Winter: Sister, Do You Realize What You’re Doing?

Think you would do another part to the missing for a year ask

Missing For A Year Part 2

What originally was supposed to be a day of remembrance and comfort to those who had mourned the ‘death’ of the two leaders of ®WBY and (J)NPR, quickly became a revelation of confusion and shock. For after almost a year after their supposed passing, Ruby and Jaune returned to Beacon at the day of their own memorial with more than a few surprises. Many of the friends family felt relief that their friends/children/sibling while others had…..unique reactions.

Glynda: For the love of-I JUST HAD THIS SCHOOL FIXED! (Starts to repair the damages done to the door) Mr. Pine would you be so kind as to bring back Miss Schnee and…the newly announced parents. Preferably before she tears the courtyard apart.

Oscar: I’ll try but I can’t make any guarantees.

Glynda: Understandable. Now hurry!

Oscar starts to sprint after them in order to calm matters before they escalate. Meanwhile, the remaining friends of Ruby and Jaune take in the new situation.

Blake: Are they going to be ok? Weiss seems pretty mad.

Neptune: Yeah she’s fine, the two of them… well not so much.

Sun: By the way, how’re you doing babe? I mean we just did get a major truth bomb dropped on us.

Blake: I’m really not sure what I’m feeling. Shock, elation, grief, betrayal…..it’s a mixed bag at the moment.

Sun: Hey take whatever time you need. In the meantime, want to go see the new babies!

Blake: …..Sure. I think that’ll be nice.

Neptune: Also should we get Ren? He’s been still as a statue for a good minute or two. I think he’s also forgotten how to breathe.

Ren: godchildren…godchildren…I’m a godfather…

Sun: Ok buddy come on let’s go. *Grabs him like a cardboard cutout*

Meanwhile….

Ruby: ‘Huff! Huff! Huff!’ I think we lost her

Jaune: *Kneeled over in exhaustion* Man, here I thought we were gonna be having a nice reunion with everyone. Not to run in our own funeral.

Ruby: Technically it was a memorial.

Jaune: Haha. Oh yeah like that’s way better.

Ruby: Look, let’s just see if we can talk to her. She seems pretty upset about it all. Can’t imagine what she’s going through. I mean we basically were proclaimed dead by everyone then to suddenly just stumble back into their lives unannounced and without warning.

Jaune: Yeah that would put her in a questionable state of grief.

Ruby: I wish we could make it up to her you know.

Weiss: Maybe you can by accepting your punishment… *Peeking over the bush they were hiding in*

Slowly the couple turned their heads backwards to see their assailant right behind them. Nervous expressions written on their faces due to the unnervingly calm the SDC heiress/huntress was being.

Ruby: Weiss…hey, how are you?

Weiss: Good…heard you’re married now…and with children.

Ruby: Y-Yeah. Had a really busy year.

Weiss: Oh I had a busy year too. By busy I meant that I spent most of the past year in grief over the death of two of my dearest friends.

Ruby: Oh…that sounds terrible.

Weiss: It was…but do you want to know what’s worse than grieving over the dead?

Jaune: What’s that?

Weiss: Finding our that all your grief was wasted on two absolute morons who didn’t even know the proper way to send a letter to their grieving friends. But who also managed to start up a new life entirely ignorant of the pain their absence caused others. But you want to know the bright side?

Ruby/Jaune: …..what’s the bright-

From a birds eye view, newly installed cameras recorded the sudden appearance of a massive snowy explosion in Beacon’s courtyard. The sound of the sudden explosion alerted the attention of the deputy assistant to the headmistress, as he saw a large amount of snow built up seemingly out of nowhere.

Oscar: Oh no…Welp! At least I know where they are. *Starts running*

It takes Oscar about five minutes to get to the epicenter of the explosion as he had to walk through all the snow built up from the explosion. There he finds Weiss holding onto a supply bag and a rather large ice cube.

Oscar: Weiss, did you have to do this in the courtyard?

Weiss: Yup.

Oscar: ‘Sigh’ Honestly I don’t blame you. By the way where’s Ruby and Jaune?

Weiss: Close by. *Uses Myrtenaster to spin the ice cube to reveal everything but the faces of the couple encased in the block of ice*

Ruby: *Teeth chattering* H-H-hey Oscar… how’s it…ha-hanging?

