#ski!au

pairing: Blake/Yang (RWBY)

rating: M

chapter word count: 19,217 (turns out, the last chapter is a chapter + epilogue! it came as a surprise to me too!)

summary:  There are a few things Yang knows for sure: nothing beats a fresh snowfall; all skiers are total nerds; her sister has never done anything wrong in her entire life; and every single time Blake Belladonna smiles at her, she feels like she’s at the top of her favorite slope, heart in her throat, board hanging over the edge. (She also knows that, someday soon, she’s going to have to do something about that last one.)

notes: Finally..... I don't think I have any words left in me after wrapping this up. Other than: thanks for your patience. Thanks for sending so many kind thoughts my way. And thanks for not making me feel guilty about taking so long. lol. Hope y'all enjoy!

notes: We. Are. Doing. It! Slowly, but surely. Thank you all for your patience and encouragement. I was always going to write this fic because I’ve been obsessed with the idea  of a ski AU since I joined fandom, but you all have made it more fun. :)

I commissioned @lesly-oh​ to draw Yang from my ski AU (you’re a mountain, full of glory) because I don’t know how to write anymore and I needed a jump-start. Obviously, she delivered... she delivered so brilliantly that I couldn’t keep it to myself. 

One million hearts to @plastic-pipes, who I had draw snowboarder!Yang and skier!Blake from my ski!AU: you’re a mountain, full of glory. 

Pipes killed it as ALWAYS! Her commission info can be found here. (I believe she’s currently full, but you can always reserve a spot!)

hfshdjk thank you so much, anon. I guess I can say this much: there are only two chapters left and there will definitely be a happy ending because I would rather die than write a sad one. lol. So, no need to stress! It’ll all be good.

chapter preview:

Blake doesn’t text. She doesn’t hear from her at all. 

Given all that, Yang feels she’s perfectly justified in her shock when Ruby shows up to their Friday family dinner with Blake in tow, Ruby’s wide smile and Blake’s blank face giving nothing away.

(Yang had known Ruby would come back with something that wasn’t on her shopping list, but she’d only prepared herself for something like triple-stuffed Oreos.)  

notes: ONE HUNDRED YEARS LATER. I know, I’m sorry. Hopefully I’m back on track.

hfkjs oh gosh that’s so sweet of you to say. I had to like, go back and read it myself because it’d been so long. I should have just hired you as a professional consultant instead.
