It's been a while, but have any of Avalanche made recent guest teacher appearances in Beacon. How did things go?
Ruby: Geez, Weiss... I can't believe you got detention!
Weiss: Stop saying that, Ruby!
Ruby: I'm sorry, but I still can't believe it!
Weiss: It's not my fault! That muscle-headed charlatan was completely wrong about Dust being inferior to Materia!
Blake: I mean, he wasn't the one screaming at the top of his lungs about how wrong you were.
Yang: Yeah, it's almost like you were going crazy out there. And now, you have to write a three-page report on the differences between Dust and Materia with verified sources NOT from your family's company.
Weiss: Grr!
-------------------------------------------------
Jaune: Are you okay, Pyrrha?
Pyrrha: I'm fine.
Jaune: Are you sure?
Pyrrha: Yes, Jaune, I am sure I'm fine.
Jaune: ...
Pyrrha: ...
Jaune: ...Because you sounded really upset that Uncle Cid was teaching our class-
Pyrrha: I SAID I'M FINE, JAUNE! (Covers mouth) I-I'm sorry. It's just... (Sighs) Your uncle really gets on my nerves sometimes.
Jaune: Was it because he kept criticizing your form?
Pyrrha: It wasn't just that. It was the way he was criticizing. He... He made me feel stupid, and that's not how coaches should train.
Jaune: Yeah, Uncle Cid can be pretty rough to get used to, but he's just doing things the way he was taught. And, to be honest, it's how he taught me.
Pyrrha: That just makes me feel worse.
Jaune: Sorry.
Pyrrha: Don't be. I'm glad you at least tried to cheer me up.
Nora: And hey, if it makes you feel any better, I stole his goggles!
Jaune: You did WHAT?!
KIIIIIIIIIIIID!
Ren: ...I'm assuming that's your uncle?

What about Tifa? Since FF Rebirth is the popular thing now, I wonder what she will give Jaune for his birthday.
Tifa: "Happy Birthday, Jaune!"
Jaune: *drunk* "Man...this drink sure has one helluva kick!"
Ruby: *grimaced* "What the hell was in that drink?"
Cloud: "It's one of those things that I'm still figuring out."

Baby Mama AU: Cloud and Jaune show just how much they love they wifes when team CRDL insult them
It was a normal day. Birds were singing, Cloud was visiting, the kids were confused about who was "papa".
Then they overheard just the darndest thing!
"Fucking hot babe...what does she even see in that loser?"
"Maybe she's a slut open for anyone! Hey, think I can ask her?"
"Move aside, dipshit. I'm gonna be the one to fuck that babe."
"Hey, you think that other blonde is married?"
"Who cares? Far as I know she's a slut, too."
Next thing that team knew, they were charged by two very angry blondes.
"Not the wedgie!"

RWBY x Final Fantasy: The Wellerman
The dads, and uncle, of Team OZPIN sat around the table in a drunken stupor. It was almost time for closing and Qrow has an idea to end the night with a bang.
Qrow: Guys, what’s your favourite sea shanty?
Cloud: *raises eyebrow* Sea shanty? Qrow, we’re nowhere near the ocean.
Tai: Aw come on, Cloud. *hic* Don’t get all “stormy” on us. *chuckles*
Cloud: *sighs* You and your puns.
Regis: Tai’s right, it could be fun and besides, what better way to end the night than a good old song with brothers in arms?
Ghira: I agree. In the spirit of brotherhood, sing away my good man!
Tai/Regis: Qrow! Qrow! Qrow!
Qrow: *hearty laugh* Alright, alright. I’ll sing... but only if you guys sing along with me.
Tai/Regis/Ghira: Yeah!!!
Cloud: *deadpans* No.
Qrow: If you don’t sing, you’re picking up the tab.
Cloud: *glares* ...you wouldn’t.
Qrow: *smirks* Wouldn’t I?
Cloud: *grumbles* Fine. You win.
Qrow: That’s the spirit! Now then.. how does it go? *ahem*
There once was a ship that put to sea
And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow!
QTCRG: Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum!