Oscar: I’m good…..are they ok?

Weiss: Oh don’t mind them they’re completely fine. This is just the punishment they are going to endure being stuck in one place for the remainder of the day. Right? *Glares at the two leaders*

Jaune: *teeth chattering* Y-y-yeah! To-Totally…no problems here! R-R-Right Ruby?

Ruby: *teeth chattering* Y-Y-Yep! Totally… peachy!

Oscar: Somehow I don’t believe…

Weiss: Oh you worry too much. They’re not going to get hypothermia from being in there. There Aura will protect their body temperature and the worst they can get from this is a cold.

Oscar: How kind of you.

Weiss: Do you want to go in the cube?

Oscar: *puts hands up in surrender* No! I’m good! I’m completely ok with being outside the cube.

Weiss: Good! Now come along you too, a LOT of people probably wish to see you right now. Weiss then uses her summoning glyph to bring out the Arma Gigas, who takes block of ice and carries it for her. With Oscar by her side the two begin to walk back to the main auditorium of Beacon.

Glynda: There you are Miss Schnee, did you manage to reconcile with- Why do you have a giant ice cube?

Weiss: Yes. I did in fact reconcile with my leader and her…husband. And for why I have this ice cube, see for yourself.

The Arma Gigas leaned down so that Goodwitch could see the couple’s faces.

Glynda: …..So I see. Well in any case, a lot of the Xiao-Long and Arc Families are eager to see these two. So would you mind if you could-?

Weiss: Of course.

Weiss’ summoning places the ice cube down and pushes it inside, causing the block to slide against the floor until it’s in the middle of the room.

Ruby: H-H-Hey everyone!

Taiyang: Ruby! *Runs over everyone in his path to get to her* My precious little bud! I-I can’t believe you’re here and alive! …..I…I thought I lost you too. *Hugs the cube*

Ruby: O-Oh Dad….I’m s-so s-s-sorry! I would h-hug you if-f-f my arms we-weren’t f-frozen.

Taiyang: It’s ok sweetie…you’re being here is all I need.

????: JAUNE MILES ARC!

Jaune: O-oh Crud…

A middle aged blonde woman marches over to the ice cube, with a frying pan in hand. Her eyes seemed to project fire despite having no magic.

Jaune: M-M-Mom! H-H-Hold on a s-s-second! I c-can exp-plain!

Mrs. Arc: Young man…..you…*drops the pan*

Jaune: Huh? *Face gets cradled*

Mrs. Arc: My baby…my baby boy…..*sobbing*

Jaune: M-M-Mom….. *Gets tarry eyed* I-I’m sorry for making you g-g-go through that.

Mrs. Arc: Oh Jaune…you have nothing to be sorry about my little blessing. You’re here now.

Nora: Awww! What a wonderful family reunion!

The others began to gather around the cube to ask their questions about where the two leaders have been this entire time, and the couple did their best to answer the many asked questions. Weiss even lessened the temperature of the ices o that they could say complete sentences without the cold stuttering.

Blake: Where happened to you two when you two defeated Salem?

Ruby: Well do you remember how she used her magic to bring the temple up to the atmosphere? Well when it was descending we saw that it was heading straight to the face of a mountain so luckily, both of us clung to a straying falling fragment in time while Jaune amplified our auras to withstand the impact of landing.

Jaune: Still has a bit to spare to heal us enough so that I could carry us to a nearby village. It was a fairly new settlement that probably was uncharted on most maps at the time.

Ren: Which means we wouldn’t have been able to find the village…

Jaune: Bingo!

Yang: *Holding Summer in her arms still, while the baby was contently playing with her hair* What happened to you afterwards?

Ruby: Well after Salem’s defeat, Jaune and I decided that we both wanted to take a little bit of a break from huntsmen work, so we decided to do some traveling. We already confessed to each other after the first month and got our marriage license in the second month at a court house. By that time we had gone from Mistral to Vacuo. But at the time of the third month…..I started to get sick, a lot. Didn’t take us long to go to a doctor to see why and to both our surprise I was a couple weeks along in my pregnancy.

Jaune: So we put exploring the world on hold and settled down in a local down in Southern Vale.

Weiss: How did you keep you’re presence under the radar for so long?

