#pyrrha lives

[howlingday]

So I kinda wanna talk about Pyrrha and Jaune swap.

..this is the rare case in which I can like an idea if it tries to do its own thing.

For Jaune (to me) Pyrrha's death was another sign of how he's failed as a huntsmen and eventually he learns to take her death and try to improve so he can ensure no one else he cares about dies (which is what Imma be doing in my rewrite as well, with Rwby: fates Jaune having a lot more self hatred and a inferiority complex.) but it also represented a blow to the image of huntsmen and huntresses in general. Pyrrha was THE invincible, a pinnacle of humanity's capacity to fight back against the grimm, her death made an impact.

But to me, I think if the death swap happened. It would be more personal and less world wide

With pyrrha it would represent how much she's failed to live up to what people assume of her and it would especially hurt due to her relationship with Jaune and it causes pyrrha to lose her sense of self.

And that means trouble. There is no outward rage, no screams of hatred, no proclamation of ending cinder. Just a cold, dead, hunter, filled to the brim with a quiet searing rage.

Ofcourse pyrrha would be pulled out of it and maybe it would be partially thanks to her team, Ruby, and Oscar, but mainly Pyrrha reconstructing herself, understanding she can't be the invincible girl.. but she can be someone who stands by her friends and ensures that no one ever dies under her watch... Also maybe she'd help train Oscar.

Alright I've spewed my fanfic idea, have a good day.

"It would be more personal and less [global]". Y'know, funny enough, I was having a conversation about why Ruby was so affected by Pyrrha's death when the two barely interacted at all. I reasoned it was more with arriving JUST before the killing blow, meaning Ruby was powerless to stop a death right in front of her, which was why she had that sudden burst of Silver Eye power. However, if CRWBY was going for her being upset at the death of a friend, then they should really have invested more points into RWBY and JNPR being friends instead of RWBY being friends with RWBY and JNPR being friends with JNPR and then Ruby and Jaune are also kinda friends, like what we got.

"Just a cold, dead hunter, filled to the brim with a quiet searing rage." So Pyrrha would essentially shut down, maybe even going full Vegeta in her training and never giving herself time to rest or grieve? That's so heartbreaking, though I have to wonder how she gets closure compared to Jaune finding the statue and meeting "the red-haired woman" that we all assume is her mom.

Honestly, now I'm thinking of how Pyrrha's going to react to meeting Oscar. I mean, Jaune wasn't there for Pyrrha's arc with Ozpin, but meeting Ozpin again, face-to-face? I'm just trying to wrap my head around how she feels about meeting the man responsible for not only her half-Maiden powers, but also for the death of her best friend.

And now I'm thinking of that AU where Jaune did die and Pyrrha wears his torn hoodie while Weiss tries to comfort her.

Anxious Arkos

Jaune: *acting as crossing guard for the children of Mantle, being hit on by Mantle milf brigade*

Pyrrha: ☹️ *feeling a queasy cold weight in her guts, imagining awful scenarios of Jaune being invited to milf’s houses and seduced by soft, sexy older woman who can cook*

———————————————————————

Pyrrha: *acting as high-profile security for Atlas elites, being flirted with by famous and wealthy Atlesians*

Jaune: 😣 *pacing anxiously, imagining equally awful scenarios of Pyrrha forgetting him forever and leaving on the arm of a rich well-endowed Atlas man with perfect hair who doesn’t trip over his own feet like a dork*

———————————————————————

Jaune/Pyrrha: *clinging to one another in the intervention chair*

RWBY_N_RO: *gathered around, exhausted by Arkos anxiety*

Ruby: Jaune, Pyrrha, this is an intervention!

Weiss: You’re both driving us crazy with your constant worrying about one of you leaving the other!

Nora: You’re cute together, but you’re both so anxious that the rest of us are losing sleep reassuring you every time you have separate missions!

Pyrrha: We’re sorry! 😢

Jaune: It’s just that we read these “NTR” stories on the internet, and-!