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go!
Tai: She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow!
QTCRG: Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum!
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go!
Regis: Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down below!
QTCRG: Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum!
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go!
Cloud: No line was cut, no whale was freed
An' the captain's mind was not on greed
But he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow!
QTCRG: Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum!
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go!
Ghira: For forty days or even more
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
And still that whale did go!
QTCRG: Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum!
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go!
Qrow: As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the captain, crew and all!
QTCRG: Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum!
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go!
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum!
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go! Ayyyy!!!!!! *all them do one last cheers*
From a far away table, Ruby, Yang, Blake, Noctis and Jaune all groaned with embarrassment.
Noctis: *faceplams* This the last time we’re ever taking them out for drinks
Ruby/Jaune/Yang/Blake: Yep.

ZOS’ short stories 34
Title: More Magical Wedding Ring Shenanigans! (SSBU x Various)
Note: This is a sequel to my 27th short story, “The Magical Wedding Rings!”
————————————————————
Juno (excited): This is splendid! Not only do I get to meet mother and father here in the world of Smash, but I also get to meet my uncle and my grandparents!
Chrom (holding his head): I-I-I’m too young to be a grandpa...
Reflet (rubbing her forehead): You’re telling me...
Mark: I never knew I would eventually have a niece! She looks so lovely! Hm...I wonder where Cloud and Lucina are...?
*Meanwhile, in another room...*
Cloud (contemplating): I can’t believe this...
Lucina (happily): Me neither!
Cloud (raising an eyebrow): You hid that wedding ring in my pocket, didn’t you?
Lucina: I couldn’t wait any longer, Cloud!
Cloud: Really? You literally couldn’t have waited for me to say “Lucina, will you marry me?” and give you a wedding ring that came from YOUR world?
Lucina (blunt): No.
Cloud (sighing): ...Well, at least you’re honest...
Lucina (looking at her ring): But just imagine...if rings like these were to exist everywhere else in the entire universe! In other worlds, and in other timelines!
*Meanwhile, in Mementos in the Persona world...*
Ren (holding a glowing wedding ring): Makoto Niijima, my queen...will you stick by my side for the rest of my life?
Makoto (blushing): I...I don’t know what to say...!
Ren: Just a simple answer, is all.
Makoto (taking the ring): Y-Yes! I will! I shall be with you forever! *Slips in the ring*
Ryuji (yelling): Joker! Look out behind you!
*Ren turns around, and sees that a shadow is about to attack him, but a dark portal appears, and a figure springs out of the portal and attacks the shadow with a Persona that looks like a female, child version of Arsene*
Makoto: W-What the...?
Ren: Was that...Arsene?
*Suddenly, the figure reveals herself to be messy-haired, brown haired teenage girl wearing a Metaverse Garb similar to Joker and Queen’s*
Yuko (Shumako child): Mom! Dad! Are you alright?
*The Phantom Thieves’ eyes widened*
Ryuji (shocked): Wait a minute...”dad”?!
Ann (shocked): “Mom”?!
Yusuke (shocked): Joker and Queen had a child...?!
Haru (smiling): She looks so cute!
Futaba (smirking): Oooh!
Morgana (eyes widened): Where did that portal come from...?
Makoto (shocked): That’s...our daughter?
Ren (internally): What should I say...? >”Who are you, really?” >”You can’t be our daughter!” >”Doesn’t she look lovely?”
Makoto (blushing): W-What?!
Yuko (blushing): Ehehe! Thank you, dad!
*Meanwhile, at Capsule Corp in the Dragon Ball world...* *Note, this takes place during the time gap between Z and Super*
Bulma (yelling): Vegeta! Have you found my wedding ring?!
Vegeta: I’ve looked everywhere, Bulma, but I haven’t found it yet!
Bulma: Well, KEEP LOOKING!!!
*Vegeta mumbles to himself, then finds a glowing wedding ring in one of her drawers*
Vegeta: Hm, that’s funny. I don’t remember owning a wedding ring like this. Oh well...I FOUND YOUR RING!!!
