EreJaune, Jaunekasa, ArcStein (JeanJaune)
Do you see my vision here?
Not only do I see your vision, I’m the one who gave you the glasses
Papa Arc: ... I never wanted you to become a huntsman, Jaune.
Jaune: ...
Papa Arc: *sad smile* Not because i don't believe in you, but because i thought you were like your mom. *Chuckle* She would go straight into danger, acting like a reckless fool.
Jaune: ...
Papa Arc: I... I was always proud of you... But i also was too afraid of you getting hurt. I tried to be a good father, but i know i failed you.
Jaune: ...
Papa Arc: *sigh* When i learned you passed initiation, i should have jumped in joy, tell you i was proud... But instead, i just cut the bridge, trying to guilt trip you into coming back home.
Jaune: ...
Papa Arc: *gritting his teeth* If i had let you follow your dream, if i had trained you... *Tearing up* Would you still be silent or would you tell me all about your friends, as you always did when you came back from school? Would we be fishing at the river, like we used to!?
Jaune: ...
Papa Arc: *looking up at the cold statue covered in flower, its smile giving no warmth to the grieving father* Son... *Sobbing* I miss you so much...
This reminds me of something @pilot-boi
Pilot, I know you primarily bully Jaune. But would you mind having a go at Papa Arc talking to the Vacuo mural? An Archive of Our Own, a pro

Ceo Fusion Aesthetic!
I can’t remember if I called her the ultimate girlboss before because her name is literally CEO, but if I didn’t say it when I posted her I’m saying it now
Does it stand for something like Cecilia Esmerae Oleander or is it just CEO like her birth certificate and legal ID just say CEO and that's what her friends and family call her?
No yeah her name is CEO. Like DIO. All caps, that’s her name lol
Ceo Fusion Aesthetic!
I can’t remember if I called her the ultimate girlboss before because her name is literally CEO, but if I didn’t say it when I posted her I’m saying it now
Would a Jaune/oscar fusion be named Jauscar or Parc?
I'd probably go with Jauscar, cause there's a phonetic overlap there with Jau- and o-
Parc is very cute though, because he's a farm boy
Frosen Steel Fusion Aesthetic!
Look at them!!! Look at the girl(s)!!!
Brooo it's been a hot minute since the last Fusion AU aesthetic, I missed these
hey so i just read the post for fae-u that the narrative triggers by "weight" and im just thinking what could hapen if jaune chooses to make the ultimate sacrifice? is there anything that is not on the table? that seems to be the most "weighty" moment in narratives 👀👀👀
That’s definitely a very “weighty” kind of moment and it would VERY MUCH have big effects, but it doesn’t work like a cheat code where he can just cash it in for anything he wants
The Narrative doesn’t reward sacrifice with power. It responds to what the sacrifice represents. And with Jaune specifically, that kind of moment would hit very hard because it lines up with his roles. Soldier (putting himself between others and harm), Poet (meaning, finality), King (protecting people)
So if he chose to make that kind of sacrifice, the story would absolutely take it seriously. But that doesn’t mean “anything is on the table.” It means the outcome would be something that fits the story being told.
Things like buying time when there shouldn’t be any left, ensuring someone else survives, or turning a loss into something that MEANS something, not rewriting reality on a whim. The Narrative isn’t a wish-granting system, it’s a storytelling one.
There is actually a moment like that in THE PLOT TM, near the end of a fight with Cinder. Jaune does something that, from his perspective, is basically a death sentence. He’s not expecting to walk away from it. It’s very much a “if this works, someone else lives, and that’s enough” kind of decision
And the Narrative reads that for what it is, that’s part of why it works at all. Not because he “earned a power-up blah blah blah,” but because the moment had the right kind of weight behind it. It lined up with the roles, the stakes, and the intent
The story took it seriously… and responded in a way that matched that
So yeah if he ever hits a true “ultimate sacrifice” moment, it’s not that anything becomes possible, it’s that whatever DOES happen is going to matter a lot, and it’s going to fit the story
Which might not necessarily be comforting for all of you ;]

I wonder if people who are more in-tuned with Aura and or the spiritual could detect the hints of Fea on Jaune. Like some old fortune teller seeing that Jaune if favored by fate or something like that or Ren being able to see afterimages of Jaune's time in the Everafter
Ren definitely can’t see Jaune’s time in the Ever After. His Semblance lets him read emotions, not memories or alternate timelines or anything like that. He’s not suddenly clairvoyant just because Jaune's weird now lol
That said, Jaune does read WEIRD to him. Not in a “I can see the Ever After” way, but in a “this does not behave like a normal person’s emotional state” way
His emotions don’t always line up cleanly. Calm sitting on top of exhaustion, determination without the usual spikes of fear, pain that’s present but not escalating the way it should. And when Jaune leans into one of his roles, it gets more obvious. The emotional read simplifies, almost, like everything unnecessary has been stripped away.
