I’m Alive on Here

Hi. Yes, I am alive. And yes, I am writing again. Life has been crazy and when I decided that I wanted to sit down and actually do stuff, a little thing called COVID got in the way. But now I’m a bit more settled, medicated, and have something called a “time management skill”.

Already posted a WIP to Patreon, S O-

I haven’t actually posted something that I’ve written in quite a while, but I am very deep in the Icebyrd ship now and you are not dragging me out of it. I will write as much icebyrd as needed even if I do it myself.

Here’s a quick little thing I wrote earlier today, figured I’d share it with y’all. Touching little uncle and niece moment hopefully?

Qrow had been doing alright, he’d been doing great actually. But one slip up, one mission went wrong, and he was back holding his flask. He sat there, staring at it. If he took a sip, he knew how disappointed his nieces would be. But he wanted to forget. He didn’t want to think clearly, alcohol always seemed to dull his semblance too.

Tonight. He brought the flask to his lips. I disappoint my nieces.

BANG

Sputtering curses as he flung himself back, hands grasping for his weapon, he searched around wide-eyed for the source. His breath hitched as he made eye contact with Ruby, crescent rose in her hand, residual gunpowder floating down from the barrel of the gun.

“You’re not going through this alone, Uncle Qrow,” She collapsed the weapon and put it aside, stepping towards Qrow. “Yang and I won’t let you.” She wrapped her arms around him in a hug, squeezing tighter as he let out a choked sob.

Sniffling, Qrow pulled Ruby close, hugging her just as tight back. Guess he wouldn’t be a disappointment tonight.

Some people consider all things black and white, either one or the other. Often, emotions are thought of in this way. But is that really the case? Is hate, jealousy, happiness, love, as simple as it's made out to be?

Here’s a fanfiction .net link for those that want it!!

Blake and Wiess, dorm hallway, Blake’s phone, ‘omg they were roommates’

Weiss sat next to Blake in the hallway, waiting for their partners to arrive with Professor Goodwitch so they could get into their dorm room. Apparently one of Nora’s newest “games” involved trying to shoot Jaune with a modified t-shirt cannon, and said modification included a military-grade grenade launcher made to accommodate t-shirts. Sadly, the keypad to their dorm room was the victim and not Jaune. Tragic.

Signing, the heiress glanced over to see what Blake was doing. Reading a book as usual, of course. Now that she thought about it, Blake probably had some good book recommendations. Maybe she should-

“Oh my GOD,” Squeaking in surprise, Weiss pressed herself against the wall as all of the sudden Blake yelled and threw her book across the hall. Staring at the book that was now embedded into the wall, Weiss opened and closed her mouth, looking back and forth between the object and Blake.

“What? Why would you- Blake, what the hell?” Blake grabbed Weiss’ shoulders, staring directly into the heiress’ eyes as she practically growled a response.

“They were roommates,”

And with that, Blake stood up and stormed down the hall, leaving Weiss behind very confused and mildly aroused by the faunus’s actions.

Ruby and Glynda(or any teach rly), classroom, book, ‘hey I’m ruby and I’m 15 and I never learned how to fuckin read’

Also known as “Ruby Rose really fucks up”

   Ruby glared at the book on her desk. Stupid school. Stupid reading. Why was she even reading? This was Professor Goodwitch’s class, the fighting class, so why in the hell was she reading a book!?

    She glanced up at the professor, who was currently engaged in her own book. It was “reading time”, the time once every couple of months where instead of going and fighting each other like usual, they sit in a classroom and read books about strategy and whatnot. Or in other words, an excuse for Glynda to relax in class while simultaneously making all the students suffer. Actually…

    “That book looks an awful lot like the ones that Blake tries to hide from us,” Ruby mumbled, squinting as she tried to get to get a better look. Seriously, it looked almost exactly like it, now if only she could see the title…

    “Miss Rose!”

    “Y-yes?!” Ruby sat up straight, back stiff as she makes direct eye contact with Glynda, who was sending the young girl a glare over her book.

    “I don’t know what you’re trying to look at, but I suggest going back to reading. You will be tested on this later,” Groans echoed throughout the class as Ruby slouched down, trying to make herself as small as possible.

    Looking back down at her book, she tried to go back to reading. The first paragraph talked about combat strategies against beowolves. Second paragraph mentioned beowolves - wait, no, that was the first paragraph again. Wait, has she even finished the first paragraph. Nope. With a deep sigh, Ruby rested her head on the desk.

“Hey, I’m Ruby, I’m 15 and I never learned how to fuckin’ read…”

“Miss. Rose.” Ruby’s heart stopped. She had just said that out loud, didn’t she?

Sitting up straight, Ruby made eye contact with Professor Goodwitch for the second time that day. Seeing the annoyance glinting in the professor’s eyes, Ruby did the most logical thing for her to do.

Run.

Straight into a closed door that was being kept that way due to Glynda’s semblance.