Bulma (walking in): Ah, good! *Sees the ring* Huh, I don’t remember this glowing!
Vegeta: Me neither, now put it on so I can get back to training.
Bulma (slipping the ring in): Ok, sheesh. No need to rush me-
*Suddenly, a dark portal appears and a future version of Bulla appears from the portal*
Future Bulla (smiling): Mother! Father! I’ve come from the future!
Vegeta (eyes widened): WHAT?!?
Bulma (shocked): I-I have a second child?!?
Trunks (walking in): Hey, mom. What’s with all the- huh?
Future Bulla: Hi, big brother!
Trunks (shocked): B-B-Big brother?!? That’s my sister?!
*Everyone freaks out as Future Bulla just stands there, smirking*
*Meanwhile, at Beacon in the RWBY world...*
Jaune (hiding three wedding ring boxes in his pocket): Hm...I think I’ll give these three to Ruby, Yang, and Pyrrha as gifts...
Nora (appearing behind him): Hi, leader!
Jaune (freaks out): AH!!! Don’t scare me!
Nora (smirking): Sorry, just wanted to check on you.
Jaune (sighing): I-I’m doing fine, th-thanks...
Nora: Soooo...whatcha doing?
Jaune (nervously): I’m gonna give three girls a...friendship ring.
Nora: Ooh! Sounds fun! *Sees Ruby, Yang, and Pyrrha in the distance* Hey, guys!
Ruby: Oh, hey, Nora! What’s up?
Nora: Jaune, show ‘em what you’re gonna give to them!
*Jaune shows Ruby, Yang, and Pyrrha the wedding rings, and they’re glowing with an awesome power*
Pyrrha (eyes sparkling): Ooh! They look quite lovely!
Yang (smiling): Quite! So, vomit boy, are these wedding rings or something? You finally gonna propose to us or something? *Giggles*
Jaune (blushing): What? No! They’re friendship rings!
Ruby (smiling): Well...I wouldn’t mind wearing something to remind me of you, Jaune~...
*The three girls slip in the rings, then suddenly, a dark portal with three teenage girls appear*
Nora (freaking out): Ah! What the?!
Lily (to Ruby): Hi, mom! *Hugs her*
Yin (to Yang): Hey, mom! *Hugs her*
Athena (to Pyrrha): Hello, mother! *Hugs her*
*Ruby, Yang, and Pyrrha’s faces all turn super red, as they’re wondering to theirselves how this even happened*
Lily/Yin/Athena (to Jaune): Hi/hello, dad/father!
*RYP look at Jaune, who’s blushing madly as much as they are*
Jaune (blushing): D-D-Dad?! F-F-Father?!
*The three teenage offsprings all hug Jaune, as RYP freak out even more*
*Also, Nora.EXE has stopped working*
*Meanwhile, back in the world of Smash, in the Chrom’s household...*
Cloud (shuddering): Aw, jeez...
Juno (next to him): What is it, father?
Cloud (flinching): Ah! Don’t scare me like that.
Juno (worryingly): Ah, I apologize. I was just concerned, is all...
Cloud (sighing): Don’t worry, it’s not your fault, it’s just that...I couldn’t help but get the feeling that hundreds - nay, THOUSANDS - of other fighters out there are currently going through the same dilemma as me.
Juno: Ah...I see.
Lucina (walking in): Honey! My parents wish to speak with you!
Cloud (internally): Hoo boy...I hope this goes well...
Juno (smiling): Goodbye, father!
*Cloud walks out*

Hi there. I was wondering in your grimm Adam idea, was Adam going to be with team Rwby or was going to be imprisioned by Iroonwood.
None of the above. It's an AU where Atlas falls while Yang, Jaune, Ren, and the recently de-Grimmified Adam are stuck out in the tundra. The story would focus on them trying to survive the cold, hordes of Grimm, and internal strife while also trying to find and rally survivors.

So, i recently started watching rwby and I completely blame @theangelofangst for this idea, bc it’s basically their evil dadpin au but he just keeps stealing children. 
it starts with oscar - evil ozpin finds the babie, he has his grinch moment, kidnaps oscar to be a dad - but after getting oscar, he keeps finding reasons to bring more children home with him. 
