            Spy knew just how to unravel Sniper. It wasn't a difficult task, as isolated and reclusive as Sniper was, it led to feeling touch starved, a longing he could only ignore up until he was met with it. But it was deeper than that; Spy knew how to sift through the mangy, dodgy man, how to dig his talons into flesh and rend forth the crimson sweetness Sniper kept buried beneath his vest. Spy was the one person Sniper felt entirely vulnerable around, shifting sighs and quickened breaths trapped beneath the cool, unfeeling metal of a balisong. Spy could carve him open, and he would smile, knowing he was bearing himself before the man he loved.

@pockettf2server is doing a Valentine's Week for TF2 so I thought I'd try and do a fic for each day. Never tried something like this before, but it seemed like a fun challenge. Couldn't pick just one ship though so you guys are going to get something new for each prompt.

For day one (prompt - battlefield/each other's weapons) I bring you some Bloody Suit. Thanks for reading, and feedback appreciated as always!

You know I kinda wish we got a Rise weapons trade, especially since Raph would have his special made. But hypothesize that he'd do well with the BŌ staff since he does well with a ladder.

He'd probably have the hardest time with Mikey's weapons than anything else.

Mikey would probably have a hard time with the swords and Staff because he's not use to mid-long range weapons.

Donnie would probably figure out Mikey's weapons but have the hardest time with Raph and Leo's.

Leo would struggle with Donnie's but master it, but he'll have a hard time with Mikey's and Raph's weapons.

Monochrome Week - Weapons Swap

A.K.A. - How Adam Taurus Should Have Ended

I added the top half of this illustration to add context to the bottom half, in which Weiss takes Yang's place in getting involved in the Blake-Adam conflict. It's a bit of my headcanon if Weiss and Blake stayed together during the fall of Beacon instead of splitting up - namely that they both get their abdominal scars from Adam stabbing them in his abusive, human-hating, Blake stalking, anti-Schnee rampage. Then Blake and Weiss help each other overcome the trauma Adam inflicted on them and defeat him together. This was also partially inspired by an ask answered by dashingicecream on tumblr. http://dashingicecream.tumblr.com/post/182465218712/if-you-could-rewrite-rwby-how-would-you-fit

I feel that there was lost potential by not having Weiss involved in this conflict considering the major conflict between the White Fang and the Schnee Dust Company, especially with the SDC branding revealed over Adam's left eye. Yang's involvement I can understand because of Blake brought up old experiences with Adam regarding Yang's anger when Cinder's faction set her up, and this arc helped to differentiate Yang and Adam's anger issues and aid Yang's character development. Perhaps Yang could still get caught up in this conflict as well (and maybe even retain both arms, hopefully). However, I believe there would be more significance in Weiss's involvement that would make it more meaningful and would really bolster both Blake's and her own character development. Adam's scar could open Weiss's eyes even more to the tainted legacy her father had created for her, and give her more motivation to defy and change said legacy, starting with fighting for someone she was once taught to hate. Adam would find the greatest revenge in killing one from the Schnees responsible for leaving the worst mark on him, and he'd feel even more betrayed seeing Blake fighting for said Schnee of all humans, especially if they became romantically involved. Blake would find greater solace in someone who at first distrusted faunus now fighting for her, and would readily defend her against their true antagonist.

I think that dealing the final blows with each other's weapons would be very symbolic of how much Blake and Weiss have grown together from each other, supporting one another.
