    Summary

    “She appears to me / Oh, dressed in grief / Roses follow her footsteps…”

     

    It’s been thirteen years since Beacon Academy fell, and nearly twenty-five since Summer Rose had left. Salem has been neutralized, the kingdoms are rebuilding, and memorials for the dead have been happening far and wide. Ruby is nearing the age Summer was, and she’s been drowning in grief.

    Qrow is drowning too, drowning in nightmares and alcohol and all of his failures.

    As their paths collide head-on, they both realize hope really does come from the unlikeliest of places. The question then becomes, can love with the wrong person help someone be better? (And is it worth it in the end?)

    Summary

    “Just put down the bottle; don’t listen to what you’ve consumed…”

     

    Ruby is determined to get Qrow clean from alcohol no matter what. But the stress of it nearly breaks them both as they contend with their failings and their failures in what little time they have before their family returns home.

    Both of them have a choice to make: they can either trust in each other and in the help that others have offered, or they can cling to the tendencies that have allowed them to stay alive until now.

    If Ruby is being honest with herself, neither option seems sustainable in the long run. But they’re going to have to choose, and fast – they’ve only got so much left to give before it falls apart for good.

     

    Takes place immediately after "but where's your heart?"

    Summary

    “I need you, Lady Furina. It pains me to admit it… but I can’t do this without you. And yet, it wouldn't be fair to ask you for anything more.”

    It was at that moment that she had the feeling of actually seeing him. The real him.
    Compared to her powerless human self, he had always seemed so self-assured, appearing larger than life. But now she saw the insecurity, the uncertainty, the heavy weight of responsibility for all the lives of an entire nation crushing down on his shoulders.

     

    Human existence was vibrant and full of life. Her past self had longed for it and wished for her to fully embrace it. So Furina experiences many different facets of humanity together with Neuvillette.

    An alternate storyline, starting from the aftermath of the flood in the 4.2. Archon Quest.