Blake: WHAT DID I TELL YOU TWO CINNAMON ROLLS ABOUT READING THOSE?!

[novankenn]

I'm Sorry...

(Heroes make sacrifices... unwelcome ones.)

Pyrrha was spent and broken. She knelt on her knees, looking up at the wicked woman as she slowly drew back on the sting of her bow. So many regrets danced in Pyrrha's head, chiefly among them were all the wasted chances she had with Jaune. She was a coward, several times over. Unwilling to take the chance and now throwing it all away... but... but at least he would be safe. He could continue on and became the man she knew he would be.

Cinder smirked as she pulled the string of Midnight to full draw. This was it, everything was falling into place. With Nikos removed, Ozpin's plans would be gutted, even more so than they already were. More importantly, the shadow of Nikos, the girl who had everything that should have been hers, would forever be removed from Cinder's world.

Cinder felt like she had been hit with a sledgehammer as she was suddenly, and violently carried sideways, he well aimed arrow flying past Nikos' head harmlessly.

"Jaune?"

/=/ Moments earlier /=/

Just before the rocket locker could launch, Jaune drove the edge of his sheath into the side of the door, jamming it into the seal. Expanding the relic from the great War, the door screeched and the safety systems activated. The door was breached, causing the count-down to abort. Twisting his Heirloom weapon, using it like a pry bar, he forced the door open further. He was frantic, he knew what Pyrrha was planning to do. He couldn't let it happen like that.

He was just moments behind her, and while she used the ruined elevator shaft to rise up to meet her destiny, Jaune struggled to climb. Pushing his weary muscles past their limit. Making the top of the shaft, he took a minute to gather himself. He watched the one-sided battle between Pyrrha and the murderess, and he made his decision. Pulling out his scroll, he prepared to enact his plan.

/=/

"Jaune!" Pyrrha screamed as she watched her crush, crash bodily into the exposed side of Cinder. He was unarmed, using his very body as a weapon. "JAUNE!"

The breath was knocked out of Cinder's lungs at unanticipated impact, and it took a couple of seconds for her to understand that she was being bodily carried away from her target.

Jaune knew he didn't have the skills or abilities to help Pyrrha. If that wretched woman was so easily dealing with Pyrrha, someone who was leagues beyond him in skill, he had no chance in facing her... normally. But he quickly knew what he could do. What tools he had that she may not be able to counter... surprise and mass.

"NO! JAUNE!" Pyrrha screamed as she fought to rise to her feet, the searing pain of the arrow through her heel causing her to collapse and watch in horror as Jaune carried himself and Cinder over the edge of the tower.

Cinder flailed about, calling upon the Maiden's powers and her own semblance to free her. But it was too little too late as the extra weight carried her over the edge and pulled her towards the ground... far... far below.

/=/

"I found this, when I picked you and Ruby up." Qrow spoke softly as he held out his hand, an active scroll held gentle between his fingers.

With a shaking hand, Pyrrha reached out and took it. Nora and Ren closed about her. Qrow pressed his lips together and slowly walked off, giving the broken team some privacy. They all saw the icon indicating that there was an unsent message. Whimpering, Pyrrha shakily reached out and touched it.

"Hi." Jaune spoke, his trademark smile, weak and strained. "If you're watching this, then I guess it worked... or at least I hope it did."

"Jaune." Nora choked out as Ren squeezed her shoulder.

"I don't expect anyone to understand or be happy with what I've done, and I'm sorry, and I wish I was there for you to all yell at me like I deserve... but I guess this will have to do."

"Jaune..." Ren broke and sobbed.

"People always looked at me funny when I said I wanted to be a hero. They told me I didn't know what I was talking about, but I did." Jaune's image gave a broken half-hearted smile, "I know what a hero is... they give their all to help those around them make a better world. They do so without hesitation. They're willing to sacrifice themselves for the chance at a better future for those they care about."

