These HC are for the definitely not even remotely canon volume 8 because those have the most feels.
29. one headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart
When Glynda hears Ruby’s message about James, she races to Atlas, desperate to figure out what’s happening. She has to see for herself what’s happening and help everyone. However she gets their too late. Atlas has fallen and the Ace Ops tell her that James is dead, Robyn making a point to state that he deserves it and Glynda is mortified when no one scolds her for her callous attitude. Glynda turns to Qrow and demands to know if he agrees with her, but Qrow at this point isn’t really processing anything that’s happening, all he can think about is his nieces are dead and his semblance has to be blamed for it. He’s merely numbly going along with everyone not really processing anything. Glynda can’t help but blame herself, if she had gotten to Atlas faster, if she had checked on him and made sure he was okay, maybe he would still be alive.
30. one headcanon about this OTP that mends it
Glynda refuses to join the group, deciding she would go back to Beacon but she needed a moment to mourn. The others leave her and she collapsed to the ground, crying, but then, she hears something and goes to investigate, and finds James, hurt and confused but very much alive dragging himself out of the icy water. Glynda sneaks him off to her ship and resolves to sneak him back to Beacon to rest and recover. James only has vague memories or what happened in Atlas, only really remembering that everyone betrayed him and Atlas fell. Because of his memory loss and severe injuries Glynda convinces him to stay and rest so no one finds out he’s alive and she would much rather have it that way for his safety.