Ozpin just sees a child with minimal (or not) parental supervision and asks “is anyone going to parent that?” and kidnaps them before he gets an answer. 
first its yang and ruby, during that time where yang puts ruby in a wagon to go find raven. ozpin hears baby yang screaming and accidently rescues them because he thought of oscar. he dispels the grimm and is left with a crying blonde 4 year old who’s too busy thanking to nice man to be scared of his appearance and a toddler with silver eyes gnawing on the end of his cane. He does the math: 2 small children - parents in visble area = 2 free playmates for Oscar! and he just snatches them up (possibly where qrow can see for angst) and from there it just keeps happening. 
ozpin originally kidnaps wiess to force her father into doing something and keeps her after learning her sad backstory. 
he finds Ren and Nora on the streets and tosses them over his shoulder like bags of flour
he hears about an incredible child fighter and investigates, only to find out that wtf that’s a six year old. ...My six year old now.
he finds 9 year old jaune arc running away from home and offers his home to the boy. 
(blakes not here bc she has good parents and doesn’t really strife with them until she hooks up with adam. so maybe she’s adopted as a teenager after he abuses her? if so, no more adam, daddy oz slowly tortures him to death)
(want this to be tragic? imagine in this au, it was still salem who killed her and Oz’s kids. Like, Oz was still willing to try to get along with salem until she attacked him for becoming evil and ended up killing their daughters).
Ozpin eventually has to stop doing evil all the time bc he’s too busy teaching his kids at Evil Homeschool, where he teaches them Evil subjects like evil fighting and evil riding grimm into battle and evil math, and he finds that he rather likes teaching.  (Meanwhile, good Salem is brooding into the distance in Beacon, thinking: I haven’t heard anything from my ex-husband in a while... he must be planning something. And then the camera flashes to Oz, who’s trying to stop Oscar and Ruby from eating paint). 
In a more angsty moment, Ty, who is already in a bad state from depression and grief, gets even worse. Qrow throws himself into finding his nieces, even ignoring salem unless he saw Ozpin take them. I like to think Ozpin would still have turned Qrow and Raven into birds in evil ozpin aus, only it would be permanent and only through salem’s powers could they be turned back (but they’re still part bird). Qrow might even strong arm Raven into helping, since he took Yang too. 
But evil is stopped bc Ozpin can’t stop being a dad.

Tifa: It's no problem, Yang. Oh, and by the way?
Yang: Yeah?
Tifa, to Yang:

Strife AU how does Weiss react to Jaune being academically ahead of her in regards to materia and has any of his fellow students asked him about it.
Weiss couldn't believe this. She REFUSED to believe it. Not only did she fail her exam on Materia, but she was recommended tutoring from Arc! The very same dunce who couldn't tell lightning dust from light dust!
But she had to swallow her pride. If not for her grade, then for her future and status as heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. Dust and materia are two sides of the same coin, as her grandfather used to say.
With a sigh, she approached him in the library, where he was reading comic books. Her academic life hinged on this man helping her. Ancestors and dust preserve her.
"Good morning, Arc." She greeted curtly.
He looked up at her. "Oh, hey, Weiss! What's up?"
"I..." She cleared her throat into her fist and let out an exhale. "I need your help."
"Oh, sure!" Jaune closed the book and set it on the table. "What with?"
"I failed my last exam on materia, and I was told that you were the best person for my... improving score. Can you help me?"
"No problem, Weiss!" Jaune stood up. "Let me just grab some books."
"Thank you." Weiss set down her notebook on the table and sat politely near where he was. She glanced at the comic, then rolled her eyes. Of course he was reading comics like 'Tankceratops'. Unfortunately, she had to place faith in a young man who believes that vehicles and dinosaurs are quality subjects to amalgamate into a singular topic.
"Okay, these should be a good start." Jaune said as he came back with three books in his hands, supported by his arms, stacked in a tower. He set them all down, then separated them all from each other. The selection didn't fill her with any form of confidence.