"No... Jaune... you shouldn't" Pyrrha couldn't continue, her sorrow grabbing her heart and crushing it.

"To protect those I love, I will do what I can, and I do it willingly, because I know that if whatever Ozpin has gotten us involved in..." tears could be seen in Jaune's eyes, "If... if Remnant has a chance at a better future, it's with all of you..."

The trio could say nothing as they watched as Jaune looked up, his eyes obviously watching something they couldn't see. Pyrrha whimpered, as she could easily guess at what that was, by the pained look in her crush's eyes.

"I don't expect you to understand, or forgive me. Just know I did the only thing I could to make sure you guys could save everyone else." Jaune's eyes returned to look into the camera. Tears were beginning to roll down his cheeks, as his voice was getting choppy with emotion. "I love you all... I always will. I'm sorry."

"Jaune!" Pyrrha screamed in anguish as the video stopped. Ren and Nora wrapped their arms about the shattered spartan. Their own hearts torn with grief. "Jaune... Jaune... Jaune.... "

Jaune’s Father: “Walk the walk Jaune and talking the talk will come natural”

Jaune: *Stunned by Pyrrha kissing him*

Pyrrha: *About to shove Jaune in the rocket locker*

Jaune: *Feels Pyrrha’s hands on his chest, misinterprets and shoves his tongue down Pyrrha’s throat*

Pyrrha: *Eyes open in shock* MMMMPPPHHH!!!!! *Flustered by her naughtiest dreams coming true*

Jaune: *Enjoying the kiss, grabs and squeezes Pyrrha’s asscheeks*

Pyrrha: *Squeals, tries to push Jaune off*

Jaune: *Thinking Pyrrha’s about to push him into the locker and run off to die, panics*

Pyrrha: *Pyrrha’s brain shuts down as Jaune’s thigh rubs against her core, loses the ability to stand upright*

Jaune: *Spins, pushes a dazed Pyrrha in the locker and sets it off*

Pyrrha: *Already three hundred feet from Jaune* W-what, no! No! NOOOO!!! *Incredibly angry* Gosh flipping darnit girl, you l-let him get you all riled up and now he’s going to get himself killed!

----------------- 

Jaune: *In an elevator* This is officially the stupidest idea you’ve ever had! Even worse than the stuff with Cardin, worse than the Deathstalker, worse than the time you took the blame for Coral breaking the window and somehow, someway, worse than the time you let Saphron put you in a dress, do your makeup and practice kissing a ‘girl’!

Elevator: *Shakes ominously*

Jaune: *Pale* I mean you just had your first real kiss with a girl, you felt her ass up and holy gods does Pyrrha have a nice, tight, big one, you’re still hard as diamonds and instead of running from the school that literally had a hole burnt through it by some kind of fucking firebreathing Grimm abomination, you go in! *Elevator goes into freefall*

Elevator: *Jaune’s screams replace screeching metal, crashes*

Jaune: *Climbs out, unharmed but aura has shattered* There’s got to be a limit, Jaune! Sure I turned Pyrrha to putty in my hands but that should not translate into running headfirst into certain death! Stupid Dad and his stupid advice! *Is hit in the head by a cane* Fucking ow! What the shit!?

*Witnesses Ozpin firing a gout of emerald fire that clashes with two huge streams of fire from the hot Haven girls hands*

Jaune: Oh what the fuck. And here I thought walking the walk was gonna be cool. Stupid Pyrrha. *Ducks underneath a scintillating jade orb thrown by Ozpin which vaporizes the elevator leaving nothing behind, in a falsetto* ‘Oh I’ll just kiss him and he’ll be so surprised and then I’ll shove him in a locker and go do something that’ll probably get myself killed. Teehee!’ *Breathes out* Not that I’m doing any better. The hot but apparently crazy Haven chick can fucking fly and - is that a tornado, ohhhh I’m gonna die - and Ozpin’s...