Ruby Rose was screwed.

Blake and yang, dorm room, and ‘you know like nya’

    “Hey, uh, Blake?”

    Blake shifted, rolling over on her bed so she could face her partner who was currently playing video games on the floor.

    “Yes, Yang?”

    “Can I ask you some questions? About being a faunus and all that?” Blake blinked in surprise. Out of the entire team, Yang was the only one who hadn’t asked many questions about Blake’s faunus heritage. Ruby bombarded her with questions regarding her hearing and all that, Weiss asked about the struggles faunus had daily with racism, but Yang? She hadn’t asked anything, until now.

    “Of course,” Blake sat up, stretching as she straightened herself out, turning to face the blonde. “What do you want to know?”

    “Well, it may be a ridiculous question…”

    “No such thing, Yang.”

    Yang sat there, quiet, for another moment or two. Then suddenly, she burst out, “Do you make cat noises?”

    Blake sat there in shock. Out of all the questions Yang could ask, it was this. Not, ‘Hey, Blake! Can you hear out of those ears?’ or ‘Do all faunus only have one trait?’ No, no. It was about whether or not Blake could meow.

    “You’re joking, right?”

    Yang shook her head. “I’ve been dying to know! Like, can you purr? Do you make other cat noise, you know, like, nya?” At the last statement, Yang’s classic shit-eating grin emerged as Blake let out a groan of frustration.

    “That’s it, I’m getting a new team.”

    “Aw, Blake, come on! Don’t tell me you didn’t see it coming!” Ignoring her, Blake grabbed a book from her bookshelf and walked out the door, passing Weiss on her way out.

    “Uh, Blake? Why is Yang laughing like a maniac?” Blake kept walking. “Blake?!”

    Yang was Weiss’ problem now.

Weiss Schnee, the most useless lesbian

Weiss sighed in bliss as she lowered her cup of coffee. There was nothing like a fresh cup of coffee to wake her up after a long day. Now all she had to do was finish Oobleck’s history paper and luckily Ruby was up in her bed reading, Blake was off with Velvet, and Yang was sparring with Pyrrha so she shouldn’t have any -

“Weiss, we need your opinion on something!” - interruptions. Weiss set her cup on the desk as she slowly pivoted her chair to face the door that had just been kicked in. There stood one Yang Xiao Long covered in sweat with an equally sweating Pyrrha in tow.

Weiss crossed her legs as she cocked her eyebrow, sweeping her hand out in a well, get on with it? motion. She was most definitely not paying attention to the sweat droplet that was rolling down towards Yang’s assets or the fact that Pyrrha was glistening in the dorm’s light. Not at all.

“Okay, wild question, but-” As Yang said this, she took off the tank top that she was wearing, revealing her yellow sports bra and delicious abs, forcing Weiss to think about all the ugly old men she had to deal with at her father’s gatherings so she wouldn’t oogle the blonde. “-who has nicer abs. Me or Pyrrha?”

Once she discarded her own top, Yang reached over to the gladiator and pulled up her shirt, revealing a mother fucking eight-pack. Stammering, Weiss glanced back and forth between the two greek goddesses, her face getting redder and redder by the second.

“I-I don’t t-think I s-should, uh,” Realizing that she was now useless at being a part of this conversation, Weiss turned back around and downed her cup of coffee. Taking a deep breath, she turned to face the two again, electing to stare right in between them so she could actually talk.

“Hey, Weiss! I know what will help you decide!” All three girls looked at Ruby in confusion, who was now quickly climbing down to join them.

“Uh, Ruby, how are you going to-” And then as quickly as Yang had, Ruby took off her tank top, revealing a very impressive, and extremely irresistible, set of abs that easily rivaled both Pyrrha and Yang’s.

“A-adflwje-dalljfa-nlfkjwa!” Stammering random syllables, Weiss stood up, pushed past Pyrrha and Yang, and left the dorm room, ignoring the roaring laughter that came from Ruby and confused words of Yang as she marched down the hall towards the library.

Side note: When Yang took off her shirt, Pyrrha stopped working. When Ruby took off her shirt, Pyrrha yeeted into another existence.

Fake Marriage AU (Monochrome)

I’m just gonna put this here because I was eating some french fries and this came to mind. The two have no connection at all. Enjoy.

Weiss took in a shuddering breath and let it out. She reread the letter in her hand three times, just to make sure she had read it correctly. Sadly, she had. Her father had arranged for her to be married by the end of the year.

Flopping down on the couch, Weiss let out a groan. After she and her friends defeated Salem and began rebuilding the CCT at Beacon, her father had decided that having her as heiress again would do good for the company’s PR. And being the inconsiderate jerk that he was, also decided that marrying her off to some other company’s son would also be good for strengthening the company. She just couldn’t get a break, could she?

