#bird qrow

[one-real-wrimonkey]

Don’t imagine Qrow being caught off guard in bird form and shoved in a cage.

Don’t imagine him being kept in plain view, but unable to communicate, watching allies walk past and miss them because they don’t know.

Don’t imagine him being delivered to Salem in a bird cage, trapped in the form Ozpin gave him.

Don’t imagine any of that…

I think he’d enjoy sonic because he’s cool and rebellious

Year of STRQ: Assumption

“Qrow should be back soon,” Raven said, glancing at a clock as she leaned against Tai and put an arm around Summer’s shoulder. “One of you opened the kitchen window, right?” “I figured Tai did,” Summer said. “I figured Raven did…” Tai said. There was a crash in the kitchen.

Lucky Charms Week Day 6. Bird Shenanigans. My friend on Discord made the art, I wrote the ficlet.

Clover was sitting peacefully in one of the academy gardens, enjoying an impromptu lunch. He could have eaten it in the cafeteria or in his quarters, but it was just so nice out today he decided to eat outside surrounded by flowers and plant life. He took a bite of his ham sandwich and just let himself relax in the sun. Nice days like today were pretty rare in Atlas, the weather was usually cold and snowy or cold and sunny. Right now it was warm, for Atlas at least, so he was gonna soak it up for as long as he could. 

A bright caw stole his attention and made him look to his feet. Sitting there was a crow, inky black feathers, ruby red eyes, and adorably small. Crows weren’t native to Atlas and he would have been confused, if it weren’t for the fact that he knew just who this particular crow was.

“Well hey there pretty bird, come to join me for lunch?” he playfully asked, bending down to offer the bird a hand to hop on. Which it did, nuzzling his fingers and gently tugging his thumb. Clover chuckled and set his sandwich down on a napkin next to him, using his now free hand to pet down Qrow’s back. “What brings you here? Enjoying the lovely weather? Or did you just wanna see me?” he teased, scratching at the spot right in between his wings that he knew Qrow loved. Qrow trilled happily and fluffed up his feathers before settling them down and lifted a wing beginning to preening himself. 

Clover settled happily with the little bird on his lap and took up his sandwich, taking another bite. It really was a lovely day. Good weather, good sandwich, and an adorable bird keeping him company. Yup, life was good for Clover Ebi. “Hey, you hungry love bug?” he asked, gently scratching the top of Qrows head to gain his attention. Qrow chirped and nodded his head enthusiastically, hopping up and down on Clovers lap making the Ace Op laugh. “Alright then, here you go.” he tore off a large chunk of his sandwich and offered it to Qrow. 

Qrow looked at the offered piece, looked at Clover, back to the piece, back to Clover. He quickly darted to the rest of Clover's sandwich, grabbed it, and took off flying. Clover was left stunned for a split second before he leaped to his feet and gave chase to the sandwich thief. “QROW!” he shouted, running through the garden and back into the building. He felt a little silly, chasing a little black bird through the school. But this little bird had stolen his lunch! This simply could not stand!

“COME BACK HERE WITH MY SANDWICH!” he yelled, racing through the halls after his feathered lover. Qrow just kept flying, always just out of Clovers reach. The jerk was teasing him! Oh Qrow was so going to pay for this! He growled playfully and picked up the speed, nearly catching Qrow only to have him dart ahead once more. 

Their game of cat and mouse took them through nearly the entire academy. He must have looked a sight to the students and faculty he passed. He’d probably be embarrassed if he wasn’t having so much fun with his game. He had always loved games and Qrow knew this, maybe this was the real reason he had stolen Clover’s lunch. He had just wanted to play with Clover. So play they would. 

“Qrow!” he called, though a laugh broke through this time. “Come on! Is this really necessary?” He knew he wouldn’t get a response and he knew Qrow wouldn’t give up the food. But this was part of the game and Clover was determined to win. Soon they turned a corner and Clover got his chance. James had stepped out into the hall in front of Qrow, startling the bird. 

“Gotcha!” he cried, lunging forward and wrapping his hands around Qrow’s tiny body. He felt Qrow squirming and wriggling in his hands desperate to break free. “Oh no you don’t!” he laughed, plucking his prized sandwich from Qrow’s beak.

“What are you doing?” James asked, an eyebrow raised and his eyes shining with clear amusement. Clover felt a heat rise in his face. He had just made a fool of himself in front of his boss hadn’t he? If Qrow’s cawing laughter was any indication then yes, yes he had. 

“Uh, Qrow and I were, um, training?” he stammered, “He was the target and I was supposed to catch him.” Brothers he hoped James believed this. It wasn’t entirely untrue really, Qrow had been his target to catch after all.

“I see.” James mused, a smirk playing on his lips, “Well congratulations then Clover, Qrow isn’t an easy bird to catch.” Qrow squawked and increased his wiggles in Clovers hands. Clover chuckled and gave his superior an apologetic look.

“Sorry sir. I’ve gotta run. More...training to do with Qrow. I’ll see you later though sir.” he said walking down the hall towards his quarters.

“Oh course. Don’t be too rough with him though. He has a mission first thing tomorrow and so do you.” Clover felt his face flush at the Generals words and all but scurried away from his line of sight. It wasn’t like that, but he somehow felt that saying that wouldn’t help anything. So he just stayed quiet and all but ran to his room, a still struggling Qrow in his hands. 

Once the two reached Clover's quarters he deposited the little bird onto the couch and sat down next to him. “Turn back.” he said, gazing intently at Qrow, waiting for him to comply. Once Qrow was back in his human form Clover moved to quickly straddle the lithe man's waist. Qrow was out of breath and giggly under Clover, looking at him with mirth filled eyes.   