A fortune teller or someone working more on instinct, symbolism, or “fate” though? Yeah, they’d absolutely pick up on something.
Not specifics. Not “oh you went to the Ever After and came back changed.” More like: “you’re standing in the middle of something unfinished”. They wouldn’t see what happened to him, but they could probably see that the story hasn’t let go of him
He’d read as lucky in the worst possible way (jsut like in canon lol)
So in the Fea-U in order to prevent a paradox would the Narrative exist in Remnant before Jaune returned from the Everafter and thus alter the stories or others in order to facilitate Jaune falling in the first place? Like would it make Atlas and Mantle king-less in order to force Ironwood (Soldier/Poet) Jacques (Poet) and Robin (Poet/Soldier) into the roll of king knowing that they're not meant for the role and thus force Jaune into the Everafter when the narrative punished the three of them for that?
Not at all!
As I said when I explained what roles the others have, there are plenty of other people who fulfill the role of King. Cause that wasn't a "well this person would be a King if Jaune didn't exist." Nope. They ARE King
The Narrative isn’t going back and rearranging Remnant to make Jaune happen. It’s not setting up a paradox or rewriting history to force him into the Ever After. He was gonna fall in anyway
Ironwood, for example, very clearly sits in Soldier/King. He leads, he commands, he takes responsibility for protection and structure. (he's also a fascist, but that's unrelated lol)
Jacques is more Poet/King. He shapes narratives, controls perception, defines reality through influence and image, even if it’s… not exactly in a healthy way
Robyn is a really clean King. She represents her people, creates a sense of shared structure, and acts as a focal point for others to rally around.
“King” here isn’t about literal crowns, it’s about being a point of structure, someone the story can organize people around. Jaune isn't special cause he's the only King, he's special cause he all three roles at the same time without oscillating between them
Most people sit pretty cleanly in one role, maybe two if things get messy. Jaune overlapping all three is what makes the Narrative pay attention to him the way it does. And the Narrative isn’t really punishing people for being in the “wrong” role so much as it pushes things toward resolution when something doesn’t fit cleanly
For example, when it was making things happen in the Ever After when Jaune wasn't accepting the King role, it wasn't punishing him for being in the "wrong" role, it was more like... showing him what happens to a world where there ISN'T a narrative focal point. The instability wasn’t the punishment, it was the absence of something the story expects to be there: Jaune
Thank you for your long post, it was absolutely delightful to read!
Can people give him titles, and if so are there limits/requirements to them? Do titles affect him? On a related note, does how people refer to him in relation to themselves matter, such as if Cinder were to name him her enemy or say he was a bane to her existence, does the Narrator take note and affect how he can respond/try to lead him to fulfill that role for the person? (Making it clear, not trying to make it romance related at all, more so roles like Friend, Rival, Bane and similar).
We have seen the King and the Poet come up and be relevant as roles, but what has changed for him since he became the Soldier? What binds him by that title, since a King is a proper host and a Bard speaks truth?
Which of his enemies know about part of or fully about his state? What gives it away the most when it comes to him, other than his glamor dropping?
And finally - how annoying is it for him/others with him to enjoy a movie or book since their tropes and likely story is revealed to him? (Since you like to make him suffer, I thought this 'benefit' was fitting :p)
Holy shit dude. Okay, gonna answer this in pieces
--------
TITLES
People can give him titles, yeah, but they only really matter if they actually mean them. A goofy nickname or something said as a joke isn’t gonna do much. The Narrative doesn’t care about the words themselves, it cares about the intent behind them. A title only sticks if someone is treating it like it’s true
The more weight behind it, the more the Narrative pays attention. How seriously it’s said, how often it’s repeated, how strongly the person believes it, all of that factors in. And if multiple people start calling him the same thing, that matters a lot more. At that point it stops being one person’s opinion and starts looking like a role the story expects him to fill (That's where King of the Story came from, the Afterans called him that)
On the flip side, how people define him in relation to themselves can absolutely matter too, especially if they’re someone who’s already tied closely to him in the story. The Narrative pays more attention to those connections
So if someone like Cinder calls him her enemy, or a bane to her existence, that’s not just a label it’s her defining a relationship, and the Narrative LIKES relationships
It doesn’t force him to act a certain way, but it does start to nudge things in that direction. It’s less “you are this now” and more “the story is going to keep trying to make this true.” The more people believe it, and CRITICALLY the more he acts like it’s TRUE, the harder it is to break out of
--------
SOLDIER
The Soldier is a little different from the King and the Poet, because it’s less about rules and more about purpose.
