AU where Salem's most evil deed is that she wears Crocs.
Mercury: WHAT ARE THOOOOOOSE???? Salem: ...Cinder my dear, my trust in you to choose sensible disciples wanes by the day. Cinder: Yes mistress, I regret recruiting him more and more by the day... Salem: I mean, honestly, who doesn't like Crocs? They're easy to put on and more comfortable than they're given credit for! Cinder: That's... really not the issue here. Salem: It most certainly is!

Remnants of RWBY: Vytal Festival - Day 3: Alternate Universes
@remnants-of-rwby-events
The next offering is part of the Becoming AU, the Crack Taken Seriously fic where Ruby is mistakenly believed to be a Beacon professor by the rest of the school and Ozpin rolls with it. Antics ensue. But you don't need to read it to understand this chapter, which will probably be posted 2 weeks after to AO3.
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
-------------------------------------------
Becoming AU / Perspective: Jaune
After Forever Fall, Cardin makes the mistake of disparaging Crocea Mors within Ruby's earshot.
------
It had been an...awkward couple of weeks after Forever Fall.
He had expected Cardin to leave him alone after saving his life. He did not expect him to try and get all friendly instead. It was just extremely awkward, having Cardin try to include him in all of his team's activities and you know pretend like the whole blackmailing stuff never happened.
What's worse was that Cardin was genuinely sincere about these invitations too, which made it really hard to decline.
His team noticed too. And Nora was really getting hyped up on breaking Cardin's legs this time around, and no one believed him when he said that Cardin was trying to be nice instead of bullying him.
Which was why he was in this situation now. In the middle of the hallway, stuck making small talk with Cardin and the rest of his team, under the watchful eye of Ren and Nora a classroom away.
As for Pyrrha, well, she was suffering with him. Even her normally brilliant smile started to dim after fifteen minutes of this awkward situation - what could she do when Cardin was genuinely trying to be nice?
Well, at least his team won't think Cardin's trying to bully him anymore.
“I’m telling you that I’m perfectly fine with a sword and shield. It’s what I practice with, it’s what I know,” Jaune said wearily, mostly just wanting this conversation to end.
Unfortunately, Cardin didn’t want to comply with his silent wishes.
“Look. You could definitely do better. Your sword and shield’s boring, outdated, and probably needs to retire in a museum somewhere. I know a couple shops where you can get a discou-” Any further words Cardin wanted to say seem to have gotten caught in his throat. Cardin's gaze was no longer on him but past his arm, where he caught a couple of red fading petals blowing in from behind.
That’s when Ruby just walked past him - from wherever she came from - and straight towards Cardin. He couldn't see her face, but from the way she was trembling, Ruby was not happy.
“Y-you’re kidding, right?” The normal bubbliness in Ruby’s voice was replaced with so much incredulity and anger that he believed Ruby had beef with Cardin over something unrelated entirely. Enough that Pyrrha and he immediately walked to their side, instinctively prepared to defuse the situation.
At least until she dropped the bombshell.
“..Y-you’re seriously insulting Crocea Mors?”
Seeing the intensity in Ruby’s steel eyes was scary - almost like watching a cat about to pounce a mouse. And Cardin clearly thought so too because he stumbled trying to step back and knocked into the wall behind him.
It always confused him as to why Cardin would try his very best to avoid Ruby after his duel with her, despite Ruby losing that fight. Actually, it was a little funny that Mr. Tough Guy was so afraid of shy, cheerful Ruby.
...But looking at the slightly unhinged look in the younger girl's eyes, he’s starting to have an idea why.
“I-I-I wasn’t…” Cardin stuttered to the amazement of the other members of his team.
Ruby forwardly just stepped up and placed her hands on Cardin’s shoulders, which looked a little comical given that the guy had over a foot of height on her.
“...Crocea Mors isn’t a weapon that you can ridicule,” Ruby whispered in dead seriousness, “It survived at least three generations in a Huntsman’s family. It survived the Great War. And it’ll probably survive you too.”