“You should have seen your face when you nearly ran into Jimmy! It was priceless!” Qrow giggled, twisting a bit in an attempt to free himself. Clover leaned forward, till he was nearly nose to nose with Qrow. 

“You think that was all funny huh?” he growled, though there was no heat behind it, “Stealing my lunch? Making me look like a fool in front of not only students and staff but my boss as well?” He leaned forward more till his lips were right next to Qrows ear “Well let’s see how funny you think it is when the tables are turned.” 

Leaning back he grabbed his scroll and set it upright on the table facing them. “Hello everyone” he said to the camera as Qrow tried to escape under him. “Today my lovely boyfriend embarrassed me today by stealing my food and making me chase him around the whole school! Then he nearly made me run into my boss! So this is my pay back. You ready Qrow?”

“When I get my hands on you! I swear I’m gonna-” he was cut off by his own squeak when Clover pinched his hip.

“You’re gonna what? You’re gonna squeak? Well I can handle that.” he teased, kneading his thumbs into Qrows sides. Making the poor man beneath him let out a stream of giggles, his hands batting uselessly at Clovers tickling digits. 

“You deserve this you know.” Clover chided, clawing at Qrow’s belly with one hand while the other restrained Qrow’s hands. “If you had just taken the bit of sandwich I offered you, no of this would have happened.”m

“I’m sorryhehehe! It was a johohohke!” Qrow laughed, pulling at his hands caught in Clovers grip. 

“Too late for sorries love.” he tutted, spidering his way up Qrow’s torso to his worst spot, “You did the crime, now you gotta do the time.”

Qrow didn’t get to respond as Clover hit his underarms, tickling without mercy and sending Qrow into hysterics. “This is why you never mess with Clover Ebi’s lunch. Let’s hope you learn something from this.” Clover said cooley, grinning wide at Qrow. 

The tickling lasted a few more minutes before Clover finally took pity on the man, residing his fingers and booping Qrow’s nose. Clover placed his hands on either side of Qrow’s head and stretched his legs out. Once he was in the proper position he dropped down a top Qrow and grinned at him. Qrow groaned but was too weak to do much more than weakly smack at Clover's arm. 

“And you say I’m a menace.” Qrow panted, laying an arm over his eyes.

“You are a menace, but you’re my menace. So it's fine.” Clover beamed, nuzzling his nose against the underside of Qrow’s chin. Qrow grumbled but Clover saw his smile and was pleased.

“You wouldn’t actually send that to anyone right?” Qrow asked, looking down at Clover with pleading eyes.

“Oh, yeah that wasn’t recording.” Clover replied flippantly. Smirking when Qrow tensed beneathing him, “What? You really thought I would send a video like that to everyone? If they wanna see you laugh they gotta work for it! Like I did.” He giggled at the sudden feeling of fingers dancing over his sides, “Nohoho! I already suffered! Haha! Qrow come onhohon!” 

Qrow’s tickle attack was far shorter than Clover’s. He seemed to get bored with it and took to threading his hands through Clover hair instead. “What am I gonna do with you lucky charm?” Qrow mused, pecking Clovers forehead lovingly.

“Love me. Never leave me. Not steal me food?” he hummed, settling down on top of Qrow for a nice nap.

“Sure whatever. I’m tired.” Qrow yawned, putting an arm lazily over Clovers back.

Clover yawned into the back of his hand, “Same. You don’t have any more missions today right?”   

“Nope. Now shut up and sleep.” Qrow murmured, already halfway to dreamland. 

Clover smiled softly, “Sir, yes sir.” and he drifted off with his lover, content in the knowledge that Qrow might think twice before trying to steal his food.

Faunus Qrow AU

AU where Raven and Qrow are bird faunus. Both of them have much more feathery hair. There isn't much about Raven as I haven't really fleshed her out in this AU.

Qrow himself has tail feathers, which he typically tucks up against his back and hides with his cape and jacket. He knows from experience growing up that they can be used against him. He also knows how horrible some people can be.

Qrow is much closer to Blake in this AU. They both bond over mutual experiences with racists and seeing Blake be more open about being a Faunus makes him do the same.

When they go to Atlas, they're both unsure about how people will react, but both of the are ready to defend themselves and the team would defend them in a heartbeat.

Ozpin saw the twins and was motivated by their faunus appearances (Qrow with a crows tail feather shape and Raven with raven legs) when deciding what they would turn into. Nora definitely went even crazier when it came to finding out.

Around Volume 6 is when Qrow starts being more open about being a Faunus. He confides in Ruby and Yang, who definitely knew beforehand and have heard about his struggles. He also finds himself talking to Blake - the only other Faunus - and Maria - the only older person - quite often. They both relate to him on some level and he realises how nice it is to have someone to talk to.

Both he and Blake are encouraged not to cover up their Faunus features as they're a part of themselves. The team makes it very clear they're ready to fight anyone who even looks at them wrong.

Also, it's jokes galore with these kids and at Patch. Everyone who knows about Qrow can't handle the fact that he's got crow features and that's his name. Qrow can barely go a day with these people and not have ‘what's got your feathers ruffled?’ Or ‘you're not getting the worm this morning?’ He can't decide whether to be amused or mad. He decides both when Yang cracks a particularly good joke over dinner.

The only other people who know much about it before Qrow started being open were Glynda, Ozpin, Ironwood and Winter.

Sorry for such a disconnected, long, rambly post. Send me asks about this AU!