The King is about structure. The Poet is about truth. The Soldier is about intervention.
The Soldier exists to stand between harm and other people. Not to win. Not to look impressive. Not even necessarily to succeed. Just to be there, in the way of it.
So for Jaune, it shows up less as new abilities and more as a shift in instinct. He moves to cover people without thinking about it. He puts himself in the path of things. He takes hits he probably shouldn’t survive, not because he’s invincible, but because the story expects him to hold the line.
He still feels pain. It doesn’t get dulled or ignored. It just… stops being a stopping point. Pain becomes something he goes through, not something that makes him stop.
In combat, especially against Grimm, he doesn’t really fight like a duelist anymore. It’s less about skill expression and more about removing a threat, direct, efficient, almost clinical in a way that’s a little unsettling if you know him. He fights like a knight slaying a monster, they're things to be REMOVED not fought
It has limits. It doesn’t override exhaustion, it doesn’t make him invincible, and it doesn’t let him ignore damage forever. And it behaves very differently depending on what he’s fighting. Against Grimm, it leans all the way in. That’s a clean story: monster, threat, removal. Against people, it pulls back unless someone else is directly threatened.
The Soldier isn’t there to win the fight. It’s there to endure and make sure people survive it.
--------
ENEMIES
As of where I've written up to, Cinder knows the worst of it (mostly the name/titles and circle stuff). Mercury knows, too, but THE PLOT has given him a tail switch and he's not a baddie anymore (good for him). Salem suspects some stuff, cause she's been around a long enough time to recognize fairytale logic, but she doesn't know much of anything (mostly because he's not excatly a priority lol). Thank fucking CHRIST Tyrian doesn't know anything cause he'd be a DISASTER
The stuff that gives it away the most other than the glamour slipping (which is yeah, pretty obvious lol) is probably the stuff with names. Mostly because it's a pretty normal thing for Jaune to encounter (it's not like people are sut carrying around cold iron with them). But someone casually saying his name and him straightening and the sunlight highlighting him like "this is someone to pay attention to" isn't exactly SUBTLE
There are other little things too. He falls into patterns without meaning to, conversations land a little too cleanly around him, people notice him at the exact right moment even if they weren’t before. None of it is super obvious on its own, but once you start putting it together, it’s… noticeable
--------
BOOKS/MOVIES
Oh it is so annoying lol
Jaune cannot watch anything normally anymore. Like he’ll sit down, get maybe ten minutes in, and then just go “…oh that guy’s gonna betray them.” And everyone else is like JAUNE PLEASE-
It’s not even that he’s trying to figure it out, it’s just… obvious to him now. He’s not analyzing the story, the story is just lining itself up in a way that makes sense to him. Setups feel like setups. Foreshadowing feels loud. Character arcs are basically wearing name tags.
The worst part is he’s not always right in a “plot summary” way, but he’s right in a story logic way. So he’ll say things like: “That’s not gonna work, it’s too easy.” “No one important has paid for anything yet.” “That promise is going to come back later.” And everyone else is just sitting there like >:|
Movies are bad, but books are worse. Mostly because books rely on more old-fashioned tropes/themes than movies do. He’ll just stop mid-chapter like “…they’ve mentioned that ring three times.”
The only time he actually enjoys something is when the story doesn’t follow the rules he expects. Plot twists don’t get him anymore. But something that breaks structure? That’ll get him to sit up like “Wait hold on-”
Also he has to be actively banned from saying anything during movies now
He’s not allowed to comment. He’s not allowed to "just one thing-" He’s not allowed to pause the movie. He is, however, allowed to be physically threatened if he starts going “okay but NARRATIVELY-”
On the bright side, he’s incredible at guessing endings. On the downside, he can’t turn it off lol
So yeah. Great skill. Super fun. Definitely not ruining his ability to enjoy literally any story ever
Does the glimmer affect Jaune’s perception? (like does it trick him too?) and if not would he be able to see through Emerald’s semblance now?