*Sees Amber*

Jaune: Is going to go to prison because this is a sex dungeon. Okay, Okay, you’re cool. Sure it was unanimously decided Pyrrha was going into the singles portion of the tournament and you nearly broke your neck twice getting down here, but something tells me sad Pyrrha has something to do with this. *Pauses* Which makes me wanna punch Ozpin, but question the pedo headmaster after you help!

*Sees Ozpin get a glass spear through the left lung*

Jaune: *Quickly* Or not. Okay, she’s monologuing, that’s good. Sneak, sneak, sneak-sneak-sneak. Blah, blah, magic? Really lady? Add delusional on top of crazy. Just get in closer, give her a nice kick to the ass and Ozpin will use his weird green themed semblance to obliterate her. *Hears Pyrrha mentioned* Ignore the urge to kick the dying sicko in the nuts, just focus on hurting the crazy chick who was apparently gonna kill my sorta-kinda-maybe girlfriend. Just nice, slowly, easily, quietleee-- *trips over his shoelace* --EEEEEEYYYOOOOPPPP!!!

Cinder: *Coughs wetly, stares at the sword sticking through her chest* H-how...?

*Cinder falls on top of Ozpin, her body crushed between the Headmasters and the shellshocked Jaune’s*

Ozpin: *Confused and dying* Mr. Arc?

Jaune: *High pitched* IswearIonlymeanttokickherintheasssoyoucouldfinishhereoff!

Ozpin: *Coughs* I believe you. Unfortunately it was not to be. You pierced her straight through the heart.

Jaune: I didn’t mean to?

Ozpin: And in doing so you’ve saved miss Nikos from a terribly cruel fate.

Jaune: Oh. That’s good. I’m pretty sure that if she hadn’t tried to shove me in that stupid rocket locker there’s at least a 50% chance Pyrrha would’ve jumped my bones, Grimm invasion or not.

Ozpin: *Groans in dismay* Only to quite possibly doom yourself to one.

Jaune: *Suddenly at full attention* You say what now?

Ozpin: You’ve stabbed me as well. *Sees Jaune about to speak* You’ve stabbed my other lung, young man.

Jaune: I-I’m sorry?

Ozpin: Not yet you aren’t. Usually when I reincarnate it’s some unlucky, random bastard. But you’ve imprinted on me.

Jaune: What.

Ozpin: I’m an immortal wizard who, when he dies, his soul and consciousness along with all his memories are transferred into a new man’s preexisting body.

Jaune: *Panicking* I don’t want you in my head, headmaster! On the off chance you’re not just a nasty pedophile, I really don’t want you in my head! I don’t think you wanna be there either! *Ozpin doesn’t respond* Professor? *Still nothing* Headmaster! *Ozpin is dead, Jaune* Ozpin you old fuck, don’t you dare, I don’t wanna hear your voice when I’m deep dicking my hot redheaded partner!

Ozpin: *Body explodes into green motes of light which Jaune inhales*

Jaune: AAAHHH, I DON’T CONSET, I DON’T CONSENT!

----------------- 

Pyrrha: *Bringing dat ass back, clapping his groin* Oh Jaune, oh gods yes I love it, I love your cock so-s-s-so much! *Twists and twirls her booty on his cock* Oh f-fuck, I’m gonna cum agaaaaaiiinn!!

Jaune: *Going hard, closing in*

Pyrrha: Oh yes, please, harder, I’m gonna cum all over that delicious Arc meat again and o-o-oh shit, fuck yes Jaune, fill your slutty Nikos bitch up with your hot jizz!

Ozpin: *Mentally* She’d be cumming harder if you did what I suggested.

Jaune: *Mentally, trying to focus on Pyrrha’s voice and the image of her* Shut up. This is me time you parasite and I don’t care how long you’ve lived, I don’t need advice from the guy who’s ex is out to end the world.