He’s…pretty sure Ruby didn’t say ‘and that might be sooner rather than later' but oh boy did he feel it. And from the deer-in-headlights look Pyrrha’s giving him, she felt it too.
“H-h-hey. Come on now. Let's not fight over that antique -” Russel remarked with a genial smile, sliding between Cardin and Ruby to try and make peace. And that smile wilted immediately after Ruby turned to him with a blank expression. Hell, even his mohawk looked like it wilted too.
Gotta give him props though.
What a true friend.
“That antique was made with the best that Vacuoian steel-forging and Vale’s blacksmithing had to offer!” Ruby scathingly replied as she pushed Cardin away and stalked over to Russel, “Even today, blacksmiths and fabricator machines could only hope to match Crocea Mors’s durability and sharpness.
“You wanna pit Shortwings against it for a couple hundred swings?” Ruby stomped a foot down and swung her arm to punctuate her point, “I will bet any amount of Lien that Shortwings shatters first!”
Russell vigorously shook his head as quickly as he could - like a grade schooler knowing he did wrong. Unfortunately for him, it's clear Ruby was determined to hammer the lesson home.
“More importantly,” Ruby lowered her voice once more, “that antique had more thought put into it than most weapons today.”
“Crocea Mors was created specifically with the hope that its wielder would survive the Great War,” Ruby confidently declared, “And to do that, it was made to be both strong and reliable. Do you know what sand or water does to intricate mechanisms? It gums them up and then makes them useless.”
“Now of course, I built Crescent Rose here with a wicking system to deal with that,” Ruby affectionately added with a pat to the collapsed weapon hiding behind her cape, “but back then, who would know how to make that kind of mod?”
“Furthermore, whatever joints Crocea Mors had were made so well that the shield appears seamless when deployed,” Ruby lectured on, clearly calmer after her brief aside about her own weapon. It still didn’t stop her from prodding Russel’s chest every couple words though. “And as strong as every other part of the shield too.”
So entranced he and Pyrrha were by this super assertive version of Ruby that they didn’t even realize Cardin and the rest of his team had already skedaddled. Only when Russel desperately gazed over at where Cardin was - and the indignant disbelief in the guy’s eyes - did they realize that the rest of team CRDL was just gone.
“Do you know which kingdoms preferred guerilla and ambush tactics the most? Mantle and Mistral!" Ruby continued on, gaining steam again, “Under those circumstances, a sheath that turns into a heater shield is a brilliant idea! Not to mention there’s a robust spring-loaded mechanism that can deliver a counter blow when the shield is deployed or even create a makeshift barricade to block a narrow passage.”
"As for the sword, its excellence speaks for itself," Ruby then huffed as she closed in on a shrinking Russel, "but if you had any proper weapon knowledge, we wouldn’t be here right now."
“Keeping an edge that keen over three generations - an edge that can cleanly decapitate an Ursa Major in one swing - is a testament to both the blacksmith’s metalworking and Jaune’s family who maintained it well.”
…Well, now he was feeling guilty again about stealing Crocea Mors from the family.
“Heck! Given how old this "antique" is, chances are it cut down someone who would’ve ended up killing your ancestors, giving you the opportunity to say such ignorant words today. ” Ruby continued on, “Really! You should be calling Crocea Mors your Granddadd- Wait Pyrrha, what are you-”
Pyrrha had begun pulling the younger girl up and away from Russel, elbows latched underneath the other girl’s armpits.
Yeah, probably a good place to end things.
It still didn’t stop Pyrrha or himself from trying to stifle a laugh at the uncharacteristic Yang-like insult.
Definitely sisters, alright.
Still staring at Russel and being restrained by Pyrrha, Ruby frowned as she nudged her head towards him, “Come on, Jaune! He’s insulting your weapon! You should be defending Crocea Mors's honor!”
“Errr…Ruby, I actually didn’t know all tha-”
Pyrrha shook her head violently, mouthing the word no.
Russel, from the corner of his eyes, looked at him with an expression of gratefulness.
Ruby slowly turned her head towards him.
Oh. Crap.