Oh it totally affects his perception, too. Jaune doesn't really CONTROL his glamour per se, it's kind of an after effect of the Ever After. It’s not something he’s actively maintaining. It’s more like the default state the Narrative keeps him in. He’s not holding it up. It just… holds, until it doesn’t.
So when his glamour is up and he looks in the mirror he sees normal Jaune, not "Jaune with antlers and rabbit ears and blah blah blah". Also, when the glamour is up, the traits are literally not there. So like... it's not one of those things where you just can't SEE the traits but they're actually still there. When the glamour is up if someone waved their hand over his head it wouldn't hit ears or antlers. They're literally not there right now
When he’s really exhausted, though, the glamour can start to slip. Not because he’s dropping it on purpose, but because the situation stops being… neat enough for it to hold. The cleaner the scene, the easier it is to smooth him over. The rougher it gets (stress, exhaustion, serious injury, sickness), the more the truth starts showing through
So no, he can’t see through Emerald’s Semblance. He’s just as affected by perception-based stuff as anyone else
I have mentioned in PJB where Jaune’s brand new dust-steel armor just keeps rusting, without losing any tensile strength. This is due to the Blacksmith naming him as “The Rusted Knight.” Would something like this be true in Fae-U? It would track with the Soldier and Poet parts of the story imo.
Yeah this is pretty much spot on. Even in (my version of) canon, Jaune's new armor that he gets in the Ever After (cause the stuff he's wearing in V9 isn't his normal stuff) starts rusting basically as soon as he puts it on because the Ever After knows that he's the Rusted Knight and it needs him to look the part.
Time is already bullshit there, it doesn't care about oxidation rates, it cares about a character being in the correct costume. And that absolutely carries over into Fae-U, because that kind of thing is very much in line with how the Narrative treats him
The Soldier and Poet roles both reinforce it, just in slightly different ways (Soldier more than Poet)
From the Soldier side, rust reads as wear. Use. Time spent fighting. It’s a visual shorthand for experience and endurance. The armor looks like it’s been through things, just like its wearer, even if it hasn’t actually had the time to get that way yet
From the Poet side, it’s symbolism. “The Rusted Knight” isn’t just a title, it’s an image, and the Narrative likes keeping its imagery consistent. The armor rusting isn’t about chemistry, it’s about matching the story being told about him
It’s also why it doesn’t actually weaken the armor. The Narrative cares about the appearance and the meaning, not necessarily the mechanics. Physics doesn't hold a huge sway over any of this lol

FaeU ask:
Sorry if you’ve clarified this already, but when you said Jaune fits into the roles of Soldier, Poet and King did you mean he fit into all of them, or just king since you mentioned he’s wearing a crown?
Also what do you think the other members of team rwby or jnpr would fit into?
Jaune fits into all of them, King is just a bit of a special case
Most people touch one role strongly, sometimes two situationally. Almost no one aligns cleanly with all three. Jaune does. Unlike most people, Jaune doesn't SHIFT between roles, he holds them simultaneously. This is why the Ever After shaped him into the Rusted Knight instead of rejecting or breaking him
The crown works kind of like a focus, forcing the Narrative to focus on HIM instead of spilling out onto other people. THIS is the real reason why the Narrative (all the fae rules and bullshit) pretty much only effects HIM, because Jaune is CHOOSING to make it all focus on him (because of course he is) By wearing the crown, he is CHOOSING to be the King, making the Narrative shine its spotlight on him and not mess with anyone around him
The crown was also something he started wearing in the Ever After after he was instinctively rejecting the role of King. This was Jaune Arc at the lowest point of his life, he didn't feel like he deserved to be a leader, he didn't feel like he deserved to be responsible for people. The Narrative wasn't a fan of that
Because Jaune fit Soldier / Poet / King too perfectly, the Ever After stopped asking him to lead and started enforcing the role. When he tried to refuse leadership people were hurt “offscreen”, plans collapsed without him, and responsibility just boomeranged back harder
Not as punishment. CORRECTION. The Ever After’s logic was basically "If you are the King and you do not rule, the realm suffers. If the realm suffers, the King is at fault."
Jaune didn’t start wearing the crown because he wanted authority. He wore it because it made the punishment stop and made other people stop getting hurt "on his watch". The crown focuses narrative pressure and makes it so consequences attach directly to him
As for what roles the rest of the gang would fit into (Would it surprise you at all to know I already have this worked out? lol)

Mercury (ooooo plot things!!): Soldier
Highly efficient, practical, and results-oriented
Prioritizes getting through a situation over meaning or morality
Fights cleanly and directly, no flourish, no symbolism, just function
If there's anyone else you wanna know about (even hypothetical people who logically wouldn't be involved in this AU), or clarification on any of these, jsut ask!