"Materia for Nincompooops."
"Materia Catalogues."
"Materia and You."
The last of the trio was the most insulting, as it featured a white-haired girl with pigtails, bearing a striking resemblance to herself, shocked and amazed by the colorful orbs floating around her. At the bottom, the name of the author proved more insulting.
Written, Illustrated, & Published by Barret T. Wallace
Jaune tapped a finger on the insulting cover. "This is a really good one."

So Cloud is sea sick, Jaune is airsick. Is anyone in the family car sick?
"Well, Vomit Boy?"
Jaune groaned as Yang leaned towards him, eager for an answer. He couldn't believe he was already regretting telling the story his parents shared regarding his hereditary weakness for motion sickness. It made him feel better knowing he wasn't alone with his ailment, especially with someone so close to him.
Unfortunately, not all of his friends share in his sympathy.
"Yang, leave him alone." Ruby pouted. "It's not his fault he throws up on bullheads."
"It does make sense that the reason for all of his vomiting is the result of bad genetics." Blake added.
"Another reason to keep my distance from him on bullheads." Weiss scooted away.
"Oh, he isn't that bad!" Nora shoved against Weiss to move closer to Jaune, bulldozing the heiress. "He's been getting better, thank to Ren!"
"Meditation and herbal medicine can solve most, if not all problems." Ren stated.
'If only he could make the taste bearable.' Pyrrha thought to herself.
"You still haven't answered my question, Jaune." Yang continued to tease. "Do you think your kids will grow up carsick?"
"Well, Yang," Jaune huffed, "I won't know about that until I become a dad. So unless you intend to help figure that out, could you please drop it?"
Jaune let out a sigh of relief. He got his frustration off his chest, and he didn't have to suffer the consequences. He could finally hear himself think with how quiet the group was. He then opened his eyes to find everyone staring at him.
"What?" Jaune turned to see Yang, who was looking down, red-faced. "N-No, wait! I didn't mean-! I-I mean, what I meant was-!"

(Jaune Strife AU) having finally decide it was time for Jaune to stop fighting with the toothpick, having cleaned up his old sword from the cliffside outside his old home, Cloud sends the old Buster Sword to Jaune at Beacon, his friends seeing the weapon tries to lift it but can't and Jaune picks it up like it's light as paper like no problem.
"Woah..." Jaune stared in awe at the weapon on the bench behind the bar. Five feet of steel and about one foot of handle stared at Jaune as he stared back. "Dad's sword."
"Yup," Tifa nodded, "he said he wanted you to give a few swings while he was out trying out some new weapon."
"Dang!" Yang whistled. "That's some hunk of metal on a stick!"
"It's called a-"
"IT'S CALLED A BUSTER SWORD!" Ruby shrieked over Jaune. "This is a weapon that requires a lot of strength to wield! I doubt even you could lift it, Yang!"
"Oh, is that right?" Yang chuckled. "May I?"
"Uh, sure, go ahead." Jaune stepped back.
Yang chuckled as she stepped up. Rubbing her hands, she gripped the handle with both hands and grunted as she tried to lift it.
"Got it!" She shouted, before it wobbled and made her stagger from it's sudden weight change. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
" I gotcha!" Jaune stepped up to catch it.
"JAUNE, NO!" Tifa called out.
But it was too late. The heavy blade bit into Jaune's gloves, and he winced as he felt it cut into his skin.
"You okay?" Yang asked.
"Y-Yeah, just... lower it slowly." Jaune grunted as he and Yang lowered the weapon together. He let out a long sigh as he felt his aura heal him. "Still haven't learned to use aura as a shield." He muttered to himself.
Jaune picked up the sword by the handle and carried it to the table. Ruby and Yang stood in awe at the strength the young man had, as he carried it easily with two hands.
"By the way," Jaune turned to Ruby, clicking a button that separated the blade into two, "it's a fusion sword, not a buster sword."
"Oh, you want to get into semantics, Vomit Boy?" Ruby scowled as she stomped up to him. "I will semantic you under this table!"
Tifa chuckled as she watched as her son was chastised by a girl much younger than him.