Ruby: Honestly we didn’t even know people were looking for us since Salem’s defeat so we just dressed like normal citizens and kept our hunting gear in our briefcases.

Weiss: Of course you did. *Face palm*

Nora: Welp looks like everything worked out in the end! All’s well that ends well!

Jaune: Um…Nora. Where’s Rowan?

Nora: Huh?

Jaune: The baby you were holding before we ran off you were holding onto him and now you’re not.

Nora: I’m not! *Looks all around herself, but finds nothing* …..Uh oh.

Jaune: …..Nora, you were watching him did you give him to somebody else?

Nora: I don’t think so!

Ruby: What! Nora did you lose my baby!

Nora: Ren did I give him to you?!

Ren: No I haven’t even gotten to hold him. *slightly disappointed*

Nora: Uuuuuhhh no, oh gods. *starts to hyperventilate* I don’t know what I did with him! I LOST THE BABY!

????: Ahem!

Nora and the others look to the source of the voice and there they see Whitley looking upwards.

Whitley: I think I found your missing baby. *Points Up*

Everyone looks up and to the parents surprise/horror, Rowan had somehow climbed up to the ceiling and was crawling on one of the ceiling beams.

Rowan: *Cute Baby Noises and waves at them*

Ruby/Nora: AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!

Nora: Don’t worry baby I’ll save you!

Weiss: Whitley! Why didn’t you tell us this sooner?!

Whitley: *Still looking up* He was doing fine climbing up there by himself so I wanted to wait and see if he could climb down.

Nora: *Up on the beams, slow to approach the infant* Hey there baby Rowan! Hi sweetie~ Listen why don’t you come over here to Auntie Nora. Come on~

Rowan: *Baby noises and crawls the opposite way*

Nora: Wait. No Rowan! You’re going the wrong way! Over HERE! Towards ME!

Rowan: *Baby noises but looks down to see the giant ice cube.* Aaaaaah! Ma! Ba!

Nora: Yes you want to go see mommy and daddy right? So just come over to me and I’ll take you to them. Ok sweetie!

Rowan: Hehehehe! *Falls over the edge*

Nora: NO! *Trues to catch him but fails*

Ruby/Jaune: ROWAN!!

Rowan falls down from the ceiling and just before he gets close to the ground his descent is slowed down before it stops completely leaving him completely suspended in midair. Then he is levitated over to his savior, Miss Goodwitch.

Glynda: Young man. I should let you know that playing in the ceiling is no place for a child to play.

Rowan: ….. *blows raspberries then laughs*

Glynda: *Smiles* You’re very lucky you’re not one of my students. Not yet anyway. Miss Rose, I believe this is belongs to you. *Levitates the baby over to Taiyang, who was standing right by her*

Ruby: Oh! My sweet baby boy, I’m so glad you’re safe!

Rowan: *cute baby noises* Ma!

Everyone: Awww.

Nora: AAAH! *Falls to the ground* …..I’m ok! Ow!

-End of Part 2-

Hope you guys like this second addition to the Missing for a Year post I made a month ago. Stay safe and I’ll talk to you all later!

She could just sit on his shoulders and use him as a sniping perch.

Put Jaune and Ruby’s marketing poses together because Lancaster Rights 😌

Team RASN: I know you said Jaune was likely to carry-bang whichever teammate(s) he ends up with, but at this point it seems more likely he's gonna sisterzone them and end up with Yang or something. It seems like the smol girls will have to make the first move.

Indeed it seems so, but Yang and Jaune are friends.

So far.

Yang would lie if she said she wasn’t interested in Jaune.

(I have no clue as to who would be making the first move.)

~ Beacon, Fiona’s Dorm, Wherever that is ~

Fiona: Jaune’s so nice... If only-

Inner Fiona: Take the boy. Steal him away.

Fiona: I can’t do that! Jaune would get scared of me, and Pyrrha’s always around, I can feel her watching when I talk to him...

Inner Fiona: Mount his lap, make your claim clear.

Fiona: Should-Shouldn’t we try going on dates first?

Inner Fiona: Pointless.

Fiona: Mom said I shouldn’t think too hard about boys this time of year...

Inner Fiona: Mother knows nothing. Make him pat your head.

Fiona: *tiny gasp*

~ Elsewhere ~

Blake: So, Pyrrha... It’s springtime.

