Summary
When Nightingale asks Peter if he can take Toby and sleep in the coach house for the night, Peter doesn't find it especially weird. But when Toby starts barking in the middle of the night and won't stop, and then won't follow him back into the Folly to investigate, that's when he starts having suspicions. Because in this AU, Nightingale has another secret, and Peter is about to discover why it's unwise to go creeping around the Folly under the light of the full moon...

Summary
Clover is dead, and it's all Qrow's fault. But not just his, it's James's fault too, and Qrow intends to make him pay for that, and for the rest of the mess he's making. But for now Qrow is locked in a cell, and for some reason Robyn, his cell neighbour and someone who has just as many reasons to hate the guy right now, doesn't think that killing James is the answer. While they try to escape and get back in the fight, can she convince Qrow that he's a better man than that and that there's a better way, or will he let his grief and self-hatred take him to as dark a place as James's fear is taking him?
(A re-write of Qrow and Robyn's storyline in vol8. Part of a larger re-write AU series but can also be read as a standalone.)

Summary
Salem's forces have arrived, and James Ironwood returns to his office to face the fight in front of him. He's low on allies, even shorter on time, minus the use of one arm and without the Maiden, the Lamp or the Staff, but he still has a battle to win and a city to defend. And desperation can push a man to great, or terrible, things...
(Missing scenes and a rewrite of other scenes, putting a mostly-sympathetic spotlight on Ironwood, his state of mind, his injuries, and the mess he makes in the aftermath of Vol7 and the beginning of Vol8.)Series
- Part 1 of Not This Place, Not Today

Summary
Qrow exits airship left, transformed into a bird, and instead of fighting Clover he manages to get to James in time to stop him from shooting Oscar. Things develop from there as our heroes try to figure out how to work together again and face down Salem's invasion as a (mostly) united front. An optimistic fix-it series.
James/Qrow, but also an ensemble story.- Words:

Summary
Nicky doesn’t want a stupid police officer to bring the bad guys to justice, she wants a soldier. Nicky is upset, Peter is exhausted, for Oberon it’s Tuesday. And Nightingale, of course, is a soldier.
Title comes from the quote, The first virtue in a soldier is endurance of fatigue; courage is only the second virtue.

Summary
I wanted Nightingale to know he had people that cared about him, in their own way, struck by the loneliness in his voice in the library the other day.
