How do you think RWB would’ve coped in Vacuo if none of them had fallen after Yang?

Add-on: How do you think a married Blake or Yang would deal if their partner passed prematurely? Would they live the rest of their lives fulfilled with the happy memories or Try to move on after a period of time (date, re-marry, etc)?

Biggest add-on: How would your SREN family deal with losing Blake or Yang?

(I think this might be the most EVIL RWBY ask I've ever gotten)

Not well. I know I've said it before but Yang is the heart of Team RWBY. She's Ruby's big sister/surrogate mother figure, Weiss' best friend and Blake's true love.

Losing her would be devastating. I mean, RWB being who they are, they would rally and do what they need to do to protect Remnant and fight Salem but the light would be gone, the joy.

Blake of course, would likely never recover, not fully and if Neo dared show her face, it'd be over for her.

For the second part: I am convinced that Blake and Yang are each other's "the one" - after everything they went through, finding each other, losing each other, multiple times. I can't see anyone else filling that void.

And for the third:

Sandy and Rose would not take losing either of their parents well. Unlike many characters in RWBY, they've had a happy and secure home life with their mothers. It's been a home full of love, laughter and happiness. So to lose that would wreck the girls. They've got so many friends and family, their aunts (Ruby, Laffy, Weiss, Penny) would do their best to help and so would their grandparents (Ghira, Kali, Raven and even Tai) and their girlfriends would help too but it would hurt for a long time.

This is a chapter I've had in my head nearly as long as I've been writing this fic. Without giving too much away, this is the start of their Volume 3.

I can imagine fishing with Kali, but what would it be with Ghira or Raven? (I know they have another grandparent but I figure you'd rather not talk about that one...)

Since the girls grew up in Kuo Kuana they're extremely close to Grandma Kali and Grandpa Ghira. When they were growing up the kids would often have sleepovers when Yang was away on a mission and Blake was busy with work.

You're right that Kali would take them fishing and Ghira would take time out of his schedule just to go on long walks with them (and carrying them on his shoulders when they got too tired.) Kali would laugh and say that he was just showing off his granddaughters to everyone. Unbeknownst to their parents, some of Rose and Sandy's earliest combat training came from their grandparents.

Raven is, as always, complicated. She's reconciled with Yang and loves her granddaughters but she's still not at ease with it. Especially when those two scamps pester her for stories and call her Granny Raven. But if course she's made links to them and often keeps an eye on them from a distance just to make sure they don't get into too much trouble.

Well, I'll go with the two I've written most about (and are actually in publicly posted fic)

Sandy and Rose Xiao Long - the teen daughters of Blake and Yang.

Sandy - She tries so hard, sometimes too hard. I know self-sacrifice isn't genetic but it feels like she inherited some of it from Yang. She loves her team (SREN) so much and would do anything for them. Her big sister, Rose is also someone she's desperate to be accepted by,

Rose - Rose is more complicated than Sandy and where Sandy seemed to inherit Yang's nature, Rose has picked up on Blake's tendency towards self-blame and also tends to push people away. She doesn't love easily but she does love so, so deeply.

Chapter 10 of SREN is live!

As Jaune, Ren, Oscar, our reluctant companion Emerald and I,  walked through Atlas’ underground tunnels we saw what could only be described as a fissure in the air…a gray nothingness with rainbow colors dancing at the fringes and suddenly there was a group of eight girls standing before us. Some about our age, some a little younger. 

At the front were two girls, one with dark blonde hair kept in a neat ponytail, the other was raven-haired and kept it loose about her shoulders. Both had heterochromic eyes, the same colors but on different sides but both were amber and lilac. 

They looked at our group and then focused on me and hesitantly approached. “Who are you?” I asked in astonishment.

The girls looked at each other and then back at a curly red-headed girl behind them who smiled encouragingly. 

“I…we’re Teams SREN and ORCD.” The blonde girl said. “And my name is Sandy Xiao Long.” then she indicated the older girl next to her. “And this is my sister, Rose.”

“Xiao Long….” I muttered not quite understanding what was happening when they suddenly wrapped me in a hug.