“Yo, Weiss! We’re back and we brought some takeout!” Yang burst into the room, arms full of groceries from the shopping trip the team had gone on earlier. Ruby and Blake followed behind her, Blake also carrying groceries while Ruby had said takeout in her arms. Weiss put a smile on her face, got up and went over to Blake, helping her bring the bags into the kitchen. Doing some manual labor would help distract her from the issue of the arranged marriage and it was always nice to help out the rest of her team.

Of course, the whole time that Weiss was helping Blake, she didn’t realize that the perceptive cat faunus had seen straight through her facade. Not until they were all sitting down in the living room, stomachs full of takeout, Blake reading a novel on the lazy boy while Ruby and Yang bickered over what movie to watch. Weiss was lounging on the couch, watching the sister’s with unfocused eyes as she thought about her father’s sudden decision.

“So, gonna tell us what’s wrong, Weiss?” Weiss’s head snapped towards Blake, whose novel was sitting closed in her lap as she looked at Weiss with a worried expression. Ruby and Yang stopped their argument immediately, sharing a look of concern between them before they got up to join the others on the couch.

“H-how did you know something was wrong?” Weiss had learned long ago that lying to her friends would only lead her to regret. There had been too many close encounters with death for all of them for her liking so she tried to stay as honest to them as possible, the others probably felt the same. To answer her question, Blake just gave her small smile, knowing that it was all Weiss needed.

Taking in a shuddering breath and letting it out slowly, much like she had done earlier, Weiss grabbed the letter that she had put back in the mail pile and read it to her team. When she finished, she looked up to see the sheer horror in Ruby’s face, the burning anger in Yang’s, and the pure disgust in Blake’s. Chuckling, Weiss folded the letter back up and put it back in the pile.

“I take it you guys don’t agree with it either?” A resounding “No!” was a more than sufficient answer to Weiss. “So, what do you think I should do about it?”

“Well, can he marry you if you’re already married?” Ruby suggested after thinking for a moment.

“Ruby, I don’t want to get married at all!”

“You don’t have to be actually married! Just legally, right?” Weiss thought about it, she was technically right. She could remain “married” for enough time to take over the company and then divorce afterwards.

“I can see how it could work, but who am I going to marry?”

“Oh, oh, oh! I have an idea!” Yang’s face split into a grin. “What if you marry Sun? Because he’s a faunus, that would really get under your dad’s skin!”

“As much as I’d love to mess with him like that, I am not marrying Sun. He’s already dating Neptune and I don’t want to cause any issues for them.”

“What about me?” Blake’s suggestion caused all of the girls to look at her in shock. She merely shrugged at their looks and continued. “Think about it. Not only am I a faunus, but I’m a girl too, so it’ll really get under Jackass’s skin. Not to mention, I’m single still and I hang out with Weiss all the time, so it won’t be like anything has changed.”

“Are you sure about this, Blake?” Weiss’s eyebrows furrowed with concern. “I know Yang said it as a joke, but my father will actually be pissed. He might even try something.”

“Weiss, I’ll be fine,” Blake reached over and patted Weiss’s hand. “It’s not like we’ll be actually married and I’m more than happy to help a friend out.” Blake gave Weiss a reassuring smile as she looked deep into the faunus’s eyes, trying to find some sign of regret. When she found nothing, the heiress sighed and returned the smile.

“So, now that you two are officially going to be a couple, when should we plan the wedding?” Yang’s grin widened as the two quickly separated their hands, red dusting both of their faces.

“I think just getting a marriage license would be fine,” Ruby suggested, completely ignoring what had just happened. “That way it would make it more realistic, like you guys didn’t want your relationship to go public.”

“Ruby is right,” Weiss cleared her throat, trying to make that blasted blush go away. “There haven’t even been any rumors about us, so we should try to keep it on the down low as much as possible.” Blake nodded in agreement.

“Okay, so first thing tomorrow we’ll go down to the church and get you two a license!” Yang gave the two a wink as she slid off the couch. “For now, let’s all go to sleep. It’s been a longer night than any of us anticipated.”

“I need to write out a response to my father, but I’ll retire soon,” Weiss smoothed out her dress as she got up and headed towards the desk on the side of the room. But before she sat down again, she paused and turned to her team. “Thank you guys, by the way. I really appreciate this. Especially you Blake, I know this can’t be easy.”

“It’s fine, Weiss,” Blake walked over and gave the girl a hug. “I’m more than happy to help a friend out.”

“Awww, GROUP HUG!” Weiss let out a very undignified squeak as the two sisters almost knocked her and Blake down as they tackled them in a hug. But even then, she couldn’t help but laugh, it was just so like them to do something like this. She was extremely lucky to have such good friends, and she wouldn’t trade them for the world. And then later Blake confesses to Weiss that she has a HUGE crush on her and then they date and get married for real and Jackass gets kicked off the side of a cliff. YAY! I wrote this way too late at night so it is probably crap. Maybe one of these days I’ll actually finish this. Probably not.