[Jaune Strife au] how long before vincent valentine turns up to give Jaune a gun and lessions on how to use it. I'm thinking peacemaker a Colt Single Action Army would be a good gift
"Here, I got this for you."
Jaune took the steel crate from his uncle's hand. It scraped along his claw as Jaune dragged the heavy container until Jaune hefted it off. To say it was heavy would be accurate, but also a grievous understatement of the fact. Jaune had to put his back into keeping it from dragging him down.
"Uh, thanks, Uncle Vince." Jaune carried the box to a nearby table. His father and Uncle Barret watched as he opened the container, revealing a gun. Jaune lifted it out of the box and inspected it. "Wow... Thanks, Uncle Vince!"
"You already said that." Barret chuckled.
"I understand you're not much of a gun user, like your father," Uncle Vincent explained, "but it doesn't hurt to have extra protection."
"Especially if the thing you need protecting from is far away." His father added with a grin on his face.
"Hey, have you guys seen Jaune?" Ruby asked as she entered the bar. "Uncle Qrow and his uncle are arguing again, and I don't want to be the one who-" She then gasped. "IS THAT AN OUTSIDER AP-120?!" Ruby sprinted over in a flurry of petals. "Where did you get that?!"
"My uncle just gave it to me." Jaune chuckled.
"It was one of my older guns, so I cleaned it up and decided to give it to Jaune as an early birthday present." Uncle Vincent explained. "Would you like to attend the target practice?"
"Heck yeah!" Ruby cheered. "Come on! I know just the place!"
"Uh, okay!" Jaune quickly returned the weapon to it's case. After getting a nod from Uncle Vincent, the two followed the girl in the red cape.
"Oy," Barret shook his head, "he really is your kid. Same kinda friends and everything."
Cloud chuckled. He couldn't argue with that.

(Jaune Strife AU) Uncle Vincent decided to stop by and he terrifies everyone. Everyone except the Arcs, even little Adrian is chill with the half-vampire adopted relative. Terra just thinks her in-laws are weird like that.
"Sorry I'm late." Jaune huffed as he passed through the doors.
"About time you got here, kid." Uncle Barret chuckled. "Any later, and he would have grown up on ya!"
"Oh, be nice!" Tifa slugged Barret in the arm. "Jaune, we're glad you made it."
"Yeah!" Aunt Yuffie nodded. "Besides, it's not like the little guy was going anywhere."
"Especially not with how tall, dark, and creepy is holding him." Cid gruffed.
Jaune looked to where his sister and her wife sat at a booth, with his Uncle Vincent sitting between them. In his arms lay a chubby baby who seemed to be watching the pale male with interest.
"Coochie-coo." Uncle Vincent cooed, wiggling his clawed finger at the babe.
"Be careful, Uncle Vincent." Saphron worried.
"He's fine, Saph." Terra waved. "I'm sure your uncle know how to hold a baby."
"When will it be my turn?" Red XIII asked from the other side of the table.
"Uh, well..." Terra scratched her cheek, unsure of how to answer the question.
"So, how's it feel to a grandpa, Cloud?" Uncle Reeves asked, holding a stuffed toy in his arms.
"Not bad." Cloud replied. "Never really thought I'd make it this far, though, having my own kids with their own kids."
Jaune walked up to the table, where his sister and sister-in-law looked to him. He smiled and waved at them, and they all gasped at what happened. The baby reached out with his tiny hands and waved back.
"H-Hi there, uh..." Jaune continued to wave as his face flushed. "What's his name?"
"Adrian." Tifa answered behind her son. "Adrian Cotta-Arc-Strife."
"Kind of a mouthful." Jaune chuckled. "I'll just call him Adrian."
"Well, that is his name." Terra giggled.
Adrian giggled, too, and Jaune felt his heart melt.

How about some Jaune Strife and Yang fluff (I need the positivity at the moment)
Jaune panted as he sat up in his bed. His safe, warm, comfortable bed. He felt around his legs and sighed in relief. No accidents tonight. He looked to the time and saw it was still early.
