Bumbleby week day 5 - soulmates/reincarnation
Went with an AU version of Blake waking up from a dream of a past life she didn’t know she adored so much.
A Helping Hand
Rated T
Summary: Yang has to be without her prosthetic while Pietro repairs it, which means washing her hair very literally single handed. Or does it? Blake steps in to help her girlfriend.

This fic earns no AO3 archive warnings to my knowledge, but to be safe there's a trigger warning included at the start, just in case. There really isn't much in the way of angst this time, just fluffy Bees.
Locked to registered users on AO3, no thanks to gen AI thieving bots. Feel free to send me an ask if you'd like an invite to register for an AO3 account.

Day 2: Fake Dating
A “Damaged Good AU” snippet
“Run that by me again?” Yang wasn’t angry. If anything she seemed amused, and Blake hoped to keep it that way.
“So there is a group of faunus that are all aquatic by nature. They have their own traditions and culture.” Blake started explaining.
“Yeah I remember you saying something about bringing them into the fold, and I’m all for that.” Points at their two companions. “But why are the midget and Vomit Boy here, OUCH!” The expertly thrown apple bounced off Yangs forehead. When her eyes opened they had turned red, “That’s IT! Let’s go…dang it.” Neo was cradling a sleeping Luna Belladonna in her arms, smirking up at Yang.
“This tribe, for lack of a better word, think same sex marriage is unnatural.l Blake explained while rubbing her temples. “It was hard enough to get them to the table when they learned I had married a human. If they learned it was a woman we may never establish a working relationship with them.”
“According to Xanthe’s research, ow, these people may, ow, have access to natural remedies, ow, that the rest of us have forgotten. Ow, ow, ow!” Jaune was currently holding both Summer and Sol and they were both yanking on his beard. But with her unlocked Aura, Summer’s yanks were quite painful.
“Gimme,” Yang said as she reached for the girl. Once Summer was in her arms and cuddling her she asked, “so they know you’re married to a human? They may know that it’s a blonde human, but they don’t know it’s a female. So V…” Neo palmed another apple from the fruit bowl, “Lover Boy’s gonna be me?”
“Sorta,” he answered while rubbing the back of his neck.
“So Neo’s what? His bodyguard still?”
Neo nodded with a mischievous smile before she shattered like glass and the new version of her was wearing a Menagerian uniform with bi-colored fox ears sticking out of her head.
“This is never gonna work.” Yang said with a sigh.
*****
“I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WORKED!” Yang yelled out as she drove the four back from the meeting. Neo was still in her disguise with a huge smirk and Jaune was not quite looking anyone else in the eye. “What’s wrong, Jaune? It worked, didn’t it?”
Blake hid a giggle behind her hand as she looked back at the knight and his paramour. “Go ahead and tell her. It will save me from having to.”
Jaune rubbed the back of his neck, his nervous tick in full effect. “So while I thought we were pulling everything off really well, their leaders daughter…”
“The mute one, right? You knowing RSL came in clutch there.” Yang interrupted.
“Yeah, well she told me and Neo during the victory celebration that the reason the leader signed up was, well, your intelligence about them was…incorrect…kinda.”
“Huh?” Yang felt like she was out of the loop on something.
Blake took over the explanation, “it seems they saw the way you were looking over at Jaune and I and assumed he was bedding us both.”
“I mean, they weren’t completely wrong.” Yang replied.
“They’re all polyamorous. Since they assumed all four of us were sleeping together they decided we were trustworthy,” Jaune said biting back a laugh, “unlike the previous regime.”
Yang blinked and then blinked again. Then she looked at Blake, “so they didn’t hop aboard before now because your mom and dad had a healthy, monogamous, marriage?” Blake just nodded
Then with a mischievous grin, “can I be the one to tell them? Please!”
Take me to church
Blake is shaking. Yang is bleeding.
Neither of them are okay - but they’re alive, and they’re together.
That’s enough.
