    Summary

    Ruby Rose has wanted to be a Huntress since childhood, so watching her sister get accepted into Beacon filled her with pride but also a sense of longing. Sure, she is too young, but she believes she has the skills to excel as a Huntress.

    Thanks to a fateful encounter, her dream can now become a reality. After arriving at Beacon, she realizes that this dream of hers wasn't what she expected. As she navigates through the harsh training environment at Beacon, learning about the corruption within the Hunters, her body starts to change. The disease in her blood is waking up, preparing to consume her all while she remains unaware.

    While Ruby undergoes her trials there is an air of tension in Remnant, as coincidences start to form patterns, bringing the world closer to the edge of a power struggle unmatched by any in over 80 years.

    This fic has tons of symbolism and allegory, alongside heavy character development and nuance. While there are ships, they are not the focus.

    There are around 10k words per chapter, but each chapter has sections to make it easier to read. I also go back and edit a lot.

    Summary

    She’s the world’s first human-Grimm hybrid and she’s got a crazy plan to save the world— so crazy that all the powers of old would unite just to stop her, if they knew she existed. Armed with nothing but her weapon and her sister at her side, Ruby Rose infiltrates Beacon, posing as one of its newest recruits.

    Her goal? Find the first of four relics Ozma has hidden around the globe.

    But when the world's hell-bent on stopping you, friends and allies are a rare commodity, and enemies lurk around every corner. Navigating this twisted maze of lies and half-truths may just end up costing her everything…

    Summary

    After escaping Evernight Castle, helping her robo-girl come back from the brink of death, and totally fulfilling her promise to Oz of keeping Ruby safe (gods there is still so, SO much blood), Emerald didn’t think her life could get any more complicated beyond the immortal baggage of a jaded wizard still living rent free in her brain.

    Obviously, she was wrong.

    Bandit tribes, crime syndicates, White Fang extremists—the worst of the worst of Mistral’s underbelly can’t help themselves from ruining Emerald’s already remarkably shitty life. Caught in the smack dab middle of this brutal power struggle, she tries to do what she’s done best her entire, street ratting life:

    Lie, steal, cheat, and (hopefully) survive.

    …Oh, and Cinder is still out there. Somewhere. ALSO probably in Mistral. And despite everything, Emerald is not any less madly in love with her.

    Fuck.

    Summary

    Ruby is in a constant, exhausting battle against a demon that lives inside her. The demon, a product of her trauma and powers, whispers promises of immense strength and an end to her pain. However, Ruby sees through these lies, knowing that to give in would mean losing herself entirely and becoming a prisoner to its influence.

    This internal war is always present. She can feel its power in the tremor of her hands and a cold, contemptuous voice that tries to poison her thoughts. It is a silent, unending fight that she must wage every moment to maintain control over her own body and mind. This struggle is the most difficult and private challenge she faces.

    But what happens when she has the support she needs? While the struggle is still exhausting, the presence of her team gives her the strength to endure it. She fights not just for herself, but for them. Their support gives her the willpower to push the darkness back into its cage, proving that her humanity and the bonds she shares with her friends are far more powerful than the beast within. The battle is never over, but with her team by her side, victory is always possible.

    Summary

    After the many failures of what the Gods believed to be a promising project in the field of sentient life, it was mutually decided to simply start anew. With the assistance of two new gods, the brothers of Light and Darkness create a world with many similarities to the last, though with a more… hands-on, method of intervening in the growth of life.

    In RWBY: Resurrect, the world of the Remnant is reinterpreted in a new light with the same cast as before, as well as many additions, all facing a new world of growth and conflict. Yet despite their strength, despite their sacrifices to have the world that they have today, an ancient evil still lingers beneath the very surface, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

    Experience this new world through the eyes of Ruby Rose, a young, upcoming huntress prodigy seeking to use her skills to protect her people. She and the friends she makes during her training all fight and grow alongside one another, finding light in their world built upon darkness. Will their strength be enough to stop the evil which grows around them?

    basically just what if RWBY was an edgy seinen-influenced story instead of a shonen-influenced one

    Summary

    This will be the story of a fantastic yet terrifying world.
    A world where people have special abilities and are capable of superhuman feats, where science fiction mixes with the supernatural.

    Where, in the shadows, creatures lurk. Creatures created and attracted by the negative feelings of the human race, formed by the hatred, sadness, pain and anguish of each person.
    And, to keep these creatures under control, hunting them and confronting them is necessary, and that obligation is done by the one called Hunters. Fighting day after day to maintain the peace that reigns in this world.

    This story will be about four girls who aspire to be hunters, each with their own reason and objective for this dream.
    A story about a world of peace that starts to experience the waves of change.

    (This story will be a rewrite of the RWBY series, taking as its inspiration the books and comics as a whole, discarding and modifying certain parts of the show)

    Summary

    Ruby’s voice was a whisper, unable to get enough of air to be any louder. “My friends…will find me.”

    Salem looked unconcerned.

    “They won’t recognize you.”

    She released her grip on Ruby’s throat and the child fell to the sound of Tyrian’s insane cackling in the background.

     

    Salem hummed at the sound of the splash.

    Summary

    Ruby just couldn’t catch a break. Even though she was let into beacon early, even though she was a star student. She was the most bullied student and looked down on student in Beacon. Everyone hated her for being so young but still put on a pedestal by the headmaster. Even the other half of her team seemed to resent her. The only ones who did seem to hold this were her sister Yang and 2 members of their sister team Jaune and Pyrrha but with Yang it seemed more like she was nice because they were sisters and Jaune seemed just too much of a pushover to be rude. Life at what Ruby hoped to be a dream school was more like her personal hell. However with all this it finally happened. Ruby was cut off and left to die

    She didn’t expect was to wake up again
