him for it. “Maybe I want it to be. Maybe...” She leaned in closer, giving hi a good eyeful of cleavage.

“I got my eye on a certain someone.”

With a wink, she retreated and filed back in the line of hopeful young ship captains.

Jaune already had a headache.

(Surprise, surprise! I dared to do it! FUCKING SUE ME! no please don’t)

~Beacon, Team RWBY Dorm~

Blake: Girls, girls, hey... Are anyone else's clothes just really itchy? I think, I think I should just leave them off. Just for time in the dorm, you know?

Weiss: BLAKE! STOP! BE DECENT!

Blake: *Shirt already gone, trying to shake her pants off without standing* We should all be doing this, sisterhood, no secrets. I don’t care if my friends can see my ears or my ass or my piercings.

Yang: *Covering Ruby’s eyes* Weiss! Stop squealing and close the curtains! Wait, what’s pierced?

Ruby: Yang let go of my face!

Blake: Ruby please. You need to call Team JNPR over. We’ll need to cuddle them for, for warmth when it gets cold tonight...

Weiss: BLAKE LET GO OF ME!

Blake: *Tugging on Weiss’s skirt* TELL THEM THEY NEED TO BRING FOOD WITH THEM! NIGHTS ARE WAY LONGER DURING WINTER!

Yang: Damn it guys!! Who left the catnip out again!? You know Blake isn’t allowed near it unsupervised!

Blake: *On cloud 69*

Definitely Cinder ‘Scared of Vulnerability’ Fall.

Which jaune ship is this?

(Clingy Neo is high-tier)

Jaune: “I need to go watch my sister’s baby.”

Neo: *Signing* ‘But I’m baby.’

As with all Jaune ships, the baby-crazy starts when a girl sees him playing with Adrian.

Honestly, while I get people enjoy that trend for ships. I’d say it’s not so clear cut for Neo.

Neo sees Jaune with Adrian, and it doesn’t do too much. She adores that caring side of him, but whenever she sees him with Adrian, she gets frustrated that the attention is not on her. She’s always frustrated when the attention isn’t on her. She’s never really been big on kids and seeing him with one doesn’t make her jump at the thought of having one. They have a lot of time to live before she heavily considers that, but if she were ever to have them,(eventually) she would be very glad for him to be the father.

~Haven~

Ruby: -and then he just started taking bites out of it!

Nora: Yeah he did! Bossman Jaune locking it down!

Weiss: That’s disgusting! Barbaric!

Ruby: I know right! He’d do it whenever he found a deer, and he’d always ask me if I wanted it first like that’s normal!

Nora: I always ate Ren’s deer hearts...

Yang: Is this just a thing now? Was Vomit-Boy that weird when we were at school?

Blake: Wait- Where did Jaune grow up again? Do you know?

Ruby: Uhhh...Ansel? East of Vale? He’d go camping out in Anima though so he knew where to-

Blake: Hmmmm.... *Locking eyes with a giddy Nora*

Ruby: What? Does that matter?

Blake: Well in many regions of rural Sanus the heart goes to the youngest in the group to help them grow stronger.-

Ruby: I’m barely younger! And I don’t need a heart to g-

Blake: But on Anima, it’s a romantic gesture.

Weiss: It WHAT!?

Yang: Wha-ha-ha-hat?

Blake: It’s a confession, or if you want to be more literal, ‘I am asking permission to romantically pursue you’ it’s actually how Valentine’s Day started.

Weiss: How could that be considered romant-

Ruby: I was supposed to eat it!?

Yang: D’aaaw... poor Jauney, had his poor gross deer heart broken again...

Nora: You wish~~~

Weiss:...Ruby you didn’t-

Ruby: I didn’t even touch it!

Nora: Tell ‘em Blakey!

Blake: *Sighs* A rejection would have been tossing it on the ground, or even passing it on to another person, Ruby, you said he could have it every time?

Ruby: Y-Yeah, but I didn’t know any-

Nora: *Hyperactive Squealing*

Weiss: QUIET! Blake! What does that mean?

Blake: *Fidgeting with pages, looking away* Well, it varies, but-

Yang: WHAT’S IT!?

Blake:...’I am already yours’...

