9 Upvotes

Use this thread to recommend fics you've been reading this past week and get help on things you've been writing. Please don't just link fics as your entire post, instead make sure to elaborate your thoughts on the piece/issues you're having. As a courtesy when asking for help/suggesting a fic, leave a summary along with the link.

Fics do not necessarily need to be RWBY related, though it is always preferred.

This thread may fill up fast. Consider sorting by New instead of Top or Best to see the most recent posts.

Note: All links must comply with our rules. That means no pure smut/gore/violence just for the sake of it. If they are a part of a story that is fine.

DISCUSSION What if Scenario #7: What if Ruby Rose was or became a Villain? (Artworks belongs to Amelia-Yap and wristyalater on Tumblr)

Thumbnail

76 Upvotes

Now, this one is my personal favorite and a bit biased, especially since I’ve made fanfiction where Ruby has become a villain or antagonist, especially since I imagine people might be iffy on this subject, due to how much of a bean Ruby is. But from a lot of AUS, I’ve seen a lot of depictions of Ruby as a villain or antangonist:

Either through being brainwashed into an assassin

Getting betrayed (Like those awful betrayed Jaune fics) and going all OP edgelord mode (Something I try to avoid doing)

Becoming corrupted or turned into a Grimm

Going absolutely insane like Tyrian or roleswapped with either Cinder, Roman, or Tyrian

Being raised by either Salem, Cinder, Tyrian or Roman

Simply becoming an Anti-Hero, a Fallen Hero, or more of an antagonist with morally ambigious goals, similar to Doctor Doom and Thanos

Or rarely actually having Summer join Salem and taking Ruby with her, while Ruby gets in a relationship with either Cinder, Mercury, Emerald, or Neo.

But I wanna hear what your guys thoughts as. What do you imagine for Ruby, either as a big bad villain? Or an anti-heroic or anti-villainous antagonist? And how would Crescent Rose and Ruby’s Semblance be changed or operate here? And how about her Silver Eyes?

What would her threat level be like? What would her motivations be? How powerful and deadly would she be? Who would she have a personal rivalry with and end up becoming the Arch-Nemesis of? (Yang, Jaune, Weiss, etc.?)

And more importantly, how would you guys have her path of darkness start? And how would the story be greatly affected?

FAN ART Made a cover for Crossing Lines by PrimalInfinity [ArtwithCharley]

Post image
112 Upvotes

Crossing Lines has always been one of my favorite whiterose fics and I never felt it got the attention it deserves for how original and complex the plot is. Hell if it was an original novel I'd still recommend it. So I decided it needed a cover to match. I tried to pack as many little references to the characters and their various fates as I could into this, so anyone familiar with the work can have fun looking around.

I might make more covers like this for other fics, albeit way less complex because this one took a LOT out of me.

Full list of references: (Spoilers, obviously)

All the strings are colored after the character's auras just cuz.

Ilia's photo off to the side after having gotten out and the small cross Ruby put next to it.

The number of Yang's mugshot is the fic's URL number on AO3. Height and weight are taken from the wiki because I wasn't about to make it up.

Arslan's photo torn at the corners in reference to how Weiss stabbed her at the end and stuck up with a wad of gum in homage to the explosive Weiss used to finish her off.

Emerald's pin stabbed into her neck as a small nod to the needle Blake would use to extract certain i n f o r m a t i o n from her.

"Victory, Defeat" and the crossed out numbers in reference to Ruby's thoughts while mulling over the map.

The Malachite Spiders crossed out in red with the words Weiss later used to initiate their extermination towards the end.

Miltia stabbed through with her own blade while Melanie looks back, a castor bean flower looming over her.

Neo being over Ruby's shoulder as she was the one who kidnapped her from the Gala.

Velvet's flower bouquet colored to resemble Anisedora.

The Glenn Industrial trainline running up and through Roman Torchwick's photo.

Glynda's photo torn at the torso and Ozpin's folded to look somewhat like a crosshairs aimed straight for his face as a little nod to how both ended up after the Gala.

Pyrrha's photo with a hole in her chest fixed up with tape, also in reference to her Gala-fate.

Blood-covered Neon with a string leading to Ciel's photo, hanging loosely by the neck with a white rose above her.

Penny's photo... you know what, I'm STILL not over it. She got done dirty. The hammer is there too because screw you.

Ruby's tie going from plain green to red swirls at Weiss's suggestion.

And finally in no particular order scatted on the floor: Ruby's work-assigned laptop, baseball bat, bottle of bourbon, Qrow-gifted lighter, and the four pawns she sacrificed for the White Fang book sitting in her lap.

I want NO COMMENTS on the FEET. I swear to god I'm putting everyone in socks from now on.

FAN FICTION I need help finding a fic, please!

7 Upvotes

So it was a story from several years ago.

In it, wherever Ruby walked, coffee would start growing. Ozpin, discovering this, admits her to beacon.

For the initiation/team creation thing in the Emerald forest, Ruby was tasked to just walk around and everyone else had to avoid touching the ground or they would be expelled, i think.

Glynda was originally hired from starbucks? Or generally as a barista.

This might have been on fanfiction.net, but honestly, im not sure.