It was Saturday, which means no classes. He climbed out of bed, accepting that he wasn't going back to sleep any time soon. He shut his eyes and he could still see the fire.
After rushing through his morning routine, he crept out of the dorm. He looked back to his team sleeping soundly. Pyrrha cuddled her pillow, probably dreaming about a crush. Ren slept under undisturbed sheets, envious of how peaceful his sleep was. Nora snored partially into her drool-soaked pillow, her butt pointed high in the air. With a smile, he left without anyone noticing.
"Wassup, Lady Killer?" Jaune flinched and whirled at the voice. Yang smiled in the dimly lit halls at Jaune, giving a small wave to him. "You're up early."
"Y-Yeah." He sighed. "I couldn't sleep." Yang quirked a brow. "I mean, I could- or, well, I did, but..."
"Easy, Vomit Boy." Yang held up a hand. "I'm not going to hurt you."
"Thanks." He took a deep breath. "What are you doing up?"
"I promised your mom I would drop by this morning for some early morning practice." Jaune then noticed the duffel bag. "You wanna join me?"
"Sure." They began walking down the hall. "I kinda need to ask Mom something anyway."
"Like what?" Yang asked, holding back her teasing to avoid him telling Tifa and getting a twenty-minute speed round on the bag.
"I, uh, had a bad dream." Oh, he was making this so hard for her.
"Uh, what, uh-" Yang exhaled to avoid being caught smiling. "What was your dream about?"
"My parents being murdered."
"Oh." That was a hell of a way to shift a mood. Yang was no stranger to nightmares, especially ones involving the death of a parent. The weeks after Summer died were the worst of her young life. She wouldn't call herself an expert on the subject, but she could help with an open ear. She just needed one thing from him. "Do you want to talk about it?"
Jaune was quiet for a long while. He didn't say anything until they were already on the ground floor from the elevator. But the second the doors opened, so did he.
"Yeah, I think it'll help." He swallowed and Yang stayed close the entire walk. "Everything started out dark, but then everything was on fire. I heard a scream, and Mom was on the floor. Then I saw Dad fighting some guy against the flames. He even pulled out his super-move, but then..."
"Jaune?" Yang tapped his balled up hand, and he exhaled. "You good?"
"Yeah." He huffed. "After Dad, then guy came for me. I wanted to run away, but," Jaune shook his head, "I couldn't even move."
"It might have been the sheets."
"Huh?"
"Your bed sheets." Yang explained. "Sometimes when I can't run in my sleep, it's because my legs are wrapped up in my sheets."
"Uh, y-yeah, I guess."
"Sorry, I thought explaining it would help you deal- er, cope with it."
Jaune chuckled as they approached the bullhead station. "You're a terrible therapist."
"At least I'm trying!" Yang pouted, sitting down with a huff.
"I know." He sat next to her. "And I'm glad you're here with me."
The way he smiled at her, and the way he said that, it all made her heart beat faster. Choosing to ignore this feeling, Yang coughed into her fist and looked away.
"Keep going. I'll, uh, look out for a bullhead."
"Well, after that, I just woke up. I don't remember much else."
"What about what he looked like?"
"Well, it was dark-"
"But there was a fire, and your dad fought him using his sword, right?"
"Yeah?"
"Did the other guy catch it with his hand or something?"
"No, he had a sword, too." The memory became clearer to him. "A really long one. Kind of like a katana."
The bullhead docked, and they boarded. Yang rubbed Jaune's back as they departed. He sat next to garbage can furthest from the pilot, as he was scolded to do so many times before. As Yang rubbed, she noticed how broad his back was, and how thick the mucles in her grasp were. Blushing again, she looked away. Jaune didn't throw up this time, which he was proud of.
"Anything else about him?" Yang asked as they left the station. "Was it a him?"
"I think so, yeah." Jaune nodded. "He mumbled something but I can't remember what. His voice was kind of gravelly."
"Anything else?" Yang asked.
"Yeah, but I don't know if you'd believe it if I told you." He shook his head. "I can't even believe it."
"Hit me." Yang said.