Pyrrha: Oh I know, the weather’s finally looking better.

Blake: ...*tsk*... So you’ve got maybe three days until Fiona snaps and makes Jaune pat her head.

Pyrrha: *GASP*

Blake: Also sex, probably should have lead with that.

Pyrrha: *Panicking Amazon Noises*

A bit bizzare but when everyone first attended beacon there was another student, Fiona. She and Pyrrha both have a crush on Jaune, but will they work together or will they be rivals?

Fiona would crush on jaune but would be too afraid of pyrrha to do anything

Scrolls are basically smartphones that seem to default to vid-calls, Adrian is probably aware of how that works.

Adrian wants to talk to aunt Ruby.

jaune never told saphron what his mission was

Horny Ghost Pyrrha: *Posses Weiss and tries to get her to sleep with Jaune*

Weiss: *Struggling* MUST. RESIST. BANGING. ARC!

Horny Ghost Pyrrha: Do it Weiss~

Good points on all fronts. A ton of people say Jaune should have a sidearm, but it just works better if it has an emotional meaning instead of just a practical one. It would be cute if Neo gave Jaune a little boot knife or something.

For Neo, if you were restarting it tomorrow, I’d say to just have her grab a spare cane of Roman’s, or spare parts? Have her rebuild it into a heavy derringer or flintlock thing, would suit her aesthetic more.

I have a question or rather a wish for a secondary weapon for jaune from volume 1 practically ... so if jaune and neo are together I couldn't teach him to use something like a dagger or a hidden weapon in his clothes something like the hidden dagger by assasincred (or whatever you type) or a pistol like the RK5 from COD

I agree Jaune could use some kind of variable attacks. Once I started writing for the characters, I realized how limited he can be. However, Jaune’s weapons have followed his character growth pretty well. 

Vol 1-3, Jaune began with the hand-me-down that his great great grandfather used to ‘fight in the war’ because he didn’t go to a combat school to make his own weapon. He faked his way into Beacon. He had to fake his weapon too, and probably snagged the one thing on the wall he could use. 

Vol 4-6, Jaune uses Miló and Akoūo to reinforce his shield and armor. The weapon can now become a longsword, focusing all of his defense into an offensive weapon. Why? Because he didn’t care about what happened to himself anymore, he cared about fighting Cinder again. He even says in the Vol 5 finale that his life didn’t matter anymore. 

Vol 7-8, we see Jaune shift away from offense (after his talk at Pyrrha’s statue with her mother) and focus on leading his team and defense. His shield can now cover 3 people easily, the gravity dust can repel anyone who gets close, and the shield grenade can protect the people he cares about that he can’t reach in time. 

If anything, I feel like Jaune might take Vine’s suggestion in extending his aura into his weapons. One possibility being what Qrow does. We saw in Vol 4 that Qrow can swing his sword at Tyrian and a building a dozen yards away loses its roof. And those gusts of air as Jaune swung his sword to Pyrrha’s videos might be the start of that

As for Neo  There’s this scene in my fic where she and Jaune go to meet Lil’ Miss Malachite. In my original version, Neo buys an ice dust pistol from her, expecting to have to deal with Cinder’s fire attacks. While expanding her range considerably, it didn’t feel right for her character. I’ve been considering incorporating a dust launcher like Roman had to her repertoire but we’ll see what Atlas has in store for her 

Blake: *Watching from the closet* Damn that's a good line...

Yang: fuck me gently

Jaune: no. I will give you what you deserve

Yang: Jaune, your whole family is kinda badass.

Jaune: Ha ha. Yeah, I like to think so.

Yang: And I’m a badass...

Jaune: Well, yeah. That was never in question.

Yang: So I’m gonna be in your family!

Jaune: You’re gonna- Yang that’s not how that works.

Mama Arc: *From the other room* It’s how I ended up here!

Headcanon. Yang likes stories so she'll jaune tell her stories about his great grandfather and other arc stories

In an AU where Velvet had silver eyes, this would be half the reason he’d let Jaune enroll.

A small militia of silver-eyed, ultra-durable potential Hunters, with night-vision and super hearing.

It’d be his ace in the rabbit-hole.

Would Velvet have many kids with Jaune like regular bunnies do and if so how many?

velvet: *blush* BABIES?!

jaune: *blush*