Disconnect:
Fighting Neo who had obtained the Summer Maiden's powers required her to pull out all the stops and more.
She drew the Maiden away from Vacuo while the rest of her team dealt with the hoard of Grimm that Salem attracted over.
And then she fought for her life.
I learned today that Tumblr posts are limited to only 100 inline links. I also learned that if I keep doing this I will probably vomit blood.
I think what I'll do later is just dedicated mod posts for the AUs, though Mod Green will probably need 1 or 2 or 3 posts lol.
I've been skipping one / two-liners mostly. But if you really want to seek them, you can use the mod's personal tag to search for them.
Currently, the post range of this post is March 24th 2021 to November 15th 2019.

So is blog kind of dead?
Kinda. Aha.
For me, I just had the sudden urge to write and maybe finish some things. Who knows? Maybe this'll inspire the rest of the gang to come back too. 8)
Not sure what I wanna write though. Maybe my preferred genre, crack taken seriously. Aha.
mod lilac
Currently stopped at March 24, 2021. Will continue going through them. These are organized by mod and put in reverse chronological order (most recent). Once I see writings of a mod, I'll add the mod name there such as Mod Red, Mod Violet, Mod Pink etc.
Posts I've reviewed will have the mod name tagged in if it wasn't already added.
Warning that I don't know a lot of the crossovers.
I may start putting like a tag for post length cause some are like less than 30 words while some are huge. Any ideas for a good cutoff for small, medium, large?
Posts under the cut. - mod lilac
I have grossly underestimated this task. Batgirl Emerald AU probably needs a whole post dedicated to it. Aha. - mod lilac
I’ve been scavenging in the oldest rwby content I could find and finding this blog makes me both sad (because I’m practically finding a abandoned chocolate factory with dozens of chocolates I’ll soon or later finish, making me sad since this fun ride isn’t continuing) and happy (because I have lots of chocolate)
Hope all the mods are doing well
Thank you for the well wishes.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna try to organize this place a little more. Make the chocolates somewhat easier to fine.
Kinda of something I mentioned I'd do a couple years ago, but well... better late than never. Aha. - mod lilac
Have any of the mods kept up with Volume 9?
Most of us have, yes.
Though we are a little bit divided over certain elements of it, for the most part those of us who saw it loved it.

Are the mods well?
Well I'm doing pretty well, personally. Been writing fanfic, playing some good games.
-Mod Yellow
Heyooo. I'm doing well here too. Mostly been busy with work and then roleplaying and drawing my OCs in my spare time. Haven't done much fanfic writing in the interim, though I should - writing silly premises for RWBY is always fun. 8)

What if volume 9 was just a whole hour montage of Jaune running around shouting "lets go lesbians lets go"
With how small that island could be, it would be good daily exercise for the 6 of them to just run around. And whatever works to motivate them into doing it...
And let me just say, btw, so glad to see a new ask.
So, uh...
How about that RT controversy?
no comment.
I miss you

Rest in Peace @osiria-arts
Premise:
--Thank you for Avistar123 in the FS server for inspiring the hopeful part of this piece. And the rest of the FS server for convincing me to post this mostly incomplete piece. Aha. This is a pretty long one and one I'm proud of. Also Nuts n Dolts.
Premise is that Penny dies during the fight in Atlas, and Ruby uses the power of the Relic of Creation to create a Dream World where Penny lives and there were no Grimm or Wars - just a world where everyone could be happy - an ideal world.
However, as everyone lived their ideal life in the Dream World, time is still ticking in the Real World very slowly. Ruby happily lives in the Dream World with Penny, living a life she could never live. Others live in a similar way. However, Penny could not let Ruby suffer the same fate as herself - wasting her life away and dying for what she knew was just a dream.
She convinces Ruby with difficulty to let go. And with the Relic of Creation, Ruby ends the Dream she created.
The world returns back to the moment where the Dream World was created, Ruby the only one in her team remembering what she did. However, no one could've predicted the side effect. Two days had passed in the real world, and in that time, everyone who died in that span of time simply dropped dead when time reversed.
In the span of two days, a good quarter of civilization was lost.
And it was all her fault.
But she'll make it right. She had to make it right.
-mod lilac
End of the Beginning:
This world which she tried so hard to save had become her waking nightmare. Every night she closed her eyes, she could see the people they’ve lost, their gazes accusing her. They weren’t wrong. This terrible shell of what used to be a beautiful world was her fault. She’s failed everyone. She failed her team. She failed Penny.
“Jinn. How do I fix what I’ve done?” Ruby asked one night, everyone asleep except her.
The genie spoke quietly, her words inaudible to everyone but her in frozen time.
Ruby’s eyes opened in shock at the solution before narrowing in grim determination.