Ozpin: *Mentally* I’m just saying, miss Nikos is a natural born sub. Placing your foot on her head and giving her what I’m telling you she absolutely wants by degrading her, lambasting her the way she does herself and I guarantee you the rewards will be worth it. I know you’ve been eying her anus for quite some time now, give her what she wants--

Jaune: *Mentally, pushes in deeper which makes Pyrrha wail* I knew I couldn’t trust you to shut up! ‘Oh no, the time you spend with miss Nikos will be your own, I’m just an old soul here to help you fight my batshit crazy ex’ and now you’re trying to live vicariously through me! *Eyes widen as Pyrrha spreads her cheeks, lying facefirst on the bed and moaning*

Ozpin: *Mentally, smugly* Oh of course. You certainly don’t want advice from a man who has slept with literally thousands of women. She’s cumming, by the way.

Pyrrha: Ooooohhhh gods, yesyesyesyesyesyesyes I’m fucking cummiiiiiinnnngggg!!!!!!!!! Fuck, fuck, fuuuu~uuuck you’re so fucking gooooood!!!!!

Jaune: *Cumming his brains out*

Ozpin: *Mentally* Good to see you plan on following my advice next round, Jaune. If you feel like paying me back, you could always just tell Pyrrha that you’ve gone through my memories and developed a taste for hardcore, mistress of pain BDSM.

Jaune: *Mentally, lying on Pyrrha’s pronebone body, still inside as they both recover* This is all Dad’s fault. No amount of badass magic is worth this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

I wanted one of these to have the advice backfire while still working and while I thought about it being an eventual Raven Jaune’s Father, I realized Pyrrha offered the best opportunity ever in the form of Ozpin, the unwanted and overly friendly brain ghost.

Hopefully any hardcore Arkos fans reading this don’t mind this one being the lewder, screwier one.

When you find your thought to be dead girlfriend chillin in the woods

The conversation that started it all.

(Pyrrha meets Oscar for the first time, JNR are very protective, and Ozpin gets used to not being in control. this fic takes place a few days after JNR saves Pyrrha, and is a completed prologue of sorts for the story as a whole.)

CHAPTER 2

well, technically Chapter 1, the bit I already published was the prologue, but shush

look at me keeping up a schedule of posting on saturday! it probably won’t last but we’ll see 

I’m thinking probably I’ll start posting other stuff on saturday too, so I can do something each saturday without depleting my backlog too quickly lol

actual interaction between pyrrha and ruby??? in my pyrruby fic??? it’s more likely than you think!

[scrabbleknight]

In some alternate universe, Jaune dies instead of Pyrrha, making her the Fall Maiden and traveling with Ruby, Nora and Ren to Shade Academy in Vacuo instead of Haven Academy, where it's safest to keep a Maiden at, because Qrow ordered them to. He goes to Mistral alone to investigate the Haven Academy students.

Pyrrha suffers from nightmares, has eyebags from lack of sleep, and generally fights more vicious and brutal than before. She fashions her new armor to be more like Jaune's and wears his hoodie underneath. Before heading to Vacuo, they visits Jaune's home first and meets his parents, where they have this sad scene and stuff.

Cinder is obsessed with Pyrrha (and Ruby for damaging her per canon), wants the Fall Maiden powers and we see a Fall Maiden battle. Pyrrha ultimately loses because her anger caught up to her and because she's less experienced, and so does everyone else since they're also outnumbered. But they were saved by Shade Academy students/teachers, who are pretty tough cookies.

Blake stops the White Fang as canon. Not really much a change in this one since she already does it without the team in canon. Yang goes to Raven in order to make a portal to Ruby, meets up with Weiss and same thing happens. Except miscalculation occurs and they go to Haven, since Qrow isn't with Ruby. There, they meets Blake. They fight a huge White Fang army with the help of the Menagerie citizens and it'd be a bigger scale battle. Lionheart lives because no one knew, but Qrow and Oscar figures it out. Though, he escaped. QWOBY travel to Vacuo to meet up with RPNL.

So, yeah.