In the Fae-u, is Jaune bound to be a good guest in the same way he is a good host? If for example he was given food, even if it is poisoned, can he refuse? Or does he have to eat it, much like Cu Chulainn was bound to eat the dog meat he was given?
As an inverse, if someone comes to him with a message or a summons, can he hurt the messenger considering how big of a taboo it was?
What I'm getting at, can Jaune refuse a summons calling for him by his enemies if it is delivered by Emerald and she call him thrice by his full name and maybe even title? If not, can he refuse to take a seat of cold iron, or a drink he knows hold seven poisons? Is he bound by the old rules where either a host or a guest must defend the other if attacked?
Whoooo boy! A long ask deserves a long response :]
Yes, it’s a little of both.
Jaune is pushed much harder toward host than guest (because of the King role) because that’s where the Narrative seems to like placing him most often, but he is absolutely still vulnerable to the rules of hospitality from the other side too.
If he’s at an event and people are offering him food, he can’t just bluntly refuse everything for no reason. That reads as rude, and the Narrative cares about that. He’s generally obligated to accept something, or at least make an effort. He doesn’t have to clean his plate or accept every single offering, but he usually has to try it, acknowledge it, participate in the ritual of it
That said, he is not bound into total self-destruction by etiquette. If he knows the food is poisoned, he would not be forced to eat it. The Narrative likes hospitality, but it also likes survival, tests, cleverness, traps revealed at the last moment, that kind of thing. “You must politely sample the bread someone offered you” is one thing. “You must knowingly drink seven poisons because it would be rude not to” is another. At that point the scene has stopped being about courtesy and started being about an attack, and those run on different rules
Same with something like a cold iron chair. He could refuse it. It would matter, and it would probably feel bad, because refusing an offered seat is still a breach of manners, but he could do it. Especially if he knows exactly what it is and what it would do to him. The rules pressure him; they do not erase his ability to resist. They just make resistance costly
The messenger/summons part is where things get much uglier
A normal messenger is still dangerous territory. The old story logic around messengers, envoys, heralds, bearers of words, all of that has weight. Hurting the messenger is the kind of thing stories notice. It stains the scene. It doesn’t mean he physically CAN'T do it, but it would be a taboo, and the Narrative would NOT like it. Messages are supposed to be delivered. Words are supposed to arrive. A messenger is carrying story from one place to another. Damaging that has consequences
But a summons delivered with his NAME is worse. Much worse
If someone calls him by his full name, and especially if titles get involved, that is not just “someone talking to him.” That is the Narrative grabbing hold
Jaune’s names and titles have weight. (Jaune Arc, King of the Story, Soldier, Poet, King, Rusted Knight, etc.) They’re not decorative. They are handles
So if an enemy (not Emerald, she's a good guy now, remember?) showed up and called him by his full name, maybe repeated it, maybe layered title on top of title, that would absolutely start to function like a summons. The first time feels like a tug. The second feels like a hook catching somewhere behind his ribs. By the third, it starts to become a path. Not mind control, exactly, but the overwhelming sense that the story has opened a road and is now expecting him to walk it
And the more the name is repeated, the worse it gets
Not louder. Closer
It's like each repetition narrows his options. Like the world is arranging itself into a corridor pointed at the speaker. Like his body knows where the scene is supposed to go before he does. He can resist, but resistance is painful and disorienting, and if he waits too long it starts to feel less like choosing not to move and more like trying not to be dragged
So could he refuse a summons from his enemies if it came in exactly the right form? Technically yes, in the same way you can dig your heels into the ground while something is pulling you downhill. But it would be difficult, ugly, and expensive. He would not just shrug it off
For example in THE PLOT TM there was a whole thing with Cinder, she beats his ass. And then after, she nearly goads him into another fight (while he's STILL INJURED) because she keeps repeating his name/titles until all options fall away except the path leading the "hero" to the "villain". They literally only stopped it by knocking Cinder out
TL;DR
Jaune is bound by guest-right some, but not as strongly as he is bound by host-right. He has to participate enough to not be openly rude, but he is not compelled to knowingly accept poison or obvious harm. Messengers are protected by story logic more than by any hard magical law. And names/titles are the really dangerous part, because those can turn a conversation into a summons very, very quickly