"He had a wing."
"Like a Faunus wing?"
"No, his was," Jaune scrunched his brow, "bigger, and not part of his arm. And he only had one."
"Hm..." Yang rounded the corner, now a block away from their destination. "Sounds like a wuss to me."
"Huh?"
"This guy in your dream. He sounds really pathetic, when you think about it. I mean, he has a really long katana, a deep, gravelly voice, and only one wing. It sounds like a guy who's always losing."
"But my dad-"
"Was probably caught off guard. It was dark, right? He probably snuck up on him in the shadows instead of fighting like a real man." She punched his shoulder. "Heck, you could probably beat him, so there's nothing to worry about!"
"Thanks, Yang." They stopped in front of the bar/training gym. Jaune hugged her, giving a good squeeze with it. "For everything."
"N-No problem." Yang felt light-headed, but in a good way. The warm hug reminded her a lot of the ones back home. The ones she got from her dad... and her mom. She returned the hug with hum.
"Ahem!" The two separated as Tifa glared at the two of them, but mostly at Yang. ESPECIALLY Yang. "Jaune, I'm glad you came to visit. Yang, you're late."
"Oh, really, I, uh-"
"It's my bad, Mom." Jaune spoke up. "Yang was helping me with something, so we kind of got distracted."
"Mm, alright." Tifa turned away. "Your father is still asleep, so we'll try to keep it down."
After she walked inside, Yang let out a sigh. "Thanks for the save."
"No problem." Jaune smiled. "You'd save me if I needed it, right?"
"Yeah." Yang smiled back. "Yeah, I would."

Strife AU has Jaune ever used Materia before like maybe he has an armlet under his hoodie with Materia in it. it's just he has never used it in combat he only has Healing Materia and Magnify Materia for healing himself and others but it doesn't heal aura so he hasn't used it in combat class. until someone gets hurt in a dust class and Jaune start casting cure on everyone as an idea
Jaune yawned as Professor Port droned on with Dust Theory and Practice. He normally would be all eyes and ears on the subject, as little of an affect on his fighting style as it had compared to the other students, but he was up late, training with his mom and Yang again. Six hours of sleep was a schedule he was used to, but his body ached, almost begging him to return to his dorm to sleep off his pain.
Glancing over to the other side of the classroom, his sparring partner fared no better. Yang was out. Down for the count. He watched as Ruby try to shake her awake, only getting her snoring as an answer. It wasn't a loud snore, which is why Professor Port allowed it. If Yang wasn't disrupting class or distracting other students, then she would just have to study harder later.
"Of course, as you know," Professor Port twisted the edge of his mustache, "Dust isn't the only natural resource we use for combat purposes. Can anyone tell me what the other mineral resource I am referring to is."
That would be Materia. It's a rarer mineral, due to excessive mining performed years ago, threatening the planet with total annihilation. There should be zoning laws in place now, forbidding mining companies from digging too close to possible Life Stream chambers, as a result of this.
"Well done, Mr. Arc!" The bulky professor bellowed. "You've clearly been reading ahead on this material, haven't you?"
...Oh, he said that out loud, didn't he? Well, all eyes were on him now, so he might as well follow up with how he knows. The only person not watching him was Yang.
"Actually, Professor, my parents use Materia in their weapons." Jaune explained. "All of my family does, actually. They were involved in the crisis years ago, so they're huge advocates for the environment."
"Mhm, I see!" The professor nodded. "So which is better?"
"Materia, obviously."
Weiss snaps pencil and shrieks. "EX-CUSE ME?!" That woke him up. "Do you honestly think these magic rocks from 'the Life stream,' as you call it, are any better than the science behind the scientific research and development of Dust?!"
"Well... yeah." Jaune answered, causing Weiss to grow more and more red in the face with her anger.
"Simmer down, Miss Schnee. If you'd please." Professor Port waved his hands down in an attempt to calm her.
Yang yawned as she lifted her head and rubbed her eyes. She looked around, finding Weiss glaring daggers at Jaune as she huffed. She turned to her sister. "What did I miss?"