Nora: *Cheering*

Weiss & Yang: *Angry Stammering*

Ruby: *Panicking Rose Noises*

random idea for my head cannon of jaune

walking through remnant was a long and drawn-out process. especially when you didn’t pack rations before you set out. ruby would argue that she had a lot to think about before leaving but she knew she’d screwed up. she was taught to fight not to plan a caravan. luckily jaune knew how to hunt and process his kills, sure it was sad to kill a cute bunny or a gentle deer but hey they had to eat law of nature. she only cried a little  the bad news was that jaune processed the kills while they were around. and seeing her crush bestie friend ripping the guts out of an animal before skinning it. she got a little sick to her stomach.  Jaune: “okay, ruby you want the heart?” *still got his hands covered in the deer* Ruby: *kinda scared* “what?” Nora: *gasps* “Renny it’s happening!” Ren: *pleasantly surprised* “ahead of schedule as well, congratulations ruby” Ruby: “why am I being congratulated? what’s going on” Jaune: “the hearts something that can be eaten raw, I wanted to know if you wanted it” Ruby: “okay funny guys, really funny. you almost had me” *looks around* “you’re joking, right?” Jaune: “as serious as a heart attack” Nora: *gasps* Ren: *smiles happily* Ruby: “I couldn’t” jaune: “I don’t mind, you should have it” Ren: *shakes his head, still smiling* Nora: *pantomimes eating* Ruby: *panicking*  “YOU EAT IT!” Nora: “ohmygodohmygodohmygod,” *grabs ren by the shirt and shakes him* “IT’S HAPPENING!” jaune: *shrugs and takes a bite out of the heart like an apple* Nora/Ren: *applauding* Ruby: *face pales* *softly to herself* “what the heck” ———————————————————————————————————– so fun fact about deer hearts they can be eaten raw. in vale the heart is traditionally given to the youngest member of the group to help them grow strong in minstral the heart is given to someone you care about and is seen as something romantic  in the kingdoms, proper no one eats deer heart  so three different things were happening during this story for Nora and ren, it was jaune giving a romantic gesture (a very major one) to ruby who then reciprocated (in a major way) basically announcing that they would be courting each other  jaune made a kill and as a skilled hunter offered the best part to ruby who was the youngest as a gesture to show he cared about her. but she didn’t like deer heart so he ate it for her ruby just watched her … jaune, kill an animal rip its guts out through its butt cut off its skin then eat the heart out of it still raw after offering it to her

I feel like Winter probably lives off just field rations on missions and whatever the academy/base served while she was there. So if Jaune ever made her 'home-cooking' she'd just melt.

winter pigs out

What if Jaune caught Neo, and then lifted her so she was higher than him, then tip-toed up to kiss her after?

Okay but imagine that first Silent Knight kiss

Jaune’s knees are bent but he still has to lean down and nearly hurt his neck to reach Neo

Neo is on the tips of her toes practically pulling Jaune down to her level, using him as support so she doesn’t fall over

Blake: This is... Progress?

Emerald: I hate this.

Yang: I love this.

Jaune, hitting Cinder over the head with a door: I a-DOOR you!

Cinder, rubs her head: aksdsj!

Cinder, picks up a frying pan and hits Jaune with it: I love you with a BURNING passion!!

Jaune, grabs a vase and breaks it over Cinders head: My heart BREAKS when you’re away!

Cinder, grabs a tall lamp and hits him in the chest with it: You are the LIGHT of my life!!

Jaune, falls to the floor: EYUGH!

"Of course, she may regain her former partner very soon, when/if Winter defects."

This is Ciel erasure.

Still a fun idea though.

So we sure do have a lot of potential defectors this volume..

I mean the Ace Ops obviously, who are looking increasingly likely to defect all together.. but not everyone will be so lucky as to have a whole team that defects with them.

Penny already defected, and has essentially been fighting without a dedicated team or partner ever since. Of course, she may regain her former partner very soon, when/if Winter defects.

Then we have Emerald, who is almost definitely about to defect, and who has just been split up from her former partner.

And she may even be joined by Neo, who’s been looking equally uncomfy with her situation of late. Which could give us four newly minted heroes in need of a team to call their own...

Anyway what I’m saying is there is a golden opportunity for the v8 defection squad to get together and form team WEPN (weapon).

Because really.. can you imagine how terrifyingly intense they would be together??

They’d just be one big bundle of severe emotional trauma wrapped in a desperate need to feel useful... <3
