Summary
Yang falls into the void. Then Ruby. Then Blake. Fighting alone against Cinder, the last living member of Team RWBY puts every ounce of Dust and Aura she has into a Time Dilation glyph. But instead of going out in a blaze of glory like she expects, Weiss finds herself on the airship to Beacon, back at the start of everything.
This is a story told from the perspective of everyone else, as they meet Weiss Schnee for the second first time. Weiss's original world and all her old relationships are gone, washed away like footprints on the shore. But that doesn't mean she can't retrace them.
Inspired by this Twitter/X post: https://twitter.com/rubyfinallyrose/status/1706350224040411428?s=20

Summary
A sleepy town in the Atlas countryside needs help with a routine Huntsman job, and who better to help than newly minted professional Huntresses, Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee?
Weiss has grappled with self-doubt for over a year. A second chance is all she wants. But is it what she really deserves? Can she really trust herself not to hurt the people she loves a second time?
All Ruby has ever wanted was to be a professional Huntress. But what does that really mean? Can she live up to her dreams, now that she's finally achieved? And does she really want to?
Set during the Atlas montage in V7. No knowledge of Monstress required, but minor spoilers for V1 of that as well.

Summary
There’s nothing left of Hitori’s iced tea when Ryo finally looks up from the notebook and says, “I’ll be honest.”
Hitori braces herself. No going back now.
“It’s going to be funny watching Ikuyo sing about herself, especially with lyrics like these.”
(Hitori can't confess her feelings to Kita, so she writes them down instead.)

Summary
Weiss looked up at her, eyes big and bright, lips parted, skin flushed. Ruby panted, her heart thudding loudly against her ribs. Tension sizzled just below her skin, making her stomach tighten. “Weiss.” She whispered. She was all full of nervous energy, movements jerky and awkward, filling her with the need to move. “Can- can I. Touch you?”
.
Alt Volume 8 ending.
Atlas falls. Ruby blames herself, but Weiss helps her feel better.

Summary
Mercury is eight when his father joins up with Salem's faction and takes a post in Vale, and it takes him no time at all to decide that he hates every last thing about the city except for maybe this green-haired pickpocket.
Emerald's never had a friend before, and she really should know better than to start with this angry weirdo who ruined her latest heist.
Or, two murder children learn to protect and care for each other while growing up in genuinely awful circumstances.
Featuring snark, gratuitous literary references, and misdemeanors galore, this is the Partners in Crime childhood best friends AU that I hope to god somebody asked for.

Summary
A Ruby-Penny swapped-at-birth Nuts and Dolts AU.
Ruby is raised within the confines of the Atlas Military as Ironwood’s anti-grimm pocket nuke. Penny, alone and adrift upon waking up memory-less on Beacon’s campus, gravitates towards its student body, because even if she already knows how to fight, the school has much to teach her.
Remnant isn’t ready for Atlas Ruby and Beacon Penny, but here they come.
(Note: this story was inspired by AirForceMuffin's story of the same name, which was posted in 2021, then removed later. They are now posting a new version of the same story, with the same name. We apologize for the confusion.)
